Chapter 746: One Hundred Thousand Troops
The rest of the journey was unusually calm. Not to mention the waterspouts, even the heavy rain had almost stopped. Only dark clouds still covered the sky, and there was not a trace of sunshine.
Out of boredom, Zhang Tuohai began to check the regional channel to see what was happening with those players.
Because he sold the Spirit Realm System in time, the players had night vision systems and auxiliary fire control systems, which allowed them to conduct autonomous attacks, and their shooting accuracy and attack speed were greatly improved.
As a result, a large number of players, who should have suffered heavy losses in the subsequent night raid, survived.
The casualty rate was even much lower than during previous normal sieges.
Only a few unlucky ones were surrounded and beaten by the orcs who had an absolute numerical advantage, and they ran out of ammunition and eventually died.
The remaining players were basically unharmed.
After discovering that the fire control system of the Spirit Realm system is much more efficient than their own shooting, except for a small number of extremely wary players, most of them handed over their weapon systems to the Spirit Realm system, so that they can spare more time to communicate with other players.
"There are too many orcs. They keep coming like rats. If this continues, my ammunition will be exhausted. If anyone has any, please sell some to me."
"Come on, ammunition is a scarce commodity right now, don't expect anyone to sell it to you. There's not even a supply box in this damn world, and the ammunition is running out as you fire. Don't expect anyone to sell it to you."
"I should have stockpiled more in my last world. I was a guard at an armory, but I was too timid and stole twenty boxes of rockets."
"You're lucky. At least you still have some stock. I almost used up all my reserves in the last world. I wanted to replenish them in this world, but another wave of consumption left me with only half of my stock left. I don't know if I can hold on until tomorrow."
"Why don't we all practice using cold weapons? I see those NPCs can kill orcs with cold weapons, so there's no reason why we can't."
"Use cold weapons? Don't be ridiculous. You can kill a few orcs with cold weapons. Anyway, if I meet orcs again, I will drive away. Whoever wants to fight can fight. Anyway, I won't fight."
"That's right. I still need practice to use cold weapons. I might as well use this time to figure out where to get some ammunition. The Spirit Realm system is really useful. It shoots quickly and accurately, much better than my random shooting. My current ammunition can last for another two days. Maybe after two days, the mission will be over."
Looking at the complaints from players in the regional channel, Zhang Tuohai was glad that he had replaced his main melee weapon with a rune plasma launcher. As long as he had energy left, he could keep attacking.
As for energy, he has three major energy sources: a small reactor, an elemental furnace and an energy matrix, so he has no shortage of energy at all.
It can be used forever.
If we still want to use the 1130 close-in defense gun, we will probably have to face the dilemma of ammunition shortage when facing the orcs that are like a tide.
"It seems that any material supply must be sustainable. We can't always rely on getting supplies from the outside world. There are too many variables."
Zhang Tuohai wrote down another rule in his little notebook.
At this moment, Xiao Ai suddenly said, "Commander, we have rushed out of the Shiwan Mountains and found traces of orcs."
"Where?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tuohai immediately rushed to the 3D map.
On the 3D map, the UFO has rushed out of the area of the Ten Thousand Mountains and came to a large area of hills. This area is rich in grass and water, with dense vegetation. Groups of orcs are clearing the mountains and cutting down trees.
Large tracts of trees were cut down and taken away by the orcs.
The orcs coming and going were as densely packed as ants out looking for food.
"Follow them, see where they are going, find their lair."
Looking at the numerous orcs on the ground, Zhang Tuohai felt that in front of him, if it was not the orcs' lair, it was at least an important stronghold. If he followed the lead, he might be able to find very important clues.
The flying saucer flew forward following the orc group.
We followed for more than 20 kilometers, and suddenly, a very open plain appeared in front of us.
A large number of orcs gathered on the plain. A rough count showed that there were at least 100,000 of them.
These orcs formed huge square formations and spread out on the plains.
All the orcs were holding throwing axes and javelins, and a few were holding well-made bows and arrows.
Above these orcs, there were thousands of dragon eagles flying, also arranged in formation, waiting for something.
In front of the crowd, a wyvern was circling in the sky, spitting out sparks from its mouth from time to time. A huge orc was riding on , holding a spear in his hand.
These orcs all stared straight up at the sky, and as soon as Zhang Tuohai appeared, they discovered him.
Moreover, there was not even a strange expression on the faces of those orcs, as if they were not surprised at all by Zhang Tuohai's appearance.
"roar!"
The orc riding on the wyvern roared.
He raised the javelin and throwing axe in his hands and smashed them towards Zhang Tuohai.
In an instant, Zhang Tuohai felt a darkness in front of his eyes. The dense throwing weapons almost blocked the entire space, leaving him with nowhere to retreat.
"Rush diagonally upwards."
Zhang Tuohai frowned and said decisively.
Faced with such intensive attacks, it is wishful thinking to want to dodge. The only thing you can do is to find a direction with the least number of weapons and rush forward. Staying where you are will only lead to more attacks.
The best way now is to use flexible movements to disrupt their formation and interrupt their rhythm, so that we have a chance.
"clear."
Xiao Ai decisively rushed diagonally upwards.
The plasma shield was flashing with electric light from the countless spears and flying axes.
Although the plasma shield was very strong, it had been hit by too many high-frequency attacks from rune weapons in a short period of time, resulting in a lack of energy supply and causing the plasma shield to shatter. A large number of rune weapons directly attacked the alloy armor.
In an instant, the originally extremely strong chrome alloy armor was smashed into pits and holes, like the surface of the moon.
Fortunately, those javelins and throwing axes failed to break through the outer armor of the flying saucer, and the flying saucer finally broke out of the dense weapons network and survived the first round of attacks.
However, the bad thing was that the orcs picked up the spare weapons on the ground and began to prepare for a second round of attack.
"We can't go on like this. If we let them attack freely, we will be defeated. We have to stop them."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"We will use plasma beams to attack."
Xiao Ai said.
"No, that's too slow. I have a faster way!"
Zhang Tuohai shouted.
