Chapter 401: Beast Race Unusual Movements
Fourth Defense Zone Outer City.
Kelin looked at Xindi and Kaxi sitting opposite him, his expression stern and his tone low as he spoke.
"Yingzhou is not in the Ninth Defense Zone. The Ninth Defense Zone was attacked by the Zerg, and he has taken troops to resist the Zerg."
Upon hearing this news, Xindi's expression became even more solemn. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke.
"The number of Beast Race attacking this time is clearly a large force, unlike the small skirmishes before. When the Fourth Defense Zone was nearly breached last time, it could no longer withstand another large-scale attack. Even with the addition of the ordinary soldiers Yingzhou trained previously, it is still somewhat difficult to resist the incoming Beast Race now."
Hearing Xindi's words, Kelin took a deep breath and spoke to persuade her.
"The Ninth Defense Zone is currently actively contacting Yingzhou. We can only hold out here; we cannot let the Fourth Defense Zone, which has only just restored some order in these past few years, be captured by the Beast Race again like this. That painful memory is enough to have experienced once."
"I will defend the Outer City to the death, only hoping that Yingzhou can send troops to support us before the Outer City is breached."
Speaking to this point, Xindi's eyes were filled with determination as she slowly stood up, preparing to leave Kelin's office.
Just as Xindi's right hand touched the doorknob, Kaxi behind her spoke.
"Also, Fang Yue, the representative of the Workers Association of the Fourth Defense Zone, came to see me before, saying that if there are insufficient defensive personnel, the workers of the Fourth Defense Zone will also pick up rifles and go to the battlefield to fight for the Emperor's great goal."
"At least at the beginning, we do not need them to fight yet. Those ordinary soldiers on the battlefield have also gained some battlefield experience after several small-scale battles with the Beast Race. Tell him, thank him for his kindness, but we can still hold on for now."
Xindi turned back to look at Kaxi and replied.
"Alright, I will convey your meaning."
After Xindi left the administrative headquarters of the Outer City, she only felt pressure sweeping over her entire body again, pressing down on her until she could hardly breathe.
The Beast Race attacking this time were more numerous and stronger than the last time. Although there was no problem with weapons and equipment on her side, the shortage of population was a problem left over since driving away the Beast Race last time. It was just that when the main force of the Beast Race went to fight the Zerg, her side had gained a chance to catch its breath.
However, even if the population had increased in these few years, the newly born children could not go to the battlefield at all; it would take at least a few more years.
Returning to the Outer City Military District, Xindi saw Fang Yue of the Workers Association saying something to the sentry, and it seemed he was quite anxious.
Upon seeing Xindi, the sentry immediately saluted and said to Xindi.
"Chief! Representative Fang Yue has something to see you about!"
Fang Yue looked back and, discovering it was Xindi, walked up quickly and said in a hurried tone.
"Chief Xindi, I was just looking for you. I have already roughly understood the matter of the Beast Race wanting to attack the Fourth Defense Zone. Now, the Fourth Defense Zone is adopting the Emperor's idea of recruiting ordinary soldiers, and there are not as many qualified people as imagined.
Now that the Beast Race wants to bring pain and disaster to the Fourth Defense Zone again, I will absolutely not agree! My life was saved by the Emperor, and everything I do is for the Emperor's ideals, to unite the workers and contribute strength to the development of the Fourth Defense Zone."
Speaking to this point, Xindi reached out to interrupt Fang Yue's words.
"Representative Fang Yue, I know what you mean, but letting workers without combat experience go to the battlefield is sending them to their deaths. Although the Military District is short of personnel now, it has not reached that point yet.
If it really reaches that point, you don't need to remind me; I will naturally gather those in the Fourth Defense Zone who can fight and defend against the Beast Race to the death!"
"We have already sent our request to the Ninth Defense Zone and believe there will be a reply soon. What we need to do now is to hold our respective posts; you all produce at full capacity to cooperate with our combat needs on the front line."
Do you understand what I mean by saying this? I also do not wish for the Beast Race to bring disaster back to the Fourth Defense Zone again."
Fang Yue was interrupted by Xindi's words. After listening to Xindi, he was silent for a few seconds, finally nodded, and said.
"Alright then, we can enter the battle at any time. Many of the fellow workers have signed up for the army before, but they didn't enter the troops for various reasons. We are also a part of the Fourth Defense Zone, humans saved by the Emperor; we cannot let the land the Emperor once saved be taken by the Beast Race again!"
"I understand your feelings. It's almost evening; do you want to have a meal before leaving?"
Hearing Xindi's invitation, Fang Yue shook his head slightly and refused.
"No, I still have to return to the Production Zone. The fellow workers there are still waiting for me to go back and tell them the latest news."
"Hmm, alright then, I won't keep you."
After Fang Yue left, Xindi returned to her command tent, looking at the various defensive points and the distribution of weapons and equipment on the map in front of her, thinking about whether there were any loopholes left.
It was not until dark that Xindi rubbed her somewhat sore eyes and walked out of the tent, just in time to see her Guard running toward here in a hurry.
"Chief! There is unusual movement from the Beast Race 120km away; they have started to advance toward us."
Upon hearing this news, Xindi's face, which had been weary, instantly became solemn. She quickly walked back into the tent, looked at the map on the table, thought for a moment, and spoke.
"Notify the soldiers on duty tonight to stay alert. Once they discover the Beast Race's movements, sound the alarm immediately. Also, tell the other soldiers to stay alert tonight and be ready for battle at any time!"
The Guard stood at attention, saluted, and said.
"Yes!"
As Xindi's orders were issued layer by layer, the various defensive points on the walls of the Outer City also became lively. The Human Alliance soldiers on duty tightened their nerves, gripped the combat rifles in their hands, and looked into the pitch-black night below.
"Xiaodong! Do you think the Beast Race will attack tonight?"
A Human Alliance soldier on duty entered the defensive point and asked the young soldier who was observing the outside with thermal imaging.
The young soldier called Xiaodong shook his head and said.
"How would I know? The Chief said the Beast Race has unusual movements; at least there is no problem with the current situation. Where is Company Commander Han Li? Where did he go?"
"The Company Commander went to the outer sentry point to check if there is any situation; he should be back in a while."
This Human Alliance soldier looked at Xiaodong's strong body and said with some envy.
"Sometimes I really don't understand; you clearly haven't Awakened a Back Spirit, so how can your physical fitness be so good?"
Mentioning this topic, Xiaodong kept his eyes on the thermal imaging screen without moving and replied in a solemn tone.
"That is because I believe in the Emperor, believe that the Emperor can lead us to repel the Beast Race. Moreover, my physical fitness was not high at the beginning; I was even quite weak."
Ever since I was saved by the Emperor and learned of the Emperor's equal respect for us miserable people, I decided that since the Emperor fights for Human Civilization, then I will follow the Emperor and fight for Humanity!"
