Chapter 463: Adding an Insurance Policy

Ninth Defense Zone Military Headquarters.

"Yingzhou, the 46th Legion is currently under attack by the Zerg, and the troops at other positions have also begun to advance toward Zerg Territory; the surrounding legions are doing the same.

For some reason, it feels like the main force of the Zerg has diminished significantly; most of what remains are just some Zerglings, Banelings, and Hydralisks."

Lu Zhenda found a document from a pile of papers at this moment and relayed its contents to Yingzhou, who was standing before him.

After hearing Lu Zhenda's words, Yingzhou pondered for a moment and said.

"Could it be that the main force of the Zerg has all gone to attack the 46th Legion's No. 7 Position? That shouldn't be right; the number of people there doesn't seem sufficient for that."

At this time, Horus poked his bald head out from a stack of documents, mimicked Yingzhou's habitual gesture, cleared his throat, and said.

"Ahem, Mr. Lu Zhenda, Father, I have a different perspective."

Yingzhou and Lu Zhenda's gazes turned to Horus simultaneously, especially Yingzhou, who wanted to see what kind of insights the former Warmaster Horus might have.

"Horus, tell us your thoughts."

After hearing Yingzhou's words, Horus looked up at the two of them and said.

"In fact, the previous battles between the Zerg and the Beast Race indicate that these Aliens invading our world are not a monolith; they also erupt into conflict and wage war against each other."

Having said this, Horus paused before continuing.

"The Zerg are ignoring our actions of pushing the front line and reclaiming territory, which means they have more important matters to deal with at this moment, hence why they have overlooked our existence."

Upon hearing Horus's words, Yingzhou raised an eyebrow and said to Lu Zhenda beside him.

"Lao Lu, what do you usually have Horus doing?"

"In the first few days after he arrived, I had him help organize the battle data between the Military District and the Alien Race; he must have learned this information from there."

Hearing Lu Zhenda's reply, Yingzhou thought to himself.

No wonder he could know this; to infer such a situation just from those documents, he is truly worthy of being the Warmaster Horus, truly worthy of being the Great... ahem...

Feeling his thoughts drifting, Yingzhou hurriedly composed himself and said to Lu Zhenda.

"Lao Lu, this idea Horus proposed is very likely. Have the other legions pay attention to the lack of Zerg main forces while they advance the front line."

"Understood, I will have the various Legion Commanders keep an eye on it."

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, followed by a knock on the door. After receiving the order to enter, a Human Alliance communications soldier entered the office and said to Yingzhou.

"Emperor, news has come from the 46th Legion's No. 7 Position: the Zerg's thick fog has appeared, and it is expected to reach the designated combat position in 21 minutes."

After hearing the news brought back by the communications soldier, Yingzhou immediately said to Lu Zhenda beside him.

"Issue the order to begin advancing the front line, and keep an eye on the movements of the Zerg within the range of each legion."

"Understood."

Just after the communications soldier left, Yingzhou suddenly received the system's task notification sound.

【Task: Eliminate the Black-Winged Bugs about to appear at the 46th Legion's No. 7 Position.】

【Task Reward: 1 Random Legion Summoning.】

"Hmm?"

Horus, hearing Yingzhou's movement, looked toward him. Yingzhou, noticing Horus's gaze, cleared his throat and explained.

"It's nothing, you continue helping Lao Lu."

Once Horus's attention returned to the work in his hands, Yingzhou began to calculate the task at hand.

Black-Winged Bugs; he remembered that the last time he encountered this type of Zerg, he suffered quite a loss. It was, to date, one of the few crises that threatened his life.

If it weren't for the Emperor's Psionic Flame, he might have already transmigrated again or died completely.

That shell, which even a Chainsword could barely cleave through, and the energy force field around its body, had truly caused him a lot of trouble.

Then he would send the Grey Knights; the energy force fields on those Black-Winged Bugs did not seem to repel Spiritual Power-type attacks very significantly.

Thinking of this, Yingzhou immediately stood up and said to Lu Zhenda.

"Lao Lu, arrange a Transport Aircraft to the 46th Legion. I'm afraid there's going to be some trouble there; I need to add an insurance policy."

Lu Zhenda poked his head out from the pile of documents and looked at Yingzhou in confusion.

"Didn't we just send Krieg soldiers with Basilisk Self-Propelled Artillery there? Why do we still need a Transport Aircraft?"

"This isn't something I can explain in a moment. Just arrange it now; I'm heading straight to the Landing Pad."

Lu Zhenda watched Yingzhou's hurried back as he left. Although his heart was full of confusion, he still followed Yingzhou's request and had the Airport dispatch a Transport Aircraft.

By the time Yingzhou arrived at the Airport, a soldier wearing a Human military uniform stepped down from a Transport Aircraft, trotted over to Yingzhou, saluted quickly, and said in an excited tone.

"Emperor, I am under orders to wait here for your command and fully support your operation."

Yingzhou nodded slightly and, without changing his pace, said to the Transport Aircraft pilot behind him.

"Fly the Transport Aircraft directly to the airspace above the 46th Legion's New Position 7, then just open the cabin door. Once the people inside jump out, you may return.

Don't worry about the Zerg's flying units; the Anti-Air Cannon there will cover you."

Upon hearing Yingzhou's instructions, the Transport Aircraft pilot immediately replied.

"Rest assured, Emperor, I will certainly complete the mission according to your requirements!"

Having said this, the Transport Aircraft pilot returned to his cockpit and opened the rear cabin door of the Transport Aircraft.

As for Yingzhou, he summoned the three Grey Knights he had kept in reserve.

As soon as the three Grey Knights appeared, they respectfully knelt on one knee and said in unison.

"Emperor!"

"Yes, your mission is to air-drop after the Transport Aircraft reaches the battlefield. Prioritize killing the Aliens that are pitch-black all over and have an energy force field around them. Those Aliens are thrown by the enemy to break through our positions.

Remember, you must prioritize killing those pitch-black Aliens!"

Upon hearing Yingzhou's words, the three Grey Knights replied in unison once more.

"Obeying your will, we shall bring death to those Aliens and let the Aliens know your wrath."

"Good, board the craft. I shall witness your Loyalty and valor!"

Fannidike slowly stood up and boarded the Transport Aircraft with his two brothers; not until the Transport Aircraft's hatch closed did Fannidike slowly speak to the two brothers beside him.

"The Emperor personally sent us onto the Transport Aircraft; he must value us highly. Once we arrive at the battlefield, slaughter the Alien! Leave none alive!"

As he spoke, a flash of azure light flickered beneath Fannidike's sharp-featured, silver-white helmet.

The other two Grey Knights also replied in unison.

"Slaughter the Alien! For the Emperor!"
