Chapter 897 Elite Traitor
The attacking Imperial troops have made great achievements, but the traitors who are responsible for holding the line are by no means unknown. In the Chaos faction, in order to achieve their ambitions, the Chaos Champion will attract various small Chaos Servant groups to form their own army. The size and strength of different forces are very different.
Among them, the Renegade Guard is one of the best troops among all Chaos Servant, in terms of military literacy, equipment, and psychological quality. The army composed of Beastmen and Mutants is barbaric and uncontrollable. For the cruel and ruthless Chaos Champions, these creatures are more cannon fodder than cannon fodder.
The rebellious Imperial Guards have betrayed the Emperor's beliefs, abandoned their duties to protect the Empire and humanity, and thrown themselves into the arms of Chaos from a company to an entire legion. In the process, they will also take away all the weapons they can get. They are like the opposite of the Imperial Guard, but their mental state is more crazy and the decoration of their weapons is more cruel.
The damage to the mechanical beast's body was all caused by weapons familiar to the Imperial Guard. The most dangerous Chaos Space Marines and Degraded Body Clusters in the rebel defense position have not yet appeared.
The Chaos army has set up five lines of defense in the area in front of the Blackstone Spire No. 7. The closer the line is to the spire, the stronger it is. There is a 3,333-meter-wide buffer zone between each line of defense. Nurgle's decaying witchcraft has been poured into the land in advance, making it as difficult to move as a mud pit. Any troops attacking from one line of defense to the next need to overcome the mud pits of varying depths, the stinking carnivorous fly swarms, and the virus mines that can contaminate people into zombies.
The first and second lines of defense, which were built by a small number of rebel guards and a large number of beastmen and mutants, were easily pierced by 20 mechanical beasts. Bendict's armored regiment and other imperial troops rushed up and easily took over the two lines of defense.
"Keep going! Keep going! Don't slow down! Physical fatigue is an illusion of witchcraft! Stay loyal to the Emperor!" The orders of the Imperial officers resounded in the sound array channel. They urged the army to move forward at full speed ruthlessly and excitedly. Slowing down will be dragged into the quagmire, and then there will be no possibility of survival. This is a valuable experience gained with blood.
The Imperial infantry ran closely behind the armored troops. The Imperial political commissar, who always charged at the forefront, supervised the battle behind them. Whenever a soldier stumbled and fell down due to the quagmire, or fell directly into the mud pit with only half of his head exposed, the political commissar would use a pistol to give these soldiers the gift of death. Slowly rotting in the mud is much more terrible than death.
Many enemy tanks suddenly emerged from the third line of defense. Bendict took a rough look. Experience and intuition told him that there were nearly 10,000 tanks in front of him.
The shells of these tanks were wrapped in flowing mysterious colors, and the colors shown from different perspectives were completely different. Many crystal clusters and various eyeballs with full inspiration suddenly grew on the armor.
"AT70 Reaper Tanks, our armor can deal with them." Wright, the first gunner who controlled the Mega Cannon, said excitedly. He had long been excited when he saw the third gunner Dori and the third loader Vaski tearing the enemy into pieces with laser beams and explosive bombs.
"AT70 Reaper Main Station Tanks were called in the past. Now they are terrible machines tainted by witchcraft! I can hear the cry of the machine soul!" Mechanic Hoval was even more excited. As a staunch fundamentalist priest, he hated any additional design beyond the drawings.
"The enemy's tank formation is dense and chaotic. Their masters didn't think they could achieve any results at all. They just used their corpses to delay our pace." Lieutenant Terry said disdainfully.
Bendict was very satisfied with the fighting enthusiasm of the crew members. He calmly and hatefully ordered into the communicator, "All eleven guns are firing at full power! All guardsmen, follow me to the battlefield of glory!"
The best response to Bendict's order was the artillery salvo of the 101st Armored Regiment. The shells wove a net of death and directly hit the tanks that had crossed the third line of defense. Hundreds of AT70 Reaper tanks had their armor destroyed. The shells jumped up and down in the space inside the vehicle body, crushing the bodies of the crew members.
Some vehicles were paralyzed and emitted black smoke, while others exploded, and colorful flames sent the turrets into the sky. And they also fought back against the attacking mechanical behemoths and armored regiments.
The Cadia Solid Stone relied on its heavy armor to block more than a dozen rounds of attacks from the AT70 Reaper main battle tanks. These tanks, which were once produced in the Udesh Forge World, were a whole level lower than the Leman Russ series tanks, and this also made the manufacturing cost of these tanks so low that they could be compared with the products of the Orcs.
The AT70 Reaper does not have any auspicious instruments or laser rangefinders installed in its body, nor does it have gyroscopes to ensure the accuracy of firing while moving. All artillery is calculated by the gunners, but this is not a problem for the crazy tank crew whose half of their heads are replaced by magnificent crystals.
The main guns of the ATA70 tank are a laser cannon and a 105mm speed cannon. According to statistics, these weapons are difficult to penetrate the armor of Leman Russ, but under the pollution of Chaos sorcery, the shells fired by these artillery carry a damn curse.
Bendikt witnessed a squad of six Leman Russ tanks being hit by a salvo of more than fifty AT70 Reaper tanks. At first, the shells could only make a shallow pit on the front side armor of the Leman Russ, but only after a closer look could brown-red rust be found in the shallow pit.
The rust became more and more obvious under the attack of the shells, and the main gun of the AT70 Reaper tank could cause more and more damage to the Leman Russ tank. With an unpleasant creaking sound, an armor-piercing shell finally chiseled into the rusty Leman Russ tank.
The muffled explosion blew the crystal cluster out of the gap in the tank, and the bodies of the crew members hung outside the tank like intestines flowing out of the stomach. Some tanks that were too fragile due to rust were even directly shattered by the expanding crystal clusters. The faces of the crew members struggling in pain were engraved on every face of the crystal.
This strange way of death was enough to cause the weak-willed Imperial Guard to flee on the spot, but after the Great Purge, the Imperial Army fought back with a more ruthless and fearless attitude.
Facing the vicious enemy, they were filled with rage for revenge.
