Chapter 70: The Greatsword Burning with Flames

After Yingzhou had the Catachan Warriors help the Thirteenth Regiment soldiers fight on the battlefield, he found a higher vantage point and summoned those ten Basilisk Self-propelled Artillery units and 40 Krieg Artillerymen to shell the Orcs continuing to charge onto the battlefield, allowing the Thirteenth Regiment soldiers who were fighting the Orcs to catch their breath.

Yingzhou detoured to the rear of the Orcs and, upon seeing a Priest being protected by a squad-sized group of Orc Guards, and noting that these Orcs were all equipped with Simple Bulletproof Armor, it seemed this was the reason for the changes in the camp.

Just then, the long-absent system prompt appeared.

【Task: Kill the Orc Priest.】

【Task Reward: One Random Draw.】

Yingzhou looked at the task he had triggered and silently closed the System Panel.

Just kidding, even without the task, he would have killed this Orc Priest himself; however, this time the Random Draw did not include the word "Legion"—is this a different type of draw?

Forget it, now is not the time to think about this.

Yingzhou summoned the Krieg soldiers, and without any superfluous words, he took out the Charge Whistle and put it to his lips.

Following a sharp whistle, these Krieg soldiers began to charge toward those Orcs from the rear; aided by the cover of the jungle, these Orc Guards did not discover that a group of uninvited guests had appeared behind them.

At this moment, Deji had not sensed the danger approaching; the constant sound of artillery in the distance made its ears ring, and it still needed to use its own power to maintain this ritual.

It was not until the Krieg soldiers were about to close in and the Lucius Model 98 Lasguns in their hands opened fire on these Orcs wearing Simple Bulletproof Armor that Deji realized it had been flanked.

The Orc Guards at its side protected Deji at the first opportunity; what surprised them was, why did a Two-legged Sheep this tall appear among this group of Two-legged Sheep?

The distance between the two sides was already close to 50 meters, and these Orc Guards also took out their Battle Axes, preparing to mince these Two-legged Sheep who had come forward to die into meat paste.

The Chainsword in Yingzhou's hand emitted a buzzing sound, and with one strike, he cleaved a strong Orc into two segments; to be honest, Yingzhou himself was a bit surprised by the power of this strike—is this the strength a normal Human should have? It seems his current form has already somewhat departed from the category of Human.

Seeing Yingzhou being so fierce, these Orc Guards wanted to kill Yingzhou with numbers, but the Krieg soldiers at Yingzhou's side would not agree; the bayonets and Entrenching Tools in their hands directly greeted the bodies of these Orc Guards.

The Orc Guards were surprised to find that these Two-legged Sheep, who were shorter than them, were actually attacking them recklessly. One Orc Guard used the long-handle advantage of his Battle Axe to flip a Krieg soldier into the air, but more Krieg soldiers rushed in front of him, and an Entrenching Tool severed its arm; immediately after, the throat, the skull—this Orc Guard was killed by the Two-legged Sheep it looked down upon.

Soon, the Orc Guards were all dealt with by Yingzhou and the Krieg soldiers. Yingzhou was covered in blood at this time, though it was all the Orcs'; with his current physical fitness, ordinary Orcs really couldn't do anything to him; he was slaughtering them like he had activated an invincible mode, as long as they didn't use guns.

Yingzhou turned off the Chainsword, stood a distance away from Deji, and shouted loudly, "Hey, that Orc Priest, hurry up and end the ritual, I can give you a quick death, otherwise, I'll chop you into eight pieces."

After sensing the abnormality behind it, Deji turned its head in surprise; it didn't expect its Orc Guards to have been wiped out. Even if they weren't the most elite Orc warriors, they shouldn't have been killed so easily, right?

Seeing the corpses of the Orc Guards lying on the ground, more than half were cleaved into two segments; clearly, it was the work of this strong Two-legged Sheep before its eyes.

Just as Yingzhou was preparing to move to finish off the Orc Priest, he suddenly saw the staff in the Orc Priest's hand flash with a green light, and subsequently, he felt a trance before his eyes, and the whole world was spinning.

Immediately after, he felt an extra voice in his mind: "This body of yours is simply wonderful, this body should belong to my Beast Race!" This voice was full of greed.

Yingzhou was startled, immediately realizing that this was the Orc Priest's doing. Although he couldn't understand what that voice in his mind was saying, it definitely wasn't anything good. That voice became increasingly intense, constantly battering his mind.

Seeing that it was surrounded, Deji already understood in its heart that it definitely couldn't escape this disaster.

Its gaze fell on Yingzhou, thinking: If I can successfully seize his body, then perhaps I might still have a glimmer of hope.

Thus, Deji launched its ability without hesitation, letting its soul leave its physical body and pounce toward Yingzhou.

When Deji's soul entered the depths of Yingzhou's consciousness, it was surprised to find that an unusual power was hidden within Yingzhou's consciousness.

Deji felt very excited; as long as it could master this power, it would not only be able to successfully master this body, but it might even become a leader among the Twelve Priests of the Beast Race.

Deji used its soul to probe the source of this power, and a Spiritual Power came to block it from going deeper into the mind. Deji smiled contemptuously; its own soul power was very strong. Yingzhou controlled his own Spiritual Power, resisting Deji's invasion of his mind.

Just at this moment, Yingzhou's consciousness saw a golden light flash in his mind, and subsequently, a Greatsword burning with flames slashed toward the Orc Priest's soul body at an extremely fast speed.

When Deji sensed this might, its soul could no longer move. It discovered in terror that a Greatsword burning with flames was cleaving toward it; this strike gave it a feeling of being unable to resist.

"No! This kind of power, how could you, this Two-legged Sheep, possibly possess it! I don't beli..." Before Deji's words were finished, its soul body had already dissipated, and the voice disappeared along with it.

Yingzhou also sensed at this time that his consciousness had been forcibly driven out. He regained his senses and discovered that the Orc Priest's corpse had already been minced into a pile of meat paste by the Krieg soldiers using their Entrenching Tools, even more miserable than eight pieces.

With the death of this Orc Priest, the blood-red mist that had shrouded the Thirteenth Legion also disappeared.

The soldiers who had been unable to use Spiritual Power just a moment ago, upon sensing that their power had returned, finally erupted with the emotions they had suppressed for so long. Attacks of various abilities smashed toward the Orcs at their sides, and the battle situation began to reverse.

"Great, brothers, slaughter all these Orcs and avenge our fallen brothers!" Nie Hao roared at the soldiers beside him and wiped the red-and-white mixture off his face; this was because a soldier beside him had just been hit by an Orc's Large Rifle, and his head had disappeared directly.

On the artillery side, the moment they could use Spiritual Power, Gu En's Earth Element directly caused the ground under the feet of this tall Orc wearing Simple Bulletproof Armor to sink, and the various abilities of the other soldiers also greeted these Orcs.
