Chapter 80: You Only Need to Believe in the Emperor
After hearing the words spoken by Kelin, Xindi and Kaxi fell into a brief silence.
"Kelin, aren't you overthinking this? How is this possible? Right now, the entire population of our Inner City doesn't even add up to the number of people in the Outer City! How are we supposed to fight?" Kaxi's voice rose, eyes fixed on Kelin's eyes, and he said sternly.
"Kaxi, don't get excited. What I said is just a guess. Furthermore, our current strength simply cannot support us in fighting the Orcs head-on. This isn't something that can be done just by saying so." Kelin urged Kaxi to calm down and agreed with Kaxi's viewpoint.
Subsequently, Kelin continued, "If we want to ensure the Inner City is not breached, we can only first persuade him to help us. Once the Orcs' strength wanes, we will then consider taking the initiative to attack."
Kaxi also nodded in agreement with Kelin's statement. Xindi remained silent for a moment, made no indication of his stance, and stood up to leave.
Inside the guesthouse.
As night fell, Yingzhou, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed Gathering Spiritual Power, slowly opened his eyes.
Leaving his room on tiptoe, Yingzhou arrived on the streets of the Inner City at night.
At this time, there were only a few lights in the Inner City, and large areas were shrouded in darkness.
Based on his memory from the day, Yingzhou found a waste disposal site very close to the Giant Wall. Yingzhou endured the odor emanating from the waste disposal site and found a patch of land near the Giant Wall.
Subsequently, he summoned 10 Krieg engineers. Under Yingzhou's command, these Krieg engineers began to dig a deep pit in this patch of land.
Yingzhou stood to the side, deep in thought: Given the current situation in the Fourth Defense Zone, there is no absolute certainty of victory in a head-on battle. It is not just the higher-ups; even those soldiers would not choose to go up and fight the Beast Race directly.
What I need to do now is to have a group of people create a Disturbance in the rear of the Beast Race. While causing losses to the Orcs, it will also make those Orcs accelerate their progress in attacking the Inner City.
Only in this way can the people in the Inner City be forced into being willing to fight the Orcs.
The Krieg engineers quickly dug a deep pit and began to excavate toward the Giant Wall. Yingzhou also summoned the remaining 20 Catachan muscle men and arranged their tasks for after they reached the Outer City: harass the Beast Race, rescue survivors in the Outer City, and find the locations where those survivors captured by the Orcs were being kept in captivity.
Fourth Defense Zone Outer City.
Not long after the sky darkened, Han Li began to gather the survivors and started moving toward the Giant Cedar District.
Looking at the more than 100 survivors plus this group of 30 tall, burly, and muscular men, a sense of unease welled up in Han Li's heart. With so many people, it was somewhat impossible not to be discovered by the Orcs.
"Captain, those guys don't seem to have Awakened Back Spirit at all. Can they really defeat the Orcs?" a soldier beside Han Li whispered.
"I don't know. Ye Peng has seen them, but looking at them, they should have some tricks up their sleeves," Han Li said, shaking his head.
At this moment, Ye Peng heard their conversation and said with a somewhat urgent tone, "What I said is all true! They are really strong! Moreover, they seem to be exceptionally loyal to a person called the Emperor. You must remember not to say anything bad in front of them."
"But I have never seen anyone who hasn't Awakened Back Spirit be able to defeat those Orcs head-on, even though they are indeed quite big," the soldier beside Han Li said dismissively.
Ye Peng wanted to say something more, but he saw a soldier who was scouting ahead run back. He ran all the way to Han Li's side and said, "There is an Orc troop ahead, about 20 of them. The direction they are patrolling is exactly the road we are on now!"
Han Li sighed in his heart. Sure enough, once there were too many people, even if they encountered Orcs, they couldn't even retreat quickly.
At this time, the burly man wearing a hat shouted at Ye Peng, "That... Ye Peng? What the f*** are you guys whispering about over there?"
This shout gave Han Li a headache. There were already Orcs walking this way not far off, and this guy was still shouting—was he afraid that this group wouldn't be discovered soon enough?
Ye Peng trotted to the burly man wearing a hat and whispered, "Big Brother, we just happened to run into Orcs ahead and were discussing what to do."
The burly man wearing a hat looked at Ye Peng as if he were an idiot. "F***, you guys have been whispering there for ages just because there are Orcs ahead? I thought it was something else!"
Although his voice was not as loud as before, he did not deliberately lower it either. That rough voice still allowed the surrounding survivors to hear clearly what was going on.
A commotion began to break out among the surrounding survivors. Han Li couldn't help but slap his forehead. What kind of situation was this? Now it would be even harder to retreat.
Seeing the panicked appearance of the survivors, the burly man wearing a hat shouted, "F***, everyone be quiet for me! It's just a few Orcs, isn't it? Back home in Catachan, they are destined to be food. What the f*** are you panicking about!"
Seeing that the surrounding survivors had all quieted down, the burly man wearing a hat continued, "The great Emperor is merciful and sent us to save you. The only thing you need to do is believe in the Emperor!"
Having said that, he waved his hand and led the already eager Catachan muscle men to find that Orc Patrol Squad.
Clearly, that Orc Patrol Squad had already noticed the movement here, but they didn't take it to heart. Most of these Two-legged Sheep here were too weak to even run away; only those Two-legged Sheep with strange abilities were somewhat troublesome.
Upon seeing more than 100 Two-legged Sheep appear ahead, these Orcs took out their axes and clubs, preparing to slaughter a few Two-legged Sheep first to satisfy their cravings.
But when they saw 30 Two-legged Sheep walk out from the crowd who were about as tall as them and physically strong, a hint of mockery appeared in their eyes.
"Hahaha, these Two-legged Sheep actually want to fight us?" (Orc language.)
"Looks like they aren't those Two-legged Sheep with troublesome abilities!"
This Orc Patrol Squad raised the axes, clubs, and other weapons in their hands and charged toward these Catachan muscle men.
"Holy f***, these guys are really simple-minded, just charging straight in?"
"Hahaha, not cautious at all. They're not even as good as the kids we trained!"
They saw the 30 Catachan muscle men raise the Laser Guns in their hands. After each person fired two or three shots, only 20 corpses remained on the ground not far away, the blood flowing out staining the dim moonlight with a hint of red.
Han Li and the others were stunned by this scene. What was going on? Why did the weapons in these people's hands kill these Orcs instantly? And they were firing lasers!
"Captain, I told you this bunch of... Catachan... people would be fine, didn't I? They are really strong!" Ye Peng said in front of Han Li.
"I'm a bit curious, what kind of person is this Emperor who can make these muscle men keep him on their lips?" Han Li's eyes were filled with a hint of anticipation.
