Chapter 272: Did He Come Here Too?

Yingzhou asked the Cadian Lieutenant beside him, "What is the situation over at the Death Korps of Krieg?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, they are responsible for drawing the Zerg's attention, which is what has allowed us to clear out an open area so easily."

Just then, the church inside the Breeding Ground rang its bell again, and that dull sound appeared once more.

"You bunch of ungrateful fools, I gave you a chance, yet you still insist on going outside. Do you think you will live a normal life if you return to the Human Alliance? They will only treat you as labor, making you work until you die!"

Hearing the dull voice, Yingzhou beckoned to a Catachan Sergeant who was standing guard not far away; the Catachan Sergeant immediately came before Yingzhou and straightened his back.

"I want you to take a squad and deal with this annoying voice; stop letting it sow discord there."

"I obey your will!"

The Catachan Sergeant immediately took his squad members, left the extraction point, and entered the Zerg Breeding Ground.

Watching the number of the Death Korps of Krieg on the System Panel decreasing, and seeing that there were not many Zerg left near the extraction point, Yingzhou had the Cadian Lieutenant split off half of the armored units to support the Death Korps of Krieg. At the very least, he could not let the soldiers of the Death Korps of Krieg be wiped out, especially that Watch Sergeant; he had spent time every day communicating with this Watch Sergeant, and it had been difficult to get him to stop being as stubborn as he was at the beginning, so he could not just die like this.

The battlefield where the Death Korps of Krieg was located.

Because most of the Zerg's attention was drawn here, the Death Korps of Krieg faced more than ten times their own number in Zerg; even so, the Death Korps of Krieg still achieved quite good combat results.

The Krieg Commissar looked at the Watch Sergeant in front of him with some disbelief. According to the fighting style of the Death Korps of Krieg in his memory, they would not wait until the soldiers in the trenches were few in number before firing artillery into the trenches; instead, the artillery would cover the entire area directly.

It was precisely because of this that the Death Korps of Krieg could continue to effectively resist under the charge of so many Zerg and attract the enemy's attention.

Just then, a Krieg soldier came before the Watch Sergeant and the Krieg Commissar, saluted, and spoke.

"Officer, the Alien is about to reach your position."

Upon hearing this, the Watch Sergeant just nodded and said to the soldier, "Very well, soldier, return to your position and prepare for battle."

"Yes!"

Seeing the Watch Sergeant say this, the Krieg Commissar said in a tactful tone, "Since this trench has become the front line, please retreat to the artillery position and provide final command."

Hearing the Krieg Commissar say this, the Watch Sergeant turned to look at the Krieg Commissar; both were wearing gas masks, making it impossible to see the other's gaze, but the Watch Sergeant shook his head and said.

"Retreat? Final command? There is none. Our mission is to attract the Alien's attention here and buy enough time for the Cadian Shock Troops. Now it is the final moment! We have no new trenches to block the Alien! Have our soldiers stand by in the trenches; we are going to engage in the final decisive battle with the Alien. We must make those Aliens feel the Emperor's wrath!"

Hearing the Watch Sergeant say this and sensing the determination in his tone, the Krieg Commissar said no more and, following the Watch Sergeant's instructions, headed to the trench.

Moreover, the Alien on the opposite side seemed to be reaching its limit; even if it came down to close-quarters combat, it should be fine.

The Insect Tide drew closer and closer. The Krieg soldiers in the trenches fired continuously, and laser beams struck down one Hormagaunt after another. The Krieg Commissar also drew his Bolter Pistol at this time, watching the surging Insect Tide, his heart already prepared to offer his Loyalty to the Emperor.

Just then, the sound of Heavy Bolters firing suddenly came from behind the Insect Tide. With the appearance of six Chimera Armored Vehicles and one Leman Russ Tank, a gap was torn directly into the Insect Tide composed of Hormagaunts, and in coordination with the Krieg Artillery Basilisk Self-propelled Artillery in the rear, they caused no small amount of damage to the Insect Tide.

The Hormagaunt tide was caught off guard by the attack from the rear, and for a time, a portion of the tide split off to charge at the armored units that had appeared on the flank.

With the addition of the Cadian armored units to the battlefield, the situation turned from a stalemate into a rout. Originally, most of the Zerg here were the most basic Hormagaunts, and other types of Zerg had already been dealt with by the Death Korps of Krieg.

By the time the Cadian reinforcements arrived, the Zerg here were basically all Hormagaunts. The swarm of Hormagaunts that had been about to reach the last trench of the Krieg split off another portion to attack the Cadian armored units. The Krieg soldiers in the trenches fired at the remaining Hormagaunts, and with the support of the artillery in the rear, they prevented those Aliens from reaching the trench side.

When the last Hormagaunt fell, the entire battlefield was a scene of carnage. Looking around, the ground was littered with the gruesome severed limbs of the Zerg; shattered carapaces, broken tentacles, and flowing dark green blood were intertwined.

And among these Zerg remains, there were sporadically scattered parts of Krieg soldiers—broken helmets, twisted limbs, and gas masks ravaged beyond recognition by the flames of war.

The air was filled with a thick, suffocating stench of blood and acrid odors, which permeated the battlefield without restraint.

However, for the battle-hardened Cadian Shock Troops and the Death Korps of Krieg, that acrid smell had no effect on them at all.

At this moment, a Cadian Sergeant leaped down from a Chimera Armored Vehicle. His gaze slowly swept across this battlefield, which resembled a meat grinder.

Looking at the tragic scene before him, he could not help but frown slightly, a low clicking sound coming from his throat.

Although he had experienced countless cruel battles, every time he faced such a bloody scene, an indescribable shock and emotion would still well up in his heart.

Especially on battlefields where the Death Korps of Krieg had fought, there were usually an equal number of enemy and friendly corpses.

This Cadian Sergeant came to the trench where the Death Korps of Krieg were located and saw the Krieg Commissar and the Watch Sergeant in the trench directing the Krieg soldiers to clear the battlefield, ensuring that every Alien was dead.

"We have come to support you under the Emperor's decree!"

After saluting the two, the Cadian Sergeant spoke in a solemn tone.

Hearing the words of this Cadian Sergeant, the Watch Sergeant, the Krieg Commissar, and even the surrounding Krieg soldiers were all shaken.

That person? That person actually came here too?!
