The Record of Orc Civilization

Chapter 159 Fury 2

"7C node is clear, squad 2 exterminator is idle!" "Move to 7B"

"7A node is clear, squad 1 exterminator is idle" "Move to 8A"

The headquarters tent was filled with frenzied reports from the Military Espionage division and orders from the Military Strategic division. Almost all the monsters in this tent were busy with something. Some saw the monitor screen displayed by the Vithaen division sylphs, some recorded the movements of the Quadruple Arachnids, some repainted the map based on the area data they just got, some moved pawns on the map indicating the movement of the entire squad in battle, and some record the number of troops, food, and weapons supplies.

Although the headquarter looks like a commotion in a traditional market, in fact everything they do is organized and based on their respective duties. Mige as the main commander in this war frowned at the movement of troops on the map.

"Like I thought..." Mige said in a small, barely audible voice.

The number of enemy troops was too much... No... rather the number of orcs was too few. Of the five exterminator squads deployed in the first phase of the battle, only two squad exterminators were idle. This means that there are only two squads capable of completing their mission targets as quickly as needed. While the other three exterminator squads are still in a state of combat and it is unknown if they can finish off their enemy before the enemy reinforcements arrive.

The two exterminator squads that are in an idle state are squads that have 2 or three orcs in them, while the exterminator squads that are fighting only have one orc inside. This means, the minimum number of orcs in an exterminator squad in order to complete their target in the allotted time is two orcs.

However, this was impossible because the number of orcs was very small. Currently, with Laya killed, Goku and Boku evolving into Asura, and with the exception of Moku, there are only 12 orcs left. Even though Mige includes only two orcs in one exterminator squad, there will be four exterminator squads that do not have orcs in them.

Although the result will make the six exterminator squads able to complete their targets in the allotted time, the other four exterminator squads will have very bad luck. Mige didn't want to underestimate the Hoddurt division because the goblins did train so hard to become stronger, they even called themselves Tortured. However, their abilities were not sufficient to replace even an orc.

If there are no orcs in an exterminator squad, it is likely that the number of victims who fall in the squad will be more than half their number. Even the possibility of the exterminator squad being slaughtered so that no one survived is not small.

As a result, Mige can only maximize two squads in each phase by including more than one orc in it. That way, even though the two exterminator squads must immediately move from one node to another, at least they can reduce the burden on other squads that will fight in the second phase.

"... 7E is clear, squad 3 exterminator is lost one finger!" reports were heard from one of the sylphs from the Military Espionage division.

Immediately following another report sounded "... 7F is clear, squad 4 exterminator is lost two fingers!"

Then the third report also sounded "... 7H is clear, squad 5 exterminator is lost one leg!"

Hearing this report all the monsters in the headquarters became silent. They took a deep breath in surprise at the report they had just heard. Then their faces lowered and sadness was reflected in their eyes.

"We at war! Don't stop doing your job! If you want to mourn do it after we decimate our enemies!" Swa's voice was loud and made the monsters grit their teeth. Holding back their sadness as they returned to their duties, the headquarters was filled with frenzy again.

Mige nodded to Swa and Swa replied the same way. He turned his attention back to the monitor screen and reported any information he found.

The code to indicate that no squad member is injured and ready to be re-launched into battle is "idle". The code to indicate that there is a squad member who is injured but not seriously is "finger" the number of fingers mentioned is the number of injured monsters, this squad just needs a little rest before being able to fight again. If a squad member is seriously injured then the code is "toe" as before the number of toes mentioned is the number of seriously injured squad members. Meanwhile, if a victim dies, the code is "hand" or "leg".

The "Hand" code indicates if the number of victims in a squad is only no more than 2 or 3 monsters with the other monsters not being seriously injured, so they ask to be withdrawn and replenish their squad members with new monsters. While the "Leg" code indicates that the squad has just almost been wiped out by their target, the number of victims killed is more than half of the squad members, and other monsters in the squad are seriously injured and need immediate help.

There is no numeric code for the "Hand" code, but there is a numeric code for the "Leg" code. "Lost 2 legs" means that the orcs in the squad were also killed. The most terrible news that headquarters did not want to hear while the battle was still in its first phase.

"squad 5 exterminator move to 8G, the Flower will come to you in 3 minutes!" Mige gave an order which the waiting sylphs quickly deliver it.

"squad 5 exterminator move to 8G!"

"Flower move to 8G, lost one leg!"

"Let's fight together in The One's Heaven!" said all the monsters within the headquarters in unison.

They took away all their sadness at the loss of a relative with the promise of meeting again in the world after death.

The "Flower" code meant the alraune who were already getting ready to immediately treat the injured monsters. They would drag the injured monsters into the ground with their flowers and then hide until the next order was given. Most likely the squad 5 exterminator must be withdrawn and rested for a while until the third phase of the battle begins.

Mige closed his eyes for a moment to pray for the monsters who died in this battle. He opened his eyes again with a more burning light, what happened to the squad 5 exterminator was his fault and he promised not to do it again.

He knew this was happening because the squad 5 exterminators faced enemies with numbers beyond their capabilities. Next he will be more careful to read enemy movements so he can place the right squad exterminator for each dangerous node.

"Be ready for the second phase! Report where the enemies gather!" he ordered very firmly.

"Enemies are still on their way, based on their moves they will most likely congregate at 8E or 8F!" report the monsters in the Military Strategic division quickly.

"7B is clear, squad 2 exterminator is idle!"

"8A node is clear, squad 1 exterminator is lost 2 fingers"

"squad 3 exterminator is idle!"

"squad 4 exterminator is idle!"

"Flower meet with squad 5 exterminator, status: save"

Mige was silent for a moment and decided what the next command would be "Move squad 2, 3, and 4 exterminator to 8E, close the door! Let the enemies gather at 8F node!"

Suddenly hearing the order all the monsters immediately did their job.

"squad 2 exterminator move to 8E node, close the door!"

"squad 3 exterminator move to 8E node, close the door! I repeat close the door!"

"squad 4 exterminator move to 8E node, close the door!"

The "close the door" code means that the squad's task is no longer to destroy the target but to keep the enemy away from the node. They had to do everything they could so that no enemies would enter the node as soon as possible.

Most likely what the leader of each squad did was to order to burn all the trees in the node. That way Quadruple Arachnids which are sensitive to smell and heat will move away from these nodes.

It wasn't long before the reports of the movements of the three squads were heard again in the headquarters.

"squad 2 exterminator is arriving at 8E node, closing the door!"

"squad 3 exterminator is arriving at 8E node, closing the door!"

"squad 4 exterminator is arriving at 8E node, closing the door!"

And a few minutes later the report came back.

"8E node is close, I repeat 8E node is close"

Hearing that Mige immediately asked "Where the enemies gather right know?"

"Enemies gather at 8F!"

"Good!" Mige smiled for the first time since the battle started, "Launch Tactical Missile 1 at 8F node!"

"Tactical Missile 1 be ready! Launch at 8F node! decimate every target there!"

"Tactical Missile 1 is launched!"

"Estimating till reaching the target...."

"Arrived at the target in 3.... 2.... 1.... Tactical Missile is arrived!"

Mige's eyes narrowed at the map which is currently at the 8F node marked with an oval stone on it "Now let's see how strong are you right now, Tactical Missile 1"
