Chapter 525: How Could That Be Possible

The encampment where the 21st Legion and the Armageddon Steel Legion are stationed.

Li Xianghu is currently establishing contact with the other two legions, only to discover that his own legion is the first to arrive at the Orc border line.

Li Xianghu sits on a chair, rubbing his temples as he speaks.

"The situation here has already been reported to the Military District, and the Military District's order is for us to construct defensive fortifications here and clear out the nearby Alien Race."

Commissar Yake looks at the map of the front line they are currently advancing along and adds a sentence.

"Do we need to help the other legions with their advance?"

"Not for the time being; their advance speed is slow, mainly due to considerations for the infantry's marching speed."

Just as Li Xianghu finishes speaking, an Armageddon Soldier runs into the camp tent, salutes the two, and says.

"Report, we have discovered a Zerg Hatchery wreckage site where a unit of the Beast Race has appeared; they are currently lingering at the wreckage site."

Upon hearing this news, Commissar Yake immediately stands up from his seat, gazes at this Armageddon Soldier, and says word for word.

"You mean, the Beast Race? Green Skin?"

"Uh... yes..."

This Armageddon Soldier is bewildered by Commissar Yake's reaction, but Commissar Yake does not feel anything amiss, and upon hearing the soldier's reply, he speaks immediately.

"This Beast Race squad must be eliminated; I will send a squad over to wipe them out! I believe the boys will certainly be happy to accept this Task."

After spending this time together, Li Xianghu has also roughly understood some of their hatred for the Beast Race from Commissar Yake's scattered remarks.

"Hmm, that's fine. Since the Beast Race has already come here to scout, it proves that the Beast Race has a station nearby; we can pull out that station when the time comes."

The order is quickly relayed to the Armageddon Steel Legion, and three Chimera Armored Vehicles drive out of the temporary outpost, heading toward the Zerg Hatchery they destroyed this morning.

"I heard the Orcs here don't seem as strong as the Orcs back home."

"Indeed, that bunch of beasts back home really gave us a headache for a while."

"Forget about it; as long as they are enemies of the Emperor, then we shall eliminate them!"

Inside the crew compartment of a Chimera Armored Vehicle, 12 Armageddon Soldiers are chatting.

When the Chimera Armored Vehicle crests a gentle slope, the vehicle commander says to the Armageddon Soldiers in the back over the broadcast.

"Orc unit spotted, prepare for combat."

The Armageddon Soldiers in the crew compartment, upon hearing the broadcast, stop their previous conversation and begin checking the Laser Guns in their hands.

The Armageddon Steel Legion's Chimera Armored Vehicle roars as it crushes the scorched earth, the tracks crushing the Zerg Juntan, the sticky sound drowned out by the roar of the engine.

"Alien cavalry spotted at three o'clock!"

The observer, looking through the crosshairs on the bulletproof glass, sees those dark green scales refracting an eerie light under the sun.

"Confirmed Beast Race unit, they have already spotted us."

The deep voice of the Armageddon Lieutenant comes through the Communication Device.

"The whole team, deploy in formation, eliminate these filthy Aliens! For the Emperor!"

The 3 Chimeras spread out into formation, and the vehicle-mounted Multi-laser on the turret of the lead Chimera Armored Vehicle erupts with blinding light.

Three Laser Beams shoot toward the area where the Beast Race cavalry is most dense.

The moment the Dire Wolves are pierced by the high-temperature rays, their scale armor melts like butter, and the riders' Runic Bone Armor vaporizes instantly under the high heat.

"For the Emperor!"

An Armageddon Soldier sticks half his body out from the top of the vehicle, operating the Heavy Bolter to begin strafing.

Heavy Bolter rounds strike the Beast Race cavalrymen who are in the middle of throwing bone Spears; those 2-meter-tall bodies, along with the Dire Wolves, are blown into scattered chunks of flesh, and the splashing bright red blood scatters onto the Zerg Hatchery wreckage.

"Those Aliens actually dare to fight back?"

The Armageddon Soldier operating the Heavy Bolter sees some Beast Race cavalrymen charging toward them with Spears, a look of disdain appearing beneath his gas mask.

He aims the muzzle at those Beast Race cavalrymen and pulls the trigger with his index finger.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Those are the Dire Wolves hit by the Heavy Bolter rounds; sprays of blood burst open on their strong bodies as they are blown into fragments by the Heavy Bolter.

This fierce beast lets out a dying wail, carrying its rider as it crashes heavily into the pile of Zerg wreckage.

The Beast Race cavalrymen are shouting something, their voices drowned out by the sound of the tracks crushing the ground.

The Armageddon Soldier sees the last five Beast Race cavalrymen hit head-on by the Chimera; the spines of the Dire Wolves are as brittle as dry branches before the Steel of the Chimera Armored Vehicle.

The front of the armored vehicle is covered in shredded meat and bone fragments, and as the hydraulic system operates, it continuously sprays steam, flushing those remains into the gaps of the tracks.

Watching those Beast Race cavalrymen who have begun to flee, the Armageddon Lieutenant stares through the observation window at the scorched corpses covering the ground, lightly strokes the buttons on his uniform with his right hand, and lets out a cold snort.

"Hmph, overestimating yourselves!"

"What kind of monster is that!"

Batu's roar explodes amidst the rain of bullets; the Dire Wolf between his legs crests the slope, and Laser Beams fly over his head.

Twenty Beast Race Wolf Riders change direction, charging toward those few Chimera Armored Vehicles with Spears in hand.

"Go to hell!"

A Beast Race cavalryman throws his Spear, and the Spear, bolstered by the Rune, flies rapidly toward the approaching Chimera Armored Vehicle.

The next second, this Beast Race cavalryman is killed by several Laser Beams, falling along with the Dire Wolf beneath him onto the carbonized Zerg Juntan.

"These Aliens are just like those Orcs, only not as thorny as them! Eliminate them all! Leave none alive!"

The Armageddon Lieutenant's cold voice rings out in the communication channel.

"Those Green Skin beasts are quite a bit stronger than these sorry excuses."

The Beast Race cavalrymen killed by the Chimera Armored Vehicle only see spiderweb-like electric arcs suddenly light up on the surface of those iron boxes, firing beams of light that burn through their Runic Bone Armor and open charred, black holes in their bodies.

The three Chimera Armored Vehicles have appeared for a dozen seconds, and already over seventy Dire Wolf riders are twitching and falling amidst the Laser Beams, the riders' skulls smoking inside their helmets.

"Which race's weapon is this!"

"Looks like the Two-legged Sheep's iron turtles."

"How is that possible? Where would their iron turtles have..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Just as the 20-plus surviving Wolf Riders were about to escape to the back slope, Heavy Bolter rounds struck their bodies one after another; following the explosions of the Heavy Bolter rounds, these Beast Race cavalrymen, along with the Dire Wolves beneath them, were blown into fragments.

The battle ended very quickly, taking about 30 seconds in total, and the Armageddon Soldiers walked out of the passenger compartment of the Chimera Armored Vehicle.

They wore gas masks and held Laser Guns in their hands, looking at the Green Skin corpses before them, and one Armageddon Soldier whispered to himself.

"Why are these Aliens so weak under the same skin?"
