As Noah's command was issued, eighty thousand Mechanical Legion surged towards the fungal wasteland like a silver tide.
The blue beams of the laser guns wove into a net in the twilight, precisely targeting the ork boys wielding crude weapons.
This familiar attack once again landed on the orks, who naturally reacted, as they had encountered such attacks many times in the past few days.
To feed the many people in his camp, Noah had not hesitated to plunder these orks, and many of them had been captured by Noah and turned into food.
It was precisely because of this that these orks had organized such a massive war machine.
"Rumble—"
The ground trembled violently, and the behemoth, which Noah considered a "scrap heap," suddenly extended six rusty mechanical legs, while dozens of cannon muzzles with clearly visible weld marks on its torso simultaneously glowed red.
Even more astonishing, three still-operating Imperial generators were strapped with wire to its power core—
These energy devices, which should have been incompatible, were now strangely working in concert.
"WAAAGH! Human shrimps' tin cans, taste my big boom!" A ork technician, covered in red paint, stood atop the mechanical construct, frantically pulling a joystick.
The next second, dozens of cannon shells forged from scrap metal roared out. These projectiles, which should have been unable to fly stably due to their irregular shape, instead traced perfect parabolas in the air, accurately hitting the Mechanical Legion's vanguard.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the fire of the explosions, more than thirty robots were instantly blown to pieces.
Noah's tactical panel immediately displayed the loss report—
Well, limited by materials, the combat robots made of first-grade alloy indeed had unimpressive combat power.
Alas... Noah sighed heavily, then once again directed his combat.
The robots surrounded these orks.
The laser guns continuously fired, used as heavy firepower, but all weapon attacks avoided that giant ork facility.
After all, he really wanted to study how these things moved and how they possessed such powerful might.
Although this was only his Mechanical Legion made of first-grade alloy, this combat power still surprised him.
For Noah, the scene he was witnessing was no different from a primitive man poking down his own federation's space observation station with a spear.
After the first successful hit, the orks also shouted excitedly.
"Waaahg, we succeeded!"
These ork boys, whose comrades had been continuously captured by these Mechanical Legion, were thrilled to see such heavy casualties among the Mechanical Legion, and they roared loudly.
The Orc Warboss shouted loudly at the Mechanical Legion attacking Noah.
"Lads! Let's have a joyous Waaagh!"
As his war cry fell, a large number of ork boys picked up their weapons and charged towards the Mechanical Legion.
The atmosphere on the battlefield instantly became fanatical. The ork boys, spurred by the Warboss' roars, surged towards the Mechanical Legion like a tide.
They wielded crude cleavers, rusty firearms, and even rocket launchers welded from scrap metal, letting out deafening "WAAAGH!" war cries.
Noah stood behind the battlefield, calmly observing the situation. His tactical panel constantly flashed with dynamic data of both friend and foe.
The number of orks was increasing rapidly, no longer the original 2 million.
And a large number of orks were continuously entering this battlefield from other places.
As the number of these things grew, Noah could even feel a very strange psionics appearing, protecting all the orks.
Although the Mechanical Legion's combat power was still strong, the sheer number of orks was too great, and continuing the offensive did not seem like a wise choice.
"Commander, frontline pressure is increasing. Recommend adjusting formation," a tactical analysis robot prompted.
Noah nodded and quickly issued new orders: "All units, switch to defensive formation! laser guns switch to rapid-fire mode, prioritize eliminating enemy heavy firepower units!"
The Mechanical Legion reacted immediately. The front-row robots quickly set up alloy shields, forming a steel defense line, while the back-row robots adjusted their laser guns to high-speed rapid-fire mode, dense blue beams pouring down like a storm onto the charging orks.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Explosions echoed continuously, and the ork boys at the very front were instantly torn to shreds by the power of the laser guns.
However, more orks stepped over the bodies of their comrades and continued to charge, their eyes gleaming with fanatical battle intent.
"These guys... they simply don't know fear," Noah frowned.
In addition, those orks who were knocked down by gauss rifle and lay on the ground for a while stood up again, a scene that even shocked Noah.
????
"Biological scan shows a rapid repair mechanism exists within ork bodies," a reconnaissance robot reported, "Suggest using high-temperature or energy weapons to thoroughly destroy their cellular tissue."
"Good heavens," Noah looked at the report given by his system, feeling a sense of wonder. These other creatures indeed had their unique aspects.
The reason he used gauss rifle was mainly to ensure the integrity of the food.
He didn't expect this to become an unexpected factor in these ork Orcs quickly getting up and fighting again.
The gauss rifle is a weapon used to preserve the integrity of a prey's body, characterized by high precision, high penetration, and low recoil.
The gauss rifle Noah equipped his Mechanical Legion with accelerates a needle-shaped bullet, about 4 or 3 millimeters, to maximum speed through an electromagnetic field generated by the barrel length, forming the final attack.
Due to material limitations, these gauss rifle could only accelerate to a maximum speed of 200,000 meters per second.
But that was enough. In the hunting mode of the gauss rifle, these high-speed needle-shaped projectiles could instantly tear through any enemy defense and eliminate them with minimal wounds.
This way, the integrity of the prey's body could be ensured, rather than being directly blasted into a mist of blood and rendered inedible.
Originally, Noah intended to chop up the Orcs eliminated by the gauss rifle after the battle and make them into food.
It was called being frugal where necessary and spending where necessary.
Compared to orks that vanished without a trace when hit by a laser gun, the gauss rifle clearly had a better advantage in hunting.
He didn't expect that his idea had now become a factor in those orks getting back up after being knocked down.
"Alright, in that case, have all units switch from hunting mode to attack mode."
