Chapter 186: The Fall of the Armand Defensive Line

Yingzhou did not give that humanoid Zerg a chance to react, swinging his second strike; this time, the humanoid Zerg finally felt the fear brought by the Greatsword and retreated rapidly.

"Don't even think about running! Do you have any idea how much Spiritual Power this sword consumes!"

Yingzhou quickly followed up, swinging his sword again to sever the humanoid Zerg's wings. Seeing that the humanoid Zerg had no will to fight, Yingzhou slashed off all its excess parts, then the Greatsword in his right hand dissipated, and he restrained the humanoid Zerg with both hands, the system recycling the still-resisting humanoid Zerg.

"Phew... uh... phew, damn, there are still those few left." Yingzhou looked back and discovered that these Catachan Devils had already killed one humanoid Zerg; although they lost quite a few men, it seemed that the humanoid Zerg had been poisoned to death?

There was another squad of Catachan Devils that was already struggling to hold on; after all, they could not stray too far from this humanoid Zerg here, lest it go and interfere with the Emperor.

Chen An, leading a small squad of soldiers, was dealing with the last humanoid Zerg alongside the Catachan Devils. Several soldiers used their abilities to trap this humanoid Zerg in a cage-like space, both sides constantly consuming Spiritual Power, but Chen An also had the Catachan Devils summoned by Yingzhou responsible for engaging in combat with this humanoid Zerg inside the cage. At this moment, this humanoid Zerg felt very busy, not only having to maintain its Spiritual Power field but also trying to break through the cage these humans had set up for it.

Most importantly, these soldiers without Spiritual Power had actually been engaging it in hand-to-hand combat the whole time; although its attacks were dodged every time, this just happened to prove that these humans could not withstand its attacks.

Yingzhou, carrying his Chainsword, approached the humanoid Zerg that was still entangled with the Catachan Devils. Upon seeing Yingzhou charging up, the humanoid Zerg flung the Catachan Devil it had just stabbed toward Yingzhou. Yingzhou dodged sideways and slashed at the humanoid Zerg with his sword.

Yingzhou felt that the Spiritual Power within his body had been consumed too much by condensing the Greatsword just now, causing him to be unable to even condense his own weapon, and he could only rely on his physical body to forcibly clash with the humanoid Zerg before him.

Seeing Yingzhou fighting the Alien, a nearby Catachan Devil used the Catachan Combat Knife in its hand to stab fiercely into the humanoid Zerg's back, but the hard carapace blocked part of the force, only piercing the carapace and some flesh and blood inside. But this was enough; it then pulled out a black short knife and followed up with another strike along the place where the carapace had been pierced.

Soon, Yingzhou felt the humanoid Zerg's body begin to lose its original strength, so he accelerated his attack rhythm and quickly finished off this humanoid Zerg.

At this moment, what Yingzhou worried about most was the combat situation on the mountain peak on the other side; there might be humanoid Zerg there too.

On the other side, when Armand saw his soldiers being drained of flesh and blood by the humanoid Zerg that had suddenly charged into the defensive line, his entire body's Spiritual Power surged, a burst of light shone around him, and a Knight Sword flickering with golden light appeared in his hand.

"Die! You wretched Alien Race!"

But his attack did not take effect; instead, he was targeted by two humanoid Zerg. He was forced to only block the attacks of the two humanoid Zerg. Nearby human soldiers wanted to help, but were pierced through the body by one of the humanoid Zerg, their flesh and blood consumed.

After holding on for a while, Armand was finally pierced through the body by this humanoid Zerg, feeling his own flesh, blood, and Spiritual Power being absorbed by the humanoid Zerg before him.

Armand's consciousness began to blur; he knew his time was running out, but he was unwilling to die like this. He thought of his family, thought of his duty; he could not let these Alien Races threaten the people he protected in the rear!

Relying on his final consciousness before death, Armand detonated the Hand Grenade equipped on his body. Although he did not know if it would be useful, he could not let these humanoid Zerg have it easy either.

The Hand Grenade exploded, and the massive shockwave destroyed everything around it. The humanoid Zerg were knocked back a few steps, their bodies not suffering much damage. Armand's body was also blown into fragments, and his soul dissipated into the air along with the smoke.

Just as the defensive line on Armand's side was about to fail, these humanoid Zerg stopped their movements and began to retreat, with those Termagants covering the rear.

At this time, the Dominator Zerg controlled its remaining 6 children, looking angrily at the mountain peak that had just killed its children.

"Damn humans! My children all died at the hands of that human; I must turn him into a specimen for producing children!"

The retreat of the humanoid Zerg did not improve the situation at the 10th Position, especially Armand's defensive line. Due to the massacre by those humanoid Zerg, the surviving soldiers barely organized effective resistance, but facing the tidal Insect Tide, their resistance seemed unable to stir up a single wave.

"Have the artillery in the rear fire at our location! Block these Zerg here! We definitely can't stop them; rather than letting these Zerg kill us and continue to advance, it's better to let the artillery fire block them here!"

A Sergeant shouted loudly to the soldiers beside him, then fired a signal flare into the sky. That was the signal for the rear artillery to fire, a signal flare that had never been used before.

Upon seeing this signal flare, half of the artillery in the rear began to adjust their muzzles and angles.

The artillerymen operating the cannons had moist eyes, but they still fired toward the direction of the signal flare.

"You damn Alien Races! Human resistance will not stop! We are just dragging you Alien Races to die together! Humans will eventually overcome this crisis! They definitely will!"

This Sergeant roared at the Zerg before him, and accompanied by the explosions of the Rune Bullets, the Zerg occupying the defensive line were submerged by the explosions.

Seeing the signal flare on the opposite mountain peak, Yingzhou already knew that things were looking bad; his Spiritual Power now had little left, and as for Faith Value, it had long been spent.

The humanoid Zerg on his side had all been dealt with, but as for the humanoid Zerg over there, he still did not know what the situation was.

Chen An also saw the scene of the artillery explosions at Armand's defensive line at this moment; he had no time to be dejected and said to Yingzhou.

"Commander! Let me take men over there! That place cannot be lost!"

Yingzhou looked at Chen An's expression and shook his head.

"No need, I'll go!"

Subsequently, Yingzhou forced his body to hold up and led the surviving Catachan Devils to rush toward the mountain peak on the other side.

After Cai Kun discovered the situation on Armand's side, he immediately detached a unit to provide support, but before this unit could move up, it already saw Zerg rushing down from the area covered by the artillery fire.

This unit quickly engaged in battle with the Zerg; fortunately, these Zerg were not numerous, and this unit could still hold on, with the artillery in the rear constantly suppressing the number of the Insect Tide.
