Chapter 449: War Hounds

Just after Yingzhou told Dabeiwenqiao and Taigehe'er to remain here and follow Vulkan's orders, the system's prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

【Conditions for summoning Angron's progeny have been met; you may now summon 30 War Hounds Legion Space Marines.】

【War Hounds Legion Task triggered.】

【Kill the enemies of other factions and eradicate their race on this planet.】

【Note: The campaign must involve War Dog Space Marines, and they must account for no less than 50% of the total enemy kills after joining the battle.】

【Task Reward: 1 Random Draw.】

Upon seeing this system prompt, Yingzhou raised an eyebrow, a burst of wild joy in his heart.

This way, he could have the Salamanders warriors attack the Beast Race in the Fourth Defense Zone, while Angron's War Hounds Legion would continue to push into Zerg territory in the Ninth Defense Zone.

Thinking of this, Yingzhou decided to return to the Ninth Defense Zone immediately; his purpose for coming to the Fourth Defense Zone had been achieved, and the rest could be left to Vulkan and Kelin. Furthermore, with the Fortress Barracks serving as a source of reinforcements for the Fourth Defense Zone, the defensive strength of the Fourth Defense Zone had been greatly improved.

"Hmm, time to go back. Let the War Hounds Legion participate in the campaign where the Valhallan Ice Warriors are eradicating the Frost Alien Race; that way, this task can be completed. The Frost Alien Race should only have this one territory, right? Whatever, I'll fight them first and worry about it later. Can any alien race that comes to invade be anything good?"

Having made his decision, Yingzhou soon found Kelin. While explaining to Kelin that he was returning to the Ninth Defense Zone, Yingzhou also jokingly remarked.

"Kelin, I hope that the next time we meet, it will be our two troops fighting against the Alien Race together on the battlefield, wiping out all those aliens who invaded us!"

"Hahaha, then I truly look forward to the arrival of that day."

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City Headquarters.

After Angron learned that his progeny would be going to the battlefield where the Valhallan Ice Warriors were located, he thought for a few seconds before speaking to Yingzhou, who was sitting across from him.

"Father, may I see my progeny?"

Hearing this request from Angron, Yingzhou raised an eyebrow, as if recalling something interesting, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"No problem, let's go, we're heading to the Training Camp in the Outer City."

The two arrived at the nearest Training Camp, where many residents were undergoing training. When they saw Yingzhou and Angron arrive, a significant commotion broke out.

"It's the Emperor!"

"And Lord Angron!"

Yingzhou found the Cadian squad leader at this Training Camp and said.

"I need you to temporarily evacuate the personnel from this Training Camp, including the camp soldiers. Have the soldiers wait outside and do not let anyone enter this Training Camp."

Upon hearing Yingzhou's words, this Cadian squad leader immediately replied in a resonant, powerful voice.

"Please rest assured! We will definitely not let any outside residents come near this area!"

When the residents inside the Training Camp learned that the Emperor needed to use this Training Camp temporarily, they did not even need the Cadian squad leader to supervise them; they all left the Training Camp one after another.

This made the Cadian squad leader feel a sense of relief; he had thought that dispersing these civilians would be very troublesome.

Soon, only Yingzhou and Angron remained in the Training Camp. Yingzhou used his Spiritual Power to create a wall, then began to summon the War Dog Space Marines.

When the 30 War Dog Space Marines appeared, Yingzhou looked curiously toward Angron and the War Dog Space Marines, wanting to see what kind of sparks would fly between the two sides.

The scene that occurred when Vulkan first met the Salamanders Space Marines was just as Yingzhou had imagined; after all, the relationship between the two sides, even in the stories of his past life, was much the same as the current situation.

As for Angron's side, this time Angron had not been implanted with the Butcher's Nails, and his life environment from childhood to adulthood was similar to Vulkan's, which made Yingzhou inevitably curious.

Seeing Angron, who was wearing a brown robe with muscles that stretched the fabric, the 30 War Dog Space Marines all knelt on one knee, saying with excited tones.

"Father! Are you well?"

Angron was in the middle of pondering how he should speak when he was stumped by this question from his progeny.

What the hell? Are you well? Does my state look very unwell?

Seeing this, Angron lightly clenched his right fist, brought it to his mouth to cough twice, and replied in a calm tone.

"I feel that my condition is quite good right now, thank you for your concern."

These simple, easygoing words left the 30 War Dog Space Marines in a state of slight dullness. Although their movements were subtle, Yingzhou, who was watching the drama with great interest on the side, had already noticed. The corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, and his heart was in a state of agitation.

Sure enough, the feeling of watching the drama by oneself is great. Although he couldn't share the joy, seeing this scene was worth it.

At this moment, the War Dog Space Marines were wearing blue and white MK2 Power Armor, with the left shoulder pad imprinted with a pattern of a war dog with its front limbs raised, maintaining a standing posture.

Seeing the easygoing Angron, they were filled with joy. It was only then that one War Dog Space Marine noticed the Emperor standing on the side watching the drama.

They were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly signaled to their other brothers. The 30 War Dog Space Marines saluted Yingzhou, saying in pious tones.

"Emperor!"

Seeing this, Yingzhou found it difficult to continue watching the drama. After dispelling the surrounding Spiritual Power Wall, he coughed twice and said.

"Ahem, although you father and sons have just met and must be very excited, there is still plenty of time. Angron has a task to entrust to you."

Originally, Yingzhou intended to issue this task himself, but then he thought that letting Angron issue the task would also allow for more interaction between father and sons. After all, since they had just met, it would be good to communicate more and build their bond.

At this time, Angron was still pondering the reaction of his progeny just now and the emotional fluctuations that had erupted.

Why did their emotions go from being somewhat low at the beginning to ecstatic later on? Just because they saw his appearance and heard what he said, their emotions had such a big change. Could there be something wrong with his progeny's psychology? After this task is over, he should show them some concern.

Upon hearing Yingzhou ask him to issue the task to his progeny, Angron looked up and pointed his right index finger at himself.

"Me?"

Seeing Yingzhou nod, Angron told the 30 progeny before him the communication he had previously sent to the Valhalla Regiment, and finally added one sentence.

"May you return laden with glory!"

Upon hearing Angron's words, the 30 War Dog Space Marines immediately replied respectfully.

"For the Emperor! For the Lord of Red Sand! We will use the lives of the aliens to prove our Loyalty!"
