Chapter 249 Deep in the Valley


    As for why this kind of orcs, which are stronger, taller, and more ferocious than ordinary orcs, are called "female" orcs, Kate herself can''t explain why.


    ?Perhaps this violent female orc considers herself to be female?


    Even without a clear self-understanding of gender, no wonder he is so irritable.


    ?The deeper you go, the fewer people are around Duanmuhuai.


    ?This is not because of the loss of combat personnel, but because the entire tunnel is like the rhizome of a plant, with more branches branching out the further down it goes. An ordinary team would probably only choose a safe passage, but Duanmu Huai did not need to be cautious. He directly dispersed his troops and asked each team to enter a fork 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 troops 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 be affected by this. Attrition. Therefore, it didn''t take long for the other teams around Duanmuhuai to disperse to other forks in the road, and Duanmuhuai and his group also chose a relatively wide road to continue moving forward.


    “Ah... so boring.”


    Bambi lay on Duanmuhuai''s body and yawned.


    “It’s really boring to be underground, it’s pitch black everywhere, and Bambi still wants to 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 follow and fish.


    “Ah, that’s 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 in this world?”


    “Yeah, yeah, 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 okay to say that I don’t understand this world very well... Go?


    perhaps? ? ?


    “Actually, there’s not 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 vigilante coalition 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 it would last only Just four 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 beasts, 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 see 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 chatter..."


    “This is not surprising, human beings always have a lot of illusions about things they don’t understand.”


    Duanmuhuai answered casually while walking at the front. In fact, there were similar mysterious rumors in his original world, such as the underground empire and atmospheric creatures. Verne also wrote "Journey to the Center of the Earth", which recorded that there is another world under the surface of the earth. 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 that there is another group of guys we don’t know about underground…”


    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? Feilin, do you want to go and see it?”


    “It would be better if I didn’t have to walk.”


    As he spoke, Feilin stared at Duanmuhuai calmly, while the latter shook his head.


    “Stop complaining, this is an underground tunnel, it’s good to be able to walk through it.”


    For Duanmuhuai, it’s good if it’s not stuck inside.


    “Hey——!”


    ?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 saw a large insect more than three meters long crawling slowly behind the road where everyone was walking. Its appearance looks similar to a caterpillar, and its back is covered with a carapace as hard as rock...well, it looks hairy.


    ?However, although this insect looks strange, it seems to react very slowly. Even if Duanmuhuai shines a light on it, it has no reaction and continues to crawl forward slowly.


    “Ah, don’t worry, it’s a groundworm.”


    At this time, Kate also hurriedly explained.


    “Although it looks a bit weird, this bug is not a carnivore. It mainly digs holes in the ground and then swallows various minerals. Basically, it reacts very slowly and is not hostile, but..."


    After saying this, Kate looked around cautiously.


    “According to some homeless people who have been underground, wherever there are underground worms, the orcs are not far away.”


    “That’s good, it’s time for me to move around a bit.”


    ?Hearing Kate''s words, Duanmu Huai moved his body. He was a little bored after walking all the way, so it was good to play whack-a-mole to stretch his body.


    “I will also try my best to protect you all.”


    Kate also raised her gun and said, to be honest, Kate still didn''t understand why a group of steel warriors took such a group of girls deep underground, and they didn''t look like soldiers - could they be scientists and medical doctors? Bag?


    But no matter what, looking at these young ladies who are delicate and weak, unable to lift their hands or resist, Kate feels that they must not be good at fighting. Now there is only this powerful black warrior left here, although he is indeed very powerful, But after all, there is only one person. No matter what I say, I am better at fighting than these delicate young ladies.


    As he spoke, everyone had arrived at the end of the tunnel. When they turned the corner, their eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge underground cavity appeared in front of everyone. But apart from that, what is more eye-catching is the city wall blocking the underground passage in front. Judging from the patterns carved on the wall and the torches placed around it, it is obvious that this is not a city wall. Not a natural landscape underground.


    Nonsense, just look at the forts on the city wall and the patrolling orcs.


    “Then, let’s go and do some activities, and I’ll leave it to you if any fish slip through the net.”


    Seeing this scene, Duanmuhuai turned around and said something, then he clenched the war hammer, and Ogis and Bambi also jumped on his shoulders with ease. The next moment, Duanmuhuai suddenly bent his knees and roared, accompanied by Taking advantage of the airflow bursting from his jetpack, he jumped up, holding a war hammer and blasted directly at the Orc soldiers above the city wall!


    Duanmu Huai was approaching fiercely, and the orc soldiers were not blind, so they naturally saw him. So the orc soldiers who quickly controlled the fort quickly moved the muzzle of the gun and aimed at Duanmu Huai, who was in mid-air. However, before they could open fire, only Madara could be seen. Bi stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and hundreds of bats appeared out of thin air in an instant. They flapped their wings and pounced directly on the orc soldiers in front of them. The orc soldiers were caught off guard and were naturally surrounded by a swarm of bats, followed by screams. The sound fell from the high wall.


    ?At the same time, Duanmuhuai had also arrived on top of the city wall and descended from the sky.


    “Boom!”


    ??As Duanmuhuai''s thunder hammer struck down, the battle began.


    At the same time as Duanmu Huai launched the attack, the Orc soldiers also noticed the presence of other girls. Soon, they saw several fully armed Orc soldiers rushing towards them, raising their guns at the same time and pointing at the girls. They just fired.


    "careful!"


    Hearing the gunfire, Kate rolled over quickly, hid behind the bunker, and then shouted loudly. However, to Kate''s surprise, the girls did not rush to find cover to avoid the gunfire as she thought, but still stood there... Could it be that they were scared to death?


    But then, a scene that Kate could not imagine occurred.


    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 did 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 fighting, her eyes widened, and she couldn''t believe what she saw.


    But all this was not over yet. Along with the roar, several orc soldiers suddenly jumped down from the high platform on the side, roaring and rushed towards the girls. At the same time, Kate saw Lani, who was wearing a robe and dressed like a magician, suddenly floated up, then she curled up in a circle, then waved forward, and then a cold full moon radiated out, He collided head-on with the Orc soldiers.


    “Bang!”


    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 completely blank. She couldn''t believe what she saw. However, at this moment, suddenly, a loud noise broke out.


    “Bang!”


    ??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, aimed at the violent female orc and fired wildly, but her bullets were almost useless on the female orc. At this moment, Kate saw a petite figure wearing a white robe running out of the crowd. Lorena held the holy book 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.


    Are you... dreaming?
