Chapter 242: Following Behind Them

Xiao Kuishi saw those cavalrymen with the pungent odor charging straight toward those Aliens, and just as he was about to open his mouth to warn them, he got a mouthful of dust.

"Cough, cough, cough... cough... cough... ha, you guys charging straight in like that, isn't that just throwing your lives away?"

After coughing for a long time and recovering, Xiao Kuishi looked at the cavalrymen who had already moved far away from him and muttered to himself.

"Attention, do not enter the artillery coverage area! Kill those Aliens that rush out of the explosion zone!"

The leading Attila officer said, his Laser Pistol directly killing an Alien that was rapidly closing in.

Then he raised a Hunting Spear, aimed it at a tall Alien charging toward him, and thrust the spear into the opponent's arm; the warhorse's powerful impact force directly knocked this Alien flying, and then an explosion rang out, leaving the Alien with no corpse remaining.

The Attila officer skillfully installed a new spearhead onto his Hunting Spear and searched for the next target.

The Attila Barbarian Cavalry following behind also used their Hunting Spears to pierce the bodies of the Aliens approaching them, after which the spearheads exploded.

Nearly 700 Attila Barbarian Cavalry, like a sharp knife, killed the Hou warriors rushing out around the perimeter of the artillery coverage.

The Hou also paid a certain price for their own contempt, and subsequently, they used Energy Bombs to attack those cavalrymen, but after only a few shots, they were interrupted by the Human Alliance 312th Regiment that had arrived.

After seeing the scene of the Attila Barbarian Cavalry charging into the pile of Aliens just now, Xiao Kuishi said to the signalman beside him.

"Are cavalry actually this strong? They pierced right through the Aliens! Should we try it too?"

The signalman looked at his commander's grumbling expression and gave an awkward smile, "Commander, cavalry can only serve as a surprise force; on the front line, armored units are still superior."

"Hahaha, I was just saying it casually. Actually, aside from the smell on their bodies being too pungent, those cavalrymen are actually quite good, and in combat, they are also very strong. Did you see their shooting just now? They could accurately hit the enemy even on the bumpy backs of their horses; they are simply born cavalrymen!"

Xiao Kuishi watched as his direct subordinate troops had already begun to exchange fire with those Aliens, and the opponent's green Energy Bombs were flying directly toward this side.

But among the direct subordinate troops, several soldiers' pupils turned directly into a silver-white color, and a silver-white protective shield blocked the attack of those green Energy Bombs and even reflected the Energy Bombs back, directly blowing up quite a few Aliens.

"It seems the opponent can use human Spiritual Power, but if this Energy Bomb is used against ordinary people without Spiritual Power, the power is indeed quite good, but the soldiers I have here have several who have awakened a Back Spirit, professionally countering Spiritual Power attacks, and they can even return them doubled!"

Xiao Kuishi said happily after seeing the Energy Bombs flying toward his side being blocked.

"Commander, the other several units have already reached their designated positions; should we advance together?"

The signalman on the side immediately asked Xiao Kuishi after receiving the information from the other units.

"Advance, directly pull out the Teleportation Device of these Aliens! We still need to hurry to support Chief Ji Bu!"

Xiao Kuishi paused and continued, "Also, notify the artillery position that when we advance in a moment, the artillery fire should also be pulled forward! We will finish off these Aliens in one go!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the signalman immediately conveyed Xiao Kuishi's command.

The Hou warriors here did not expect the opponent's artillery attack to last so long, and it was not easy for them to get out, and quite a few warriors had been killed by those cavalrymen who were like a stirring stick.

Although they also lost some people, whenever the Hou warriors wanted to use Energy Bombs to attack those cavalrymen, they would be attacked by those human soldiers.

A Hou warrior locked onto a cavalryman approaching it, used its octopus-tentacle-like arm to directly grab the cavalryman who wanted to stab it with a Hunting Spear, and then its legs rooted directly into the ground, dragging this cavalryman off the warhorse.

The warhorse's powerful impact force forcibly snapped its rooted legs, and it rolled on the ground several times following that cavalryman.

That cavalryman directly abandoned the Hunting Spear, took out a Laser Pistol, aimed it at the head of this Hou warrior, and blew its head off with one shot, taking away its life.

But he was also torn apart by other Hou warriors and disappeared from the battlefield.

When approaching the Rift, Xiao Kuishi saw a Scroll appear in the hand of an Alien, and that Scroll emitted a strong Spiritual Power Fluctuation.

His body's instinctive reaction made Xiao Kuishi immediately launch an attack on that Scroll.

A flame appeared around him, condensing into a spear-shaped flame, and shot toward that Scroll.

The Alien opposite, upon seeing the Flame Spear shot by Xiao Kuishi flying toward it, immediately opened a Spirit Power Shield around its body, but it was still a step too late; by the time the Spirit Power Shield appeared, the flame had already burned onto their body.

The Scroll in that Alien's hand was also burned to nothing by the flame, but that Alien did not suffer much injury.

After the flame burned out on its skin, it was blown away by the opponent using Spiritual Power, and as those skin-fragment-like pieces fell, this Alien revealed a ferocious appearance, its hard shell rapidly replacing the skin that had just been burned off, and a cloud of dust rose with it as the center, which also contained some fragments of its own kin.

Rune Bullets bombarded its side but were all blocked by the Spirit Power Shield that rose around it; its gaze looked toward Xiao Kuishi, and its face, which clearly had no mouth, emitted a human voice.

"You actually dare to destroy the Scroll bestowed upon us by the Bishop! Use your body to compensate for it!"

Having said that, its body moved rapidly following the surrounding Aliens and charged toward Xiao Kuishi, and the Aliens around it also followed it in the charge.

At the same time, the original artillery attack had become less frequent than before; now the soldiers of the 312th Regiment had surrounded this Rift in a pincer movement and were constantly pushing forward, and the distance to the Aliens was also constantly closing.

"Get close to the Rift first! Try to close it! We cannot keep fighting a war of attrition with these Aliens!"

Xiao Kuishi had the signalman convey his order, and he himself followed the soldiers' advance, firing at those Aliens with the weapon in his hand.

Soldiers kept falling, and soldiers kept filling the gaps; especially when these soldiers saw Xiao Kuishi also leading the charge and fighting hard to kill the Aliens, the fear in their hearts was suppressed by the surging hot blood, and they used various means to eliminate the enemies in front of them.

Seeing this situation, the Attila officer looked at the nearly 600 Attila warriors behind him and shouted loudly.

"See that Alien? It should be the opponent's leader! Take it out! For the Emperor!"

The Attila Barbarian Cavalry, who were originally weaving through and harassing these Aliens, this time directly launched a charge toward that Alien rushing toward Xiao Kuishi.

Seeing this, Xiao Kuishi immediately had the soldiers open a gap for these cavalrymen and shouted loudly.

"Follow behind them! Do not stop! Charge directly to the Rift! Close the Rift!"
