Chapter 450: Sharing the Burden

After Angron and Yingzhou sent these thirty War Dog Space Marines onto the transport aircraft, Angron looked at Yingzhou beside him and asked.

"Father, why do I feel that my progeny's emotions fluctuate so greatly? From deep dejection at the start to ecstatic joy afterward, there is only a gap of ten-odd seconds. Especially after I spoke, they seemed to become even more agitated.

I am a bit worried about them; could it be that they have developed some psychological issues?"

Upon hearing Angron's analysis, Yingzhou suppressed the urge to retort, patted Angron on the shoulder, and said.

"Perhaps they are just excited to see you. Teach them well; I hope you can get along with them harmoniously."

Angron nodded thoughtfully and replied.

"Yes, Father."

"By the way, while I was away these past few days, did anything happen in the Ninth Defense Zone?"

Yingzhou and Angron walked side by side away from the Outer City Landing Pad when Yingzhou suddenly remembered something, patted Angron on the shoulder, and said.

"Yes, Mr. Lu Zhenda came to find me and took Horus to the Military District to help.

The construction of the new city-state will be completed within half a month. The general outline has already appeared, and the most important work now is reinforcing the city walls and defensive fortifications.

Additionally, Daixi, whom you sent to the new city-state, previously held an Awakening Ceremony there and discovered quite a few useful abilities. Daixi is currently registering those awakened residents, and Councilor Jack will formulate a new set of rules targeting residents who have an Awakened Back Spirit but have not joined the Military District, to avoid the collapse of social order."

Upon hearing what Daixi had done in the new city-state, Yingzhou nodded and said.

"Registration is a good thing. Tell Jack not to rush the rule-making, because for now, any resident who has an Awakened Back Spirit will be forced to join the Military District.

The order of the new city-state has just been established; I do not need order to be challenged because of these matters. Although we can suppress such challenges to order, this is, after all, a last resort.

Let them join the Military District first. Later, after Jack's rules are out, we can let some residents who wish to return to the city-state and contribute to the Human race in other ways come back, to see if the system is effective.

By the way, Angron, you will also participate in this matter."

Yingzhou spoke at length, and after listening, Angron looked at Yingzhou and said in a calm tone.

"Yes, Father. Did Vulkan choose to stay in the Fourth Defense Zone?"

"Yes, that place needs him more than the Ninth Defense Zone does. He can accelerate the recovery of the Fourth Defense Zone there and prevent any uncontrollable accidents from occurring in the Fourth Defense Zone."

Regarding leaving Vulkan in the Fourth Defense Zone, whether it was Vulkan himself, Yingzhou, or even the residents of the Fourth Defense Zone, this was something everyone looked forward to, so that the Fourth Defense Zone would not remain in a passive state during the battles against the Beast Race.

Before leaving, he had also organized the Forging Ability obtained from the system lottery into data and handed it to Vulkan. He did not know to what extent his own forging ability would reach, but handing it to Vulkan—his learning ability was certainly stronger than his own.

"That little one, Yingxin, hasn't seen Vulkan for a while and has been missing him."

Hearing Yingzhou's answer, Angron suddenly remembered that his little sister had been asking him where Vulkan had gone these past few days, and said with some emotion.

Hearing Angron say this, Yingzhou laughed heartily, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then slowly said.

"Hahaha, that's normal. But Vulkan can't come back yet; it will have to wait for a while."

Extreme Cold Zone.

At this moment, the Frost Leader's expression had turned somewhat ugly. Upon learning that besides the one Human unit that entered his territory from the front, two other units had entered the territory from the steep snowy mountains on both sides!

"That idiot Saijia! He mobilized all the nearby patrol squads to attack the Human unit entering the territory—that was clearly a Human decoy unit, and he actually fell for it!

Those Humans are truly cruel to their own companions, letting that unit with such tenacious fighting will charge at the very front; what a waste!"

The Frost Leader looked gloomily at the footage Saijia had sent back, gripped the armrests of the Frost Throne tightly with his thick hands, and said in a low tone.

Seeing his father's gloomy face at this moment, Xiuka pondered for a few seconds, then knelt on the ground and said to the Frost Leader.

"Father, I request to lead our soldiers to wipe out all the Humans who have invaded our territory."

Hearing Xiuka say this, the Frost Leader took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and slowly said to Xiuka.

"Saijia has already requested reinforcements from the border barracks and dispatched 【number】 Frost Warriors to wipe out the Humans who entered first. These Humans' weapons are indeed strange; after wiping them out, seize the weapons and let me have a look.

Xiuka, since you are so eager to share my burdens, then you take 5,000 Frost Warriors and go intercept the Human unit that entered from the right side of the valley."

Hearing the number of troops the Frost Leader gave him, Xiuka lowered his head to thank him, but the moment he lowered his head, the expression on his face appeared extremely gloomy.

This old immortal only gave him 5,000 Frost Warriors, while Saijia had mobilized 【number】 Frost Warriors. Could it be that in his heart, his own ability was not as good as Saijia's?

However, he did not dare to resist like this for now; he could only go to the barracks to mobilize the 5,000 Frost Warriors first.

"As you command, Father. I will definitely make those Humans regret stepping into our territory and use their lives to wash away the shame left by Saijia!"

Xiuka pressed his forehead against the cold floor of the palace, his snow-white hair fluttering slightly, and said to the Frost Leader in a respectful tone.

The Frost Leader narrowed his eyes, looked at the kneeling Xiuka with a scrutinizing gaze, and said in a flat tone.

"Mm, go. Gaining some experience is quite good. It just so happens that the number of Humans in the unit on the right side this time is relatively small; you going is just right..."

The Frost Leader's words paused here, and then he changed the subject and said.

"Xiuka, you must understand my painstaking efforts. Giving you 5,000 Frost Warriors is precisely so that others can see that you, Xiuka, have great strength and great ability to lead troops, so that in the future, when you govern our country, you will be able to command respect.

Do not think that Father is targeting you. You are my eldest son; could I harm you?"

The Frost Leader's words made Xiuka thank him again.

"Thank you, Father, for considering things so thoroughly for me. I will definitely not fail the mission and will keep those Humans in our territory."

"Mm, go!"

Not until Xiuka had left did the expression on the Frost Leader's face return to calm, his gaze fixed on the direction in which Xiuka had departed.
