Chapter Eighty-Five: The Glory of the Blood Axe Daru
Today, on the planet Tarama, where the Imians are located at the edge of the universe, the war brought about by the armies of the other time and space is now unfolding in one-tenth of the continent at the same time.
As the first person to enter this time and space, Bloodaxe Daru, who was awarded the honorary title of "Pathfinder", was in the military tent of the command post at this time, holding a meeting with all the generals and chiefs at all levels who belonged to the vanguard wargroup of the Bloodaxe Tribe.
Sitting on the tall seat, the Blood Axe Daru was now holding his two-handed giant axe with both hands, supporting his broad jaw, and bowing forward, listening to the reports of the people below.
To the left of his seat, a young-looking, athletic orc general was speaking in the lingua franca of his own plane.
"In the past two months, our tribe has suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, but until now, it has not been replenished by personnel, I hope that Your Excellency the War Chief can show it to the upper echelons of our vanguard army."
Bloodaxe Daru, who had just been promoted to the rank of war chieftain, replied softly after listening to the young general's request.
"Ten days ago, I sent a request to the command of the advance army, but the reply was that I was asked to wait patiently for another month."
"Judging from the reply from the command, the current battle line is too long, and all warbands are facing the same problem, and at the same time, because we are in Talama proper, we only have one ally of the Imians, and all the current transmission needs are shifted to the logistics side first, and it is impossible for us to get the troops we need for the time being."
An elderly blood-sworn tribal shaman sitting in a tent interjected in a hoarse voice.
"The food supply of our time and space is already very tight, not to mention the current state of war, because of the existence of the supreme, there has not been a large-scale war for more than two hundred years."
"In the past two hundred years, the population of our time and space has swelled dramatically, and now it has completely exceeded the upper limit of what our time and space land can afford, but the supreme existence is absolutely intolerable, and large-scale wars occur in our time and space, which is also the main reason why many races have actively sent troops to participate in this invasion of other time and space."
The elderly shaman picked up the water hyacinth on his waist and continued to speak after a few sips of water.
"I think the most important thing is to first occupy a good piece of land, use it as a base, and then put down roots and slowly figure it out. We don't have to focus all our energy on the war, we first have to occupy those borderless lands, and then continue to maintain good relations with our local allies, so as to achieve the goal of integrating into the local area. ”
Bloodaxe Daru took a deep breath, and then gave his opinion on the old shaman's remarks.
"Praise our supremacy, so that our time and space can be free from war for more than 200 years, but this population problem is indeed a very serious problem, and our warriors have become less good at fighting, which is the main reason why our tribe has suffered very serious casualties."
"I think back then, we orcs were all experienced in a hundred battles and shocked many races, but now they have degenerated like this, which is very sad."
"However, I myself agree with the Great Shaman's suggestion that all troops, except for the main underground battlefield opposite us, should be on the defensive, and that the armies in all regions should be responsible for sending men to the areas occupied by the various units to explore and find out whether the soil in the occupied areas is suitable for the growth of crops, and to carry out them immediately after the meeting."
"That's all for today's regular meeting, adjournment!"
After all the people in the tent had left the tent, Daru got up from his seat, walked out of the tent, and then walked towards the entrance of the underground battlefield not far from the barracks, where all his guards waiting outside the tent silently followed behind the Blood Axe Darud.
Along the way, green-skinned red-haired orc warriors or green-skinned black-haired orc warriors were busy, some transporting the wounded to the rear, others carrying bows and arrows to the forward positions, and various equipment and stakes needed to build fortifications.
At the same time as Daru walked out of the camp, a team of 1,000 orcs also happened to line out of the camp and drove to the front line as a battle reserve.
The orc captain, who led the team, politely ordered the troops to stop advancing and let Daru go first. After nodding his gratitude to the entire thousand-man team, the Blood Axe led his guards and continued to stride in the direction of the front line.
The entrance to the underground battlefield is located 800 meters away from the gate of the large camp, and the entire entrance has been greatly enlarged by the orc engineers, and outside the entrance, barricades are set up everywhere, as well as various other fortifications.
A whole team of three thousand people, guarding the outside of this entrance, rounded the surroundings twenty-four hours a day.
If the troops that enter the underground are repulsed by accident, the three thousand troops guarding here can temporarily serve as the last line of defense to withstand the counterattack of the Zerg until reinforcements come.
Daru didn't stop at the entrance, but walked directly into the underground world from the entrance.
Daru's vision has begun to become dark since he walked underground, and although the orcs have set up lighting facilities every twenty meters, the lighting effect of the underground is still not satisfactory.
Ever since entering the ground, the ground has been littered with burnt Zerg remains, and the air is filled with a disgusting smell, but all the orcs, including Daru's, are indifferent to the unpleasant smell.
Ten minutes later, Daru and the others finally passed through the slightly crowded underground passage and came to a very large underground square, surrounded by various large and small caves, which was originally a place for the Zerg to raise larvae, but at this time it had been captured by the orcs.
In the square, there are about 10,000 orc soldiers sitting here, all waiting silently, and may give the order to attack at any time.
Daru walked past the soldiers and continued on until he reached the far edge of the square, where he came to a group of orc commanders gathered together.
"Salute!"
As one of the commanders shouted the command after spotting Daru, everyone turned to face Daru and gave a military salute, and Daru asked directly after returning the salute.
"What is the current situation of the battle ahead, and when will the offensive be launched?"
The Overseer on the front line, a tall, fleshy-faced orc, stepped forward and began to report.
"Report to the War Chief, we have charged each other with the Zerg five times, and the current position is still in our hands, but they have blocked the only passage, and it is difficult for us to break forward again."
Daru gave the Overseer a blank look.
"How hard is it? If you all gather here to chat, you can break through the other party's position? ”
When all the commanders heard Daru's words, their faces immediately turned bloody, and the atmosphere became awkward.
"Take me there."
Under Daru's orders, all the commanders present went to the front line along with Daru.
It was a small square a few hundred meters wide, with two entrances connected to the front and back, with orcs and zergs each guarding one of them.
There were hundreds of orc corpses lying in the square, and there were nearly a hundred huge Zerg corpses scattered among the dead orcs, and since both sides were using long-range attacks to exchange fire at this time, neither side could restrain their own dead people.
An orc warlock more than three meters tall was standing behind hundreds of orc archers, as well as dozens of law professionals, supervising the ongoing long-range combat operations, and behind him, there was a tall demonic creature nearly ten meters tall, closely following the warlock, the demon was wearing leather armor depicting mysterious runes, and his huge claws each held a wide and sharp broadsword.
Behind them, thousands of orc warriors were resting on both sides of the passage.
It was obvious that this was a demon sorcerer with a high status among all orc tribes, and Daru walked up behind him and greeted him kindly.
"Hello, Your Excellency the Grand Karcist."
Hearing this, the orc warlock turned his head and smiled when he realized that it was Daru.
"Hello, Warchief, have you come to the front to supervise the battle?"
"I'll come over to see how the war is going, what's going on now?"
The warlock replied, pointing to the entrance guarded by the Zerg on the opposite side.
"I guess that there should be a high-level Zerg psychic messenger on the other side, who is good at secret techniques such as mind manipulation, my demon almost suffered a loss in the battle just now, fortunately I controlled the demon's mind in time, and ordered it to retreat, otherwise, it is estimated that all the people here will be killed by the demon whose mind is out of control."
Daru frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"It's the kind of bug on our plane that has a lot of tentacles?"
"It looks pretty much the same, but it's bigger."
Daru ordered.
"Order the ranged troops to stop, this kind of painless attack can't kill a few zergs at all."
The Demon Warlock agreed.
"That's right, but there are too few ranged professionals in our Blood Oath Tribe, and I think we should train more ranged and legal professionals in the future."
Daru nodded his head in complete agreement with the Warlock's suggestion, then turned and shouted to all the soldiers present.
"I am your war chieftain Daru, I am very dissatisfied with the performance of all of you, you must know that you are, among all the orc tribes, one of the most prestigious ten elite tribes, the warrior of the blood oath tribe, our tribe has been synonymous with the strongest among the orcs since its establishment more than three thousand years ago."
"Although the supreme greatness has allowed us to live in peace for more than 200 years, this is not the reason for you to lose the tradition of the Blood Oath tribe, nor is it the reason why you have forgotten how to fight!"
"You have attacked this place for a total of three days, and you have not succeeded so far, which means that you have long lost the glory that our Blood Oath Tribe once had, I Daru is seven hundred and twenty years old this year, and I still deeply remember our previous halo years, so I will let you take a good look at how a real Blood Oath Tribe warrior fights!"
As soon as the words fell, Daru stepped forward, and with his steps, a simple horn helmet, shoulder armor with terrifying ramming horns, and a leather skirt armor with low defense, were fitted to his body, and the rest of his body was completely exposed, bare with strong muscles.
He stepped out of the exit and came to the edge of the square, followed by all the soldiers of the Blood Oath Tribe, and under their gaze, Daru unleashed his own terrifying two-handed axe, and then roared out a war cry!
"I'm fearless!"
As he spoke, Daru's huge eyes turned red, his limbs swelled, and his height instantly grew to five meters away, his skin began to turn from green to red, and he ran wildly and rushed straight to the opposite side!
Berserker's elite skill, Bloodthirsty Fury!
Before the other party could react, the furious Daru had already rushed to the opposite entrance like an angry bison, and then a huge roar sounded that shook the sky.
"Blood and glory!"
"Uva!"
