Chapter 203: Powerful Firepower

When the soldiers of the Sixty-Sixth Corps saw the armored vehicles and those artillery pieces clearing the path ahead, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Am I seeing this right? Didn't our Sixty-Sixth Corps' armored units get wiped out? What is this?"

"You're talking about our armored units? Aren't they right next to us?"

"Right, but where did that armored unit come from? Why haven't I heard of them before?"

"Not sure, I only know that the Seventy-Eighth Corps' units that came to support us yesterday went to the front, but didn't they fail to advance too?"

A soldier pointed at the soldiers of the Seventy-Eighth Corps waiting in place not far away and said.

It wasn't just the soldiers who were shocked; the Sixty-Sixth Corps' armored units were too.

"What's going on? Wasn't it said that we were the only armored unit left? What is that?"

A tank commander couldn't help but complain after seeing this scene.

The driver of the Prowler Tank also shook his head in confusion, "I don't know. Didn't the commander say two days ago that we were the only remaining armored unit of the Sixty-Sixth Corps?"

"Could it be an armored unit sent by another corps for support?" the gunner said after seeing this through the sight.

"Who have you ever seen send an armored unit as support? Could the commander have transferred a new armored unit from the Military District these past few days?" The commander retorted to the gunner and muttered to himself.

"Commander, the commander just issued us the latest order, telling us to follow the armored unit in front, maintain a certain distance, and be ready to support the friendly forces ahead at any time."

The driver said to the commander after receiving a communication.

"Then follow them, keep your distance, and be ready to support at any time."

The Dominator Bug discovered through the perspective of its children that those Human soldiers had begun to advance toward its front line, and the antennae on its head kept twitching.

"These Humans actually dare to launch an active attack, they are truly courting death! Since they have launched an attack in despair, then let me finish you all off!"

Subsequently, the antennae on the Dominator Bug's head twitched, and it controlled the Zerg around the Small Hatchery through the Small Hatchery on the front line, launching an attack on those Humans.

The swarm that had been waiting in place around the Small Hatchery began to move after receiving the Dominator Bug's order, charging toward the direction the Humans were advancing.

Soon, both sides engaged in a firefight at a hill.

The Krieg soldiers at the very front, upon detecting the movements of the Alien, immediately pointed out the approximate location to the Krieg Artillery advancing behind them.

A Basilisk Self-Propelled Artillery fired at the given coordinates, and the charging Insect Tide was instantly covered by artillery fire, blowing the body parts of the Zerg everywhere.

The Gorgon armored assault transport vehicles at the front began to change direction, bypassing the frontal battlefield where they were engaging the Zerg, preparing to raid the Small Hatchery behind the Zerg and eliminate some Zerg that could threaten the frontal battlefield.

Within the Insect Tide on the Zerg side, a portion of the swarm split off to pursue the Gorgon armored assault transport vehicles, but the Heavy Short Cannons and Heavy Bolters on the Gorgon armored assault transport vehicles quickly opened fire on the pursuing swarm of Hormagaunts.

The powerful firepower directly tore this swarm of Hormagaunts pursuing the Gorgon armored assault transport vehicles to shreds.

On the frontal battlefield, the Krieg soldiers were harvesting the swarm of Hormagaunts getting closer and closer to them with the Lucius Pattern 98 Lasguns in their hands.

However, the Catachan tough guys behind also arrived at the battlefield in their Chimera Armored Vehicles, crossing the defensive line formed by the Krieg soldiers to face the Insect Tide head-on.

The Blue Slime bugs behind the Insect Tide sprayed high-temperature blue slime, which flew toward the defensive line formed by the Krieg soldiers.

The Modian Iron Guard drove their Chimera Armored Vehicles and two Leman Russ Tanks closely behind, while the Sixty-Sixth Corps' Prowler Tanks also opened fire on the Zerg from the flanks.

For a moment, the soldiers of the Sixty-Sixth Corps in the rear had an illusion that the Insect Tide, which they had found difficult to defend against, was now being blocked head-on.

The artillery formation composed of Krieg Artillery immediately adjusted the angle of their guns and opened fire on the Alien spraying blue slime.

As this batch of Blue Slime bugs was wiped out, the pressure on the Catachan tough guys and the Modian Iron Guard clearing the path at the very front was reduced significantly.

"The Emperor protects, these Aliens' sprayed blue liquid can actually burn through the thick armor at the front of the armored vehicle!"

After seeing a Chimera Armored Vehicle burned through by the blue slime sprayed by the Zerg, the Modian Lieutenant sighed from the bottom of his heart, and then he immediately issued an order to all the Modian Iron Guard.

"Continue to advance, do not let any Alien go, for the Emperor!"

The Heavy Bolters fired from the front of the Chimera Armored Vehicles, tearing apart the Zerg that tried to get close, and then rolled over the corpses of the Zerg.

"Next time, let's also request the Emperor to get us a few tanks! It looks so satisfying!"

A Catachan tough guy said with a hint of envy in his eyes as he saw the two Leman Russ Tanks of the Modian Iron Guard.

"Hahaha, then let's sweep away these Aliens in front of us! Let these Aliens feel the Emperor's wrath!"

Under the cover of the Chimera Armored Vehicles, the Leman Russ Tanks operated their 120mm Battle Cannons to fire at the upright tank bugs on the Zerg side.

The powerful firepower shattered the ridiculously thick carapace of the upright tank bug, and then another shell blew the head of this upright tank bug to pieces.

The Heavy Bolters on both sides of the Leman Russ Tanks opened fire, blasting all the Zerg within sight to pieces.

The nearly 20-meter-tall upright tank bug slowly fell, crushing a patch of Hormagaunts.

However, more upright tank bugs were advancing in the rear. Behind these tank bugs crawled winged suicide bugs. After the tank bugs could no longer advance, these suicide bugs flew out from behind and launched attacks at the nearest armored vehicles.

The green liquid produced by the explosion did not cause much damage to the armored vehicles; it was only because of the sheer quantity that the surface of the armored vehicles was corroded into some pitted holes.

Just then, a wave of blue slime flew in from nowhere, burning through two Chimera Armored Vehicles. The Catachan tough guys sitting inside saw that the Chimera Armored Vehicles could no longer start, so they immediately opened the hatches. A dozen Catachan tough guys held Laser Guns in one hand and Catachan Combat Knives in the other.

They killed the Hormagaunts that got close to them, and one Catachan female warrior even held a Flamer, spraying flames at the Zerg approaching her.

The high-temperature flames roasted the shells of these Zerg until they crackled, and a sour, foul smell permeated the air.

"Damn it, these Aliens smell so foul even when they're roasted!"

"Hahaha, that's still better than those Attilan who don't bathe!"

A Catachan tough guy joked from the side, while casually hacking off the head of a Hormagaunt.

"Heh! Damn it, it's not a pleasant smell either way!"
