Chapter 554: Intelligence from the Beast Race Priest
23rd Corps, Military Base 004.
Led by a communications soldier, Yingzhou arrived at the base's Communication Room and saw that Lu Zhenda's image had already appeared; Yingzhou opened his mouth to ask.
"Lao Lu, what happened? Why the rush?"
Lu Zhenda did not waste words either, speaking straight to the point.
"Yingzhou, an important piece of intelligence was discovered in the Seventh Defense Zone. Connect your communication device, and I will send it to you."
Hearing Lu Zhenda say this, Yingzhou immediately successfully connected the communication device on his wrist with Lu Zhenda's side.
Only after an image was sent over did Lu Zhenda speak.
"You can watch it in a moment. Right now, Vulkan wants Angron to head to the Seventh Defense Zone to help the survivors there recover their sanity as soon as possible; most of the survivors there have already had mental breakdowns from being tortured by the Beast Race."
Yingzhou nodded and replied.
"No problem. Tell Angron about this matter, and have him go to the Seventh Defense Zone to resolve this issue as soon as he finishes the work at hand."
After hanging up the communication, Yingzhou left the Communication Room of Military Base 004, returned to his residence, and began to watch the image Lu Zhenda had sent him.
It was a scene of a Grey Knight torturing a Beast Race Priest.
"I... I'll talk... I'll talk..."
Yingzhou saw the important location Lu Zhenda had marked for him and manually sped up the video; the Beast Race Priest, being tortured by Dabeiwenqiao, panted heavily and spoke in a weak voice using the Human language.
"Speak, what is the important intelligence you have?"
"In exchange, can you let me... uh... ah..."
Before the Beast Race Priest could finish speaking, he was tortured by Dabeiwenqiao again; it was only after more than ten seconds that the Beast Race Priest was allowed to speak again.
"Alien! How are you qualified to negotiate terms! The only thing you can do now is obey; otherwise, I can make you suffer even more!"
Upon hearing Dabeiwenqiao's threat, the Beast Race Priest's body could not help but tremble, and he subsequently spoke again.
"I... I know that the Demon Race has already dispatched a Great Demon; he... he killed our High Priest. If you kill us, then you will face the Great Demon, and when that time comes, you will die a miserable death! Uh... ah!"
"Don't talk nonsense. What other intelligence haven't you told?"
Dabeiwenqiao's tone became impatient, and he began to "amicably" "persuade" this Beast Race Priest.
Watching the way this Beast Race Priest was being "persuaded" by Dabeiwenqiao, Yingzhou could not help but want to laugh.
What time did he think it was, still wanting to negotiate terms? What a joke?
Soon, in the image, Dabeiwenqiao saw that the Beast Race Priest was willing to cooperate, so he let the other party continue to provide intelligence.
"The Zerg are still at war with the Cyberk, and several other races are waiting for an opportunity to act! You cannot rely on the strength of one race to resist other races, and this is merely... uh... ahhh!!!"
This Beast Race Priest suddenly stopped speaking, his entire person controlled by some kind of energy, his whole body limp on the ground like it had lost all support, like a pile of mud.
Seeing that this Alien was already dead, Dabeiwenqiao slowly stood up and ended the video recording.
Seeing the image end, Yingzhou slowly lowered his arm, feeling that his head was a bit chaotic.
"The Zerg are fighting the Cyberk, which is why our advance on the front line has been so smooth! Just as Horus speculated. By the way, what kind of race are the Cyberk?
Also, that Beast Race Priest said there are several other Alien Races; how can this planet have so many Alien Races?
What was that sentence he didn't finish at the end? This is merely what? Damn! I hate this feeling of people only saying half of what they mean!"
Yingzhou rubbed his face with both hands in some agitation and walked out of his residence, feeling somewhat restless.
What exactly was the sentence the Beast Race Priest didn't finish?
Just then, he saw a communications soldier arrive at his residence and salute him again, saying.
"Report to the Emperor! You asked us to keep an eye out for any abnormalities in the front-line reports at all times. Today, the Reserve Army 2nd Corps, which is advancing in the Beast Territory, discovered that Black Qi is gradually approaching them in the sky over the Beast Territory!"
"Black Qi? Demon!"
As soon as Yingzhou heard "Black Qi," he immediately associated it with Demons, and he cast the doubts in his mind to the back of his head.
Demons! It has truly been a long time!
Yingzhou immediately said to this communications soldier.
"Have Reserve Army 2nd Regiment immediately build defensive fortifications on the spot, observe the movements of the Demon Race, and have the Military District provide them with Spirit Pattern Building Material to prevent an attack from the Demon Race! If it is confirmed that it is the main force of the Demons, report to me immediately!"
"Yes!"
Having received the order, the Reserve Army soldier trotted away from Yingzhou's residence.
Is this Demon force the main force the Beast Race spoke of? Yingzhou would not let this force slip away from his sight alive.
Reserve Army 2nd Regiment temporary encampment.
"Regimental Commander! The Emperor's decree! We are to build defensive fortifications on the spot and observe the movements of the Demon Race!"
After a communications soldier relayed the order to Fang Mingdan, Fang Mingdan looked at the Black Qi in the distant sky and issued an order.
"Build defensive fortifications! Send a reconnaissance squad to scout the movements of the Demon Race!"
"Yes!"
Three Taurus Attack Vehicles drove out of the Reserve Army 2nd Regiment's temporary camp, rapidly driving toward the location where the Black Qi appeared.
The Imperial Double-Headed Eagle Emblem embedded on the front of the vehicles reflected light in the sun.
"For the Emperor! Full speed ahead!"
Reconnaissance squad Captain Cheng Nie drove the Taurus Attack Vehicle and roared loudly.
"Are those Demons the same Demons that attacked our Outer City before?"
The soldier operating the Heavy Flamer behind the Taurus Attack Vehicle asked.
"It must be them! Those damned Demons! My wife was killed by them; if it weren't for Lord Vulkan, I would not have escaped death either."
The gunner behind another Taurus Attack Vehicle spoke up.
The three Taurus Attack Vehicles sped quietly over the undulating ground, with only a slight humming sound rising from the drive units.
The Taurus Attack Vehicle driven by Cheng Nie suddenly braked hard, the tires leaving long skid marks on the ground.
The three Taurus Attack Vehicles stopped on a hillside, and Cheng Nie used binoculars to look toward the direction of the Black Qi in the distance.
Discovering that the telescope could not clearly see what was happening over there, he spoke to the soldiers behind him.
"Launch the Reconnaissance Drone!"
Upon receiving the order, the scout activated three Reconnaissance Drones.
When the scanned images were transmitted back, the few of them saw a Buluo of the Beast Race being slaughtered by Demons.
Three-meter-tall goat-horned Demons were brandishing their weapons, black flames burning beneath their dark red cuticles; every time they swung the weapons in their hands, a Beast Race warrior would be sent flying by the flames.
"Rune Power, grant me strength!"
The Priest Apprentice thrust their staff into the ground, the earth suddenly cracking into spiderweb-like fissures, and the Rune Power forced these goat-horned Demons back.
But the Demon commander merely lifted their armored Claw slightly, a wisp of black flame ignited upon the Priest Apprentice, and this Priest Apprentice instantly turned into charred bones.
