Chapter 339: It's Reinforcements!

Following the fall of the first defense line, the Zerg attack soon reached the 3rd Position's Second Defense Line. The terrain of the Second Defense Line was significantly higher than the first, slowing the Insect Tide's advance slightly, but for the current state of the battle, this was merely a drop in the bucket.

After being treated by the medic at the position, the shattered bones in Wu Qihao's arm had recovered as if new. Just as Wu Qihao walked out of the medical tent, a soldier ran toward him, saluted, and spoke.

"Commander, other positions of the 95th Legion have dispatched the Reserve Army recently assigned to us by the Military District to support us. A portion of those Reserve Army soldiers have already split off to the artillery position to continue firing at the Zerg with the remaining functional artillery. The rest of the Reserve Army soldiers have arrived at the position and are awaiting your orders. Also, because the number of the Insect Tide is still climbing, the affected area has expanded to 6 positions, and the Zerg attacks are very fierce; it is uncertain whether the offensive will expand further."

"Therefore, each position could only dispatch Reserve Army soldiers to support us here, as we were the first to make contact with the enemy."

"The Regiment Commander has also arranged for three Prowler Tanks to be sent to us; they should be arriving soon."

Just then, Wu Qihao felt a roar of engines from the sky. Nearly 20 Transport Aircraft appeared and slowly descended onto the open ground behind the position.

"Those are the Military District's Transport Aircraft! It's reinforcements!"

Wu Qihao said with some excitement. He walked quickly out of the position and saw a group of soldiers walking down from the Transport Aircraft wearing the same uniforms and Bulletproof Armor as the Reserve Army soldiers, though these soldiers had more accessories, and their helmets were imprinted with a pair of wings with a skull in the middle.

The Cadian Lieutenant walked down from the Transport Aircraft and gave orders to the Sergeants beside him.

"Assemble, troopers! Get the Chimera Armored Vehicles off the transport! We are here to fight the Alien!"

"Yes, Lieutenant!"

After the Sergeants left, the Cadian Lieutenant saw Wu Qihao walking out of the position alone. Judging by the uniform Wu Qihao was wearing, he surmised that the other was the commander of this position, so he walked up and spoke to Wu Qihao.

"By order of the Emperor, we have come to support you. What is the current battle situation?"

Wu Qihao had heard rumors that the soldiers summoned by his own superior would refer to the superior as the Emperor. Although he did not know the reason, this was not a problem Wu Qihao cared about right now.

Wu Qihao spoke in a hurried tone.

"The Zerg attack is very fierce. How many men do you have? What weapons and equipment did you bring? When will subsequent reinforcements arrive?"

"That is not a question we should be concerned about. Our task is to ensure this position is not overrun by those Aliens before the Emperor arrives. Although we only have 3,000 soldiers this time, you can always trust in the Emperor!"

The Cadian Lieutenant patted Wu Qihao on the shoulder and said in a serious tone.

Subsequently, Wu Qihao saw six armored vehicles of an unknown model being driven off several Transport Aircraft. Seeing the soldiers bring down all the weapons and equipment, the Cadian Lieutenant shouted in a booming voice.

"Troopers! Let us bring death to those Aliens! Cadian! Stands!"

Responding to the Cadian Lieutenant were the Cadian soldiers shouting in unison.

"Cadian, stands!"

"Move out!"

Except for the Cadian soldiers driving the Chimera Armored Vehicles, the other Cadian soldiers, led by their respective Sergeants, rushed toward the Second Defense Line where the battle with the Zerg was taking place.

Watching this group of high-spirited Cadian soldiers, Wu Qihao could not help but feel a shock in his heart.

With the addition of these Cadian soldiers, the Second Defense Line might truly be able to hold.

"Commander, the Legion's three Prowler Tanks have arrived, and they also brought 10 Type 02 Anti-Aircraft Guns. The Regiment Commander said they might come in handy; there were many Zerg Winged Insects at the 31st Legion's side before, so we should also keep an eye on the sky."

"Great. Um, we have three Prowler Tanks here; can they operate together with your armored vehicles?"

Upon hearing there were tanks, the Cadian Lieutenant nodded immediately and replied.

"Yes, that will allow our soldiers to reduce some of the pressure."

The Human Alliance soldiers on the Second Defense Line were locked in combat with the Zerg that had rushed before them when they suddenly felt Laser Beams appearing behind them. These Laser Beams easily struck down the Swift Insects that lacked hard carapaces.

Even the Giant Pincer Insects with carapaces could not withstand the attacks of those Laser Beams, lasting at most a few seconds longer than the Swift Insects.

"It's reinforcements! Brothers, it's reinforcements!"

"Great! You damn Zerg, go to hell!"

The Human Alliance soldiers, who had been somewhat exhausted from fighting the Zerg on the Second Defense Line, had their morale greatly boosted upon learning that reinforcements had arrived, and the entire defense line was filled with battle cries.

And the Reserve Army soldiers who had come to support, upon seeing that the reinforcements were indeed Cadian soldiers, shouted even louder.

"For the Emperor!"

Although they did not know the meaning of this phrase, it was what their instructors often said to them at the New Recruit Training Camp.

The Cadian soldiers who came to support saw those Reserve Army soldiers—who were still new recruits just a short time ago—fighting the Alien to the death, and they also responded loudly.

"For the Emperor!"

For a time, on the Second Defense Line, besides the sound of artillery and the roars of the Zerg, the previously chaotic battle cries were gradually replaced by this phrase: "For the Emperor."

The addition of these Cadian soldiers allowed the previously precarious defense line to temporarily stabilize.

"Careful! Zerg Blue Slime is coming! Watch out and take cover!"

A Human Alliance soldier suddenly shouted, but his warning was ultimately a bit too slow. Not many soldiers reacted in time. Those streams of blue, electrified slime fell like a rainstorm, each drop of Blue Slime as large as a fist.

Some Human Alliance soldiers quickly erected a Spiritual Barrier to protect the surrounding Human Alliance and Cadian soldiers. The Blue Slime landed on the Spiritual Barrier, causing the already fragile-looking Spiritual Barrier to flicker, with the risk of shattering at any moment.

Many soldiers were also hit by the Blue Slime, their bodies rapidly vaporized, leaving only a pool of blood to prove that those soldiers had once existed.

After seeing this scene, the Cadian Lieutenant muttered to himself.

"This is... tell the armored units to be careful and avoid being targeted by the Alien's high-power attacks!"

Seeing this, Wu Qihao immediately spoke up.

"Let my soldiers enter your armored vehicles. If the enemy locks onto the armored vehicles, they can also have a certain degree of defensive capability."

The Cadian Lieutenant had just seen the Spiritual Barrier opened by the Human Alliance soldiers, and without the slightest hesitation, he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, let's do that!"
