Chapter 712: Encountering an Attack (4)

As the armored vehicle was destroyed.

The Cyberk firepower net began to tighten!

Energy beams began systematically clearing the remaining cover and resistance nodes.

More than 30 silver-white figures flanked to the rear of the Human Alliance troops; their movements were fluid and swift, not even kicking up much dust as they landed!

"Fire! Fire at will!"

Kang Xingjin roared at the top of his lungs while raising his Laser Gun to fire wildly!

Red laser beams wove into a net, shooting toward the distant positions firing blue energy beams at them!

More than 30 Cyberk soldiers cut in from the rear at high speed!

"There are enemies flanking from the back! Protect the officer!"

A Human Alliance soldier, who was in the middle of changing the Charging Pack for his Laser Gun, saw the silver-white figures rushing up quickly behind him; having no time to finish the swap, he pulled out the Combat Knife at his waist and threw himself at the Cyberk soldier nearest to him, fearless of death!

Greeting him was a High-Frequency Oscillation Blade that popped out from the Cyberk soldier's arm!

A cold, icy glint flashed by!

"Ssh-la!"

The Human Alliance soldier's arm holding the knife was severed at the root!

The high-frequency oscillation even prevented the blood from spraying instantly!

The Human Alliance soldier only had time to let out a short, muffled grunt before being struck in the chest by a precise, armored knee strike that followed immediately!

The sound of shattering sternum was clearly audible; he was sent flying backward instantly, crashing heavily into the wreckage of a Chimera Armored Vehicle, and breathed no more.

At the same time, another Cyberk soldier had already closed in on a Human Alliance soldier; just as this soldier's Laser Gun muzzle turned, the opponent's hand had already gripped the barrel like an iron pincer!

The other hand reached out like lightning, two armored fingers precisely pinching the area beneath his helmet!

"Puchi!"

Two fingers pierced precisely into the Human Alliance soldier's neck, and soon there was no movement.

The Human Alliance soldiers in the rear witnessed this lightning-fast massacre; some soldiers let out roars and fired their guns, only to be hit in the center of their brows by precise energy beams soon after.

Relying on the wreckage of half a burning Chimera, Kang Xingjin fought back with his Laser Pistol; every time he poked his head out, it drew several precise blue beams.

"Hold on! For the..."

His shout stopped abruptly as an energy beam pierced through his helmet.

The Krieg Commissar gripped the Power Sword in his hand, his body leaning against cover as he waited for those Aliens to approach his side.

Only a few scarred Death Korps soldiers remained by his side.

They silently held their Lucius Pattern 98 Lasguns, firing at the source of the encroaching ghostly blue beams, making their final stand.

"For the Emperor!"

The Krieg Commissar let out a final cry and charged with his sword toward a Cyberk soldier whose full silver-white armor silhouette had just emerged from the shadows.

Greeting him were three energy beams fired almost simultaneously.

Puh! Puh! Puh!

The Krieg Commissar's body stiffened violently, charred holes exploding simultaneously in his chest, abdomen, and forehead.

The Power Sword in his hand clattered to the ground, his tall frame slowly kneeling down, and finally, he collapsed into the charred soil.

The last few Krieg soldiers also fell one after another under the dense firepower, never taking a step back until death.

On the battlefield, only the burning vehicle wreckage, the charred and mangled Human corpses everywhere, and the nauseating smell of roasted meat mixed with ozone remained.

In the ruins, one silver-white figure after another appeared, disengaging the camouflage systems of their Stealth Armor; these Cyberk soldiers stepped over the still-burning wreckage and warm corpses.

"Threat cleared. Confirmed no surviving hostile units."

"Energy consumption: within acceptable range.

Infantry unit D645K Right Arm Shield Generator overloaded and damaged, requires recovery.

Infantry unit D76E9 head hit, repair value is low, suggest recovering the Combat Module.

Infantry unit D61M4 only head remains, Combat Module recovered, reason: suicide attacks by several Human soldiers carrying high-energy bombs.

Infantry unit..."

"Scanning battlefield: no high-value intelligence.

Demon-contaminated area, not recommended to recover low-level biological materials."

"Combat effectiveness assessment: enemy resistance will is strong.

Equipment strength: if not for the Energy Shield, our losses would have increased.

Our losses: acceptable range."

Captain C18R3's pupils scanned the battlefield, finally resting on the lifeless corpse of the Krieg Commissar; cold analytical data flowed through the Consciousness Network.

"Record: Human unit officer displayed abnormally high individual combat will, suspected mental control node.

Data uploaded."

"Recover damaged components, mark this area as 'cleared'."

"Received."

The battle lasted no more than fifteen minutes from start to finish.

This area returned to deathly silence, with only the faint sizzling sound of overloaded energy weapons remaining.

The Cyberk soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.

A Cyberk soldier walked to the side of two Human Alliance soldiers' corpses, using a carried sampler to quickly extract blood, tissue samples, and brain slices.

Another Cyberk soldier recovered the Laser Guns and the Power Sword.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

From time to time, several explosions erupted from the piles of corpses, causing significant damage to some Cyberk soldiers recovering materials; some Cyberk soldiers were even devoured by Melta Bombs, melting into a puddle of molten iron.

"Addendum: Human troops will pull the safety pins on their hand grenades before death by some method, causing an explosion when their corpses are disturbed."

Captain C18R3 confirmed the feedback that the data upload was successful, without any emotional fluctuation.

The Cyberk soldiers did not cast another glance at the human corpses covering the ground.

Their figures merged once again into the shadows of the ruins and the smoke that had yet to dissipate.

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region.

"Horus, the 52nd Legion advance force suddenly lost contact 15 minutes ago; the nearest 50th Legion advance force discovered this after arriving at the location where the 52nd Legion advance force lost contact."

Lu Zhenda hurried into the office with a file, handed it to Horus, and spoke in a hurried tone.

"Wiped out... including the armored units..."

Horus's voice was low as he picked up several high-resolution photographs from the file.

The charred and twisted wreckage of Leman Russ, Chimera armored vehicles, streets covered in craters and scorch marks, and large, glaring patches of human blood.

Most of the corpses were mangled, showing signs of having been instantly vaporized or torn apart by high-energy weapons; only a few soldiers' corpses were relatively intact, yet they were covered in fatal puncture wounds.

"Judging from the traces at the scene, the battle was extremely efficient and brutal."

Lu Zhenda pointed to several key points on the photos and continued.

"The side armor of the Leman Russ was precisely melted through and then detonated from the inside; this is a classic energy weapon armor-piercing plus high-explosive implosion tactic, definitely not destruction by brute force."

The damage points on the Chimera armored vehicles are scattered, but the fatal wounds on every vehicle are concentrated on the engine, turret ring, or weak side points, indicating that the opponent possesses extremely strong battlefield awareness and weakness analysis capabilities."
