Chapter 342: Support Arrives
"Chief!"
After seeing Yingzhou arrive at the position, a signalman trotted over to him.
Yingzhou nodded, his gaze sweeping across the position; only a small number of medics were helping soldiers who had lost arms or legs to mend their wounds, and he began to question the signalman before him.
"Where is your Commander? Have him come to see me."
Upon hearing Yingzhou's words, the signalman spoke to him with a sorrowful expression.
"Reporting to the Chief, the Commander of the 3rd Position died in the Insect Tide just 5 minutes ago. He finally unleashed a powerful strength, his entire body radiating golden light, sweeping through the Alien Race before him. He helped the soldiers on the defense line gain a moment of respite, and in the end, fought until he was exhausted and was swallowed by the Insect Tide."
Yingzhou's brows tightened; so it was the Commander of the 3rd Position he had just used Faith Value to strengthen.
"Then you will report the current battle situation; speak as we walk, and take me to the most intense defense line right now."
"Yes!"
At this moment on the Second Defense Line, under the previous suppression by Wu Qihao, the soldiers within the line took advantage of this opportunity to immediately reorganize the defense and open fire on the Alien Race outside the line.
After Wu Qihao was swallowed by the Insect Tide, the soldiers of the Second Defense Line once again engaged in a slaughter with the surging Insect Tide.
"Go to hell, hasn't our support arrived yet?"
A Human Alliance soldier slashed a Termagant in two with a sword, his voice sounding somewhat drained.
"Soon! Hold on! The Second Defense Line that Commander Wu Qihao guarded with his life must absolutely not be lost just like this!"
Another Human Alliance soldier was changing the ammunition for the Tactical Rifle in his hands when, at this very moment, a head-sized Exploding Bug suddenly appeared before this soldier.
"I really..."
"Boom!"
Following the explosion of the Exploding Bug, the Human Alliance soldier didn't even finish his final curse before becoming a mangled corpse.
"Troops! Open fire! Cadian, stands tall!"
The Cadian Lieutenant was currently behind the defense line, the Bolter Pistol in his hand continuously firing at the nearby Alien Race, and occasionally, flying Winged Bugs of the Alien Race would fly across the sky, but fortunately, the Type 02 Anti-Aircraft Gun in the rear began strafing the moment these Winged Bugs appeared within range, preventing the comrades fighting the Alien Race from being killed by the aliens in the sky.
Although all the soldiers were fighting the Alien Race with all their might, the situation was constantly developing in a bad direction.
On the armored unit side, there were only four Chimera Armored Vehicles and one Prowler Tank left; the offensive of the Insect Tide was becoming increasingly crazy. Previously, a Ravener had burrowed out from underground and directly flipped a Prowler Tank, and many Exploding Bugs had surged out from the tunnel, catching the armored unit off guard.
Although this Ravener was killed by the Multi-laser on the turret of a Chimera Armored Vehicle, the overturned Prowler Tank was destroyed by the Exploding Bugs crawling out from the tunnel. Although a single Exploding Bug could not blow open the armor of a Prowler Tank, the number of Exploding Bugs crawling out from the tunnel was countless, and they kept detonating the exposed chassis of the Prowler Tank.
"Damn it, this Alien Race has too many tricks. Now we are the only tank left, and two of the armored vehicles summoned by the Chief have also been blown up!"
Inside the Prowler Tank, the gunner looked at the Insect Tide outside and said in a somewhat panicked tone.
"Don't give up, we are only the first batch of support troops; the Military District will definitely send more support!"
Seeing this, the tank commander immediately spoke to encourage everyone, and just at this moment, the driver suddenly spoke up.
"Do you feel the ground behind us shaking?"
"It seems to be shaking, what happened behind us?"
As the rumbling grew louder, the few Human Alliance soldiers inside the Prowler Tank even heard battle cries.
"For the Emperor!"
"For Atilla!"
A row of Krieg Cavalry could be seen riding Biochemical Warhorses, galloping at the very front; they leveled the Hunting Spears in their hands and charged at the Insect Tide in a single line. Following behind the Krieg Cavalry were nearly 5,000 Atilla Cavalry, who let out a series of battle cries as they followed the Krieg Cavalry toward the tidal Insect Tide.
A burst of dense artillery fire rang out, and as the Rune Bullets traced arcs through the air, they hardly needed much calibration of their approximate positions to let every shell exert its due power.
Nearly a hundred Basilisk Self-Propelled Artillery pieces opened fire on the Insect Tide from the rear, like stones splashing ripples in a lake, only here, what splashed up were either fragments of the Alien Race or blown-up soil.
The Cadian soldiers inside the Chimera Armored Vehicles saw the charge of the Krieg Cavalry and Atilla Barbarian Cavalry and directly stepped on the gas, causing the Chimera Armored Vehicles to begin advancing toward the Insect Tide. The Multi-lasers on the turrets and the Heavy Bolters fired from the armored vehicles continuously cleared out the Alien Race trying to get close, clearing more open space for the cavalry charging behind.
As the Hunting Spears in the hands of the Krieg Cavalry pierced into the bodies of various insects in the Insect Tide, the violent explosions blew the pierced Alien Race directly into fragments, and the impact force of the Biochemical Warhorses directly knocked dozens of Termagants flying.
"Charge formation, don't break ranks!"
An Atilla officer charging at the very front shouted loudly, and the Atilla Barbarian Cavalry began to line up into triangular formations, following the Krieg Cavalry into the Insect Tide. For a time, the explosions at the very front of the Insect Tide were continuous, mixed with the battle cries of the Atilla warriors.
"Commander, those are cavalry, right? How dare they charge into the Insect Tide?"
Seeing this, the commander of the Prowler Tank immediately gave an order.
"Quick! Follow those armored vehicles! If those cavalry dare to charge directly at the Insect Tide, what the hell are we afraid of!"
"Yes!"
Just as the Prowler Tank started up, a shout came from behind.
"Tank in front, pay attention, don't block the road, let us pass first!"
An officer wearing a bright uniform climbed out from the top of a Chimera Armored Vehicle and shouted at the Prowler Tank that was somewhat in the way.
Seeing this, the commander inside the Prowler Tank opened the hatch on top of the tank and saw nearly 30 Chimera Armored Vehicles driving over, among which were mixed 8 Leman Russ Tanks that were a size larger than the Prowler Tank.
"If you want to kill the Alien, just follow behind us, don't block the way."
The Modian Lieutenant spoke to the tank commander with a serious expression. Seeing the situation of these armored units, the tank commander had no choice but to have the driver pull the Prowler Tank to the side so as not to block this torrent of Steel from going to kill the Alien Race.
"My god, are those all soldiers summoned by our Chief? Doesn't that mean the Chief has come too? It really is just like the rumors, the Chief can summon an entire army by himself. He is worthy of being the Chief; he is so strong that he doesn't even seem like a Human."
Returning inside the Prowler Tank, after having the driver steer the Prowler Tank to make way for the torrent of Steel behind, the driver couldn't help but exclaim.
"Alright, hurry up and follow this armored unit, we have to avenge our fallen comrades!"
The tank commander patted the driver on the shoulder and said in a solemn tone.
"Yes!"
