Chapter 175: Reinforcing New Recruits

~7 min read 1,311 words

Far away in the Hatchery, after the Dominator Zerg discovered that its connection to its children had been severed, even the antennae swaying back and forth on its head stopped moving.

"That Human actually severed the connection between me and my children! As expected, there is something wrong with the unusual aura on him. I cannot let the children continue to attack that place anymore. That is clearly a force sent by the Humans to delay me from producing children. Although they do not have the energy fluctuations found on those other Humans, their physical fitness is unexpectedly strong. It is truly incredible."

Subsequently, the antennae on the Dominator Zerg's head swayed back and forth, recalling the Zerg swarm that was currently fighting the Death Korps soldiers.

Upon seeing the Zerg begin to retreat, Yingzhou could not help but feel puzzled in his heart, "Strange, why would they retreat? They clearly had the advantage, uh, the numerical advantage."

However, Yingzhou did not dwell on it any further. This trip had yielded some materials for fusing Primarch genes, and he did not know how much more was needed after the system extracted the materials.

Not far from the defensive line where the Death Korps soldiers were, the Attila Barbarian Cavalry, after watching the Termagants retreat, had their leader, a sturdy Attila man, flick the Zerg blood off his Hunting Spear and say with a smile, "The great Emperor leads us to victory! Praise the Emperor!"

Afterward, he looked at the main battlefield from just moments ago. Among the large number of Zerg corpses were some corpses of Death Korps soldiers. The area covered by artillery fire had dropped significantly, having been blasted into a large crater. Those surviving Death Korps soldiers did not mourn their fallen comrades but instead began to assemble their troops.

"Truly a bunch of lunatics!" the sturdy Attila man muttered to himself.

The Attila warriors beside him all felt agreement with this statement.

"I really cannot imagine a battlefield with these guys around. May the Emperor protect us."

"Indeed, their charges cannot be coordinated with other Legions; their charges come with artillery fire!"

The sturdy Attila man coughed twice and said to the Attila warriors behind him.

"Alright, stop discussing our comrades-in-arms. The Emperor is above; we must go report back to the Emperor now."

As the sturdy Attila man's words fell, these Attila warriors also shut their mouths, riding their warhorses behind the sturdy man.

10th Position.

As Yingzhou returned to the position with the Death Korps of Krieg and the Catachan Jungle Fighters, Cai Kun came out to greet him at the first opportunity.

"Commander Yingzhou! We have received another batch of ammunition supplies; the ammunition at the 10th Position is no longer in short supply."

Cai Kun walked quickly to Yingzhou's side and saluted him.

"Mm, not bad. You defend the position well to avoid any accidents. I will rest for a while; I fought a battle with the Zerg today, and the Zerg seem to have hidden quite a few things."

After listening to Cai Kun's report, Yingzhou nodded and replied in a perfunctory manner.

Subsequently, Yingzhou had the Death Korps of Krieg and the Catachan Jungle Fighters head to the mountains on both sides to rest, while he returned to his tent to sit cross-legged and rest.

Outside the tent, Cai Kun was stunned for a long time after hearing that Yingzhou had fought a battle with the Zerg before he reacted. He had been wondering why the number of troops in those Legions was quite different from when they left; it turned out they had fought a battle with the Zerg.

Cai Kun looked at Yingzhou's tent, filled with respect for this man.

What a powerful person. A single person taking the Legion he summoned to fight the Zerg outside—he would not believe this if it were anyone else, but when it came to Yingzhou, he could not help but choose to believe it.

Cai Kun turned and left, beginning to check the position for any missed areas that needed remediation.

Inside the tent, Yingzhou was Gathering Spiritual Power while waiting for the news that the system had successfully extracted the materials.

By the time Yingzhou had restored his state, the system's prompt had not yet appeared. Seeing that the results would not be ready in a short while, Yingzhou walked out of his tent. Seeing a batch of new faces at the position, he walked over curiously, only to hear the words of those new recruits.

"Damn, I'm so nervous. It's my first time fighting an Alien Race; I have no experience!"

"Everyone is the same. Me too. After coming out of the Lingnengzhe Xuexiao, I spent two and a half months at the Military District's New Recruit Training Camp before being sent here."

"Hehe, I have been on a battlefield once before, but it was just a small skirmish. Those Zerg seemed to be a remnant force; we ran into them and took care of them."

"Big brother, then you aren't a new recruit?"

"Right, I was transferred from another unit. Military District troop movements are a common occurrence; you'll get used to it. My name is Yun Shuangjin. If you end up in the same squad as me, I can look after you."

"Big Brother Yun! Thank you so much!"

Hearing an unexpected name among the new recruits, Yingzhou came to the location where the new recruits were.

His tall and strong body instantly attracted the gazes of those around him. Yun Shuangjin, who was chatting with several new recruits, noticed the atmosphere was off and slowly turned his head to look.

He saw a sturdy man about 2.7 meters tall appear before him, but soon, Yun Shuangjin found this man in front of him rather familiar. It seemed to overlap with a certain figure in his memory, but this person in front of him had clearly grown much taller.

"You are Yingzhou? Hahaha, I had long heard of your legends in the Military District. Do you know? After knowing the news that you weren't dead, I looked forward to meeting you again!"

Yun Shuangjin said to Yingzhou with some excitement, then he looked around and said to Yingzhou, "Are you also a soldier transferred here?"

"Uh, theoretically that is indeed the case. I was originally in the Thirteenth Legion. Then I was sent here to provide support, arriving here earlier than you all."

Yingzhou smiled and replied, having long-awaitedly met a friend he knew from his time at the Lingnengzhe Xuexiao.

"You arrived a few days earlier than me? Then have you already fought the Zerg here? How is it? Is the Zerg offensive fierce?"

Hearing that Yingzhou had arrived a few days earlier than them, Yun Shuangjin curiously asked Yingzhou about the battle situation here.

"It's alright, the Zerg only have the advantage in numbers; we still have a good chance of holding out!"

"That's good. Before coming here, I heard that this place was being attacked by the Zerg, and I thought I would be sent straight to the front lines as soon as I arrived. Hearing you say that, I feel much more at ease."

Yun Shuangjin patted his chest and said.

Just then, Cai Kun, who had come to receive the new recruits, saw Yingzhou and walked up to say to him, "Commander Yingzhou, how is your recovery?"

"Mm, it's about done. In a while, I will write down the Zerg encountered this time and the attack methods they displayed into a report for you; you can come and take it."

Yingzhou nodded at Cai Kun and said in a calm tone.

"Commander? Hmm?"

Yun Shuangjin looked at this Yingzhou, who had been confirmed dead at school and whose legends he had heard in the Military District, his mouth slowly opening wide.

No way?
