These Chaos Space Marines died peacefully.

All the heads were blown off one by one by the sniper with the Gauss rifle in his hand. The metal munitions fired from the electromagnetic acceleration trajectory made their heads look like watermelons that had been hit with a hammer.

And the headless corpse is not intact. If it weren't for the restraint of the Power Armor, the shreds of these Chaos Warriors would be splattered all over the streets.

The Squad Leader uses his power knife to cut through the armor and retrieve the genetic seeds from the Chaos Space Marines' corpses in the neck and chest cavity.

However, it is disappointing that only four intact genetic seeds were recovered from the corpses of the five Chaos Space Marines. There are quite a few genetic seeds that have been completely destroyed by the members of the tactical squad. The explosive rifles used by the tactical team members were too powerful.

They were using 20mm blaster rifles developed by the Empire for ordinary human soldiers. Although the caliber is larger than the 0.75 caliber of the Space Marine, which is about 19mm calibre blaster, it is not enough to make the corpses of these Chaos Warriors look so miserable.

The real secret to the power of the blaster rifles in the hands of these astral soldiers is the explosive bullet they use, the Kraken armor-piercing blaster.

The Kraken Armor-Piercing Blaster is a powerful blaster that has a dense metal core replaced by a stronger Adamantite Gold and uses a heavier propellant pack.

The tip of the warhead is a hardened diamond warhead, which allows the bomb to penetrate most of the armor before it explodes. After penetrating the armor, the mass reaction fuse inside the blast will ensure that the blast explodes inside after penetrating the enemy's shell. It's not too soon, it's not too late.

The incoming flesh blast will then explode, causing the super-hard metal that makes up the warhead to splinter into pieces, dealing secondary damage inside the enemy.

Although this explosive bomb worked wonders against hoplites and lightly armored vehicles, in the past the empire could only be used as a special ammunition due to productivity problems.

However, what does it mean to be wealthy?

In the future of the Empire, the Kraken Armor-Piercing Bomb will be used as the Empire's standard bomb, and will be provided to every soldier in unlimited quantities. These bombs will become a whistling death on the battlefield, harvesting the lives of one enemy after another on the battlefield.

It's time to change the old tradition of the Astral Army charging at every turn. If you can swap out the enemy with ammo, don't fight in close quarters with the enemy.

Your life is more precious to the Emperor than ammunition.

The Kraken armor-piercing bombs fired by the tactical team, the moment they left the chamber, the built-in rocket propellant ignited, and the explosive bombs were accelerated twice during the flight, and the hardened diamond warheads easily penetrated the power armor on the bodies of these Chaos Warriors, and then the explosive bombs exploded in their bodies.

The explosives open and tear the armor around the tip of the bullet, and the armor that opens like petals will continue to deform and roll backwards due to the resistance of human tissue, and the diameter of the warhead will become larger, so the wound path will gradually expand as the bullet rotates and advances.

With the full release of the warhead energy, the instantaneous cavity created will be considerable, and the permanent wound will also be large due to the increase in radial size, coupled with the destruction of the musculature in its path by the sharp edge of the carapace.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Fragments of armor and fragments of diamond that fall off the warhead can also move in irregular trajectories in the wound tract, causing multiple wounds that are difficult to handle. A flare-shaped wound with a small inlet and a large outlet is formed.

Many of the Chaos Space Marine's gene trapping glands in their chests were blown up by the Kraken bombs.

But fortunately, in addition to the Chaos Warriors who were hit by a large number of bombs, there were also two Chaos Warriors who were sniped by snipers, as well as several Chaos Warriors who were more hit by laser guns than with blasters.

The wounds caused by the laser gun are not like the wounds of being hit by a Kraken blaster, but rather a penetrating wound on the Chaos Warrior. A circular cavity, from front to back.

This wound allowed some of the Chaos Warriors' genetic seeds to be fortunately preserved.

In these Chaos Warriors, only their genetic seeds have some collection value. Their power armor and blasters are all antiques, and they are completely inferior to the new weapons provided by the Empire for the Astral Army.

And while the Empire's logistics are often criticized, the members of these Chaos Gangs have little to no logistics. Subspace is a poor place. I don't know how many pieces of equipment they have been using or how long they have been used.

Each one can be followed by a suffix such as rusty, broken, etc. As the elite of the Empire, the Astral Army can't look down on these crooked melons and cracked dates. Their military discipline also does not allow them to use Chaos-related weapons at will.

As for those genetic seeds, the Empire didn't rely on these things to create new Space Marines. The Empire's genetic seeds are not yet expensive enough to snatch the Chaos Space Marines.

In fact, the Empire now has the ability to massively produce super genetic seeds to create super space marines, as many as there are genetic seeds.

The reason why the genetic seeds of these Chaos Warriors were collected was because they were of high research value.

Almost all of the existing genetic seeds are derived from the genetic prototypes created by the emperor, and some of the genetic protogens may have certain genetic characteristics or mutations themselves, which are constantly amplified with the transmission of genetic seeds, causing some warbands to appear in the form of lineage transmission of personality and habits.

Due to the problems caused by the mutation, each warband regularly provides genetic seeds to the Cult of the Mechanics on Mars as a tax revenue. This can be used both to check the purity of genes and to be used as a base material to design new genetic seeds and build new warbands.

As a result, the purity of most of the genetic seeds of the Empire's warbands is still above a passing mark.

But for those Space Marine legions or warbands that have fallen into chaos, their genetic seeds have been completely mutated to the point where they are not even recognizable by their genetic prototypes.

Since most of their genetic seeds are far from stable due to chaos contamination, genetic seeds are essential for recruiting new recruits. As a result, they sometimes raid Imperial facilities to capture stable genetic seeds. Precious genetic seed resources are treasured items that can be traded at a clear price in the Eye of Fear.

But now, the genetic seeds of these Chaos Space Marines will also become a favorite in the eyes of the Imperial soldiers. Because it represents a glory and a military achievement. Who is the Hunter? Who is the prey? Let's do what we want.

These subspace-corrupted, heavily mutated genetic seeds will be used by the Empire for subspace-related research. Study the corruption of subspace, how subspace energy causes mutations at the genetic level, and how the empire will resist and exploit the properties of this subspace.

This will be extremely important for the battle between the Empire and Chaos in the future. Perhaps a humble research result can play a key role in shaping the tide of battle in the future.

The Tactical Squad Leader puts the genetic seed in his pocket and gathers his squad members. Continue your search through the city for traces of the Empire's subjects.

The Astral Army has countless tactical squads like this in the city, and they are loyal to carry out the tasks from their superiors. Find the subjects of the empire and evacuate them outside the city.

But just like this squad of warriors who wiped out the Chaos Warriors, the other Astral Armies did not secretly evacuate the people of the Empire while enduring enemy fire.

If there is an enemy to obstruct it, then crush them. Therefore, although the Astral Army as a whole gradually retreated from the city, in fact, most of the enemies had already been eliminated by them during their retreat.

Enemy, grass! Enemy, fight!

Citizens of the Empire, good! Men of the Empire, save!

By the time most of the Astral Army had all but withdrawn from the city, the rebels and the forces of Chaos had long since realized that something was wrong.

The Bright Star Army has the upper hand in the city, and most of the rebels and Chaos Demons and Chaos Space Marines have been wiped out by them. If it continues like this, it is only a matter of time before the city is reclaimed by them.

However, the Astral Army was slowly retreating backwards, evacuating the subjects of the empire from the city, and deliberately keeping the battle line out of the city.

Undoubtedly, the Astral Army is going to make some big moves. When there are only Imperial enemies left in the city, the Empire will surely deal a devastating blow to the city.

This makes the rebels and the forces of chaos feel very bad. This war has changed from the Astral Army wanting to break through the rebel defense line and occupy the city, to the rebel army and the Chaos forces wanting to break through the Astral Army defense line and break through the city.

But in the melee in the city, those chaos and rebel forces can't defeat the astral army. There is no possibility of breaking through the impregnable Astral Army defense line outside the city.

Not counting the Astral Army elsewhere on the planet, there are about 30 million Astral Army in this urban attack and defense battle alone. Enough to encircle the city.

And most of these astral armies are brand new astral armies that have passed the new astral army assessment. Only a few still hold the title of preparation.

The technical sergeants and engineers of the Astral Army began to build fortifications on the periphery of the city long before the retreat order was given, to ensure that no enemy of the empire would leave the city alive.

After receiving the order to retreat from the city, the commanders of these astral armies were even more keenly aware that the enemy in the city would have a large-scale breakthrough operation. Therefore, a steel defense line was established on the outskirts of the city early on.

A large number of modular defenses are transported from warships in space to the perimeter of the city by large transports. Then, under the command of the Engineers, a large number of Astral Forces operated a variety of engineering vehicles, assembling these defenses that had already been produced.

Thus, within hours, a defensive line encircling the entire city appeared out of thin air. This is not an unfast pace of construction. In addition to all kinds of defenses, there are many large vehicles that have not been able to drive into the city, and they are quietly waiting on the outskirts of the city for the cuties who are about to poke their heads out of the city.

Over time, some enemies began to gradually emerge from the city. But these people were the vanguard of the enemy, and their task was only to conduct reconnaissance on the perimeter. Identify the weak points of the Astral Army's defensive line, then assemble a large army for a fierce assault to break through the city.

With the experience of being beaten by the Astral Army in the city, these chaos forces and rebel forces have long followed their hearts, although they have not said anything. He no longer thinks that his combat power is invincible in the world, and he can easily break through the blockade of the Astral Army.

As a result, they sent some soldiers to the periphery of the city to scout the Astral Army's defenses in various places.

But for these small-scale enemy scouts, those truly terrifying weapons didn't have time to exert their strength, and only one volley of the Astral Army stationed in the defense line wiped them all out.

After many unsuccessful reconnaissances, seeing that the Astral Army in the city was getting smaller and smaller, the rebels and the forces of chaos no longer hesitated and divided all their forces into two parts. Break through in different directions, respectively.

The worst part of this war is about to begin. Of course, the tragedy is for the enemies of the empire.

To the north of the capital city of Rabo, an army of demons led by the Lord of Apocaustus emerges from the city.

The blood god is thirsty, the skull is hungry, and the army of horrors is expecting a big fight and harvesting the skull! They're simple-minded, bloodthirsty musclemen.

Their never-ending desire to kill drives them insane, and their fury at their enemies dwarfs all other demons. Under the leadership of the Dreadlord of Sadism, these Sadistic demons were attracted by the irresistible madness of the Lord of Abuse, and thus slashed and slaughtered even more angrily.

Countless bloodletter demons rushed from the city to the astral armies in those lines, their childless eyes burning with anger that made it difficult to raise the courage to resist.

However, the astral army in those defense lines looked at these terrifying demons rushing towards them, and their hearts did not fluctuate, and they even wanted to laugh a little.

The Bloodlettes are a class of inferior demons under the Sadists, and their power is far beyond that of ordinary humans. And the deadliest thing about them is their infinite numbers. They are the core of the vast legions that make up the Warlords.

Among the countless demons that can rush towards the Astral Army, in addition to these bloodletters, there are also countless various high-level demonic demons. For example, the most feared cavalry unit of the Bloodmill Cavalry, the Bloodhounds, a hundred times stronger than the Bloodletter, and the powerful Bloodletter Lord. There are also many high-level sadistic demons who have not yet joined the charge.

I'm afraid that people who don't know will really think that this is a nest of terror when they see this scene.

But none of the astral army showed fear on their faces, and they silently watched the demons rushing towards them. Quietly waiting for the order, and then send all these demons back to the subspace.

Finally, with the commander's order, the Astral Army began to attack the demons fiercely. Artillery and towers began to roar, and the defenses that the Astral Army had assembled over the course of several hours had shown these demons the power of technology!
