Chapter 509: I Have a Different Opinion

The humanoid Zerg raised its scale-covered arm, and five bolts of purple lightning erupted from its fingertips. A Reserve Army soldier was struck in the head by the purple lightning; the entire person was instantly knocked down, their head instantly crushed by the energy, and blood seeped out along their neck.

"Heretic!"

Fenongqiu's chainaxe emitted a bloodthirsty shriek, and his MK2 Power Armor erupted with astonishing strength. As he leaped, he crushed insect corpses, spraying blue-green plasma, and the chainaxe went straight for the humanoid Alien charging toward him.

Fenongqiu struck with all his might, but collided with an invisible barrier three meters away from the humanoid Alien.

The face of the humanoid Zerg split into six scarlet light-slits, emitting a high-frequency vibration similar to human laughter.

Fenongqiu was sent flying by the energy barrier, the chainaxe in his hand nearly slipping from his grip, and the webs of his hands felt somewhat numb.

Seeing his comrade knocked backward by the recoil, Randall immediately threw a Fragmentation Grenade.

The explosion engulfed the humanoid Zerg, but it charged straight out of the smoke and dust produced by the blast, the surface of the energy barrier around its body dispersing ripples of iridescent light.

"For the Emperor! Open fire!"

Xiao Shengfeng's roar came from the tank turret.

The main gun of the Prowler Tank roared, but the Rune Bullet hovered eerily in mid-air before the pitch-black Zerg and exploded.

This humanoid Zerg raised its other hand, and purple lightning sprayed out once more, blasting two armored personnel carriers into burning scrap metal.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Shell after shell flew toward this humanoid Zerg, but all were intercepted by the Energy Force Field around its body, failing to harm the humanoid Zerg in the slightest.

Sensing that the physical fitness of these humans wearing blue and white Armor was very high, this humanoid Zerg once again lashed out with purple lightning to attack the War Dog Space Marines who were standing on the ground and firing at it.

Having been prepared, the War Dog Space Marines quickly dodged the purple lightning and continued to fire.

"Fenongqiu, when you attacked that Alien just now, it mobilized energy from other areas to defend. Do it again! This time, cut off its wings first!"

Randall changed the magazine for his Bolter and said to Fenongqiu over the communication channel.

"Good!"

Fenongqiu leaped again, his MK2 Power Armor emitting a sharp hydraulic whine, and the chainaxe in his hand slashed down rapidly; unsurprisingly, it was still blocked by the humanoid Zerg's Energy Force Field.

"Alien!"

A loud shout rang out behind the humanoid Zerg. This humanoid Zerg reacted very quickly, immediately mobilizing energy to defend, but Randall's chainaxe had already broken through its Energy Force Field, and the crystal wing on one side of the humanoid Zerg's back was severed by the chainaxe.

Three figures landed heavily on the ground. Having lost one side of its crystal wings, the humanoid Zerg could not fly again, and as soon as it landed, two more War Dog Space Marines charged toward it.

The humanoid Zerg, having lost one crystal wing, let out a shriek for the first time.

As it turned, its three pairs of compound eyes lit up with blood-red light simultaneously, and purple lightning condensed into thorn-shaped energy tentacles at the base of its broken wing, sweeping toward Randall.

"Boom!"

Randall took the blow head-on with his arm armor, and obvious cracks appeared where the armor was struck. But Randall did not retreat; instead, he advanced, using his chainaxe to jam the expanding energy tentacles.

"Fenongqiu!"

At the same time, two bursts of Bolter Shells exploded suddenly at ten o'clock from the humanoid Zerg.

The two newly joined Space Marines precisely targeted the base of the Alien's intact crystal wing, forcing the humanoid Zerg to divert more energy to repair the damaged barrier, and the Energy Force Field around it showed visible fluctuations.

Fenongqiu, holding his chainaxe high with both hands, leaped once more.

"Go to hell, Alien!"

The chainaxe successfully breached the humanoid Zerg's Energy Force Field, colliding with the arm the humanoid Zerg raised to block it.

Fenongqiu increased the force in his arms, and the chainaxe pressed down along the humanoid Zerg's arm, slicing the arm into two pieces.

The humanoid Zerg still wanted to resist, but the two newly joined War Dog Space Marines also joined the battle, wielding their chainaxes.

After a brief struggle, the humanoid Zerg was finally decapitated by Fenongqiu. To prevent any other abnormalities from this Alien, Fenongqiu specifically hacked the humanoid Zerg into eight pieces.

"Fenongqiu, the Emperor instructed us before we set out that if we encounter this kind of humanoid Alien, after killing it, we are to transport the corpse back to the Military District."

Hearing Randall's reminder, the movement of Fenongqiu's hands suddenly paused. He looked at the Alien he had already divided into eight pieces and looked at Randall with hesitation.

"It should be fine to divide it into eight pieces, right? After all, who knows what other methods this Alien might have."

Randall looked at the Alien that had been divided into eight pieces, and after a few seconds of silence, he said.

"Regardless, have the soldiers collect the corpse of this Alien, seal it up, and send it back to the Military District. Our brothers there will receive it."

Randall patted Fenongqiu on the shoulder and spoke.

At this time, the Hatchery was no longer pouring out Zerg, and there were few Zerg left on the battlefield, with only scattered ones still resisting.

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region.

"Yingzhou, among the current advancement speeds of the three Legions, the 21st Legion is advancing the fastest. The 22nd Legion encountered a humanoid Zerg, and the corpse is currently being transported back. The 23rd Legion's advancement speed is not bad either."

Seeing Yingzhou come to find him, Lu Zhenda handed the reports from each Legion from this evening to Yingzhou and spoke.

"Humanoid Zerg? How are the casualties for the 22nd Legion?"

"Because 10 War Dog Space Marines intercepted that humanoid Zerg on the battlefield, the casualties were not high.

However, with three Legions advancing simultaneously, only the 22nd Legion encountered an attack by a humanoid Zerg. How did you know the 22nd Legion would encounter a humanoid Zerg?"

Yingzhou closed the report in his hand, placed it on Lu Zhenda's desk, and said in a flat tone.

"I didn't expect the 22nd Legion to encounter a humanoid Zerg either. Besides, didn't I leave the Grey Knights and Alicia Airborne as aerial support units? If any Legion's advancement speed slows down or they encounter some tricky problems, can't they immediately board the Valkyrie Transport to provide support?

And they can also let the Valkyrie Transport carry out a wave of fire support while they're at it."

Hearing Yingzhou's explanation, Lu Zhenda spoke casually.

"At this rate, in about seven or eight days, the three Legions will be in full contact with the Beast Race territory. This is a major challenge for our logistics and supply."

"Hmm, the 20th Legion and 24th Legion are starting to take over some positions and build complete material supply lines. Also, have each Legion pay attention to the movements of the Zerg; this move of ours is very likely to be met with a counterattack from the Zerg."

Just then, Horus poked his head out from a pile of data on the side and spoke.

"Father, I have a different opinion."

Seeing that Horus had a different opinion, Yingzhou said with a smile on his lips.

"Is that so? Horus, tell me about it."
