Chapter 79: Kelin's Guess
After eliminating that batch of Orcs, Yingzhou did not see any more Humans with the aura of the Beast Race in any of the places he went to afterward.
Although it could not be confirmed whether there were no Orcs in the Inner City, what could be confirmed was that the traces of Orcs had disappeared from all important departments in the Fourth Defense Zone for the time being, and Kelin had tallied the number of people in each department and would not let them leave their respective posts during this period, so as to prevent the Orcs from taking advantage of the situation.
"Captain Ying, thank you for your hard work today; the Fourth Defense Zone is grateful for your help." Kelin led Yingzhou toward the guesthouse, some color returning to his face, and spoke to Yingzhou.
"Mm, I came to the Fourth Defense Zone specifically to eliminate the Alien Race." Yingzhou nodded and replied.
The two arrived in front of the guesthouse, and from a distance, Yingzhou saw that shiny bald head; it was Zhu Chengnu.
"Captain! You've finally returned! Today, some Orcs disguised themselves as soldiers of the Fourth Defense Zone, lured Zhao Jian and Ning Shen out, and attacked them." Zhu Chengnu had also seen Yingzhou from a distance; after all, Yingzhou's physique was very eye-catching.
Throughout the day, most of the soldiers in the Fourth Defense Zone had learned that a soldier with a physique so burly he didn't look like a Human had arrived from the Ninth Defense Zone.
"Are the two of them alright?" Upon learning this news, Yingzhou hurriedly asked Zhu Chengnu.
"There weren't many Orcs who attacked them, so they only suffered minor injuries and are nothing to worry about." Zhu Chengnu stood in front of Yingzhou, rubbing his bald head as he replied.
"Councilor Kelin, if there is nothing else, I will go check on my team members first." Yingzhou turned and said to Kelin.
"No problem, I will send someone to help your team members with their treatment in a moment. After all, these are injuries sustained while fighting the Beast Race here." Seeing the solemn expression on Yingzhou's face, Kelin spoke up.
"Mm, sorry for the trouble. Then I'll head up first." Yingzhou and Zhu Chengnu entered the guesthouse, and after watching Yingzhou enter, Kelin also let out a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Yingzhou walked into the room of Zhao Jian and Ning Shen, saw Ning Shen lying on the bed trying to get up, and said, "Rest well and recover; the Fourth Defense Zone will send someone over to help you with treatment in a moment."
"Sorry, Captain, I've caused you trouble." Ning Shen said with some shame.
"It's good that you two are fine; the Orcs in the Inner City have been mostly cleared out now. A situation like today's won't happen again." Yingzhou stood in front of Ning Shen's bed and said.
He also knew that his team members might be feeling hesitant and conflicted inside, because their strength really couldn't help much here, but he was, after all, someone who used cheats.
"Prepare to carry out your task tomorrow. Most of the Orcs' strength has been eliminated, but there must still be residual forces in the Inner City. In a moment, after the Fourth Defense Zone's medical staff treats your injuries, the five of you will start taking action tomorrow to look for suspicious people, but do not let anyone discover you. Once you confirm the identity of such a person, I will go and verify whether this person is a problem."
The eyes of Zhao Jian and the others clearly lit up, and Zhao Jian said with some excitement in his tone, "Don't worry, Captain. We will definitely complete the task you gave us well."
Seeing that the emotions of the group had recovered somewhat, Yingzhou nodded, and with the help of Zhu Chengnu, Yingzhou entered his room.
This was clearly a double room, with two beds pushed together, and they had obviously been lengthened.
Yingzhou smiled bitterly to himself, "If I were to return home now, I probably wouldn't even be able to get through the front door, right? Mom definitely wouldn't recognize what I look like anymore."
He emptied his mind and began Gathering Spiritual Power.
After arranging for the medical staff to head to the guesthouse, Kelin returned to his office.
He discovered that Xindi and Kaxi were both at the door of his office; clearly, they had been waiting for some time.
"Let's go inside to talk." Kelin spoke first, opened the office door, and invited the two in.
The three sat on the sofa, and Xindi said, "This Yingzhou, he caused quite a stir today. He went through every department and rooted out quite a few Orcs."
Kelin rubbed the corners of his eyes and said with a bitter smile, "Isn't that so? As soon as this Yingzhou arrived, the spies infiltrated by the Beast Race were pulled out completely. Even if there are still Orcs hiding among the civilians, they no longer pose a threat for the time being."
"This is the first time I've seen such an outrageous person; he can lock onto the Alien Race just by looking, and he hasn't made a mistake. Is his ability targeted at the Alien Race?" Kaxi frowned slightly, recalling the scene in the Meeting Room at the time.
"No, his Back Spirit is summoned randomly, but his physical fitness is very strong. In short, this Yingzhou is not simple." Xindi crossed her legs, supported her head with her right hand, and said.
"You didn't see the scene where this Yingzhou summoned them. Today, when I was with Yingzhou looking for Orcs that had infiltrated the Inner City, those undiscovered Orcs surrounded us, wanting to launch a riot directly in the Inner City. At that time, there were only the two of us; anyone else would not have thought they could win." Kelin began to recall that scene, paused, and continued, "He summoned nearly 100 soldiers at that time and solved those Orcs very quickly. The strength of those soldiers is also very strong, and their combat quality is also very high."
"100!" Xindi exclaimed.
She remembered that Yingzhou had previously summoned 30 soldiers to head to the Outer City, and this time he summoned another 100; this was just too outrageous. She had never seen such an outrageous Back Spirit. The Ninth Defense Zone was really willing to send such a person to the Fourth Defense Zone.
"The crisis in the Inner City has been resolved; next, we need to consider the Orcs' attack from the outside. Among the Beast Army attacking us, there are three Beast Race Priests, and their abilities are extremely bizarre; we haven't collected any information on them." Kaxi leaned back against the sofa and said slowly.
"The human-skin disguises used by the Orcs that infiltrated this time are the methods of the Beast Race Priests; this should be relatively common. In addition, the Beast Race will also give some elite Orcs special weapons; these weapons will have Runes inscribed on them by the Beast Race Priests, making these weapons or armor even more powerful." Kelin spoke up at this moment; this was some intelligence Yingzhou had shared with him today.
"Elite? Does that mean we haven't even seen the Orcs' elite yet, and we've already been beaten into this state?" Xindi found this statement somewhat unacceptable; they had managed to put up quite a bit of resistance, yet they hadn't even seen the Orcs' elite, and the Outer City had already been lost?
"This is also understandable; after all, we generally cannot detect the Orcs' infiltration methods. If it weren't for Yingzhou discovering this problem, the Fourth Defense Zone would have fallen in a while." Kelin shook his head and continued.
"Moreover, it looks like Yingzhou isn't just trying to hold the Inner City; he wants to drive the Beast Race out directly, and even..."
"Even what? His ideas are a bit unrealistic!" Kaxi retorted.
"Even to eliminate this Beast Army right here. This is my guess after spending the day with him today." Kelin paused and stated his guess.
