At the same time, on the leeward rock ledge of Hill 74.

A shallow mark was pressed into the half-meter-thick snow. Lu Ling, dressed in a matte gray combat uniform, was completely hidden under the anti-detection camouflage cloth, while a heavy sniper rifle nearly two meters long was steadily propped up between the rocks.

The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the foot of Hill 73, a kilometer away, where the sounds of battle were deafening.

This custom-made sniper rifle, named "Frost Howl," accompanied Lu Ling throughout her military career.

The tungsten steel barrel is wrapped with a superconducting heat dissipation coil, and three Tia energy batteries are embedded in the side of the gun. With the combined locking of the scope and tactical eyepiece, all targets in the field of view can be killed and calibrated in milliseconds.

As one of the very few extraordinary mechanics in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Lu Ling's battlefield is not on the front lines where she is hand-to-hand with the enemy, but rather in the realm of mastery, where mechanical engineering, energy calculation, and ballistics are combined to the extreme. Every bullet she fires becomes a scalpel that falls precisely from a kilometer away.

Each extraordinary mechanic possesses a varying degree of mechanization, which is why they can become extraordinary mechanics who can influence the battlefield.

Lu Ling gently pressed her right index finger on the trigger.

Three micro-operation touch points on the side of the finger lit up faintly one after another, and the switching of target ammunition type, adjustment of barrel resonance frequency and prediction of firing trajectory were all completed within one second.

In Lu Ling's field of vision through her eyes, the light blue data stream was rapidly updating.

The movement trajectories, energy fluctuations, and even the energy conduction paths of the fungal carpet beneath their feet of the ten Purple Guards were all marked by the artificial intelligence in Lu Ling's field of vision.

"Target number one, Purple Guard, distance 1210 meters, crosswind correction 1.2 mils, loading tungsten core armor-piercing explosive rounds."

Lu Ling muttered to herself softly.

The "Frost Howl" sniper rifle automatically switched magazines, and a bullet gleaming with the cold light of tungsten metal slid into the chamber, while she suppressed her breathing to the extreme.

Just as the guard's sword fell towards Chen Feng, his center of gravity shifted forward.

Lu Ling lightly tapped the trigger with his index finger.

Buzz—

As the deep hum of electromagnetic acceleration sounded, a sniper bullet, trailing a pale blue flame, tore through the wind and snow, leaving a straight trajectory in the frigid air below minus thirty degrees Celsius.

In an instant, it pierced through the head of that Purple Guard.

"Target number two locked, Purple Guard, distance 1070 meters, movement speed 18 meters per second, predicted deviation 3.7."

Lu Ling's voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuation. The micro-operation touchpoints on her fingertips lit up one after another, and the magazine automatically switched to a tungsten steel armor-piercing round with a silvery-gray metallic luster.

As Lu Ling's breathing slowed to its limit, her index finger pulled the trigger again.

Buzz—

Another low hum of electromagnetic acceleration.

The bullet, crackling with pale blue electricity, tore through the wind and snow, leaving an almost straight trajectory in the air, covering a distance of a kilometer in an instant.

The Purple Guard, who was swinging his blade at the medic, had barely noticed when the armor-piercing bullet struck its head directly, penetrating it completely.

With two successful shots, Lu Ling did not pause for a moment. Her left hand quickly pulled the bolt, and the scalding hot cartridge case instantly bounced onto the snow, hissing and rising in a wisp of white mist.

"Target number three, the Purple Guard..."

However, this time, Lu Ling did not pull the trigger again.

With two direct hits in quick succession, the Purple Guards in the midst of battle finally realized the deadly long-range threat.

The remaining figures suddenly stopped, their dark purple compound eyes all turning toward Hill 74, purple light swirling in their eyes, as if they were locking onto a sniper position.

However, the search only lasted a short while.

Lu Ling realized something was wrong and pressed her wristwatch.

A small launcher next to the sniper rifle muzzle immediately ejected a pale silver chaff round, which exploded in mid-air, creating a fine electromagnetic fog.

Instantly, the Purple Guards' spiritual perception was thrown into chaos, and the sniper's position, which they had originally locked onto, immediately deviated.

Using the electromagnetic fog as cover, Lu Ling moved horizontally along the rock face to clear her position.

They then repositioned their guns a dozen meters away.

This time, the crosshair in the eyepiece automatically locked onto the Zerg hatchery on Hill 74.

"Construction target: Purple Zerg hive, load armor-piercing incendiary bombs."

As soon as he finished speaking, the "Frost Howl" magazine emitted a crisp click.

The armor-piercing incendiary round was successfully loaded.

Lu Ling raised the crosshairs in her eyepiece slightly, firmly locking onto the thickest crystalline breathing tube on the side of the ovary.

That is one of the main veins through which the energy of the entire highland fungal carpet converges upwards. Once it explodes, the supply of insect energy will immediately be interrupted.

......

As the two Purple Guards, whose heads were precisely shot, fell onto the fungal carpet, the remaining eight Purple Guards reacted almost simultaneously. They did not show any confusion due to the death of their companions, but instead abandoned their attempt to strangle the Martial Gods.

The two guards covering the rear threw out several biological bombs, and the stimulating aura generated instantly forced the two martial gods in front to leave their positions immediately. The remaining six Purple Guards took advantage of the saturation attack of the Purple Insect Swarm, and their figures turned into six pale purple afterimages, retreating at high speed towards the Purple Mother Nest, hundreds of kilometers away.

Their retreat route was so cunning that even if Lu Ling immediately turned his gun around, he couldn't aim at it perfectly.

Although the Purple Guards retreated swiftly and decisively.

However, the thousands of Ice Claw Berserker Insects charging towards the Great Xia army formation were thrown into a near-out-of-control frenzy.

After losing the high-level tactical command nodes, the Ice Claw Berserker's attack commands are reduced to the most basic "attack, block, tear".

They no longer evade fire or seek gaps in the line of fire.

Instead, they frantically used their frost-clawed pincers, relying on their innate fighting instincts, to launch a desperate charge against the human front.

This is no longer a battle; it's a fight to the death, regardless of the cost.

The battle lines, which had eased slightly with the withdrawal of the Purple Guards, were instantly made precarious again by the berserk Ice Claw War Insects.

Soon, the five forward firing positions were engulfed by the swarm of insects in the blink of an eye, and the soldiers were forced to retreat to the second line of defense while firing.

Bundles of grenades were thrown one after another, blasting open gaping wounds in the swarm of insects.

However, the charging swarm of insects was soon filled with even more purplish-black insect shadows.

However, at that moment, Lu Ling's voice came through Chen Feng's communication channel: "Armor-piercing incendiary bomb, target: the foot of Hill 74, distance 1420 meters, elevation correction 8.5 mils."

Buzz—

The next second, blinding flames suddenly exploded below the mountain peak.

The intense flames, reaching temperatures of over a thousand degrees, spread wildly behind the Zerg horde, instantly creating a sea of ​​fire covering hundreds of square meters.

It's now!

Chen Feng's eyes were filled with a chilling aura. The Starshine Blade of Destruction shone brightly, and he leaped directly to the forefront of the insect swarm. With a single Starshine Blade of Destruction, more than ten berserker insects were cut in half at the waist.

Seeing Chen Feng launch a counter-charge, the four martial gods immediately exerted their strength simultaneously, directly blocking the insect swarm and the retreating Great Xia army.

They forcefully blocked the swarm of insects pursuing the Great Xia soldiers.

At this moment, everyone understood.

The mother hive is not destroyed, and the guardians are not eliminated. If the Zerg are allowed to recover, an even more ferocious counterattack will soon follow.

The battle for Hill 73 has only just entered its most intense phase.
