Chapter 510: Legion Advance

Horus walked up to Yingzhou, pressed his right fist lightly against his lips, and gave a light cough.

Seeing this action, Yingzhou always felt something was strange; it seemed Vulkan often made this gesture, Angron seemed to do it even more frequently, and now even Horus was doing it.

Could this be some kind of connection between Primarchs? Thinking of this, Yingzhou couldn't help but clench his right fist and press it lightly against his lips.

"Father, it is like this: we are conducting this large-scale offensive into Zerg territory. If we could understand that the Zerg Alien did not organize an effective counterattack at the beginning because they were gathering troops,

then the situation now is that the Zerg Alien has not organized a decent counterattack. Even though we have pushed the front line so far this time, the Zerg Alien has not organized a single decent counterattack, and even that humanoid Zerg is very likely a descendant the Zerg did not have time to take away."

Hearing Horus's analysis, Yingzhou raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Then in your opinion, should we continue to push forward and border the Beast Race territory, or counterattack the Zerg?"

"Continue to push forward. Given the current situation of the Zerg Alien, the opponents they are encountering must be very strong, forcing them to shift their strategic focus away from us, or to transfer the vital forces we have here to a battlefield that needs them more.

If we launch a large-scale offensive at this time, it is very likely that we will corner the Zerg Alien, causing them to fight us with a 'fish dies, net splits' mentality.

Let the Zerg's strength continue to be consumed first; we will border the Beast Race territory first and strive to rendezvous with the Fourth Defense Zone as soon as possible.

At that time, whether we attack the Beast Race together or turn back to attack the Zerg, there will be no problem.

The Zerg's strength will definitely be even weaker than it is now, and our combat losses can be further reduced."

Horus's words made even Lu Zhenda, who was standing to the side, stop his pace of checking reports.

How are all of Yingzhou's descendants such monsters? This actually makes Yingzhou seem quite normal by comparison—no, he is the most abnormal one. Being able to pull back a Human Civilization that already had one foot hanging over the abyss is simply a miracle!

"Horus, your ideas are very interesting. Keep it up; the battle between Human and Alien needs your vision."

Yingzhou crouched down, patted Horus on the shoulder, and said in a calm tone.

"Yes! Father, I will definitely not let you down!"

"Lao Lu, increase the material supplies for three Legions, and dispatch two Legions from the Military District to build several Fortress structures in the territory we just pushed into.

Use them as transit stations for material supplies to prevent the Zerg from breaking through into this area and destroying our supply lines."

Yingzhou stood up and said to Lu Zhenda, who was drinking water.

"Hmm, no problem. I have already arranged it; building materials and such have already been transported there. The troops are just waiting for your order; as soon as you give the command, they will set off immediately."

"Lao Lu, you're capable! Then let them set off!"

Yingzhou said, giving Lu Zhenda a thumbs up, and spoke heartily.

21st Legion Position 1 Advance Force.

Li Xianghu sat inside the Polar Armored Vehicle, watching the images transmitted back by the Reconnaissance Drone.

The fronts of the Chimera Armored Vehicles sprayed scorching flames, burning the green viscous substance attached to the ground to nothing.

Even inside the Polar Armored Vehicle, Li Xianghu could faintly smell a burnt, foul odor.

The Armageddon Soldier outside, holding a Laser Gun and following behind the armored troops, was stepping on the scorched black ground, checking for any surviving Alien.

Although no surviving Alien had been found so far, this did not hinder their cautious advance.

Just then, the green viscous substance that had not yet been incinerated by the heavy Flamer of the Chimera Armored Vehicle suddenly began to release a dark green thick fog, and from within the fog came bursts of Zerg hissing and the sound of carapaces colliding.

"Attention! This thick fog is a Smoke Bomb used by the Alien during their attack. Continue to advance! Crush those Alien!"

Commissar Yake, having learned of the situation in front of the armored troops from inside the Chimera Armored Vehicle, calmly gave the order.

Soon, the foremost Chimera detected the Zerg in the thick fog. One after another, the Chimera Armored Vehicles sprayed fire dragons simultaneously. The front row of Alien instantly carbonized in the raging fire, but more Hormagaunts leaped out from the Ashes of their companions, attempting to charge through the Human's Steel torrent to slaughter the Human soldiers in the rear.

"Multi-laser, Heavy Bolter ready!"

Commissar Yake ordered the second row of Chimera Armored Vehicles, then climbed out from the top hatch of the Chimera Armored Vehicle. A strong wind carrying foul-smelling organic debris rushed toward him.

The Multi-laser on the turret of the Chimera Armored Vehicle aimed at the Zerg rushing out of the thick fog, and beams of Laser Beam began to fire, Harvest-ing the lives of the Zerg.

The entire battlefield was boiling.

The Laser Rifle in the hands of the Armageddon Soldier wove a net of light.

Suddenly, a soldier screamed—a Ravener burst out from underground, its serrated mouthparts biting the Armageddon Soldier in half directly.

The Armageddon Flamer soldier immediately turned around, and the fire dragon of the Flamer engulfed both the Ravener and the wounded soldier.

"For the Emperor!"

The Leman Russ Tank fired a round of artillery into the thick fog. The blast wave sent five Hormagaunts flying; their bodies were still twisting in the air, but they landed right in front of the heavy Flamer of the Chimera Armored Vehicle and were burned directly into Ashes by the high-temperature flames.

The Human Alliance armored units on both flanks were also attacked by the Zerg, but the scale was not as large as in the center of the battlefield.

"Maintain formation!"

Li Xianghu ordered the Human Alliance soldiers on the communication channel.

"Second echelon, fire!"

When the Rune Bullet exploded in the Zerg swarm, a tactical hologram flashed across Li Xianghu's retina—most of the Zerg within range disappeared in the explosion.

"For the Emperor! Exterminate the Alien!"

Following Commissar Yake's roar, another round of artillery exploded in the dark green thick fog.

Just then, the scorched earth that had been burned by flames suddenly burst open, and hundreds of Scything Talons clad in crystallized carapaces broke through the ground. Their sickle-shaped forelimbs drew emerald-colored electric arcs in the thick fog.

Commissar Yake narrowed his eyes and roared loudly.

"Let these Alien witness true purification!"

The Multi-laser fired again, weaving the Laser Beam into a net of death. The carapaces of the Warrior Zerg in the front row melted into boiling liquid silicon in the Laser Beam.

A low-frequency tremor came from deep within the thick fog, and dark green Corrosive Spore spread out, passing through the Armageddon armored troops and heading straight for the Armageddon Soldier following behind the armored troops.

The Armageddon Flamer soldiers adjusted the pressure of their Flamer to the critical value, and the fire dragons intertwined into a burning noose, engulfing the Corrosive Spore attempting to pass through the armored troops with flames.

"For the Emperor!"
