Chapter 588: Legion Engagement (5)
The Battle Cannon of the Leman Russ Tank aimed at the Zerg warriors charging toward them; a flash of fire streaked out, blasting these few Zerg warriors directly into pieces.
The commander's roar erupted from the turret hatch.
"Load White Phosphorus Shells! Large-scale Alien presence at nine o'clock!"
The tracks of the Leman Russ Tank crushed the corpses of the Hormagaunts, and the barrage formed by the vehicle-mounted Heavy Bolter tore the fragile Zerg attempting to approach into shreds.
A Plasma Bug was charging its energy—its bloated abdomen swelled into a translucent state, with blue energy pulsing inside.
The surrounding Zerg surged forward frantically, covering the Plasma Bug's charging.
"For the Emperor!"
The loader roared as they shoved the Rune Bullet into the breech.
The moment the main gun fired for the second time, the Plasma Bug's charge also reached a critical point.
The shockwave generated by the collision of the two energy forces in mid-air overturned the nearest Chimera Armored Vehicle.
A Human soldier was dragging a Cadian Sergeant with a broken leg through the bloody mud.
She had just used hemostatic gel to seal the spurting artery when she saw the swarm of Zerg surging toward them.
The Sergeant used his still-functional right hand to grab a Fragmentation Grenade and said to the Human Alliance soldier dragging him,
"Child, pray to the Emperor for me..."
Before the Cadian Sergeant could finish his sentence, a violent explosion blasted the Zerg swarm surging toward them away, and the Human Alliance soldier pulling him was also knocked down by the blast wave.
When the Human Alliance soldier struggled to climb up, they saw an armored silhouette bearing an eagle emblem emerging from the smoke.
Three Chimera Armored Vehicles charged into the Zerg swarm, spraying holy purifying flames, while the Stubbers above the armored vehicles were raining down a storm of bullets.
"For the Emperor!"
A hoarse battle cry rang out from the flames, and the flamethrowers spewed scorching fire, burning the Zerg swarm until it crackled.
Just as this Human Alliance soldier was preparing to continue dragging the Cadian Sergeant, they discovered that the Zerg, which had previously surged like a tide, began to show signs of a Disturbance.
They were no longer attacking in an orderly fashion as before, but were more like creatures scurrying about in obedience to instinct.
"The Aliens are showing signs of decline! Men! For the Emperor!"
A Cadian Lieutenant poked their head out from the hatch cover of a Chimera Armored Vehicle and shouted loudly.
"For the Emperor!"
"Cadian stands!"
The Disturbance appearing in the Zerg swarm made the already disadvantaged Zerg situation even worse, and they began to rout rapidly.
At this moment, the Greatsword in Yingzhou's hand had already dissipated; he looked at the Zerg swarm that had begun to show a Disturbance and spoke to himself.
"It must be those few Grey Knights who have taken care of the Dominator Zerg. I wonder how much material I can Harvest this time, and whether I can summon all three of these."
Inside the 86 Legion Hatchery.
When Valantis sensed a different kind of energy within these Yixing Fuhua Chao, he said to the other brothers on the communication channel.
"I have detected an energy source suspected to be an Alien leader; how about we go directly to find it?"
"No problem. Once the Alien's command stronghold is destroyed, the remaining Aliens will be nothing to fear."
After confirming the approximate direction where the energy source had just appeared, the five Grey Knights quickly assembled, psionic energy surged, and silver light flashed.
Once the silver light faded, the five Grey Knights had already appeared inside the Hatchery, which was surrounded by writhing flesh.
When the five silver-white figures appeared inside the Hatchery, the biomass chamber walls of the entire Hatchery contracted suddenly, wanting to avoid these five silver-white figures.
The chamber dome, covered in a mucous membrane, hung with unhatched eggs, which trembled rustlingly in the wake of the psionic energy.
Psionic Arcs still flickered on the surface of the Grey Knights' Holy Shield Power Armor, and their boots stepped on the still-writhing flesh, which was twitching.
"Ah, all of these are filthy things!"
"Holy be the Evil-Breaking!"
Dregoen's low growl exploded in the communication channel.
Psionic Lightning from his left hand surged out, turning the swarm of Guardian Gaunts rushing toward him into ashes, while the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Breaking Sword in his right hand had already sliced open the shells of three eggs.
The spikes protruding from the biological chamber walls were swept by the psionic sword light, leaving only charred blackness at the cross-sections.
Valantis's Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd aimed at a Winged Bug attempting to climb onto the dome; a psionic bolt pierced the Winged Bug's body, directly blasting it into two halves.
"Southeast direction, psionic readings are skyrocketing!"
Aurelian pierced the head of a Guardian Bug with the tip of his Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd, and the embedded Purity Seal emitted a blinding, intense light.
"The position is slightly off, but the Alien leader is definitely in this Hatchery. Before it escapes, finish it off!"
The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in Valantis's hand quickly dealt with the rushing Guardian Bugs, and he said to the other brothers on the communication channel.
Clearly, the Alien leader of this Hatchery had already sensed their arrival and was gathering the forces within the Hatchery to encircle and annihilate them.
"Dregoen, you act with Gadelion; he will clear the Aliens in front for you."
After hearing Valantis's words, Dregoen nodded and replied.
"No problem, I..."
Before the words were finished, the entire biomass ground suddenly bulged.
Countless tentacles stabbed out from the flesh walls, their tips shimmering with deep purple energy plasma.
Saifulesi's Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd swept out a psionic arc, and the severed tentacles turned into Ashes before they even hit the ground.
The Psionic Barrier on the exterior of his Holy Shield Power Armor rippled constantly, and the viscous liquid dripping down was blocked by the Psionic Barrier.
"Aliens!"
Gadelion's Heavy Incinerator Cannon aimed at the surrounding eggs, and blue-white flames spewed out from the muzzle; wherever they passed, everything became charred coal.
Accompanied by a shrill screech from beneath the ground, the biomass ground within thirty meters instantly carbonized.
The five Grey Knights split into four groups to begin searching for the Aliens within this Hatchery; Dregoen followed behind Gadelion, and Gadelion, who was walking in front and clearing the way with the Heavy Incinerator Cannon, would occasionally Harvest the Aliens rushing up with the Heavy Incinerator Cannon.
"Dregoen, there is an abnormal energy fluctuation approaching us."
Hearing Gadelion's words, Dregoen and Gadelion quickly swapped positions.
The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Breaking Sword in Dregoen's hand slashed open the Zerg egg falling from above.
Suddenly discovering a humanoid Zerg appearing ahead, Dregoen did not hesitate in the slightest, gripping the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Breaking Sword and charging forward.
This humanoid Zerg looked up at Dregoen, opened its mouth wide to emit a shrill scream, and slammed into Dregoen while carrying powerful energy.
The psionic scream struck Dregoen like a materialized giant hammer, and Dregoen reacted quickly.
He plunged the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Breaking Sword in his hand into the ground, a barrier composed of pure psionic energy covered himself and Gadelion, and the energy ripples generated by the collision with the Zerg energy shattered all the wriggling flesh around them.
The shattering of the flesh was accompanied by the splashing of viscous green liquid, all of which was blocked by Dregoen's Psionic Barrier.
"Dregoen! The Alien's opening!"
"Ah! I see it!"
Seeing that this humanoid Zerg actually had a momentary pause after releasing this energy attack, Dregoen instantly seized the opportunity, relying on the performance of his Holy Shield Power Armor and his own formidable physical constitution to quickly approach this humanoid Zerg.
The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Breaking Sword in his hand lit up with a silver radiance, and at the very moment this humanoid Zerg was about to put up resistance, he severed the opponent's head.
"Eliminate all Heretic filth!"
