Chapter 1237 Night Iron Cavalry
Originally planned, the 11th Company was on standby on the flagship, but at Talos's request, Soshyan allowed them to also join the battle.
Furthermore, this is also the first time that Sablin and others fight wearing Terminators. Although they have received Terminator training before, the time is still short and there are many differences from their past flexible fighting styles. People are feeling sick.
What’s even more troublesome is that there are 50 new recruits wearing power armor in the 11th Company. These are rookies who have just been transformed. Sablin and the others have to take care of these people.
If Talos hadn't been there, they would have gone crazy.
"Damn. I feel like these legs are not even my own."
Li Lin complained as he swept the light through the dark passage around him, and the Terminator's servo buzzed along with his movements. , his weapons are a storm bolter and a power sword.
On the side, Sablin was holding a chain saw halberd and was tapping on this vent to confirm its strength.
“At the beginning, I said it would be better to wear the unyielding type. This riding type is too heavy.”
“You think you are going shopping and there are other options?”
Hearing Li Lin's endless complaints on the public channel, Sablin turned around and glanced at him and said:
"Stop talking, I'm getting tired of talking all the time."
Bach Ram smiled and bent down and walked out of the cabin on the side, and then looked at Sablin.
“There is no problem here, a crew living area, empty.”
“This vent is also solid, don’t worry about it for now.”
"Then the front area is all that's left."
Then Bahram turned around and walked a few steps to Talos. The company commander was also wearing a Terminator and was talking to the recruits around him. As he said something, at his feet were the fresh corpses of two gene stealers.
“Don’t be fooled by the appearance of this beast. They look very fragile. In fact, they still have some attack power after taking two explosive bombs, especially their claws. This is a very scary thing. , even though the Terminator on our body is so thick, it is not much tougher than the iron skin, let alone the power armor on your body, so it is best to avoid close combat."
After saying that, he turned around. He looked towards Bahram.
“Have you finished checking?”
"Confirmation completed."
"Okay, let's continue."
Taros waved his hand and the team began to move.
The Eleventh Company now has 58 people, 23 of whom were the first batch of recruits and are now considered veterans, and the remaining 35 were transformed with the third batch of recruits - this time Sosh Yang brought the new recruits with him. After all, this abandoned ship was also a good training ground. This was another reason why he chose to play it slow.
As for the defense of the home star, there are more than 200 warriors left behind by the Traces of Victory and various chapters, as well as a certain number of fleets, as well as all the auxiliary armies of the chapters, and there are knight families. What will be the problem.
The 11th Company entered the last area they needed to clear. It was a small market where residents traded with each other. The space was not large, but the terrain was quite complicated and there were many obstacles.
23 Iron Cavalry Terminators formed a thick high wall, walking among the ruins, while the recruits behind them covered the rear and flanks.
The rays of the searchlight kept scanning the dark corners, trying to find something.
Perhaps because of the suppressed positivity here, the talkative Li Lin couldn't help but chat in the channel. "Company Commander, I heard that you didn't wear Terminators before, right?"
"It's not that I don't want to. Not everyone can wear the Terminator. Only the elite are qualified to wear it. In the future, if you are lucky enough or unlucky enough, you will have the opportunity to meet those people."
"Those people? What are their names--"
With a scream, a tall, slender alien figure jumped down from above, interrupting Li Lin's words.
He looked up, and the others followed his gaze, and the proximity alarm sounded from the armor of each Terminator.
And Sablin immediately changed his body shape, picked up the chain saw halberd, and prepared to face the attack falling from the sky.
However, the next moment, the enemy rushed out from a wall corroded by acid, and the target was a recruit instead of a terminator.
“Be careful!”
The recruit heard a warning from Bahram beside him and turned around.
Something crystal-like burst out from the darkness, knocking the unsteady recruit to the ground, and Talos' chain saw split the thing in two from the waist almost at the same instant.
“They are coming!”
The huge corpse fell to the ground with a thud. Others hurriedly helped their comrades stand up, while the attackers took this opportunity to get closer to the lighting range of the searchlight.
Figures covered with chitin carapace and biological armor appeared in front of them. These guys were taller than those they encountered before, and their shapes were like some kind of nightmare that human beings have been twisted and stretched into. The same creatures will appear.
They have an independent name, aberrations, in the alien roster of the Imperial Biological Sages.
These mutated monsters are part of the reproductive cycle of the disgusting Genestealers. Although what kind of strange process creates the aberrations is still unknown, perhaps it is the quirks of some ancestral creatures that determine their Destiny, maybe the genetic pattern is distorted, maybe the genetic implants of the original host are destroyed and distorted, or maybe the cross-breeding of chicken thieves appears in a twisted and chaotic place or the location of witchcraft rituals, whether it is Whatever created this creature, these aberrations stumble through the darkness and inflict horrific violence on their enemies.
Although most aberrations are hybrids, as time goes by, aberrations will also appear in purebloods that continue to reproduce themselves. The spine of this creature extends into a muscular tail, with the end It has a barb sharp enough to cut through muscle, bone, and even Space Marine armor.
What the 11th Company faced was this terrifying biological behemoth.
After roaring, they rushed over, sweeping the rubble in front of them to both sides, screaming and launching an attack with inhuman agility.
"Woohoo! Come on!"
Li Lin raised his storm bolter and fired bolt after bolt at the rampaging monsters, and others followed suit.
The Genestealers jumping out of the darkness and ruins were shot one after another, crushed or interrupted, and then fell to the ground.
Among them, the obviously huge aberrations dispersed nimbly, charging from different directions, running at high speed with four sensitive arms and strong legs, and acid continuously flowing out from their mouths full of sharp teeth - pure blood aberrations The biggest difference between human beings and hybrid aberrations is that they have flexibility that hybrids do not have. The corresponding price is that their fully mature claws can no longer hold weapons.
But that tearing claw is already one of the most efficient killing weapons in the galaxy.
