Chapter 85: Rune Cannon

After venting for a while, Maike calmed down and began to think of a countermeasure.

The Inner City could not have attacked two Orc Camps in one night using the same unit, so the Inner City must have dispatched more than just these two forces.

Thinking of this, the corners of Maike's mouth curled up slightly, and a smile appeared on his ugly face. "Hmph, wanting to harass us and make us exhausted from chasing those units, so that we won't attack their Inner City? Naive!"

The two Orc guards saw that the Priest was just angry, but now he had started to become happy.

The two Orcs looked at each other, and after seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, they echoed, "The Priest is wise!"

Maike said impatiently to the two Orcs, "Tell your leaders to gather the Orcs and join the force attacking the Inner City. Take the Inner City and redeem yourselves for your crimes!"

"As you command, Priest." After receiving Maike's permission, the two Orcs fled from Maike's tent as if escaping.

"Hmph, wanting to make us fall into chaos in the Outer City, unfortunately, I have guessed your thoughts. Next, I will attack the Inner City with all my might. What will you do now? The Inner City has our moles, so your equipment must be scarce, right? And you are still sending people to the Outer City? This will let you taste the fear of being dominated by the Beast Race!"

Maike muttered to himself in the tent, and immediately after, he used the Two-Legged Sheep Staff in his hand to contact Priest Mailun, who was on the front line preparing to attack the city.

"Maike, what is it?" A hoarse voice came from the staff, the tone somewhat impatient.

"Hahaha, Mailun, I have good news for you. The Inner City has dispatched several units to the Outer City to attack our camps where we keep the Two-legged Sheep. Their Inner City must be empty now. I have already transferred the strength of two camps to your side. Their camps were attacked by the Two-legged Sheep, and the losses are likely not small. I am going to let them redeem themselves for their crimes."

Maike said excitedly, pacing back and forth in the tent, as if he had already seen the scene of the Inner City being breached.

"Fine, I was originally planning to conduct a probing attack on the city in a few days. If your information is accurate, then I will increase some troops to test their current defensive level."

Upon hearing this news, Mailun's tone softened significantly.

"Hahaha, waiting for your good news!"

After cutting off contact with Mailun, Maike walked out of his tent and shouted to the Orcs in the camp, "Recently, there have been Two-legged Sheep from the Inner City attacking our Patrol Squads and camps in the Outer City. Notify the leaders of all camps to increase the number of people in the Patrol Squads to 100 and increase the guard shifts by 3 times to ensure that there will be no more such Two-legged Sheep attacking the camps."

Soon, Maike's order was passed to every camp, and the leaders in the camps immediately followed the Priest's orders, increasing the number of patrols and the number of guard shifts.

On the other side, after ending the call with Maike, Mailun looked at the 20 Rune Cannons he had prepared and looked provocatively at the steel gate under the Giant Wall in the distance.

"Hehehe, a steel gate engraved with Runes, thinking it can stop the attack of our Beast Race, ridiculous."

Giant Cedar District Guerrilla Gathering Place.

Xia Dijing and Han Li watched as 50 Catachan Warriors rescued more than 500 survivors, and listening to their conversation, it seemed they had attacked two camps where Orcs kept Humans.

"Captain Xia, why does it feel like we are not from the same world as them?"

"Captain Han, I completely agree with your view. I didn't expect that someone could really defeat Orcs without an Awakened Back Spirit!"

The two watched as that group of muscular men talked loudly together, occasionally letting out bursts of rough laughter.

If this were in the past, such a situation would absolutely never happen, but these muscular men dared to attack an Orc Camp with only 20 people last night and rescued the survivors in the camp.

They knew then that these muscular men were even more terrifying existences than those Orcs, and even if the sounds they made attracted Orcs, those Orcs would be easily dealt with by them.

Moreover, they also taught them how to fight as a Guerrilla. If they encountered an Orc Patrol Squad today, they would try the methods taught by these Catachan Warriors.

"Captain, the Orc Camp in the Giant Cedar District seems to be empty. The Orcs there have left and are heading in the direction of the Inner City."

A soldier responsible for reconnaissance outside today ran back and said to Xia Dijing.

"What? Are these Orcs going to start attacking the Inner City?" Han Li said with some surprise.

Those Catachan Warriors also heard the soldier's words, and the burly man wearing a hat said, "It doesn't matter, our Task is to harass them behind these Orcs, attack their camps, and continue to rescue the survivors captured by the Orcs."

Another burly man wearing a hat with his upper body bare said, "Our Task is to harass the Beast Race and wait for the right time to execute the next phase of the Task."

The survivors who originally heard this news were all discussing whether the Inner City would hold, but after hearing the words of this group of Catachan Warriors, they felt a wave of emotion in their hearts.

They didn't expect that under these circumstances, these tough muscular men were still thinking about saving survivors.

"Ah, hurry up and enter the next phase! I can't wait to chop off the heads of those Orcs."

"Hahaha, damn it, we must complete the Emperor's Task, just bear with it!"

A group of Catachan Warriors were still complaining, wanting to enter the next phase as soon as possible.

Fourth Defense Zone Inner City.

After receiving the intelligence sent by Xindi, Kelin and Kaxi immediately found Xindi's tent. They saw Xindi looking at a document in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, and his light blue eyes staring closely at the document.

"Xindi, what's going on? How did the Orcs even make Rune Cannons now?" Kelin said with a somewhat urgent tone.

"It should be information leaked by Orcs who infiltrated, and then made after being modified by the Orc Priest." Xindi rubbed his temples with a headache. He had a massive headache now; if he could, he really didn't want to consider so many problems, he just needed someone to tell him who to hit and how to hit them.

After a pause, Xindi spoke again, "Moreover, I don't think our Inner City gate can necessarily defend against the attacks of these cannons. They must have a high level of research on Runes, and it is somewhat difficult for the Spirit Patterns on the Inner City gate to block the Rune Cannons."

"Then is there any solution now? We can't just wait for the Orcs to break through the gate, right?" Kaxi's tone was somewhat impatient, and his voice became a few decibels higher.

"Hmph, most of the soldiers defending now have never participated in battle; they are definitely different from the warriors on the front line who fight to the death with Orcs. Moreover, we don't have much equipment left, and our ammunition is insufficient. It's hard to defend first. If you ask me, if we find a portion of the things those parasites have hidden away, we can solve the problem at hand. At the very least, when the Orcs attack the Inner City, we can still resist and not let their Rune Cannons easily blast open our gate."

Xindi looked at Kelin and Kaxi with a grave expression and added, "Only in this way can you continue to enjoy the power in your hands. If you flee the Fourth Defense Zone and go elsewhere, you will only grow old in mediocrity."
