Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire

Chapter 347 It won’t rain in the nest city

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 has become 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 blew from the front they had just retreated from. Skadi's soldiers felt something was wrong. Since they left the original front They began to retreat one after another relying on fire suppression, and the rearward front showed an unbearable and strange wind.

Some people began to set up temporary tarpaulins. Even if they were sure that it would not rain here, no one would think that their experience was wrong, and when the enemy started charging 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 never rains in the hive city, but now a miracle has occurred. When the rainwater outside the elevator slid the tarpaulin down along the fine gold floor, and finally wet the outside of the tarpaulin, it was an unbelievable situation. Appeared, the hive city, a closed human-made environment, rained.

the officers shouted. "It's just a trick of the 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 and even the lower-level officers who have never seen raindrops 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 wearing a blue robe 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 spiritual 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 abilities 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 multiple 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 approximately 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 currently recorded by the Imperial Guard Expedition could not withstand hundreds of explosive beams at the same time. Attack, and easily blow up the Imperial Guard's impregnable fortress trenches.

"Quickly, prioritize that monster as the main target, codenamed Alpha+. The whole squad will gather firepower, and then each company will be more dispersed. At the same time, we lack heavy firepower. The next battle will be left to the Astartes of the Destruction Eagle. , we are responsible for the cover! ” was the order of the officer, who was also the greatest field commander of the Imperial Guard, to be precise, the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment.

His beautiful cloak and modified palms, as well as the posture of holding a bolt pistol and a chainsword, are somewhat similar to Chief of Staff Kane, his idol, and it was he who brought Alan Bair to the Legion and became a hero, telling him Many taboos and honors.

This old officer, Skadi's chief of staff, was also a graduate of Zhongsi Academy and was more responsible for the ideological work of the army. He spoke calmly.

"Don't be afraid. The first and second companies go to cover the Astartes and leave a path for them. The third and fourth companies are responsible for fire suppression. The fifth and sixth companies are responsible for notifying intelligence and processing information. The seventh company The 8th, 9th and 10th companies are responsible for stabilizing the front line, and the 11th and 12th companies are responsible for strengthening defense projects.”

"Inform the Catachans to move forward and attack with the Astartes. The Stormtroopers will begin guerrilla warfare, try to interrupt and interfere with the enemy, and use range, cover, and high-intensity individual soldier separation combat capabilities to contain the wizard!"

Each company radio responded immediately. "yes!"

He actually has more experience and authority than the second lieutenant. This old soldier is almost the oldest person in this army. Even so, he is still a young man. The clear division of labor has given the Imperial Guard new fighting ideas, and the scattered Instead of gathering.

At this moment, those crazy psychic powers could no longer cause such large-scale deaths in an instant. The big demon couldn't help but slow down the frequency of its psychic energy release. Even if it would not die because of too little psychic energy, using those powers would still Let it tire.

Its old thoughts linked to the pdf commander, and then it spoke. "Mortal, ask your soldiers to cover me, and take everyone with you. I'm going to kill that guy from Zhongsi Academy. He maintains order on the front. If he's still here, there will be more variables in the battle here. "

This kind of psychic power surprised the commander Colonel Corando, but he soon understood the situation. The old man's judgment was very accurate. After extremely fast dispatch, the colonel's private regiment also joined the charging pdf mortal troops. Among them, those soldiers have weapons and equipment equivalent to those of the Imperial Guard. They are not afraid of raindrop lasers and have bulletproof armor that is enough to withstand most stray bullets.

Of course, the most important thing is their indestructible will and extremely high individual combat capabilities, which are the least on the battlefield. That is, they can still maintain the battle even when the enemy is outnumbered, that is, they can fight alone regardless of whether they have a commander or not. The courage to act and the ability to take action.

They were all troops composed of officers, but they were in harmony. However, 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 Bandertal still had a father-son relationship and a blood relationship with it, but now it was fighting for this rebellious son, and all it got was such rotten fish and shrimps. His talisman was made by Qi Ming, the Lord of Changes. There are no Wen soldiers at all. Such soldiers can at most be used as his human shields.

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

However, it saw those soldiers coming in the rain, and their whole bodies were soaked. It thought that it was not easy for fragile mortals to maintain such fighting will under such circumstances. Although they could not keep up with their own demon servants, they did not tear apart Ya Before the ability of space cracks, it could only endure.

"All troops attack!" it shouted, and at the same time the psychic shield was released, leading the team of less than 1,000 people forward. Those deadly projectiles and heat instantly tore those poor people apart, but their courage and training prevented them from retreating. , looking at the expressions and emotions of those mortals, the big demon was very satisfied. Next, it would move forward and lead these soldiers into the trenches.

The soldiers looked at the blue psychic shield in surprise. It was just that the big demon moved forward unilaterally and asked them to fire to suppress the enemy. For it, the thousand or so mortal lives here were to help it reduce the mortal firepower. Props that bring the burden.

Then blood filled its shield again and again, bombs, melt, and death continued. But under the fearless cover of the soldiers, it sauntered forward, heading straight to the position of the chief of general staff.

shouted Officer Skadi. "Hurry up and gather together to protect the Chief of Staff!"

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

Yes, for the battlefield, if this hero's death can be exchanged for a better chance of retaining the Imperial Guard as a whole, it will definitely be fine. However, for the Empire and the Skadi Fourth Regiment, his death is an infinitely painful thing.

The oldest and most senior soldier has led this infantry regiment, which was originally just a line-filling unit, through many miracles. Now he is required to sacrifice his loyal life for the so-called victory?

The wizard was getting closer and closer, and the chief of staff had already entered its psychic range. This terrifying monster burned blue lightning. At this moment, the loyal heir adjusted his military cap, and then replaced the single-molecule blade of the chainsword. He smiled bitterly. "If I can kill this monster, my trip will be perfect."

He stood up from the trench, stepped on the sandbag with one foot, and shouted on the ruined battlefield. "Soldiers of Skadi's First Company, charge with me to kill this demon! For the Emperor!" He raised his weapon high, and the chain sword buzzed, but the wizard was not afraid, even though the servants around it were already dead. , but it just raised its hand.

Next, the loyalist saw an astonishing flash of light and terrible heat, but he found that he could still breathe. It turned out that the soul world also had air?

And he heard a deafening sound. "A natural disaster is coming!"

He saw the jetpack in front of him, which was where the scorching heat came from. The huge demigod stood in front of him. The psychic think tank hero held the Falcon Sword high, and the psychic shield relied on the orb on it. , the magic of Krand's Eye flashed, this superman who was a head taller than the other battle brothers, a warrior with gorgeous decorations and prayers on his body, raised his weapon.

"There is a battle in our destiny, demon." His words were sonorous and powerful, and other space warriors also fell down, holding weapons or power swords. Those battle brothers lined up in a row, constantly firing to clear the approaching PDFs, like thunder warriors, Unstoppable.

Next, Sergeant Catachan's arm held down the chief of staff's body and brought him back to the trench. The commander fell a bit, but he did not complain. He just got up immediately and began to organize the soldiers to retreat.

Next, the eyes of the demigod and the demon met. At this point, Master Chief of the Destruction Eagle's eyes were distorted due to the terrifying spiritual energy in the old man's body. He became more and more convinced that the old man in front of him was not a human being.

And the big devil also spoke. "Eagle of Destruction, I thought you were stationed in Damocles Bay, on Ghost Peak. By the way, do you know? The next expansion target of the Titanium will be it. I saw that wild land transformed by the Titanium. In the sea of ​​fire, those primitive humans and your brothers were all slaughtered by the Tau, and you were fighting side by side with those monster aliens some time ago. "

"You are a treacherous, disgusting thing, manipulated by mortals, infected by mortals, bound by mercy, acting like a puppet, no longer remembered as a soaring eagle."

The Master Chief didn't say a word. He just used his physical right hand to draw his sword and move forward. The mechanical arm of his left hand held the blessed finely crafted plasma gun to shoot the mortals who interfered with him.

Although the Heretic Demon's words are sharp, he is now indestructible. His entire body is flashing with psychic energy, his sharp Falcon Sword glows with a blue light of destruction, and his jetpack moves forward very quickly.

In an instant, at a speed that is difficult for humans to react, several mortals blocking the road were melted by the guns. Then the blade touched the psychic shield. With fierce energy impact, the blade pierced the shield and tore open a gap with lightning. Sergeant Chang opened his mouth at this moment.

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