Chapter 3055: Elite Soldiers of Fanatic Faith
“Eternal God Emperor, walking with you, we must win, because you have already won!”
At the last sentence, the preacher almost roared voice, and raised the warhammer high.
"The God Emperor is the Greatest!" (Old Mo had to complain, for the sake of xx is not like a religious slogan)
The speaker was responded to by a tsunami of praise, even overshadowing it He heard the cannon fodder and the roar of aliens in the distance.
"The Divine Emperor is the greatest!"
The soldiers shouted and knelt down. Everyone knelt down neatly three times, putting their foreheads on the ground each time. After finishing, they picked up their guns and shot the Sky Eagle. The badge hung on the butt of the gun, stood up, and roared in unison.
In the name of the God Emperor! We will fight to the death!
“It’s incredible that the state religion still has such elite soldiers.”
Murad, wearing a Terminator, stood on a destroyed executioner’s body, looking at this team named The troops of Faith Watch formed a formation and rushed to the battlefield in a mighty manner, with surprise that could not be concealed on their faces.
At first he thought the Faith Watch was a slightly better militia, but when Soshiyan told him that the State Church had invested heavily in turning this principle quasi-militia into an elite force, Murad was also quite surprised. After all, in addition to Except for a few war groups, most war groups actually have very little contact with the state religion, and they will not take a very serious look at this faction that plays a decisive role in the imperial system.
Judging from the current situation, even if there is no battle yet, what they have shown is indeed not at the level of ordinary militiamen. Whether it is operational efficiency, discipline, or the fanaticism for fighting, they are already there. reached the level of the Astra Militarum.
“Company Commander, isn’t this a violation of the taming order?”
The flag-bearer standing behind Murad asked a question. Murad thought for a while and replied:< br>
“The Taming Edict was already five thousand years ago. At this time, the state religion can probably find enough loopholes to exploit, although this loophole does seem to be a bit big.”
Then, a burst of movement attracted his attention. Murad blinked as he looked at the armored formation rumbling past.
Hundreds of Leman Russ tanks and Malcador tanks formed an assault formation, kicking up dust in the sky. Each one of them is a work of art, with gorgeous hymns engraved on the armored shell, and There are torches, small metal statues and scrolls, especially the Malcador tank. This ancient tank has even been basically retired from the armory of the Eleventh Legion. The Malcador formations that helped the Astral Knights fight in the early days have become It became a cultural relic, but a huge number of Machado heavy tanks suddenly appeared here in the state church. Some of the Machado heavy tanks had their turrets removed and replaced with a gorgeous podium surrounded by blazing torches. , in the pulpit stood a bare-chested ascetic whipper wearing a black pointed hat. While beating himself with a spiked iron whip, he used an extremely fanatical voice to utter a passage from countless classics praising the emperor, and he The voice was spread in all directions through the twelve huge brass speakers on the podium, and could even be heard miles away.
At the same time, on both sides of this mobile podium, there is also a singing servitor with only upper body hanging on each side. Most of them are choir members who have committed crimes. Their only atonement is to retain their original perfect singing voice. , continuously chanting holy tunes praising the Emperor, and those whipping servitors following the podium also responded to the rhythm of the singing servitors with their low and hoarse vague singing voices while walking stiffly.
The fanaticism and cruelty of the state religion’s beliefs were perfectly integrated at this moment. On both sides of the armored assault group, there were a large number of armored vehicles and sentinel mechas, especially sentinel mechas. The state religion seemed to be very fond of this equipment. The number was unusually large. Murad observed with his eyes that in every infantry formation, There are double-digit sentinel mechas in action, and the state religion's sentinel mechas have some unique improvements. For example, Murad saw a way to place the main weapon, a heavy explosive bomb, in the middle of the body, with two Regarding the model of the chain saw, you must know that most sentries only have one weapon. He was curious about how the driver inside controlled the three weapons, but because it was a closed cockpit, he could not see the real situation.
In addition, he also saw a very small type of Sentinel mecha. At first, he didn't even notice this small machine. He thought it was some kind of skitarii from the Mechanicus. After taking a closer look, he discovered that it was actually a type of machine that is used today. The Empire's extremely rare light sentry mecha - Hermes Light Sentinel.
This is an extremely ancient piece of equipment. It is said that it has been widely equipped in the Imperial Army since the early days of the Great Crusade. Its height is half as high as an adult, and is about the same as Murad himself wearing a Terminator. The entire cockpit is almost completely open. There is a baffle in the front, and its weapons are deployed on the front. It looks like a weapons rack with long legs. Murad doesn't know where the state religion comes from for such ancient equipment. Did it.
However, this is not the most shocking thing.
Murad suddenly felt some trembling under his feet. When he lowered his head, he saw that the dead Tyron was shaking. Then he realized that the vibration was coming from the ground, which could make the ground shake.
“You have poison blades?”
Murad stared dumbfounded at the steel behemoth hundreds of meters away, arrogantly trampling the earth. The huge poison blade tank was almost decorated like a temple. Not only was the shell painted gold, there was even an independent tank behind the tank. There is a small shrine, and at the same time, a fanatical preacher stands in the turret, using a huge loudspeaker to repeatedly recite classic quotes from the Book of Psalms.
As the seventh company captain of the Astral Knights watched in shock, at least thirty golden-painted poison blade tanks rumbled past the armored formation of Faith Watch, and this was just one battle line.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, that’s an exaggeration.”
Murad shook his head and smacked his tongue for a moment, then said to the adjutant beside him:
“Inform all troops and act according to the predetermined plan.”
"Yes."
Soon, the gun array led by Prince Andrea of the Dupont Delin family took the lead in blowing the counterattack horn. Continuous explosions spread towards the Tyran wave, and the smoking The debris tumbled to the ground in an avalanche of rubble, debris, and dust, even mixed with hundreds of wounded xenos, their fishhook-like limbs waving in the air as they fell.
As always, the armored troops took the lead and formed a powerful iron fist, slamming towards the alien cluster. The infantry initially conducted covering fire on the still intact protective wall, but soon they also left the bunker. , started heading towards hell.
With the help of powerful assault force, the Imperial Legion successfully formed a powerful counterattack. While annihilating millions of enemies, it expanded into an area thirty kilometers long and more than ten kilometers deep. The protrusion, and then the huge transport ship began to descend from the atmosphere with scorching residual heat. Although there were a large number of Tyranid creatures in the sky trying to interfere, in the face of the overwhelming air power of the empire, the gargoyles and sky monsters could not form. A real threat.
