Chapter 757: Arrival at the First Defense Zone (1)

~7 min read 1,207 words

"Emperor, we are about to arrive at the First Defense Zone. Prepare to disengage camouflage."

The pilot's voice came through the internal comms, interrupting Yingzhou's thoughts.

"Execute."

Yingzhou ordered concisely.

The Transport Aircraft flew out from the Gray Mist, almost at the exact moment the camouflage vanished.

Red laser targeting beams shot out from the buildings on the ground, firmly locking onto this Transport Aircraft exposed in the sky!

"Locked on! High-Energy Anti-Aircraft Array! The quantity is immense!"

The pilot's voice carried a trace of panic.

"Accelerate! Evasive maneuvers!"

Yingzhou barked.

However, it was too late!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—!

Dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of thick energy beams erupted from various anti-aircraft nodes on the ground, instantly covering the airspace where the Transport Aircraft was located!

Sanguinius's blue pupils contracted sharply!

He stood up abruptly, the wings of light behind him spreading instantly, emitting intense psionic fluctuations.

He sensed the thick despair coming from the battlefield below.

"Below! Human survivors are being slaughtered!"

Sanguinius grabbed the Power Spear leaning against the cabin wall.

Just in the blink of an eye!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!

The dense energy beams slammed fiercely into the Transport Aircraft's Energy Shield!

The shield erupted with blinding light, holding for less than two seconds!

Crack—!

The shield shattered with a roar!

The energy beams instantly pierced through the armor of the Transport Aircraft.

The engines emitted a deafening explosion, alarms shrieked inside the cabin, and red lights flashed frantically.

Thick smoke and flames instantly Devoured the cockpit.

"Abandon ship!"

Yingzhou's roar drowned out the thunder of the explosion.

Sanguinius was the first to act!

He transformed into a stream of light wrapped in holy radiance, charging straight out through the gap in the torn cabin wall!

His wings spread behind him, and powerful psionic energy formed a shield, blocking the scattering debris and energy shockwaves for him.

Sanguinius had a clear target, diving straight toward the junkyard below that was shrouded in despair!

"Corax!"

Yingzhou shouted amidst the violent jolting and firelight, pointing toward the cockpit direction.

"Take the pilot!"

Corax nodded, one arm firmly clamping the unconscious pilot.

"Selina! Come with me!"

Yingzhou did not hesitate; before the airframe completely went Out of Control and disintegrated, he grabbed the cold arm of the android Selina.

No parachute, no cushioning device!

Yingzhou's gaze hardened, his pupils turning pale gold, and powerful psionic energy instantly enveloped himself and Selina, forming a layer of cushioning shield.

Boom—!!!

The moment the two jumped out, the Transport Aircraft was completely torn into burning fragments by the subsequent dense beams, turning into a giant Fireball in the sky!

The violent shockwave pushed the two who had jumped out away fiercely!

Yingzhou maintained the Psionic Shield, resisting the impact force of the high-speed descent and the aftermath of the explosion.

Gale winds whistled in his ears, and thick smoke and flames rolled by his sides.

He could clearly see the figure of Sanguinius below, who had instantly stirred up a storm of destruction.

Selina was beside him, her pupils calmly scanning the battlefield below, without any expression.

Sanguinius smashed directly into the group of Cyberk soldiers!

The Power Spear in his hand transformed into a stream of destruction at this moment.

Every thrust precisely pierced the Core Processor of a Cyberk soldier, and the energy erupting from the Spear tip instantly melted and shattered its internal structure!

Every sweep saw scorching energy arcs slice the mechanical soldiers in the fan-shaped area in half, melting them into molten iron!

Sanguinius's figure darted left and right through the torrent of metal; wherever he passed, only burning wreckage and twisted scrap iron were left behind.

The formation of the Cyberk troops was fragile and vulnerable before this existence who resembled a god of war.

The haze of despair was instantly torn open, and the golden light dispelled the scent of death.

Boom!

A little further away, Yingzhou landed heavily with Selina.

The Psionic Shield wrapping them flickered violently the moment it touched the ground, offsetting most of the impact, but the immense force still caused the ground to crack and dust to fly.

Yingzhou knelt on one knee to cushion the landing, then stood up quickly, the Psionic Shield dissipating.

Yingzhou's gaze swept across the entire field at the first opportunity, confirming the positions and combat status of Sanguinius and Corax.

Selina stood steadily by his side, her landing posture as textbook-perfect as could be.

She scanned the battlefield rapidly, seemingly evaluating threat levels and environmental data, her face devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

The surviving Huo Ke and the shell-shocked people behind him stood frozen in place.

One second it was cold gun barrels and the declaration of death; the next, a savior had descended in such a manner, sweeping away the arrogant enemy like trash.

The massive contrast left their minds blank, and they could only stare blankly as that golden figure destroyed the Cyberk soldiers on the battlefield.

The storm of slaughter on the battlefield came fast and went just as quickly.

Before the inhuman power of the Primarch, this Cyberk Extermination Squad was swiftly wiped out.

The last few light units attempting to resist were also silently dealt with by Corax in the shadows.

The sounds of gunfire and explosions came to an abrupt halt.

On the battlefield, only the crackling of burning flames, the creaking of cooling and deforming metal, and the suppressed sobs of the survivors who had escaped death remained.

Sanguinius stood with his spear retracted, his wings slightly folded, his red battle armor gleaming brilliantly in the reflection of the firelight.

Yingzhou saw the unconscious Transport Aircraft pilot wake up and began to ask.

"Soldier, how are you feeling?"

At this moment, the Transport Aircraft pilot saved by Corax woke up, and seeing Yingzhou watching him, he hurriedly spoke.

"Em... Emperor, the Transport Aircraft was destroyed; it is my fault."

"Soldier, puff out your chest. What we must do now is unite the survivors here and destroy the weapon factory of the Cyberk Alien. Your task will be especially important; can you take on this task?"

This pilot immediately puffed out his chest and saluted Yingzhou, saying.

"Yes! Emperor! I will certainly not disgrace the mission!"

Yingzhou nodded, his gaze falling upon the group of ragged, scarred Human survivors whose faces were a mix of fear, ecstasy, and bewilderment, finally settling on Huo Ke, who appeared to be their leader.

He stepped forward, his gait steady and powerful, walking toward Huo Ke.

Selina followed closely behind, saying nothing.

Huo Ke watched Yingzhou approach, and that powerful aura made him subconsciously straighten his hunched back, wanting to salute, only to find that his hands were shaking.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say words of gratitude, but only a hoarse sob emerged.

Yingzhou stood still before him, without unnecessary pleasantries, speaking directly in a voice that was not loud, yet clearly reached the ears of every survivor.

"We are reinforcements for the Ninth Defense Zone. Tell me, what happened here? Who are you? Who is Sherlock?"

His gaze swept over the direction of Sherlock and Dalton, clearly noticing these two people who had just crawled out of the ruins and were in an unusual state.
