128: Mission: Destroy the Lizardman Dragon Beast Nest

Following the information from the ecological instrument, Xia Mulin arrived at the stationing cabin where the Zhenxiao Squad was located.

(Zhenxiao Squad Stationing Cabin)

The metal door opened, and Xia Mulin walked inside.

The interior of the metal door held a world of its own, as if he had been instantly teleported onto a planet.

This was a mechanical military camp, surrounded by high mountains on all sides, looking grim and solemn.

"Halt!"

In front of the mechanical military camp, two Lapu soldiers were on duty.

"Please show your ecological instrument identification information!"

Xia Mulin activated the ecological instrument's projection, projecting a portion of his information.

(New Recruit: Xia Mulin)

(Rank: Sergeant)

(Assigned Unit: Lapu Galaxy Empire, 71st Fleet, 10th Army Group, 1st Navigation Regiment, Zhenxiao Combat Squad)

(Duty: Zhenxiao Squad Vice Captain)

(Profession: Mecha Master)

"Your identity has been received and is under verification."

"Verification passed!"

"Welcome to the Zhenxiao Squad! New... recruit?"

"Please wait a moment!"

In that instant, Yang Dezhi was stunned by the scene before him, thinking to himself: how could this be possible?

This new recruit actually held a rank higher than his, and he even had a striking position—their Vice Captain?!

Thus, he hurriedly activated his comms to explain the situation to his captain.

The captain gave him a shocking answer: "That's right, they really did parachute in a Vice Captain!"

"Vice Captain comrade! Combat squad members, Armament Master Yang Ming and Armament Master Tian Daoquan, present our respects to you!"

"For the Emperor."

Xia Mulin replied indifferently, then walked toward the military camp.

Upon entering the camp, he saw the members of the Zhenxiao Combat Squad already lined up in formation.

The Zhenxiao Combat Squad had about eighty members. The mix of men and women in the team was perfectly balanced; half were of the alien Race Lapu, while the other half were normal humans.

At the very front of the squad, two figures were particularly eye-catching.

A handsome man and a woman of extraordinary temperament stood there, smiling as they warmly welcomed Xia Mulin's arrival.

"Welcome, Sergeant Xia Mulin!"

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am the current Captain of the Zhenxiao Combat Squad and the Armament Master Commander-in-Chief, Ou Shaobao!"

"This is the Pharmacist Commander-in-Chief of the Zhenxiao Combat Squad, Frederick Aisha."

Xia Mulin scanned the room, silently evaluating them. The strength of the members didn't seem to impress him; even the highest talent was only B-rank, and he instantly lost interest.

"Hello everyone, I am the Vice Captain of the Zhenxiao Squad. We will be fighting side-by-side from now on!"

"Welcome to the Zhenxiao Squad!"

After some pleasantries, Xia Mulin officially joined this combat squad and assumed the role of Mecha Master Commander-in-Chief.

Although this title sounded glorious, it was actually a role fraught with danger, often requiring one to face the enemy on the front lines.

The Zhenxiao Combat Squad was a team that had undergone the baptism of many battles.

Although the members did not come from the Lapu Academy, they had all passed numerous trials to join the Galaxy Fleet.

Their combat quality and strength were not inferior at all to those academy graduates; in fact, they were even superior.

Their inherent combat quality and strength were no worse than academy graduates, and in some ways, even better.

As part of the Lapu Empire's combat readiness forces, every combat squad under the Lapu Galaxy Fleet possessed admirable prestige.

Whenever they appeared somewhere, it was bound to cause a sensation.

And the Zhenxiao Squad was an Iron-rank combat squad.

(Diamond, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Iron)

Within the 1st Navigation Regiment of the 10th Army Group, 71st Fleet, they were considered mid-to-lower tier, ranking 684th in the entire regiment.

They also looked down on any Lapu parachuted in from the academy from the bottom of their hearts.

Such Lapu usually had backgrounds and were only sent there to gain some prestige.

Therefore, facing this parachuted Vice Captain, the squad members didn't give him much of a warm welcome, and some even showed faint hostility during the previous introductions.

However, as training progressed, they were surprised to find that this new Vice Captain was exceptionally outstanding... his performance in the squad's daily training was always among the best.

He was particularly unparalleled in areas like command and assault, easily taking the top score in almost every assessment, leaving him virtually beyond reproach.

For a time, the Lapu who had wanted to find fault had no excuse... Inside an office in the Imperial Royal Court.

Zzt zzt zzt, a light screen lit up.

A blurry figure appeared.

"So it's you, long time no see."

"If you have something to say, say it directly; I'm very busy."

Inside the office, an old man wearing a military cap with two feathers, who was reviewing documents, temporarily set aside his work.

On his chest hung a general's star badge; he was clearly a figure at the level of a Planetary Governor.

"I need all the information regarding the reactivation of Gene Code ZGDY10000N."

"Furthermore, it would be best if he could be sent directly to the most dangerous alien battlefields!"

The old man raised an eyebrow: "That goes against the Galaxy's legal system; I'm afraid I cannot agree."

"But, what if I give you that item?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression suddenly changed, revealing a look of desire.

But he still calmly asked: "What exactly is your goal?"

"Hehe, there's no harm in telling you; someone wants him dead!"

"Forever, ceaselessly, trapped in a vortex of death."

The old man pondered for a moment, "Information sent!"

"I will make arrangements as soon as possible to send him and his entire navigation regiment into the alien battlefield!"

"But remember, that item must be delivered quickly."

Pshzt... the communication closed. On the other side of the light screen.

A man repeatedly muttered: "Yuanfei Star... Xia Mulin..."

In the next moment, his eyes were filled with killing intent... Half a month passed quietly, and finally, they received a long-awaited combat mission.

(Now, beginning mission assignment!)

(Zhenxiao Combat Squad, target Planet Code cfssw9, real-time planet coordinates sent, depart immediately!)

(Mission: Assist the current planetary defense force in annihilating a Lizard-Man Dragon Beast nest.)

As the mission order came through the ecological instrument, the fire of battle ignited in the members' hearts.

Instantly, the entire squad assembled.

Five navigation ships flew out of the Galaxy Starship, heading rapidly toward the target location... "Arrived at combat coordinates!"

"All members, begin operations."

"Sergeant Frederick Aisha, you go and establish a temporary base."

"Sergeant Xia Mulin, you support the front line."

"And I will handle the central coordination."

The spaceships entered the planet's atmosphere, speeding over the Lizard-Man Dragon Beast nest, and then figures jumped one after another from the ships.

(ecological instrument, activate!)

Bang, bang, bang. Battle armor instantly covered all the members of the Zhenxiao Combat Squad.

In just an instant, they had all transformed into their armored forms.

"Look, it's the combat squad!"

"They're finally here, ahhh..."

"Don't get distracted during battle!"

"Fire! Fire! Kill these monsters that don't know pain!"

On Planet Kabul-Ta, outside a Lizard-Man Dragon Beast nest.

A terrifying species was battling the planetary defense forces that had come to suppress them.

The battle was incredibly fierce, and the Lizard-Man Dragon Beasts had completely seized the advantage.

Smoke from the fires of war filled the air, and traces of battle were everywhere.

Various Armed Equipment and artillery were flying about, mechanical parts littered the ground, and scrap Armed Equipment armor told the story of the battle's cruelty.

Numerous Lizard-Man Dragon Beasts let out roars, their tails whipping like lashes, each swing taking the lives of several Lapu soldiers.

Even battle armor and mechas could be severely damaged by a strike from their steel-like tails.

These creatures were like lizards, standing tall at an average of three meters, with menacing dragon horns on their heads and two pairs of giant wings spread across their backs.

They also had human-like arms and a long, pitch-black tail hanging behind them.

Most importantly, they actually possessed a human Lapu face with a smirk-like expression.

But clearly, the owner of this face was by no means a kind being.

On the contrary, those glowing green eyes were filled with a bloody and violent aura.

"Roar!!!"

A second-level leader Lizard-Man Dragon Beast roared, waving its sharp claws as it looked at the Armed Equipment armor descending from the sky.

It was even larger, a full four meters tall. Its blood-red eyes were full of hatred as it fixed its gaze on the distant spaceship, then opened its mouth wide.

A purple energy orb gathered in its mouth.

This energy orb contained terrifying power; if it hit the Armed Equipment descending from high altitude, it could easily cause massive casualties.

High in the air, the group found it difficult to evade.

In the next moment, the energy orb was aimed right at Xia Mulin and the others...
