Chapter 42: Brutal Street Fighting

On the other side, as Sivir and the others continued to go deeper, they were getting closer and closer to the lower nest.

At the junction of the lower and upper nests, heavy gates and frequent security forces would guard the passage between the upper and other parts of the nest. But when they arrived, what they saw was a ruined scene.

The heavy gate has been violently demolished, and the troops that were guarding it have been reduced to corpses on the ground.

Standing here, you can already clearly hear the crackling sound of battle in the lower nest. Sivir decided to divide his forces again, leaving a full eight companies of cathars to garrison and build fortifications, and no one was allowed to pass unless he received his own orders.

Sivir has full confidence in defeating the cultists of the Lower Nest. He was not afraid of the attack of the cultists, but he was afraid that the cultists would not attack. If the cultists avoid fighting and move around in the nest capital, that will be a big problem.

Keeping an army of 8,000 men here is enough to prevent the cultists in the lower nest from being defeated and then fleeing back to the upper nest. It can also prevent the Cultists' rangers in the upper nest from scattering and joining up with the large forces in the lower nest during the sweep of Pulis.

Sivir and the rest of his troops began to pull towards the lower nest. At this time, Sivir was surrounded by about 10,000 cathars and thirty Guardian Warband warriors.

Compared with the nearly 10 billion people in Chaodu City, it is obviously a little insufficient. But they were elite warriors who had fought many battles, and were well armed enough to remove maggots-like cultists from the Hive under Sivir's leadership.

At this time, the cultists in the lower nest are engaged in street battles between various complex buildings and the inhabitants of the lower nest. The higher areas of the lower nest have all been reduced to battlefields. Cultists and loyal subjects of the Empire fight each other for every street, every building.

Because the battlefields are mostly in buildings and the combat space is narrow, the two sides often engage in hand-to-hand combat, which is extremely cruel.

Narrow streets, complex environments, invisible enemies, invisible gunfire...... Every soldier in this war is under constant threat of death.

Fortified buildings, main streets, and commanding heights are all important targets for both sides to fight each other, and every inch of the position must be fiercely fought for with the lives of countless soldiers.

The forces of the two sides are mixed with each other and intertwined, often forming many local independent battles. Soldiers on both sides fought the enemy in every important building.

This part of the building area of the lower nest has been completely turned into a battlefield meat grinder. But the cultists and the Lower Nest residents kept throwing troops into it to keep the meat grinder running.

The Lower Nest inhabitants are there to prevent cultists from rushing into the Lower Nest and causing more casualties. Cultists, on the other hand, are mostly corrupted by evil gods and become fearless of death.

In fact, both sides have been fighting for so long that they are beginning to show their decline. Now the two sides are completely desperate, to see whether the morale of the residents of the lower nest will collapse first, or whether the cultists will be completely wiped out.

Neither side expected the battle to be so difficult, but at this point, there was no other way. Defeat in any small battle could spread to the entire front, causing the entire war to be defeated. Both sides can only go all out.

But with the addition of Sivir as a new force, the balance of victory will surely tilt in favor of the Empire.

When Sivir first arrived, he didn't know the current situation, and judging from the gunfire everywhere, the two sides were still fighting. It seems that the nest will not fall for a while. The priority is to find out who is leading the inhabitants of the Lower Nest against the cultists.

If you venture into the battlefield, you may be attacked by both sides as enemies. Sivir had all the cathars stay here, always on their toes. He and the soldiers of the Guardian Warband split up in three ways and continued to move downward, looking for the commander of the nest.

The current thirty Guardian Warband warriors, all wearing Terminator armor, possess extraordinary defensive power, and are able to defend themselves in dangerous buildings, and even launch strong counterattacks against enemies who attack them.

Divide the Astartes into three squads of ten each. There are not many people, and they are hidden enough. It won't be as noticeable as the large number of cathars entering the battlefield. And Astarte's extraordinary size and armor can be easily recognized by the people of the empire. So that the loyal subjects of the empire will not easily attack the Astartes.

If someone attacks, it must be the attack of the cultists, it must be the attack of the traitors of the Empire, and Sivir allows the Terminator warriors with great firepower to eliminate anyone who dares to attack them.

Sivir led Olga's squad all the way, Guardian Warband Leader Difender led a squad all the way, and Sergeant Ryder of the Guardian Warband 1st Company led his vanguard veteran squad as a way.

The three teams began to march in different directions, and Sivir led Olga's team to choose the route with the widest path. Keep along the main road.

This would undoubtedly expose oneself to the range of the enemy's fire points laid out by the concealed buildings on both sides of the road. However, the artist is bold, and Sivier is confident that he can protect his warriors from all kinds of attacks.

Moreover, Olga's squad is a squad of guards veterans belonging to the first company of the Guardian Warband. Defender veterans are often deployed in the most vulnerable parts of the battle line, outmaneuvering the enemy with calm tactics and accurate shooting. Guard veterans have a wide range of weapons in their possession, and often they bring specialized blaster ammunition into the battlefield to compensate for any potential firepower deficiencies.

These include the Unstable Flux Revenge Bullet for use against heavily armed targets, the Kraken Blast, which fills up for long-range engagements, and the Hellfire Bullet that can destroy the most angry orc bosses or Tyranid deformed monsters.

If some cultists hiding in the building dare to fire black guns at Sivir and them, without Sivir's action, Olga's team will quickly rain down powerful firepower in the direction of the bullet with their nanosecond reaction. In the face of their bombs, the fragile buildings were simply unable to protect the cultists hiding behind them.

In fact, most cultists' weapons are difficult to penetrate the Terminator armor and cause damage to space marines, but there are still a few cultists who have some powerful weapons in their hands that have been snatched from nobles or officers in the upper nest. Therefore, Sivir will use the psionic shield to block all attacks from the cultists, so that the blind cat will not encounter the dead rat and the Astartes will be killed or injured.
