Chapter 240: Puppet Dolls

"Officer, we have discovered a Rift suddenly appearing ahead, and a large number of Aliens are pouring out of it. Please advise."

Modian Lieutenant, inside the Chimera Armored Vehicle, received the intelligence from the soldiers scouting ahead and immediately issued an order.

"The Task entrusted to us by the Emperor is to annihilate every Alien that appears here; crush those Aliens! For the Emperor!"

All Chimera Armored Vehicles turned their fronts slightly and drove toward the location where the Rift had appeared.

The Multi-lasers and Heavy Bolters on the Chimera Armored Vehicles opened fire on the Aliens ahead; the Aliens hit did not even leave behind a complete corpse.

Coupled with the 120mm Battle Cannon of the Leman Russ Tank firing at the dense clusters of Aliens, it directly blasted swathes of Aliens into nothingness.

Soon, the side at the Rift realized the strength of the firepower here, and one after another, Aliens standing 7.4 to 7.8 meters tall, with various strange creatures growing on their bodies, appeared on the battlefield.

Accompanying their appearance, a visible Spiritual Power Force Field lit up around them, deflecting the Laser Beams fired at them; the trajectories of the Rune Bullets were also affected by the force field, deviating from their pre-aimed positions. Some hit the giant Aliens in non-lethal spots, blasting them into cripples, while others exploded around these giant Aliens, also destroying a patch of smaller Aliens.

The other creatures growing on the backs of these giant Aliens also fired green Energy Bombs at the Modian Iron Guard; two Chimera Armored Vehicles were hit directly, but those Energy Bombs did not immediately blow up the Chimera Armored Vehicles.

The powerful force flipped the two Chimera Armored Vehicles directly, and they rolled a few times upon landing on the ground; the Modian soldiers inside were shaken until they were disoriented and felt somewhat dizzy.

The Modian soldiers sitting in the back of the Chimera Armored Vehicles climbed down; because of the violent shaking just now, these Modian soldiers were dizzy and dazzled after getting off the Chimera Armored Vehicles, but they quickly adapted, picked up the Laser Guns in their hands, and aimed at the Aliens approaching their side not far ahead.

A Modian Sergeant shouted loudly.

"Fire!"

The Modian soldiers who received the order to fire opened fire in an orderly fashion; over twenty Laser Beams fired in unison, accurately hitting those Aliens trying to approach, though some Aliens seemed to have an energy shield around them capable of withstanding the Laser Beam fire.

"Three men to one target, fire!"

With this volley, nearly ten Aliens on the opposite side fell instantly.

The Modian soldiers on the other Chimera Armored Vehicles, after receiving the order to disembark, all quickly got off; facing the menacing Aliens, they used volleys in an orderly manner to shoot these Aliens dead.

The firepower of the Chimera Armored Vehicles did not stop and continued to fire at those Aliens.

Seeing that their attacks had not destroyed those Human armored vehicles, the giant Aliens launched another attack.

Only this time, the attack was accompanied by scorching high temperatures, burning through the armor of several Chimera Armored Vehicles.

"Continue firing! Prioritize the Rune Bullets on those giant Aliens!"

Modian Lieutenant immediately ordered, and the main guns of three Leman Russ Tanks fired at those giant Aliens.

At the same time, the Prowler Tanks in the rear also deployed their formation, and Fang Manbin shouted loudly into the Communication Device.

"Help them attack those giant Aliens! The following infantry, press forward and help those soldiers resist those small Alien Race!"

The main guns of the Prowler Tanks turned their muzzles, aimed, and fired.

Although the power was not as great as the main guns of the Leman Russ Tanks, they had the advantage of quantity, and to a certain extent, they also caused some damage to these Alien Race.

Under the powerful artillery fire of the armored units, the Hou warriors appearing at the Rift felt it was tricky.

"Damn it! Didn't Lord Herui say that the leader of the Humans here had already trusted him? Why are we still suffering this kind of firepower strike!"

A Hou warrior fired Energy Bombs at the Modian soldiers not far away, shouting loudly with a mouth full of sharp teeth.

Its roar had no effect; those ordinary soldiers wearing bright uniforms, with no Spiritual Power Fluctuation on their bodies, erupted with powerful fighting will at this moment.

They calmly pulled the triggers of the Laser Guns in their hands, shooting dead one Alien after another.

The leading Monkey Captain—Wozhao—felt that even if he opened the Spiritual Power Force Field, he could not block the fierce firepower from the opposite side; the opposite side had already stood their ground, and the firepower was clearly stronger than theirs.

"This won't do; we must let the giants push up to create a larger battlefield for the Hou warriors and destroy the armored units on the opposite side!"

Following that, Wozhao ordered the Monkey warriors beside him.

"Let our giant warriors push up, and also, throw the Mental Curse Dolls at the opposite side!"

Wozhao's order was quickly conveyed to the giant Monkey warriors who had not yet walked out of the Rift; after receiving the order, these tall Monkey warriors directly took out from their own stomachs one after another skinless, humanoid-like Puppet; they looked like they were not yet adults, and sticky liquid was clinging to their bodies.

The skinless bodies, the blood long since dried, the muscles already shriveled, yet their chests were still rising and falling slightly, proving they were still alive.

Green energy appeared in the hands of these giant Hou warriors, wrapping these Puppet dolls, and then they walked out of the Rift and threw them toward the Modian Iron Guard at the very front.

One after another, the Puppet dolls wrapped in green energy streaked through the air and landed at the location where the Modian Iron Guard were.

Seeing this scene from the rear, Modian immediately ordered, "Eliminate those Aliens being thrown over!"

As soon as the words fell, those Puppet dolls let out shrill screams and then exploded, leaving behind a cloud of red and green dust in place.

Modian Lieutenant saw that after those Aliens exploded, his own soldiers had not suffered heavy casualties, and just as he was wondering about the purpose of those Aliens being thrown over.

His nose twitched involuntarily, and strange whispers began to appear in his mind.

Those whispers tried to make him give up the attack and join the glorious evolution.

"No, continue firing! For the Emperor!"

Modian Lieutenant shook his head vigorously, trying his best to block out the whispers in his mind, and shouted loudly.

The Modian soldiers below endured the whispers in their minds and fired at the Aliens ahead; although the whispers in their minds kept harassing them, they did not stop the attack.

But the opponent's attack was not just whispers; on the exposed skin of the Modian soldiers who first had whispers appear in their minds, pustules began to grow, muscles began to sag, and an eye or a tentacle grew out of the pustules.

This scene made the Human Alliance soldiers in the rear who had not been attacked by the Alien Race feel a chill; the attack method of this Alien Race was truly too disgusting.

But what was even more surprising was that even though their bodies had become like that, those soldiers wearing bright uniforms still did not stop attacking those Alien Race.
