Chapter 508: Smooth Advancement

"Boom!"

The muzzle of the Leman Russ Tank's Battle Cannon was smoking, having blasted apart the swarm for the umpteenth time.

After shattering this wave of the swarm, the Cadian Commissar received a communication request from Yuan Yixing.

"We have already advanced 800km, and the soldiers need a rest. Why don't we stop and regroup for a while after destroying the Hatchery in front of us?"

"Hmm, no problem. Lieutenant, notify the troops to rest in place. Send a Kasrkin squad to destroy the Yixing Fuhua Chao."

"Yes!"

Receiving the order, the Cadian Lieutenant acknowledged it and stepped down from the Chimera Armored Vehicle.

Once the order to rest was given, the Cadian soldiers who had been advancing with the armored unit finally had time to replenish some food and rest briefly in place.

Meanwhile, 12 Kasrkin soldiers stepped down from two Chimera Armored Vehicles and walked fully armed toward the Zerg Incubation Nest.

After the Kasrkin soldiers finished installing the Explosive Device, this hundred-meter-tall Yixing Fuhua Chao was quickly swallowed by the explosion, turning into a towering blaze until the Hatchery could no longer support itself and collapsed into a pile of charred waste.

"The 10th Hatchery. Since we set out today, this is already the 10th Yixing Fuhua Chao we've destroyed."

A Kasrkin soldier suddenly spoke up while walking back.

"Indeed, although there have been quite a few Aliens along the way, their strength is not high, and until now, they have only wasted some of our ammunition and food."

Another Kasrkin soldier, clutching his Hellgun, chimed in.

22nd Corps, Position No. 4.

Fang Mingdan gripped his Laser Gun tightly and fired at the swift insects in front.

"For the Emperor! For the Lord of Red Sand! Kill!"

Fang Mingdan and the Reserve Army soldiers of the 2nd Regiment 1st Company he led were currently staring dumbfounded at the War Dog Space Marine who was charging at the very front, wielding a Chainaxe and slaughtering everything in his path.

Just yesterday, Xiao Shengfeng had told Fang Mingdan with excitement that the Emperor had sent 10 War Dog Space Marines to help them push the front line.

At first, Fang Mingdan was as happy as Xiao Shengfeng, but later he learned that only their side had been reinforced by the Emperor with 10 War Dog Space Marines.

The feeling of joy vanished instantly; this indicated that the Emperor believed their side was not capable enough to handle the Zerg front line.

Fang Mingdan did not complain at all. Everything the Emperor did was for Human Civilization. Since the Emperor believed they needed Angels to support them, it proved that they were not strong enough!

Only by striving to become stronger and maintaining Loyalty could they share more of the burden for the Emperor!

Five blue and white figures broke into the Insect Tide in a wedge formation. The screeching of Chainaxes and the roar of Bolters allowed the 5 War Dog Space Marines to tear a hole straight through the Insect Tide.

The War Dog Space Marine at the very front suddenly lowered his body, his 2.2-meter-tall frame avoiding acid projectiles with incredible agility. The crisp sound of his armored knees crushing carapaces made Fenongqiu feel very satisfied.

"Third Tactical Formation!"

Randall's voice suddenly rang out on the public channel.

The War Dog Space Marines suddenly split into three groups. The three in the middle raised their Bolters to unleash fierce firepower on the Insect Tide in front of them, while the War Dog Space Marines on the flanks used their Chainaxes to plow fan-shaped waves of blood into the ground.

Fang Mingdan saw those steel-blade insects that could easily tear apart Polar Armored Vehicles being harvested in swathes like wheat stalks.

Fenongqiu's Chainaxe cleaved into the thick carapace of a dead-servant insect. The nearly six-meter-long body of the dead-servant insect was not split in two; Fenongqiu simply picked up the still-struggling body of the dead-servant insect and used it as a shield to charge forward.

The pale blue plasma hissed as it dripped onto his MK2 Power Armor, but Fenongqiu let out a thunderous laugh, threw the dead-servant insect toward the Insect Tide ahead, and tossed a Fragmentation Grenade.

"327! Randall, you're falling behind!"

The warrior called Randall was currently changing his Bolter magazine.

"Stop playing this game, brother. Do not forget the teachings our father gave us!"

The bolter rounds he fired into the air exploded in the swarm with a brief and brilliant light.

The number of the swarm was dwindling. Having 5 War Dog Space Marines clearing the path in front reduced the pressure on the Reserve Army armored units behind significantly and provided more fire support for the War Dog Space Marines fighting at the front.

Seeing this, Fang Mingdan immediately ordered a charge, and the Reserve Army soldiers erupted with fanatical war cries.

"For the Emperor!"

Fang Mingdan saw Yang Tuo, a recruit from the second squad, pull out an Entrenching Tool and rush forward.

This teenager, who had been trembling at the sight of vomit three days ago, was now roaring the name of the Emperor with bloodshot eyes.

"Maintain formation!"

Fang Mingdan used his rifle butt to wake the loyal, fanatical teenager.

"Do not bring shame to the glory of the Angels!"

As he said this, he caught a glimpse of a War Dog crushing a suicide insect with one hand. Toxic smoke steamed off the MK2 Power Armor from the dark green acidic blood, but the War Dog Space Marine merely shook his hand, paying no heed to the green toxic mist.

As for the Vitrian Dragoons, their speed of advance was clearly faster than that of the Reserve Army soldiers; the 5 War Dog Space Marines in front only needed to keep hacking away with their Chainaxes.

The Vitrian Dragoons fired their Laser Guns from the rear, the maximum-power Laser Beams burning large holes directly into the bodies of the Zerg.

Coupled with the Black Scale Armor worn by the Vitrian Dragoons, even if Zerg attacks hit them, it only made the Vitrian soldiers step back a few paces or at most fall down, especially the high-temperature plasma attacks of the red-bellied insects, which were perfectly countered by the Black Scale Armor of the Vitrian soldiers.

Xiao Shengfeng opened the hatch of the Prowler Tank, poked his head out to look at the Hatchery from which the Zerg were pouring out, and said to Kun Shanmen inside the tank.

"Old Kun, after destroying this Hatchery, this should be the 11th Hatchery we've destroyed today, right?"

Kun Shanmen nodded and replied.

"Indeed, several Hatcheries are connected together, which actually saved quite a bit of time in destroying them."

Suddenly, a powerful energy fluctuation appeared within the Hatchery, causing the surrounding ground to vibrate continuously.

"Randall! There is an anomaly in this Yixing Fuhua Chao! Go! Eliminate the Aliens inside!"

"We don't have psychic powers; wouldn't that be a bit reckless?"

Before Randall could finish speaking, a pitch-black Zerg unit flew out from the Hatchery.

It had a torso structure similar to a Human's, but four pairs of crystallized membrane wings unfolded from its back, and the Energy Force Field around it deflected the Laser Beams fired at it.

Fenongqiu locked onto the target instantly. Inside his MK2 helmet, tactical markers flashed wildly on his retinal projection.

The energy reading of this Alien creature was growing geometrically, and purple electric arcs flickered in the air.

"High-energy unit! Everyone, retreat!"
