Chapter 347 It Won’t Rain in the Nest

About half an hour after the order was issued, a strange sight that even the emperor had never seen appeared. Although it had always been there, this time it still exceeded most people's imagination.

Battlefields have always been associated with extreme climates. From the beginning of the era of thermal weapons recorded in human history to the dark and terrifying 40,000 years to the present, large-scale wars have been accompanied by hurricanes, rainfall, mud and humidity.

The strong explosion and heat quickly evaporate the water, which then turns into cumulonimbus clouds. At this point, continuous rain becomes a characteristic of trench warfare, especially positional warfare.

The veterans are all too familiar with the hot, humid and disgusting wind. In this narrow metal elevator, this kind of wind blows from the front line they just retreated from. Skadi's soldiers feel that something is wrong. Since they left the original front line They began to retreat one after another relying on fire suppression, and the rearward front showed an unbearable and strange wind.

Someone began to set up a temporary tarpaulin. Even if they were sure that it would not rain here, no one would think that their experience was wrong. When the enemy charged again, a strange kind of rain fell.

In this place where there is no atmosphere, raindrops should not fall. In this place where there is no normal ecology, everything is controllable by humans.

But when Shangchao's pdf wiped the liquid on his forehead, the Chaodu guys shouted. "What is this?" Next, the suffocating hurricane fell with heavy rain.

Yes, it doesn't rain in the hive city, but now a miracle has occurred. When the rainwater outside the elevator slid down the trench's ground tarpaulin along the fine gold ground, and finally wet the outside of the tarp, it was an unbelievable situation. Appeared, the Hive City, a closed human-made environment, and it rained.

the officers shouted. "It's just a trick of heretics. Those liquids were spread from the upper drainage outlet. They want to paralyze our weapons with moisture and disturb our soldiers with abnormal weather!"

Although the soldiers did not believe that man-made rain could be made to resemble real rain, the strict superior-subordinate relationship between officers gave them complete trust. This is the irreplaceable dignity and effectiveness of officers on the battlefield. As long as they exist, the violent army will The organization will not loosen and collapse.

At the same time, such raindrops have a greater impact on the enemy. The primers fired by inferior weapons in the hive city begin to become unstable. People in the hive city who have never seen raindrops and even the lower-level officers begin to feel a little shaken and confused. In such a tense situation, moment, but he has to brave the unprecedented weather to move forward and fight a powerful enemy?

Such thoughts take root in the hearts of the soldiers. If they don't want to bet on whether the machine gun array set up for them can still shoot, if they don't want to use pensions to provide their families with a normal life, or if they don't want to pray that they will be chosen by the gods, stand out, and... With all the comrades around him moving forward, this ragtag group of people would probably be defeated and dispersed!

At the same time, part of the reason why those people were able to advance was that the firepower of the Imperial Guard was suddenly reduced a lot. Most of them were compressing the defense line, abandoning external defense points and trenches, sentry towers or lumen towers. In less than half an hour, the battle line It retreated more than 500 meters, leaving plenty of room for death in the place where this huge metal elevator would become a metal meat grinder.

When the rain followed the hurricane and fell into the metal elevator, a burst of thunder fell at an inappropriate time. In the phantom-like light and electricity, an old man in blue robes appeared. He raised the bronze scepter in his hand. The hustle and bustle of the entire battlefield seemed to be silent because of him.

After a silence that lasted less than a second, the Skadi officers shouted. "Alpha level psyker! Shoot! Shoot! Retreat at the same time, don't get close to this monster!" His order was bright, and the army began to shoot and suppress in an orderly manner, but when the storm bombs and plasma or deflagration beams approached, a layer of The blue psychic shield is like an invisible arm that completely blocks those things.

Mortal weapons are like toys to this thousand-year-old demon. It can mobilize the psychic energy of subspace and can easily rival the best personal void shield in the empire. At the same time, as a demon, it has almost no shortcomings in the continuity of psychic energy. Its body allows its psychic powers to only remain at Alpha level by Imperial standards.

But it is not a human being. The complexity of the spells it masters and the abilities of its multi-system classmates are beyond the reach of ordinary people, unless that mortal is the legendary immortal person.

At this point, it raised its hand. The bright light was as bright as a star, and the heat was no different from the Empire's heavy plasma gun. After a violent flash, a beam of ball lightning visible to the naked eye fell behind the dense firepower of the Imperial Guard. Two plasma guns, one The typhoon bombs, three heavy weapons teams of 9 people and about 60 meters of sandbag trenches and barbed wire vaporized instantly, leaving a cherry red trace of death.

In an instant, the shield pressure suddenly dropped. He raised his hands, and the fierce subspace spiritual energy turned into endless telekinesis, instantly pushing away hundreds of the Imperial Guard's heavy armored vehicles of about 42 tons each parked on the front line. At the same time, This triggered a chain explosion of fragmentation mines buried behind the battle lines.

It took less than five seconds to complete these two actions, and 300 Imperial Guardsmen died, and two important fronts were torn apart at the same time.

The officers were stunned. They had seen psykers, but the combat power of this monster was far beyond their imagination. Even the most powerful wizard or psychic creature recorded by the Imperial Guard Expeditionary Team could not withstand hundreds of explosive beams at the same time. Attack, and easily blow up the Imperial Guard's impregnable fortress trenches.

"Quick, prioritize that monster as the main target, codenamed Alpha+, all squads gather firepower, and then each company will be more dispersed. At the same time, we lack heavy firepower. The next battle will be handed over to the Astartes of the Destroyer Eagle, and we will be responsible for cover!" It was the order of the officer, who was also the Imperial Guard, and more precisely, the greatest battlefield commander of the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment.

His beautiful cloak and modified palms, holding the bolt pistol and chainsword, are somewhat similar to Chief of Staff Kane, his idol, and he also brought Alan Baier to the Legion, made him a hero, and told him many taboos and honors.

This old officer, the Chief of Staff of Skadi, is also a graduate of Zhongsi College, and is more responsible for the ideological work of the army. He spoke calmly.

"Don't be afraid. The first and second companies will go to cover the Astartes and leave a path for them. The third and fourth companies will be responsible for fire suppression. The fifth and sixth companies will be responsible for notifying intelligence and processing information. The seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth companies will be responsible for stabilizing the front line. The eleventh and twelfth companies will strengthen the defense works."

"Notify the Catachans to move forward and attack with the Astartes. The stormtroopers will start guerrilla warfare and try to interrupt and interfere with the enemy. Use the range and cover, and the high-intensity single-soldier separation combat capability to contain the wizard!"

The radios of each company answered immediately. "Yes!"

He actually has more experience and authority than the second lieutenant. This old warrior is almost the oldest person in this unit. Even so, he is still as good as ever. The clear division of labor has given the Imperial Guard a new battle idea, scattered but not gathered.

At this moment, those crazy psychic energies can no longer cause such a large-scale death in an instant. The big demon can't help but slow down the frequency of its psychic venting. Even if it will not die because of too little psychic energy, using those powers still makes it tired.

Its old thoughts connected to the commander of PDF and then spoke. "Mortal, tell your soldiers to cover me. Take all the people with you. I'm going to kill the guy from Zhongsi Academy. He maintains the order of the front line. If he's still here, the battle here will have more variables."

Such a psychic ability surprised the commander Colonel Korando, but he soon understood the situation. The old man's judgment was very accurate. After a very fast dispatch, the colonel's private corps also joined the charging PDF mortal troops. Those soldiers had weapons and equipment equivalent to the level of the Imperial Guard, and were not afraid of raindrops of lasers and bulletproof armor that was enough to resist most stray bullets.

Of course, the most important thing is their indestructible will and extremely high individual combat capability, which is the least on the battlefield, that is, they can maintain the battle when the enemy is numerous and we are few, that is, they have the courage and action to act alone regardless of whether there is a commander or not.

They are all troops composed of officers, but they are in tune with each other. It's just that when those soldiers came to the old wizard through the hail of bullets, the great demon showed a faint sense of loss.

It thought that Bandettar and it still had a father-son relationship and blood relationship, but now it was fighting for this rebellious son, but only such rotten fish and shrimp came. He didn't have any rune warriors made by the Lord of Change Qiming, and such soldiers could only be his meat shields at most.

Seeing this situation, the big devil was completely disappointed with Bandettar. He probably wanted to kill his biological father with the hands of the Skadi people, and then take charge of the entire layout of the Lord of Change in this star region.

However, it saw those soldiers coming in the rain, their bodies were already soaked. Thinking of such a situation, it was not easy for fragile mortals to maintain such a fighting spirit. Although it could not catch up with its own demon servants, it could only endure before it had the ability to tear open the subspace cracks.

"All troops charge!" it shouted, and at the same time, the psychic shield was released, leading this team of less than 1,000 people forward. Those deadly bullets and heat instantly tore those poor people apart, but courage and training made them not retreat. Looking at the expressions and emotions of those mortals, the demon was very satisfied. Next, it would move forward and lead these soldiers into the trenches.

And those soldiers looked at the blue psychic shield in surprise. It was just that the demon walked forward unilaterally, and asked them to fire and suppress the enemy. For it, the lives of a thousand mortals here were props to help it reduce the burden brought by mortal firepower.

Then blood filled its shield again and again, bombs, hot melt, and death continued. It was just under the fearless cover of the soldiers that it walked forward leisurely and walked straight to the position of the chief of staff.

Skadi officer shouted. "Gather quickly and protect the chief of staff!"

But the child from Zhongsi Academy spoke. "No need, keep my order, my death doesn't matter!" At the same time, he pulled out his weapon and fired.

Yes, for the battlefield, if the death of this hero can exchange for a better chance of survival of the Imperial Guard as a whole, it certainly won’t matter. However, for the Empire and the 4th Skadi Regiment, his death is an extremely tragic thing.

This oldest and most experienced warrior has led this infantry regiment, which was originally just a filling-in force, through too many miracles. Now he is asked to sacrifice his loyal life for the so-called victory?

The wizard is getting closer and closer at this moment. The chief of staff has entered its psychic range. This terrible monster burning with blue lightning, at this moment, the loyal heir adjusted his military cap, and then replaced the monomolecular blade of the chainsaw sword. He smiled bitterly. "If I can kill this monster, my journey will be perfect."

He stood up from the trench, stepped on the sandbag with one foot, and shouted on the ruined battlefield. "Soldiers of the First Company of Skadi, charge with me and kill this demon! For the Emperor!" He raised his weapon, and the chainsaw sword hummed, but the wizard was not afraid. Although the servants around him were all dead, he just raised his hand.

Then the loyalist saw an amazing flash and a terrible heat, but he found that he could still breathe. It turned out that there was air in the soul world?

And he heard a deafening voice. "The Scourge is coming!"

He saw the jetpack in front of him, and the heat came from it. The huge demigod stood in front of him. The psychic think tank hero held up the Falcon Sword, and the psychic shield was powered by the gem on it. The magic of the Eye of Krand flickered. This superman who was taller than other fighting brothers, with gorgeous decorations and prayers on his body, raised his weapon.

"We have a battle in our destiny, demon." His words were sonorous and powerful, and other Space Marines also fell down, holding weapons or power swords. Those battle brothers lined up and kept firing to clear the approaching PDFs, like thunder and lightning, unstoppable.

Then the Catachan sergeant's arm held the chief of staff's body and brought him back to the trench. The commander fell a bit, but he didn't complain, just got up immediately and began to organize the soldiers to retreat.

Then, the demigod and the demon looked at each other. At this point, the eye indicator of the sergeant chief of the Destruction Eagle was distorted because of the terrible psychic energy in the old man's body. He became more and more convinced that the old man in front of him was not human.

And the big demon also spoke. "Destruction Eagle, I thought you were stationed in Damocles Bay, on Ghost Peak. By the way, you know? It will be the next expansion target of Titanium. I saw that wild land 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 monsters and aliens some time ago."

"You are a treacherous and disgusting thing, operated by mortals, infected by mortals, bound by kindness, acting like a puppet, no longer remembering the Flying Eagle."

The Master Chief said nothing. He just drew his sword with his right hand, which was still in the flesh, and the mechanical arm in his left hand held the blessed precision plasma gun to shoot at the mortals who interfered with him.

Although the heretic demon's language was sharp, he was now indestructible. He was seen with psychic energy flashing all over his body, the sharp Falcon Sword glowed with the blue light of destruction, and the flying backpack moved forward very quickly.

In an instant, at a speed that even humans could hardly react to, several mortals who blocked the road were melted by the guns, and then the blade touched the psychic shield, and the fierce energy impact pierced the shield, tearing a gap with lightning, and the sergeant spoke at this moment.

"I don't regret it, I did it in the past, I do it now, and I will do it in the future, and you can't even go back to the highest heaven!"
