Chapter 68: Advancing the Front Line

"Yingzhou, I have another piece of news for you." Hu Jie said as he saw Yingzhou follow him out.

"More about me?" Yingzhou knew Hu Jie couldn't be joking about such matters, but he was still puzzled; could he really attract the attention of the higher-ups?

"Yes, in a few days, someone will come to take you to support the Fourth Defense Zone." Hu Jie said with a grave expression.

Yingzhou sensed Hu Jie's abnormality and asked, "Is there a problem with this?"

"That's true, for juniors like you, the Human Alliance higher-ups have stopped talking about the outside world. When the Alien Race invaded before, the Human Alliance planned out nine defense zones. These nine defense zones each had their own council to decide their future development paths. In other words, as long as one defense zone remains, the spark of the Human Alliance has not vanished." Hu Jie explained to Yingzhou.

"Nowadays, only the Fourth, Sixth, and Ninth Defense Zones are still holding on. The Fourth Defense Zone is currently being invaded by the Orcs; the Outer City has already been breached, and the Inner City being breached is only a matter of time. Therefore, sending you to support the Fourth Defense Zone is practically sending you to your death."

After hearing Hu Jie's words, Yingzhou just nodded slightly and said slowly, "Alright, I understand."

Hu Jie was surprised to see that Yingzhou didn't show a hint of emotion. He re-examined the man before him who stood like an iron tower, "Yingzhou, do you not feel any anger? This is sending you to your death."

"No, I am more concerned about those compatriots in the Fourth Defense Zone who are suffering at the hands of the Alien Race. This is my reason for killing the Alien Race." Yingzhou answered Hu Jie's question with a serious expression.

Hu Jie didn't speak further. He admired Yingzhou greatly in his heart, because very few people cared about the lives of others, especially those higher-ups. If the Human Alliance higher-ups could consider some serious problems instead of thinking about those petty infighting matters every day, how could humanity have ended up in this state?

The ridiculous thing is that even now, those who engage in infighting always make up the majority.

"Your mindset is admirable!" Hu Jie saluted Yingzhou and said.

Yingzhou also saluted Hu Jie, then turned and left.

The next day, the soldiers of the Thirteenth Legion organized their equipment and began to push toward the Beast Race side.

Because Yingzhou's squad had a Task to go out in a few days, they were assigned by Nie Hao to the flanks for reconnaissance duties.

Orc Camp.

After Deji finished holding the ceremony, several days passed without seeing those Two-legged Sheep attack the camp, and even the Orc units sent out had not been harassed.

This made Deji very annoyed. It had specifically prepared this big gift for those Two-legged Sheep; why weren't they coming!

"Damn Two-legged Sheep, it's been several days! Not a single movement! Before, they couldn't wait to harass us ten times a day, why aren't they coming now!" Deji looked at the camp not far away and cursed in a low voice.

He had been waiting here for 6 days and hadn't even seen the shadow of a Two-legged Sheep. This had put him in a bad mood lately.

"Priest! Priest!"

At this moment, a Beast Race scout ran to Deji shouting.

"What are you yelling for! What are you yelling for! Don't you see I'm waiting for the Two-legged Sheep to enter the trap? Go, teach him a lesson! Tell him not to be so rash in the future!" Deji said to the Orc guards beside him.

"Wait, Priest... ouch... stop hitting... Two-legged Sheep! Ouch..." Before the scout could finish speaking, two strong Orc guards stepped forward and gave him a beating.

Upon hearing "Two-legged Sheep," Deji hurriedly called for the two Orc guards to stop, and he asked with some urgency.

"What did you just say? Two-legged Sheep?"

"Uh... y... yes." The Orc scout was slurring his words now, but he still nodded hurriedly to answer.

"The... the Two-legged Sheep have started... coming toward us... a large force!"

Upon hearing this news, Deji stood up directly from the chair made of Two-legged Sheep bones and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, they're finally here! They're finally here! You guy, why didn't you say so sooner!"

The scout looked confused, "Did you give me a chance?"

"Go, go, go, get down there!"

Deji hurriedly had an Orc guard beside him notify the Orcs lying in ambush not far from the camp, telling them to prepare, and ordered the Orcs in the surrounding camps to start sending troops here.

During the process of the Thirteenth Legion pushing the front line, they did not encounter a single bit of Orc resistance, which made Nie Hao somewhat suspicious.

"Hu Jie, where do you think the Orcs went? We've pushed the front line 1500 meters, even if we didn't encounter a large force, we should have run into some resistance, right?"

Nie Hao frowned, looking at Hu Jie on the side with a suspicious expression as he spoke.

"Hmm, this is indeed a bit strange. If we encountered some resistance, we could feel more at ease, but with the current situation, I always feel something is wrong. How about we let the troops stop for a moment and send people to scout?" Hu Jie pondered for a moment and suggested.

"Hmm, let's do that!"

Soon, the scouts who went to investigate returned and saluted the two, "Commander! We discovered an Orc camp not far away, and the Orcs in the camp show no abnormalities."

"Hmm, first send a squad to check the situation, and also tell the artillery group to aim at that camp and fire first. After the shelling ends, go into the camp to check the situation." Nie Hao ordered the scouts after hearing this.

"Yes!"

"Wait!" Hu Jie spoke up at this time, "Commander, I suggest letting Yingzhou's soldiers act as the vanguard to check the situation in the camp."

After hearing Hu Jie's suggestion, Nie Hao nodded in agreement.

Soon, the Orc camp was baptized by artillery fire, but few of the Orcs inside were killed; they quickly found cover to hide.

Immediately after, Yingzhou summoned the Krieg soldiers. After blowing the Charge Whistle, the 100 Krieg soldiers did not hesitate at all, rushed into the camp, and engaged in fierce firefights with those Orcs.

The unique sound of the Orcs' guns led Nie Hao to guess that there were about 200 Orcs in the camp. He ordered Gu En's detachment to storm the camp and take it quickly.

Having been trained by the Catachan tough guys for the past few days, the 13th Legion was much stronger in the jungle than before. These soldiers had already fought in the jungle for a period of time, and with the guidance of the Catachan tough guys, it was simply twice the result with half the effort.

After storming the camp, they found that more than half of the Orcs inside had already been dealt with by those masked Krieg soldiers, although these masked soldiers had also lost quite a few men.

"Quick! Finish off all these Orcs!" Gu En shouted loudly.

Among these soldiers, some summoned their own Back Spirit, directly and quickly finishing off the Orcs who were still putting up a desperate struggle. Those Orcs hadn't expected that these Two-legged Sheep would actually have people enter the camp; although they tried their best to resist, they were still finished off by these soldiers.

Seeing that the camp had been occupied, Deji silently mourned for the Orcs in the camp, "Rest assured, I will make these Two-legged Sheep your tribute!"
