Chapter 62: Retreat
"Lord Priest, please give me a chance; I will bring their heads back to you!" An Orc leader could no longer listen and came before the Priest to request the mission.
"I **your**, I... cough, um, go then. I shall witness your valor!" The Orc Priest, who was in the middle of a heated verbal exchange, coughed twice upon hearing this and spoke.
It was seen that this Orc led 300 Orc warriors to begin advancing forward in the jungle, the weapons in their hands aimed ahead, ready to open fire at any moment.
"Commander! The Orcs on the other side were triggered by your trash-talking and have started sending troops this way!"
A scout shouted to Nie Hao after seeing the situation at the Orc position through binoculars.
"Why did you stop barking! Out of words, huh! ***, competing with me on this, I'm afraid of you! That scout, how many of them are moving forward?" Nie Hao asked after hearing the scout's shout.
"About 300, they've entered our trap range!" the scout responded.
"Watch this!" Nie Hao summoned his Back Spirit, the Poison Miasma Element.
After this Back Spirit, which looked bouncy on the outside and similar to a slime, was summoned by Nie Hao, the soldiers around Nie Hao, including Hu Jie, all retreated far away.
"In a moment, a deep pit will appear there; trouble yourself to fill it with poison miasma," Nie Hao said to his Back Spirit, pointing his finger at the position where the group of Orcs was advancing.
This bouncy Poison Miasma Element received the order and bounced toward that side at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, after seeing the Commander summon his Back Spirit, Gu En also summoned his own Back Spirit, the Earth Element.
It was seen that after the group of Orcs reached the designated position, he pressed both hands onto the ground and shouted loudly.
"Ha!"
The ground beneath the 300-plus Orcs collapsed instantly, and the Poison Miasma Element arrived at the designated position at this time, jumping into it; the poison miasma began to spread in the deep pit, and the Orcs inside let out a series of painful roars.
The poison miasma burned their green skin and invaded their internal organs; soon, there was no movement.
"I **, do you Two-legged Sheep only know how to play dirty!" Just as the Orc Priest was jumping with rage, the staff in his hand lit up with a faint blue glow; after the light dissipated, the Orc Priest took a deep breath and said to the Orcs beside him.
"The High Priest has ordered! Let us retreat first."
When Nie Hao saw the movement of those Orcs retreating, he looked at Hu Jie in confusion, "Did I really trash-talk them away? That can't be right, can it?"
"It should be that the High Priest on the other side gave the order for them to retreat," Hu Jie explained from the side.
"Alright then, leave the patrol personnel, and everyone else return to the camp," Nie Hao nodded and issued the latest order.
Soon, the jungle returned to its usual tranquility, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.
On the way back, the faint blue light on the Orc Priest's staff flickered again; he had the strong Orcs beside him take charge of guarding, and his own consciousness entered a space.
In the pitch-black space, 12 faint blue light orbs were flickering constantly.
At this moment, a flat voice came from the pitch-black space, "Priest in the jungle, report the situation on your end; why was a camp destroyed?"
"Reporting to the High Priest, that group of hateful Two-legged Sheep sent a unit particularly skilled in jungle warfare to harass us here and attack our squads; even though we doubled the number of people in our outgoing teams, it was to no avail."
From one of the faint blue light orbs, the voice that had just been in a heated exchange with Nie Hao came out.
"Do you have a way to solve the problem now?" that flat voice sounded again.
"We are thinking of ways; we believe we will be able to solve this Two-legged Sheep unit soon, please give us some more time..."
However, the flat voice interrupted the Orc Priest's explanation without ceremony: "No need. Use a camp to hold a ritual. Take those Two-legged Sheep you have in your hands as sacrifices; if that unit you mentioned dares to head to that camp, let them die without a burial ground!"
This flat voice carried an unquestionable majesty and issued the order directly.
"Deji, do not let me down again this time. My requirements for you in the jungle are not high; just pin down a portion of the Human Alliance's attention there. Although the soldiers given to you are not the strongest, you cannot be beaten so miserably by those Two-legged Sheep."
The Orc Priest named Deji hurriedly replied, "I obey your will; I will handle it according to your requirements right away."
After this matter came to an end, other Orc Priests also spoke up to report the situations on their respective sides.
"High Priest, everything is going smoothly on my side; although there is some resistance, it won't be long before I wipe them all out."
"High Priest, we have breached the Outer City of the Human Alliance's Fourth Defense Zone; as long as we breach the Inner City, the Fourth Defense Zone will be taken. By then, the Human Alliance will only have the Sixth Defense Zone and the Ninth Defense Zone left."
Soon, the flat voice spoke, "Everyone, the Human Alliance is not just fighting us, the Beast Race. We have invaded this planet with fertile land; whoever captures a defense zone first, that defense zone belongs to them. We must strive for more land for the Beast Race!"
"Deji, once the main force of the Beast Race takes the Fourth Defense Zone, they will go to attack the Ninth Defense Zone; by then, you can vent properly. But, before that, I do not want to hear any more news about your failure."
Deji hurriedly spoke, "Yes, thank you for your mercy!"
After Deji's consciousness returned to his own body, he looked at the annoying jungle around him and said in a somewhat low tone.
"Prepare at the camp closest to those Two-legged Sheep; we are going to hold a ritual, a ritual that will ensure those annoying Two-legged Sheep never return."
Thirteenth Legion Camp.
Nie Hao's mouth kept curling upward and never came down after hearing that Yingzhou had actually destroyed an Orc camp.
"Hahaha, who would have thought, Yingzhou! I originally thought you could harass those Beast Race members and make them have a headache like we did before, but I didn't expect this kind of harassment from you? Directly wiping out an enemy camp!"
"Mm, I saw them sending a large group of Orcs toward our direction and guessed that something might have happened here, so I thought about intercepting this unit. Destroy their camp first, and then eliminate them when they are rushing back."
Yingzhou sat opposite Nie Hao, reporting the events encountered in the jungle earlier.
"Mm, not bad. I was mainly afraid that you would be targeted by the Orcs there, so I had the brothers press toward the Orc side. As a result, they thought we were going to go head-to-head with them? What a joke, why would we use what we aren't good at to deal with that group of Orcs?"
Nie Hao happily told Yingzhou about what happened today, and only then did Yingzhou realize that it was his own Commander who had orchestrated this.
