Chapter 164: Reconnaissance Task

Very quickly, the Zerg side discovered that No. 10 Camp, which had been in a precarious situation, had now recovered the firepower it had at the beginning, and was even stronger.

This caused the Dominator Bug controlling the swarm to tilt its head, which was filled with mucus and tentacles, feeling very puzzled by this situation. "They clearly already knew that place was about to be breached, so why would reinforcements arrive? This does not match past Human behavior." (Zerg communication language)

"It seems I have no choice but to withdraw all the children currently attacking. This annoying terrain has allowed the Humans to hold out here for so long. I had thought that by sending a large number of troops this time, I could take this place, and then I could ask Mother God for samples of more children. I wonder how the other sisters are progressing; I truly envy them for not having such a tough position to crack, but they do not have the new children Mother God gave, only I do!"

This Dominator Bug was about 3 meters long, its black-purple skin covered in a great deal of mucus, and the tentacles on its head swaying back and forth. After sending the retreat order to its children, this Dominator Bug moved amidst the surrounding Guardian Bugs, which were 5 to 6 meters in size, possessed hard, spiked shells, and extended dense, numerous insect legs to move. These Guardian Bugs, which protected the Dominator Bug, had extremely high defensive power and their offensive power was not weak either, though their movements were somewhat slow.

Escorted by these nearly two hundred Guardian Bugs, this Dominator Bug returned to the Hatchery where it hatched its children.

"The newly joined children are still being produced in large quantities. With their help, this position will become my next Hatchery. By the way, I don't think I have used those Human husks Mother God bestowed upon me yet. I wonder what will happen if I implant those husks into my children? Mother God doing this must have Mother God's reasons!"

In this Hatchery specifically used for producing Zerg, this Dominator Bug connected the tentacles on the top of its head to the flesh wall of the Hatchery. The entire Hatchery became as if it were alive, its production speed became faster, and every Zerg was doing its own work in an orderly fashion within the Hatchery.

Position No. 10.

Yingzhou watched the Zerg swarm retreating like a receding tide, feeling puzzled in his heart. He turned his head to ask Cai Kun, who was standing to the side commanding the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and consolidate the position, "Why have these Zerg retreated?"

"It should be that their Dominator felt our firepower here has become fierce again, which is why they retreated temporarily. If they keep charging like this, they won't be able to take it either." Seeing this burly man who was about 2.7 meters tall ask him, Cai Kun immediately replied.

After hearing Cai Kun's answer, Yingzhou thought for a few seconds and then asked, "Have you never sent anyone to scout the situation there?"

Cai Kun wore a bitter expression and said helplessly, "We have sent people to scout, but what use is it? Even if the Hatchery were right in front of us, it would be very difficult for us to destroy it, because a Hatchery with a Dominator Bug and a Hatchery without a Dominator Bug are two different existences."

Hearing Cai Kun's words, Yingzhou recalled the Hatchery he and his big brother had destroyed before; that must have been a Hatchery without a Dominator Bug. Thinking of this, Yingzhou asked, "Then what is a Hatchery with a Dominator Bug like?"

"I am not clear on this either. No one has tried to enter a Hatchery where a Dominator Bug is present, because that is no different from throwing one's life away. The Zerg that attacked us this time should be from a Hatchery about 34 kilometers away from us. When we sent people to check on Hatcheries with Dominator Bugs before, we found that the Zerg inside were all doing their own work in an orderly fashion, without chaos, just as if someone were controlling them."

Cai Kun told Yingzhou everything he knew. Seeing Yingzhou pondering something, he asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Oh, I am going to send a unit outside to conduct reconnaissance, scout all the Alien Race in the surrounding area, and continue to advance deep into the Alien Race's territory. When the Alien Race attacks us here next time, they will go to scout near the Hatchery and attempt to raid the location where the Dominator Bug is."

Upon hearing Yingzhou's words, Cai Kun looked at Yingzhou in confusion, "Didn't you say that you were the only one who came to support Position No. 10? Where are you going to find a reconnaissance unit?"

Yingzhou smiled and said to Cai Kun, "I have my own ways."

Yingzhou walked out of the position here at Cai Kun's, and under the gaze of Cai Kun and the people around, Yingzhou summoned the Attila Barbarian Cavalry he had newly drawn.

But before Yingzhou even saw the Attila Barbarian Cavalry appear, he smelled a foul odor. Yingzhou rubbed his nose, his brows slightly furrowed but quickly relaxing, because a group of men dressed in the attire of the northern nomadic peoples from his past life appeared before him riding horses.

Their skin was dark, they wore felt hats, braids were combed from the hair peeking out from under the brims of their hats, and they wore nomadic sheepskin robes. They also had some Hand Grenades slung diagonally across their bodies, and the Hunting Spear in their hands gave one a retro feeling, but those who had witnessed its power would never think so.

After all these Attila Barbarian Cavalry were summoned, the pungent odor reached Cai Kun not far away. Cai Kun rubbed his nose and muttered to himself, "Strange? Where is this stench coming from?"

A Human Alliance soldier beside him said to Cai Kun, "Captain, it seems to be the smell emanating from the soldiers summoned by the captain who came to support us."

Cai Kun could not help but take a few steps back, continuing to observe the situation at Yingzhou's side.

Upon seeing Yingzhou, these Attila Barbarian Cavalry all dismounted from their horses and knelt on one knee. The leading Attilan expressed his respect to Yingzhou with the highest etiquette of the Attilan.

"Great Emperor, we represent the Attilan to express our highest etiquette to you, and offer our Loyalty to you!"

Yingzhou endured the pungent odor and nodded, saying, "That is enough, rise."

"Thank you for your mercy."

Subsequently, after Yingzhou handed the Task of reconnaissance to this Attilan, the Attilan respectfully saluted Yingzhou and said, "Obeying your will, for you, for the Attilan!"

Then, these 200-plus Attila Barbarian Cavalry mounted their horses and, led by that Attilan, shouted loudly.

"For the Emperor!"

"For the Attilan!"

As these Attila Barbarian Cavalry rode away, Yingzhou finally felt that the pungent odor in the air had decreased by a lot. He hoped they could help him scout some useful clues.

Yingzhou returned to the position here at Cai Kun's again and found that the surrounding soldiers were intentionally or unintentionally keeping their distance from him. Thus, Yingzhou walked to Cai Kun's side; Cai Kun wanted to take a few steps back, but was stopped by Yingzhou.

"What is going on? Why are you all avoiding me?"

Cai Kun could only bite the bullet and reply, "They are afraid you will summon those soldiers again; after all, that smell is indeed, a bit... er... unique?"
