Chapter 1815: Breakthrough (It’s so cold today after a day of snowing)

The purple scar is right in front of me.

Duanmu Huai sat on a dilapidated chair made of garbage, staring at the big crack in front of him. A melodious and cheerful melody echoed in his mind, and the orcs' shouting in unison also made him feel excited. He has been in this state of excitement since he left the planet and embarked on this WAAAAAAGH expedition. He wanted to kill something and then smash something.

He could feel the agitation and roar coming from the big crack, which made him as excited as those green-skinned orcs. During this time, Duanmu Huai had been repeating the battle. He found the leaders of those orc clans, beat them up, and then led them, promising them a grand WAAAAAAGH expedition, repeating this until now, he had assembled a large army!

"Okay, we're here!"

Duanmu Huai stood up and pointed forward with high spirits.

"That's where the crown is. I can feel that there are so many guys inside trying to stop us, but they can't stop us! We can go wherever we want! Nothing can stop us!"

"WAAAAAAGH!"

The orcs raised their hands and cheered loudly. Whatever the orc crown was, at least all the orcs could feel its existence. In the past, they would fight for the crown. But now, they just followed the big iron man and wanted to see him wear the crown.

"Smash those who stop us!"

"WAAAAAAAGH!"

"Kill those who stand in our way!"

"WAAAAAAGH!"

"What if Boss doesn't stop us?"

An orc asked curiously with his tongue sticking out, and Duanmu Huai's response was to slap it.

"Then knock them out too!"

"WAAAAAAAGH!"

"Remember, whatever you see, you destroy! No exceptions!"

"WAAAAAAAGH!"

“Now, let’s go——!”

Duanmu Huai shouted in satisfaction, watching the orc fleet heading towards the big crack under his leadership. In his memory, this big crack seemed very important? But it was not important, because two ugly and weird orcs were standing beside him, arm in arm with him. He had never seen these two orcs before, or maybe he had, after all, he felt very familiar with them at first sight, as if they were the other half of each other's soul. They were arm in arm, laughing, singing, and looking forward to a real, WAAAAGH battle.

He had a feeling that as long as he wore that crown, he would become closer to these guys.

For Duanmu Huai, he didn't hate this.

Just as the endless orc fleet rushed into the largest toilet in the galaxy, on that lonely planet, Mary also received a report that surprised her. After Duanmu Huai had problems, other people in the Inquisition immediately began to conduct various investigations and research. In the end, Alice and Medea brought them an extremely surprising conclusion.

"origin?"

"Yes."

Irisviel nodded, and then began to explain.

"In my world, there is a saying that things cannot appear out of thin air. As long as you keep tracing them, you will definitely find the cause of their origin, which we call the origin. Once there is an origin, it will remain no matter how many generations have passed, and the properties of the origin will determine people's actions. Everything has an origin."

"Uh...I don't quite understand. Can you explain it more briefly?"

"For example..."

Irisviel thought about it for a moment.

"If someone's 'origin' is 'eating', then when he awakens this origin, he will most likely not be able to control his desire to eat. He will want to eat everything, even humans and inorganic matter. If someone's origin is 'taboo', then he will be easily attracted to various 'taboo' behaviors. And if someone's origin is 'eternity', then he may not be able to tolerate those 'things that are about to end'."

"So, Miss Ai Li, you mean that Mr. Duanmu is likely to have awakened his 'origin'?"

"Yes, after I learned about this, I investigated the green-skinned orcs. According to the information about them described in the Inquisition Manual, there is a very strange thing. That is, the orcs have a power called 'I think' by the master. According to the master, the specific manifestation of this power is 'what I think is what it is'."

"It sounds somewhat similar to the basic concepts of human magic."

Naruse Mio's expression became a little complicated at this moment.

"Miss Fulilian once said that to cast magic, you must first make yourself feel that you can do it..."

"Besides, the Tribunal Manual also states..."

Irisviel flipped through the manual.

"This power will become stronger as the number of orcs increases. Therefore, based on the research of Medea and I, we suspect that it is very likely that the orcs' power of 'I think' awakened the master's 'origin'. Because Miss Alicia wrote in her post-incident report that at the beginning, the master's performance was still normal. But gradually, as the number of orcs increased, his situation began to change."

"That's right."

Alicia nodded.

"If what is written in the Inquisition Manual is correct, the orcs are a simple, rough, straight-line race with basically no brains, who like fighting and killing. Then their view of the master may also be very simple and direct, and... we cannot deny that there are indeed similarities between the orcs and the master."

At this point, Irisviel's expression was a little awkward, but everyone understood what she meant.

"So, is there any way to solve this situation?"

"Logically speaking, with the master's willpower, he should not be controlled by the Origin. So I suspect that it was the orcs' power of 'I think' that amplified the influence of the Origin on the master, causing the master to fall into the current uncontrollable state. Therefore, after discussing with Medea, the opinion is... if we destroy the orcs around the master as much as possible when we meet him, and weaken the influence of that power, maybe the master will be able to return to normal." "Perhaps we should indeed send a fleet there at that time."

After listening to Irisviel's description, Lorena sighed softly, but it was obvious that there was no regret now.

“It’s the same here.”

Mary shook her head, staring at the notebook at hand and fiddling with her pen.

"So what we have to do next is very simple. When Mr. Duanmu comes here, we will do our best to eliminate the green-skinned orcs surrounding him, and then find a way to awaken Mr. Duanmu's sanity..."

"It sounds simple, but those orcs are not easy to deal with."

Alicia spoke up.

"Another question, if the Inquisitor launches a charge, who can stop him?"

"………………………"

This question really stumped everyone present. They looked at each other, but no one had an answer. The girls present knew how strong Duanmu Huai was. And it would be even more difficult to find another person in their memory who could stop Duanmu Huai.

After all, except for Duanmu Huai, most of the people in the Tribunal are offensive and have no defense.

"I come."

However, at this moment, a petite and unexpected figure emerged.

"Miss Okis? Are you really okay?"

"of course."

Ogis looked at everyone and nodded.

"I will definitely stop the master."

"Then it's decided."

Mary gave the order decisively.

"Let Miss Ogis solve Mr. Duanmu's problem...Miao, I hope you can find a place to build defense facilities as soon as possible. Those orcs are not easy to deal with. We can't fight them in that city."

The reason was simple. No one wanted to be backstabbed by a group of Genestealers when fighting orcs. Not to mention that there were quite a few Genestealers in that city. If you really went in, it was hard to say who would come out alive.

"Okay, I'll get started right away."

Naruse Mio's love for plastering seems to go far beyond her job scope. Perhaps in Naruse Mio's eyes, it is just like a child playing with plasticine and shaping it into shapes, which is a fun game. Especially after professional training, at least she can solve most problems by herself.

"I also need to request at least one regiment of Night Guard support."

"I'm afraid it's more difficult."

An on the other side of the communication channel seemed a little embarrassed.

"You should know that all the troops have been deployed to the planetary fortress, and we don't have more Night Guards to mobilize in the short term..."

The plan against the Eye of Terror was the largest plan of the Inquisition. This war machine was already in full swing. Except for a few people like the True Wizard who were in charge of diplomatic propaganda, everyone else was involved to varying degrees. The mobilization of a large number of troops and the assembly of fleets were both extremely costly tasks.

"If we can't bring back Mr. Duanmu, then there's no need to implement the plan. No one except him knows how to start the ether phase engine."

This is true. Maria is only responsible for the assembly. Whether this thing can be actually started depends on Duanmu Huai. If he keeps dancing and WAAAAGHing with the greenskins in the universe holding axes, then no matter how much preparation others make, it will be in vain.

"I will deploy two regiments of Night Guard. What about the ordnance?"

"Prepare according to the standards for fighting orcs in the Inquisition manual. Unfortunately, we have no air superiority and cannot summon warships."

This made Mary a little worried. Summoning a fleet in the Eye of Terror was almost a suicidal act, but the supplies that could be sent through the portal were also very limited. In the end, they might only rely on the advantages of the terrain to hinder the attacks of the green-skinned orcs as much as possible, and find a way to make Duanmu Huai sober again.

"Sorry to interrupt you."

At this moment, Alicia raised her hand and showed everyone the crown in her hand.

"This thing seems to be getting a little hot."

"…………………"

Staring at the crown, everyone was silent for a moment. Before, it looked like a piece of junk picked up from a recycling station, but now it has begun to slowly emit a faint electric light.

"Looks like we need to speed up."

Mary clenched her teeth.

"I'm afraid Mr. Duanmu will arrive here soon."
