Warhammer: Empire Reboot

I'll shoot left, you shoot right.

[Retreat after three seconds.]

Lawson pulled the trigger on the Locke-type explosive gun.

"boom!"

The .75 caliber bullet accurately struck the left side of the orc boy's neck.

Green blood plasma and bone fragments sprayed in all directions.

[Initiating the underlying law purification process... Purification complete.]

[Actual Life Points Gained: 7.]

Almost at the same moment, Number 1's laser gun struck the left eye of the orc boy on the right.

The orc boy's skull is extremely thick, and a frontal assault often requires two or three shots to effectively penetrate it, but the eye socket is an exception, being the only soft spot on the entire face that is not covered by thick bone.

The two orc boys fell almost simultaneously.

"Shrimp are on top! Waaaaagh! Smash them!"

The remaining orc boys finally reacted, roared, and aimed all sorts of guns at the pipe entrance.

Lawson pressed his body back flat and retreated, and Number 1 retreated in sync.

Gunshots rang out from the spot they had just left.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Crash!!"

Immediately afterwards, that section of pipe collapsed, and metal fragments and ceramic dust filled the spot where they had just been lying.

If he had retreated 0.5 seconds later, he would be in pieces now.

Following the map markings left during exploration 1, Lawson turned right, passed through a section of pipe with a narrowing diameter, jumped down at the third fork, and landed at the second location.

Number 1 followed closely behind.

The beastmen below showed no sign of quieting down.

The loss of two of their brothers is not a reason for the Greenskins to back down.

On the contrary, the orcs' logic did not include the option of retreating. The remaining orc boys and farts charged toward the pipe entrance with a passion that no normal intelligent creature could understand.

They have no climbing tools.

That doesn't matter, the orc boy has plenty of brute force.

The largest orc boy used the two fart demons as stepping stones, dug his fingers into the corroded crevices on the outer wall of the pipe, and used the leverage to climb up.

During its climb, its feet crushed the ribs of the two butt-ass spirits below it, but that didn't matter; butt spirits were born to be stepped on.

It forced its massive body into the ventilation duct and then stepped on something that Lawson had prepared in advance.

A pipe section with more than a dozen notches. Its overall strength has been weakened to a critical point; any weight exceeding 150 kilograms stepping on it will cause it to break.

The Orc Boy weighs approximately 400 kilograms or more.

"Crack! Boom!"

The pipe section burst under the weight of the orc boy, who fell unexpectedly into the dark pipe shaft a hundred meters deep with a dull thud.

[Life Points +7]

"Chase them there!"

The sound of green-skinned stomping feet surged up again.

The second road sign-style trap is located at the right corner of the main road.

A temporary tripwire was left there, with the other end connected to a heavy steel bar whose angles had been precisely calculated using geometry, and it was suspended high above the pipe.

"Bang! Crash!"

The sound of bones breaking and the angry shouts of the green-skinned creatures blaring at each other rang out simultaneously.

[Life Points +1]

[Life Points +1]

The three farts were swept away by the steel rod and crashed into the bulkhead in various ways.

But the orc boy at the front, after bumping into the steel bar, only swayed slightly, glanced down, then pushed the steel bar aside and continued forward.

Green blood flowed from its lacerated belly. With its free hand, it casually pinched the skin at the wound, forcibly closing it, and continued walking.

Lawson witnessed this from behind cover further away, and his lips twitched slightly.

This is the real headache.

Orc boys' vitality is never a matter of low health; they're the kind of species that if you break their arm, they'll use that broken arm to smash you.

In his mind, Lawson gave the order to Number 1: "I'll attack from the front, you attack from the back."

【confirm. 】

Both men fired their guns simultaneously.

The mass reaction bomb entered through the orc boy's nose and expanded and exploded inside his skull.

This time, the green brain matter spurted out a full two meters.

[Life Points +7]

Number 1 fired the second, third, and fourth laser beams into the neck of the orc boy who was bending down to pick up a weapon. The combined thermal effect of the three beams carbonized the neck tissue, and the orc boy fell to his side.

[Life Points +7]

There were several iron lumps on the side of the passage, and No. 1 casually absorbed them into the system.

[Steel reserves +0.4 cubic meters]

Having done all that, Lawson and Number 1 turned left and walked through a relatively intact cabin corridor.

We have to hurry, or the pursuers will catch up.

However, this galaxy never lets you do things according to plan.

Just as the two were about to rush to the end of the corridor and turn a ninety-degree corner.

A piercing "Waaaagh" roar and chaotic footsteps suddenly came from around the corner!

Lawson and his companion ran into another wandering Greenskin tribe.

A dozen or so fully armed orc boys, leading a hundred swarms of ghouls, were walking towards us carrying crude spoils of war.

Enemies were approaching from the front, and pursuers were behind.

"Charge!"

With the Fang of Katachon in his right hand and the bomb gun in his left, Lawson executed a precise sidestep in a half-step, bypassing the large orc boy's frontal coverage while simultaneously pressing the muzzle of the bomb gun into the jaw of an orc boy on his left.

"boom!"

Shooting at close range and shooting at medium range are two completely different things.

At close range, the explosive impact of the bomb is released almost entirely inside the target's skull.

The orc boy's head exploded, and the remaining torso flew backward with the enormous impact, knocking down the two bastards behind him.

Lawson's body had already turned to the right due to the inertia of his sideways movement. The Fang of Katachon flipped in his right hand, severing the wrist of the orc boy who was raising his gun from the joint.

The orc boy's howl was deafening, but Lawson was no longer there.

Without stopping, Lawson stepped on the fallen orc boy's corpse with his left foot, used the momentum to leap up, and completed a short but fierce dive in the air, driving the Katachon Fang straight into the top of the large orc boy's head from above.

The knife stopped at the edge of the skull, without penetrating.

The giant orc boy's skull was thicker than he had expected.

"what!!"

The large orc boy didn't retreat at all. Instead, he suddenly raised his head, and the huge chain-toothed warhammer swept across. Lawson abandoned the Fang of Katachon and leaped backward. The thick iron pipe grazed less than three centimeters from his waist, creating a gust of wind.

The moment he landed, he changed his grip on the bomb gun and fired two shots into the large orc boy's eye socket.

"Bang! Bang!"

The first shot went wide, grazing the cheekbone and taking away half of the earlobe.

The second shot hit his eye socket.

[Life Points +7]

The large orc boy unconsciously swung his chain-toothed warhammer, smashing it into a group of panicked elves nearby, knocking down three of them.

The body fell, and the ground trembled.

Chapter 7 Slaying Through the Green Tide

Meanwhile, Number 1 cut in from the other side of Lawson, aiming his gun at the densest group of farts.

The laser beam left a series of carbonized holes in those short, green bodies. Three of the farts were pierced by the same beam and fell to the same side.

But there are plenty of fart-mongers.

The remaining dozens of bastards and the orc boy with the broken wrist rushed at Number 1 at the same time. The orc boy used the broken wrist stump to knock Number 1's gun barrel off course, and then crashed into Number 1's shoulder.

Number 1 was knocked into the side pipe support.

After he landed, the laser gun adjusted its direction and hit the orc boy.

It wasn't fatal, but it made it take a step back.

In that brief moment, Lawson stepped on the head of a lunging orc, pinned it to the ground, and pulled out the Katachon's Fang from the top of the large orc boy's head.

He casually swung the butt of his explosive gun at the face of the orc boy with the broken wrist.

The orc boy's nose broke in two, and he staggered backward. In that brief moment, Lawson thrust the blade forward, and the tip slid precisely into his throat.
