Chapter 515: Clearing the Insect Hive Mountain Range (2)

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region.

Ever since the front line began advancing toward Zerg Territory, Yingzhou had gone to Lu Zhenda's side almost every day to obtain the latest news.

"Yingzhou, the mountain Zerg Territory discovered by the 21st Legion—the squad you sent discovered that the mountains under their feet are camouflaged by the Zerg; in reality, they are Zerg Nests disguised as mountain caves, and inside are many Zerg variants, Zerg that are not recorded in our data at all.

The message coming from there now is a request for ammunition support; as long as the ammunition is sufficient, they can eradicate all the Alien nests there one by one."

At this moment, Lu Zhenda organized the new maps expanded by the three legions over the past few days and had Horus transmit the map information into the database of the Ninth Defense Zone.

Upon hearing Lu Zhenda's words, Yingzhou frowned and looked toward the location of the entire mountain range.

If these mountains were all Zerg Nests, then relying solely on this one squad would be too slow in efficiency.

He could only mobilize a legion to go to this mountain range to assist Fannidike and the others in eliminating the Zerg Nests.

Just then, the Task System also popped up a new task.

【Task: Eliminate the Zerg Nest Mountain Range within 72 hours.】

【Task Time: 71:59:59】

【Task Reward: Random Draw x2.】

Seeing that this task had added a time limit, Yingzhou realized it was impossible to clear that mountain range slowly; however, the advancement of the three legions could not be delayed either.

After thinking for a few seconds, Yingzhou spoke to Lu Zhenda.

"Lao Lu, mobilize a unit of Catachan Jungle Fighters to head to the Zerg Nest Mountain Range, and clear out a few transport aircraft."

"Understood, I'll get it done right away!"

After handing the preparations over to Lu Zhenda, Yingzhou stood up and left the office.

Arriving at the military region Airport, Yingzhou found the prepared transport aircraft in the message Lu Zhenda had sent him.

Entering the transport aircraft, Yingzhou began spending points and Faith Value to purchase weapon and ammunition supplies; soon, the two transport aircraft were stuffed full of weapon and ammunition supplies by Yingzhou.

Yingzhou also saw that the ammunition on several Valkyrie Transports in the airport had been depleted. After checking that his Faith Value was still very abundant, Yingzhou recalled the Valkyrie Transports that had ammunition depletion and summoned them again; the ammunition of these Valkyrie Transports was also replenished.

Correspondingly, Yingzhou's Faith Value was also consumed.

At this time, a communication request came through the Communication Device worn on Yingzhou's right wrist.

Yingzhou connected to Lu Zhenda's communication, and Lu Zhenda said concisely.

"A unit of Catachan Jungle Fighters with about 8,000 people has been mobilized, and the transport aircraft have already flown toward the Zerg Nest Mountain Range."

"Mm, I know, Lao Lu."

After thinking it over repeatedly, Yingzhou decided to send out the remaining two Grey Knights; the military region would only keep 10 War Dog Space Marines as an emergency force, and if worse came to worst, there were still the Alicia Airborne for emergencies.

Chamaidaohan and Ganjiedake were summoned by Yingzhou; the two knelt on one knee on the ground and said in a devout tone.

"Emperor!"

"The two of you will board these two transport aircraft respectively, and after arriving at the landing area, drop these weapon supplies."

When he said this, Yingzhou saw the two Grey Knights clearly freeze for a moment, but he did not pay it any mind and continued speaking.

"After the weapon supplies are dropped, you must also establish contact with Fannidike in this area to clear out the Aliens within this region. Oh right, there is also a unit of Catachan Jungle Fighters that will land in this region.

Note, they are friendly forces; do not have unnecessary conflicts with them unless they commit acts of betrayal."

After hearing Yingzhou's instructions, Chamaidaohan and Ganjiedake immediately replied.

"Obeying your will! We will surely let those Alien filth be purified!"

The two then boarded the transport aircraft. As the transport aircraft cabin doors slowly closed, the two transport aircraft took off, a gray mist shrouded them, and they disappeared from sight.

On the other side, the Catachan Lieutenant led dozens of Catachan tough guys beside him as they traversed the mountain peaks disguised by Zerg Nests.

"Quickly assemble our soldiers; according to intelligence, the mountain peaks under our feet are disguised by Alien nests."

As the Catachan Lieutenant spoke, he kicked a piece of rubble nearby and scanned his surroundings; some Aliens who thought they hadn't been exposed were approaching them.

"Damn it, can these Aliens be more terrifying than the monsters back home?"

A Catachan tough guy took out a Catachan Combat Knife with his left hand, the bright blade reflecting his muscular arm.

"Here we have to listen to the orders of the Emperor's Angel; damn it, it's a good thing it's not those loud-mouthed Commissars, otherwise it would really be a bit difficult to handle. For the Emperor!"

The Catachan Lieutenant's Combat Knife had already pierced into the carapace of a spike-bug, green viscous blood bursting from between the serrations.

The Catachan tough guys around him were solving the Zerg approaching them: laser guns firing at point-blank range, Catachan Combat Knives decapitating.

Some lurking Zerg were pierced through the body by the Catachan tough guys' Combat Knives and pinned to the viscous ground before they could even launch a surprise attack.

"Still want to ambush me? You're far worse than those monsters back home!"

The Catachan Lieutenant's military boot crushed the skull of an acid-bug, the viscous blue-green body fluid sizzling between the rock crevices.

He smelled an odor in the air similar to the rotting swamps of his hometown—the corrosive gas secreted by the Zerg Nest glands was seeping out from countless holes.

Just then, the Catachan communication soldier suddenly received an unfamiliar communication request.

"Boss, there's an unfamiliar communication request wanting to contact us! Damn it, go to hell!"

The Catachan communication soldier quickly raised his Laser Gun with one hand; a tubular Zerg with a gaping blood-red maw lunged out from a rock crevice nearby, and the Laser Beam hit its tooth-filled mouthparts directly.

"It should be the unit that landed here earlier; accept the other party's communication request."

The Catachan Lieutenant shook the green viscous blood off his Combat Knife and cleanly stomped a snake-like burrowing bug to death with his military boot.

After half a minute, the Catachan communication soldier's gruff voice sounded again.

"Boss, they said the Emperor also dropped a batch of weapon and equipment supplies here, expected to arrive over this area in 2 minutes and 30 seconds."

"Damn it, those guys are actually pretty decent!"

The group began to gradually converge according to the contact between the communication soldiers while eliminating the Zerg surrounding them.

"Hahaha, damn it, as soon as we landed, there were so many Aliens greeting us; so hospitable!"

After the two Catachan squads converged, the Catachan Lieutenant threw a Fragmentation Grenade toward the swarm; the sound of the explosion, wrapped in a heatwave, slammed into the sturdy bodies of every Catachan tough guy.

"You kid..."

The Catachan Lieutenant hammered his fist onto the Catachan Lieutenant's shoulder; before he could finish speaking, his gaze swept to two clusters of gray mist appearing in the sky, and two transport aircraft hovered overhead.

As the hatch slowly opened, the attack movements of this Catachan captain slowed down slightly.

By the Emperor! What was he seeing?

He saw two Astartes wearing Holy Shield Power Armor throwing supply crates one by one off the Transport Aircraft.
