Chapter 336: A Feint Attack

"In reality, most Astra Militarum can fight alongside Human Alliance soldiers and even boost their morale, though it is unclear if the two sides will get along in their daily interactions."

The frontmost line of the Zerg defense had already engaged the Zerg; a Hormagaunt was directly stabbed in the abdomen by a Cadian soldier using a Monomolecular Combat Knife, who then quickly aimed an M36 Kantrael Laser Gun at the Hormagaunt's ugly head and fired, the Laser Beam striking the Hormagaunt, causing its meter-long body to collapse to the ground and go still.

"Look out!"

A suicide bug suddenly rushed out from behind this Cadian; a Human Alliance soldier saw this, their eyes instantly turning silver-white, and as their right hand reached out and gripped, a layer of silver-white light shield appeared around the Cadian soldier, and as the suicide bug exploded, green, highly corrosive liquid landed on the light shield and was instantly evaporated by it.

The Cadian soldier nodded at the Human Alliance soldier and raised their gun to kill another Hormagaunt approaching them.

Are these soldiers, who lack high combat quality but possess special abilities, also soldiers loyal to the Emperor?

This thought appeared in the Cadian soldier's mind for only a fleeting moment before being cast aside, as they focused on dealing with the approaching Zerg.

"Strange, although the numbers are high, they are all small Zerg; there are no Blue Slime bugs or large Zerg like I've seen before."

Yingzhou watched the surging Insect Tide on the battlefield like ocean waves, muttered to himself in confusion, and then saw a communications soldier rush hurriedly in front of Yingzhou, unable to catch their breath, and speak loudly in a hurried tone.

"Chief, the 95th Corps No. 3 Position is under fierce attack by the Zerg, and the neighboring 2nd Position and 4th Position have also been affected, making it difficult to provide support to the 3rd Position. Many large Zerg have appeared there, and the Commander there, Wu Qihao, has requested support from the Military District. The Military District has already dispatched your 3,000 soldiers and ordered the surrounding unaffected positions to send a portion of their forces to support the 3rd Position at the center."

As expected, the Zerg here are feinting; I said that with this level of attack, even without the help of Cadian soldiers, it could be defended, though it would just be more difficult than it is now.

Thinking of this, Yingzhou no longer hesitated; since it was confirmed there were no problems here, he would hurry to the position where the Zerg were truly attacking.

However, for the sake of caution, Yingzhou still summoned the Vitrian Dragoons to assist the Cadian Shock Troops in fighting the Zerg.

After everything was arranged, Yingzhou arrived at the rear of the position, where a Transport Aircraft was standing by on a wide open space.

Two pilots resting on one side of the Transport Aircraft saw Yingzhou appear, immediately stood up from the open ground beside the aircraft, and saluted Yingzhou.

"Chief!"

"Prepare to head to the 95th Corps No. 3 Position, go directly!"

Yingzhou gave the order concisely; seeing Yingzhou's solemn expression, the two pilots boarded the Transport Aircraft immediately and opened the aircraft's hatch.

Yingzhou, having entered the Transport Aircraft, muttered to himself after hearing the roar of the aircraft's engines.

"Do you still think humans today are as easy to manipulate as before? This time, I'll let you know that humanity is gathering strength and preparing for revenge! Wait to die, all of you!"

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region.

At this moment, Lu Zhenda was pacing anxiously in the communications department, waiting for news from the 95th Corps No. 3 Position.

Just this morning, Lu Zhenda had received over twenty communications from various Legions; they had all been attacked by the Zerg, but because the Zerg's attack intensity was low, Lu Zhenda only let the Legion Commanders decide for themselves and wait for large Zerg units to appear before requesting support from the Military District.

Afterward, he received more than ten more Legion communications, but they were all routine Zerg attacks without much pressure, until the communication from the 95th Corps No. 3 Position arrived.

Originally, Lu Zhenda thought it was a routine Zerg attack like the other Legions, but the content of the communication made Lu Zhenda's previously relaxed nerves tense up.

【I am the Commander of the 95th Corps No. 3 Position—Wu Qihao. Now, there is abnormal movement at the Hatchery in front of our position. Large Zerg visible to the naked eye are following the Insect Tide to launch an attack on our position, and the opponent's offensive momentum is great. The scope of the Insect Tide is very likely to affect the two surrounding positions. We will fight to the death to hold the position, but please, the Military District must send support to us.】

Seeing this communication, Lu Zhenda's breathing became rapid, and he immediately said to the communications soldier in front of him.

"Send this communication to the 31st Corps! And I have already dispatched 3,000 Cadian soldiers from the Military District to support."

"Yes!"

After Lu Zhenda finished speaking, he hurriedly left the communications department and found the Cadian Lieutenant who was training new recruits in the New Recruit Training Camp.

"Hello, Lieutenant, there is an emergency. Now I need you to assemble the soldiers, as fast as possible, assemble right there at the Airport!"

The Cadian Lieutenant, who was training new recruits, saw Lu Zhenda's anxious expression and did not say much, nodding in response.

"Understood, I will have the soldiers assemble there at the fastest speed."

This was something Yingzhou had told this Cadian Lieutenant a long time ago: if this Lu Zhenda came to them with an emergency, they must obey his orders.

"New recruits, don't slack off on your daily training; I will check your training results when I return!"

"Yes!"

Soon, in various Training Camps in the Outer City, the Cadian soldiers training the Outer City residents received orders from their superior; without a moment of hesitation, every Cadian soldier packed their equipment at the fastest speed and ran quickly toward the Transport Aircraft already prepared for them in the Outer City.

"Huff... huff... what happened?"

Kusake watched the Cadian soldiers who had been training them pack their equipment and leave the Training Camp, then asked a resident beside him who was also panting heavily.

"Huff... huff... I... I don't know. It looks like something happened. Could it be the Zerg?"

Hearing "Zerg," Kusake's body couldn't help but tremble; it was said that those Zerg were things even soldiers who had awakened a Back Spirit had to fight carefully, and one would die if they were the least bit careless. Although these Cadian soldiers didn't look physically weak, they didn't have the power of a Back Spirit; were they not afraid of the Zerg?

As he spoke, Kusake slowly stood up, feeling the changes in his body; although not very obvious, Kusake could already feel that his physical fitness was completely different from before, much stronger than it used to be, and he was full of admiration for that Military District Chief, the Emperor whom these Cadian soldiers spoke of.

Only by knowing more did he admire that Emperor all the more; everything he did was with the thought of allowing humanity to survive in this war of racial extinction, and he treated them, these Outer City residents, as human beings.
