Chapter 202: The Midnight Lord's Civil War
"The enemy has arrived!"
"I've seen it!" Paul's tone was very calm.
In the sky, countless landing pods slammed into the ground, and beastmen, mutants, and monsters that had become more terrifying due to the power of chaos quickly ran out of these landing pods.
These hideous-looking cannon fodder, with all kinds of bombs strapped to their bodies, rushed towards the Aegis wall that had just been formed, and whenever they approached, they would not hesitate to detonate the bombs on their bodies.
Of course, it is also possible that they did not do it voluntarily.
However, they did have a corresponding effect, and the Aegis wall began to get weaker and weaker, and each time the new shield wall was repaired and formed became weaker than before.
"The Gate of Herios is under attack, request for support, request for support!"
Paul and Cornell Barker looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
They also saw the siege engine that had been erected in front of the gates of Herios where the Cultist Five of the Dark Mechanics was located.
That siege weapon had a disgusting aura all over its body. He is a mechanized demon forged by the forces of chaos, powered by Burning Souls and Subspace Demons.
In the Cult of the Mechanics, which is supposed to be under the special protection of the Cult of the Dark Mechanics, this mechanical demon can ignore the will of the Emperor and will not be dispelled immediately.
However, compared to the mechanized demons who seemed to be still in the process of being adjusted, Paul's eyes were still on the Midnight Lord Astarte, who was wrapped in black armor from top to bottom.
It was not difficult to tell from the equipment they were equipped that they should be the elite main force of the Midnight Lord, and it was precisely because of their presence that the guards on the city walls never had time to aim their cannons at the disgusting, increasingly smelling mechanical demons all over their bodies.
"Leave a small group of people here, in case the others go with me!"
It was only a moment, a moment of silence, that Paul made the best decision at the moment.
If you can't get rid of those terrifying and burly heroes, the demons will not be able to stop the tide of enemies even if they are eternally strong.
Even if the section of the wall they were guarding could be safely protected, as long as the Gate of Herios was breached, then even if they defended it, there was no point in them, and the enemy would rush in through the breach like dumplings, and then wrap them all up.
The Gate of Helios must be defended, as must Bastion No. 16, which is the most important defense of the Gate of Helios, or everything will be lost, and their previous sacrifice will be meaningless.
Even though they are on the same wall, the walls are not directly connected to each other, but need to be connected through various well-defended bunkers to reach the other walls safely.
And while Paul and his team were rushing to the vicinity of the Gate of Helios and Fortress Sixteen as fast as they could, a large number of Midnight Lords Astarte had begun to slaughter the Imperial Guards who had little ability to resist.
And the Astartes of the Emperor's Fist, who hurried over together, were not at all the opponents of these Midnight Lord Astartes, who had traces of the transformation of the chaotic power all over their bodies.
In addition, their numbers were a little pitiful compared to these Midnight Lord Astartes, and seeing that the mechanical demons arranged by the Cult of Dark Mechanics had not had time to attack, the battle situation near the Gate of Helios had completely fallen to Horus's side.
"Scatter, cut, exterminate!"
With Paul's words, countless young Imperial soldiers attacked according to the tactics they had trained before, and they rushed into the battlefield quickly, relying on a powerful firepower network, temporarily forcing the Midnight Lord Astarte not to continue the attack, and then quickly ran back and forth in front of these Midnight Lord Astarte, quickly separating them all with their own flesh.
This tactic is the most sparse and ordinary division tactic
Originally, this tactic was used for large-scale corps operations, and it was only possible to implement this tactic with the intensive artillery fire of large-scale corps.
At this moment, the soldiers under Paul's command relied on their powerful firepower network to use this tactical strategy, which was only suitable for large-scale legion combat, to the current warriors against the Midnight Lord's elite Astarte.
To be able to achieve such a result, even if not a single Midnight Lord Astarte has died at the hands of their guns for a while, it is enough to be proud.
However, this is not a drill and a skill competition, but a real battlefield, and there is no time to praise and praise.
The momentum of the midnight lord's attack that had been divided was suddenly a shock, and the defending forces that had been suppressed and beaten, as well as the Emperor Fist Astartes, could finally breathe a long sigh of relief.
They looked at this company, which only had a few hundred people, and actually involved the most elite Dalian of the Midnight Lord Astarte Legion.
And it seems that there are still fights with the enemy.
Although they have more casualties than the enemy, they are not worth mentioning compared to the casualties caused to them by the Midnight Lord Astarte before.
Meng raised his palm, and the defenders, who had gasped slightly, continued to counterattack.
Split tactics are not sophisticated tactics that almost every commander uses, but what kind of tactics to use at what time depends on the commander's individual ability!
Fort 16 must be kept in peace.
If Fort 16 were to collapse completely, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Not to mention that once Fort 16 is destroyed, then the Gate of Helios will be in no danger.
What's more, once Fort 16 is destroyed, the civilians who hide behind the walls or behind the fortress will become bargaining chips in the chaos scales and become accomplices of the enemy.
However, the Midnight Lord Astarte Legion was not all dry, and they also quickly made tactical adjustments when the split tactics were a little caught off guard and the momentum of the attack was blocked.
Since Paul's company wanted to divide them, they simply borrowed their strength and no longer wanted to gather together, but broke through the surface with points, and began to launch the most fierce attack on the weak points around them.
The company led by Paul, although it can score ten points in combat quality, is a mortal army after all, and it is a very rare thing to be able to relieve the pressure of friendly troops and temporarily trap the enemy.
To annihilate the army of Astarte is simply a fantasy.
All of a sudden, with the change of tactics of the Midnight Lord Astarte, the defensive front that had been organized with great difficulty immediately began to collapse on a large scale.
However, fortunately, the Astartes of the Emperor's Fist rushed up again, so that the defense line that was on the verge of collapse was maintained for another time.
The gate of Helios was temporarily held, but the situation behind the door was not very optimistic.
Although there are only thirty Mengyu warriors who descend from the sky, these thirty Mengyu warriors are the elite of the elite, and each of them has the title of hunting master within the Midnight Lord Warband.
With the chaos inside the palace at this moment, it is really easy to hide yourself and cause a certain amount of chaos.
However, it is a pity that at this moment, because the Khan's white scar is fighting with the death guards, the Holy Blood Angel Legion is also fighting on the front line, and the Emperor's Fist, not to mention, is completely on the city wall, unable to deal with these sabotage guys.
So at this moment, the task of exterminating these guys naturally fell to Lu Doyiner.
This is the luck of the loyalists, but it is also the misfortune of those Midnight Lord Chaos Astarte.
As a member of the former Midnight Lord Legion Astarte.
Lu Duoyiner, being able to do the position of a Dalian company commander is enough to show his strength, and
Coincidentally, he is also a master hunter, and at the same time a member of the Blood Bat Council, he knows the tactics and strategies of the Mengfang squad and even the combat methods by heart, and he can't be more familiar with them.
With the Thunder Warrior in his hand, Lu Doyin walked through the intricate complexes of the palace.
In front of them, a team of Mengfowl was fleeing for their lives, led by a burly Astarte with a black cloak behind him.
He is the leader of the Bird Project, Lockhoppers, and is also a member of Parliament, and his position is quite high.
And most importantly, his relationship with Lou Doyiner is really bad.
If it weren't for his trouble, how could Lu Doyin be sent from the front to the prison planet in the rear to become a prison warden.
A midnight lord, Astarte, has become a prison warden and is forced to guard those unarmed mortals, who can only rely on holding bloody tournaments to satisfy their bloodthirsty desires.
This hatred, Lu Doyiner has always remembered.
"Damn it, why is this idiot Lou Doyin here!" Locklevs' face was very ugly.
As for why he was able to see his face, it was because of the helmet on his head, and a crack had appeared since I didn't know when, and half of his face was *** out.
And a deep bone-visible scratch appeared on the left side of his face.
"Why did this damn idiot get so strong!"
Running away in embarrassment, Lockhoppers only felt his palms trembling, and the pain in his mouth was unbearable.
He didn't even have a single sword for Lu Duoyiner, so he was directly knocked off the power sword. If it weren't even for his quick reaction, the sword behind him would have cut off his head directly.
"Why did our master hunter run away!
Haven't you always been very arrogant?
Why just fight against me, that sword will flee in embarrassment!"
Lu Doyin'er kept making a mocking sound from his mouth, and the movements under his feet were indeed not slow at all, but no matter how hard he chased after him, he was always a little bit away from being able to catch up with the Midnight Lord Mengfowl team in front of him who fled like frightened birds.
"Yes, they're all rabbits!" Lu Doyiner silently let out a heartfelt sigh.
The so-called rabbit is synonymous with the master of hunting. This is not a joking joke, but a respectful salutation.
After all, the title of Master Hunter is not something that can be obtained by passing an examination.
Each legion has different assessment criteria for hunting masters, but there are not many who can eventually become masters of this title.
"Hey, Lu Doyin!" The voice from the headset made Lou Doyin stumble and almost fell to the ground, "My lord, have you also come up from below?"
It was none other than Chen Guo who spoke.
"Yes, how is the situation on your side, do you need my help?"
"No, no, they're all my former genetic brothers, so it's better for me to send them on the road myself."
"Okay, then come on, solve it as soon as possible, come to me!"
"Understood!"
After Lu Doyiner said a word, the pace under his feet couldn't help but speed up again, which made Locklevis, who had already pulled his speed to the extreme, secretly cry out in his heart again.
He originally thought that even if he couldn't get rid of this follower behind him, he shouldn't be caught up for a while.
But it turns out that this idea is wrong, and Lu Doyiner is still suppressing his strength!
Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, Lockhoppers gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.
He didn't run, cleanly, without a trace of hesitation, he pulled out the plasma hand cannon on his waist and aimed it at the back is a shot, the blue current gathered rapidly, and a thunder that kept flashing electric sparks
The electric ball quickly stood out from the muzzle of the gun and flew towards Lu Doyiner behind him!
"You're looking for death!"
Lu Doyiner's face also changed suddenly, he really didn't expect Lockleffers to dare to use a plasma cannon at such a close distance.
However, while his heart was shocked, the movements on his body were not out of shape, the battle armor on his chest kept twisting, and dozens of explosive bombs of different sizes immediately ejected from the deformed battle armor.
"Boom!"
A deafening sound, accompanied by a rolling wave of air, brought up a thick fog of dust that obscured the sky, and Lockhoppers and his subordinates stopped.
With such a close-range plasma cannon, no one should be able to survive.
Lockhoppers waited for a moment, made sure there was no movement, and then turned to leave.
But at this moment, Lu Doyiner's voice came out of the dust.
"Are you...... Looking for me? Mr. Locklews?"
