Chapter 1723 The bloody battle on Hacksaw Mountain (5)
"Get out of here! Quick!"
Realizing that the protective wall was about to collapse, Creed immediately shouted to his comrades around him, and everyone began to flee quickly. When Creed saw the communications soldiers struggling to carry heavy communications equipment, he immediately went to help.
"Go! Go quickly!"
Several signalmen began to move, and Creed followed them, but suddenly he felt his feet sinking.
"Captain!"
Then his whole world turned upside down. When he stopped shaking, he turned around and looked around and found that he was on a collapsing slope instead of falling vertically.
"I'm fine!"
When he just raised his head to greet the people above him, he suddenly smelled a strong stench and the smell of blood, accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps.
Creed quickly stood up and discovered that something was emerging from the ground where the parapet collapsed. It turned out that it had "arched" over the parapet!
"Oh, God Emperor!"
Creed swallowed his throat and looked at the terrifying existence on the battlefield - the opponent was four meters tall, without a head, and the whole body had no complete outline. It seemed like a large amount of flesh and blood was randomly pieced together, and the flesh was red.
Muscles can be clearly seen in the skin, the legs are extremely thick and have hooves at the end, and the ends of the three thick arms are messy and twisted. In contrast, there is the one hidden among the messy fangs, big mouth and bone horns.
Each one has a single eye, soaked with hatred for life.
Corresponding to the ferocious beast, the filthy mist dissipated and retreated in front of this terrifying existence, as if it was also afraid of its existence, or perhaps this ferocious beast could drive them away so that it could hunt easily.
Once this thought came up, Creed felt a little uneasy.
He had never seen this thing before, and he didn't know it was called a chaos egg, but he instinctively felt that it was extremely dangerous.
"Death monster!!"
Several nearby Cadian soldiers were eager to protect Creed and immediately shot at the monster, but it did not cause any effective damage. Instead, it angered it, and then it ran at a speed that was inconsistent with its size.
Those soldiers did not expect the opponent to be so quick. When they reacted, the monster had already swooped forward. The carapace was like old and brittle parchment in front of it. A Cadian soldier was directly impaled on the murderer's bone horns and was dying.
Trembling, the other one had his head cut off directly and was swallowed alive into the belly of this strange creature. The other two were cut in half in an instant. Before the God Emperor took them back to the throne, they could only wither and die here.
Amidst the bloodstains.
And the chaos egg roared with joy as if it was victorious.
"Grenade! Kill it with an explosion!"
Under Creed's command, more than a dozen grenades exploded near the Chaos Egg. A normal creature would die or be seriously injured due to being within the explosion radius, but it was far from enough for this subspace monster. The explosion
Licking the hard surface of the Chaos Egg's crusted, almost chitinous skin, it burned part of its limbs, but more weird ones immediately grew out. It didn't even feel pain, as the remains of the soldiers were scattered on the ground.
On the ground, it even blinked slowly.
In its blurred vision stained red by blood, it saw a mortal rushing towards it, holding a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other.
"Death! Beast!"
Creed swung and slashed at the Chaos Egg's eye, but the opponent blocked the blow with a pincer arm.
As the blade made contact with foul skin, large scabs flew off the Chaos Spawn's twisted arms, and the sword was deflected back without causing any serious damage.
Then the Chaos Egg frantically rushed forward with another claw, trying to pierce the little thing's chest.
Creed staggered back, dodged the blow, and then pushed forward again with his sword without hesitation.
A flurry of swift thrusts and slashes hit the Chaos Egg. The Cadian officer used standard Cadian field swordsmanship to attack while moving back and forth, weaving a dance of death around the Chaos Egg, constantly striking and stabbing the opponent with his sword.
, and hid after each attack, while the soldiers were shooting at the back of the Chaos Egg with laser guns.
The high degree of mutation protected the Chaos Spawn from much harm, but the constant harassment still slowed its movements, and when the Cadians attacked, it became increasingly angry and frustrated.
Therefore, the behavior of this twisted creation became more and more violent, but every time it tried to catch or hit the little thing, the opponent would quickly pull away.
The incompetent and furious Chaos Egg let out a frightening roar, but instead of being afraid, Creed took the opportunity to stab a weak spot on its chest, cutting open a piece of rotten red skin.
Roar--
Stimulated again, the Chaos Egg swung its body wildly, and all the attacks were directed towards the opponent. Creed felt the danger and tried to retreat.
Suddenly something grabbed his heel, and when he lowered his head, he saw a mutant with no lower body. It seemed to be trying to pull up a back when it was about to die.
The Chaos Egg had already pounced on him, and Creed knew there was no way out. After breaking the neck of the mutant on the ground with one kick, he thrust out his sword with all his strength, stabbing deeply into the same target and twisting it.
The stench from the Warp assaulted his face, and Creed's thrusts could not kill such a monster. The Chaos Spawn tried to grab him and crush the man's skull with its tentacles.
However, the next second, its limbs flew up, and then a giant sword with lightning broke out of its body, stopped a palm away from Creed's nose, and then swiped upwards, slashing
The creature split into two.
Creed staggered back a few steps, then sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
A giant holding a power sword towered in front of him, his armor covered in bloodstains and some cracks, and then stretched out his hand towards him.
"Well done, officer, you prevented a Chaos Spawn from causing more trouble."
Hearing the other person's thunderous voice, Creed, who felt as if he was living in another world, nodded slightly, grabbed the other person's hand and stood up.
"Thank you very much, my lord."
Two hours after the battle began, all Chaos Space Marines on the battlefield had been wiped out. The Krieg soldiers had rushed into the main fort to clean up the last remaining enemies, and the supporting warriors of the Sky Lion Chapter also gathered near the Thunder Eagle.
"...We will take the corpses of these traitors back to identify them, and at the same time we will confirm the killings to ensure that your achievements are not mistaken. You will burn the corpses of other heretics."
Aiken Dubaku summoned the commanders of the two Astral Legions and began to convey the latest instructions.
"Have the battle losses been calculated?"
"The statistics have been basically calculated, sir."
Aiken Dubaku took it and frowned.
"The 861st Krieg regiment actually lost 2,100 people, with a total casualty of more than 3,500 people? The 8th Qadian regiment also lost 1,026 people, with 1,613 casualties... At the same time, about 15,000 rebels and 32 heretics were eliminated.
Space Marines, and a Chaos Spawn."
After thinking for a moment, Aiken Dubaku said to the Krieger officers:
"Since the current casualties of the Krieger 861 Regiment have exceeded one-third of the total number, you will go to the orbital assembly point to rest after cleaning up the battlefield."
After saying that, he looked at Creed again.
"The 8th Qadian Regiment is temporarily stationed here, waiting for the next order."
The officers from both sides saluted the Space Marines at the same time and responded in unison:
