Obscure Star Domain/Cadia Sector—Fortress World "Saint" Wal-Mart Nemesis Orbit

The whizzing light bomb shattered the helmet at once, and with the explosion of blood, the plastic steel helmet also exploded instantly. Countless fragments were sprayed on the ground along with brains and dark green steel debris. Cady beside him The soldiers of the Asian Defense Forces were still lying behind the sandbags, holding their guns and firing fiercely forward.

He kept pulling the trigger in his hand, firing laser beams towards the other end of the corridor one after another. Countless gunshots echoed in the long corridor of the star port orbit, bright laser beams and entities whizzing by. The bullets weaved together and blasted forward.

The captain sitting next to the SADF soldier, Captain Carl Vick, leaned on the sandbag. He held a walkie-talkie in his hand and shouted loudly into the microphone, "Regiment headquarters! This is the first battalion! Let's throw it away." Hall 7! Repeat, Hall 7 is lost!”

"We are defending in corridor NV-B-91, but we have suffered heavy losses! Repeat! We need support!" Carl pressed his helmet, bent down and sat behind the sandbag and shouted loudly, and there was an explosion behind him. , the captain raised his head and looked at the terrace corridors on both sides of the corridor above. Following an explosion, several soldiers of the Cadian Guard fell down.

Carl turned around, leaned his shoulder on the sandbag and looked out. He saw a large number of demons rushing in from the steel gate at the other end of the corridor. The scarlet demons of Khorne howled waving flaming red swords and battle axes. Coming for the kill.

The Khorne hound quickly rushed towards the defense forces behind the sandbags in front. The soldier raised his gun and aimed at the charging demon hound and kept firing, but the huge war dog with its bloody mouth was even faster and kept firing. He dodged left and right, dodged all the incoming beams, and then jumped up and threw the guard to the ground.

The soldier fell to the ground all of a sudden. He screamed loudly and waved his arms. Amidst the screams, the Cardia comrades beside him raised their guns and aimed at the hound on him, but before he could As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard heavy footsteps. The soldier immediately turned his gun and aimed at the huge shadow walking next to him.

He fired a shot, and the shining light bullet hit the scarlet armored chest and was instantly bounced away. The guard looked at the scene in surprise and was about to fire the second shot when the muzzle of the gun was suddenly pushed away. When he got out, the huge swing force caused the laser gun in his hand to push out and hit the ground.

The guard soldier in the breastplate raised his head and looked at the tall giant in front of him. The scarlet giant in red heavy armor roared and raised the chain axe. The roaring giant ax chopped the body of the guard into pieces. It hit him directly on the head, and the chain saw teeth tore apart his entire body.

The Cadian warrior who was split into two fell to the ground, and the remaining comrades beside him also looked at the red steel giant. The burly giant turned to look at them, but did nothing else. At that moment, the Daemons of Khorne rushed through the sandbags, and the Vampire wielding the blood sword struck one person in the neck.

The man who was slashed in the neck whimpered, covering his bleeding neck, and stepped back repeatedly. He muttered something in vague words, but before he could speak clearly, the vampire in front of him rushed out. Go up, raise your sword and chop off his head at once.

The guard's head fell from his neck. As the head wearing a steel helmet crashed to the ground, several corpses around it also fell down one after another. The rolling heads attached to the helmet rolled a few steps away. Then he was stepped on by the vampire's clawed legs and feet.

It picked up the head, and the vampire holding the sword of blood raised the head high, as if to let someone far away see clearly, it opened its fangs. The giant red mouth roared with a deep voice that seemed to come from the deepest part of hell.

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god! Skull sacrifice to the skull seat!" The vampire roared, raised his sword and shouted into the air, but suddenly his whole body flew back, and at the same time, a piece of blood bloomed on his chest. .

The roaring and dense bombs roared in the direction in front of the gate. The barrages shot away shattered several vampires at the door in the blink of an eye. Their bodies were suddenly torn into pieces, and dark red blood flowed all around. Splattered on the walls and floor.

Howling forward in the corridor, the demons that slaughtered the guards along the way finally stopped. They were hit by the oncoming barrage. The entire corridor was filled with countless splashes of blood and broken and twisted limbs. , the flying bomb suddenly hit a fast-moving Khorne hound.

The hound that just happened to pounce was hit in the face by a gunshot. It flew backwards and hit the stone pillar in the corridor. It also dropped its headless and huge blood cave body next to the red giant. The traitor Astartes suddenly dodged back and leaned behind the pillar, with large pieces of steel and stone flying around him.

At the other end of the corridor, Karl put down the walkie-talkie. He raised his head and looked at the heavy machine gun roaring in front behind a bullet-proof shield. The heavy machine gun removed from the Chimera was behind the explosion-proof shield. The muzzle of the gun protruded from the groove on the shield, and when it was aimed at the end of the corridor, there was a burst of fierce fire.

The shooter held the butt of the gun and stared at the sight in front with his eyes attached to the side of the gun body, sweeping across the entire corridor. The roaring barrage suppressed the demons chasing out of the hall behind the steel gate in the flash. , at least temporarily suppressed.

Karl breathed a sigh of relief. He sat back on the sandbag and picked up the intercom. "The devil has been suppressed for the time being. Send support as soon as possible. We need a company of guards."

Before Karl finished speaking, he saw a broken head flying through the sandbag in the air and landing in front of him. The head was still connected to the neck and part of the shoulder. Blood overflowed from the broken gap, staining it. The whole ground turned red.

Karl looked at the rolling face. He knew his face and remembered it very clearly, because it was the head of the Guards machine gunner he had just seen. Karl was startled and immediately got up and looked in the direction of the machine gun in front of him. The gun crew members looked at the shooter who fell backwards, raised their heads and looked forward, and then they all met the same fate.

At the other end of the corridor, the steel giant hiding behind the stone pillar suddenly stood up sideways. He raised the bolt gun in his hand and pointed it at the machine gun in this section of the corridor. In the blink of an eye, several more Guardsmen were blown into pieces. Blood flower.

Karl looked at the blood-red giant who walked out of the stone pillar. As he walked, he kept pulling the trigger and firing forward. Several other traitorous tall giants also walked outside the gate behind him. They followed him with bolt guns. Finally, the muzzle of the gun in his hand kept turning to harvest lives.

"Correct the information! Correct the information! The opponent has Astartes! We need Astartes support! We need it now!"

Karl yelled at the walkie-talkie, looking at the flashing muzzle of the gun, the bomb roared in and shattered a guard soldier who stood up in front of Karl's sandbag. He raised the grenade in his hand and prepared to attack the traitor ahead. They threw it, but as soon as he raised the projectile, he was hit by a shot. His entire upper body exploded into pieces, and his broken palm also fell from the air.

Karl looked at the fallen palm, which still held the grenade. The captain glared and cursed before standing up quickly. He didn't even have time to inform the other guard sitting with him that the man looked at it. The captain, who turned over and ran back, raised his head and looked outside in confusion.

The captain quickly ran to a stone pillar in the corridor behind the sandbags. He leaned behind the pillar and heard an explosion outside at the same time. Karl buried his head inward behind the stone pillar, and the explosion raised his head. Dust flew past him, and Carl opened his eyes a moment later to see a broken arm rolling across the ground.

Karl leaned behind the pillar, listened to the gunshots outside, and then stuck his head out. He saw the traitor Astartes coming from behind. The corridor, obviously the obstacles in front of them were like paper, and they were almost instantly collapsed and shattered, along with the defenders behind them.

A brave guard stood up. He climbed up from the ground, picked up the bayonet on the laser gun in his hand, and stabbed the Astartes on the side, but the bayonet just hit the side of the traitor's abdomen. The armor was broken in an instant. The guard was startled and raised his head with the gun in hand and looked at the tall giant in front of him, and the latter also lowered his head and looked at him.

The whistling chain ax suddenly bloomed with blood in front of Karl, and the powerless body fell limply to the ground. Karl leaned behind the pillar and looked at the tall red giant slowly walking towards him. He seemed to have noticed that He found himself hiding behind the pillar, and then walked over holding a battle ax and crushing several corpses.

Karl watched the red giant approaching and took a breath. He turned to look at the floor-to-ceiling window in the colonnade beside him. Outside the window, fire was flying. He witnessed the explosion and disintegration of an Imperial destroyer. The ship violently exploded outside the window. The ground exploded, and a huge shock wave rushed forward and hit the outer wall of the star port.

Karl raised his arms in front of him, and the explosion flames shone on his arms and half of his face under his chin. The eyes under his arms then looked out from the gap. What he saw was a burning starry sky, and The Imperial Navy fleet collapsed in that sea of ​​fire.

The Chaos battleship rushed past the flames. The huge hull almost blocked the entire view of the window. Karl looked at the burning sea of ​​​​fire outside the window. The firelight projected through the window into the corridor, and also illuminated the place placed on it. A huge box by the window lit up the dozens of melt grenades stored in the buffer sponge.

Karl looked at the grenade in the firelight, and he heard the traitor Astartes walking behind him. Caul leaned against the pillar and fell into silence amidst the screams of the defense line crumbling behind him, but he just He was silent for a while, because he already knew what he should do.

Karl suddenly raised the walkie-talkie and looked at the ammunition box under the firelight. "I will blow up the corridor and cut off the advancement line of Chaos. Cadia will never fall!"

He put down the walkie-talkie, put it on his waist and strode out from the colonnade. He bent down and kept dodging the bombs and beams fired from the side and rushed through the corridor quickly. Karl came flying with one shot. A sliding shovel in front of the explosive bomb dodged the warhead, and then suddenly slid to the box.

Karl's shoulder hit the box and stopped. He stood up holding the box and looked at the melt grenade inside. Karl turned and looked at the red giant striding towards him. He knew that he didn't have much time. The captain immediately picked up one of the grenades, deftly pulled out the fuse and pressed the detonation button.

The lights on both sides of the grenade quickly lit up along both sides of the projectile. The flashing lights turned on quickly. After flashing intermittently several times, they flashed at the same time. It was a state of preparation for explosion. As long as Karl pressed it. The grenade will explode.

"For Cardia!" Karl shouted loudly, raised his finger suddenly, and pressed it down. But just when Karl was about to press the detonating switch of the grenade, the walkie-talkie on his waist suddenly rang for no reason. He stood up, and a deep voice came from among them.

"If you really want to do it for Father Void, don't detonate that grenade." The voice suddenly stunned Karl subconsciously. He looked at the grenade in his hand with a surprised expression. He lowered his head and looked at the flashing light on his waist. Intercom for communication lights.

"Why? We can't hold our position, we." Before Carl could finish his words, he saw the huge shadow that shrouded in front of him. He raised his head and looked at the source of the shadow to the side. It was the huge red giant. He walked in front of Carl. He raised the chain ax in his hand.

Karl's eyes widened as he looked at the chain ax illuminated by the firelight above his head. He watched the battle ax fall with a crash, his eyes fixed on the falling ax blade without even blinking. , so he also saw the sharp claws that immediately caught the tomahawk.

The claw was suddenly placed in front of Karl, and the chain ax collided with each other. Dazzling sparks instantly shot out from the claw. Karl looked at the claw with blue lightning beating in front of him in surprise. The traitor holding the battle ax was also shocked, and then immediately looked up at the tall figure beside him.

The traitor withdrew his chain ax, raised it high at a rapid speed, and prepared to attack. However, his speed was not as fast as the giant that suddenly appeared next to him. The burly figure punched him instantly, and the roaring chain saw teeth came out from behind. The arm instantly roared and hit the traitor.

The traitor's chest armor was instantly shredded by the tearing of the chain saw, and the whizzing iron fist instantly hit the chest that sprayed out steel fragments, hitting it to the side. Zi flew up and was hit by a huge fist against the pillar, almost collapsing it.

The burly giant strode forward, retracted his chainsaw gauntlet and then thrust out the lightning claw of his other hand. In an instant, he pierced the traitor's torn chest with its sharp claws, and the beating lightning claws suddenly emerged from the air. It bounced out from behind. The red giant was shaken and his hands instantly straightened. The chain ax in his hand also fell to the ground.

Karl's eyes widened and he looked in surprise at the burly giant wearing heavy Terminator armor in front of him. He was taller than the traitor, and was more than one punch bigger. The giant wearing Terminator raised his claws to hit him. The traitor was pulled off the pillar. The traitor's legs were kneeling on the ground, and he was dragged helplessly towards the corridor beside him.

The power claws stabbed out from its back, hanging it in the hand as if it was hooked on a piece of clothing. The Terminator armor suddenly stepped out of the stone pillar, and the heavy footsteps instantly attracted the attention of all the traitors in the corridor. They all immediately turned their heads. The person at the front threw away the body of the guard in his hand and rushed forward with an angry roar as he looked at the corpse of his brother who was dragged to the ground.

He raised the chain saw ax in his hand and rushed towards the burly Terminator giant at lightning speed, but the latter struck out the chain saw glove in his hand even faster, and the iron fist roared forward. The chain ax slashed by the traitor collided head-on. The two weapons collided, but the iron fist was obviously superior.

The iron fist he wielded knocked the battle ax away with pure force. The traitor took a few steps back under the impact of the huge force, but the moment he raised his head, he was hit by the bottom-up blow. The chain saw iron fist hit the lower side of the helmet at once. The roaring saw teeth instantly tore apart the surface of the helmet, and the whizzing slices left a whole row of huge deep holes in it.

The traitor suddenly fell to the ground on his back. The other traitors behind him looked at the fallen brother. His entire face was chopped into pieces together with the helmet, and the fragmented and blurred flesh and steel were almost mixed together. Can't tell who is who.

Karl looked at the traitor who fell to the ground, raised his eyes to look at the tall giant standing in front of him, he turned his head slightly and looked at Karl behind him with the scarlet eyes on the black helmet, "You ask, why, why not Blow up this corridor."

"The reason is very simple, because Father Void also needs this corridor, and his sharp blade needs to be thrust out from here." The Terminator Giant said loudly, raising the power claw and then throwing it forward. The traitor above was suddenly thrown out and fell to the ground.

The Terminator stared at the traitors in front of him and slowly raised his claws and pointed forward. He pointed at the traitors holding weapons. His tall body revealed a strong sense of coercion. He stared at them, the blood-red war The helmet's eyes flashed with a biting red light, "Pierce through their hearts from here."

The Terminator pointed at the chest of one of the traitors. The man obviously didn't understand what it meant. Karl didn't understand either whether it was a modification or what it meant, but he soon understood that it was a pure adjective. When the traitor's A huge bloody hole was left on his chest.

Carl was shocked. Of course he knew that the hole was not caused by the Terminator using some powerful psychic energy, but by an equally powerful bolter originating from the power of the Forge World Ohm Messiah. Carl suddenly Turning to look to the side, a whole group of Astartes instantly appeared from the corridor.

The gray Astartes with the Roaring Shark symbol painted on their shoulders held guns and strode past the Terminators on both sides. They raised their guns and pointed them at the traitors in front of them, then fired fiercely at the traitors in front of them. Several of them The traitor fell instantly, while the others suddenly grasped their battle axes and got into fighting postures.

The tall Terminator Astartes rushed forward at a speed completely unmatched by that Terminator. The chain fist he waved shredded the armor, while the lightning claw on the other hand shattered flesh and blood. In the blink of an eye, he was there. Flowers of blood bloomed among the crowd, and as his heavy footsteps continued, several more corpses fell around him.

The Terminator raised his claws high and pointed at the door ahead. He raised his head on the tall armor and pointed at the demons at the door, "Tear their flesh and blood and pierce their hearts."

The demons looked at the Terminator, and then all the Khorne demons suddenly clenched their weapons. They stared with wide eyes at the gray power armor warriors who rushed past the Terminator's body, wielding roaring chain axes. , charging towards the demons ahead in a thunderous battle cry.

The warrior who stepped forward raised his chain axe, instantly shattering the face of a vampire. He suddenly pulled out his axe, raised the long handle high and roared. The battle brothers behind him rushed forward like a group of crazy sharks. Go up, and the terrifying roar makes even the demons of Khorne tremble.

Karl looked at the scene in front of him that he was destined to never forget. He looked at the blood flying everywhere, like a mirror image of the carnage in hell on earth. He raised his eyes and looked at the tall Terminator giant holding the fists of carnage and stepping on it. The piles of corpses on the ground walked towards the front door, leaving a long scarlet blood trail under his feet and behind him.

Karl looked at those terrifying Astartes. He couldn't even distinguish them from the Khorne demons for a while, but another explosion from the side interrupted Karl's thoughts and made his eyes turn away from the hellish scene. Move away.

He turned to look at the window on the side, where another explosion occurred, but the difference this time was that the explosion was a chaotic battleship. The body of the battleship sliding through the window was pierced by countless luminous pillars, in front of Karl. It tore out countless burning cracks and then exploded and disintegrated.

The body of the battleship was torn apart in the ferocious explosion, and the detonated reactor exploded from within the body, directly exploding it into a rain of steel that bloomed in all directions. In the center of the flying rain of burning iron, Karl saw A huge golden ship roared into the orbit of the planet.

On the back of the golden battleship, the light spear turret aimed at the surroundings and fired bright beams of light. The macro cannon on the side fired a salvo and hit a chaos battleship flying by. The battleship's void shield instantly broke the shield and was fired. After being hit, it burned with fire and became paralyzed.

Karl walked to the window and looked at the paralyzed battleship. He thought it could survive until the golden giant ship completed reloading, but Carl was wrong. The battleship exploded instantly. It was not the golden giant that destroyed him. ship, but another warship.

The huge battleship emerged from the flames, and behind it, countless propeller flames lit up from the starry sky. That was the empire's fleet.

Karl stood in front of the window, looking at the raging fire outside the window. This time, it was the turn of the traitors' blood to burn in the Milky Way. He turned his head and looked at the huge golden ship roaring and turning past the window. He looked to that side. When he was slowly about to blurt out the name branded on the side of the ship, the communicator on his waist rang again.

"This is Admiral Speyer, all Imperial units, the Brotherhood of the Astartes, the Imperial Navy, in the name of the Emperor and the High Marshal, everyone, begin the counterattack!"
