Chapter 410: Kelin's Mindset

Fourth Defense Zone Outer City Wall.

The Salamanders warriors had already dispersed to various battlefields, their chainswords and bolters becoming a nightmare for the Beast Race. Their green armor stood out strikingly amidst the firelight, and their battle cries resounded across the entire wall.

"Bathed in the fires of war, forged on the anvil of battle!"

A Salamanders warrior swung his chainsword, slicing a Beast Race warrior in half at the waist. His movements were clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation. Another Salamanders warrior used his bolter to precisely gun down a Beast Race warrior in the distance, clearing the threat for the Human Alliance soldiers.

Xindi watched the scene before her, feeling both shocked and grateful.

If not for these powerful warriors, they would never have been able to withstand the Beast Race's assault.

A Beast Race warrior lunged from the side at a Human Alliance soldier. He quickly raised his spirit pattern combat knife, barely blocking the Beast Race warrior's rune battle axe.

The Human Alliance soldier, already suffering from excessive consumption of spiritual power, watched the rune battle axe drawing closer and closer, sweat constantly seeping from his forehead.

"Damn it!"

Just at this critical moment, a green figure suddenly appeared beside Xindi.

The roar of a chainsword sounded, the Beast Race warrior's head was instantly severed, and the headless corpse fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"My comrade, are you alright?"

The Salamanders warrior's voice came through his helmet as he pulled the fallen Human Alliance soldier to his feet.

The Human Alliance soldier panted heavily and nodded: "Thanks... I'm fine."

The Salamanders warrior patted his shoulder: "Hold on, the battle isn't over yet."

Just then, the Beast Army outside the wall began to retreat, ignoring the Beast Race warriors on the wall and beginning to withdraw in an orderly fashion toward the main army's position in the rear.

And the Beast Race warriors on the wall, having lost the support of their comrades, were soon wiped out by the Salamanders warriors and Human Alliance soldiers.

Xindi returned her combat knife to its sheath and said, panting, to the Human Alliance soldier beside her.

"Tell the brothers to work hard and clear the corpses on the wall, including those below the wall; we cannot let the sacrifice of those fallen brothers be in vain."

"Yes! Chief!"

Xindi watched the Beast Race troops that had already retreated far outside the wall and let out a sigh of relief.

At least the crisis was temporarily resolved. Hiss... excessive spiritual power consumption, my head is a bit dizzy.

Fourth Defense Zone Outer City Landing Pad.

Three transport aircraft slowly emerged from the gray mist. Kelin watched as the three transport aircraft landed, and from them stepped out Kasrkin soldiers, armed to the teeth and wearing carapace armor.

The leading Kasrkin Second Lieutenant walked up to Kelin and said in a serious tone.

"By order of the Emperor, we have come to assist you in clearing the aliens. How is the current battle situation?"

Kelin extended his right hand, a smile appearing on his face, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Thank you for your support. The Beast Race has temporarily retreated, and the Military District Chief Xindi is discussing matters at the military district with the commander who supported them from the Ninth Defense Zone."

The Kasrkin Second Lieutenant nodded, letting the Kasrkin soldiers who had disembarked from the transport aircraft move out the laser guns brought from the Ninth Defense Zone, and then said to Kelin.

"The Emperor is merciful and has specifically sent us to support you with equipment. These weapons are limited in quantity; you had best hand them to soldiers with rich combat experience to use."

Kelin saw the laser guns being moved down by the Kasrkin soldiers and suddenly remembered that these guns seemed to be the weapons used by those Catachan tough guys with red headbands that Yingzhou had summoned before. These guns were quite powerful; Yingzhou had already taken control of the Ninth Defense Zone.

"Good, I will have people move these weapons off the transport aircraft. How many troops have you brought to support us this time?"

Kelin looked at the four or five hundred Kasrkin soldiers on the transport aircraft and couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.

"Well, a total of 500 Kasrkin soldiers have come to support you. The remaining space was used by the Emperor to have us bring weapons and bulletproof armor to give to those soldiers with firm faith and combat experience. If the soldiers lack combat experience, we will help you train them."

"Thank you so much!"

Upon hearing Kelin's words, the Kasrkin Second Lieutenant shook his head and said.

"You only need to maintain your faith in the Emperor and follow the Emperor's will; the Emperor will not abandon any Human."

After hearing the Kasrkin Second Lieutenant's words, Kelin nodded and said.

"Praise the Emperor!"

He knew very well in his heart that the "Emperor" these soldiers kept chanting about was none other than Yingzhou.

Judging from this incident, once Yingzhou learned of the news here, he not only dispatched elite troops to reinforce them without hesitation at the first opportunity, but also brought weapons and equipment.

All signs indicated that Yingzhou had now successfully risen to become a core high-level figure of the Ninth Defense Zone, and it was even highly likely that he had become—as these soldiers called him—the true "Emperor"!

However, regarding this fact, Kelin appeared quite indifferent, seemingly not caring about it at all.

After all, ever since he personally experienced that brutal battle that nearly caused the entire Fourth Defense Zone to fall into the hands of the Beast Race, some of the concepts Kelin had originally held deep in his heart had already undergone a huge transformation.

He might have once been stubborn about certain principles, but now, he was no longer as obstinate as before.

In this cruel racial war concerning the survival and prosperity of the entire Human Civilization, if one were to still blindly stick to the rules and be constrained by those outdated regulations, merely hoping to save Human Civilization from the depths of misery by following the rules, that would simply be wishful thinking!

If it were really that simple and easy, how could the Human Alliance have fallen into such a state?

Therefore, at this very moment, Kelin understood very clearly that as long as it could ultimately ensure that Human Civilization could survive this war, it was irrelevant to him whether it continued to be led by the Human Alliance or if some so-called dictator emerged.

After a long and intense night of fierce fighting, the entire Fourth Defense Zone was shrouded in tension and fear. Countless residents stared wide-eyed in the darkness, pricking up their ears to listen to the bursts of artillery fire constantly coming from the direction of the distant city wall.

Many residents were unable to sleep all night, tossing and turning in their beds, silently praying that those Human Alliance soldiers could withstand the fierce attack of the Beast Race.

Every sound of artillery was like a heavy hammer striking their hearts; every flash of fire across the night sky seemed like a light of hope gradually fading.

Fang Yue, a representative of the Workers Association, knew the urgency of the situation and had quickly assembled all the workers capable of fighting before dawn.

These workers, who labored diligently on ordinary days, now had flames of anger and determination burning in their eyes, ready at any moment to go to the military district to pick up weapons and engage in a life-and-death struggle with the Beast Race.

Time passed minute by minute, and the artillery fire on the city wall gradually became sparse. At first, one could occasionally hear a few muffled, loud bangs, but as time went on, this sound became weaker and weaker.

Finally, when the last trace of artillery fire disappeared into the night sky, everyone's heart hung in their throats. Everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for that news concerning their fate.

After an unknown amount of time, a burst of cheers suddenly broke the silence. "The Beast Army has retreated!" This exciting news spread quickly through the entire Outer City like a spring breeze.
