The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Chapter 295: Sacred valley

   Time is running out, and there is not much time to choose. When they learned that endless rebels were swarming to the fortress of the Ministry of Justice, Soshyan and Gorgri quickly made a decision.

   All the astral armies and some Astarte stayed at the fortress, concentrated their most capable forces, and rode the Thunder Eagle to directly attack the ancient ruins pointed by Marcus.

   First, solving the altar became the first goal, but Soshyang believed that they would definitely be able to meet the culprit there.

   In this operation, the Astral Knights dispatched a total of 10 people, including the priest Yazdan and Falzad's team, while the Ustad team stayed behind the fortress to assist in the defense.

   The Soul Drinker dispatched 110 soldiers, all veterans of the battle group.

   A total of four Thunder Eagles were dispatched by the two sides. They did not carry large equipment and had only partial heavy firepower, because according to Marcus, the ruins were in a valley.

   A special team composed of two battle groups set out early in the morning the second day of the riot.

   When they arrived at this place called Shenghaixia by the locals, they did not encounter any enemies.

   This gorge is located at the junction of the second and third parishes. It used to be the place where the saints’ bones were buried. Therefore, believers also built their tombs here, so it was called the sacred gorge.

   The gorge is more than 100 kilometers long from north to south, the narrowest point is only 50 meters, and the deepest point is more than 600 meters.

  The location of the ruins is at the deepest part of the canyon.

   When Thunder Eagle sent them to a depth of 100 meters, they could no longer descend, so the team could only move forward on foot.

   Valledo has a history of tens of thousands of years. The long time has allowed countless generations of people to multiply here, and countless tombs have been created. The entire canyon’s rock walls are densely covered with tombs that have been dug out.

   Due to the tight space, there is even a special view of hanging coffins. Many coffins are directly fixed on the rock wall with iron pillars.

   All the way down the stairs dug by the mourners, the sky is getting darker and darker above them.

   When it reached a depth of 500 meters, it had become like night, and torches could be seen on both sides of the stairs.

The bottom of the canyon has also been flattened into a path that is barely a road. A large number of bones that have not completely decomposed can be seen on both sides of the rock wall. Some have fallen from broken coffins, and some are poor. I couldn't afford a coffin at all, so I just threw the body below.

  After years and months, this place has almost become a skeletal corridor, and it has become extremely horrible.

   Among the pale skeletal bones, in addition to the dots of phosphorous fire, some burial objects can also be seen.

  Some are jewelry, some are objects of the deceased, weapons and the sky eagle emblem.

   Down this road, there was no other sound except the sound of everyone's footsteps.

   Unless the demon doesn't care about this altar, it would be too abnormal.

   When Soshyang told Gorgeli of his concerns, the other party also agreed and asked the soldiers to be ready for battle at any time.

  Marcus and his entourage also followed the star warriors to this place.

   From the beginning, he expected that he would encounter an enemy, the key is when and where——

  As everyone approached the hidden ruins, a burst of electric sparks suddenly passed over Marcus's cerebral cortex, like a sharp claw.

   "There is an enemy ahead!"

   Three seconds after the words were spoken, there was a sudden explosion in front of the team-the enemy buried explosives in the bones on both sides of the road.

   Thanks to Marcus's reminder, the soldiers who walked in the front instinctively turned to the bunker for the first time, avoiding the most violent explosion impact-although they were still thrown out, they were not injured.

   After the explosion, there was gunfire.

   "Hidden!"

   Gorgri yelled, and bullets passed over his head, bursting into a monotonous explosion on the desolate soil and rocks.

   "Faku squad, follow me! The other squads are in place, waiting for the signal!"

   When the captain of the Soul Drinker mobilized his team, Soshyang was also moving. He ran to the nearest fire point, knowing that Farzad's team was right behind him.

   A rain of bullets was intertwined in the narrow valley bottom. After approaching, Soshyang discovered that the enemy was hiding in the tombs on the rock wall and shooting them from a high level.

  The gunfire illuminated the dark canyon, giving everything a cold halo.

   The enemy even deployed an automatic turret, and that thing poured artillery fire on the marching soul drinkers, while more than a hundred Astartes gathered in accordance with the classic assault array and launched an attack on the entrance hidden by the boulder.

  Gorgri's tactics are very simple, staying at the bottom of the valley is a living target, and simply hits directly into the ruins.

   But the enemy’s firepower is very fierce. In addition to the laser rifle, there are heavy firepower such as heavy bombs, dual automatic lasers, etc. Gorge rushed for a moment, and finally had to slide behind a rock.

  The flame tongue of the automatic turret gnawed down pieces of gray rock beside him.

   At this time, Soshyang and his soldiers held up their shields to resist the enemy's artillery fire, and quickly came to his sides.

   Soshyang, who has had many times of combat experience in narrow terrain, deliberately asked Farzad's team to bring the jump shield before setting off. This time it really worked.

   And he himself, at least for now, the enemy has no firepower that can threaten him.

   "Do they seem to be prepared?"

   "They must understand that we will come."

   Soshyang answered while shooting upwards, suppressing the enemy's firepower.

   With the flashing fire of the storm blaster, several mutilated bodies will fall from time to time on the rock wall

   "Even if they don't know, their master should know."

   Gorge looked out from the edge of the rock and saw the figures in purple armor lined up at their respective predetermined positions, moving forward and shooting in an orderly manner.

  Although they are in unfavorable terrain, the veterans of the Soul Drinker still do not panic, launching perfectly coordinated offensives from a series of tactical positions, advancing in a staggered manner on the battlefield, like chess pieces on a chessboard.

"Judge!"

   Soshyang turned his head ~www.ltnovel.com~ and looked at Marcus who was shot in the shadows.

   "Where is the entrance!"

   "Well, there is a stone there!"

   Looking in the direction Marcus pointed, Soshyang saw a piece of rock with some traces of processing at a glance.

   "Brother, we have to explode that stuff.

"of course."

   Golgrie stood up from behind the bunker.

   "For Don, for the emperor, for freedom!"

   The soldiers around him let out a roar, and then the cover shots from the supporting squad passed over their heads.

   A perfect assault kicked off. Every unit cooperated with each other. The heavy weapon squad attacked the enemy's firepower point. The assault squad moved forward to attack, and the tactical squad found a suitable location to provide fire support.

The defensive turret on the top of the entrance exploded in the flames, and strings of ammunition were thrown into the air. The explosion they produced caused shrapnel to fly horizontally, and the soil was scattered all over the sky.

   Soon, a rocket passed by Soshyang and exploded on the rock at the entrance, leaving a black crater with flames on the surface of the rock. The second missile followed, and the third—

   After a while, the huge rock is full of cracks.
