Chapter 84: The Opposing Side is Well-Equipped

"Councilor Xindi, I can understand your feelings of anger, but for now, let us put these matters aside and focus on how to resist the Beast Race's offensive on the Outer City. How about it?" Kelin's eyes narrowed into slits as he looked at the angry Xindi before him.

Xindi took a deep breath, plopped down into his seat, and put on an indifferent expression. "The meaning these representatives just expressed has absolutely nothing to do with fighting the Orcs. They are only thinking about how to protect the supplies in their own hands."

Kelin coughed a few times and said, "Well, I truly understand Councilor Xindi's desire to protect the Inner City. Although he is a bit impatient, he is young after all, so everyone please be more tolerant. Next, let us continue to discuss the issue of the Inner City's defense; let us not go off-topic and stick to the matter at hand."

The meeting continued, but the atmosphere had become somewhat strange.

Yingzhou was already speechless from listening; it was nothing more than increasing troop strength for defense, and as for supplies and ammunition?

Sorry, they had already been destroyed by the Orcs who had infiltrated.

Yingzhou stood up and, without speaking to anyone, left the Meeting Room.

Yingzhou's sudden departure caused the Meeting Room to fall into a brief silence.

"Hmph, young people, not even a shred of basic manners!"

Seeing that this group of representatives was about to start talking again, Kelin coughed twice. "Ahem, well, let's pause the meeting; everyone take a break for a while."

The representatives in the Meeting Room left one after another, while Kelin went outside and found Yingzhou.

Seeing Yingzhou say nothing, Kelin took the initiative to open the conversation. "Well, Captain Ying, you heard the content of the meeting just now. Our strength can only barely defend the Inner City; wanting to take the initiative to attack the Orcs in the Outer City is unrealistic. I understand your desire to earn merit, but one must consider the actual situation."

Hearing Kelin's words, Yingzhou turned his head, stared into Kelin's eyes, and with his tall, strong physique paired with Yingzhou's excessively indifferent gaze, he slowly spoke.

"Councilor Kelin, are you truly thinking for the Human Alliance? Or is it for your own selfish desires?"

Kelin said with a solemn expression, "Captain Ying, you must have listened to those words of Xindi's and perhaps developed some misunderstandings. I..."

Yingzhou stopped listening to the rest of Kelin's words and directly interrupted him. "I will judge that for myself. As for the matter of defending the Inner City, you all can discuss it yourselves; I have no interest in knowing what you are going to discuss next."

Kelin still wanted to say something more, but seeing that Yingzhou had already turned and left, he closed his open mouth.

The camp where the survivors were rescued by the Catachan.

After Cidu woke up from a sleep, he discovered that something seemed to be missing in the camp; the camp was a bit too quiet. Finally, he discovered that the Orcs and the Patrol Squad who were on guard duty last night were gone.

"Damn it, these guys actually dare to slack off! Someone come here, stop sleeping! Bring me all the Orcs who were on guard duty and patrolling last night!"

The Orc guards who were still in their dreams were woken up by their leader. Rubbing their sleepy eyes, they began to search the camp for the Orcs who had been on night watch.

Very quickly, these Orc guards discovered that the Orcs on night watch were all dead at the camp's sentry posts and along the patrol routes.

Their manner of death was very clean; all were killed with a single blow, and furthermore, the Two-legged Sheep in the camp were all gone.

This situation made these Orc guards feel a burst of anger; someone had raided their camp last night!

"Lord Cidu! The Orcs on night watch were all attacked, and the Two-legged Sheep we captured have been rescued!" An Orc guard ran back from outside and said to Cidu.

"What!" Once Cidu heard this news, his brain exploded!

"These damn Two-legged Sheep, they are just like flies! Once I find them, I will definitely chop them to pieces and cut off their heads!"

After a burst of angry cursing, Cidu asked the reporting Orc guard, "Do you think the people who raided us these few times were sent by the Inner City? The Guerrilla in the Outer City don't even have equipment. How could they kill our warriors without a sound?"

The Orc guard to the side nodded in agreement. "Lord is wise! This must be equipment cooked up by those Two-legged Sheep, capable of killing our warriors without a sound!"

"Hmm, indeed, this matter must be reported to the Priest, so that all Orc troops are alerted and this situation is not allowed to happen again! Just say that we discovered a new type of equipment of the Two-legged Sheep, capable of killing Beast Race warriors without a sound. Although we tried our best to pursue that unit of Two-legged Sheep, we still let them escape. Their number is... 200, and their equipment is extremely sophisticated!"

Cidu arranged for his own guard to contact the Priest and also taught the guard what to say.

"Understood!"

The Orc guard took a few Orc soldiers and left the camp.

"Lord Maike, we were attacked by a unit of Two-legged Sheep from the Inner City. They have sophisticated equipment, and their number is about 500! That group of Two-legged Sheep is extremely cunning; they took advantage of the night to raid the place where we store our munitions, and later they raided our camp. But when we wanted to fight them, they relied on their equipment and escaped from here."

Cidu's guard was reporting the situation in front of an Orc Priest. On Maike's ugly face, two eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the Orc guard in front of him.

"You mean to say that the Inner City sent out a unit with sophisticated equipment, raided you, and you didn't even leave behind a single hair of the enemy!?" Maike's voice gradually grew louder, his eyes staring fixedly at the Orc guard in front of him.

"Y-yes. It is absolutely true." This Orc guard broke out in a sweat, lowered his head, and said intermittently.

"Hmph!"

Maike let out a cold snort. He knew the character of his subordinates well enough; if the number was 500, then the real number should be around 300.

"Priest! A guard of Leader Kaola requests an audience!" At this moment, an Orc walked into Maike's tent and said while saluting.

"Hmm? Let him in!" Maike felt like this situation had happened before. He looked at the Cidu guard lowering his head to the side, and a burst of irritability rose in his heart.

Very quickly, an Orc guard entered the tent. He looked with some surprise at the Cidu guard lowering his head to the side, saluted, and spoke to Maike.

"Priest, our place was attacked by an Inner City unit. The number was about 600. They attacked us in the second half of last night. We successfully protected the weapons and equipment from being destroyed, but we didn't catch their people."

Once Maike heard this, he was so angry that he took the staff in his hand and struck it fiercely on the head of this Orc guard.

"Damn it, one of you says 500, the other says 600. Could it be that the elite units of the Inner City have all come out! Do you take me for a fool!"

The veins on Maike's forehead bulged slightly, his originally narrowed eyes widened, and the flesh on the side of his face twitched with anger.
