Chapter 91: Food Problem
"Hmm, let their leaders come to my tent to wait for me," Mailun nodded and said to his guards.
After instructing these Priest Apprentices on some basic matters, Mailun left the camp where runes were being applied to weapons.
Before even entering the tent, Mailun heard rough conversation coming from inside.
"Ade, did you also have your camp attacked by Two-legged Sheep? Damn it, as expected, those Two-legged Sheep in the Inner City have dispatched elite troops to the Outer City; this way, our losses when attacking the Inner City will be smaller."
"Cidu, I think what you say makes sense. When we attack the Inner City, I am going to slaughter a batch of Two-legged Sheep, specifically those with strange abilities!"
Mailun walked into the tent and saw two sturdy, 2.3-meter-tall Orc leaders talking inside.
Seeing Priest Mailun walk into the tent, both Orcs stopped talking, bowed, and said to Mailun, "Greetings, Priest!"
Mailun ignored their words, sat down in his seat on his own, looked at the somewhat stiff bodies of the two Orc leaders, and said slowly, "Enough, I also know you have been very irritable because of the Two-legged Sheep these past two days. Now, according to your claims, the Inner City's defensive strength should be weak. Tomorrow, the first batch of Rune Cannon shells will be produced. At that time, take your troops and act as the vanguard to attack the Inner City. This is a good opportunity for you to atone for your crimes."
Ade and Cidu hurriedly bowed and said, "Many thanks to Priest for giving us this opportunity. We will definitely take the Inner City and offer the freshest Two-legged Sheep inside to you!"
Just then, the staff in Mailun's hand emitted a faint blue light. Mailun's expression became solemn, and his consciousness, following the faint blue light, entered a space.
Just as Mailun was wondering why the High Priest had called them to participate in this meeting, it suddenly discovered that there were only 11 faint blue light orbs left, where there should have been 12.
Mailun had already guessed in his heart what was going on; a Priest had died. Who could it be?
A calm voice came from the space, "Deji is dead, and the Orcs under its command have already withdrawn from that jungle in the Ninth Defense Zone."
"Isn't the Ninth Defense Zone fighting the Zerg? How could they have spare strength to attack the troops we deployed there?" a hoarse voice came from one of the faint blue light orbs.
"Indeed, could it be that those Two-legged Sheep in the Ninth Defense Zone have gone crazy now? They actually dare to attack our Beast Race troops; they are too bold!"
"Although Deji's strength is at the bottom among us, it is still a member of the Beast Race who became a Priest. How could it be defeated by those Two-legged Sheep so easily?"
"Hmm, that makes sense. I heard that the Two-legged Sheep in the Ninth Defense Zone are barely holding a stalemate with the Zerg on the front line, and the rear is always being infiltrated by the Zerg."
The Priests within the faint blue light orbs were all discussing this matter. The calm voice sounded again, "Regardless of how Deji died, after the Inner City of the Fourth Defense Zone is taken, go directly to the Ninth Defense Zone and let those low-level creatures feel the wrath of the Beast Race."
Mailun's consciousness spoke in the space, "As you command. We are preparing to start the attack on the Fourth Defense Zone tomorrow, and I believe we can take it down very soon."
Maike's voice also sounded at this time, "Yes, High Priest. Those Two-legged Sheep in the Inner City actually sent elite troops to attack us in the Outer City. I believe their defensive strength in the Inner City must be very weak."
The calm voice sounded, "I don't care what method you use, take the Inner City for me. Also, start picking an excellent apprentice from the Priest Apprentices in the rear to replace Deji's position. That is all. I hope I can hear your good news next time."
"As you command."
As its consciousness returned to its body, Mailun began to walk outside the tent, looking at the Giant Wall in the distance, a trace of a disdainful smile appearing at the corner of its mouth.
Fourth Defense Zone Outer City Giant Cedar District Guerrilla Gathering Place.
Under the guidance of these Catachan Warriors, these soldiers who had fought against Orcs on the battlefield quickly mastered some basic guerrilla methods.
As the number of guerrillas soared, food became a major problem for the Giant Cedar District Guerrilla.
"There is a food production factory here in the Giant Cedar District. If we go there, we might be able to find some food," Xia Dijing looked at a map of the Outer City and said to Han Li beside him.
"Hmm, and we have quite a few workers from the Outer City here. If it is confirmed that there is no major danger around, we can arrange for some workers to go there for production," Han Li suggested.
"That makes sense. We will expand the reconnaissance range on the way to the factory to ensure that Orcs will not appear here on a large scale. Moreover, I have also arranged for Tian Jian to take people to other surrounding areas to look for survivors. The Outer City is so large, there must be many survivors. We will first gather the survivors around us so that we can better survive," Xia Dijing straightened up, looked at the various survivors in the gathering place, and spoke slowly.
"Hmm, these things are also being done by those Ca... Catachan Warriors. Although they themselves may not be very good at doing these things, out of Loyalty to that Emperor, they will not refuse these things," Han Li said, looking at several Catachan Warriors who were teaching some young men guerrilla techniques in the gathering place.
"It would be better if you didn't let them hear you say that," Xia Dijing smiled and patted Han Li on the shoulder.
Soon, a reconnaissance squad sent to investigate the production factory returned to the gathering place.
"Captain, there is an Orc Search Squad near that production factory. It looks like they should be Orcs from other camps, about 120 of them," Ye Peng said to the two after returning to the gathering place.
Today they also went to check the Orc camp where they rescued the survivors and found that the Orcs there had already withdrawn, leaving only a mess and incomplete skeletons on the ground.
"Hmm, then let's prepare and wipe out that Orc Search Squad. It just so happens that we can also verify the guerrilla techniques we learned from those Catachan Warriors," Han Li nodded and said.
Soon, Han Li gathered most of the guerrilla soldiers and headed to that production factory.
Giant Cedar District food production factory.
An Orc Search Squad was rummaging through boxes and cabinets here, not letting go of any place that could hide people.
"The leader said that this factory is very likely to have Two-legged Sheep looking for food, so let us watch this place. Search carefully! That Two-legged Sheep that ran in must be hiding!"
An Orc was wearing Rune Bulletproof Armor, holding a Large Rifle in its hand, and carrying a Battle Axe on its waist.
Its name was Tuduo, and it was the Captain of this Search Squad. It had been searching for Two-legged Sheep in this vicinity and had caught quite a few these days.
"Hahaha, the leader's method is indeed brilliant. These Two-legged Sheep really will come here for food; they have quite a lot of nerve."
Tuduo watched its subordinates searching for the hiding Two-legged Sheep and laughed happily a few times.
