Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 261 It's getting dark

When Foros led the escort team to rush towards the tyrant, they were first intercepted by the warrior bugs.

A warrior bug jumped up and pounced on Foros when he was still five meters away. However, during its fall, it was pierced by a guard holding a power spear and was thrown away from the spear.

Under normal circumstances, a Space Marine cannot kill a Samurai Bug so easily, except for those wearing Indomitable Terminator Armor.

There were a lot of warrior bugs, and they realized that the tyrant was in danger, so more and more warrior bugs came with knife bugs to intercept Foros and his escort team.

The three combat teams closest to Foros came to support and intercepted other warrior bugs rushing towards Foros.

Looking at the humans getting closer and closer, the tyrant waved his four arms holding bone knives, and charged towards Foros with his huge and strong body.

When the distance between one person and one insect shortened to two meters, the tyrant slashed at Foros with a bone knife in his hand.

At this time, a guard flashed out from Foros's side. The shield in his left hand resisted the falling bone knife, and the war hammer in his right hand hit the tyrant's abdomen.

A wave of energy spread from the impact point of the war hammer to the Tyrant's body, and the huge Tyranid war beast was "exploded" back as if it had eaten a small grenade.

Foros jumped up from behind the guard and thrust his power spear into the tyrant's head.

The disintegrating stance on the weapon destroyed the Tyrant's head carapace and skull, allowing the spear to easily penetrate its entire body and pin it to the ground.

The surviving knife bugs and samurai bugs on the central road seemed to be going crazy, either running around or charging blindly, and their actions were no longer as uniform as before.

Foros pulled out the power spear from the tyrant's corpse, shaking off the blood on the spear handle as he walked forward.

The other Lamenters followed the Chapter Master, clearing away any bugs that could still be seen nearby as they went.

The battle is far from over.

The Wailers only killed a group of bugs that had been hastily dropped by air. Directly in front of them, in their field of vision, there were overwhelming bugs that broke through the outer wall and chased the friendly troops, rushing toward the central passage.

There is a 15-meter-tall giant bug further away, which is a biochemical titan.

But fortunately, the Weepers are not facing these monsters alone. The first company of the Blood Angels has already arrived in front of the Weepers.

"Foros?" Karan was very surprised after seeing Foros, "I thought you were given to the minotaurs by the lackeys..."

"It's a long story." Foros didn't explain much and looked at a Space Marine behind Karan. The man's arm had been broken.

Foros turned to look behind him, "Pharmacist."

The pharmacists in the battle group immediately stepped forward to heal the wounds of the amputated Space Marine and replace his prosthetic body.

Before the next battle began, Karan looked at the wailers in front of him and felt that there was something strange about them.

Even the Apothecary wears Indomitable Terminator Armor.

Moreover, most of the people in their battle group are about three meters tall, much taller than normal space warriors.

Although they were all descendants of Sanguinius, and the Blood Angels were the parent group of the Lamenters, Karan did not feel close to them. Instead, he felt a strange sense of alienation.

Callan thinks this sense of alienation may be due to Froese's line: "The apothecary."

The Lamenters' apothecaries are called Apothecaries, and the Blood Angels' apothecaries are called Blood Priests.

But no matter what, the Weepers came to guard Baal, and they should not be treated coldly.

"Thank you for coming to support." Karan stepped forward and held Foros's hand. "You guys came a little late. I'm not saying that you guys didn't participate in the battle in time, but that you missed the opportunity of all the brothers a while ago. banquet."

"Sorry, we were still in Cadia at that time." Foros walked forward, holding the power spear in both hands and standing upright.The friendly forces withdrew, and the blood slaves and other mortal servants passed between the space warriors and rushed towards the core area of ​​​​the fortress.

Some Space Marines from the Blood Angels Chapter or its sub-chapters remained.

"When are we going to retreat to the back?" The company commander of the Blood Knights ran over and asked Karan.

Karan did not respond immediately, but looked at Foros.

The Weeper, who is armed to the teeth, should not stay here now, but should immediately go to Dante's side, follow his arrangements and participate in the defense of the core area.

But here stood Foros, with his men.

"You should withdraw first." The Blood Knight Captain looked at Foros, "The core area is more important."

"We will retreat." Foros looked at the swarm of insects rushing ahead, "After the last mortal runs past me."

The company commander sighed helplessly, turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "Get ready to fight!"

All Space Marines at the front of the central passage are ready to face the swarm's impact.

Foros sent orders to Tessa to teleport down the Chapter's servants and resupply all Space Marines present.

The Storm Lady detached from the dimensional space and reappeared in orbit, and tens of thousands of servants carrying large and small boxes were sent to the ground.

These servants began distributing ammunition to the Space Marines, and some even went to replenish the missile launcher-equipped warriors in the Lamenter battle squad with new missiles.

The new missiles are not conventional high-explosive missiles, but incendiary missiles specifically designed to deal with the Zerg.

After the missiles were loaded, the Space Marines equipped with missile launchers focused their fire on the forward swarm, and the servants reloaded them again.

The missiles created a sea of ​​fire among the swarm.

Those cannon fodder knife bugs will be burned to ashes if they are touched by sparks, but the number of knife bugs still seems to be large.

Foros estimated that there must be at least hundreds of thousands of knife bugs in the insect swarm in front of him.

The war beasts such as warrior bugs were also burned a lot by the flames, but they seemed to be smarter and would not directly go through fire and water. After thousands of them died, they began to circle around.

The number of samurai bugs is so numerous that they can’t even be counted.

Fortunately, there is artillery in the fortress. After a few test-fired and calibrated cannonballs exploded in the insect swarm, a rain of cannonballs fell into the insect swarm.

After providing supplies, the mortals teleported back to the flagship, and the flagship escaped into the dimensional space again.

At this moment, Foros suddenly found that everything in his field of vision had become very dark: "Is it dark?"

"No." Karan pointed to the sky, "It's just that there are too many bugs."

Foros raised his head and looked at the sky. The swarm of flying insects that covered the sky had just entered Baal and were swooping down towards the fortress.

Tens of thousands of anti-aircraft weapon positions in the fortress began to fire into the sky, and the ground was illuminated by the fire of anti-aircraft weapons.

Karan forced a smile to Foros: "Welcome to Baal."

After saying that, Karan rushed towards the oncoming warrior bug.

All Space Marines present began to engage the zerg swarm.
