Chapter 585: Legion Engagement (2)

Deafening battle cries erupted across the battlefield as the Basilisk Self-Propelled Artillery in the rear positions advanced to the crest of the hills and began providing fire support.

Yingzhou swung the Greatsword in his hand forward, and his Spiritual Power, wreathed in flames, instantly carved a fire-filled trench over ten meters wide and dozens of meters long through the Insect Tide; the Zerg within, under the burning of the flames, were reduced to charred remains and vanished before they could even let out a scream.

"The Emperor is with us! For the Emperor!"

Whether they were Human Alliance soldiers or Cadian soldiers, upon seeing that flaming Greatsword ahead, they felt their blood boil, possessed by an urge to offer everything to that person.

"Still a bit too few people, let's have some more..."

Yingzhou swung his Greatsword continuously, watching the wave-like Insect Tide ahead, and decided to use his Spiritual Power to summon more soldiers; after all, the soldiers from Faith Value were summoned to their limit every day and then distributed to various Legions to be integrated with local Legions—of course, there were also Legions that had developed some distance from the local ones due to special reasons...

Soon, a group of Kasrkin soldiers wearing Carapace Armor appeared beside Yingzhou; fully armed, they quickly formed up and began firing the moment they saw the tide of Zerg rushing toward them, relying on their rich combat experience.

"Follow me, eliminate the Aliens!"

Upon hearing Yingzhou's shout, these Kasrkin soldiers used their Hellguns to gun down every Alien attempting to approach the Emperor.

Fenongqiu's Chainaxe tore open the body of a Death-Servant Insect, then, with another turn, he sliced two Sickle Insects lunging at him clean in half at the waist.

After landing, the twenty War Dog Space Marines formed a wedge assault formation, the buzzing of their Chainaxes bringing death to the Zerg charging toward them.

Yingzhou infused Spiritual Power into his Spiritual Power Greatsword, and the golden flames on the blade seemed to grow; as Yingzhou slashed out, a small tornado formed by golden flames flew into the Insect Tide, sweeping away all those fragile Zerg and turning them into ashes.

"Phew, that attempt was still a bit risky; I suppose that counts as my biggest AOE move attempt so far? And I summoned these Kasrkin, better take it easy."

After muttering to himself, Yingzhou stopped releasing large-scale AOE skills; looking at the Insect Tide he had split in two with a single sword strike and sensing the Spiritual Power within his body, Yingzhou decided not to be so headstrong for now and would instead follow the main force to advance.

"A Divine Miracle! It is the Emperor's power!"

After that strike was unleashed, both the Space Marines and the mortal soldiers had their emotions ignited, though their spirits were already quite high to begin with.

When more than twenty Crystal Death-Servants attempted to surround the five Grey Knights charging at the forefront, the Space Marines' neural reflexes allowed Dregoen, at the lead, to strike first despite moving second; his Heavenly Punishment Cannon and Demonic Breaking Sword slashed diagonally to sever an Electric Light Scythe, a roundhouse kick repelled a Crystal Death-Servant and knocked off several Energy Crystals, and finally, a thrust pierced the head of the Alien in front—the entire sequence was completed in 0.3 seconds.

"Holy Shield Array!"

Valantis discovered that the energy of the Crystal Death-Servants ahead was rising sharply and suddenly roared.

The five Grey Knights formed a defensive circle, and a Psionic Barrier unfolded.

The purple Energy Crystals on the backs of the twenty-plus Crystal Death-Servants flashed with light, firing beams of purple energy; the shockwave generated by the purple beams striking the barrier instantly cleared the dark green fog for a hundred meters around.

The Human soldiers charging at the front were blown away by this energy shockwave, and while some soldiers' armor was shattered by the residual energy, they still used their Laser Guns to focus fire on the Zerg rushing up.

A Human soldier, after being blown away by the energy shockwave, was unluckily clamped in two by a Giant Pincer Insect; at the final moment of his life, this Human Alliance soldier wanted to reach for a Fragmentation Grenade at his waist, only to find his waist had been severed and he could not reach the grenade.

The next second, this Human Alliance soldier was tossed into the Insect Tide by the Giant Pincer Insect, causing a stir among the other Zerg in the tide, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking and curses.

"Slay the Aliens!"

Seeing the strength of these twenty-plus Crystal Death-Servants, Dregoen gripped his Heavenly Punishment Demon-Breaking Sword and charged out again; this time, psionic energy surged throughout his body, and even the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Breaking Sword began to crackle with electric light.

"Dregoen! Watch your psionic consumption!"

Valantis chased after him, wielding his Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd, and reminded Dregoen over the communication channel before speaking to Gadlion.

"The Emperor wants us to keep the energy crystals on these Aliens, stop firing at them for now! We will take them out."

"Understood."

Gadlion nodded, his Heavy Incinerator Cannon spraying flames at the Insect Tide on one side, purifying all Alien filth.

Suddenly, the roar of a Chainaxe came from behind Gadlion; Fenongqiu was seen rushing to Gadlion's side, covered in a Blood Bath, and shouted loudly.

"For the Emperor! Tear these bastards apart!"

Fenongqiu's roar made the communication device buzz.

With the Chainaxe in his left hand, he decapitated a Giant Pincer Insect, the sharp teeth growing in the insect's mouthparts also being smashed, while his right hand directly crushed the head of a lunging Swift Insect, yellow-green fluid dripping through his Jinjin-clad fingers.

10 War Dog Space Marines formed a wedge line and pushed forward; the Bolter in Claudius's hand switched to full-auto mode, and bolt after bolt shot out rapidly, exploding into a spray of green blood within the Insect Tide.

"Claudius! Crossfire on the right flank!"

Balthazar, the captain of the other ten-man Interstellar Warrior Squad of War Dogs charging at the front, had his power pack vent scorching steam; he suddenly turned sideways to smash through the encirclement of three Plasma Insects and growled in the communication channel.

He leaped up, and the slime splashed when his elbow heavily smashed the insect shell hissed against his Power Armor.

"Advance! Advance! Bring victory to the Emperor!"

Balthazar crushed the still-twitching insect limb beneath his feet, pressed his Chainaxe against the jaw of a Sickle Insect, and slashed, severing the Sickle Insect's head.

"The Host can consume Faith Value to increase the combat power of all friendly forces within the quality range."

After Yingzhou slashed a Swift Insect into charred remains with his Greatsword, he felt surprised upon hearing the system's prompt.

Eh? The system actually changed its tune? And even reminded him. It's just that his Faith Value is basically spent every day, so he has to use his remaining, limited Faith Value at a critical moment.

Seeing the outlines of Zerg Incubation Nests gradually appearing in the dark green fog, nearly 20 Hatcheries were already producing Zerg non-stop to rush to the battlefield.

Just then, Yingzhou saw black figures moving at extreme speed across the sky, accompanied by a powerful energy fluctuation, and then the system prompt sounded in his ears.
