The polluted zone facing off against White Poplar Fortress City was home to dozens of different Servant Creature species.
The most intelligent, prolific, and aggressive of them all were the Man-faced Spiders.
They occupied vast numbers of nests, constantly hatching elite combat units. They were the backbone of the resistance against the vanguard forces in the polluted zone.
But the most troublesome and difficult Servant Creatures to deal with were the Rakshasa Ants.
Unless provoked, they were relatively docile by nature and preferred gathering resources and building nests.
The reason Rakshasa Ants ranked near the top of White Poplar Fortress City's list of dangerous Servant Creatures
was that they had a clear division of tactical roles and social ranks, making them seem like a well-trained elite army.
"Since the order came from division headquarters, let's go gather there first."
Lin Xiong didn't understand the tactical purpose of this order to drive out the Rakshasa Ants, either.
But as a legion soldier, obedience was second nature, and discipline was instinct.
"Patrol duty really is boring. We rarely get a chance to bring down firepower and sweep out Servant Creatures. This is our chance to take part in the Great Expansion Movement firsthand."
Wu Yong rubbed his hands together, eyes full of anticipation.
The Seventh Legion had taken on the task of providing support for the Hengzhou New Star Great Expansion Movement, using its limited manpower to seal off the two battlefields on the eastern and western fronts.
On the Eastern Front, Division Commander Mo Zhenting was in command. Even a Servant Creature leader whose disaster level had reached the third tier couldn't cross the line.
On the western side, Haila's deployment plan would be carried out under the leadership of Mo Zhenting's most trusted adjutant, ensuring the blockade wouldn't be breached.
