Chapter 159: Yingzhou, Lend Me a Hand
"What!" Ji Bu felt that his already chaotic mind was now even more of a mess.
There are demons causing trouble from within, and the Zerg are launching a massive offensive from without; what is this all about?
"Notify all soldiers currently on leave to return to their units immediately! Also, send some new recruits to the battlefield to gain some experience; without the baptism of the battlefield, how could they ever become true soldiers?"
Ji Bu quickly issued his instructions, and the guards beside him immediately went below to relay the orders.
Looking at those survivors, Ji Bu pondered for a moment and said, "Incorporate these survivors into the Military District as well and put them through a period of training."
After issuing the orders, Ji Bu looked at Yingzhou and said to Hu Jie, who was standing to the side, "Hu Jie, lend me Yingzhou for a while. I need to send Yingzhou to the front line. You return to the Thirteenth Legion and have Nie Hao keep a close watch on that area; don't let the Alien Race find any loopholes there!"
Hu Jie glanced at Yingzhou, nodded, and said, "Alright, I will head back now."
Seeing that an emergency had arisen, Yingzhou felt a wave of relief; it was fortunate that he had stayed in the tent a little longer just now, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to recover the corpse the system had prompted him about.
Just a moment ago, while Yingzhou was listening to the exchange between Ji Bu and the two young women, the system had suddenly prompted him to recover the corpse before him.
Yingzhou wanted to ask the system for the reason, but the system did not answer. Fortunately, the recovery was just to have him place a mark on that child; after he left the tent, the child's corpse had also vanished.
"Yingzhou, I am sending you to the front line. When the time comes, I need you to interfere with the Zerg at the appropriate moment."
Ji Bu said to Yingzhou with a serious expression.
"I have no problem with that; I can go to the front line and fight the Alien Race at any time!"
"Then you should go to the Seventy-eighth Legion. There is a significant number of Zerg there. I will communicate with the Legion Commander there to grant you a certain degree of autonomy. I will arrange for someone to take you there; there happens to be a batch of military supplies being sent there, so you can just go along with them."
Seeing Yingzhou agree without hesitation, Ji Bu nodded and said.
"Yes! For Humanity!"
The Seventy-eighth Legion.
Legion Commander Jia Zhenliang looked at the map in front of him, his face gloomy, not saying a word.
Although they had been prepared for this Zerg attack, the number of Zerg attacking this time had far exceeded his expectations, and shortages of equipment and ammunition had already begun to appear.
"Commander, a message came from the Military District saying that a new batch of supplies is being transported over, and there is also a soldier from the Thirteenth Legion coming here to fight alongside us."
A man wearing Individual Combat Armor with a capable air walked into the tent. After entering, he reported the message that had just arrived from the Military District.
"Li Fan, what use is one soldier? Who gave this order! Is what we are lacking right now a soldier? We are lacking weapons, equipment, ammunition, and new recruits!"
Jia Zhenliang replied with an impatient tone.
"It was an order from Chief Ji Bu. He also told us to give this soldier a certain degree of autonomy."
Li Fan's tone was somewhat helpless as he shrugged and said.
"Chief Ji Bu's order? Is that soldier special?" Upon hearing that this was an order issued by Ji Bu, Jia Zhenliang's tone softened slightly as he asked.
"That soldier is named Yingzhou, a Captain of a combat squad in the Thirteenth Legion. The data positioning for his Back Spirit is 'Random Summoning Soldier'. His data seems not to have been updated for a while, so I don't know what his current situation is."
Hearing Li Fan state the information about this soldier named Yingzhou, Jia Zhenliang's attitude softened further.
"Nie Hao's soldier? And a combat squad Captain at that; he should have some strength. After all, most people really can't handle Nie Hao's legion, and their weapons and equipment have always been in a state of shortage. It's just that, how much use can one person be?"
"The Transport Aircraft will land at a location about 5 kilometers away from us. I'll go take people to receive the supplies first; I'll leave this place to you for now."
After Li Fan finished speaking to Jia Zhenliang, he turned and left.
Not long after Li Fan left, a messenger ran into Jia Zhenliang's tent, panting as he saluted Jia Zhenliang and said, "Commander, the ammunition at Position No. 10 is severely depleted. If there is no support or resupply, it is very likely to be overrun by the Zerg!"
Hearing this news, Jia Zhenliang looked at the location of Position No. 10 on the map. It was the foremost position of the entire defense line, located in a valley. It was easy to defend and hard to attack, and it had shared a lot of pressure for other positions. If the Zerg took that place, the pressure on the other positions would also increase.
On the Transport Aircraft.
Yingzhou thought that since he was going to the front line to fight the Zerg, he had to be prepared, so he decided to use up his four chances for a draw.
"Good luck is coming, wish me good luck..."
Yingzhou looked at the weapons, equipment, and ammunition piled up in the transport aircraft, silently singing a "draw metaphysics" song, closed his eyes, and opened the System Panel.
【Host: Yingzhou.】
【Currently owned legions: Death Korps of Krieg, Catachan Jungle Fighters, Attila Barbarian Cavalry, 5 Medical Xiunu, 1 Krieg Commissar.】
【Legion capacity limit: 618 people.】
【Summonable legion personnel: 402 Death Korps of Krieg, 100 Catachan Jungle Fighters, 110 Attila Barbarian Cavalry, 5 Medical Xiunu, 1 Krieg Commissar.】
【Chances to draw legion types: 0 times.】
【Current Faith Value: 1834.】
【Faith Legion capacity limit: 1183 people.】
【Legions summonable via Faith Value: Death Korps of Krieg, Catachan Jungle Fighters, Attila Barbarian Cavalry.】
【Personnel summonable via Faith Value: 903 Death Korps of Krieg, 135 Catachan Jungle Fighters, 145 Attila Barbarian Cavalry.】
Looking at the number of soldiers he currently possessed, Yingzhou felt a full sense of accomplishment. This could be considered a snowball effect; with the growth of Faith Value from the residents of the Fourth Defense Zone, the number of soldiers in his legion would only increase!
It was just that the Faith Value-summoned legions required consuming half the points of the summoned soldiers every time they were withdrawn, which made Yingzhou's heart ache terribly.
"System, let's do one draw first to test the waters!" After preparing himself mentally, Yingzhou said solemnly to the system.
"Consuming 1 Random Draw, Random Draw in progress..."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 45 points."
Although he had already prepared himself mentally, upon hearing that he had drawn points, Yingzhou's heart still couldn't help but twitch.
Sure enough, being a "lucky European" had nothing to do with him, and most importantly, this Random Draw had no pity system!
This was the first time Yingzhou had hoped that the Random Draw would have a pity system, even a large one would do; it couldn't possibly be more of a scam than Kelly from the Heavenly Realm, right?
