Chapter 511: Airborne Drop

The Chimera Armored Vehicle broke through the thick dark green fog, the eagle emblem on its roof shining brilliantly in the firelight.

The hissing of the Zerg swarm began to grow chaotic, and unnatural spasms appeared in the thick fog.

Commissar Yake saw the surface in the core area of the fog writhing violently—it was an unformed Hatchery, the exposed flesh chunks twitching frantically.

"All units, attention!"

Commissar Yake synchronized the coordinate data to all fire control systems, "Saturation bombardment, now!"

The artillery roared in unison, turning the two-kilometer radius battlefield into a boiling Furnace.

The Zerg Incubation Nest carbonized in the high heat, and the Dominator Zerg attempting to flee also turned into Ashes in the high temperature.

When the thick fog was dispersed by the purifying flames, only smoking craters remained on the plain.

The Laser Guns of the Armageddon Soldiers were still firing at sporadically twitching Zerg limbs, while the torrent of Steel had already rolled over the corpses of the Zerg.

Commissar Yake stepped down from the Chimera Armored Vehicle, looked at the devastated land, and said to the several Armageddon Lieutenants beside him.

"Rest in place, check equipment wear."

"Yes!"

Commissar Yake squatted down and reached out to touch a fragment of Zerg Carapace Armor.

Just as Commissar Yake's fingers touched the Carapace Armor fragment, it shattered into particles like sand and was blown away by the wind.

"Only the Emperor's wrath can thoroughly purify these Aliens!"

Commissar Yake whispered to himself, and the voice of Li Xianghu came through the communication channel.

"Commissar Yake, this is Li Xianghu. We have advanced 2100km in these two days and will reach the map border tomorrow. I have reported the situation here to the Military District and reported our plan to build a Fortress at the map border."

The Military District approved our plan and arranged for troops to take over some of our positions.

By the way, the Military District will send airborne troops deep into the area outside the map to transmit the scouted map to us.

Their meaning is for us to stay here as a transit station with some people."

Commissar Yake stood up and replied in a serious tone.

"Understood, I will arrange it."

Inside the Valkyrie Transport.

10 Alicia Airborne soldiers sat upright in the cabin, and the leading Alicia Sergeant was currently deploying the combat plan.

"Our landing position belongs to an unknown area; assemble quickly after landing to avoid casualties."

"Yes!"

A voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel inside the Valkyrie Transport.

"Reached the designated area, 3 Sentinels have been deployed, beginning descent."

After hearing this voice, the Alicia Sergeant gripped her Akalente Mark IV Laser Gun and said to the Alicia soldiers beside her.

"Troopers! For the Emperor!"

"For the Emperor!"

The Alicia Sergeant's tactical goggles glowed with a faint blue light as she checked her Gravity Umbrella one last time.

"Begin airborne drop."

As figure after figure fell from the high altitude, the Alicia Sergeant saw three other squads also descending.

"3000... 2500... 2000..."

"Release lock!"

The small fuel thrusters on both sides of the Gravity Umbrellas emitted a shrill whistle, and the 10 figures deployed into a diamond formation within the dark green clouds.

"Laser Guns ready! Be alert for Alien attacks!"

The Alicia Sergeant's order came through the communication channel.

The ground contours gradually emerged: outside a Hatchery where flesh chunks were constantly writhing, a group of Zerg of various forms circled continuously; on the rolling mountains, there were small Nests of Zerg everywhere, and at their scheduled landing position—those writhing shadows were definitely not rocks.

The Gravity Umbrella entered buffer mode, and the Alicia Sergeant's feet were ten meters from the ground.

He pulled off the Fragmentation Grenade at his waist and saw a soldier holding a Mark Ic Akatelen Flamethrower spraying flames to clear the landing zone.

In the scarlet firelight, something with metallic tentacles let out an inhuman scream.

"For the Emperor!"

The Alicia Sergeant's military boots slammed heavily onto the ground covered in green viscous matter, and the Laser Beam of the Akalente Laser Gun hit three twisted creatures, burning holes through them.

The mask display began to flash frantically, and the life detector showed hundreds of red dots swarming from all directions.

"Find the Sentinels! Clear the battlefield! Flamethrower troops, clear the approaching Aliens!"

The Alicia Sergeant immediately assigned tasks to the landed Alicia soldiers.

The Alicia soldier holding the Mark Ic Akatelen Flamethrower walked at the front, and the Zerg rushing up were no match for the high-temperature flames.

"Boom!"

An acid bomb exploded to the front left of the Alicia Sergeant, and corrosive liquid splashed onto the shoulder armor of the Carapace Armor; the tactical goggles immediately popped up a yellow warning.

The Alicia Sergeant backhanded a Fragmentation Grenade, and the acid Zerg Nest writhing three hundred meters away turned into charred remains in the firelight produced by the explosion.

"Three o'clock direction! Flamethrower!"

Following the Sergeant's roar, the Alicia soldier holding the Mark Ic Akatelen Flamethrower immediately sprayed flames, burning the several spike Zerg rushing up into charred remains.

"Sergeant, the consumption of the Promethium Tank is not small."

The Alicia flamethrower soldier looked at the Promethium Tank capacity behind him and spoke to the Alicia Sergeant.

"The transport aircraft is already prepared to conduct fire coverage near us, watch out for cover!"

The eagle emblems on their shoulder armor shone in the firelight, and the Sentry Zerg hidden outside the Nest let out a sharp wail, its six metal limbs twisting and deforming in the high heat.

"Damn it, these Alien Nests are everywhere, our firepower is clearly insufficient."

The entire ground suddenly trembled, and the Sergeant's balance sensor emitted a harsh buzzing sound.

Five hundred meters away, the mountain-of-flesh-like Brood Mother Core was splitting open, and tens of thousands of metallic larvae poured out like a silver waterfall.

Their metallic carapaces reflected an ominous cold light in the firelight, with faint blue plasma flickering between their mouthparts.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Upon seeing the position signaled by Sergeant Alicia, the Valkyrie Transport immediately opened fire on the other Alien Nests, excluding that small area.

The Multi-laser on the side of the Valkyrie Transport cockpit fired rapidly at the Zerg on the ground; there was no need to aim, as long as the Laser Beam was fired, it would take the lives of the Zerg below.

At the cabin doors on both sides of the fuselage, two gunners operated Heavy Bolters to fire downward, blasting up sprays of green blood amidst the swarm.

The Hellstrike Missile under the wing launched with a "whoosh," the explosion swallowing a group of crystal larvae that had just gathered, sending charred chunks of flesh flying across the sky.

"The Sentinel is straight ahead at the 6 o'clock position!" the comms soldier suddenly shouted, "800 meters!"

The entire squad began to advance in the direction given by the comms soldier; with the wave of fire support provided by the Valkyrie Transport, few of the Zerg nests rooted in this area remained.

When Sergeant Alicia saw the Sentinel standing in the distance, she felt a slight sense of relief.

With it, they could move more quickly and effectively in this mountainous terrain.
