Chapter 36: The Empire's Frontier: The Tyranids

The bishop lay on the ground, with wisps of steam coming out of his head. To be honest, as a psychic, his death was quite aggrieved. He did not die in a psychic confrontation or a cool magic duel, but was stabbed in the head by a plasma shot from the inner ghost behind him.

But Vito no longer had the energy and mind to waste on the joy of perfectly killing one of the enemy bosses with one shot, because the opponent's big boss had already hit him.

The ancestor stood up, and his huge body was like a mountain in front of Vito. It roared and smashed Vito with a claw. The flexible judge rolled to avoid the blow that broke the ground. After Vito stood up, he immediately fired at the ancestor with the plasma weapon transformed by his right arm.

But the nightmare monster was far more flexible than it looked. It leaped up and flew over Vito's head like it was flying through the sky. It hit Vito's back hard. When the Inquisitor turned the muzzle of his gun at lightning speed and prepared to fire, the First One's reaction speed was faster than him.

The razor claws cut off the plasma muzzle on Vito's wrist neatly in an instant. The Inquisitor cursed and jumped back. He watched several purebred Genestealer guards whizzing around the First One, roaring and wanting to rush over himself.

Vito did not hesitate. He put away the plasma muzzle and turned to rush towards a Pious Guard who was firing at the invading gang legion on the table.

The latter naturally discovered Vito. He quickly turned the muzzle of his gun and fired continuously at Vito, but none of the bullets hit Vito. The Inquisitor rushed to him and punched him in the face. At the moment when the latter lost his balance, he grabbed the laser gun and shot his head from the chin.

Vito pushed the corpse off the platform and immediately turned to aim at the purebred gene stealers. The monsters rushed towards him, but the Inquisitor was not panicked at all. He calmly aimed and fired, and each shot accurately penetrated the fragile part of the gene stealer's head connected to the back armor.

As the laser beams lit up, one gene stealer after another fell to the ground, but among their corpses, the ancestor stepped on the pace of the giant beast and rushed towards Vito, with his claws raised high, attacking Vito.

The fierce firing of the laser gun was completely unable to stop the monster. The only effect of the laser beams was to polish his shell. The monster rushed in front of Vito, and the huge claws attacked fiercely, cutting off the laser gun as easily as a hot knife cutting through butter, and also leaving a wound on Vito's arm.

Vito dodged by leaping to the side, thus avoiding another heavy blow that followed. He rolled up and looked at his bleeding right arm and smiled bitterly, "Wow, it seems that it is a bit difficult."

The ancestor turned around, and the sticky saliva in his bloody mouth splashed out with his roar. With the angry roar of the ancestor, the gene stealers and their believers around him who were in chaos due to the node control after the death of the bishop restored order. They no longer ran around or charged at the invaders without thinking about their lives.

They began to counterattack in an orderly manner. The purebred gene stealers relied on the meat shield of the fanatical believers to charge at a very fast speed and rushed towards the gang boys who occupied a large area.

These low-nest gang warriors looked at these nightmare monsters in horror. They hurriedly shot at these creatures, but the flexible monsters killed them in front of them by dodging, moving and charging rapidly.

Almost instantly, dozens of gang members were torn to pieces by the Genestealers, and the believers filed forward and drowned the rest. This group of fearless fanatics rushed towards the big hole like a surging ocean.

"Hold on! You idiots! What are you panicking about?!" Mal cursed and used a large-caliber shotgun to smash a Genestealer who had thrown down his men and was about to disembowel him. He cursed and fired continuously, knocking down the crazy believers who were rushing in like a tide.

But when he was busy cleaning up the fanatical believers, he didn't notice a cunning Genestealer rushing in from the other side. Its claws tore apart several people who tried to stop it, and rushed to Mal at a rapid speed.

"Fuck!" Mal cursed and stared at the monster flying over, but when Mal subconsciously raised his arms to defend himself, he didn't feel any pain from his flesh being torn apart.

Mal dropped his arm in astonishment, and then his astonishment turned into surprise. He saw a big hand grabbing the monster's neck, and a burly and huge armored giant was right behind him.

The giant crushed the Genestealer's neck with one hand, and its blood spurted out everywhere. The giant threw away the body casually, turned around and used the bolter in his other hand to accurately shoot the Genestealer and its surrounding fanatics one by one.

Mal stared at the giant in amazement, looking at the black armor and the roaring bolter and power sword. All of this belonged to a group of people, a group of the most extreme killing machines in the galaxy.

Astartes.

The black-armored giant fired heavily, and each shot was accurate. Pieces of blood mist and debris splashed everywhere. The heavy sound of iron feet rumbled in Mal's ears. He was surprised to see that three more Astartes warriors appeared here, suddenly and silently.

They suddenly entered from behind the big hole. Emperor! Did they follow me? How come no one noticed these four three- to four-meter-tall giants were always behind us?!

But obviously, now is not the time to be surprised by this. Four giants strode past Mal, the roar of bolters and chain saws raining destruction on the enemy group. The man holding a power sword and chain saw The deputy giant rushed into the enemy sea and swung his weapon at a speed that was completely incompatible with his own body. It was a vortex of death, crushing all surrounding creatures like a meat grinder.

"Cover us, Commander." A giant said as he walked past Mal. His armor flashed with charming lightning. Mal nodded in affirmation almost immediately, without hesitation or thinking, as if he was a member of these crazy alien traitors. Like when receiving a signal from the master brain.

But Mal's obedience comes from the heart, not from some genetic or psychic signal. The Emperor is above! Giving yourself orders to be an Astartes is enough.

"Cover the Angel of Death! Kill these imperial traitors!" Mal roared, picked up the shotgun and began to fire violently. The giant beside him stepped on the ground, and countless bolts of lightning shot into the enemy group along the floor. A bolt of lightning flashed through countless flesh and blood bodies in the blink of an eye, completely burning them into black coals.

The remaining gang members also rekindled their fighting spirit. When they saw the four Emperor's Angels of Death rushing into the battlefield, it was like a wave of courage and enthusiasm ignited in their hearts. To be honest, as a group of irreligious gang members, they It's a miracle that this happens.

The gang members were like the Astra Militarum warriors who accompanied the Astartes in the battle in the star sea. They used explosive firepower to sweep away the heretics while shouting and followed the giants, moving forward steadily like a steel barrier. Push forward.

The ancestor looked at this scene and was obviously a little surprised. It made a clicking sound, but its hesitation did not last long because a luminous bullet hit its head. Although it was completely unable to kill the monster, But it can irritate it.

The Ancestral Behemoth turned around and looked at Vito, who had obtained a laser gun from nowhere. He looked at the Ancestor mockingly. The monster was enraged. It rushed towards Vito angrily, its footsteps moving in the direction of Vito. During the charge, it even trampled a Genestealer corpse on the road. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the entire floor was dyed blood red as it charged.

The giant beast rushed in front of Vito and swept the giant scythe down like a meteor. Another giant claw on Vito's side was also roaring towards him. Vito had nowhere to hide and would kill him almost instantly. Beaten to a pulp.

But suddenly, a flash of light lit up, and a dazzling stance shield suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It covered Vito's body and instantly bounced off the two giant claws.

Without hesitation, Vito dodged and fell to the side. He suddenly hit the ancestor with a palm. The giant beast seemed to be hit hard by a shock wave. It shook back and retreated, but at the same time, Vito grabbed With a melt gun on the ground, he squatted down and fired at one of the ancestor's paws without thinking.

The melted ammunition hit the ancestor who lost his balance briefly, and hit the claw joint on the abdomen of the ancestor.

The monster roared, roared and slammed its claws on the ground. Countless sharp cuts and pits appeared on the ground. The claws on the monster's abdomen fell to the ground. Its bloody mouth roared toward the sky, and its curled tongue was like Swinging like a whip.

The Ancestor roared in the direction of Vito, and its giant feet crushed the cement tiles on the ground. But suddenly the Ancestor stopped. It heard a sound, a rumble of steel giant feet stepping on the ground.

The First Ancestor suddenly raised his head and looked at the land bridge. He saw a tall Astartes Space Marine wielding a chain axe, howling like a wild wolf, killing through the entire cult defense line and rushing towards this side, fighting with him. Also rushing towards him was another space warrior holding a long sword.

The ancestor understood everything. It roared at Vito angrily, and then quickly ran away towards the corner of the shrine with a flexible body. Vito looked at its back with great distress, "Why are you running!"

"Ah, damn." Vito rubbed his head and cursed. It seemed that he had seen through his delaying plan. Vito threw away the gun and took a deep breath, and sparkling lightning arcs appeared in his palm.

But just when Vito was about to strike with a palm, he stopped. He heard the sound of loading in his ears. Vito smiled bitterly and the arc in his hand gradually dimmed.

"Henry, man, you really shouldn't be here." Vito smiled bitterly and turned his head to look at the black muzzle of the gun. Henry's finger was on the trigger, pointing the death muzzle at Vito's head.

"Vito!" Ragnar and Lancelot rushed up. The two giants immediately pointed their bolt guns at Henry, but Vito pointed in the direction of the ancestor with a swipe of his pen, "Don't worry about here! Go after him. It! Don't let that bitch get away!"

The two Death Watches nodded immediately and rushed over without any reason. Vito watched the two giants leave and slowly stood up. He smiled bitterly and looked at Henry who was holding a gun to his head.

"You are a traitor." Henry said, but Vito smiled and looked at the chaotic venue below. "Are you suspicious? Did you hesitate when you said the word traitor?"

Henry didn't speak, still holding his finger on the trigger, but Vito unexpectedly threw away the laser gun in his hand. He looked directly into Henry's eyes over the muzzle, "The moment the bishop dies, you You saw the truth, right? The true appearance of the clan leader and all the bastards here.”

Henry still didn't speak, holding a pistol against Vito's head. The latter was still so calm. He pointed at his head, "You are a psyker, Henry. Although you don't realize it, scarlet pigment It has very limited effect on you, and Tyran’s node control does not have the ideal effect on you.”

"I don't know why, and I don't know if the Emperor is guarding your soul, but it is precisely because of this that you have not been completely infected by Tyranids, and the influence of Tyranids has never fully taken effect on you, so you doubt the Order. , question them instead of blindly believing everything like everyone else.”

Henry still didn't speak, and he still didn't put down the gun. He frowned and held the gun tightly.

"The Tyranid shield failed when the Bishop died, right? You saw everything, and in that moment you saw the truth of it all, Henry, they were Tyranid."

"The Lord of Redeemer came to eat everything in the entire galaxy and treat us as snacks. That is not redemption at all, it is just a lie to these poor people."

"I know you are disappointed with the empire, and that is normal, but brother, the political situation on this planet will soon be reshuffled, and those insects will be liquidated within a few days. A new future is waiting for you and They, an opportunity, an opportunity for you to realize your ideals is right in front of you, I guarantee that the empire will not regard you as traitors, they are the traitors. "

Countless brilliant bullets flashed around them, just like the inspiration of a dream in the story. They were in the colorful light, and the explosions and shouts of death seemed to be vague hallucinations, and time seemed to have stopped. .

Henry looked at Vito, and the latter looked at him. The muzzle of the laser gun was pressed firmly against Vito's head. Henry frowned, and his fingers gradually tightened and pressed the trigger until it clicked.

Vito could hear the hiss of charging in the laser gun. The beam was converging and would be fired out in a few milliseconds. Everything would be over in a few milliseconds.

The gun rang out, and the laser beam shot out from the muzzle and flew past Vito's ear. A Tyranid infected person who climbed up the platform was shot through the head. He fell off the high platform and fell into the distance. of ground.

Vito watched Henry lower the muzzle of his gun. He watched Vito shake his head slightly, "I don't care what the empire thinks of me, and I don't care whether I can rise to the top of power, Vito."

"I don't care if I am a traitor. I will no longer believe in the Emperor or any gods. I will no longer believe in any promises. I will decide my own destiny."

"But these monsters will destroy my home and slaughter my people, so today I will help you, not for the Emperor and the Empire."

Vito smiled, nodded slightly, turned the muzzle of his gun and shot another Tyranid infected person. Although he didn't know what they looked like in his eyes now, it was obvious that his thoughts were in his own hands.

"Go after the ancestor and do everything you should do." Henry said and turned around to leave. Vito looked at his back and smiled, then rushed forward.
