Clever Git

The Gretchin trotted to the rear of the Orks, where there were large numbers of Gretchin and Squigs. Squigs came in many variants, and every kind of Squig was quite formidable.

The Hopper the Gretchin mentioned was the most common kind of Squig. It had red skin, with its head and body fused together without a neck. When it opened its mouth wide, it could swallow objects as large as itself. Its two hind legs were thick and powerful, giving it astonishing jumping ability, though it looked somewhat like a toad.

Gretchin often had Hoppers carry bombs in their mouths and charge into enemy ranks. Through the Hoppers' self-destruction, the Greenskins could effectively provide enormous support for their side and quickly break through the enemy's tight blockade.

"The clever Boss Clever Git is back."

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

As soon as Clever Git returned to the rear, a large group of Gretchin who had been calming the restless Squigs crowded around him, looking at Clever Git excitedly.

Once Clever Git returned to the Gretchin, he felt a wave of comfort and enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by his underlings. This was treatment he could never enjoy among the big Greenskins.

There was no safety to be had among the big Greenskins. A moment's carelessness could get him crushed under a big Greenskin's foot or tossed out as a projectile. Only among the underlings he had subdued could he enjoy such special treatment.

Though Gretchin were often bullied by the Orks, they had never considered leaving. Only by following those big Greenskins could they enjoy the thrill of battle, and only the Orks would bring Gretchin along when they fought.

This was determined by the Greenskins' innate genes. From the moment they were born, Greenskins sought out bigger, stronger Greenskins to serve as bosses. Greenskins only submitted to those stronger than themselves.

"Boyz, Boss told us to send the Hoppers into battle. Get ready, quick!"

Clever Git looked at the Gretchin surrounding him and shouted loudly.

The response was the loud roar of countless Gretchin.

Waaagh!

The Gretchin were extremely excited at being able to command the Hoppers in battle.

"Get ready, quick!"

At Clever Git's urging, the Gretchin gathered around him ran to the Hoppers they each raised and continued soothing the restless creatures. From somewhere, these Gretchin produced huge bombs and had the restless Hoppers carry them in their mouths, quietly awaiting the Greenskin boss's command.

Waaagh!

Following the Greenskin boss's furious roar, the Orks attacked the street occupied by the gang members once more. This time, the Orks were mixed with large numbers of red-skinned Hoppers and diminutive Gretchin.

The Hoppers darted nimbly through the Ork horde, racing toward the street held by the gang members. The fuses of the bombs in their mouths burned rapidly, yet the bombs did not explode halfway there.

"Defend! Defend! The monsters are attacking again!"

The gang boss commanded his men from the center of their position. Seeing those green monsters charging at the street again after less than ten minutes of rest, he was stunned.

The gang boss was deeply puzzled. Why were these green monsters so fearless of death? In the previous attacks, those green monsters had lost at least several thousand men to his subordinates, yet their morale was still so high.

A Hopper carrying a huge Greenskin-made bomb raced excitedly toward the human position. When it reached a human machine-gun emplacement, the bomb in its mouth exploded violently.

Boom!

A huge explosion rang out across the street position. One gang fire point was wiped out, and several nearby members were caught in the blast and killed.

Seeing this from a rooftop above, the Logging Gun operator hurriedly aimed his machine gun at the red Hoppers racing among the green monsters. Relying on the Logging Gun's immense destructive power, he hit one running Hopper with a bullet, shredding its head and body apart.

Boom!

The bomb in the Hopper's mouth was also struck by the bullet and exploded, killing quite a few nearby Orks with their own bomb.

"Die, monsters! You disgusting green monsters!"

The gang member operating the Logging Gun kept spraying the Orks with machine-gun fire while cursing angrily.

He had only joined the gang, which people both despised and envied, so his family could survive. Their relatively peaceful life had been shattered by the arrival of these green monsters. To keep his family alive, he had no choice but to fight desperately and stop the Ork invasion.

"Get the ammunition ready! My magazine's almost empty!"

Without turning his head, the man shouted at the loader beside him.

There were ten gang members at this high point. This man was the machine-gun operator and the squad leader, responsible for managing nine underlings.

There was one loader, three ammunition handlers, and five armed sentries responsible for protecting the man's safety.

"The ammunition is ready! We can change the magazine at any time!"

The loader beside the machine gun shouted back at the man.

Click!

The Logging Gun's magazine ran dry. The gang member responsible for feeding ammunition immediately replaced the boss's magazine with a new one, allowing the machine-gun operator to better suppress the Greenskin assault. After three seconds of silence, the Logging Gun's roar rang out across the rooftop again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A string of gunshots rang out behind the squad. Several gang members responsible for keeping watch had no time to react before they were struck by gunfire from behind and fell dead.

"What's going on?"

Hearing the gunfire from behind, the Logging Gun operator instinctively tried to turn around and check the situation. Before he could finish turning his head, a bullet shattered his skull.

"Quick, quick! Turn the big gun and attack the humies!"

Clever Git shouted at the underlings beside him.

A group of Gretchin quickly ran past the gang members' corpses to the Logging Gun, turned its muzzle, and opened fire on the positions of the other gang members.

The machine gun's rat-a-tat-tat rang out again, except this time the gang members were the targets. A large number of gang members were stunned by this sudden turn of events. For a moment, they had no idea why their companions were attacking them, and several human positions were easily destroyed.

The tightly suppressed Greenskins had been given an opportunity, and naturally, they would not let such a good chance slip away. Large numbers of Greenskins charged into the street and began massacring the humans.

"Boss is so cunning! Boss is the most Waaagh!"

Seeing that the Greenskins had broken into the street, the Gretchin gathered around Clever Git again and continuously praised him.

"Of course! I'm the smartest Ork!"

Clever Git raised his head proudly and spoke with complete confidence.

After sending the Hoppers into battle, Clever Git led a large number of Gretchin boyz around the main battlefield and secretly crept up to the high point occupied by the gang members for a sneak attack. That was why the Greenskins had so easily broken through the street held by the gang members.
