Chapter 636: Must Take This Alien Race Seriously

Core area of the 87th Regiment camp.

Xu Jundu, who was writing a report, suddenly heard the sound of a bolter from outside the camp, and his body immediately tensed up as he spoke to Kern Commissar beside him.

"Something's wrong, that's the sound of a bolter; the Astartes have discovered an anomaly! Sound the camp alarm!"

Kern Commissar's bolter was already loaded; he straightened the high-peaked cap on his head with his right hand and said in a hoarse voice.

"Have the Basilisk artillery team prepare illumination flares! All soldiers, immediately..."

His order was interrupted by a heaven-shaking explosion.

A fireball rising from the direction of the ammunition storage point illuminated half the night sky, and the flying sand and soil kicked up a small sandstorm.

The entire camp began to boil; the soldiers who had been resting quickly grabbed their laser guns and rushed out of their tents.

Illumination flares were fired into the sky one after another, and the originally pitch-black night was instantly lit up. Xu Jundu soon received news that the camp was under attack, and the attackers were not the Zerg, but the Alien Race that Horus had warned them to watch out for.

"For the Emperor!"

The roars of the Valhalla soldiers and Human Alliance soldiers came from the camp, but these soldiers who had just rushed out of their tents did not see the attacking Alien.

Just then, a Valhalla soldier at the very front was sliced directly in two, and various parts from inside his body fell to the ground; this scene left the other soldiers stunned.

They did not see how this soldier had died. A Valhalla soldier nearby wanted to check his comrade's corpse, but after taking only two steps, his entire head was instantly severed.

"We can't see the attackers; they are stealth units, hurry..."

Before a Human Alliance Sergeant could finish his sentence, a red light flashed, and the upper half of the Sergeant's body was melted off directly, while his lower half fell to the ground emitting blue smoke.

"Over here! The attacker is on me!"

A Human Alliance soldier's pupils turned white as he saw a figure using a high-frequency oscillation blade to slash toward him.

The Human Alliance soldier dodged quickly, but the high-frequency oscillation blade still split him in two, changing from a vertical slash to a diagonal one.

At the very last moment of his life, the Human Alliance soldier used all his strength to fling the blood from his body, revealing the figure of C4NK5 slightly.

These soldiers had long been filled with pent-up rage; whether it was being woken up or the determination to avenge their comrades, they vented their full fury with the weapons in their hands.

Seeing this, C4NK5's pupils turned light green, an energy shield appeared in front of him, and his figure then shuttled back and forth among the soldiers.

For a time, blood splattered everywhere, and soldier after soldier fell into pools of blood.

"Fire! Fire!"

Twenty laser beams focused simultaneously, and the crisp sound of glass shattering came from the air.

The Human Alliance heavy weapons team seized the opportunity to set up a meltagun; as the crimson ray swept across, C4NK5's left arm was instantly melted.

"High-temperature weapons, the humans on this planet actually already possess such weapons! Combat data collection 89% complete, time is up, beginning withdrawal."

The code on C4NK5's forehead flickered in the firelight, and after the nanomaterials on his body wrapped around the gap, C4NK5's figure disappeared again, which made the other soldiers in the camp tense up once more.

It was not until the camp alarm was lifted and they were notified by the arriving Fuderi that the crisis was temporarily resolved that these soldiers finally let out a heavy sigh.

The combat power displayed by the heretic they had just faced made these soldiers' hearts still pound even now.

In just one minute, 34 soldiers had fallen into pools of blood.

If the heavy weapons team hadn't used a meltagun to hit that heretic, they didn't know if they could have defeated that heretic.

When Fuderi found Xu Jundu, he was checking the corpse of the heretic who had died at the ammunition storage point with Kern Commissar.

"Xu Jundu, Kern, report the situation that happened here to the Military District immediately!"

"Reporting to Lord Fuderi, I have already truthfully reported the situation here to the Military District.

Lord Horus has already replied, and a transport aircraft will arrive soon to take these two Alien corpses back to the Military District for analysis.

He also told us to organize the details of the battle with the heretic as reference material."

After hearing Xu Jundu's report, Fuderi nodded slowly and said.

"Mm, I will organize the battle details."

Sixth Defense Zone Outer City.

Following the fall of the Bishop Temple, the other three Deacon Sanctuaries fell almost simultaneously.

After receiving the notification that the task was complete, Yingzhou returned to the Council Building in the Sixth Defense Zone Inner City and established contact with the Ninth Defense Zone through the communication console inside.

When Selina's face appeared on the control console, Yingzhou said in a relaxed tone.

"Selina, the..."

Selina on the other side of the communication nodded slightly, then said to Yingzhou.

"By the way, the Ninth Defense Zone Military Region reported earlier that the 87th Regiment Advance Force encountered a night raid by a Cyberk squad tonight, with 63 casualties and three attackers eliminated."

Hearing this news, Yingzhou was stunned for a moment.

This was the first time he had seen a battle report with such a high casualty ratio; were the Cyberk people really that strong?

"Where are the corpses of those three attackers?"

Selina glanced at the screen on the right and said to Yingzhou.

"The corpses of the three attackers are in transit; Horus plans to analyze the components of the attackers' bodies once they return."

After hearing Horus's arrangements, Yingzhou nodded slowly, then said to Selina.

"Mm, slow down the 87th Regiment's advance for now; this Cyberk... never mind, we'll talk about it after I return."

Halfway through his sentence, Yingzhou waved his hand, preparing to handle this matter after returning to the Ninth Defense Zone.

"Understood, I have already notified Lu Zhenda of your request; the transport aircraft will take off in 16 minutes, please wait patiently."

As the communication cut off, Yingzhou felt very curious about this Cyberk Alien Race; what kind of existence were they to cause the 87th Regiment's Advance Force to suffer such a blow?

Thinking of this, Yingzhou decided to use the reward he had just obtained immediately.

As of now, among the Alien Races he had engaged with, the Cyberk Alien Race was the only one that made Yingzhou feel tricky. The 87th Regiment apparently had 10 War Dog Space Marines, which meant those three Cyberk attackers were killed by War Dog Space Marines; he had to take this Cyberk Alien Race seriously.

"System, perform a random draw, use both of them!"

A few seconds later, the system's voice appeared in Yingzhou's mind.

"Consuming 2 random draw attempts, system drawing..."

When Yingzhou saw the Task reward, he could not help but widen his eyes and mutter to himself.

"This... this reward is just too awesome!"
