Chapter 18 - Stompa Time

After the Mech introduced himself the battlefield became quiet. It was so quiet that you could hear the blood dripping from the Boss`s Clobba. Boss stood on the wall and looked into the eyes of a giant knight with excitement but he was still surprised at the appearance of such a grand enemy. – Oy, da zog ar ya, an umie or wat?

- Yes, I am a human this is but an armor that I wear into battle, as I and my family are the only ones worthy of such power. We Leonidas dynasty, are the most venerable, noble, and powerful. We are the guardians of the world, slayers of dragons, eradicators of krakens. Masters of the great hunt. Paladins of true gods, bringers of eternal peace. Eternal Victors. True rulers of Mankind.

- Yeah, yeah, and I am Da Boss, boss of dis Ork WAAAGH. Less yapping, more foighting. - Boss jumped forward with his Clobba over his head, and landed on top of the knight smashing his weapon left and right.

-You disgusting monster, get off me and let me eradicate you!

-No zoging chance! – Boss started to run circles around the knight and laugh – Alrigh boyz, scram, and krump all you can! WAAAAGHHAHAHA. –Boss laughed while riding a knight.

Meanwhile in the camp panic ensued as the giant knight was clearly visible. Some boyz even started to run but they were quickly tuned into a squiggoth-snack. Mr. Nuthead ordered shooting stones at the monstrosity they all stopped mid-air and fell to the ground doing no damage.

- Boyz bring me some bigger stonez!!! Wez gonna help Boss. – Mr. Nuthead started to bark orders, but there were no stones big enough to harm the machine which became rampaging inside the walls trashing the buildings and shooting everywhere. Then an idea came to his mind. – Boyz, bring the Boss`s ride. This will help him as it is big!

Boyz reluctantly and carefully lured the squiggoth to the trebuchet and put a log that was connected to the sling inside its maw.

-Alright prepare to fire! – Mr, Nuthead aimed at the knight so the beast would fall on top of it, and pulled the trigger. His plan so great, failed, because after pulling the trigger squiggoth stayed on the ground and the one thing that got launched in the air was the trebuchet that disintegrated during flight, and now only logs were flying toward the machine.

Bass saw the logs flying and smiled as they hit the invisible shield. One even pierced the shield to half its length and stayed there flying over the knight. Boss spread his arms and roared WAAAGHHH. Then he started to hit the knight with his clobba even more.

This WAAAGH was heard in the whole fortress and surroundings, and all orkoids got fired up, including squiggoth and Mauork. Mauork became all fired up because he spilled some grease on his shirt and now it was burning along with the fuse to the powder kegs stored under the wall. Squiggoth go all fired up because he saw Boss riding another thing than him. This made him very angry, it felt like he had some nails stuck in his head but perhaps even angrier than that. Squiggoths in their normal docile state are machines of carnage and destruction, but when they get excited or angry all hope is lost for those who cross their paths. Including living beings, fellow orkoids, buildings, and sometimes even Titans.

Squiggoth charged madly toward the knight with one purpose only. To prove that Boss needs only one ride. The speed it reached allowed him to smash thru the gate(Orks were attacking from where they could see the gate, they are stupid but not that stupid) and charged at the machine.

Boss seeing this jumped down from the knight on the back of his pet. Boss pointed at the knight with his clobba and said. – Yuz are already krumped.
