Chapter 366: The Holy Maiden Arrives
++ Think of the Day: Burn Out Heresy! Kill the xenos! Purify the Evil! ++
It is not that Don was without his experience of desperate battles, and it should be said that every soldier who was able to become an attaché to the Inquisition faced countless battlefields and faced countless enemies. But trapped in an underground abandoned experimental base, facing tens of thousands of Tyranid Zerg - I am afraid that only the God Emperor and his old man can kill the Taran unscathed in this situation.
"His Highness St. Giles must have faced ten times more enemies on Divine Terra than we do." Donn changed another magazine, and they placed a few trigger-type mines in the breach of the base, and everyone did their best to pour their firepower outside. Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to press all the higher-level Zerg soldiers in one go, but just blindly drove the knife and insect to charge, so everyone could still hold this entrance and exit for a while.
This breach is about four or five meters square, and now there are still four people left who still have combat effectiveness: Inquisitor, Donne, Mary, and Yarrow. The Space Wolf simply wrapped his stomach and picked up a flamethrower to fire at the Tyranids, spitting flames like his noble rage, bringing untold deaths to the Zerg in a tidal wave.
In the Horus Rebellion 10,000 years ago, the rebels who swept half of the galaxy landed on the sacred Earth Terra, and the Star Marine Legion that was urgently repatriated at that time included the Holy Blood Angel Legion, as well as the legendary genetic prototype of the Holy Blood Angel, St. Giles, who had wings like an angel.
Hundreds of Blood Angels died heroically in the Battle of the Lion's Gate, and as the rebels approached the Gate. St. Giles single-handedly withstood the endless World Eater Legion, the rebels, and the demons from Chaos for a day and a night, and even beheaded a bloodthirsty demon beneath the Sadistic Throne with his own hands. Keep all Chaos forces out of the Imperial Sanctuary. His valiant battle succeeded in delaying precious time, causing the defenders to wait for the Imperial Fist Legion's Sky Fortress to come back to help.
Although St. Giles died most of the later by the psionic curse of the Great Rebel Horus. But his miraculous battles remain a part of the history of the empire, immortalized in poetry and frescoes.
"If St. Giles is revealed, maybe we will be saved." Don smiled bitterly.
"Fight to the last moment. There will be reinforcements coming. Inquisitor Progaste coughed twice, the hell pistol in her hand was already hot, but she didn't realize it, and she continued to pour fire.
"There's not much grenade left." Mary adjusted the heavy laser rifle to burst fire, and for a moment it became the most powerful defense point in the crowd.
“…… It's a little strange, why do they only attack with knife worms? The Space Wolf roared as he shot, "If you change the volcanic worm to aim for a bombardment." We're at least half dead, and we can't hold it! ”
"Don't crow's mouth! Maybe the other side is stupid enough to use this kind of fueling tactic! Halfway through Don's words, he felt unreliable, "No." They are stealth combat, so they don't have the heavy offensive firepower of the Volcanic Bug. So don't worry about that......"
Mary screamed as she shot, her slender fingers in tactical gloves all blood-red from pulling the trigger: "But they have python-like bugs......!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but look at the ground, and the steel ground was shaking regularly.
Suddenly, a large hole collapsed in the ground, and the space wolf quickly pulled out two grenades. I pressed the red button at the top and threw it in. After two muffled sounds, a weak wail came from the bottom of the tunnel, and there was no sound for the time being.
"It's not going to be held here. Retreat inside. The judge immediately gave the order.
Su Jing was still lying on the ground and did not wake up from the coma. The commissar carried him on his back. Everyone began to retreat into the passage in an orderly manner, and the Space Wolf turned all the remaining grenades into induction trigger mode and arranged them all along the road.
After running inside the base for two minutes. Behind him came a series of explosions, followed by the sound of building materials collapsing. In this case. The rest of the people didn't know where to retreat, so they simply found a place that looked like a canteen to stop.
“…… Sooner or later, they'll dig in. Donn's face was covered in sweat. He didn't even notice it. He put Su Jing on a table, and the expression on the outsider's face was very serene, and he didn't see any nervousness or anything like that.
"You slept peacefully. I don't know when I'll be able to get up. Yarrow's face was getting more and more ugly, and purple blood was still oozing from his abdomen.
"Are we going to die?" Mary whispered as she sat on a stool with her sniper rifle in her arms.
"You're the one who knows how to be psionic." Tang En smiled bitterly, "The daily life of the soldiers is like this today—all the plans have become a piece of shit. In my military experience, eight out of ten times out of 10 plans formulated by the General Staff had led to unexpected troubles. ”
"Do you have two more times that you have been able to execute the plan normally?" Yarrow brushed his beard with his fingers, "That's good." I've seen a lot of recruits get killed in whole groups the first time they go into battle, and they don't even have time to fart. ”
"I want to go home......" Mary sobbed as she held her sniper rifle.
All three couldn't help but glance at her, but no one reprimanded her. As a political commissar, Don didn't think that a speech at this time would make things better.
Even Inquisitor Progaste pulled out a cigarette out of nowhere and lit it. The remaining two also relaxed their postures a little.
"That's not bad, you don't have to worry about your wounds anymore." Yarrow laughed wildly, "Everyone is going to die anyway. It's better to kill it while you still have the strength and cut a few more bugs. ”
"Pray. If the Divine Emperor and his old man were to show their faces, maybe a bolt of thunder would drop down and kill them all. Don laughed too. He held the rosary in his hand and used his saber to engrave a prayer on the blaster pistol, which was already densely engraved with prayers in Gaugothic.
"Here we are." The inquisitor suddenly burst into words.
"What's coming?"
Progaste clawed the servo skull suspended in mid-air, the skeleton's eyes glowing green, and then staccato communication signals rang out from everyone's power armor.
"Ai ...... Prendergast...... Trial...... Confessional Rose ......"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Confessional Rosary Order. A branch of the Order of the Holy Blood Rosary. The planet where the monastery headquarters is stationed is fifteen light-years away. The Half-Zerg Inquisitor recited the message fluently, pausing for two seconds before adding. I've applied for backup, but I've never heard of them interfering here. ”
The Congregation of Anglican Sisters is subordinate to the Anglican Church and the Inquisition. There are two origins, the Holy Monastery (located in Olifia VII) and the First Monastery (located in Holy Terra), which in turn gave birth to six congregations: "Our Martyrdom", "Silver Shroud", "Ebony Grail", "Holy Rose", "Holy Blood Rose", and "Heart of Courage". From these six initial orders, many smaller orders were branched out or new ones were founded. The Sisters of Battle, revered by the people of the Empire for their unwavering faith and dedication to sacrifice - their fighting style of the "Holy Trinity of Blasters, Flamethrowers, and Molten Guns" is heard even by demons in the midst of chaos.
“…… It doesn't matter which unit it is, reinforcements are reinforcements! Yarrow slammed his fist on the table.
At such times, the news of the arrival of reinforcements was like a shot in the arm, rekindling everyone's faith in battle, and even Mary's eyes gleamed with hope.
"He can't have an accident. Donn, take him with you. The judge pointed to Su Jing lying on the table. The political commissar immediately carried him on his back and tied Su Jing tightly to himself with a belt, as long as Tang En did not fall. Su Jing will not be left behind.
"Kill the Devil!" Yarrow raised his chainsaw axe.
At that moment, there was a blast from inside the building, followed by the noisy march of the Tyranids. This time, the other party seemed to be in a ruin, and everyone heard a different roar than before.
"Yes...... Tyrant's squire. The Inquisitor gripped the power sword in his hand, "Give it to me, big guy." ”
Next, everyone rushed out of the cafeteria in battle formation, and met the swarm of commandos in the passage.
The Zerg's Python dug through the collapsed passageway, sending the Tyranid warriors rushing in. The first person to meet is the guard who only belongs to the commander of the Zerg, the miniaturized tyrant's attendant. These elite Zerg are covered in purple-black carapaces, and they look like thick skin, just like the Zerg version of the Space Marines.
The Inquisitor let out a low, inhuman growl in her throat, and she held the infernal pistol in one hand. With a power sword in one hand, he jumped into the face of these huge monsters. The battle between the Zerg and the Zerg, Lord Progaste is like a whirlwind of killing. Leapt into the hungry jaw, spilling blood and lasers.
Each of these zergs has living firearms in their claws. Sprayed with parasites and spikes. Progaste moves nimbly through the swarms, slashing their weapons with an invincible forcefield sword. Then it is pierced into the nerve center. In front of the most elite warriors of the human race, even the warriors of the Zerg are difficult to stop.
A laser burned through the brain of a spearworm, and another powered sword met a tyrant's attendant who had been missed by the Inquisitor. The opponent's claws were disengaged by the offset force field, and the commissar's explosive arrow shot into its eye socket with precision, followed by a merciless slash.
Suddenly, an invisible coercion caused the human warriors to suddenly stop for half a second. At the end of the passage, the Lord of the Swarm, who has been blinded by one eye, stood!
Then, a blazing light appeared!
"For the Emperor!"
An angelic warrior leaps into the passage and engages the Lord of the Swarm. On her back, there was a pair of wings condensed by light, and a steel halo was inlaid on the pale golden power armor, and the whole person was like an angel who served the God Emperor in the world. She wielded a Storm Hammer nimbly, and with a single blow, she knocked the massive Hive Master out of the way a few meters away.
"It's ......," Mary was stunned.
"Living saints. (Living-Saint)" Donn sighed.
As the angel struggled, a large number of battle nuns in black and white power armor rushed into the passage, and their flamethrowers and hot melt guns swept through the Tyranid Zerg they saw along the way, and they rushed into the underground base with superior forces.
Bang!
The living saint fought the master of the swarm again, his short snow-white hair fluttering in the wind. In the next moment, the two serrated greatswords of the Lord of the Swarm had pierced through her body, lifting her into the air!
But she seemed unmoved, and the Storm Hammer swung a perfect arc and slammed into the ugly face of the Lord of the Swarm, who, with a muffled thud, whipped her out of the swarm and fled swiftly down a cave dug by a python.
The living saint who was thrown out of the coffin just rolled in mid-air and landed lightly on the ground. The wound on her chest and abdomen was enough to kill her twice, but at this moment, the white light filled her wound, and then healed along with the power armor......
As the Lord of the Swarm fled, the nuns swept through the chaotic swarm like a wind. The exhausted group stood in place, watching the angelic saint straighten his hair, retract the wings of light behind him, and stride towards them.
"Which one is Progast...... Hum. With such an obvious heterogeneous trait, you shouldn't be mistaken. As soon as she spoke, the high-voiced and slender saintess made Progast frown.
"Where's Mr. Su?" The Living Saint caught a glimpse of Su Jing lying on Tang En's quilt at a glance, and his eyebrows immediately stood up, "Your Excellency, this is your dereliction of duty." ”
"......" Progaste looked indifferent, but pursed his lips.
The attachés were all speechless by this contest between the upper echelons, the two in front of them were both big names in the imperial political and religious system, high-ranking people with tens of billions of lives in their hands, and a living saint actually came here instead of preaching and giving a lecture in any large world - even a whole group of Space Marines came to the rescue would not have made them so shocked.
“…… Revered Susanna, the living saint of the Order of the Pentent Rose. Lord Dafez. Why are you interfering in my mission? After a few seconds, Progaste spoke straight and pushed back.
"Ahem, they just saved our lives...... cough cough cough ...... And there are a lot of people...... cough cough. Don coughed loudly and whispered in the Inquisitor's ear.
"If it weren't for your intervention, we would have captured the Zerg commander." Mugwort. Inquisitor Progast rambled casually with an unchanging expression. Whether it was because of the friction between the Inquisition and the Inquisition or the contest between women, no one except her knew what to say.
"Hmph." The living saint named Suzanne sneered, noncommittal to the judge's words, "We came here to receive an edict from His Majesty the Divine Emperor. ”
For a moment, no one in the audience made a sound. (To be continued......)
