Chapter 1721 The bloody battle on Hacksaw Mountain (5)
“Get out of here! Quick!”
Realizing that the wall was about to collapse, Creed immediately shouted to his comrades around him, and everyone began to move quickly Escape, when Creed saw the communications soldiers struggling to carry heavy communications equipment, he immediately went to help.
"Let's go! Let's go!"
A few communications soldiers began to move, and Creed followed them, but suddenly he felt his feet sink.
"Captain!"
Then his whole world turned upside down. When he stopped shaking, he turned to look around and found that he was on a collapsing slope instead of falling vertically.
"I'm fine!"
When he just raised his head to greet the people above him, he suddenly smelled a strong stench and blood, accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps.
Creed quickly stood up and discovered that something was emerging from the ground where the parapet collapsed. It turned out that it had "arched" over the parapet!
"Oh, God Emperor!"
Creed swallowed his throat and looked at the terrifying existence on the battlefield - the opponent was four meters tall, had no head, and no one in his entire body. The complete outline looks like a large amount of flesh and blood randomly pieced together. The muscles can be clearly seen in the flesh-red skin. The legs are extremely thick and have hooves at the end. The ends of the three thick arms are chaotic and twisted. In contrast, The one eye hidden among the mess of fangs, big mouth and bone horns is soaked in hatred for life.
Corresponding to the ferocious beast, the filthy mist dissipates and retreats in front of this terrifying existence, as if it is also afraid of its existence, or perhaps this ferocious beast can drive them away so that it can hunt easily. .
Once this thought came to mind, Creed felt a little uneasy.
He had never seen this thing before, and he didn't know it was called a chaos egg, but he instinctively felt that it was extremely dangerous.
"Death to the monster!!"
A few nearby Cadian soldiers were eager to protect Creed and immediately shot at the monster, but it did not cause any effective damage, but instead angered it. Run with speed.
Those soldiers did not expect the opponent to be so quick. When they reacted, the monster had already swooped forward. The carapace was like old and brittle parchment in front of it. A Cadian soldier was directly pierced by the murderer. The bone horns of one of them were trembling to death, while the other one had his head cut off directly and was swallowed alive into the belly of this strange creature. The other two were cut in half in an instant. Before the God Emperor took them back to the throne, They can only wither and die in this bloodstain.
And the chaos egg roared with joy as if it was victorious.
"Grenade! Kill it with an explosion!"
Under Creed's command, more than a dozen grenades exploded near the Chaos Egg. A normal creature would die or be seriously injured due to being within the explosion radius, but it was far from enough for this subspace monster. The explosion Licking the hard surface of the Chaos Egg's crusted, almost chitinous skin, burning parts of its limbs, but more grotesque ones immediately sprouted, it didn't even feel pain, as the remains of the soldiers were scattered across the On the ground, it even blinked slowly.
In its blurred vision stained red by blood, it saw a mortal rushing towards it, holding a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other.
"Death, beast!"
Creed swung at the Chaos Egg's eye, but the opponent blocked the blow with a pincer arm.
As the blade made contact with foul skin, large scabs flew off the Chaos Egg's twisted arms, and the sword was deflected back without causing any serious damage.
Then the Chaos Egg rushed forward frantically with another claw, trying to pierce the little thing's chest.
Creed staggered back, dodged this moment, and then pushed forward again with his sword without hesitation.
A burst of swift thrusts and slashes hit the Chaos Egg. The Cadian officer used standard Cadian field swordsmanship to attack while moving back and forth, weaving a dance of death around the Chaos Egg, constantly using his sword. Hitting and stabbing each other, and ducking back after each attack, while the soldiers shot the Chaos Spawn in the back with laser guns.
The high degree of mutation protected the Chaos Spawn from much harm, but continued harassment still slowed its movements, and when the Cadians attacked, it became increasingly angry and frustrated.
So the behavior of this twisted creation became more and more violent, but every time it tried to catch or hit the little thing, the other party would quickly pull away. The incompetent and furious Chaos Egg let out a frightening roar, but instead of being afraid, Creed took the opportunity to stab a weak spot on its chest, cutting open a piece of rotten red skin.
Roar——
The Chaos Egg was stimulated again and swung its body wildly. All attacks were directed at the opponent. Creed felt the danger and tried to retreat.
Suddenly something grabbed his heel. When he looked down, he saw a mutant with no lower body. It seemed to be trying to pull up a back when it was about to die.
The Chaos Egg had pounced on him, and Creed knew there was no way out. After breaking the neck of the mutant on the ground with one kick, he thrust out his sword with all his strength, stabbing deeply into the same target and twisting it.
The stench from the Warp hit him, Creed's thrusts could not kill such a monster, and the Chaos Spawn tried to grab him, crushing the man's skull with its tentacles.
However, the next second, its limbs flew up, and then a giant sword with lightning broke out of its body, stopped a palm away from Creed's nose, and then suddenly One stroke upwards, splitting the creature in two.
Creed staggered back a few steps, then sat down on the ground, panting violently.
A giant holding a power sword towered in front of him. The armor was covered with blood and some cracks, and then stretched out his hand towards him.
"Well done, officer, you stopped a Chaos Spawn from causing more trouble."
Hearing the other party's thunderous voice, Creed, who felt as if he was in another world, nodded slightly, grabbed the other party's hand and stood up.
"Thank you very much, my lord."
Two hours after the battle began, all Chaos Space Marines on the battlefield have been wiped out, and Krieg soldiers have rushed into the main keep to clean up the last ones. The enemy was remnant, and the supporting warriors of the Tianshi Chapter also gathered near the Thunder Eagle.
“We will take the corpses of these traitors back to identify them, and at the same time we will confirm the kills to ensure that your achievements are not mistaken. You will burn the corpses of other heretics.”
Aiken Dubaku summoned the commanders of the two Astral Legions and began to convey the latest instructions.
"Have the battle losses been calculated?"
"It has been basically calculated, my lord."
Aiken Dubaku took a look and frowned.
"The 861st Krieg Regiment actually lost 2,100 people, with a total of more than 3,500 casualties? The 8th Qadian Regiment also lost 1,026 people and suffered 1,613 casualties. At the same time, it eliminated about 15,000 rebels and 32 Heretic Space Marines, and a Chaos Spawn."
After thinking for a moment, Aiken Dubaku said to the Krieg officers:
"Since the current casualties of the 861st Krieg Regiment have exceeded one-third of the total number, you guys will go to the orbital assembly point to rest after cleaning up the battlefield."
After saying that, he looked at Krieger again. Reed.
"The 8th Cadian Regiment is temporarily stationed here, waiting for the next order."
The officers of both sides saluted the Space Marines at the same time, and responded in unison:
"Yes!"
