Wei School's Three Good Students

Chapter 295 Beast King's Charge
In December of the year 2108 in the Han calendar, the western campaign was still ongoing. Sandstorms rose in gusts from the ground.

Xuan Chong heard a loud "waaagh!" coming from behind the orcs. However, amidst these rising and falling "waaagh!"s, a weaker "waaagh!" was also born.

Xuan Chong had a vague feeling: "Has a new breed of orcs appeared on the northern grasslands?"

Half an hour later, the current Han ecological monitoring team confirmed that the "new force of Ouke" was being formed.

Xuan Chong then activated his torque perspective and took a look. Good heavens, although the north was bitterly cold, a batch of mushrooms had already ripened.

Liu Mei (female) appeared on Xuan Chong's screen.

Judging from her commanding tone, she seemed to be of a higher rank than me. After checking the information using the encyclopedia equipment provided by the Lin Group, I learned that she was the famous "Organic Resonance".

When a new species emerges in an area, she can "smell" traces of organic matter.

Many high-yield, improved varieties in Hannei's current agricultural sector are related to her.

Upon learning of this situation, Xuan Chong believed that she should indeed be given face. Because in this ancient era, someone with such abilities should be the "Goddess of Thick Earth" on the earthen altar.

The Dragon Warriors are a product of the mythology that has been passed down to this day.

The current high-ranking officials in Hanzhong believe that the deities of the ancient mythological period are the dragon-powered beings. Of course, they have not brought the ancient gods down from their pedestals. On the contrary, by associating "sages" with "deities," they have shown even greater reverence for "sages" and placed them in a high position during sacrificial rites.

Xuan Chong understands the culture of modern Chinese: contemporary dragon power beings are not qualified to be on par with the ancient gods simply because they have "supernatural powers" and are similar to the gods. They also need to have great merits and virtues that are remembered by the world in order to be considered gods and worthy of enjoying incense offerings.

The descendants of the Han dynasty have always tried to emulate the virtues of their ancestors.

But Tess couldn't understand it. Half of the awakened superhumans there had converted to the Church, while the other half were excessively free, believing themselves to be on par with the Greek gods.

Since the actions of the Greek gods were hardly "meritorious," but rather characterized by bullying the weak and acting arbitrarily, the fact that they could become gods naturally led some awakened individuals in contemporary Western societies to believe that they were gods as well.

Returning to the topic, this "Thick Earth" goddess now senses through her abilities that after Ork's arrival, the original organic cycle within the ecosystem has been disrupted by an "unreasonable force" that is randomly smashing and knocking things down.

The native species of Earth maintain a balance and mutual restraint to preserve stability. Humans, in particular, are like "probiotics." However, the orcs are like "malignant growth" fungi.

…Protecting our home…

In the forward operating base, a screen was unfolded, and then a projection was made onto the screen, allowing both sides to initiate a remote visual dialogue.

Xuan Chong seemed to have met a fellow traveler, and they exchanged ideas with great interest: "Can you hear the orcs roaring? I mean, that kind of up-and-down cacophony."

Liu Mei glanced at Xuan Chong and shook her head: "I can't hear it. But I can sense that they 'smell bad'."

To Xuan Chong's astonishment, Liu Mei said: "You have a 'hearing' sense of them, while I have a 'smell' sense of them. Smell is the ability to identify abnormal molecules in the environment. A large number of their organic compounds are incompatible with the local environment."

At this point, Liu Mei instructed Xuan Chong: "You must deal with these orcs as soon as possible."

Xuan Chong nodded to indicate that he understood: "Please keep in touch at all times. If there are any new changes in this group of Ork reserves, please let me know immediately."

Liu Mei's expression softened slightly, and she nodded. She had previously explained the seriousness of the matter to the other adults, but they had all dismissed it. Now, however, Xuan Chong, after listening for a few minutes, had clearly taken it to heart.

...The Taotie raged...

Between December 12th and 18th, a large number of bombing airships crossed the battle line, activated their magnetic storm equipment, and began to stealthily infiltrate the north to carry out bombing raids.

In the photos of the area the airship arrived at, the grassland was barren. All the organic matter in the soil was covered by a green mycelium, and every eight meters a two-meter-tall mushroom grew from the mycelium.

Inside the giant mushroom, a relatively symmetrical Orc is growing out. After these Orcs jump out and endure wind and rain, their green skin turns into black skin, their fangs become asymmetrical, and their eyes become (0.o) asymmetrical.

Fearing the situation, the airship pilots dropped bombs on the contaminated area where the mycelium was spreading.

However, these bombs were a drop in the ocean and could not possibly destroy so many orcs.

When the photos reached Xuan Chong, he realized that the Orks had to be defeated on land and a large army had to be sent there to eradicate them, so it was indeed necessary to act quickly.

The current war situation with the Yuezhi is at a stalemate because the Han dynasty lacks vehicles and fuel in the region, resulting in insufficient power.

Meanwhile, the Orks are using their ingenious methods to convert fuels such as coal and even vegetation into combustion dust inside the engine. After all, their "force field" is convenient, allowing them to directly "hand-rub" ordinary fuel and bring it into a powder combustion state.

Xuan Chong, who was about to contact more departments to prepare for the operation, suddenly stopped. He sensed that the largest "waaagh!" had been aimed at him recently. Xuan Chong narrowed his eyes, certain that while he was gazing into the abyss, the abyss was also gazing back at him!
Xuan Chong abandoned his plan to find the three divisions and instead thought about it for a while before communicating with Liu Yi, because Xuan Chong realized that there was another person with Liu Yi.

On the communication interface, Xuan Chong's first words to Liu Yi were: "I'm going to lose."

This question startled Liu Yi, who then asked, "What's the situation on your end?"

Xuan Chong said directly, "I'm going to fail."

Just after Liu Yi asked her questions carefully, Xuan Chong in the video suddenly made an OK gesture and then hung up the phone.

Just as Liu Yi was about to reconnect to the communication, she suddenly turned around and found that the Tiger Group's Heavenly Rank appeared behind her.

Ma Feiyan: "He's going to lose, let's get ready."

Liu Yi was slightly taken aback but did not refute, because time-space ability users were like mystical prophets. Clearly, they had discovered future changes on the front lines.

But Liu Yi paused, presumably because this was the reason for Xuan Chong's sudden actions, and then asked Ma Feiyan, "You went to see him?"

Ma Feiyan: "No, it was him who came looking for me."

Liu Yi realized: "He can connect with you?"

Ma Feiyan didn't give any further reply, but simply disappeared.

…See you again…

Xuan Chong breathed a sigh of relief; he was taking a risk. Fortunately, he had confirmed that the first character summoned by the novel "The Fierce Soldier" was very powerful and willing to cooperate with him.

In classical military campaigns, all the ingenious tactics of military strategists are based on the concept of "spy." Without "spy," there's no point in employing so many fancy tricks.

In modern times, the battle for information, from deciphering telegrams to electronic warfare, has been fierce and intense!

Given the unique circumstances of the orcs, Xuan Chong believes that their communication, centered on themselves, is being closely monitored by the other side.

The Oukes were able to "think out" about the Han army's "organized" actions related to the war in a way that kept pace with the times.

Xuan Chong, listening to the loudest "waaagh!", seemed utterly bewildered by his own ambiguous communication with the outside world. He was also somewhat exasperated.

"Hahaha!" Xuan Chong grinned foolishly in the concrete basement, leaving his guards completely baffled.

It seems that Xuan Chong's reaction has humiliated Oak. Oak's leader wanted a satisfying battle and was quite dissatisfied with the behavior of the little rascal.

About three hours later, the Orc army arrived. Xuan Chong could hear the loud and soft shouts of "waaagh!" coming straight at him.

However, Xuan Chong found the Han army commander and handed over command.

The third-rank military officer (division commander) paused, as if to say, "At this crucial moment, are you trying to shirk responsibility and run away?" But then, after Xuan Chong's frank nod in agreement, the General of the Expedition gave Xuan Chong a deep look, as if to say, "Take care of yourself."

Then the general took full control. The various units within the army began to follow the orders issued by his command center, defending the front lines and initiating coordinated battle and firepower tactics.

Lu Changfeng: "Sir, shall we retreat?"

Xuan Chong: "Withdraw? Withdraw my foot!"

Xuan Chong instructed him to retrieve some artillery shells from the back, and then took out a map and had him place it around the battlefield.

Xuan Chong now senses that the "waaagh!" on the other side seems to have had to focus their attention on the other General Zheng Yi, and their attention to their own side has decreased.

...Only by hiding can we move...

In the new round of fighting in the Gobi Desert, the noise was like that of countless iron barrels being dragged on the main road, echoing across the open land.

Local wolves and other wild animals were terrified and fled far away from the area.

The orc-modified motorcycles, which were "hard to describe," began their methodical assault. These motorcycles were made of welded sheet metal of varying degrees of rust and powered by gas cylinders.

In this wild land where camel carts were the norm and steam trains were few and far between, there were hardly any main lines.

These "junk" gadgets are really too advanced. It's like a desert tribe government that used to ride camels in Xuan Chong's previous life suddenly pulling out a batch of hypersonic missiles. They didn't have a proper automobile industry, but they were able to use civilian cars modified into transport vehicles to carry the missiles.

Upon seeing this thing, the technician couldn't help but exclaim, "This is fucking ridiculous!"

The orcs had a higher rate of mechanization than the Han army, so much so that Xuan Chong immediately suspected that an external force was beginning to assist them. For example, the European banners, which were now strategic rivals of the Han.

However, upon seeing that the orc fuel canisters were made of "metal oil drums" reinforced with ribs, and that the motorcycle wheels were horse wheels wrapped in rubber, Xuan Chong gritted his teeth and realized just how utterly shameless the use of "waggh superpowers" was.

Because legitimate aid from industrialized countries wouldn't involve so many unreliable things.

This is like in a past life, it's easy to get Cthulhu to provide a million electric fans to foreign countries, but it's very difficult to send out 100,000 handmade, rubber-band-powered windmills. Because who would be so bored as to hire tens of thousands of people to manufacture such junk?

Of course, with the orcs' superpowers being so limitless, Xuan Chong was certain he didn't need to worry about anything anymore. "Yellow Heaven and Thick Earth" (the Heavenly Dao) wouldn't impose any restrictions on his use of superpowers.

In the northeast direction of Yibo Sea, Xuan Chong's gaze gradually pinpointed the location of the orc leader. A dozen kilometers away, in the place with the most intense black smoke and the area with the most broken machinery, the orc leader was keeping a close watch.

…the madness beneath the roaring yellow sand…

The beast leader, "Kaodike," relies on instinct to find the most effective point of attack. Oh, this name was given by Xuan Chong, taken from a famous orc villain in his previous life's game.

Kao Di Ke scratched his head with his fingernail: At this moment, the shrimps fighting against him on the front lines were running around frantically on various positions, but why did that most "waaagh!" guy on the other side suddenly stop joining the fight?

A look of confusion appeared on the ferocious face of this large creature.

But then it commanded its minions to charge towards the weak points of the human position! After pondering for a moment, counting on its six fingers on the left and eight on the right, it gave the minions orders, "You go this way!" "Copper Fang, you go that way!"

These orders sounded like orders to arrange a brawl, but in reality, the 30,000 black orcs were precisely divided into large battalions of a thousand men each, which moved toward the position, and within each battalion, multiple tactical squads were flexibly separated.

Such a tactical deployment, with orders being transmitted so smoothly between the upper and lower levels without any radio communication, is truly astonishing!
On the front lines, the Orks began to surge forward with more flexible and ferocious tactics. The Han army's machine guns fired continuously, but they could not stop these Orks from advancing wave after wave. Several positions were lost under the repeated assaults of the Orks.

Only by occasionally bombarding and taking down one of the larger orcs will the orc ranks be thrown into disarray.

…The Han army took a sharp turn for the worse…

Across the battlefield engulfed in gunfire, Xuan Chong listened to the surging "waaagh!" sound, like the ocean waves. He began to sketch based on the "volume," essentially using his "pencil case" to analyze the frequency and then performing a series of calculations.

Xuan Chong used the sand table in front of him to replicate the locations of the various orc groups, large and small.

Xuan Chong used polished blocks of quartz sand to represent the orcs' movements. The sand vibrated continuously, and each "vibration" was the orc's "waaagh!" sound.

A lieutenant general who had retreated from the front lines saw Xuan Chong in a safe zone behind the position and asked him in a loud voice hoarse from the artillery fire, "Didn't you leave? Why are you still here?"

However, when he glanced at the map in front of Xuan Chong, he was suddenly dumbfounded. Having just come from the front line, he knew the orcs' deployment situation, but on the map in front of Xuan Chong, the jumping sand was constantly moving forward, which was the orcs' attack.

If Xuan Chong's clear and intuitive real-time strategic image had appeared on the front lines, countless lives could have been saved.

The adjutant's gaze was interrupted by the sound of cannon fire. He looked up from the table and stared at Xuan Chong: "You, this?!"

He wanted to find out whether the real-time battle map that Xuan Chong was drawing was actually real.
Xuan Chong did not answer, but in the eyes of this adjutant, Xuan Chong's silence was tantamount to acquiescence.

So he grabbed Xuan Chong and tried to get him to go to the command post, but Xuan Chong stopped him and shook his head, indicating that he could not go to the command post.

The soldier stared at Xuan Chong, his voice filled with grief and indignation, and said, "Our brothers are falling one by one in front of us. You clearly knew the distribution of the wild animals, so why did you hide them?"

Lu Changfeng and the others stood guard, guns at the ready, protecting Xuan Chong. Xuan Chong told the men beside him to put down their guns and slowly said, "We're keeping this thing out of the command post to help you! Because I can see the other side, but what about them?"

To the general's utter bewilderment, Xuan Chong patted him and said, "I won't leave."

…Victory or defeat lies in the calculations…

After seeing off his subordinate, Xuan Chong continued to use numbers to mark the battlefield situation, pinpointing each enemy leadership group in greater detail. The Orks had already revealed most of their superpowers, while Xuan Chong hadn't used any yet.

While the current military organizational structure of the orcs is not entirely accurate, its mathematical probability distribution is roughly similar to that of the modern Han dynasty, with divisions, regiments, battalions, and so on.

Orcs don't currently have the "radio communication" of humans at each level. However, between the leader and his underlings, the "waaagh!" field is a mechanism no less effective than radio. That's right, the "waaagh!" field can serve as a flexible tool hand to create tools, and it can also be used for "gesture" communication on the battlefield.

Their communication can even span seven or eight hundred meters, almost half of a noisy battlefield, to exchange messages like, "You help me charge and provide cover, draw fire, and after it's done, I'll give you a tooth."

Note: In theory, anyone can trade teeth with the Orks, as long as they can bear the method of the trade, which is that the one who receives the teeth punches the one who gives them the teeth to knock off the teeth as payment.

That is, after the Kaodi Ke roared, the secondary "war leaders" in the Ork group could hear their leader's meaning even if they were dozens of kilometers away. Then these war leaders would roar again at their fighting teams, and the big guys below them would also understand the meaning.

By using this method of "gestures," the orcs managed to make their large-scale raids as coordinated as regular military operations.

Each orc's group relationship is like a bandit gang in human society. The bandit leader maintains control through the most violent threats.

However, human "bandit gangs" are limited by the leader's intimidation and cannot reach the lower levels, ultimately limiting them to no more than thirty people. Teams with more than thirty people need to establish a management charter.

But the orcs could expand this "bandit gang" without limit. Those speeding orcs, smashing metal plates and horns, pushed their "disorderly" organization to the maximum.

Just as Xuan Chong was making his final calculations, the outermost layer of the Han army's position was completely breached.

Accompanying this was the bombardment of massive, coal- and oxygen-fueled guided bombs, which were dropped on the human positions.

After the troops in the Han area quickly withdrew, artillery fire from the rear began to cover them.

Lu Changfeng clenched his fists, which were encased in the mecha, and just as he was about to persuade him, Xuan Chong put away the blueprints: "We will withdraw to the second line of defense and let our rear guard (Lin Group) prepare."
