At that moment, the underground battlefield of Skullcrusher Prime had seen the defensive line formed by the Orks collapse completely.
The remaining Ork commissars also realized there was no hope of turning the situation around. Looking at their panicked, fleeing kin, they gave bitter smiles and ended their own lives with their sidearms.
They had all been personally promoted by Schwarzenegger and Boss Zack, and had been instilled with human knowledge and culture. Naturally, loyalty had been carved into their bones.
Now that the Orks had been defeated, apart from a small number of Greenskins who might escape, all the other Orks would either die or be captured by humanity.
The Ork commissars were unwilling to be taken prisoner. That would have been a disgrace to the pride of their Ork race.
Through their studies, they had heard of human commissars who would rather shatter like jade than remain whole like tile. With nowhere left to go, they too imitated the fierce resolve of those commissars of legend.
The Ork commissars' suicides threw the remaining Greenskin Orks into even greater chaos and terror.
Masses of Orks crowded before the Waaagh gate. Though the Greenskins' faster-than-light portal was spacious, it still could not transport so many Greenskins in such a short time.
There were more than a million elite Orks on this battlefield.
Especially with the mega-armored bosses and giant Squiggoth knights blocking the way, the larger Orks, Gretchin, and Snotlings behind them could only stare helplessly.
They couldn't get through. There was simply no way through.
The Orks fought desperately for their chance to flee, and the growing conflicts escalated into even more vicious internal strife.
The Orks at the back decisively pulled the triggers of their ranged weapons. Las-beams and metal rounds immediately slaughtered their own kind standing ahead
