Chapter 748 Bloody Lonely City
The greenskins retreated again.
The battlefield was silent, and the survivors either sat slumped in place like corpses, or wandered aimlessly like walking zombies.
At this time, a group of people came in a hurry. There were four of them, including the young soldier. They were holding a piece of waterproof canvas in their hands. Each of the four people was holding a corner. There seemed to be something wrapped in the canvas. There was light smoke coming out.
"Meck! Meck!"
From the temporary headquarters, Alex walked out quickly. He was now several years older than before. Not only were his temples gray, but his skin and lips were as dry as tree bark.
He ran towards the silent team, and the four of them stopped immediately and put the canvas on the ground.
Yarrick stepped forward, almost unable to believe his eyes.
There is no Meck here that he is familiar with, only a pile of rotten meat that is still panting slightly.
Rotten meat is not an exaggeration, because there is no intact skin on the other party's body, and everything below the waist has disappeared. There are only some pieces of intestines and stomach hanging on it, and the chest is open by 30 centimeters. There was a big hole, and you could see the scorched lungs and the slowly moving heart inside. The left hand was missing, and the right hand was also missing below the elbow.
The face was even more miserable. One eye socket was empty, with some viscous liquid still remaining inside. The other was completely white, with his scalp stuck together with dirt and rags, and his ears and nostrils were just bloody holes. , the lips were burned until only a little skin remained, and the teeth were exposed.
Yarrick has seen countless dead bodies. According to his understanding, it is impossible for a person to be injured like this, because any kind of injury is enough to kill Meck.
And the number of fatal injuries on his body now is at least double digits.
The only explanation is that the remaining drugs in his body are keeping him alive, and he will die as soon as the effects of the drugs wear off.
"Meck."
Yarrick knelt down and held the other person's broken arm. The other person's skin was still hot.
"Arry. Ke."
A voice that was almost like a whisper flowed out from between the slightly opened teeth.
Arrick immediately changed from squatting to kneeling, lying next to Meike, listening carefully to the other person's last words.
“This transaction is a huge loss”
"I will pay it back! I will definitely pay it back! Meike, I promised you!"
"No, no. Use it. Give it back."
Mike tilted his head slightly, looking ferocious. A smile seemed to appear on his face.
“I have been a rotten political commissar all my life. Do you think the God Emperor will accept my soul?”
“He Yes! He will! We will all be reunited under the Golden Throne!"
"That's really great."
With his last breath, Meck's body no longer moved at all.
Yarrick wanted to say something in the end, but found that any words were meaningless. He did not feel sad because there were too many such sacrifices during this time.
Basically all the regiment-level and battalion-level officers under him have been replaced more than twice, not to mention the ordinary soldiers.
Now that the war has started, even he is a little desperate. More than 300 million surviving civilians are crowded into a small upper nest. Young adults, including teenagers over 15 years old, have gone to the battlefield. But even so, they are still The shaky defense line was lost again and again.
The news from afar was always bad, and the support for Helrichs was not going well. Orcs mobilized a large number of psykers and suddenly launched an attack on the city, killing nearly half of the people in the hive in an instant.
Had it not been for the Blood Angels descending from the sky, the hive would have almost fallen.
But then this founding group with outstanding military achievements also fell into a bitter battle. They had to fight against enemies tens of thousands of times their size. In order to avoid orbital strikes, Orks broke into pieces in large numbers and sneaked into the nest. Underground, leading to further increase in fighting.
The situation in the equatorial jungle is not optimistic either. After a period of recovery, the previously dispersed Ork tribe gathered again and continued to launch attacks on the subcontinent, which contained a large number of human forces.
Therefore, in this case, the support that can be provided to Hades's nest is very limited. "Sir, the Astartes are here."
Suddenly, Yarick's deputy spoke, so he stood up and looked towards the back of the position.
I saw three temporarily modified armored vehicles approaching quickly, and then ten Astartes jumped out from them, including recruits of the Astral Knights and soldiers of the Blood Angels.
"Commissar Yarek, we have repelled the enemies on the east side."
The speaker was Armin, who is currently The commanders of all Space Marines in Hive Hades, including several Blood Angels warriors, also obeyed his orders.
"You arrived just in time. The commander here just died."
Yarek glanced at Meike's body on the ground, then bent down to cover it with a canvas and let the soldiers take it away. Burial to the rear.
"As a result, the defense has become very weak and may need your help."
"Understood, we will be responsible for the defense of this area next."
Said , Armin paused, which immediately caught Yaric's attention.
"What's wrong?"
"Commissar Yarick, we just felt a large-scale psychic burst to the north."
"That's a friend of mine."
< br>“Friend.”
Armin stared at Alec meaningfully for a while, and then nodded.
"It seems that you have made arrangements, so I won't worry about that side. However, the situation in the west is also very bad. You'd better go and take a look."
"I'm about to go."
Contact with the defensive position on the west side was lost half an hour ago, although he was not worried about losing there - because stationed there was Moise, the leader of the Wild Dog Gang.
The Wild Dog Gang is known for its unity. Those who join must take a blood oath, and everyone is called brothers and sisters.
After handing over the position to Astartes, Yaric drove to the west position. Along the way, he saw many wounded soldiers retreating, and he felt bad.
When he arrived at the position, he found that the situation was worse than he imagined.
The position on the west side is actually established along the upper nest wall, so it is the area with the best geographical advantages in the entire nest. However, in contrast, attackers from other directions face complex and narrow roads. problem, and the west side is a very spacious attack front, because it is the main land entrance and exit of the upper nest, so it is unobstructed and unobstructed, which is very suitable for the greenskins to exert their numerical advantage.
Therefore, this place was attacked by greenskins.
The last time Yarrick came here, there were many fortifications and fortifications here, which could be called an iron wall.
But now, most of the bunkers have turned into burning ruins. The city walls have been damaged in many places. Huge craters are scattered all over the position. In addition to twisted machine guns and artillery, there are also scattered broken limbs. , everywhere you look.
The wails of the wounded soldiers and the cries of the survivors made the place feel like a cemetery where a funeral was being held.
One kilometer away, the sound of artillery was still rumbling, and it was obvious that the greenskins had not stopped attacking.
Yarrick's arrival did not change the atmosphere much, and even the guards were too lazy to salute.
He walked straight to the command post. As soon as he entered, he saw his old acquaintance lying on a stretcher, and the white quilt covering him was stained red.
The strong smell of disinfectant reverberated in the air for a long time.
