Chapter 388: Great Victory of the Legion

Inside the Zerg Hatchery at this moment, the Dominator Zerg felt that the children sent by its mother to protect it had died, and the tentacles atop its head twitched anxiously.

"How could those two humans have such terrifying energy fluctuations! Humans in the past didn't have such great power! No, I must notify Mother immediately!"

Just as the Dominator Zerg prepared to send a communication, two Grey Knights inside the Hatchery were rapidly approaching its position.

The Dominator Zerg immediately summoned the Carrier Zergs beside it to take it away from the Hatchery.

"Taigehe'er, there is an Alien ahead trying to escape; that should be the mission target!"

"Leave it to me! For the Emperor!"

Taigehe'er's psionic power surged, and he raised the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd with his right hand, severing the flesh masses that tried to block him.

Running faster and faster, Taigehe'er soon caught up to the Dominator Zerg being carried by the Carrier Zergs.

With a swing of the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd, the Guardian Zergs that tried to ambush Taigehe'er were all cut down.

"Slay the Alien!"

As a bolt of Psionic Lightning shot toward the Dominator Zerg, the Dominator Zerg severed its connection with its children and focused all its mental energy to resist this Psionic Lightning.

The Dominator Zerg felt as if its mental energy had been drained, sucked dry by that bolt of Psionic Lightning, and only then did it barely manage to withstand it; but the next second, the glowing azure Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd came straight down from above the Dominator Zerg's head, instantly splitting the Dominator Zerg in two.

Following the death of the Dominator Zerg, the Zerg within the entire Hatchery began to fall into chaos; Dabeiwenqiao walked from behind Taigehe'er and said in a grave voice.

"This Nest has lost the control of its Dominator and will collapse soon; we must evacuate as quickly as possible."

"Understood, no problem, my brother."

At this moment on the main battlefield, Yingzhou discovered that the Insect Tide, which had been surging toward them like a tide just a moment ago, suddenly fell into chaos and began to scatter in all directions, guessing that it was likely the Grey Knights who had killed the Dominator Zerg inside the Hatchery.

"The Zerg's Dominator is dead; they have no organization now, and this is the moment to avenge our compatriots! Destroy them!"

Yingzhou immediately issued his orders, and the Human Alliance Forces and the Catachan toughs following Yingzhou, upon receiving the order, launched an even more violent offensive against the now-disordered Insect Tide.

This caused the Insect Tide, which was already at a disadvantage, to be quickly routed by the Human Alliance side.

One Zerg corpse after another was crushed into pulp by armored vehicles, and the Zerg's blood dyed the land green, with some places even mixed with some red.

Many of the Zerg fleeing in all directions continued to charge along their previous path, but they were met with laser beams and Heavy Bolter rounds that tore them completely to shreds.

Shantan could no longer remember how many Aliens he had killed, only knowing that he had not stopped since the battle began; the Chainsword in his hand swung incessantly, and every slash took the life of an Alien.

"Brother, the number of those Aliens is truly not small; they are everywhere around me. Not far away, a soldier was surrounded by several Aliens. I wanted to save him, but those Aliens killed him too quickly. By the time I got there, he was already dead. In the end, I still didn't manage to save him."

Shantan looked at the brother beside him, reached out to pat his shoulder armor, and said in a low tone.

"This is not your fault; at least we won this battle and avenged the fallen soldiers."

This Salamanders warrior nodded and spoke slowly.

"I know, this is the fate of every warrior."

In the distance, the Attila Barbarian Cavalry rode their respective warhorses, pursuing the fleeing Zerg; the Attilan people were worthy of being born cavalrymen, and few Zerg could escape the pursuit of the Attila Barbarian Cavalry.

The warhorses' hooves had been dyed green, and even the hair on their bodies was stained with quite a bit of Zerg blood.

After routing the Insect Tide, Yingzhou led his troops to the Zerg Hatchery; the five Grey Knights wearing Holy Shield Power Armor, upon seeing Yingzhou leading the troops, swung their Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberds even faster and rapidly approached Yingzhou's side.

When they arrived before Yingzhou, Dabeiwenqiao and the other four Grey Knights knelt on one knee on the blood-stained ground and said piously.

"Emperor, the Alien leader has been judged; the Nest here began to collapse after the Alien leader died."

Yingzhou looked at the three Incubation Nests that had now turned into a pile of rotting meat and issued his order.

"Clear the battlefield, have people sent over from the rear position to build defensive fortifications here; once the defensive fortifications here are completed, we will continue to crusade against the Zerg."

The Deputy Regiment Commander of the 72nd Legion following behind Yingzhou—Taisi—sheathed his Combat Knife and spoke.

"Yes! Emperor!"

Although there were still casualties, they were already more than half less than two years ago, and this was the result of a head-on collision; if they had relied on position defense, the Zerg would have had to commit more troops and cut off the supply support here to have a chance of taking the position.

In this way, even for the territory he recovered later, he would need to build complete supply lines and defensive fortifications, so that if the Alien Race wanted to take a bite, they would have to break a few teeth.

In front of the 3rd Position of the 25th Legion.

Vulkan stood on the position, watching the Cadian soldiers and Human Alliance soldiers standing by in the position, his gaze fixed on the thick fog in the distance.

Vulkan said to the Cadian Lieutenant and the Deputy Regiment Commander of the 25th Legion beside him.

"Execute the task; I am going with my sons to take care of the Alien leader. You just need to hold off the Alien's offensive here; make the Alien feel the difficulty of the attack and keep them committing large numbers of troops."

"Yes! Lord Vulkan, I will let the Alien know what kind of enemy they are facing!"

The Cadian Lieutenant looked at Vulkan with spirited eyes and said in a sonorous and forceful voice.

"Good, then I leave it to you."

After saying this, Vulkan waved his hand, took ten Salamanders warriors, and left the position, heading toward the location where the Transport Aircraft were parked.

After Vulkan's tall figure left, the Deputy Regiment Commander of the 25th Legion—Shanweiyun—asked this Cadian Lieutenant.

"Our defense of this position is no problem, but will your armored units be counter-attacking the Insect Tide in a while?"

The Cadian Lieutenant looked at Shanweiyun, nodded slightly, and replied.

"Yes, have your artillery pay attention to fire support; after the Alien charges over, we will hold for five minutes, then follow the armored units to counter-attack the Alien, forcing the Alien to commit more troops to fight us."

"Didn't Lord Vulkan just say that we only need to hold the position and let the Zerg feel that the attack is difficult?"

As a result, Shanweiyun saw this Cadian Lieutenant with a pious gaze and said in a sincere tone.

"That is because the Emperor once said, 'The best defense is a good offense.' In the past, you were always forced to defend due to various reasons; now it is different. With the Emperor's leadership, plus Lord Vulkan leading the Angels to eliminate the Alien leader, the casualties after the battle starts will definitely be much lower than what you used to defend!"

Upon hearing the Cadian Lieutenant say this, Shanweiyun said nothing more and turned to head to the artillery position to have the artillerymen adjust the gun barrels. There were also some Cadian soldiers operating Earthshaker Cannons, waiting for the order to attack.
