When Kus led his combat squad to the Orks' location, they were stunned by the sight before them.
Countless densely packed Orks had formed a massive circle, continuously surging toward a passage at its center. Fierce gunfire echoed from within the passage. Clearly, humans inside were engaged in a desperate battle with the Orks.
