Chapter 346: It Won't Rain in the Nest
About half an hour after the order was given, a strange sight appeared that the emperor had never seen before, although it had always been, but this time it was still beyond most people's imagination.
Battlefields have always been associated with extreme weather, beginning with the age of recorded thermal weapons and ending with the 4,000 years of gray and terrifying warfare, accompanied by hurricanes and rainfall, mud and humidity.
Intense explosions and heat quickly evaporate the water and then turn into cumulonimbus clouds, which have become characteristic of trench warfare, especially positional warfare.
The veterans were all too familiar with the damp, hot and disgusting wind, which was now blowing through the line they had just retreated from in this narrow metal elevator, and the soldiers of Skadi felt that something was wrong, and since they had begun to rely on fire to suppress and retreat from their original front, the line behind them had shown an unbearable, strange wind.
Some people began to erect makeshift tarps, even if they were sure that it would not rain here, but no one would feel that their experience was wrong, and in the interval between the start of another enemy charge, a strange rain fell.
In this place where there is no atmosphere, raindrops should not fall, and in this place where there is no normal ecology, everything is under human control.
But in the pdf of the upper nest wiped the liquid from his forehead, the nest dukews shouted. "What is this?" Next, a suffocating hurricane fell with a torrential downpour.
Yes, it doesn't rain on the nest, but now there is a miracle, when the ground tarp of the trench is slid down the adamantine ground by the rain outside the elevator, and finally wets the outside of the tarpaulin, and the unbelievable situation appears, the nest, a closed human artificial environment, rains.
The officers shouted. "It's just a trick of heresy, those liquids are sprinkled on the upper drains, they want to paralyze our weapons with dampness, and disturb our soldiers with abnormal weather!"
Although the soldiers did not believe that man-made people could do so much like real rain, the strict relationship between the officers and subordinates made them completely trust, this is the irreplaceable dignity and effectiveness of officers on the battlefield, as long as they exist, the army will not be loose and collapse as a violent organization.
At the same time, such raindrops have a greater impact on the enemy, and the primer fired by the inferior weapons of the nest capital began to become unstable, and the people of the nest who had never seen the raindrops and even the low-level officers began to be a little shaken and confused, and at such a tense moment, they had to fight against the powerful enemy in the weather they had never seen?
Such an idea took root in the hearts of the soldiers, if it wasn't for the fact that they didn't want to bet on whether the machine gun array erected for them could still shoot, if they didn't want to use the pension to give their families a normal life, or if they prayed that they were chosen by the gods and got ahead, and the comrades around them were moving forward, this rabble would probably have been defeated and fled!
At the same time, part of the reason why those people were able to advance was that the firepower of the Imperial Guard had suddenly decreased a lot, and most of them were compressing the defensive line, discarding the external defensive points and trenches, watchtowers or lumen towers, and in less than half an hour, the battle line had retreated more than 500 meters, and at the same time left enough room for death in the huge metal elevator, which would then become a metal meat grinder.
As the rain fell into the metal elevator along the hurricane, a thunderbolt fell untimely, and in the phantom lightning, an old man in a blue robe appeared, he raised the bronze scepter in his hand, and the whole battlefield seemed to be silent because of him.
After a brief silence of less than a second, the Skady officers shouted. "Alpha-level psionics! Shoot! Shoot! Retreat at the same time and don't get close to this monster! His orders were bright, and the army began to shoot and suppress in an orderly manner, only as the storm bomb approached the plasma or deflagration beam, a blue psionic shield was like an invisible arm that blocked the things away.
Mortal weapons are like toys to this thousand-year-old demon, its mobilization of subspace psionic energy can easily rival the empire's best personal void shield, and as a great demon, it has almost no shortcomings in psionic energy continuity, but its body makes its psionic energy can only be maintained at the alpha level in the imperial standard.
But it is not human, and the complexity of the spells it has mastered and the abilities of its classmates are beyond the reach of ordinary people for the rest of their lives, unless the mortal is the legendary immortal.
At this point, it raised its hand, the bright light was comparable to that of a star, and the heat was no different from the Empire's heavy plasma guns, and after a violent flicker, a ball of lightning visible to the naked eye fell on the rear of the Imperial Guard's dense firepower, two plasma guns, a storm bomb, and its 9 people and 3 heavy weapons squads and about 60 meters of sandbag trenches and barbed wire, instantly vaporized, leaving cherry red traces of death.
In an instant, the pressure of the shield suddenly decreased, and he raised his hands, and the fierce subspace psionic energy turned into endless telekinesis, instantly pushing away hundreds of heavy armored vehicles of about 42 tons parked on the front of the Imperial Guard, and at the same time triggering a chain explosion of fragmentation mines buried behind the battle line.
In less than five seconds to complete these two actions, the Imperial Guard lost 300 casualties and was torn apart on two important fronts.
The officers were dumbfounded, they had seen psionics, but this monster was far more powerful than they had imagined, and even the most powerful wizard or psionic creature currently recorded by the Imperial Guard Expedition could not withstand the simultaneous attack of hundreds of blast beams, and easily blow up the impenetrable fortress trenches of the Imperial Guard.
"Quick, give priority to that monster as the main target, codenamed Alpha +, the whole squad gathers firepower, and then the companies are more dispersed, and we lack heavy firepower, the next battle is handed over to the Astartes of the Destruction Eagle, we are responsible for covering!" It was the officer's order, and at the same time the Imperial Guard, to be precise, the greatest field commander of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skady.
His beautiful cape and modified palms, armed with a blaster pistol and chainsaw sword, resemble Kane's Chief of Staff, his idol, who brought Alan Bair to the Legion as a hero, telling him many taboos and honors.
The veteran officer, Skady's chief of the General Staff, who was also a graduate of the Loyalty Academy, was more responsible for the ideological work of the army, and he spoke calmly.
"Don't be afraid, the 1st and 2nd companies go to cover the Astarte advance and leave the way for them, the 3rd and 4th companies are responsible for fire suppression, the 5th and 6th companies are responsible for informing intelligence and processing information, the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th companies are responsible for stabilizing the front, and the eleventh and twelfth companies are responsible for strengthening the defensive works."
"Inform the Katachans, move forward, attack with Astarte, the Stormtroopers will start guerrilla warfare, try to interrupt and interfere with the enemy, and use range and cover, high-intensity individual separation combat ability to pin down that wizard!"
The companies immediately answered by radio. "Yes!"
He actually has more experience and authority than the second lieutenant, this old soldier is almost the oldest person in this unit, even so, he is still not old, and the clear division of labor has given the Imperial Guard a new way of thinking, scattered but not gathered.
At this moment, those crazy psionic energies could no longer cause such a large-scale death in an instant, and the Great Demon couldn't help but slow down the frequency of his psionic catharsis, even if it didn't die because of too little psionic energy, but using those powers still made it tired.
Its old thoughts linked to the commander on the pdf, and then spoke. "Mortal, tell your soldiers to cover me, take all the men, I'm going to kill that Loyal Heir Academy, he keeps order on the battle line, if he is still here, the battle here will be more variable."
This kind of psychic spirit can surprise the commander Colonel Corrando, but soon he also understands the situation, the old man's judgment is very accurate, after the extremely fast dispatch, among the charging pdf mortal troops, the colonel's private army is also joined in, those soldiers have weapons and equipment equivalent to the level of the Imperial Guard, lasers that are not afraid of raindrops, and bulletproof armor that is enough to resist most stray bullets.
Of course, the most important thing is their invincible will and extremely high individual combat ability, which is the least on the battlefield, that is, they can maintain the battle even when the enemy is outnumbered, that is, they have the courage to act alone and the action to act with or without commanders.
They were all a force of officers, but they were in tune, but when the soldiers came to the old wizard through a hail of bullets, the great demon showed a vague sense of loss.
It thought that Bandertar still had a father-son relationship and a blood relationship with it, but now that it was fighting for this rebel, all it had come was such stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and he didn't have any rune warriors made by the Lord of All Changes, Qiming, and such soldiers could be his meat shields at most.
Seeing this situation, the Great Demon was also completely disappointed in the child Bandertar, he was afraid that he wanted to kill his biological father with the hands of the Skadians, and then serve as the entire layout of the Lord of Change in this star area.
However, it saw that those soldiers came in rain, and their whole bodies were already soaked, thinking that in such a situation, it was not easy for a fragile mortal to maintain such a will to fight, although it could not catch up with its own demonic minions, but before it had the ability to tear open the rift in the subspace, it could only endure it.
"Assault of the whole army!" It shouted, and at the same time the psionic shield was cathartic, leading this team of less than 1,000 people forward, those deadly projectiles and heat instantly tore apart those poor people, but courage and training kept them from retreating, looking at the expressions and emotions of those mortals, the Great Demon was very satisfied, and then it was going to move forward and bring this group of soldiers into the trenches.
And those soldiers were surprised to see the blue psionic shield, but the Great Demon walked forward unilaterally, and at the same time asked them to fire to suppress the enemy, for it, the thousand or so mortal lives here were the props to help it reduce the burden of mortal firepower.
Then the blood poured into its shield again and again, bursting bombs, hot melting, and death continued, but under the fearless cover of the soldiers, it strolled forward idly and walked straight to the position of chief of the general staff.
Officer Skady shouted. "Hurry up and gather and protect the Chief of Staff!"
But the child from the Loyal Heir Academy spoke. "No, keep my orders, my death doesn't matter!" At the same time pull out the weapon and shoot.
Yes, for the battlefield, it would certainly be okay if the death of this hero could be exchanged for a better chance of survival of the Imperial Guard as a whole, but for the Empire, for the Fourth Regiment of Skady, his death was a tragic event.
This oldest and oldest soldier has gone through so many miracles with this infantry regiment that was originally just a line-filling unit, and now he has to sacrifice his loyal life for the so-called victory?
The wizard was getting closer and closer, the chief of staff had already entered its psionic range, this terrible monster that burned blue lightning, and at this moment the loyal heir straightened his military cap, and then replaced the single-molecule blade of the chainsaw sword, he smiled bitterly. "If I can kill this monster, my trip will be perfect."
He rose from his trench, stepped on a sandbag with one foot, and shouted in the ruined battlefield. "Soldiers of the 1st Skadi Company, charge with me and slay this demon! For the emperor! He raised his weapon, the chainsaw sword humming, but the wizard was not afraid, and although the servant beside him was dead, it just raised its hand.
The loyalist then saw an astonishing flash of light, and a terrible scorching heat, only to find that he could still breathe, and it turned out that there was air in the spirit world?
And he heard a deafening loud voice. "Disaster has struck!"
He saw the jetpack in front of him, the scorching heat was from it, the huge demigod standing in front of him, the psionic think tank hero holding the falcon sword alof, the psionic shield flickering with the orb on it, the magic of the Eye of Krand, the superman who was a head taller than the other battle brothers, the warrior with ornate ornaments and prayers, raising his weapon.
"We have a battle in our destiny, demon." His language was sonorous and powerful, and the other Space Marines also fell, armed with weapons or power swords, and those battle brothers lined up, constantly firing to clean up those approaching pdfs, like thunderbolts, unstoppable.
Then the non-commissioned officer Katachan pressed his arm against the body of the chief of staff and led him back to the trench, and the commander fell, but he did not complain, but immediately got up and began to organize the soldiers to retreat.
Next, the demigod and the demon stared at each other, and the Destroyer Eagle's eyes were distorted by the terrifying psionic energy on the old man's body, and he became more and more convinced that the old man in front of him was not human.
And the Great Demon spoke. "Destruction Eagle, I thought you were stationed in Damocles Bay, on Ghost Peak, by the way, you know what? The next time Titanium's expansion target is there, I saw that the wild land was turned into a sea of fire by Titanium, those primitive humans, and your brothers, were slaughtered by the Titanium, and you fought side by side with those monster aliens some time ago. ”
"You are a perfidy, disgusting thing, manipulated by mortals, infected by mortals, bound by mercy, acting like a puppet, no longer remembered by the soaring eagle."
The Master Chief didn't say a word, he just drew his sword forward with his still fleshy right hand, and his left mechanical arm held the blessed Seiko plasma gun to shoot the mortals who interfered with him.
Although the heretic demon's language was sharp, he was now indestructible, and I saw that his whole body was flickering with spiritual energy, and the sharp falcon sword glowed with the light of a blue destructive position, and the jetpack moved forward extremely quickly.
In an instant, at a speed that was difficult for humans to react to, several mortals who stood in the way were melted by the guns, and then the blade touched the psionic shield, and the fierce energy impacted, the blade pierced the shield, tearing open a gap with lightning, and the master chief spoke at this moment.
"I don't regret it, it was, it is, it will be in the future, and you can't even go back to the Supreme Heaven!"
