Chapter 4: Beast Race Assassin

Yingzhou and Bai Tao walked out of the fried chicken shop; both had drunk some alcohol, but Bai Tao did not seem to have a high tolerance, and there were already signs of him starting to talk nonsense.

"Yingzhou! Let me tell you! Once your buddy here makes it big, I'll definitely treat you to the best food and drink."

"Fine, when that time comes, you can take me to success, but for now, how should I get you home?" Yingzhou looked at the rambling Bai Tao and asked helplessly.

As the two passed by a small alley, a sound suddenly came from within.

Yingzhou turned his head to look and discovered a green-skinned woman in the middle of disemboweling a man, but the woman also sensed that someone had discovered her and looked back.

A trace of killing intent flashed in her scarlet eyes as she struggled to pull the knife out of the man's stomach.

Seeing this bloody scene, Yingzhou, out of caution, summoned 5 Krieg soldiers.

Just after he had summoned the Krieg soldiers, the green-skinned woman had already rapidly approached him.

"Go! Take her down!" Yingzhou ordered the five Krieg soldiers to begin firing at the green-skinned woman.

After receiving the order, one Krieg soldier made a few simple gestures, and two Krieg soldiers took the entrenching tools tucked at their waists and charged toward the heretic.

The green-skinned woman climbed onto the nearby wall in a bizarre posture, and the three Krieg soldiers behind quickly locked onto her position and opened fire.

"Zip, zip, zip!" The lasers flew past the woman's body, but because of the restriction of the lasers, the woman fell back to the ground, and the two Krieg soldiers holding entrenching tools struck straight at her head.

"Roar!!!"

The green-skinned woman let out a howl, wanting to intimidate the two strange-looking humans before her. Unfortunately, how could her intimidation compare to the Krieg's Loyalty to the Emperor?

"Squelch."

The sharp entrenching tool sliced her head straight off; the woman's headless body slowly fell to the ground, and green blood flowed from the severed stump.

The battle took only 13 seconds from start to finish before the green-skinned woman was finished off by the Krieg soldiers.

Yingzhou watched the headless corpse fall to the ground, his trust in the combat power of the Krieg soldiers deepening; they were indeed very strong!

Yingfang and Chenjie, who had seen this scene from afar, looked at each other, "What is going on? That Alien Race assassin was killed just like that?"

"Those five soldiers have real skill!" Chenjie exclaimed.

"I don't know if other Orc assassins are also in this area; I have already sent a signal, and the others should arrive soon," Yingfang replied.

"Look, other Orc assassins seem to have appeared too! We had better hurry to help your brother!" Chenjie said, already flashing toward Yingzhou's position.

The three Krieg soldiers beside Yingzhou suddenly sensed someone approaching rapidly and quickly turned their guns; Yingzhou also turned to look.

"Don't shoot! Friendly fire, Yingzhou! Your brother and I are on a Task; have your soldiers watch the surroundings." Chenjie hurriedly raised his hands to show he had no malicious intent.

"He is a friend, watch the surroundings!" Yingzhou gave a new order to the Krieg.

The five Krieg soldiers began to stand guard in all directions.

"Roar!"

A roar came from the shadows, followed by pairs of scarlet eyes looking toward them. This sudden turn of events made the surrounding atmosphere instantly tense.

Chenjie stood his ground without fear, took a deep breath, focused his mind, and began to summon his Back Spirit. Following his summons, a mysterious power surged from within his body and finally gathered on his hands. One could see a pair of extremely sharp power claws gradually emerging in his hands; at the same time, his body muscles also swelled as if inflated, and his whole person looked a size stronger.

"You have already done an excellent job; our reinforcements will arrive soon!" Chenjie walked to Yingzhou and said to him with a firm gaze.

Yingzhou nodded slightly to show he understood.

However, at this moment, he suddenly asked: "Exactly how many of them are there?"

Chenjie pondered slightly and replied: "According to intelligence, they are a group of Orc assassins, probably a 10-man squad. However, you already eliminated one in the previous fight, so there might be nine left. Be careful, they could launch an attack at any time!"

Just as the two were communicating, those Beast Race assassins had already pounced over like hungry wolves. Seeing this, Chenjie hurriedly reminded Yingzhou: "Have your soldiers cover me!" Having said that, he prepared for battle.

Yingzhou immediately issued the order: "Fire!"

Upon hearing the command, the Krieg soldiers quickly raised the laser carbines in their hands and pulled the triggers at those Beast Race assassins. In an instant, five dazzling laser beams intertwined, forming a dense web of fire. Several Beast Race assassins were unable to dodge and were knocked to the ground on the spot.

"Hahahaha, leave the rest to me!" Seeing that the enemy had already lost more than half their number, Chenjie was overjoyed and charged into the enemy ranks with a loud laugh. He moved nimbly through the battlefield, the power claws in his hands flashing with cold light, each strike carrying a fierce offensive. Although the Beast Race assassins were ferocious, they gradually fell into a passive position under Chenjie's fierce attacks.

Not far away, Yingfang also summoned his Back Spirit, which transformed into a bow and arrow, pinning an Orc assassin who was preparing to flee to the wall with a single shot.

When Lu Yu arrived at the scene with an officer, he discovered that the 10-man squad of Beast Race assassins had already been completely wiped out.

"You guys killed these?" Lu Yu's tone carried a trace of surprise.

"Yes, but the most important thing was Yingzhou's five soldiers; those five guns of his have immense power, and one volley of fire wiped out half the enemies. Yingfang and I basically just picked up the scraps," Chenjie looked at Yingzhou with a face full of admiration.

"Yingzhou?" Lu Yu had some impression of this person; he remembered that this child seemed to have awakened his Back Spirit today, and it was a randomly summoned Back Spirit at that, with strength that did not look very strong. It must have been those five weapons that played a role in this narrow space.

Lu Yu walked to Yingzhou's side and praised, "You performed very well; after you graduate from the Lingnengzhe Xuexiao, you will definitely achieve great things!"

"Yes! Thank you, Captain Lu!" Yingzhou stood at attention and replied.

"Yingfang, since the matter is resolved, you are responsible for sending these two students home; we will handle the rest," Lu Yu said to Yingfang, who was standing to the side.

"Yes!" Yingfang saluted Lu Yu, then left with Yingzhou and the already-asleep Bai Tao.

"Brother, did you come back mainly for this Task?" Yingzhou asked after seeing his older brother had already put Bai Tao on his back.

"Yes, we have reached a stalemate with the Alien Race on the front lines. They have started sending out some assassins who can disguise themselves as Humans to enter Human cities and wait for opportunities to cause destruction. This 10-man squad this time counts as a small unit sent to create chaos," Yingfang said, then changed the subject.

"By the way, Yingzhou," Yingfang said to Yingzhou earnestly: "Even if you go to the Lingnengzhe Xuexiao, there won't be any teachers who can teach you, because your Back Spirit belongs to an extremely rare type, and people with similar Back Spirits before didn't have strong power. So, after you go there, you must learn more combat techniques to protect yourself and find ways to improve your Spiritual Power."

Yingzhou looked at his older brother's serious face, nodded, and said: "Don't worry, Brother, I definitely won't let you down! Not only will I drive all those detestable Alien Races out of our homeland, but when the time comes, I will also counterattack their world and let them taste what it's like to be oppressed!"

Hearing Yingzhou's words, which were full of passion and "chuunibyou" energy, Yingfang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha, I didn't expect my little brother to have such ambitions! Well done, let's work hard together to drive those Alien Races out of our homeland!" His eyes flashed with a firm light, as if he had already seen the dawn of future victory.

Yingzhou was infected by his brother's laughter and laughed along, but the determination in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

With his own troop-spawning system, he would be an army of one when the time came; after going back, he would see how to increase the number of times he could summon legions, and then he could try to launch a Great Crusade himself.
