Chapter 2899 Codename: Broken Sword
As the double hatches of the Night Crow Black Star gunship opened, the Space Wolf holding a battle ax jumped down first, followed by Nurus holding the power sword, and everyone Wearing a helmet, outsiders can only identify them by their respective armor, weapons and markings.
As soon as the six Death Watch landed on the ground, they immediately attacked the Tyranids who rushed into the gap in the wall. Nulus took the lead, knocked away a knife insect that jumped over, and slashed left and right, killing him easily. Small creatures around him, and then a warrior bug stopped in front of him. The Death Watch rushed over silently. The alien roared in response and jumped over. The two bone blades were swung like the wind, but they were all blocked by the power sword one by one. Block, just when the crossed bone blades were held horizontally by the power sword after another collision, the warrior insect immediately roared, and Nulus just used the other hand to pull out the bolt pistol from his waist and aimed at The opponent's waist was slammed with two shots. When the Tyranid warrior lowered his head after being injured, a sword pierced the opponent's side ribs. The force was so strong that it almost lifted the opponent. Then he grabbed the warrior insect's neck and tore off the head forcefully.
"Captain Bahram, following the instructions of Captain Soshyan, we are here to cover the tenth company."
While speaking to Bahram, Nulus glanced at He looked at the scattered limbs and broken arms around the other party, there were probably as many as seven or eight samurai bugs, and then glanced at the Screaming Killer who was lying face down outside the gap.
Bahram had known in advance that there would be support troops, but he did not expect it to be the Death Watch. However, he did not show his surprise and just nodded.
“Thank you, uh, what’s your name?”
“Nurus.”
“Ah, thank you for your support, Brother Nurus.”
The conversation between the two was quickly interrupted. They looked away and saw a towering figure coming through the mist.
It is covered in a thick sticky chitin shell, with liquid flames constantly dripping from the purple yellow spots. While emitting a strong sulfurous stench, it also projects a threatening halo outward, as if it were a moving volcano. And its four thick arms hold four huge bone blades that are enough to split an overweight tank. Beating psychic arcs can be seen on the sharp blades. On its head with a golden horn, two emotionless eyes stare. Looking at the two Space Marines behind the gap, their long tails with hooks slowly swung behind them.
It is the Hive Tyrant that has "died" once. As long as this creature does not completely destroy the Hive Fleet, it can be resurrected again and again in the mothership, and it can also store its previous memories in the Gestalt. The knowledge, personality and experience are copied into the new body. Almost every hive tyrant is a nearly immortal existence. No matter how many times the body is killed, it will always return to continue to devour its prey.
It has not shown up before because it is afraid of the existence that once killed it. Now even the hive consciousness has no good countermeasures against individuals with such combat power, so it tries its best to make high-value nodes like Tyrant It did not appear in the opponent's attack field of view, but the fierce attack continued for nearly a month. After the super individual was not detected, the hive consciousness judged that the opponent was either absent or unable to fight for some reason, and then dispatched The tyrant comes to the front lines to direct attacks on various strongholds.
The Poisonous Smoke Bug's steady advancement tactics come from the tyrant's handiwork. This is the best judgment made after considering the limits of human firepower.
Now it appears to push down the last outer stronghold. At this time, it is also surrounded by twelve tyrant guards. Each of these two-legged and four-armed creatures covered with extremely thick armor They are all larger than a Leman Russ. They move more like some kind of large ape. They like to walk on all fours with their strong forelimbs. At the same time, they are also very rare and do not have eyes, or they do not need eyes, because they themselves Just an "extension of the Tyrant's body, the Hive Tyrant will control the guards through synapses, giving them the direction they need to move, reminding them of nearby threats, and arranging them to maximize their resistance to enemy attacks. On the other hand, the eyes will become the target of enemy attacks." A weakness becomes a gap in the flawless armor, causing them to fail in performing their duties
The only value of their birth is to protect the Hive Tyrant.
However, these guards made corresponding changes to the battlefield. The two crushing pincers were replaced by one, and the other melee weapon was replaced by a stun cannon. The bone spurs fired by this weapon are attached to There are tendrils that emit bioelectric shocks that can not only destroy organic matter, but also paralyze mechanical creations.
The Tyrant did not attack directly, but let out a roar that made the earth tremble, and then a large number of Tyranid creatures rushed out of the poisonous mist.
"A tyrant, if we could behead it."
Nurus stared at the tyrant, as if thinking about how to destroy it. "Perhaps these Tyranids can be dismantled."
But Bahram didn’t think so and just shook his head.
“We don’t have so many troops now, and it is very careful to stay in the guard. If it charges hard, the casualties will be heavy. The chapter leader has explained that the mission is just to delay, not to fight.”
Then Bahram turned on the communicator and said only one sentence.
“Stronghold No. 7, Broken Sword.”
Then he turned to Nulus.
“We need to move the defense line back now and abandon this wall.”
Nurus didn’t say anything. After all, it was up to the guest to do as he pleased. This was a battle directed by others, so he nodded. , beckoning the other five people to start retreating.
Soon, a Voss Strike Lightning fighter jet roared over. Regardless of the gargoyles and sky witches, it fired several missiles directly towards the wall that was about to be overcome by the Tyranids.
Boom——
After the not-so-violent explosion, the dying screams of the Tyranid creatures rang out. Nulus looked at the green living fire that filled the air and whispered:
"Phosphate weapons."
"It's been a long time since we've seen a weapon like this."
One of the Kill Team said, the markings on his shoulders indicating he was from the Birds of Prey Chapter.
“I’ve only seen it once, when it was dropped by the Adeptus Mechanicus during the war against the greenskins in Nuka Senwei.”
The rolling phosphorus fire caused the metal protective wall to melt like ice cream on fire. Along with it, a large group of nearby Tyranid creatures, ranging from tearing bugs to executioners, could only be turned into ashes in the flames. The quality carapace's defense against phosphorus fire is not strong.
"It is said that some of this kind of weapon is also stored in the Watch Fortress, but the quantity is very small. Have you noticed that the Astral Knight's arsenal is a bit unusual?"
Shoulder The words of the warrior who was engraved with the mark of the Avenging Angels Chapter aroused different attitudes from the other five people.
"Of course it's not normal. This is the Tenth Company. Guess what I saw? Their recruits are randomly equipped with various plasma weapons, melt weapons, and power weapons. Hey, even Wolf Fang doesn't have them. So rich.”
