Chapter 285: The mission of eradicating evil is completed
When the infantry column appeared, motorcycles and speed attack boats also roared from both sides of the column, raising a piece of ravaged soil, and above their heads, the Storm Raven gunboat roared past , dropping a deadly hail of bullets on the enemy tide.
The heretical vanguard troops on the West Bank were suddenly attacked from two sides and immediately became confused.
Thousands of lives were evaporated directly under the bombardment of artillery and rockets. Some of them jumped into trenches filled with corpses to escape the fierce firepower of the Land Raiders, but were immediately ejected by heavy explosions from high in the castle. kill.
The two Predator tanks continued to fire, targeting the highly mutated large units. Their long-barreled automatic cannons screamed and fired out devastating rain of bullets, penetrating the thick smoke, and accurately Hit the target.
As one of the oldest armors in the empire, Predator tanks have been in service since the Dark Age of Technology. At that time, they were already the main battle armor of all human combat forces, and their original purpose was to deal with bloodthirsty war aliens - Orcs.
The front-line troops were very troubled by the Ork's aimless charge, so they needed to find a new tactic and weapon to deal with the Ork, and the Predator tank was born.
The Predator tank with extra armor was able to withstand most of the Ork individual weapons at the time, while the rough equipment of the barbarians could not withstand the firepower of autocannons and heavy bombs.
The Predator tank has also proven its reliability over time.
In the original model, the Predator could carry a small group of troops and be used as an armored transport vehicle. However, in the early days of the Great Crusade, this function was removed for more powerful firepower, and this full combat model The Destroyer eventually became the standard model thereafter.
However, in the Legion of Astartes, the Predator was not used as the main armored assault force earlier, because at that time the Legion of Astartes had the Sikaran series and Baneblade series of heavy armor with more powerful firepower, and the assault armor was more improved. Such a terrifying force is the Feng type siege tank, so the Predator is more often used as a supplementary force rather than a dominant force.
However, after the second founding of the army, the Predator tank was regarded as a spiritual symbol by the Holy Code of Astartes, and gradually became more and more popular as a series of heavy vehicles withdrew from the stage of history during the Great Crusade. Becoming the leading armored force of the Chapter Astartes.
Boom——————!
The flames shot into the sky, and the smell in the air changed, like a feast.
Redemption has never looked so magnificent. Death has never looked so noble.
For the first time since the outbreak of the rebellion, the heretics were forced to take a defensive stance, and the sudden appearance of this mobile force caused them heavy casualties.
No matter how fanatical the cultists are, their morale is on the verge of collapse at this moment.
They stopped chanting and started running away.
These people ran south along the trench, or got into the smoke.
The men stumbling along the ditch attracted fire from the parapet, and Yarrick's soldiers took the opportunity to open fire, knocking them down like sticks.
Some of them fled back and forth, were pinned down by fire, and eventually died, their bodies sliding into the ditch.
Early before the launch of the raid, Yarick sent an order to stop the bombardment. He hoped that the counterattack force could break into the enemy's position unimpeded.
"Which battle group is this?"
His adjutant asked, pointing to the dark purple battle flag.
"This... I don't know either. Anyway, we are lucky, two Adeptus Astartes came to the battlefield."
Alex answered with some hesitation, and then he thought about the follow-up battle plan.
"Our joint attack will better disrupt the enemy..."
Suddenly, the communications trooper who was trying to establish contact with the Space Marines turned his head.
"Sir! The other party sent a message."
"Read it."
"Don't leave the defense line."
"Reply, received."
Although I don't know what the Space Marines have planned, but since the other party does not want them to participate in the battle, there is nothing for Yarrick to do That's right, and the soldiers have been very tired these past few days and really need a rest. "Tell everyone, don't relax, stay at your post."
As he said that, suddenly a strong light fell from the sky, dispersing the dark clouds and also dispersing the deep clouds and rain. Curtain——
"We cut in from the 9 o'clock direction."
On the grainy image board in front of Ustad, a wall was destroyed by the Thunderhawk's nose main gun.
Faced with this armor's firepower, there was no way a makeshift defense could withstand it.
Bodies tumbled out of the ruins, and the corpses of the cultists, those who could still be recognized as humans, were burned.
Ustad couldn't hear their screams, but he wished he could.
After basically wiping out the enemies on the west bank, the Soul Drinkers divided part of their force to join Ustad's speed attack boat squad, and then headed to the riverbed to support the fighting Astral Knight squad and defeat the enemy.
Faced with the newly added forces, these heretics are completely powerless to resist.
As they fled, volley after volley of heavy bolters cut them down, while volleys of lasers and solid projectiles sawed through their chaotic ranks.
Hot blood spurts from their exploding corpses like geothermal geysers.
Ustad spun the pivot-mounted heavy bolter and pulled back the safety lever.
The ammunition made a satisfying click, and he pulled the trigger. The recoil of the heavy bolter was extremely ferocious, making it suitable for use as a light infantry reaper. The structure fixed to the speeder also allowed it to stabilize its ballistic alignment. enemy.
When the muzzle of the gun roared, the human body exploded in an instant, turning into flesh, blood and broken bones.
Enemies are everywhere here. Ustad only glanced briefly and saw many evil masks, shabby robes and vicious tattoos.
The weapons they used were of military grade in terms of quality and effectiveness. He was curious about how many guardsmen rebelled and surrendered to the enemy.
But that doesn’t matter, because he kills anyone on sight.
Eliminate all evil, this was Soshyan's only request to them before the war.
Squads of Land Speeders fly around the battlefield like ferocious birds of prey, strafing exposed enemy formations.
The Soul Drinkers' assault squads fell after them, ending the scattered resistance with screaming chainswords and bolt pistols.
The Cyclone missile launch vehicle rolled in from the east, and the rockets ejected from the launch nest, which sounded like roaring laughter.
Ustad covered his visor with a layer of tactical information, and a golden icon stuck like a fist to the east bank of the river bed. This was an offensive indicator he sent to other players. , he intends to cut off the enemy's attack path directly from the source.
But at this moment, a voice entered his communication channel.
"Ustad."
Soshiyan's voice cheered him up.
“Don’t go near the east bank of the river bed.”
Before he finished speaking, the east bank of the river was lit up by a burst of bright light——
