Attracting the Greenskins

Anrida looked at Gray and said, "Captain Gray, now is the time for your Space Marines to move out."

Gray replied readily, "All right. I'll arrange for someone to lure the Greenskins over."

After speaking, Gray opened the Space Marine-exclusive communications channel in his helmet and said, "Tina, take your combat squad and head for Totka City. You'll encounter a small group of Orks there. Remember, don't kill the Ork boss directly. Draw the Orks toward the base."

"Mission received. I'll depart immediately."

A pleasant female voice answered Gray.

"Watch your safety."

Gray spoke calmly.

No further reply came through Gray's communications channel.

In the Space Marine rest area behind the defensive line, every Space Marine silently maintained their weapons. The weapons receiving the most care were the Power Swords and Ripper Rifles.

A Space Marine standing 2.9 meters tall in Power Armour rose to her feet. Judging by its design, it was female Assault Terminator Armour. This Space Marine was Tina, currently the only female Space Marine and also a squad leader.

As Tina rose and headed outside, she spoke through her squad's communications channel:

"We've just received a mission from Captain Gray. Prepare to depart for Totka City."

"Yes."

Her remaining four teammates replied over the communications channel, then rose and followed Tina outside.

The other Space Marines saw Tina's squad leave the rest area but did not ask too many questions. They quietly remained in the rest area, continuing to maintain their weapons as they waited for the Orks to arrive so they could kill more Greenskins.

The five-man combat squad arrived beside their parked Anti-Gravity Speeder Bikes, mounted them, and activated the anti-gravity engines. The bikes floated a hundred meters above the ground as several engine roars rang out through the base.

Vroooom! Vroooom! Vroooom!

The bikes swiftly vanished from the base, moving at astonishing speed.

"Boss, why'd we come to a place like this? There ain't no humies and no fun."

An Ork walked out of Totka City and grumbled unhappily to the Ork boss ahead of him.

This was already the third human city this Ork force had encountered, but there were no humans in any of them. Every one was an empty city.

"I can feel there's definitely fun nearby. Keep goin' forward and we oughta run into some humies."

Hearing the complaints from his underlings, the Ork boss walking at the front could only stubbornly insist.

This small Ork force could not compare with the forces led by those powerful Ork bosses. Unable to seize any battles, they could only roam the Hive World under their boss's lead, searching everywhere for humans to fight.

"Boss, that's the third time you've said that."

A Gretchin following beside the Ork boss blurted out.

Hearing the Gretchin's words, the Ork boss immediately flew into a rage. With one kick, he sent the "brave" Gretchin beside him flying and shouted in dissatisfaction:

"If I says there's fun nearby, then there's definitely gonna be fun nearby!"

"AAAAAH!"

The Gretchin let out a miserable scream in midair. With a splat, he slammed into the city wall, dead beyond doubt.

"Hahaha!"

A burst of Orkish laughter came from behind the Ork boss. All the Ork boys mocked the Gretchin's bravery, and the Ork boss laughed as well, feeling much less frustrated.

"Keep movin', boys. There's definitely fun waitin' for us up ahead."

The Ork boss called out and continued leading his underlings forward.

Several soft whooshes rang out among the Orks as streaks of black light shot through their ranks at incredible speed.

"AAAAAH!"

After the black streaks passed through the Ork mob, wails kept ringing out. The Ork boss looked toward the source and saw dozens of Orks already sprawled dead on the ground, their bodies split in two as blood continuously flowed across the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A fierce burst of gunfire rang out in the distance, knocking large numbers of Orks to the ground.

"Ambush! Ambush!"

An Ork shouted from within the crowd, firing his Boltgun continuously toward the source of the gunfire. Holding a big gun in his left hand and a choppa in his right, he charged forward.

"WAAAAAAHG!"

The Ork boss, who had reacted swiftly, also rushed forward with his weapon in hand, roaring excitedly:

"Boys, the fun's here! Follow me!"

"WAAAAAAHG!"

The remaining Orks who had come to their senses also let out excited roars in unison. Gripping their weapons, they followed the Ork boss and began running at full speed.

"Tina, the Orks have taken the bait."

A Space Marine who was continuously firing to lure the Orks saw the massive Ork mob charging toward them and reported to Tina beside him.

"I see them. Slow the bikes down a little. Don't let the Orks lose us. Remember, don't kill the Ork boss yet."

Tina spoke calmly.

"Don't worry. We won't kill the Ork boss yet."

The Space Marine said with a smile.

Though the Ork boss was powerful, he was no different from ordinary Orks before the mighty Space Marines.

"Let's go. Lead the Orks toward the base."

Tina said as she watched the Orks rushing toward them.

The five Space Marines rode their speeder bikes ahead, with the Orks following roughly a kilometer behind. No matter how fast the Orks ran, they could not match the bikes' speed. If Tina and the others had not kept stopping and starting, the Orks would have already lost them.

"The Orks are slowing down. Should I go provoke them a little?"

A Space Marine looked at the Greenskins gradually slowing down and reported to Tina, who was riding alongside him nearby.

"Go."

Having received permission, the Space Marine twisted the throttle of his speeder bike, made a stylish U-turn, and vanished into the dim Underhive.

The Space Marine rode his speeder bike continuously through the narrow roads of the Underhive. In less than a minute, he had quietly circled behind the Orks, and not a single Greenskin noticed someone approaching from behind.

The Space Marine looked at the Orks, who were panting heavily yet still giving chase, and grinned fiercely.

He drew the Power Sword from his waist with his left hand, twisted the speeder bike's throttle with his right, and charged straight at the Orks' backs. His Power Sword lit up with a dark blue glow.

Riding his bike, the Space Marine charged swiftly into the Ork mob, repeatedly slashing with the Power Sword in his left hand. Every Ork struck by the blade was effortlessly split in two.

"AAAAAH!"

Even with the Orks' tenacious vitality, they could only lie on the ground and wail.
