~7 min read 1,234 words

Ninth Defense Zone Military Airport.

Sanguinius watched Yingzhou and Corax board the transport aircraft, as well as Selina following behind Yingzhou, his blue pupils narrowing slightly.

"Corax? How did you convince Father to take you to the First Defense Zone?"

A trace of a smile appeared on Corax's pale face, and he spoke in a flat tone.

"I just paid a small price, though I'm sure he certainly won't mind."

Sanguinius looked at the smile on the corner of Corax's mouth, and he already had the answer in his heart.

Yingzhou sat on a seat inside the transport aircraft, clenched his right hand into a fist, coughed lightly, and began to speak.

"Alright, this time we are going to the First Defense Zone to destroy the Cyberk Alien Giant Weapon Factory; this will further reduce the casualties on our front lines.

Although the three vanguard units led by Vulkan, Horus, and Dorn are indeed progressing smoothly on the routes attacking the Cyberk people from three directions."

Having said this, Yingzhou paused and spoke with a serious tone.

"But the other advancing units still have significant casualties; after all, the Cyberk Aliens are essentially a group of steel creations. Although our soldiers can defeat them, the losses will not be light.

Especially for units that encounter giant weapon attacks without Tailin Family Knights following them, several legions have already been severely damaged and were almost completely wiped out!

Therefore, destroying the Cyberk Alien Giant Weapon Factory this time is also to reduce the casualties of our soldiers and end this war as soon as possible."

Sanguinius and Corax spoke simultaneously to answer.

"Understood! Father!"

Selina had not spoken from beginning to end; after boarding the transport aircraft, she sat quietly in the corner, motionless.

Jaghatai Khan, who did not yet know he had been treated as a bargaining chip, was currently riding an Assault Bike, wearing white Power Armor, and galloping across the wilderness.

The wild wind blew the braided hair of Jaghatai Khan.

"Woohoo! So comfortable! This is what's interesting! Hahaha..."

Jaghatai's hearty laughter was torn intermittently by the wind, yet it was filled with pure joy.

He enjoyed the ultimate sense of freedom brought by speed, and enjoyed the rhythm of the engine's pulse and the earth flying beneath him.

The Primarch's keen senses did not slacken even at extreme speed.

When he swept over a raised sand ridge at high speed, the strange sounds mixed in the wind instantly alerted him.

It was no longer the pure sound of wind and engine roar, but the faint, rhythmic sound of Bolter fire, the sound of Rune Bullet explosions, and the clanking of metal colliding!

Jaghatai's eyes sharpened, and the smile on his face instantly vanished.

He twisted the throttle hard, and the Assault Bike drew a near-perfect arc, decelerated instantly, and stopped steadily at the top of the sand ridge.

He supported the ground with one foot, his body leaning slightly forward, his gaze piercing through the sand and dust, cast toward the distance.

Only to see a few kilometers away, on a relatively flat open ground, a Valhalla Infantry Regiment was relying on the wreckage of several destroyed Chimera Armored Vehicles and several natural stone piles to carry out resistance.

Their opponents were Cyberk Infantry in numbers far exceeding theirs!

Silver-white metal figures were slowly pressing in from three sides, and Pulse Beam attacks splashed large sparks and gravel on the temporary cover of the Valhalla Infantry Regiment.

From time to time, Valhalla soldiers were hit and fell, and the defensive line was tottering.

"Tsk, troublesome." Jaghatai muttered to himself, his brows slightly furrowed, evaluating calmly.

"They've been surrounded... the opponent's combat proficiency is still quite good."

He saw the heroism of these Valhalla soldiers; they did not fear sacrifice, and the momentum of their resistance had not weakened.

The Chimera Armored Vehicles of this infantry regiment had all been targeted and destroyed by the Cyberk soldiers, making it impossible for their current firepower to be deployed.

But the Cyberk soldiers were methodically tightening the encirclement, preparing for the final annihilation.

"Can't just stand by and watch them die."

A trace of an excited smile hooked onto the corner of Jaghatai's mouth; he twisted the throttle hard, and the white Assault Bike dived down from the sand ridge, the roar of the engine rising to the limit.

Ram pulled the scorching Laser Gun barrel back from the firing port; the hot air burned his fingers, but he could not care about these things.

He leaned against the armor plate of the Chimera wreckage, gasping for breath, every breath carrying a heavy smell of gunpowder and blood.

Sweat mixed with the sand and dried blood on his face, flowing into his eyes, stinging painfully.

"Corporal! Three o'clock direction! They're pressing up again!"

Ram leaned out again, and the Laser Gun fired crimson Laser Beams.

"Steady! Aim for the joints! Save ammunition! For Valhalla!"

He roared, his voice hoarse.

The Laser Beam hit the Lingxing Nengliang Bizhun of the Cyberk soldier in the lead, leaving only an energy ripple, and the opponent continued to advance without any pause.

"Damn it! The arm shields of these tin cans are too annoying!"

The Valhalla soldier next to him fired a short burst with a Stubber; the live ammunition only made the Cyberk soldier stagger on its Lingxing Nengliang Bizhun.

This Valhalla soldier's right arm was wrapped in a bandage soaked with blood.

"Our Chimera are all finished..."

The Valhalla medic held a severely wounded man who had lost consciousness, muttering to himself.

"Stubber ammunition is almost out, and the Laser Gun batteries won't last long..."

They were surrounded in this damn open ground, relying on several burning armored wrecks and a few lonely rocks.

From all directions were the figures of Cyberk Aliens, and Pulse Beams were constantly harvesting lives. One after another, familiar figures wearing thick winter coats fell, never to climb up again.

Ram looked at the dwindling comrades around him, listening to the gradually silent calls on the communication channel, his heart aching like a knife.

Valhalla people never fear sacrifice, but being crushed bit by bit by these tin-skinned aliens like this, seeing no hope at all...

Just at this moment, a low and surging engine roar, completely different from the clamor of the battlefield, approached from afar, instantly overpowering the humming and explosions of the Pulse Beams!

"What sound is that?!"

"It's... it's the sound of an engine! But it's too fast!" The Valhalla soldier operating the Stubber also frowned tightly, trying to distinguish the direction.

Ram suddenly poked his head out from the edge of the cover, following the sound to look.

In the distance, a dazzling bolt of white lightning was tearing through the smoke and dust on the flank of the battlefield at an incredible speed!

"Soldiers! Hold on! The hunt has begun!"

A loud, powerful, and strangely piercing voice resounded across the entire battlefield through a loudspeaker!

The voice seemed to carry a certain magic, dispelling a portion of the heavy despair in Ram's heart and making his nearly stagnant heart jump violently!

"The hunt?" Erik repeated blankly.

The next second, the true form of that white lightning was revealed!

A figure clad in white Power Armor, riding a wild-looking Assault Bike, was weaving through the perimeter of the Cyberk Infantry swarm with near-maniacal speed and precision!
