"No!"
Kesal witnessed the crazy monster with three legs and two bladed arms kill Metz, his biological brother.
The glowing green blade easily cut through the shield with the battle group mark, as if the metal shield with a micro-position generator that could block small-caliber weapons was just a piece of parchment, and the blade pierced it smoothly. After entering the body behind the shield, the moment the chest was pierced, the white swords on the shield turned red.
Then the metal beast pulled back its weapon and howled wildly with static noise. Metz's blood splashed on the comrades around him.
But the killing continued, and the sharp blade came out again and inserted into another helmet.
It was an unstoppable carnage, and Kessal had seen it kill dozens of people since it burst out of the smoke. This guy was deadly to anyone.
Although they kept attacking it with the Purgatory Spear and burned a considerable part of its body, it did not slow down the attack at all. It seemed to exist for more bloodshed - even once Seeing it can make people feel chilled and their enthusiasm for fighting is like falling into an ice cave.
But it is just one of them. There are dozens of beasts like it on the battlefield on the west side of Scorch Oven City.
This melee was the cruelest he had ever seen in his service.
Cold metal skeletons walked out of the huge pyramid rising from the cracks in the earth. The weapons in their hands fired again and again, triggering bursts of scarlet blood rain. The skitarii and the star realm who formed the front line The auxiliary troops of the Knight Chapter used their steely perseverance to resist the crazy attacks of these metallic aliens.
Kesar and his brother Metz have served in the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Pashtiban Regiment for ten years. Their father is a member of the Astral Knights Auxiliary Force, and their grandfather participated in the heroic Battle of the Fallen Star in the regiment. Still a company commander - Kessler also grew up hearing many shocking stories about his grandfather's battle.
For as long as he can remember, he has always longed for glory in battle. Relying on his status as a "military dependent", he and his brother entered the most elite [Pashti class] of the battle group directly from the selection stage. It was an exciting honor, and although their youngest brother also wanted to join the army, the Chapter had a rule that the last child in a family was not allowed to join the army.
After that, they kept training, training, and occasionally went home for vacation to get married and have children, or participate in some insignificant practical training.
To be honest, Kessler and his comrades have muttered more than once why they couldn't go to the battlefield. Even the Maelstrom Expedition that everyone was looking forward to was not sent until it was over, so that some people laughed at themselves. They themselves are toys in expensive gear, just for viewing.
Kesal himself was worried that he might not be able to actually go on the battlefield until he retired.
Could it be that the chapter leader has no confidence in them?
It wasn't just him who had such suspicions, everyone else should have had it too, until they suddenly received an order to go on an expedition, and everyone finally became excited.
At first, he said that he came to a forging world to suppress the gene stealers. In fact, Kesal was still a little discouraged, because this was hardly a real enemy, but it was better than doing nothing.
During the attack on the Red Temple, their battalion was the first to rush in. Although it was an opportunistic choice to choose a side entrance with little defense, it still received a commendation for it. Kessler was also fighting. Killed and assassinated six aliens.
No matter what, it is a good thing to see blood. A soldier who has not seen blood will feel embarrassed if he says it. The battle after that seemed to be dull again, just catching sporadic aliens like mice in some ruins. I originally thought that the battle would be like this.
Unexpectedly, an order came from above. All the troops of the Pashti Ban were transferred to Scorch Oven City for defense, and a lot of information about strange aliens such as "Necrons" were distributed to them, sir. They also made it very clear that the main goal of the next battle is this.
Now everyone is on alert. The description of this thing is not on the same level as that of a gene stealer. The weapon is marked as extremely lethal.
This is indeed the case.
When the violent earthquake occurred, all of them gathered under the command of the officers despite the strong shaking. The area they were responsible for was the east side of Scorch Oven City, and they were accompanied by several supporting personnel. The teaching army and a combat robot regiment, as well as all the tanks and heavy artillery of the Pashti Ban were also in place immediately.
However, the first thing that appeared was not the imaginary metal aliens, but the lost gene stealers. They ran crazy out of the huge subsidence smoke formed by the earthquake as if they were being chased by something, even though they were greeted by humans. ruthless massacre.
No need for soldiers to do anything, tanks and artillery used earth-shaking roars to tear apart these aliens that tainted human genes.
But this was just an appetizer, and soon they saw their real opponents.
From the huge pits sunk deep in the Coke Oven City, glassy black pyramids rose up one after another. Their shells were made of sparkling obsidian, and their tops were golden. They were filled with smoke and strong reflections. A large group of them Small creatures crawl across its surface with mechanical gaits, glowing and roaring with alien runes when activated.
Caesar saw at least fifteen such pyramids with his own eyes.
At the same time, the sky also began to scream, and the obvious vibrations caused by the crescent-shaped alien fighters cutting the air crossed the wide battlefield. When they circled in an irregular arc above the heads of the human army and screamed, Kesal Having to grit my teeth to fight the debilitating torture and sting.
Fortunately, they left then. They were attracted by the aircraft passing by at high speed in the sky, and flew towards the mechanical city in the distance, where anti-aircraft weapons were waiting for them.
When the soldiers' hearing recovered, a stronger roar came.
That was the sound of armored troops and artillery starting to bombard those pyramids, including the heavy weapons of the Skitarii. All kinds of artillery shells, rockets, beams, and plasma flew towards the slow-moving pyramids like raindrops. Alien creation.
The next second, there was a grand fireworks show. The flames soared into the sky even hundreds of meters high. Kessler even joked with his brother that nothing could survive this kind of firepower.
But reality slapped him mercilessly in the face. When the firepower in the distance weakened slightly, the shimmering giant pyramids were still moving forward slowly. There were almost no scars on them, and only two seemed to be missing. , but then they also appeared, but with obvious cracks on them.
It’s not useless, but it’s not enough.
