Chapter 37: The Empire's Frontier: To Survive! To Survive!
Vito sprinted along the edge of the shrine at high speed, and the golden giant statue was shining above his head. Well, it wasn't that good now, after all, it had been covered with many burnt bullet marks and bullet holes from laser guns.
Countless guns roared around Vito Constantine, and countless light bullets and physical bullets shot from the other side continued to smash the walls, the ground and everything around, and fragments and debris flew everywhere, turning this place into a chaotic storm factory.
Vito raised the muzzle of the gun and shot a gene stealer who was rushing towards him. The Inquisitor rushed through the rain of bullets at high speed. He moved between countless bullets, and light bullets and explosive bullets whizzed past his ears. Many of the surrounding gene cultists were smashed into pieces by Niwa, and only Vito passed through it without injury.
The Inquisitor rushed into the archway on one side of the shrine. As soon as he rushed in, he saw a fierce battle. The Genestealer Progenitor fought back hard under the siege of the two Astartes. Its claws drew a flashing arc in the air, but the two giants blocked the counterattack with the same agility.
Ragnar blocked the slashing claws with a chain saw axe, and Fenris's wolf punched the Progenitor in the abdomen. The strong and powerful punch forced the Progenitor back against the wall.
But when Ragnar was about to attack again, the claws on the monster's abdomen suddenly hit him, and the solid biomass shell of the claws hit Ragnar's waist. In the brief moment when Ragnar lost his balance, the Progenitor hit Ragnar's helmet with a backhand, sending the black giant flying.
Ragnar fell not far away, and Fenris Wolf climbed up. He took off his helmet and his teeth clattered from the corners of his mouth. When he raised his head, the tall Tyranid beast was already in front of him, swinging his scythe down and killing Ragnar's head.
But suddenly a burst of bombs hit the chitinous carapace of the ancestor intensively, and countless fragments and ashes were everywhere. The ancestor looked to the side and saw Vito rushing while shooting. The grenade launcher in his hand fired continuously in a very short time. The intensive shooting even made the barrel burn red and almost burst into flames.
Vito threw away the grenade launcher that he had snatched from a pious guard. "Bell! My sword!" he shouted. I don't know why Vito stepped on the spot just right and shouted at the moment when Bell and Olaf rushed into the inner court.
Without hesitation, Bell immediately threw the weapon that was slightly smaller than the Space Marine Chainsword to Vito. The Inquisitor caught the Chainsword. At this moment, he rushed in front of the Progenitor. The giant beast swung its huge claws to hit him on the head, but the Chainsword instantly swung up to block the dangerous claws.
Vito took the Progenitor's head-on blow with his mortal body. He held the Chainsword tightly and suddenly pulled out a plasma pistol from his armpit with his other hand.
It was a dangerous weapon. All plasma weapons were extremely dangerous, but the pistol type was the most dangerous one. Almost no one was willing to use this weapon. The small size made the pistol type's heat dissipation and riot control functions almost zero.
Only the pistol type used by the Space Marines could rely on a larger volume to add a series of safety facilities, while the model used by mortals was a literal self-destruct starter. In the Astra Militarum, only the Punishment Battalion would be equipped with this weapon so that they could "better" kill the enemies of the Emperor.
But Vito raised this weapon and pulled the trigger without thinking. Plasma sprayed out from the small muzzle, and countless ion lightnings instantly shot out, almost looking like it was about to explode.
But no, it didn't explode. The plasma penetrated the flying spark rain and hit the face of the ancestor directly. The plasma melted its carapace with a face, and the flesh and blood underneath were burned and corroded, causing severe pain. The ancestor staggered back and roared.
Bell stepped out almost immediately. The white-armored giant sprinted while holding up the grenade gun and roared. The bomb hit the side of the ancestor's head. The monster instinctively looked to the side, and in this brief moment Bell threw away the grenade gun, strode forward at lightning speed, and grabbed the ancestor's right claw.
The ancestor was startled and prepared to swing his left claw to fight back, but just as he was about to do it, he found that his left claw could not move. He turned his head in astonishment and saw Lancelot holding his claw tightly under his armpit.
The Caliban Knight threw away his beloved sword and grabbed the monster's claws with both fists. The ancestor showed a look of shock that was rare among the Tyranids. It obviously didn't understand what these guys were doing.
"Ragnar! Go!" Vito roared, like a hunter calling a hound, and his hound had already launched an attack.
Ragnar threw away the chain saw axe and rushed up with a howl. He hit the patriarch like a wild bull.
The patriarch was knocked against the wall behind him, and the two Astartes on both sides immediately followed and pressed their claws against the wall. The ancestor roared and waved the claws on his abdomen to stab Ragnar in front of him.
But Fenris's wolf grabbed the claws with both hands and held them at a distance from his head. Fenris's wolf showed its teeth and he laughed and slowly pushed its claws away.
Vito smiled with satisfaction and turned to look at Olaf. "Old wolf! Get ready! Bell! Lancelot! Nail gun!"
Olaf suddenly stepped on the ground, and countless bolts of lightning jumped around him. The flashing lightning illuminated the face of the ancestor. The monster looked in the direction of Olaf and struggled, but the Astartes monks on both sides began to fight. A concave nail gun with the Mechanicus logo on it was pulled out from his waist.
They pulled the trigger, and the concave iron in the nail gun shot out suddenly, fixing the ancestor's claws on the wall. The monster looked at this scene in surprise, and Bell and Lancelot connected and marked its entire arm. After removing the restraining nails, the ancestor roared and struggled, but was fixed by rows of iron nails.
"Brothers! Get out of the way!" Olaf yelled, and lightning arcs danced out of his mouth along with the words. The three Astartes immediately distanced themselves, striding backwards.
Olaf waved his big arm and struck countless lightning bolts at the ancestor. The monster was hit by lightning and screamed. Countless lightning arcs danced on it. Its whole body was instantly covered by lightning. It fiercely He waved his head, and the solid back armor hit the wall, causing the wall to crack in all directions.
The beast's carapace exploded as it roared, and its limbs were pulled forward with all its strength. The iron nails began to loosen, and were pulled out of the wall bit by bit.
Vito frowned as he looked in the direction of the Ancestor. It looked at Olaf. His eyes were spraying with lightning and light. All his energy was devoted to casting spells. Vito was not sure whether he could hear his own voice.
Saliva spurted from the giant beast's mouth, its braided tongue flicked around, and the first iron nail popped out of the wall and hit the ground hard.
"Old Wolf" Vito said and took a step back. He watched the iron nails being pulled out from the wall. The claws gradually began to lean forward. Lightning struck the beast, but that only made it angrier. .
All the iron nails were pulled out, and the Ancestor roared and strode forward. It rushed straight towards Vito and Olaf. The three Astartes all raised their guns and aimed at the Ancestor, but But Vito stopped him loudly.
The giant beast rushed towards them with great speed, rushing towards them with severe pain from Olaf's lightning strike, and falling into that pain brought anger, and anger would make it strike harder when it came into contact with both of them. .
Vito looked at the three people on the side. Their attention was all on the giant beast, and Olaf was obviously fully devoted to it. After making sure that no one noticed him, Vito closed his eyes and then opened them suddenly. .
The giant beast stopped, and its body seemed to be tied by some kind of force. It was suddenly slapped to the ground, and its huge body was pressed to the ground, creating a shallow pit. There was an inexplicable pressure on the ground. The bottom is cracked and broken. To ordinary people, it looks like the giant beast has been knocked down by lightning.
But the ancestor raised his eyes, and he could notice that in the light of lightning, the space and arc around Vito were slightly distorted. They were twisted together like a concave and convex mirror, and even his face was in the distorted space. The bottom was blurred, only a pair of eyes emitting a faint golden light flickered in the chaotic position.
The ancestor's paws were on the ground, and his strong bones and muscles supported him to gradually climb up, but every movement was as difficult as holding up a mountain.
"Olav! Knock it over!" Vito turned his head and shouted, and the old wolf also raised his arms. Giant electric arcs rose up in his hands, and the electric light illuminated the entire inner court like the rising sun, and all metal surfaces were illuminated. Electricity surged all over the place. "In the name of the All-Father! I will send down divine punishment!"
The roar of the old wolf was close to a real wolf howl, and the lightning struck the ground, sparking a dazzling light that was almost like a supernova explosion.
The giant beast roared at Vito, and Olaf struck lightning with his arms forward and struck the ancestor with a blinding strike. The monster burst out with a heart-rending roar, and corrosive substances were sprayed from its bloody mouth. Liquid, but all the saliva was evaporated by lightning before it hit the ground, and the monster screamed and struggled.
But the monster failed after all. The moment the lightning disappeared, the giant beast fell to the ground like a landslide.
The lightning stopped, and the tall giant fell to his knees. Bell immediately rushed over to hold Olaf's arm, but the latter waved his hand, "It's just tired, Bell, that's all."
"I know, old guy." Bell smiled, and then looked at the ancestor in front of him with a trace of steam coming out of his body. Ragna also came over and kicked the motionless big guy with his leg.
"Is it alive?" "Yes, it's still alive, and its vital signs are still responding." Bell said, looking at the data tablet on his wrist, "But it will have to faint for a while."
Ragna laughed loudly and kicked the ancestor again, "Damn it, this is the first time we have captured a Tyranid node creature alive, right? Who brought a camera?"
Lancelot laughed, picked up his knight sword and walked over, "Memory is the best photo, Ragnar, that is a photo of glory."
"I prefer tangible memories of glory." Ragnar said with a mouth full of fangs. He was like a lively wolf cub, always having endless enthusiasm and vitality.
Vito rubbed his neck jokingly. He carried the chain sword and walked to the body of the ancestor. He tilted his head and looked at the behemoth in front of him, "He will survive, right? We still have to do something with it." "
"Yes, he will survive, but he won't be very comfortable when he wakes up. He will probably yell and get nervous like Ragnar usually does." Bell said, helping Olaf up, with his eyes on the hand in his hand. Medical display.
Ragnar showed his full teeth and smiled at the monster, "Your Excellency the Inquisitor, we went to such great lengths to knock this thing down, and we have to carry it out together. I hope it's worth it."
Vito also smiled and looked at Ragnar, "Is it enough to exchange it for a planet?"
Ragnar laughed and bent down to pick up one of the chief's paws.
"I think it's okay, let's carry him away together, kitten."
