Chapter 416: Artillery Positions

When Diwanhu arrived at the Rune Automatic Cannon formation, he saw Maike chatting and laughing with a group of Priest Apprentices, occasionally stuffing a piece of fatty meat into his mouth.

When those Priest Apprentices saw Priest Diwanhu walking behind Lord Maike, the smiles on their faces gradually stiffened, and they began to silently pick at the meat in their bowls.

Sensing that the atmosphere was off, Maike drank the meat soup in his bowl in one gulp, placed the bowl on the ground, stood up slowly, looked back, and revealed a smile on his face.

"Diwanhu, you've come? Have you eaten? If not, there is still some here."

Diwanhu shifted his gaze from Maike's face to the large pot, where only some leftovers remained, shook his head, and said in a flat tone.

"Forget it, let's hurry up and get to work."

"Fine, follow me."

Maike wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and led Diwanhu away from the place where the Priest Apprentices were eating.

As they walked, Diwanhu looked at the Rune Automatic Cannons, which were completely different from the previous Rune Cannons, and said to Maike with a tone of emotion.

"Maike, sometimes I really admire you for being able to directly create energy cannonballs formed by Rune Power, which completely phased out the Rune Cannons we had been using since we arrived in this world."

Maike puffed out his chest slightly, feeling very satisfied with Diwanhu's praise, and spoke to Diwanhu.

"Phased out might be too strong a word; it's more of an improvement. Of course, this is inseparable from some experiences I've had. Without those experiences, the Rune Automatic Cannon would not have come into being."

Diwanhu leaned on his cane with his right hand, kept his pace close to Maike, and asked curiously.

"Experiences? What exactly did you encounter to have such a genius idea?"

Maike, who had been looking smug, had his expression stiffen; he walked to the base of a Rune Automatic Cannon and began to check the condition of the base.

Diwanhu smiled at the corner of his mouth, did not expose Maike's embarrassment, and followed Maike to check the condition of the Rune Automatic Cannon.

It was not until the sky turned dark that Diwanhu finished the inspection with Maike, and Diwanhu asked curiously.

"Maike, I just saw that you didn't seem to make any adjustments to the Rune Automatic Cannon. Didn't you say the Rune Automatic Cannon had some small problems?"

"Diwanhu, since they were small problems, I surely solved them before you arrived. We can start attacking the Fourth Defense Zone normally tomorrow."

Diwanhu looked at Maike's smiling face; although his heart was in turmoil, the expression on his face did not reveal his inner emotions.

"Since that is the case, Maike, then I will leave first to prepare for the army's attack tomorrow."

"Sure, go ahead."

After Maike watched Diwanhu leave, he said to the Priest Apprentices who were cleaning up the large pot.

"Watch this place well; nothing can go wrong here."

"Don't worry, Lord Maike. Those Two-legged Sheep were beaten into such a state by us today; would they still dare to come to our territory to make trouble?"

A Priest Apprentice with a Two-legged Sheep finger bone hanging around his neck patted his chest and guaranteed to Maike.

After hearing this guarantee, Maike spoke seriously to these Priest Apprentices again.

"Did you not hear what I said? I told you to watch this place well!"

"Yes... yes! Lord Maike!"

Seeing Maike's serious expression, the Priest Apprentice did not dare to say anything more and answered immediately.

The pitch-black night was like a huge curtain, shrouding the entire land. In the Beast Race Army Camp, flickering firelight and blurred figures could be vaguely seen.

Not far from the Beast Race Army Camp, three Kasrkin squads were advancing silently. The Kasrkin Sergeant lay prone behind a low rock, carefully observing the Beast Race camp not far away.

The Kasrkin Second Lieutenant clearly transmitted the order into the ears of every team member through the communication channel: "Attention, ahead is the area where the Alien Army is stationed. Your task is to find and destroy their fire support points. Cadian stands!"

"Cadian stands!" The firm responses of the team members came one after another in the communication channel.

Fourth Defense Zone Military District.

"Eh, what do you need me for?"

Xindi looked at the Kasrkin Second Lieutenant who walked into his tent and asked.

The Kasrkin Second Lieutenant's purple pupils looked at Xindi, who was busy, and he said in a serious tone.

"I heard that when the Aliens attacked, they used a type of energy cannon to assist in the siege?"

"Yes, they carried out two rounds of shelling at that time. The building materials in some parts of the city wall had insufficient Spiritual Power in their Spirit Patterns, so the wall was directly pierced. Taking advantage of the Beast Race's retreat, I have already arranged for people to pull new materials to the city wall, and the gaps should be filled today."

The Kasrkin Second Lieutenant shook his head and said.

"No, I mean, do you know the location of those Alien cannons? I want to send out three squads to destroy the Alien fire support points; we cannot let the Aliens have it too easy."

Upon hearing this, Xindi felt a sense of déjà vu. He looked up at the Kasrkin Second Lieutenant in front of him again, thought for a few seconds, nodded, and said.

"Are you confident in finding the location of those Beast Race cannons?"

"Yes, we are Kasrkin, the elite selected from the Cadian Shock Troops; this is not a problem for us."

Hearing Xindi's words, the Kasrkin Second Lieutenant confidently raised his chin and spoke slowly.

Cadian? Kasrkin? Judging by what he meant, they were indeed elites.

Although Xindi was confused, he still said.

"Alright then, just tell me how I need to cooperate with you, and I will try my best to meet your requirements."

"Thank you, I will report this matter to Lord Vulkan."

The Kasrkin Second Lieutenant turned and left Xindi's tent, returning to the tent where the Kasrkin soldiers lived.

Until the evening, when the Kasrkin Second Lieutenant saw Vulkan appear in the camp, he trotted to Vulkan, saluted properly, and said in a steady tone.

"Lord Vulkan, I talked to Xindi, the commander of the Fourth Defense Zone, about some things today, and I need to report it to you."

Seeing that the Kasrkin Second Lieutenant had come to find him in a hurry as soon as he returned, Vulkan asked.

"What is it?"

After the Kasrkin Second Lieutenant told Vulkan about the matter, he said in a solemn tone.

"Lord Vulkan, this time it is mainly to find the location of the Alien cannons and destroy them. I have already decided on the three squads, and I plan to let these three squads set off after dark in a while."

Vulkan nodded in agreement.

"A good plan; by then, the casualties of the soldiers in the Fourth Defense Zone can be further reduced."
