Chapter 461: Zerg Invasion

The battle between the two did not last long; in the end, Xiuka fell onto the snow. By this time, both of his arms had been severed, and he did not know where his lower right leg had gone.

At this moment, he had long since lost his previous madness. He looked at the Human standing before him in a thick, heavy coat, his eyes filled with terror.

These Humans are monsters! They must be monsters! How could he have thought of taking them out? They had only come with this many people and had already beaten the Frost Clan into a rout. His side had more than twice the numbers of the enemy, yet he had not expected the other side to display such astonishing combat power on the front lines, and they even had this armored vehicle...

"Wait, I am of the Frost Clan..."

Seeing this Alien speak again, the Valhalla Lieutenant swung the Power Sword in his hand, decapitating Xiuka. He picked up the Frost Long Blade that Xiuka had dropped on the ground, and without even looking at the headless corpse lying there, he returned to the Chimera Armored Vehicle and said to the driver.

"Let's go, we are going to find the main force; their battle should be over as well."

"Yes, sir."

When the Chimera Armored Vehicle returned to the location where the Valhalla soldiers had previously fought the Frost Aliens, only the Valhalla soldiers remained, taking stock of the battle situation.

The Adjutant leading the soldiers saw the Chimera Armored Vehicle appear, lightly stroked his forehead, and said to the Valhalla soldiers beside him.

"Notify the troops, assemble everyone."

"Yes!"

The Valhalla Lieutenant jumped out from the top of the Chimera Armored Vehicle, looked around the battlefield, and asked the Adjutant.

"What is the combat damage report?"

"Sir, 219 killed in action, 136 lightly wounded, and over 2,600 Aliens eliminated."

Upon hearing the Adjutant's words, the Valhalla Lieutenant nodded and said.

"Understood. Tell the troops to move out, continue the advance, and close in on the direction of the other units."

"Yes!"

No. 7 Position of the 46 Legion.

Dong Jian was currently outside the position with the Krieg Commissar, watching the newly reinforced Krieg soldiers. This group of soldiers wearing gas masks was silent as always, with only the sound of synchronized footsteps.

"After the Emperor heard about the situation here, He ordered us to hold the position and draw the Zerg's attention. At the same time, He will have other Legions continue to advance and reclaim territory while the Zerg launch an attack on us."

Upon hearing Dong Jian's words, the Krieg Commissar said in a confident tone.

"This is inevitable. The mission of these troops is to fight for the Emperor's will. Since the Emperor has ordered them to hold the position, they will remain fixed to this position and will not let the Aliens cross their trenches!"

Just then, a Krieg Cavalry Squadron riding Biochemical Warhorses rushed back to the trench. The squadron leader immediately dismounted and hurried to the trench command post.

Seeing this, the Krieg Commissar immediately sensed that something was wrong and said to Dong Jian.

"There must be a situation; have the soldiers prepare for battle."

Dong Jian, who also sensed the abnormality, nodded as well, and the two parted ways.

Dong Jian was methodically directing the soldiers at the position, and they were orderly operating those Earthshaker Cannons.

After some simple adjustments, the muzzles of these artillery pieces were aimed into the distance.

Just then, Dong Jian noticed a thick fog slowly rising on the distant horizon.

This thick fog presented a strange, ink-green hue and was approaching the position where Dong Jian was located at a not-too-slow speed.

At the same time, in the trench in front of the position, Krieg soldiers wearing gray coats and gas masks stood ready.

They stood at their respective battle stations, clutching their Lucius Pattern 98 Lasguns, their eyes beneath their gas masks watching the ink-green fog gradually approaching from the front.

Beside every Krieg soldier, another Krieg soldier stood by, ready at any moment to rush forward and fill the vacancy after a comrade in front sacrificed themselves, fulfilling their duty to the Emperor.

They held their Lucius Pattern 98 Lasguns in their hands, aiming at the fog gradually approaching from the front using the trench. There was a deathly silence in the trench, with only the sound of the Krieg soldiers' slight breathing beneath their gas masks.

At this moment, inside the trench command post, the Krieg Captain was issuing orders.

"Have the Earthshaker Cannons at the rear position ready. Also, move the Anti-Air Cannons to the rear position; there are aerial units among the Aliens, let the Anti-Air Cannons deal with those Aliens!"

"Notify the troops that our mission is to hold the position and try to drag out the time to buy time for the friendly forces at other positions."

This Krieg Captain issued a series of orders. After the orders were finished, the Krieg Captain turned his head to look at the Krieg Commissar and said in a brief tone.

"Anything else to add?"

Upon hearing the Krieg Captain's inquiry, the Krieg Commissar straightened his high-peaked cap and added.

"Let our troops calm down; there are many opportunities to fulfill one's duty to the Emperor, do not be hasty."

Seeing this, the Krieg Captain said to the messenger beside him.

"That is all, go!"

After the Krieg messenger saluted the officer inside the command post, he turned and left.

The fog was getting closer and closer to the trench, and one could even hear the roars of the Zerg coming from within the fog.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The first to open fire were the Hydra Anti-Air Cannons. At this moment, above the ink-green fog, one after another rapidly flying Winged Bugs were approaching the battlefield.

But before they could reach the battlefield, they encountered the interception of the Hydra Anti-Air Cannons. Webs of firepower were woven across the sky, harvesting the lives of the Winged Bugs within.

Once the Winged Bugs were locked onto by the Hydra Anti-Air Cannons, they had no way to dodge and were destined to be blown into fragments.

The Human Alliance soldiers operating the Hydra Anti-Air Cannons felt that the Anti-Air Cannons summoned by the Emperor were simply too easy to use; they locked onto the Winged Bugs in the sky very easily, and the firepower was very intense.

The opening fire of the Hydra Anti-Air Cannons officially raised the curtain on this battle. Seeing that the ink-green fog had reached the position previously agreed upon with the Krieg Commissar, Dong Jian immediately ordered.

"Fire, blast the Zerg in the fog to pieces!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

At the same time, the Krieg Artillery also opened fire, and the Basilisk Self-Propelled Artillery also fired at the Zerg in the fog.

For a time, flames erupted everywhere. Even the ink-green fog was illuminated quite a bit by the firelight within, reflecting the figures of one strange-looking Zerg after another inside.

Seeing the Aliens reflected in the fog by the explosion's firelight, the Krieg soldiers in the trench quickly raised their Lucius Pattern 98 Lasguns and pulled the triggers.

Laser beams shot out from the trench one after another, flying into the fog. Many of the Swift Bugs charging at the very front of the fog were hit by the laser beams and were directly turned into smoking sieves, their corpses trampled into pulp by the Zerg behind them.
