Chapter 2897 Mutant Executioner
Averting his gaze, Hayes did not think too much. He believed that the commanders would arrange everything, and they only had two tasks at the moment.
Fight and stay alive.
"Aim at those gun bugs first! Fire!"
As Hayes yelled, he heard the sound of rockets, autocannons and howitzers, and then the laser gun salvos began. , multi-limbed monsters bent on destroying everything formed a wave, and explosions continued to explode among them. The karma fire of hell illuminated their terrifying alien faces, and as always, there was nothing on them.
"Boys, don't be afraid, don't relax. We are standing on the wall, surrounded by our comrades and the great Astartes. When you shoot, aim at their flesh, otherwise your guns will be useless if they hit their carapace. None, and pay attention to your battery life, today may be very long, you don't want to deal with those guys with bare hands! And, the last thing, protect yourself, don't die, otherwise you will do it again! I can’t see the choir composed of beautiful nuns singing anymore!”
Realizing that today may be a fierce battle, Hayes gave his morale-boosting speech a little unfamiliarly, although these words were well received. Some laughs.
But he could see that the tense faces of some of the young soldiers did relax a little, which proved that someone needed it.
After all, it can be seen with the naked eye that many people are extremely nervous. Even brainless fools cannot turn a blind eye to the terror of Tyran. Moreover, anyone with eyes can see that this time Tyran is " It's serious." They not only kill people, but also eat people. It's very scary to think about turning yourself into biomass and then transforming into other things.
At this time, the firepower on the top of the parapet was quite stable. Even the Space Marines appeared on the top of the wall. Hayes took a moment to look at those tall warriors. They fired in an orderly manner with bolters. Volley after volley fired into the darkness, each bullet briefly illuminating the surrounding area.
Some also set up heavy plasma machine guns, and the firepower of the shots was enough to smash the warrior bugs.
During this process, Hayes noticed that some companies with serious losses were withdrawing from the wall. They boarded Centaur transport vehicles one after another and seemed to be moving towards the landing zone.
In other words, his guess was right and the troops were withdrawing.
This is good news and bad news.
The good news is that the higher-ups have no intention of defending here. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as the poisonous fog spreads, defense is no longer realistic. However, Hayes is afraid of the kind of person who insists on defending at all costs. order, at least that didn't happen.
The bad news is, of course, that they can no longer defend this place, which means that the war situation is already very bad.
Retreating is not an easy task. As the troops withdraw one after another, the frontline defenses will begin to weaken. And now it happens to be the time of the Tyranid attack. It is difficult not to suspect that these bugs are It was discovered that humans were about to retreat before launching a general attack.
Generally, in this situation, the rear troops must be left behind. In this situation, the rear troops are basically equivalent to death. Although it was not brave enough to think so, Hayes still prayed that they would not become these unlucky ones.
A sudden noise attracted his attention to the right, where a situation occurred at a gate, and a group of flying warriors suddenly appeared. At the top of the wall, the surrounding soldiers immediately jumped away, screaming like crazy, tearing at their faces and chests.
Those flying warriors poured a stream of exploding bugs towards the wall, covering the surrounding area with acid. The acid was so strong that it could burn through almost anything, and it would be absolutely fatal if it splashed on exposed skin.
And their attack methods don't stop there. When they open their mouths, they can also spray biological flames with a sulfurous stench from their mouths. Any armor that touches it will be immediately ignited. Only Power armor is immune to this type of fire.
Hayes wanted to move his eyes away from there, hoping to close his ears and not listen to the miserable scream, but the situation was actually worse.
An executioner reached the parapet under fire. It was almost as tall as the parapet. Two of its arms grew into some kind of living firearms, while the other two had whip-like tentacles and serrated bone swords. , a thick tail swaying between its legs, each thorn on it is as long as a human arm, its big mouth can bite a person in half in two bites, and its body is covered with chitin carapace and exoskeletons.
This is a variant of the Executioner that has never been registered. Countless plasma and explosive projectiles were fired at it, but it was like scratching an itch. It only made cracks on the carapace, and then it shot towards the crowd at the gate. The poisonous cannonball, the corrosive acid instantly turns the person it comes into contact with into a puddle of pus. Then it opens its mouth and spits out a ball of biological flames with the stench of sulfur, creating a wall of fire more than three hundred meters long on the wall. , after completing all this, it stretched its head to the sky and let out a terrible howl, which surged over the city wall like a wave, making people tremble in fear.
"Don't mess up! The Emperor is watching us!"
With a roar, Bahram ran towards the precarious gate on the right with the broken-horned evil star in his hand. He easily knocked down the knife bugs along the way, and then walked directly from the guard. He jumped down from the high platform on the wall, activated the jetpack behind him, and landed directly on the wall at the same height as the executioner. His weight crushed the rocks under him and flew them away.
The executioner paused for a moment, his small eyes staring at the small creature that suddenly appeared. Its arms stretched back more than the length of a tank, and the sound it roared from its bloody mouth was even It can be heard outside the world.
In response, Bahram took out his melta pistol and pulled the trigger towards its head.
The blazing flames penetrated the carapace, but the executioner tilted his head in time. The severe pain made him go crazy, and his arms swept across the protective wall, smashing the solid alloy wall directly into a big hole. , and then sprayed acid cannons on the parapet.
Bahram activated the plasma jet package to fly into the air and fired again. This shot hit the executioner's neck, leaving a large ablation mark on it.
Seizing the opportunity, the tenth captain of the Astral Knights directly changed direction and landed on the executioner's back. When he inserted the broken-horned evil star into the alien's neck, the beast was distracted. Twisting his neck to the side, the wound painfully spurted out a stream of acid.
Bahram drew out his sword and jumped back. Although part of his gauntlet was burned black, he still escaped most of the acid. Then he found a weak point between the two spines and used the melt pistol again. shooting.
The pained executioner shook his neck violently, and at the same time two warrior bugs rushed towards him. Bahram reacted, let go of his hand and left the monster's back, and activated his backpack to rush towards a warrior bug. Go, sweep the long sword in mid-air, cut off the warrior's head directly, and shouted when he landed:
"Jacob!"
