Chapter 139: The Joy of Victory

Soon, the survivors who had been locked in the camp cages all walked out, and the originally small camp became somewhat crowded.

"I have already sent people to notify Kelin and Kaxi, asking them to prepare for the reconstruction of the Outer City and the food issues for these survivors."

Xindi was filled with deep emotion, and he continued, "I originally thought we wouldn't be able to hold the Inner City. I never expected that not only would we hold the Inner City, but we would also drive all these Beast Race out! It is truly incredible."

"Humans are inherently a species skilled at creating miracles. Although the process is arduous, there will always be people who do these things."

Yingzhou looked at Xindi's deeply emotional expression and agreed with a smile.

"Captain Yingzhou, why don't you stay in the Fourth Defense Zone? Our Fourth Defense Zone is currently in a state of needing reconstruction. Returning to the Ninth Defense Zone as a soldier with your talents—wouldn't it be better to realize your ideas here in the Fourth Defense Zone?"

Xindi suddenly changed the subject, which made Yingzhou feel somewhat uncomfortable. Generally speaking, after one solves a problem, shouldn't the high-ranking officials here be afraid of one seizing power?

"Why do you say that? Do you know what my ideas are?" Yingzhou couldn't help but ask curiously.

"To be honest, since you were sent by the Ninth Defense Zone to support us, the Ninth Defense Zone never intended for you to return. Of course, they assumed that we in the Fourth Defense Zone would definitely not be able to hold out. But now it is different. You can be said to have a high status in the Fourth Defense Zone now; no one will want to send you out to die."

Seeing that Yingzhou did not react, Xindi continued.

"But if you return to the Ninth Defense Zone, the forces there are a mixed bag. You will very likely be dragged into a conspiracy and be unable to extricate yourself. By then, no matter what ideas or ambitions you have, they will be impossible to realize."

After hearing Xindi's words, Yingzhou's mouth curled up, and he said with a smile, "However, my ambition is to let humans survive the invasion of the Alien Race and to drive the Alien Race out. No matter which defense zone it is, there are ordinary civilians. If I stay in the Fourth Defense Zone, what should the ordinary civilians in other defense zones do?"

Xindi was shocked inside after hearing Yingzhou's words.

The tall and strong young man before him did not say a single word that considered his own safety. He only thought about driving out the Alien Race; he kept those ordinary civilians in his heart. How could such a person appear in reality?

Xindi re-examined the young man before him. He felt that he had not understood Yingzhou well enough before and had thought of him as being as shallow as an ordinary person.

Moreover, Yingzhou had not only said these things; what he was currently doing in the Outer City overlapped with what he had just said.

"Do you think we still have a chance to drive these Alien Race out?" Xindi asked this out of nowhere. As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them. If they could really drive the Alien Race out, how could they have almost had the Inner City breached by the Alien Race? This was an impossible thing!

"No, you are wrong!" Yingzhou's tone became exceptionally solemn. He looked straight at Xindi and said, "It is that we will definitely drive these Alien Race out! Humans will eventually trample the other Alien Race under their feet!"

In fact, Yingzhou felt that these words were already enough to shock these people. As for fighting onto the original lands of these Alien Race, that was just a thought of his own; he didn't know when he would have the opportunity to achieve this goal. If he said it out loud, it would instead make Xindi suspect that he was boasting.

"Will humans eventually trample the other Alien Race under their feet?" Xindi muttered to himself, pondering the words Yingzhou had spoken.

Fourth Defense Zone Inner City.

As the news of victory was brought back, the residents of the Inner City were also shocked by this news.

What? The Beast Race have been driven out? We don't have to worry about being caught by the Beast Race and becoming their rations anymore!

Some residents excitedly hugged the residents around them, tears of excitement streaming from their eyes, while others laughed heartily, celebrating this inspiring good news.

Everyone was immersed in an atmosphere of joy. Kelin and Kaxi looked at the happy appearance of these Inner City residents and also felt a sense of relief in their hearts. These days, they had been dealing with various matters and constantly soothing the emotions of these residents.

"I didn't expect that they would really do it." Kelin narrowed his eyes, his tone quite emotional.

"However, what we did this time does not conform to the laws of the Human Alliance. In this way, the residents of the Fourth Defense Zone will question the laws of the Human Alliance in the future. Of course, I am only worried about this situation happening; I do not regret doing this. If we hadn't done this, the Fourth Defense Zone would probably have already been occupied by the Beast Race."

Kaxi's brown eyes reflected the figures of the celebrating residents outside, his words full of worry.

"This is a problem we will have to solve later. Since we have already made this decision, we must be prepared for the consequences it brings. Before that, after Xindi returns, we are prepared to deal with those parasites." Kelin's originally somewhat kind face was now icy cold.

The Outer City survivors in the Inner City Settlement Area, upon learning that the Beast Race in the Outer City had been driven out, all knelt on the ground very devoutly, looking up and muttering something in low voices.

Although one person muttering in a low voice might be hard to hear clearly, hundreds of people muttering the same sentence together made it clearly audible to the soldier who had come to announce the good news.

"Praise the Emperor!"

"Praise the Emperor!!"

"Praise the Emperor!!!"

Watching the Outer City survivors repeatedly muttering this sentence, the soldier suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Why were these Outer City survivors muttering the same sentence so unanimously? What were they doing?

The soldier ultimately did not disturb these Outer City survivors and left the Settlement Area with quick steps.

Evening.

Yingzhou and Xindi returned to the Inner City. Watching the Inner City residents celebrating the victory with laughter and joy made the soldiers who had followed Xindi back feel a sense of pride.

"Councilor Xindi, Captain Ying, I really didn't expect that you would actually drive the Beast Race out of the Outer City, preventing our Fourth Defense Zone from being occupied by the Beast Race." Kelin greeted the two with a kind smile.

"It's nothing, it was mainly Captain Ying who played an important role on the battlefield." Xindi waved his hand and pointed at Yingzhou beside him.

"It's nothing, it was all to kill the Alien Race and rescue the Outer City survivors who were imprisoned by the Beast Race." Yingzhou also replied with a smile.

"Alright, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to the Meeting Room to chat."

Kelin invited Yingzhou and Xindi to the Inner City Meeting Room. Before leaving, Yingzhou instructed the members of his squad.

"You are free to do as you please; enjoy the atmosphere of victory."

After Yingzhou left, Zhao Jian and the others looked at the joyful atmosphere around them. The few of them looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Damn, why do I feel like this victory doesn't have much to do with us?" Ning Shen looked at the atmosphere around them and complained.

"Alright, the Captain meant well. Otherwise, on a battlefield like that, we would have become corpses long ago. If you want to be able to help the Captain in the future, then work hard to improve your own strength." Zhao Jian patted Ning Shen on the shoulder and said.

"Hahaha, it's mainly because our Captain is too monstrous." Zhu Chengnu rubbed his bald head and said with a smile.
