Chapter 521: Cleaning the Zerg Nest Mountain Area (8)

"Is this... the power of the Emperor's Angel?"

An Alicia soldier in the squad shot and killed a Swift Bug with an Akalunte Laser Gun; seeing the Emperor's Angels transform into killing machines and slaughter all the Aliens approaching them, she could not help but whisper.

After Fannidike slaughtered the last Alien beside him, he felt that the energy fluctuations in this crumbling area had returned to calm; the battlefield was filled with burning flames and the severed limbs of Aliens.

When the first ray of sunlight pierced the sky shrouded in spore fog, countless carbonized Zerg remains were illuminated.

This bloody battle, which lasted for 12 hours, finally came to an end after Chamaidaohan's decapitation strike.

The Alicia soldiers leaned against the carbonized rocks, gaining a moment of respite.

An Alicia soldier tremblingly wiped her blood-splattered goggles; when she saw her reflection beneath the goggles, a bitter smile appeared on her face—more than half of the teammates she had air-dropped with twelve hours ago were now lost.

Sergeant Kafuhe's boots stepped over the ground congealed with Zerg brains, trying to wipe the thick green blood off his body with his hands.

The Catachan Jungle Fighters held their respective weapons, silently weaving through the smoking remains of the Juntan.

The Catachan Captain used a flamethrower to incinerate the still-twitching Zerg Neural Bundle, his calm gaze pausing for half a second as it swept over the red bandana covered in green blood—those were his subordinates, who had been pierced through the chest by a Crystal Blade Servant, but he had also used a Fragmentation Grenade to severely wound that Blade Servant.

When a Catachan fighter saw an Alien corpse still waving its limbs after death, the Catachan Combat Knife in his hand swung down again, until the Alien corpse was chopped into unrecognizable fragments.

Fuderi's Ceramite Armor was left with many cracks, and the War Dog Mark on his shoulder armor was also covered in green blood.

He stepped over a stone covered in the remains of a carapace Alien burned by a flamethrower, making a crisp sound.

The three met amidst the Zerg remains, and Fannidike spoke slowly.

"Chamaidaohan, Ganjiedake, the Aliens in this area have been wiped out; I have reported the situation here to the Military District to report back to the Emperor."

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region.

When Yingzhou heard the Task System prompt that the task was complete, he also checked how long this task had taken.

From the start of the task until now, it took a total of 24 hours, 13 minutes, and 47 seconds.

Yingzhou did not go home last night; as soon as the Valkyrie Transport returned, he hurriedly consumed Faith Value to replenish ammunition.

Currently, the progress of advancing into the Beast Territory has reached 70%; among the various Legions, excluding the Armageddon Steel Legion which rarely uses air fire support, the remaining two Legions have a slightly slower advance speed, and air support has also been dispatched a few times.

However, on the whole, the current progress is still very fast; it is expected that in another four or five days, some Legions will likely reach the border of the Beast Territory.

Thinking of this, Yingzhou suddenly felt a wave of hunger; while walking toward the Military Region Canteen, he pondered whether to use the Random Draw he had rewarded himself with immediately.

"Yingzhou? I heard from Horus that you didn't go home last night?"

A voice interrupted Yingzhou's thoughts; a smile appeared on Yingzhou's face as he looked at the figure appearing beside him and spoke.

"Lao Lu, are you lecturing me? Didn't you also not rest all night?"

At this moment, Lu Zhenda's dark circles were very obvious; although his body looked a bit tired, Lu Zhenda's mental state was very excited.

When Yingzhou first decided to start a long-distance advance of the front line, Lu Zhenda had not expected it to go so smoothly; he had even prepared to have Jack increase the workload in the Production Zone to fill the material supply needed by the advancing Legions.

After all, he thought this would be a long-drawn-out war of attrition, but he did not expect the front-line advance speed to be so fast, which made him very excited every day now.

Human Civilization was finally no longer cowering in defense zones that could be captured by the Alien Race at any time, but could begin to reclaim its former land!

Lu Zhenda rubbed his bloodshot eyes and replied.

"Indeed, I didn't rest all night. I'll have a meal in a moment and can rest for a while when I return to the office. Besides, Horus is here, and he has no problem handling these matters."

"Horus is indeed a smart child; he has no problem helping you process documents."

Hearing Yingzhou's words, the eyebrows above Lu Zhenda's dark circles twitched, and he glanced at Yingzhou.

Good heavens, it's that every one of your offspring is very capable, right? Whether it's Angron, who is in charge of Outer City affairs, or Vulkan, who went to the Fourth Defense Zone, they are simply too omnipotent!

Yingzhou's stomach rumbled twice, and this noise pulled Lu Zhenda's thoughts back.

The two looked toward the Military Region Canteen at the same time; through the reinforced glass, they could see the mess cooks stirring the fragrant thick soup.

When the two entered the canteen, the smell that rushed toward them made the expression on Lu Zhenda's face relax a lot.

The two did not stay in the main hall; at this time, many soldiers were dining in the hall, and their appearance would cause a certain commotion among these soldiers.

The two entered a compartment of the canteen, and the person in charge of the canteen ran to the two in a hurry, saying respectfully.

"Emperor, Officer Lu, what would you like to eat today?"

"The same as what the soldiers outside are eating will do; no need to trouble yourself."

"Yes, Emperor!"

When the food was brought up, Yingzhou poked the meat patty with extra-large chopsticks, and brown sauce flowed out of the black meat patty.

"Lao Lu, other than sending us a communication on the annual regular communication day, has the Sixth Defense Zone not contacted us at any other time?"

Yingzhou stuffed the meat patty into his mouth and began to chew continuously, brown sauce squeezing out from the corners of his mouth.

Lu Zhenda put the bread into his mouth and chewed; after pondering for a few seconds, he shook his head slightly and said.

"No. According to the Sixth Defense Zone, they can currently only barely protect themselves and have no time to attend to other defense zones; other than sending daily reports to other defense zones, there is no other information."

"Is that so? Then that is a bit..."

When Yingzhou took the third bite of bread, the Communication Device on his wrist suddenly lit up.

Yingzhou glanced at Lu Zhenda sitting opposite him and connected the communication.

A holographic projection appeared in front of Yingzhou; after Horus nodded to Yingzhou, he said.

"Father, the Alien Nest mountain area discovered by the Alicia Airborne has been cleared. Currently, our transport aircraft are meeting them to return. Fannidike says he has something to offer you—by the way, Grandmother was asking why you didn't go home last night."
