Chapter 530: Everything Is Explained Now
Changkai Buluo camp.
Ganggu is the leader of the Changkai Tribe; he was originally drinking happily by the campfire, but a burst of gunfire shattered the peaceful and joyful atmosphere of the tribesmen.
"Leader, enemy attack! An unknown force is attacking!"
Upon hearing the report from a Beast Race warrior, Ganggu was not afraid; he indifferently drank his murky wine and threw the wine cup, made from a Two-legged Sheep skull, onto the ground.
"Tell the little ones to get their gear ready and crush all the attackers."
Just as Ganggu returned to his tent and took out his Shoulder-mounted Cannon, he discovered two tall figures clad in blue and white armor easily finishing off several of his men who were holding war hammers.
"What is this! Eat my cannon!"
"Boom!"
Ganggu raised his Shoulder-mounted Cannon and fired; a Rune Cannonball flew out rapidly, one figure was instantly swallowed by the explosion, and the other tall figure swung a weapon similar to a Beast Race Biting Battle Axe toward him.
"Hmph! Petty tricks!"
Ganggu raised his Rune Battle Axe and met the attack without fear.
When the Rune Battle Axe collided with the Chainaxe, Ganggu only felt a massive force suppressing him; if not for the runes on the Rune Battle Axe constantly flickering, it was very likely that this battle axe would have already been chopped in two.
Pushed by this massive force, Ganggu stumbled back two steps.
"Damn it, my shoulder armor! I'm going to slaughter it!"
Before the smoke of the explosion had dispersed, Ganggu saw the blue and white armor that had been hit suddenly charge out of the smoke.
Fenongqiu's right shoulder armor was shattered, but Fenongqiu angrily raised the Chainaxe to strike.
A battle cry erupted from between Ganggu's teeth, and scarlet patterns emerged on the blade of the Rune Battle Axe.
The moment the two giant axes collided, the energy turbulence blew the surrounding campfire into a sky full of sparks.
The sharp teeth of the chain saw gnawed at the Rune Barrier, creating dazzling sparks, and the smell of ozone and scorching filled the air.
"How is this possible!"
The veins on Ganggu's forehead bulged, and the battle axe suddenly erupted with a blood-colored energy wave; after the blood-colored energy wave passed, the Rune Battle Axe had become dull and lusterless.
Fenongqiu was knocked back three steps, his Ceramite Battle Boots plowing deep furrows into the mud.
Randall cut in from the side, and the roar of his Bolter firing at close range shattered the skulls hanging on the tent.
Before Ganggu could react, he felt something enter his brain, which then exploded.
Red, white, and various mixtures dripped onto the drooping Beast Race battle flag.
"Damn it! The axe in its hand was actually an Energy Axe!"
"It is a type of rune-based energy."
Hearing Randall's explanation, Fenongqiu let out a cold snort.
"Hmph, just a heretical product."
A Beast Race warrior hid behind a fence, watching two of his own kin holding large guns and firing at a tall figure clad in blue and white armor.
The live ammunition splashed a few sparks against the blue and white armor, but other than that, it caused not the slightest bit of damage.
And that tall figure, holding a jagged battle axe, chopped a Beast Race warrior in half with one axe, while the other hand gripped the Beast Race warrior's skull tightly and twisted downward with force, easily twisting off half of the Beast Race warrior's head.
The battle ended quickly; the 10 War Dog Space Marines all had varying degrees of bloodstains on them, and one War Dog Space Marine spoke up.
"There are no Human survivors here; perhaps the last batch is already in the oil pot."
Randall nodded slightly, changed the magazine for his Bolter, and said to his brothers.
"It doesn't matter, there is another Alien Race tribe waiting for us to clear it! For the Emperor!"
The 9 War Dog Space Marines answered in unison.
"For the Emperor!"
Ninth Defense Zone Military Region
Lu Zhenda told Yingzhou the news that the three Legions had arrived at the Beast Territory border, and after receiving this news, Yingzhou immediately rushed to the Military District.
"Yingzhou, the three Legions have arrived at the border of the Beast Territory and have already cleared out several tribes on the Beast Race border."
Yingzhou nodded, flipped through the reports Lu Zhenda handed him, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he said in a light tone.
"Lao Lu, contact the Fourth Defense Zone; we can start pushing toward their direction, and have them compile the recent movements of the Beast Race into intelligence and send it over."
"Mm, understood; just like Horus said, the Zerg's attention is no longer here; what kind of existence are they fighting?"
When Yingzhou placed the three reports back on Lu Zhenda's desk, he smiled at Lu Zhenda and said.
"It doesn't matter; our primary goal is to rendezvous with the Fourth Defense Zone and judge whether to attack the Beast Race or the Zerg based on the intelligence."
"Good, I will contact Selina right now."
Just as Lu Zhenda was about to send the communication to Selina, Yingzhou suddenly spoke up to stop Lu Zhenda.
"Forget it, I'd better go find Selina in person; I also have some other things that need to be verified."
Seeing Yingzhou say this, Lu Zhenda withdrew his hand from the communication button and asked casually.
"What is it?"
"About the Sixth Defense Zone; I always feel that the communications sent over from the Sixth Defense Zone seem too comfortable, as if the Alien Race on their side hasn't been attacking them much."
Hearing Yingzhou's doubt, Lu Zhenda crossed his hands on the desk, thought for a few seconds, and said.
"Isn't that a good thing? At least Human Civilization has one defense zone that can survive the attacks of the Alien Race."
Yingzhou clenched his right hand into a fist, lightly pressed it against his lips, and said slowly.
"Lao Lu, I have been thinking about a question before: why would the Ninth Defense Zone be targeted by several Alien Races at the same time?"
Lu Zhenda was taken aback and looked at Yingzhou.
"I really haven't thought about this question; why?"
"At that time, our situation was that the Fourth Defense Zone was about to be captured by the Beast Race, and I remember that at that time, the Ninth Defense Zone had the Zerg, the Beast Race, the Demon, and the Alien Race that bewitched Ji Bu."
Yingzhou pulled over the chair that Vulkan had previously sat on, sat down opposite Lu Zhenda, and continued.
"Under these circumstances, the message sent over by the Sixth Defense Zone still says everything is normal and they are in a standoff with the Alien Race. Is this really just good luck?"
"I thought so too at the time, but now, I have another idea."
"What idea?"
Seeing Yingzhou looking at him with a solemn expression, Lu Zhenda's heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason.
"It is very likely that the Sixth Defense Zone has long since been occupied by the Alien Race, the Fourth Defense Zone is about to be taken by the Beast Race, and the Ninth Defense Zone has become the only defense zone in the eyes of other Alien Races that has not yet been conquered by other races."
"In that case, it makes sense why several Alien Races would appear in the Ninth Defense Zone."
"We here are basically the last remaining hope on this planet."
After hearing Yingzhou's speculation, Lu Zhenda's eyes widened involuntarily; according to what Yingzhou said, everything about the Ninth Defense Zone being targeted by so many Alien Races at that time made perfect sense!
