Chapter 602 Scourge of Scrooge
“They seem to be eating grass?”
After hearing Talos say that these creatures were beasts raised by green skins, Soshyan immediately raised his vigilance. , and ordered the team to disperse.
“Where to eat grass?”
“On the ground, of course.”
Soshyan pointed to the hard clay on the ground, and mixed with the stink of these giant creatures, he smelled another stink.
"There is blood, a lot of it"
While they were talking, the beasts also felt the breath of the invaders and left the corpses they had been devouring before.
The heads of these beasts are huge and thick, with powerful jaws that act like powerful claws.
They roar, baring their jagged fangs that look more like instruments of torture than tools of a predator.
"They've found us."
Taros raised his bolter and took aim.
"The nearby greenskins must have noticed it too."
Before he finished speaking, there was a familiar roar.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! ! ! !
"Coming!"
Used by these roars, the Scrooges began to charge, and the ground trembled.
“It doesn’t look easy to deal with.”
Soshyan said as he opened fire and gave orders to the team.
"Everyone, concentrate your firepower and eliminate the target as far away as possible! Mark, you are responsible for the flank of the team, be careful of greenskin sneak attacks."
Facing the impact of the hordes of giant beasts, the Astral Knights did not panic at all, and quickly organized a solid defense line. The heavy weapons operators stood on the front line, pouring continuous fierce artillery fire on the enemy.
Raindrops of bombs hit the tough skin of the skoog beast, bringing out a large amount of flesh, flesh and bones, and then the roar turned into a scream of pain and anger.
The giant beast that rushed at the front quickly collapsed.
Soshyan fired a precise shot at his target's forelimb with a plasma pistol. The beast's joints were immediately blown to pieces, its forelimb split into two, and then fell to the ground, rolling and roaring.
The two species behind it immediately lost interest in the Space Marines and began to attack the fallen companion, tearing open its exposed abdomen with claws and teeth. Within a moment, their bodies were covered with their companions. of blood.
The fallen beast's internal organs were hollowed out, and its belly fell on its sides like a canvas, but it was still alive, its limbs twitching, its tail lashing the ground, and it was just a pile of flesh and blood waiting to rot.
In just a moment, dozens of giant squig beasts fell down easily. Some of them were still grabbing the corpses, but the momentum of charging like an avalanche was still unstoppable.
The Space Marines continued to fire without hesitation. The shortening of the distance caused a surge in damage. The open space turned into a slaughterhouse, and the stench of blood filled everyone's nostrils.
In this hot and humid rain forest, there is a suffocating smell, which is also the smell of enemies falling.
The Scrooge beasts fell one after another, and their number was reduced by half as they approached the Space Marines. However, they had enough numbers and a fearless spirit to rush to the front line. forward.
"Spread out, crush them!"
Under Soshyan's command, the battle line spread to the left and right, and the heavy weapons fighters moved to both sides, and then formed a crossfire to hunt these beasts - they were quick and With precise movements, the heavy explosive shells and assault cannons in your hands crush all the flesh and blood in front of you.
But there were still casualties in the process. A certain giant beast bit the left arm of a warrior who didn't move fast enough. Under the terrifying mouth, the ceramic armor shattered like bones.
Soshiyan heard the soldier's shout on the channel and howled angrily like a wild beast.
But he was too far away to help the bitten warrior.
At this time, another person stood up.
From Soshyan's sight, he saw Talos leaping towards the skoog beast. He fixed the bolter, held the chain sword with both hands, and without saying a word, chopped the weapon into pieces. Towards the beast's throat.
His movements are as perfect and graceful as machinery. Although the weapon is huge, it is as light and quick as a sword in his hand.
The next second, the chain saw tore the monster's skin, and both the machine and the animal screamed, one because it was running, and the other because of the pain of dying.
A waterfall of blood spurted from Scrooge's neck, washing the bitten warrior from head to toe - but at least he was free.
“Thank you.”
After thanking Talos, the soldier covered his almost broken arm and retreated behind the battle line to receive emergency treatment from the pharmacist.
The head of the giant skoog beast hung down with the remaining half of its skin. The body stood for five seconds before falling to the ground.
The Astral Knights continued to exert pressure, compressing the skoogs within the fire net. The fragile flesh and blood soon could not withstand such a blow. The sound of explosions was masked by the surrounding dense jungle, and the ground There were bloodstains all over the ground, and the clay turned black and solidified mud. This place was no longer flat land, but a swamp.
Bleeding flesh and broken bones can be seen everywhere. The charge of the skoog beasts was defeated. They lingered in chaos and pain, attacking each other regardless of friend or foe.
One of them broke out of the encirclement. Its huge mass and momentum allowed it to successfully break through, even though blood kept coming out of the bullet holes. .
The target it chose was Soshyan. It roared and rushed over, opening its jaws, trying to bite the target's head.
Soshyan dodged this move sideways, and in an instant smashed the beast's jaw with his fist, driving its teeth into its belly.
The giant Skoog beast roared and staggered to the side. Soshyan swung his sword, and his huge head fell to the ground instantly.
Just when everyone thought that the battle was over and all that was left was simple massacre, the accident happened again!
"Chapter Commander! New enemies have appeared, huge in number!"
This was Mark's voice, which was quickly covered up by the roar of explosive bombs.
Soshiyang turned around and saw many colorful meat balls pouring out of the dense jungle like a flood from a bursting embankment - each of them was half as tall as an adult.
“These are also green-skinned beasts, save bullets! Use melee weapons!”
Talos was well-informed and recognized the giant hopping immediately.
“Be careful with their mouths!”
Soon, the warriors put away their bolters, roaring and slashing left and right with various melee weapons, cutting through groups of brightly colored spheres body.
The ground soaked in thick blood has turned into a puddle of mud. Soshyan hates these numerically superior opponents the most. Whenever he cuts ten skoogs apart like fruits, Twenty more came charging at him with gaping mouths and yellow jagged fangs.
The orc spores in the scattered corpse of Scrooge emitted a pungent smell like carrion, which had begun to overwhelm the smell of the jungle.
These vicious little monsters pounce on their targets with short, powerful bounces while stimulating the senses with muffled noises - there are just too many of them.
Soon, the warriors stood back to back, forming battle circles to avoid exposing their sides and rear to the ferocious beasts.
