Chapter 53: "The Child"

After some preparation, the onslaught began.

All artillery bombarded the city three times, and then fired smoke shells at the front of the city.

All the Saintsmith soldiers on the line poured out of the line and attacked the city under the cover of Riemannus tanks and mobile fortresses.

The rebels could only blindly attack the smoke from their defensive lines, but they relied on the walls of the city to defend themselves, and even if the Saint Forge could gain an advantage before the onslaught began, they would eventually be dragged into an endless tug-of-war.

Gray and his battle brothers, as well as the Holy Warriors, will play a decisive role.

In the Temple of All Machines in the center of the Mobile Fortress, Gray and his battle brothers arrive in the temple to join the Saint Forge warriors who will cooperate with them.

"How are we going to get there, is it the transport that will pick us up or what?" Gray asks a company commander who is a saint-forging warrior.

"Use this." The company commander pointed to the humanoid recess beneath the statue of the Ten Thousand Machines, "It will knock us out like cannonballs, and then we will land in the city." However, our individual combat strength is not strong, and the group operation will be besieged by the enemy, so the task of destroying important targets can only be completed by the ranks. ”

Listening to the company commander's words, Gray nodded, and then walked to the edge of the groove with his combat brothers and waited.

When the alarm sounded in the Temple of Ten Thousand Machines, Gray and the others immediately lay down in the groove.

Then they were sent into the capsule and then launched.

Hundreds of capsules descended into the capital in a perfect arc.

The pod Gray was riding in landed and extended a heavy explosive bomb, firing smoke grenades before firing at the surrounding soldiers.

Eventually, Gray kicked open the hatch and walked out, rushing towards a nearby building at breakneck speed.

By the time the smoke cleared, the rebel soldiers could only see an empty pod.

"Battle brothers, assemble at the temple building!" Gray walks through the buildings, killing every rebel soldier who sees him, and gives orders.

Gray saw a very clean and burning building in the street in front of him, and even a fool could tell that this was the temple of the rebels, and there must be a big man hiding in it.

On his way to the temple, Gray saw a group of Saint Forge warriors gathering and fighting their enemies in the streets.

These saint-forging warriors are slow, they can't quickly get out of the enemy's sight with the cover of smoke, and can only fight the enemy hard, but fortunately, their combat effectiveness is not low, and they don't need Gray to help them.

Running to the end of the building, Gray jumped up and slammed directly into the wall and jumped into the third-story room directly opposite.

There were fifteen rebel soldiers in the room.

Before the rebel soldiers could react, Gray quickly got up and used his power sword to kill fourteen people in succession.

One of the remaining rebel soldiers opened his mouth to shout, but Gray had already rushed in front of him and punched him in the mouth, piercing the hapless soldier's head.

The action went smoothly, but the sound of Gray breaking through the wall caught the attention of the rebel soldiers in the other rooms, and the door of the room was quickly kicked open, revealing a large number of rebel soldiers outside the door.

But Gray only glanced at the enemies, and then focused on pulling his hand out of the corpse.

Other Space Marines rushed into the hallway through walls and windows, killing all the rebel soldiers as they prepared to shoot Gray.

The five Space Marines stepped into the room with the corpse in their footsteps, looking at Gray without saying a word.

Gray made a few gestures and jumped out of the window.

The other Space Marines jumped out of the windows one after another, landed steadily, and then rushed to every entrance and exit of the temple from all directions.

Of course, they encountered the guards, but even if they reacted, they didn't have time to intercept them.

Eventually, Gray slammed through the door and stormed the temple, and he immediately checked the situation.

There were a lot of officers, a lot of soldiers who were going back and forth with orders, and there were also some psykers who were burning civilians.

After Gray checked the situation, the people present reacted, either fleeing in horror or pulling out their weapons.

Those who dared to resist were killed by Gray one after another, and those who escaped were blocked by other Space Marines and then wiped out.

After killing everyone on the first floor, the five Space Marines immediately walked silently to the windows and gates, and began to fire back at the enemy forces surrounding them outside.

Gray walked to the second floor of the temple.

There were no enemies on the second floor, only the corpse of a rebel officer, and a shivering child hiding in a corner with a laser carbine.

Gray immediately ran over and threw the laser carbine aside, then picked up the child and comforted him: "It's okay...... What about your family? ”

The child did not answer, but began to cry.

Seeing this, Gray knew that the child's family must have died.

"Damn the rebels." Gray frowned, then walked downstairs with the child in his arms.

"Shall we behead the rest of the rebels?" A Space Marine asked.

"No need." Gray looked into the distance, "The rebels are in chaos, we won." ”

……

The rebels have lost all decision-making levels, the number of soldiers on the defensive line is being greatly reduced, and the soldiers in the city are unmoved.

Eventually, the city's defenses were breached, the walls were destroyed, and the mobile fortress drove directly into the city, covering the rest of the soldiers to fight in the streets.

Saint-forging soldiers wearing power armor easily conquered one house after another.

Half a day after the battle, only sporadic resistance remained in the city.

Chen Mo stepped down from the mobile fortress, ready to see if the city below was the same as the Gertans on Karsk 7, with many civilians who had been captive by the rebels.

That's when Gray walked over.

Chen Mo looked at Gray and wanted to thank him for his help, but suddenly saw Gray holding an old man covered in feathers.

This scene is very strange and strange.

But Gray himself didn't think anything was wrong, and the rest of the Space Marines didn't think anything was wrong, and the officers nearby took one look at Gray and then went about their business.

"Is there something wrong with my eyes?" Chen Mo said to Gray, "What are you doing with an old man?" Is he your relative? ”

"What?" Gray looked around, "Where is the old man?" ”

"In your arms." Chen Mo pointed to Gray's chest.

"It's a child." Gray said stunned.

"I'm ......" Chen Mo swallowed back the words that had just come to his mouth, and then walked towards Gray with a pistol.

When the distance between the two was only about one meter, Chen Mo raised his hand and shot it.

A bullet pierces the head of the old man Gray is carrying, and then bounces off Gray's visor.

"What are you doing?!" Gray raised the power sword and questioned angrily, and his fighting brothers also took up arms and aimed at Chen Mo.

Until the wail sounded, Gray glanced down, and then hurriedly threw the person in his arms out.
