Chapter 181: The Fall of Position No. 4

"No matter what, I have to try! Watch this! You damned Alien Race!"

Two talismans appeared in the Commander's hands; he attached them to his legs and then retreated rapidly.

For a moment, a question mark flashed over the head of this humanoid Zerg. This Human, he ran? Why did he yell so loudly while running?

The humanoid Zerg then spread the wings on its back, and seeing that the soldiers resisting on the position were already at the end of their rope, it flew rapidly to pursue that Human.

But it soon discovered that this Human was not fleeing in one direction, but was running in circles.

A strange Human. Could it be that he didn't want to escape, but wanted to stall for time with it? What exactly did he want to do? Wait for reinforcements?

Just as that Human circled around and returned to the place where he had just absorbed that other Human, he stopped.

This humanoid Zerg also stopped. It was very curious about what this Human wanted to do. Why didn't he just run away, but instead circled around with it?

The Commander looked at that humanoid Zerg and the pitch-black Zerg surrounding him, a trace of a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

"You bunch of Alien Race, killing our compatriots on our land, enslaving our kin, treating us Humans like livestock! This land is ours! I may not be able to see Humans drive you out, but Humans will never submit! Even if you can control some Humans as your Puppets! But! How could Humans ever submit! We... will definitely be victorious!"

Subsequently, a blood-red talisman appeared in the Commander's hand, and he smeared his own fresh blood onto it.

Immediately following, pillars of blood-red light surrounded the Zerg and the humanoid Zerg within the range, and a powerful force surged out from the Commander's body.

The humanoid Zerg looked in astonishment at the powerful energy fluctuations erupting from the Human before it. Its figure moved, and its left limb pierced the Human's body, but the Human's body was rapidly dissipating. Before it even had time to absorb his flesh and blood, he had already turned into a mist of blood and vanished into the air.

"Hahaha, go to hell! Using everything of mine, including my soul, I will slaughter all of you Alien Race!"

Pillars of blood-colored light reaching into the sky surrounded the Zerg. Huge talismans appeared within the perimeter, erupting with powerful force, mincing all those pitch-black Zerg, instantly turning them into a pool of meat paste.

Only the humanoid Zerg was still struggling to hold on. It felt some regret; if it had absorbed that Human's flesh and blood, then this powerful force could have been used by itself. It was just a pity that at the time, it only thought this Human wanted to escape and didn't think much of it.

The blood-colored light pillars lasted for nearly a minute before disappearing. All Zerg were eliminated, including that humanoid Zerg, which was torn to shreds by that violent force after holding on for more than 40 seconds.

After the blood-colored light pillars vanished, the area they had just covered was entirely blood-red. The ground looked as if it had been overturned, and the meat paste of those Zerg had merged with the earth, among which were also the sacrificed Human Alliance soldiers.

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region.

"Report to the Chief, at 2:30 AM last night, the Sixty-Sixth Corps' Position No. 4 was breached by the Zerg..."

After Ji Bu learned the news that the Sixty-Sixth Corps' Position No. 4 had been breached by the Zerg, he was so angry that he directly interrupted the Guard's report.

"These cunning Alien Race! They actually picked the most inconspicuous position as a breakthrough point. Did the retreating soldiers say anything?"

The Guard whose report had been interrupted said immediately, "There were no retreating soldiers. All soldiers, including the Commander, died in battle. Before dying, the Commander of Position No. 4 burned his own soul and flesh, used the forbidden ability of a Back Spirit, and slaughtered all the invading Zerg. The battle situation was extremely tragic."

Ji Bu, who had been somewhat angry, froze for a long while after hearing this news. Finally, he slowly sat down in his chair, his tone sounding somewhat weary as he spoke.

"They are all excellent soldiers of the Human Alliance. Settle their families well and inform them of this news. Additionally, have the Commander of the Sixty-Sixth Corps regain control of that position and dispatch new troops and a Commander."

"Yes!"

The Guard saluted Ji Bu and turned to leave.

Sixty-Sixth Corps Command Camp.

Sixty-Sixth Corps Legion Commander—Xiong Zhongdao was pacing back and forth in his tent, his right hand constantly stroking his thick beard. Last night, the blood-red light pillars that lit up at Position No. 4 had made the commanders of the two surrounding positions suspicious, so they sent a team to check what had happened. As a result, when the troops arrived, they discovered that there was not a single living person left at Position No. 4, and there were also many Zerg corpses there.

After a soldier used his own Back Spirit to reconstruct the scene at that time, the situation that occurred at Position No. 4 last night was presented.

He had just notified the Military District of this bad news. He didn't know what kind of reaction the Military District would have. Now he was assembling troops, preparing to retake Position No. 4. He could not leave Position No. 4 empty; he could not let down the land that the Commander had traded his life to secure.

"Report! Legion Commander! The Chief requests that you send troops and a new Commander to retake Position No. 4. You cannot let the Zerg take this opportunity to take root at Position No. 4!"

At this moment, a Guard ran into Xiong Zhongdao's tent and said this after saluting Xiong Zhongdao.

"Good, call the Xu Fenqiu squad as well. Everything there has been destroyed; we must restore the defenses as quickly as possible and prevent the Zerg from attacking."

Xiong Zhongdao nodded and issued the order to his Guard.

A burly man who had already lost his right eye walked into the tent at this time and said to Xiong Zhongdao.

"Let me lead the team this time. The Zerg must already know that everything there has been destroyed. I want to go to Position No. 4 to command the troops, and wait until everything there is restored before coming back."

Xiong Zhongdao looked at the burly man before him and said earnestly, "Lao Chang, then I'll leave it to you. From now on, Deputy Legion Commander of the Sixty-Sixth Corps—Chang Chengdou, you lead the team to Position No. 4 to redeploy the defense line, and take the Xu Fenqiu squad with you to act together, so as to avoid the Beast Race attacking again."

Chang Chengdou saluted and said, "Yes! Guarantee to complete the Task!"

"At that time, I will also have the two positions closest to you observe the movements of the Zerg. If necessary, I will help you contain a portion of the Zerg."

Xiong Zhongdao added another sentence.

Chang Chengdou nodded, "I understand. I'll go assemble the troops now. This time I want to take more soldiers with me. If there aren't many soldiers there, it will be hard for us to block the Zerg's attack."

"Mm, I will coordinate it. Also, for supplies and materials, I'll give you some first; the rest will be sent over later. You know our current situation. When the next supply arrives, it will be sent to you first."

Chang Chengdou said understandingly, "I know. I will explain the situation to the soldiers when the time comes."
