Chapter 162: One Person, Support?

"Damn it, is the support still not here yet?"

Cai Kun looked at the Zerg that were already closing in on his side, and his heart had already gone cold.

Without the suppression of artillery fire, they would sooner or later be swallowed by the Zerg, but how could he just give up like this!

"Get ready to fight these damn Zerg! Supplies will be here soon!"

Cai Kun threw the empty rifle in his hand to the side, the muscles on his body began to swell, and a chain ball appeared in his hand.

Just at this moment, a voice came from behind Cai Kun.

"It's the supply truck! And on the truck... there is... a person?"

The originally excited voice turned into a questioning tone at the end.

Cai Kun let the soldiers in front hold off the Zerg rushing up, while he turned his head to glance at the ammunition supply truck.

He saw a burly man of outrageous stature jump down from the truck, and behind the truck were some soldiers riding horses and wearing gas masks.

"Since when did the Military District have these kinds of troops?"

Cai Kun thought in confusion for a moment, but the Zerg rushing up quickly pulled his thoughts back; he swung the chain ball in his hand, and every time, the Gray Mist would send swaths of Zerg flying.

At this moment, the sound of artillery fire rang out again on the peaks on both sides, which made Cai Kun overjoyed; the comrades on the peaks on both sides had also held out until the ammunition resupply, and everything still had hope.

Just as Cai Kun wanted to help the soldiers behind him buy time to load the artillery shells, he saw that burly man just now swinging a Greatsword that looked like a chain saw, hacking the rushing Zerg until flesh and blood flew everywhere, with green blood splattering.

"Tell your soldiers to retreat, leave this to me!"

Cai Kun could not believe his ears and was just about to ask back when he heard a burst of hoofbeats from behind. He saw those soldiers wearing gas masks holding strange Spears, assembling into formation, and charging downward along the gentle slope of the valley.

"Quick, hide on both sides of the valley! There is cavalry support behind!"

Cai Kun shouted loudly to his soldiers. After most of the soldiers reacted, they quickly broke free from the Zerg in front of them and moved to both sides, though some unlucky soldiers could not break away and were submerged by the Zerg.

Cai Kun watched that 2.7-meter-tall burly man still fighting the Zerg and shouted anxiously, "Hey, there is cavalry behind, come over quickly!"

But the burly man ignored him, only the Chainsword in his hand kept swinging, reaping the lives of the Zerg.

Just when Cai Kun thought this burly man would be knocked flying by the cavalry charging up from behind, those cavalrymen actually left a gap, exactly at the position where the burly man was.

Subsequently, those cavalrymen held their Spears and collided with the rushing Zerg; violent explosions resounded throughout the valley. The cavalry behind did not stop their charge, but charged straight in, colliding with the Zerg and exploding.

The sounds of explosions rang out in a series, but those cavalrymen seemed to have no fear, charging into the Insect Tide one after another.

"Hurry up and order the soldiers behind, fire the cannons once the shells are loaded! What are you spacing out for?" The burly man split a Zerg in two and shouted loudly at Cai Kun.

"But, those soldiers..."

"Let them fire!"

Yingzhou did not want to say much more now; if he hadn't sent his artillerymen to support one of the peaks, he would have solved it himself.

"Fire!"

Cai Kun did not hesitate anymore and immediately ordered the rear to fire. The soldiers who had just finished loading the Rune Bullets, upon receiving the order, also fired quickly, venting the anger in their hearts.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

After a series of artillery strikes, the Zerg that were about to rush up were forced back; to be precise, the Zerg in front were mostly cleared out, which also allowed Cai Kun and the others to heave a sigh of relief.

But the cavalry that had just counter-charged the Zerg were nowhere to be seen. Cai Kun was filled with respect for those cavalrymen wearing gas masks; what kind of conviction did they hold to make such an attack?

"They are true warriors, we cannot let their sacrifice be in vain! Rebuild the defense line! Do not stop the artillery fire!"

Cai Kun shouted to the soldiers in the valley. Under the cover of the artillery fire, they finally built a defense line. The defense line in the valley was now stable. Cai Kun came before this 2.7-meter-tall, sturdily built burly man, saluted him, and said, "Hello, I am the Captain of the troops defending the valley at Position No. 10 — Cai Kun."

After hearing this name, Yingzhou suppressed the urge to make a snide remark, nodded solemnly in return, and said, "Yingzhou, Captain of the combat squad of the Thirteenth Legion."

"From the Thirteenth Legion? The Thirteenth Legion sent people to support us?" Cai Kun said as he looked toward the rear, but he did not find any other reinforcements, only seeing the truck driver holding the truck door with a look of having seen a ghost on his face.

"Where is the other support?" Cai Kun asked Yingzhou after discovering there was no other support.

"Ahem, only I came this time, but the other support was sent by me to the two sides to help the troops on the mountains," Yingzhou said to Cai Kun with a light cough.

This sentence from Yingzhou left Cai Kun puzzled. You were the only one who came to support, so where did those cavalrymen come from just now? Also, weren't you the only one? What is this about the other support being sent by you to the mountains on both sides?

Although Cai Kun had many doubts in his heart, since the other party was here to support him, there was no need to get to the bottom of such matters; he would go ask that supply truck driver in a while and he would know.

Chen An originally thought that his side could no longer hold on, when he saw a group of muscle men wearing red headscarves and standing about two meters tall appear behind him. They held a strange weapon in their hands, and after firing a beam of light at those Zerg, the wound location of the hit Zerg was burned through, leaving a large hole.

And they also carried Portable Mortars, as well as Flamers.

The Flamers became a great weapon in this situation, burning the rushing Zerg into Ashes. The insect swarm soon discovered these unusual Humans, and the swarm began to launch fierce attacks on these Catachan Muscle Men. Among the Zerg, there were also some suicide bugs that would occasionally dart out from within, wanting to get close to these Catachan Muscle Men.

But the Catachan Muscle Men with Laser Guns in the rear reacted quickly and blew up these suicide bugs that darted out and were different from other creatures. Green liquid with strong corrosive properties splattered everywhere, dripping onto the ground and corroding pits into the earth.

"Damn it, I knew these bugs looked like they were poisonous!"

"Be careful! There are many of these Zerg, watch out for stumbling!"

"Hahaha! That's still better than that hellhole Catachan! For the Emperor!"

"Hahaha! For the Emperor!"

With the addition of this group of muscle men wearing red headscarves to the battlefield, although their numbers were small, the combat power they displayed was quite astonishing, forcibly maintaining the defense line that was on the verge of collapse.

A Catachan Demon wearing a hat shouted loudly to these Human Alliance soldiers, "Who is the Captain?"
