Chapter 750: White Lightning Galloping Across the Wilderness (5)

The Cyberk's Logic Core could not comprehend "sacrifice," "honor," or "fear"; they only recorded the Death Korps of Krieg soldiers' near-insane resistance, which came at the cost of self-destruction, and converted it into a cold tactical note.

Encounter with Death Korps of Krieg—increase firepower projection efficiency, prioritize long-range annihilation, avoid close-quarters contact to reduce unnecessary combat losses.

The heroism and tragedy of the Humans, in their "discussion," ultimately transformed into a line of maintained threat-level code and a suggestion regarding the optimization of lethality efficiency.

On the outskirts of the camp, near the direction of the Human remains, lay scattered many metal fragments belonging to the Cyberk—twisted limbs, shattered armor plates, and carcasses with exposed internal structures.

"Hmph..."

A cold snort issued from beneath the Khan's faceplate.

He scanned the remains of the Death Korps of Krieg soldiers, then scanned the Cyberk soldiers who were undergoing repairs while injured and maintaining tight security.

The opponent's numbers had also suffered heavy losses, and he himself...

Just then, a communication request appeared in Jaghatai Khan's helmet communication channel.

Jaghatai Khan raised an eyebrow, seeing that it was a communication request sent to him by Angron.

He had never intended to hide the fact that he had run off for long.

"Angron, how did you find my communication signal?"

After connecting the communication, Jaghatai Khan said to Angron in a relaxed tone.

"I had Perturabo help find it; he handled it easily.

Since you are already on the battlefield, Horus wants you to eliminate those Cyberk Alien, reducing the casualties of our soldiers.

If you are short on manpower, I can send a unit of my progeny to help you and have them follow your command."

Jaghatai Khan's mouth curled upward, and he shook his head slightly as he spoke.

"Hmph, even if Horus hadn't said so, I would still do it." The Khan's voice came through the Communication Device, carrying a hint of his habitual ease and unquestionable confidence, "As for your progeny's support, I appreciate the kind offer, Angron. But I don't think it's necessary."

Angron's calm voice came from the other end of the communication.

"My brother, don't be too arrogant. Those tin cans aren't easy to chew on when they bunch up. Father told us to despise the enemy tactically and respect the enemy strategically..."

The smile on Jaghatai's mouth deepened as he gazed at those cold metal figures in the hollow below.

"I never doubt the bravery of the War Hounds, brother. But the problem is..."

Jaghatai paused deliberately, his fingers tapping lightly on the grip of his Assault Bike, and continued.

"... I'm afraid they won't be able to keep up with me."

"You?!"

Hearing Jaghatai Khan say this, Angron was stunned for a moment, then said with a laugh.

"You guy, you always want to hog the spotlight all by yourself!"

The Khan's tone remained relaxed as he spoke.

"But cleaning up trash requires efficiency. I am faster, quieter, and better at catching them off guard alone. Don't worry, Angron, tell Horus that I have received his order and am executing it."

The other end of the communication was silent for a few seconds, and Angron finally sighed and said.

"Sigh, fine, suit yourself. My brother, don't overplay your hand and let those tin cans run off or cause a bigger mess; it will affect the battlefield progress! And... don't get hurt."

"Haha! Don't worry, the thing that can kill me hasn't been built yet! See you, brother!"

Jaghatai laughed loudly and cleanly cut off the communication.

Silence returned inside the helmet, leaving only his own steady breathing and the faint mechanical humming coming from the Cyberk camp below.

Just as Jaghatai finished the communication and prepared to plan his assault route, the scene in the hollow below suddenly changed!

The Cyberk soldiers, originally in a low-power standby state, began to move almost at the same instant.

The "white noise" within the camp was replaced by the louder sound of Servo joint operation and the humming of Energy Cores increasing in power.

In the Local Consciousness Network, the Cyberk Commander ordered.

"Detected new high-value target signal: Human reinforcement transport convoy. Coordinates have been updated.

Estimated time of arrival: 12 minutes. Execute preset ambush protocol: Sga-3 (Intercept).

Priority: Highest."

The order was transmitted silently and swiftly to every Cyberk soldier.

All Cyberk soldiers, including those undergoing repairs, immediately ceased their current activities.

Repair units quickly retracted their tools.

Soldiers with minor damage adjusted their postures themselves, while those with severe damage were simply "abandoned" after a quick assessment by their companions—several soldiers in good condition quickly stepped forward, crudely dismantling the still-usable Energy Cores and key parts from them, then pushed their carcasses to the ground, piling them together with other immobile remains.

Their Logic Core determined: carrying them would affect ambush efficiency.

The Cyberk soldiers regrouped, forming several Tactical Squads.

The Cyberk Sentinel acting as guards quickly returned to the ranks.

Several "Annihilators" in good condition were placed at the front and flanks of the formation as assault spearheads and fire support.

The Local Consciousness Network pointed toward another hidden canyon path outside the only exit of the hollow.

This route was clearly one they had scouted in advance, allowing them to flank or get in front of the new target transport convoy as quickly as possible.

In less than a minute, this Cyberk unit had already abandoned the remains of their companions who could not move quickly and set off toward another Death Korps of Krieg transport convoy!

"Want to run? And want to go wreak havoc on the Krieg people?"

Above the high ground, Jaghatai Khan's gaze became extremely sharp.

These tin cans were trying to use the same trick again! He slammed his hand onto the engine start button of his Assault Bike!

Vroom—Boom!!!

The white Assault Bike's engine roared to life!

Jaghatai did not choose to charge straight down to clash head-on with the moving formation, as that would lead to being surrounded by the opponent's dense firepower.

He locked his eyes on the direction of the canyon path the opponent had chosen and twisted the throttle!

"Want to ambush? Ask my blade if it agrees first!"

Jaghatai Khan headed toward the position where the Cyberk forces were preparing an ambush, while using the communication intelligence inside his helmet to send a message to that unit of Kriegers.

Very quickly, a response came through Jaghatai Khan's Helmet Communicator.

"Received, Lord Khan."

The Krieg Lieutenant's voice did not have the slightest hint of panic, only a calmness of accepting a death Task as a matter of course.

"Our coordinates have been confirmed. Estimated time of contact: approximately 9 minutes. Please advise."

The Khan had long been accustomed to this "calmness" of the Kriegers. He steered his motorcycle across the rugged terrain while quickly issuing orders.

"Maintain your current course and speed, do not show any abnormalities. I need you to act as bait to lure those tin cans to the ambush point."

"Understood, my Lord. Continuing forward, acting as bait."

The Krieg Lieutenant's reply was crisp and decisive, without any questions.
