Chapter 249 Deep in the Valley
As for why the orcs, who are stronger, taller, and more ferocious than ordinary orcs, are called "female" orcs, Kate herself can't explain why.
Maybe this violent female orc identifies as female?
He doesn’t even have a clear self-understanding of gender, so no wonder he’s so irritable.
The deeper you go, the fewer people around Duanmuhuai.
This is not because of attrition in battle, but because the entire tunnel is like the rhizome of a plant, with more forked paths branching out as it goes downwards. An ordinary team would probably only choose a safe passage, but Duanmu
Huai didn't need to be safe and cautious. He directly dispersed his troops and asked each team to enter a branch to search and clear out any threats lurking in it.
To be honest, in Kate's opinion, this kind of initiative to disperse one's own forces is really stupid, but...she also has to admit that these steel warriors are indeed very powerful. Even if there is an ambush from the orcs, I am afraid they will not
Therefore, the number of people was reduced. Therefore, it didn't take long for the other teams around Duanmu Huai to disperse to other forks in the road, and Duan Muhuai and his group also chose a relatively wide road to continue moving forward.
"Ah...it's so boring."
Bambi lay on Duanmuhuai's body and yawned.
"It's really boring underground. It's pitch black everywhere. Bambi still wants to go and bask in the sun and take a nap."
"I think it's very interesting."
Lani raised her head and looked at the surrounding environment curiously. Anyway, this was the first time that Lani left her own world and went to other planets. Therefore, in Lani's view, even the plants and trees here
, I’m afraid they all have research value.
"But this is too boring, there is almost no chance for us to take action..."
An stretched. Since Duanmu Huai was mainly training troops this time, every time he encountered the Orcs, the Astra Militarum was the first to join the battle. Not to mention the powerful firepower of the Astra Militarum, An and the others basically didn't take any action.
Just following behind to catch fish.
"Ah, right."
At this moment, An suddenly thought of something and looked at Kate with a smile.
"Miss Kate, why don't you tell us about the beast tribe and the things in this world."
"Things of this world?"
"Yes, yes, everything is fine, just chat."
"Well………"
Looking at An's excited eyes, Kate was a little surprised, but if she looked carefully, the little girl in front of her looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. I am afraid that the Orc war had already started when she was born. In this case, she was
It’s fair to say that I don’t know much about this world………… Go?
perhaps???
"Actually, there's nothing much to say."
However, for Kate, this is not a happy memory.
"This world has been at war. It has been like this since ancient times. You have also seen that there is only one continent on this planet. All countries are on this continent. Therefore, this continent has been at war since before.
On and on, and then there was the Pendulum War, which the two sides fought for decades, and finally the security government alliance won."
At this point, Kate shrugged.
"To be honest, we don't care who is good or bad, or who is fighting for justice. For us, the four months after the Pendulum War ended were a rare peaceful time in my memory. At that time, everyone thought
The war is finally over. No matter what, we can finally leave the days where we are always threatened by air raid sirens and hail of bullets. Everyone is enjoying the hard-earned peace... Who would have thought that that would happen?
It only lasted four short months?”
Recalling the scene at that time, Kate also sighed. She was still a little girl at that time and didn't understand what peace meant. She only knew that she no longer had to hide under the desk fearfully, and she no longer had to hear the piercing sirens.
, let alone being pulled out of bed by her family members to flee in the middle of the night... For Kate, who was still a child at the time, as long as she could stay away from here and live a stable and happy life, she would be happy.
but………
"The attack of the Orcs destroyed everything, and humans were unable to defeat the Orcs. They were originally severely damaged by the Pendulum War, and the Orcs were well prepared. And before this, humans never thought that there were still people underground.
Another race is eyeing us..."
"Why do they come out at this time?"
Hearing this, An tilted her head curiously.
"Since you haven't discovered the orcs, it means they have been living underground. Why would they want to come to the surface?"
"No one knows that."
Kate shook her head. In fact, this is also a question that many people have been wondering.
"There are many rumors. Some people say that the orcs have been living underground a long time ago, but we have not discovered it. At that time, the orcs were afraid of the power of humans, so they did not dare to occupy the surface. But now they have seen humans.
They were killing each other and hurting both sides, so they felt that their opportunity had arisen, so they wanted to occupy the surface world. In the past, everyone regarded similar stories as boring chat..."
"It's not surprising. Human beings always have a lot of fantasies about things they don't understand."
Duanmuhuai answered casually while walking at the front. In fact, similar mysterious rumors existed in his original world, such as the underground empire and atmospheric creatures. Verne also wrote "Journey to the Center of the Earth", which was recorded on the surface of the earth.
There is another world below. As for the underground people, they have long been a hot topic in street stall magazines.
"Ugh... I always feel a little bit scary. When I think about there being another group of guys underground that we don't know about..."
An crossed her arms and couldn't help but shudder, while Feilin said calmly.
"But I think it's good. We can go see different scenery."
"Hey? Felin, do you want to go see it?"
"It would be better if you don't have to walk."
While speaking, Feilin stared at Duanmuhuai calmly, and the latter shook his head.
"Stop complaining. This is an underground tunnel. It'll be nice if you can walk through it."
For Duanmu Huai, it’s good if it’s not stuck inside.
"Alas-----!!!"
However, at this moment, Lorena, who was walking at the back, suddenly let out a scream.
"What's wrong? Lorena?"
Hearing Lorena's cry, everyone turned their heads to look at her. Lorena, with a pale face, stretched out her hand and pointed at a squirming black shadow behind her.
"Then, what is that?!"
"Um?"
Duanmuhuai moved the searchlight to shine in that direction, and then he saw a big bug more than three meters long slowly crawling through it behind the road where everyone was walking. It looked like a caterpillar, with its back
It's also covered with a carapace that's as hard as rock...well, it looks a bit hairy.
"careful!!"
Hearing the gunfire, Kate hurriedly rolled over, hid behind the bunker, and then shouted loudly. However, to Kate's surprise, the girls did not rush to find bunkers to avoid the gunfire as she thought.
, but still stood there... Could it be that they were frightened into silence?
But then, a scene that Kate couldn't imagine happened.
Facing those orc soldiers, Feline opened her mouth and breathed softly at them. The next moment, Kate felt a cold air passing by her. At the same time, there was nothing on the ground.
Several ice walls appeared, blocking the orc soldiers' strafing attacks.
What's going on? Where do these ice walls come from??
Before Kate could figure out what was going on, Ann took out the magic book from her waist and opened it, then stretched out her hand and waved forward. The next moment, a howling wind rose from the ground, and was immediately mixed with several beasts.
The tribal soldiers threw them towards the stalactite pillar not far away, smashing their heads into pieces.
"???"
Seeing this, Kate was stunned. She even forgot about the battle, her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
But all this was not over yet. Along with the roar, several orc soldiers suddenly jumped down from the high platform on the side, roared and rushed towards the girls. At the same time, Kate saw the man wearing a robe and dressed like
A strange magician-like Lani suddenly floated up, then she curled up in a circle, then waved forward, and then a cold full moon radiated out and hit the orc soldiers head-on.
"boom!!"
As the full moon shattered, the Orc soldiers seemed to be shaken back. Before they could recover, they saw Lani raising the staff in her hand. The next moment, countless meteors flew from the top.
It shot out and directly hit the bodies of these orc soldiers, turning them into corpses.
Am I dreaming?
The scene in front of her made Kate's mind go completely blank. She couldn't believe what she saw. However, at this moment, suddenly, a loud noise broke out.
"boom!!"
The ice wall created by Feilin was completely shattered, and then another violent female orc was seen roaring towards the girls.
not good!
The roar of the violent female orc also brought Kate back to her senses. She hurriedly raised her gun and aimed at the violent female orc and fired wildly. However, her bullets were almost useless when they hit the female orc. At this moment, Kate saw a petite, wearing
A figure in a white robe ran out from the crowd. Lorena held the holy scripture in her hand, came to the front of the violent female orc, and jumped up.
"O angry soul, in the name of God, I will purify your anger and fall into eternal sleep!"
As Lorena prayed, the holy scripture in her hand was firmly slapped on the face of the violent female orc.
The next moment, the violent female orc flew out instantly and fell heavily to the ground, no longer breathing.
"………………………………"
Seeing this, Kate was completely speechless.
Could it be that... am I dreaming?
