Chapter 2190 Star of Terra (Part 2)
Due to their proficiency in fighting underground, the Tunnel Rats are often sent to quell heretic uprisings in high-density areas such as hive cities and mining worlds. This time They were almost the last troops to arrive during the Great Crusade, and were sent directly to the brutal Badab war zone.
The combat psyker was a member of the 12th Siege Regiment. When the regiment was performing a breakthrough mission at a key underground node, it first encountered an ambush deployed by the Iron Warriors. After struggling to break through, the enemy died. During the trap, a terrifying Slaanesh demon was summoned. Most of the regiment's commanders, including the regiment leader, were killed in the battle. At this time, the battle psyker decisively adopted an extremely risky strategy, first letting the regiment The other three psykers let go of their hearts, linked the four souls together, and then removed their own psionic restriction collars. With their brains almost boiling, they exerted a power close to that of a gamma-level psyker, and brought the demon together. The group of wizards who summoned it were annihilated together, and the other three psykers were all killed afterwards. He was the only one who survived by chance, but his brain was also permanently damaged, he lost control of his limbs, and could only move with the help of mechanical equipment.
The loyal stormtrooper is a veteran in his fifties. His deeds include but are not limited to sneaking into important enemy strongholds alone to assassinate enemy commanders, single-handedly going deep behind enemy lines to destroy enemy arsenals. It is destroyed when the enemy performs evil witchcraft.
The most notable feature is that all tasks are completed by one person, and its infiltration level is evaluated by the Ministry of Military Affairs as "far superior to any assassin of the Assassin Court". It is said that His favorite infiltration prop is an ordinary-looking cardboard box. Soshyan is not sure whether it is true or some kind of far-fetched rumor.
As for the company chaplain, Soshyan personally feels that he is far less legendary than the others. He is a chaplain of the Maelstrom Native Sign Corps. He has participated in battles in Endymion, Lamptan and other areas, and is the most prominent. An example is that his regiment was surrounded by enemies during a battle in the Crow System due to communication and command problems. When the soldiers were shaken and almost collapsed, the chaplain held the regiment flag in one hand and waved a chain saw in the other. Rushing towards the enemy alone, according to the testimony of the soldiers at the time, the scene was probably -
"We were surrounded, surrounded by enemies. Almost all the regiment commanders and company commanders were killed. We were done playing, and then The priest raised his chain saw and prayed loudly to the sky. When these words echoed in the silent battlefield, lightning came and made the sky bright. Then he grabbed the regimental flag and charged towards the enemy. I swear to the throne. We were all full of courage, and everyone followed the priest in the charge. The enemy was frightened and pissed. Then the reinforcements arrived and we were saved. It was a miracle of the throne."
In fact, Soshyan suspected. , the addition of a priest by the Ministry of Military Affairs may have been interfered by the state church, but this priest is indeed full of courage and has led the team out of desperate situations several times. It is a miracle that he can survive to this day.
The last veteran is also a legend. He is a Kashezin sergeant from the 88th Cadian Mechanized Infantry Regiment named Ben Yevrian.
Soshiyan has seen some of the past combat examples of this elite Sergeant Major Kashezin in the regimental flag newspaper published within the Ministry of Military Affairs. The Kulul Commando under his leadership has completed many tasks even with the interstellar It is a difficult task for a warrior by standard, and he himself is also a tough guy among tough guys. He has not only destroyed many terrible aliens, but also faced the enemy's Chaos Space Marines alone.
The 88th Cadian Mechanized Infantry Regiment also participated in the Battle of Badab. Ben Yevrian and his commandos used heavy weapons to annihilate thirteen Demon Engines during the battle, and he himself also used melta weapons in the battle. Killed an enemy Chaos Terminator at close range.
“You are a role model for all soldiers, the embodiment of the Emperor’s holy wrath, and a walking legend. Aliens will be shaken by your name, heretics will be frightened by your name, and you As expected, I will give the heretics the harshest blows and punishments. Therefore, on behalf of the High Command of the Expeditionary Force, I hereby award you with the greatest Star of Terra Medal in recognition of your transcendent will and spirit as well as your eternal merits. "
Soshyan said, picking up the box made of gold from the red velvet doily held by the attendant. Inside lay a sparkling medal, which was golden yellow in color and inlaid in the middle. There is a miniature model of Holy Terra carved in crystal, with a laurel wreath around the edge, and a small relief of text, engraved with the first sentence on the first page of the Ministry of War Manual - Human courage and perseverance will Forever engraved under the starry sky.
The first person to receive the medal was Colonel Stark. He solemnly saluted Soshyan with a military salute, but he used his new robotic arm - his previous arm was replaced by a The Slaanesh beast was bitten off, and he beat the demon to death with his fists. Looking at this tough guy among Catachan's tough guys, Soshyan smiled and teased:
"Colonel Stark, are you using your new arm smoothly?"
Stark grinned and replied:
"It still needs to be adjusted, just like my ninth wife, who always has a little temper."
Soshyan was also amused by this humorous answer, and then came to Huck, who also raised his chest and raised his head to salute him with a military salute. The strong man seemed to have just a few more scars on his body. It was hard to imagine that he used The heavy explosive bomb "smashed" a Chaos Dreadnought to death alive.
"Sergeant Harker, I heard that your arm strength is the best in the entire army. Many soldiers in the battle group want to compete with you."
Soshyan also smiled when handing the medal to the other party.
Huck replied easily:
"Sir, I am available at any time."
When he came to Les Mabo, this " The "Legendary" level soldier just gave a casual salute, and his attitude could even be called "disrespectful", but Soshyan didn't care very much, but no matter how he looked at it, this person didn't seem to be very "special", at least. In terms of strength, he is not as strong as Harker, but his deeds are too "magical". For example, many soldiers have proved that during the defensive operations of the Destruction Moon, he knocked down enemy Space Marines with his bare hands more than once, and then used his fists to survive He beat the opponent to death and "dismantled" a Hell Beast and a Hammer Demon Engine with a fighting knife.
But from the outside, he is a cold, even gloomy Catachan soldier. The only "bright spot" is the red bandage on his forehead.
"Sergeant Mabo, congratulations on getting another Terra Star Medal. Having a legend like you is a blessing for this expedition."
Mabo just nodded and said nothing. He took the medal with one hand, but without even looking at it, he put it directly into his trouser pocket, as if it was just a small object of little value. Even Huck and Stark frowned, especially Stark. , he has repeatedly told the other party, just this once, not to show that bad face, at least not to cause trouble to the group.
