Chapter 576: The Nearest Legion
Upon hearing that there was movement from the Zerg side, Yingzhou immediately spoke up to ask Lu Zhenda.
"Lao Lu, which Legion discovered the Zerg's movements?"
Lu Zhenda looked at Yingzhou, who was wearing an eager expression and waiting for an answer, and spoke with a smile.
"The three Legions at the very front of the advancing battle line have all discovered traces of the Zerg army, and what they saw should be the same massive army, which indicates that the number of forces the Zerg have mobilized this time is quite significant."
Upon hearing this news, Yingzhou immediately clenched his left fist and said happily.
"That is truly great!"
After feeling Lu Zhenda's gaze, Yingzhou gave a light cough and explained.
"Cough... I mean that this way we can wipe out the Zerg's living forces in one fell swoop!"
"It's fine, I'm already used to it. According to the latest intelligence, it is estimated that we will make contact with the Zerg in 5 hours."
Yingzhou nodded slightly and spoke directly to Lu Zhenda.
"Lao Lu, help me arrange a transport aircraft to take me to the nearest Legion battlefield!"
"You want to go to the front line again? With your current status, if you go to the front line again, will it..."
Hearing Lu Zhenda's concerns, Yingzhou waved his hand directly and said.
"It won't be a problem, rest assured. You still don't trust me?"
After Lu Zhenda was silent for a few seconds, he nodded and replied.
"Alright, I will arrange it right away."
After Lu Zhenda's communication cut off, Yingzhou finally realized what had happened.
Lao Lu hesitated, didn't he? He definitely hesitated!
86 Legion advance team.
At this moment, Fenongqiu, who was walking at the very front, was chatting incessantly with Kasimier on the communication channel.
"Hahaha, Kasimier, look, I told you we would encounter a large force of Aliens today!"
Kasimier shrugged helplessly and retorted mercilessly.
"But you say that every morning, and only today did your words come true."
"Hahaha, this also confirms that Fenongqiu is indeed looking forward to encountering Aliens every day!"
Eric held his Bolter in his arms and laughed loudly.
"Whatever, at least I called it right!"
Fenongqiu ignored his brother's teasing and had already gripped his Chainaxe in his hand.
In the rear of the team, Fang Xianmo was discussing the details of the war with the Zerg with a Cadian Lieutenant.
"Our artillery ammunition is sufficient. As long as we turn this area into a defensive position before the Aliens arrive, we can further increase the Aliens' casualties and make the Rune Bullets hit more Aliens."
Fang Xianmo nodded, watching this Cadian Lieutenant draw a red circle on a hill with higher terrain.
"Yes, use this as the first line of defense for the position, and spread the defensive lines backward until the highest point. We can place the Self-propelled Artillery on the reverse slope to strike the Zerg forces in the rear."
"Yes, deploy some defensive points on the flatter terrain on both sides, and let the armored units stand by in the rear. Once we gain the advantage, we can let the armored units strike, surround the Alien forces attacking us, and wipe them out completely!"
Fang Xianmo looked at this Cadian Lieutenant with purple pupils and asked.
"Then, are there any arrangements for Lord Astartes?"
The Cadian Lieutenant rubbed his chin with his right hand, looked at the map, and replied.
"Lord Randall said that they will engage the Aliens head-on at the first line of defense, so our fire support must not stop."
Soon, the advance team arrived at the designated location. On the top of the hill, looking into the distance with binoculars, one could vaguely see the Zerg spore clouds, and dark green thick fog was appearing.
On the side of the first line of defense, a group of Human Alliance soldiers and Cadian soldiers were building the first line of defense according to the plan.
Randall and the other 9 War Dog Space Marines were waiting on the side for the arrival of the Alien forces.
"Fenongqiu, the blood groove on your Chainaxe needs to be cleaned."
Eric squatted on a rock, his fingers brushing over the cooling fins of his Bolter.
"Be careful that it goes on strike while you are having fun hacking."
Fenongqiu stabbed his Chainaxe into the ground and looked at the dried green blood on his Chainaxe.
This was the trace left behind when he had managed to take down a few stray Aliens two days ago.
"I'll maintain it after I finish hacking this wave... Kasimier! Can you see the shadows of the Alien swarm on your side?"
At the edge of the cliff fifteen meters away, Kasimier was observing the horizon using the scanner built into his Power Armor.
"No traces of an Alien attack discovered yet, but the thick fog over there is getting clearer."
Just then, Kasimier suddenly turned his head and shouted toward the slope.
"Soldiers! Your Mortars will block the firing sector at seven o'clock!"
The Human Alliance soldiers who were transporting ammunition in the rear hurriedly adjusted their artillery positions.
Seeing this, Fang Xianmo wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave a wry smile to the Cadian Lieutenant beside him.
"Lord Astartes' eyes are more lethal than a rangefinder."
"That is why they are the Emperor's Angels."
The Cadian Lieutenant with purple pupils used a pen to draw circles on the map.
"Second Company, go to the east side to set up a fire support line, and bring more ammunition!"
The Human Alliance soldiers carrying engineering backpacks inserted folding steel plates into the ground and instantly welded the steel plates into bunkers with welding torches.
Soon, lines of defense had taken shape.
At the very bottom of the hill were trenches filled with landmines, the middle layer was lined with intricate trenches, and on the reverse slope position at the highest point, the barrels of the Basilisk Self-Propelled Artillery were slowly calibrating their elevation angles.
"Ah, everything is ready now, just waiting for the Zerg army to come."
At this moment, Fang Xianmo had already seen the dark green thick fog in the distance gradually approaching, took a deep breath, and said in a serious tone.
"Rest assured, the Emperor's Angel is fighting side by side with us; what an honor this is! We will surely make the Alien know the consequences of being an enemy of the Emperor!"
The Cadian Lieutenant opened the heated military ration, preparing for the final energy replenishment before the battle.
The pungent aroma made the Cadian Lieutenant's nose twitch.
At the very least, the military rations here tasted quite good, and the energy replenishment was not bad either.
Just then, a Human Alliance communications soldier hurried to the command post and, after saluting Fang Xianmo and the Cadian Lieutenant, spoke.
"Sir! A call from the Military District: the Emperor has already boarded a Transport Aircraft and is preparing to come to our sector!"
Hearing this news, both Fang Xianmo and the Cadian Lieutenant were stunned; even the Cadian's mouth, which had been chewing food, stopped.
"What? The Emperor is coming here! Is there some problem with our location? Is that why the Emperor is coming in person?"
Fang Xianmo was a bit nervous for a moment and went over everything he might have done wrong, only to find he had done nothing.
"No, the Military District's meaning is that the Emperor is coming here to eliminate the Zerg with us!"
After hearing the communications soldier's words, Fang Xianmo finally breathed a sigh of relief, while the Cadian Lieutenant behind him widened his eyes even further.
Good heavens! The Emperor is going to fight side by side with them! This... this... what an honor this is!
