Chapter 5: Evil Spirits
Compared to three days ago, they had changed so much that the hair and skin of each orc warrior had turned gray and white, as if the moonlight was shining on their bones, and their bodies were covered with all kinds of distorted words, tattoos carved in the orc language, and most notably, their eyes, which were full of death, made them no longer a miner, but a formidable warrior!
"Isaac reports to you, master! We have fulfilled the orders you gave and become true warriors! Isaac stood in front of He Ruozhi and listened to the 'chest' proudly.
"Where's your mech?" He Ruozhi asked lightly.
Isaac waved his hand back: "Brothers, let the master see our strength!" ”
With a terrifying roar, forty mining mechs draped in skeletal armor appeared over the swamp. No, it's completely out of place to call them "mining mechs" anymore! These hideous and strange mechs are full of tyranny and power in the concept of half-orcs, and even standing in front of the enemy will make the enemy tremble!
That's not forty mining mechs, not forty mechs, it's forty beasts, forty fierce beasts full of rage, thirst for killing, and thirst for freedom!
Navona swallowed a mouthful of spit - this, are these orcs going to war? Will they kill me even if they rise up?
Fortunately, although these orcs were furious, they obeyed He Ruozhi's words. Because necromancy is largely a kind of 'spirit' magic, He Ruozhi, who has the most powerful fire of life, can naturally dominate the half-orc warriors.
He Ruozhi waved his hand: "Very good, I am very satisfied with everyone's results, but remember to hide your strength in front of outsiders." These days are still hard during the day when everyone dresses up as slave miners, but at night ...... I have not forgotten my promise to lead you to revenge, and this is the best gift I can give to you! ”
The whole valley was cheered!
*****
Night falls.
Samba's mansion was filled with laughter.
Samba was dressed in a luxurious white leather coat and held a red wine glass in his hand, allowing two beautiful women to gently massage him beside him.
Samba raised his glass to the crowd at the banquet: "Let's celebrate this moment, friends!" In the past year, the business volume of our Imperial Commercial Company has tripled, and the profit has increased by 120%! Hehehehe, now all the slave industries in the entire Western Star Region are basically monopolized by us, and this is all thanks to everyone! ”
"Under the leadership of the President, we 'traded' 220,000 orc slaves last year!"
"We have also developed a new 'potion' that can shorten the growth cycle of young orc slaves by half, greatly speeding up production!"
"We designed a new type of slave ship that increased the speed of transportation by 20 percent. Although the mortality rate of slaves has also increased by 10%, it is still very cost-effective overall! ”
"Hehehe, on behalf of all the 'private' mining planet bosses in the Western Star Field, I would like to toast you, Mr. Samba!"
The banquet scene was filled with laughter and laughter.
Just as everyone raised their glasses, a powerful explosion shook the entire land.
A scene on the surveillance screen shocked everyone.
The mecha knights who were originally guarding the perimeter of the manor, along with the 'intertwined' network of automated electromagnetic defense artillery fire, and the unmanned spider-like mechanical guards lying in ambush underground, were all destroyed one by one.
Distorted gray-white 'colored' mecha appeared in the flames and smoke, and the white bones formed their terrifying figures!
"Yes, the demons of hell?"
There was such a wail in everyone's heart.
The fast-moving skeleton mecha troops didn't waste half a moment, the entire defense system had collapsed, and everyone in the hall watched as these alien mechs came to the front of the big 'gate', they raised their rugged and huge mining hammers and smashed them down!
*******
"All the leaders of the largest slave transport group in Elysium Star Heaven have been wiped out by the mysterious mecha force overnight!" The attackers, who came and went without wind, did not leave a trace at all.
The mercenary Wang Ali enjoyed the bloody steak and raw 'chicken' eggs for breakfast, while flipping through the day's electronic newspaper.
Contrary to the title of "King of Mercenaries", Ali is a short old man with a height of less than 1.70 meters, and unlike the average Spartan, who is more than 2 meters tall, Ali seems to be a natural cripple with limbs like a reed firewood.
But no one dared to challenge this thin old man in a 'flower' shirt and wooden sandals, and even if there was such a person, he had now fallen into the Yellow Spring in great pain!
"Until now, the organization and people who carried out this attack have not been found." A dark-skinned, muscular man behind Ali said, compared to Ali, he was simply a black iron tower, "When I find these people, I will immediately lead my subordinates to attack." ”
Ali waved his hand: "I want to know the identities of these people, but there is no need to attack; They shot cleanly, their tactics were very skillful, and they didn't violate any of the rules of Elysium, did they? ”
"But...... Samba is the leader of the greatest slave raider in Elysium, and his death will be a very big loss to our profits, Captain. ”
Ali laughed: "The loss caused by Samba is only temporary, without this guy, there will be more slave raiders coming in to do business, only competition can allow us to get the most profits; The reason why we are able to prosper so much is because it is a land of complete freedom. If we break the rules we set ourselves today, then no one will want to come to this bound star field in the future, understand? ”
"Ming, understood."
"Well, the eleven teams to go to Blackremains should be ready, right?"
For Ali, the fate of a small slave raider leader is not a matter worth considering, but what has happened on Black Skeleton in the last six months is truly worth worrying.
If there is really some terrifying power hidden on the Black Skeleton Star, and this power affects the other planets of Elysium, then Ali's entire power will immediately fall apart.
So he had to make a full-fledged exploration of the Black Skeleton.
As for the mission of the Dark Egg, it was entrusted to him by a mystery shopper.
It was also this mysterious customer who made a request for exploration at the beginning of the Black Skeleton earthquake, and paid a reward that even Ali couldn't refuse.
It's just that the underground of the Black Skeleton Star Temple is too treacherous, and it is difficult to complete it with the power of the Red Blood Iron Guard alone, so now I have to recruit teams from all over the world to work together. For the Red Blood Iron Guard, this is undoubtedly a very humiliating thing, but for the safety of the Bliss Star, Ali can't care about it anymore.
He is a pragmatic person, as long as he achieves his goals, he doesn't care about things like reputation and face.
"Eleven teams have been put in place, and the exact identities of five of them have been ascertained, all of which are composed of the top masters; Although the other five teams have not yet been identified, they are all knights of a considerable level, enough to participate in this exploration operation. There is only one team ......"
"Huh?"
"Well, there's only two knights on a team, and all the members are orc slaves."
"Oh?"
Ali was amazed.
Because of the innate effect limitations, it is impossible for orcs to become excellent warriors, and the strength of this team can be imagined when using this power as the main force in battle.
There is no bottom line for participation in this mission, because anyone who knows the Red Blood Iron Guard has a considerable understanding of the difficulty of the "Hell Level" mission, and even those who covet the reward of the mission will not die in vain.
I can't imagine that there really is such an idiot......
Ali groaned for a moment and said, "Let's go to the training ground where this knight order is located!" ”
Forty orcs in the arena stood and sat loosely, some of them wrestling the most popular game in the tribe, and for a moment the whole earth seemed to tremble. The red-blooded Iron Guards around them looked nervous, if it weren't for the huge electromagnetic shackles on their hands and feet, they really wouldn't be used to getting along with orcs like this.
Smelling the strong 'sassy' stench on the orcs, Ali couldn't help frowning, but soon relaxed his expression and walked quickly towards the group of big men.
Next to these orc men stood a thin figure, a normal face encased in a large pair of goggles, and next to this man stood a blonde 'woman'.
Ali stopped and looked at the 'woman' defensively.
There is a dangerous aura coming from this 'female' person, and she is a master who cannot be ignored.
He Ruozhi smiled awkwardly, originally his team wanted to only bring half-orcs, but after seeing these newborn undead warriors, Tina was very nervous, no matter how He Ruozhi explained the tragic history of half-orcs to her, it was useless.
In the end, He Ruozhi had to compromise and let Tina join his team, and let Tina take care of these orcs herself, which barely dispelled Tina's hostility.
But that's fine, because the orcs are irritable by nature, and sometimes they may not really disobey their master's orders, but the things they do are enough to make people unbearable. With Tina, a master of spatial abilities, in charge, there are a lot of misunderstandings.
"I'm He Ruozhi, the leader of the Red Roar Mercenary Regiment." He Ruozhi strode forward and said, "We are willing to act together with the Red Blood Iron Guard to participate in the excavation of the dungeon of the Black Skeleton Star Temple. ”
"Red Roar Mercenary Regiment?" Ali frowned, he had never heard of such a team of mercenaries-
