Chapter 291: Your Cavalry Wants to See You

After finishing his examination of the Alien's corpse, Yingzhou found Jack once again.

"Did you find anything?"

Seeing Yingzhou walk back, Jack opened his mouth to ask.

"I have some leads, but they need verification. Since the other party failed in their attack on you this time, I estimate they won't come to trouble you again for a while. However, the squad protecting you cannot be withdrawn yet; after all, no one can guarantee when the attacker might come."

Yingzhou nodded, looked at Jack's arm which had recovered as if nothing had happened, and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Jack agreed without a second thought.

Just kidding—this attack had made Jack clearly realize the terrifying strength of the soldiers Yingzhou summoned.

Especially those muscular, brawny men wearing red headscarves; although their speech was a bit wild, their strength was truly not bad.

Yingzhou nodded, and seeing that Lu Zhenda had already assembled the logistics medical corps, he said to Jack.

"Then I shall take my leave first. Since the problem here has been resolved, I still have to return to the Military District to process documents."

"Mm, thank you for being able to come and help me." After seeing Yingzhou off, Jack looked at the chatting Catachan tough guys and Cadian soldiers, feeling much more at ease.

If it weren't for them, he would likely be the same as Lu Yang—missing and eaten by that monster.

Position No. 5 of the 46th Legion.

A soldier was chatting with his colleague in a tent.

"Have you heard? Our Commander recently rescued quite a few survivors from the Zerg Territory."

"I heard about that too, it seems there were about 【number】 people. How long has it been since our Military District rescued any survivors from a Zerg Breeding Ground?"

"That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this Zerg Breeding Ground was very far away. Our Commander didn't let us, the 46th Legion, go to such a distant place to rescue survivors, but instead summoned a large army himself to save them—about 【number】 people—and they were equipped with armored vehicles, tanks, and artillery units."

"I've seen the one you're talking about; that tank looks much cooler than our Prowler Tank! With such a large-caliber muzzle, it must feel great to fire it."

Just as several soldiers were expressing their own opinions about the soldiers Yingzhou summoned, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the tent, accompanied by a pungent odor.

"Damn it, what is that smell?"

"It seems to be coming from outside."

"Let's go out and see what's going on."

As the Commander of Position No. 5, Xu Ke hurried out of his tent and arrived outside his position after receiving the report from the soldiers.

He saw five or six brawny men wearing wool robes and felt hats, with sun-darkened skin and scars on their cheeks, waiting outside on warhorses.

They had wounds on their bodies to varying degrees, and although their eyes were weary, their gazes were extremely resolute.

"Are these the soldiers the Commander summoned? Quick, let them in!"

After receiving permission from the soldiers at the position, the leading Attilan Sergeant said to the remaining four Attilan warriors behind him.

"They are letting us in. We can finally relax a little, and it was not in vain for those sacrificed Attilan warriors! May their souls return to... cough... uh... receive the Emperor's protection."

The few men rode their warhorses, following the requirements of the Human Alliance soldiers, avoided the traps set in front, and entered Camp No. 5.

"I am the Commander here—Xu Ke. Who are you?"

"We are the Emperor's soldiers, we are Attilan. This time we were ordered by the Emperor to go out and scout the situation of the Alien. We must meet the Emperor; please help us convey this message."

The Attilan Sergeant dismounted from his warhorse, shook the right hand Xu Ke extended, and said in a hoarse voice.

Xu Ke endured the pungent odor and nodded, saying, "I understand. I will report your situation to the Military District. Do you want to wash off the blood and filth on your bodies first?"

To Xu Ke's surprise, the other party did not seem to appreciate his kind reminder and was even very angry.

"What? That is a sign of disrespect to the Water Spirit! We have our own customs; this is not a problem you should be concerned about. The most important thing now is to let us meet the Emperor!"

The leading Attilan Sergeant glared with wide eyes, looked at Xu Ke, and said every word clearly.

At this moment, Xu Ke doubted reality. Big brother, can't you smell the odor on yourself? What Water Spirit? What kind of custom is that?

Inside the Transport Aircraft.

Lu Zhenda looked at Yingzhou sitting opposite him, and after struggling for a long time, he opened his mouth to ask.

"Commander, does Councilor Jack's attack have anything to do with Councilor Lu Yang's disappearance?"

Yingzhou was not surprised that Lu Zhenda would ask him this; in fact, everyone would think this way, but to say it out loud required evidence.

"Lao Lu, we are all just in the guessing stage right now and cannot say it is certain, but my guess is similar to yours, and I have even thought of more."

As soon as Lu Zhenda heard that Yingzhou thought the same, he immediately asked.

"Commander, have you discovered some secret that is inconvenient to talk about?"

Yingzhou shook his head and replied.

"Not really. I suspect that this attack on Jack and the disappearance of Lu Yang are likely because some people want to eliminate dissenters. Before, they didn't have this kind of strength, but now it's different. Since he suddenly obtained a relatively powerful weapon, he naturally would have this idea."

After listening to Yingzhou's words, Lu Zhenda felt a shock in his heart and said in surprise.

"Commander, do you mean that this is very likely done by a Councilor within the Council?"

Yingzhou smiled and shook his head, stroking his cheek with his large right hand, and replied after a moment of thought.

"Lao Lu, don't be so excited. I already said it's just a guess. What we need next is verification. When we have the meeting in a while, we might discover something. Let's see who is the most restless with Lu Yang missing and Jack injured; that person is the most likely culprit."

Lu Zhenda fell into silence; he was very confused now.

Have some people in the Council gone mad? Now that the Alien Race is still eyeing them from the outside, how dare they cause destruction from within?

Soon, the transport aircraft began to land. Two transport aircraft stopped slowly on the Military District's Landing Pad. The cabin doors opened slowly, and Yingzhou and Lu Zhenda walked off the transport aircraft. The other aircraft carried some logistics medical soldiers and supplies brought back from the Production Zone.

Just as Yingzhou stepped off the transport aircraft, he saw a communications soldier running over in a hurry, who saluted Yingzhou and said.

"Commander, there are some of your cavalry at the 46th Legion who want to see you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenda looked at his Commander in confusion.

His Commander's soldiers were at the 46th Legion? Didn't he go to the Breeding Ground to save survivors earlier? What was this about cavalry?

Upon hearing this, Yingzhou also remembered that he had sent out many Attila Squads to scout the situation of the Alien Race outside. Had some special situation occurred?
