Chapter 527: It Was Actually a Two-legged Sheep Unit
The earth beneath the scorching sun began to tremble.
As the first Chimera Armored Vehicle crushed the boulders at the top of the dirt slope, it was followed by a second, a third...
Countless Chimera Armored Vehicles crossed the slope, driving toward the assembled Beast Army.
A wedge formation composed of steel beasts tore through the horizon, the brand-new Double-Headed Eagle Emblem on the Chimera Armored Vehicles reflecting a blinding light under the sun.
"Alien forces detected, numbers approximately 30,000 to 40,000."
Standing behind the commander's hatch was Commissar Yake, wearing a tall pointed hat. Upon hearing the enemy situation reported by the commander, Commissar Yake poked his head out from the top hatch of the Chimera Armored Vehicle and raised the Bolter Pistol in his hand.
"For the Emperor!"
Commissar Yake's roar was swallowed by the rumble of the armored cluster.
The 20 leading Chimera Armored Vehicles suddenly split from the flanks, forming a pincer position, and the Heavy Bolters on the sides of the vehicles began to aim at the bewildered Beast Army in the distance.
"What is that?"
"Not the Zerg?"
"Looks a bit like the Two-legged Sheep's iron lumps."
When the first Laser Beam tore through the sky and flew over, the smile on the face of the Chiliarch who had just been mocking Batu instantly froze; his abdomen was hit by that Laser Beam, the Runic Bone Armor was instantly burned through, and a large hole was burned into the Chiliarch's stomach.
The Chiliarch let out a painful wail as he looked at the vehicles driving toward them, the Multi-lasers on the turrets beginning to fire Laser Beams at them.
Laser Beams flew in from afar, catching the newly organized Beast Army off guard. They began to fight back with the large guns in their hands, but their counterattacks could only leave sparks on the Chimera Armored Vehicles.
Three Beast warriors operating a Rune Cannon were turned into smoking sieves. Batu lay on the ground and looked back, seeing those iron lumps had already bared their bloody Liaya, biting toward them.
A chill felt in his heart; it was over, the power displayed by these iron lumps was simply not something their Buluo could handle!
Alanfu felt the pressure brought by those iron lumps appearing in droves. In the past, there weren't this many of the Two-legged Sheep's iron lumps. Is this a Two-legged Sheep unit?
"Move! Move! Charge! Charge! Shell Tanks lead the way! Wolf Riders flank from the sides! Crush them!"
Alanfu raised the Rune Battle Axe in his hand, urging the Beast warriors under his command to begin the charge. They had to charge! If they didn't charge, they had only death awaiting them!
Blinding Laser Beams covered the entire battlefield, along with the explosions of Heavy Bolters.
Alanfu saw with his own eyes his bravest Centurion disintegrate mid-charge—several Heavy Bolter rounds first shattered the Runic Bone Armor, then the boiling muscle and bone, finally exploding inside the Centurion's body, splashing the sprayed blood onto the Runic Bone Armor of three warriors behind him.
"Use the Zerg Shell Tanks to block!"
A Beast Race Chiliarch roared loudly. As the engines of the Zerg Shell Tanks, covered in runes, just started up, the 120mm Battle Cannon of a Leman Russ Tank aimed at the Shell Tank.
"Boom!"
With a huge explosion, the hit Shell Tank curled and burst like a beetle crushed by a child, the flying debris scratching the Orcs within fifty meters or even slicing the heads off some unlucky Orcs.
Batu curled up on the ground, watching those iron lumps wantonly slaughter his companions, yet he was powerless to do anything.
The air was filled with the smell of scorched flesh, and every breath made his lungs feel as if he had swallowed red-hot iron sand.
Everyone was charging toward those iron lumps; no one cared about Batu curled up on the ground.
"For the Buluo!"
The Priest Apprentice held high the Plague Totem Staff, releasing a type of poison gas to which only the Beast Race was immune.
The green toxic mist flew rapidly toward the steel torrent. Seeing this, Commissar Yake immediately returned inside the Chimera Armored Vehicle, put on a gas mask, and issued an order on the communication channel.
"Officers at all levels, check that your soldiers have their gas masks on correctly; those aliens have released poison gas."
Thousands of Dire Wolves, enraged by the blood, rushed out of the pens, carrying the Beast Race cavalry on their backs as they attempted to approach those iron lumps from the flanks.
However, the Chimera Armored Vehicle units on the flanks of the Armageddon Steel Legion had already locked onto these Beast Race cavalry. The speed the Dire Wolves prided themselves on was nothing in front of the Chimera Armored Vehicles.
The crossfire net of the vehicle-mounted Heavy Bolters turned the flank charge of the Beast Race cavalry into a meat grinder.
Batu saw the Chiliarch of the Wolf Riders riding that one-eyed Dire Wolf King—the moment the Dire Wolf King had its hind leg severed by a laser, it actually dug its front claws into the ground to continue the charge, until it hit the Heavy Bolter in front of an armored vehicle and exploded into flesh fragments scattered across the sky, along with the Chiliarch riding on the Dire Wolf King's back.
Alanfu knelt under the burning totem flag; the Rune Battle Axe in his hand was as childish as a child's toy in the face of these Laser Beams.
"Rune Cannon! Hurry..."
The roar of another Buluo leader came to an abrupt end.
The 120mm Battle Cannon in front of the Leman Russ Tank spewed dazzling fire, and the rune-covered Rune Bullet detonated prematurely inside the barrel, turning the entire artillery position into a metal storm wrapped in bone fragments.
The Dire Wolf pack began to wail in unison, each Dire Wolf turning into a running torch.
A young Orc warrior futilely slapped his mount with blood-stained palms; the next second, he found his field of vision suddenly brighten, followed by endless darkness swallowing him.
The Priest Apprentice's toxic mist had no effect at all. Only then did Alanfu understand why Batu wanted to make him retreat; there were too many of these iron lumps, and their power was too great. All their attacks were like a joke in front of these iron lumps.
"For the Emperor!"
The crew compartment of the Chimera Armored Vehicle was opened, and the Armageddon Soldiers, wearing protective suits and gas masks, rushed out impatiently, shouting loudly and firing at the now-routed Beast Army with the Laser Guns in their hands.
These Armageddon Soldiers pushed forward along with the Chimera Armored Vehicles. The green toxic mist could not penetrate their protective suits and gas masks, and the Laser Guns in their hands continuously harvested the lives of those aliens.
Seeing this scene, Alanfu let the Rune Battle Axe in his hand fall onto the blood-stained ground, murmuring to himself.
"They... they are Two-legged Sheep? They are a Two-legged Sheep unit? How could this..."
Before Alanfu could finish speaking, he was hit in the cheek by a flying Laser Beam. Until the very last moment of his life, Alanfu could not believe that after causing such a stir in Zerg territory, the ones who defeated him were actually the Two-legged Sheep unit he had considered livestock!
Alanfu's corpse was shattered by subsequent Heavy Bolter fire, leaving only a mangled body lying on the corpses of his own kind.
