"What! You're saying Captain Xunying has been captured!" Bai E abruptly stood up in shock upon hearing the news from a group of Elf Squad members, who were reporting back while he sat with the human elders.
The authority exuded by Bai E caused fear and trepidation in those around him. The elf chosen to speak for the squad struggled to swallow before nodding in confirmation, "Yes..."
The human elders, who had been struggling to suppress their smiles as though they were more difficult to contain than a machine gun, now put on expressions full of pity, "My condolences, my deepest condolences."
"There's nothing that can be done when faced with such a strong opponent, right?"
Bai E glared coldly at the elder who had spoken, then turned to fix his gaze upon his fellow clansmen, "What exactly happened? They were just a small group of roaming orcs. Even if outmatched, Xunying shouldn't have been defeated and captured so easily. Did she become overconfident and charge alone into enemy ranks?"
"No..." The elf delivering the message revealed a hint of fear in his eyes, "It was the orc leader... he's too terrifying! He used our scout Roger, who had been sent to track the orcs, as bait. We even used a Gravity Gun in advance to clear out Captain Xunying's signal arrows, but once the effect of the Gravity Gun wore off, even she couldn't stand a chance against the orc leader. That orc should not have been part of any small roaming bands!" The vice-captain told us to come back and report, emphasizing that this group of orcs is far from the simple force mentioned in the intelligence reports."
'Gravity Gun?' The human elder, who had been enjoying the spectacle, suddenly showed a crafty glint in his eyes upon hearing this unfamiliar term.
It sounded high-tech, and if they managed to beat the Elves, maybe they could demand this technology.

The Elves had a basic understanding of human technology, but humans did not know much about elf tech. So, if they ended up winning, there wouldn't even be much to demand.
But that didn't matter. Win first, then talk!
A cold stare made the elder shiver slightly.
Looking up, he found himself facing Bai E's eyes, filled with unending rage and coldness, "Can you explain why these 'small roaming bands of orcs' possess such strength according to your intelligence?"
The elder's heart skipped a beat, sensing that the development of the situation may have been unforeseen by everyone.
Originally, the plan was for the orcs to serve as a medium of competition between both factions. Both elf and human teams were supposed to defeat them with ease, the only difference being how quickly they accomplished it.
Now, judging by the words of the elves, the scale of these roaming orcs might be far greater than what the intelligence had suggested.
Of course, he knew that the Elf Delegation's strength could not possibly be less than that of the Human Race.
The elf who had been chosen by the Elf Delegation to lead their team was unlikely to be weak, but at this moment, it was impossible for the elder to admit that their intelligence had been flawed. So his face hardened, and he let out a cold sneer.
"If you lack strength, there's no point in blaming others. If you're not strong enough, then train harder. The past is the past, and now is now."
"Very well!" Bai E scoffed angrily and turned to his clansmen, "You mentioned the vice-captain sent you to report back? Where is the vice-captain himself?"
"The vice-captain..." The messenger glanced at the human elders, "en route, we encountered the human general leading their team. Alone, he heard about our encounter with the strange orc leader and volunteered to investigate. Our vice-captain... went with him to guide the way."
"Nonsense!" Bai E's face darkened with storm clouds, and his handsome features momentarily took on a sinister cast.
"The human general also said he wanted to see what the elders decided. If the elders resolved to attack the orcs, he requested that reinforcements be sent out immediately, as they would provide guidance to the main forces flanking the orc horde. If the elders decide to retreat... they should be informed as soon as possible so he and our vice-captain can withdraw early."
"Attack!" Bai E's face was ashen with determination as he made his decision, "Any foe that has harmed our people must be punished thoroughly!"
"Yes! Attack! We must!" The elder's face nearly contorted with fervor.
The human's leading general?
Alone?
What exactly is General Bai E trying to achieve?
Without a Mecha, he dares to follow the orc horde alone. If discovered by the orc scouts...
Though slightly dimwitted, those orcs possess terrifying physical prowess. If discovered, how could he and the Elf Squad's vice-captain possibly escape?
Artificial beings will be artificial beings!
They have no adaptability in critical moments!
Why isn't the leading general firm in command rather than acting like a member of a special squad?
"Send a message to General Bai E immediately, the main forces are on their way. Tell him not to take any more risks! The orcs won't get far in this short amount of time!"
The technician promptly agreed, "Yes!"
At that moment, an elf cautiously moved closer to Bai E and whispered, "Should we consult the Prophet? Or perhaps take Yueying? With her present, our chances of success are even greater."
Regardless of whether other elves admitted it or not, Yueying was widely recognized as the pinnacle of combat strength among the elves. As for Yueying's sister, Fengling – the Prophet of the Elf Race – she represented the pinnacle of intelligence and decision-making.
