The shrill screams made Hayes' hair stand on end and made him even more anxious. He, the stick insect and the big-eared monster quickly pushed the soil into the trench with their hands to try to extinguish the flames. Cabri even jumped into the trench where the flames were not completely extinguished, regardless of the high temperature.
Go to the trench and take out Brother Yutou, who is already charred all over.
At this time, his miserable condition is hard to describe in words. The skin on his entire face has almost melted, his lips and eyelids are gone, one eye has melted into jelly, the other is congested and swollen, and his teeth are exposed to the air.
, the whole person looks like an ugly strange fish.
Hayes immediately fumbled for the kettle and tried to unscrew the cap, but Hashet stopped him.
"Clean the wound first."
Hess nodded in panic, and quickly followed suit. But as soon as he tried to peel off Fitz's charred armor, his fingers were burned with several blisters, and as the armor peeled off, large areas of skin and tissue were also burned.
Peel off, revealing the deep red body.
"water……"
Fitz groaned, blood dripping from his slightly deformed mouth, with foam, and his broken teeth were like scarlet dead wood.
"Here! Here! Brother Yutou, you'll be fine. We'll call the emergency services right away!"
The big-eared monster Pique responded with a cry, while quickly unscrewing the bottle cap and dripping the last bit of water into the other person's lipless mouth. Fitz shivered, and the pain visible to the naked eye engulfed his broken body.
"My Skyhawk..."
Fitz struggled to fumble with his hands, and then Hayes realized something and quickly thrust the copper eagle pendant that had burned off the rope but was almost branded on his chest into Fitz's hand.
Holding the pendant, although this caused two of his excessively burnt fingers to break, Fitz still breathed a sigh of relief.
"I-I thought...I thought I could get over it...those voices-the God-Emperor protected me-I...I thought I could but sometimes...well...sometimes I can..."
Fitz's words were vague and incoherent, and Hashet had stopped moving and shook his head.
Tears fell from Hayes' eyes and fell on the stinking black bodies of his comrades. Fitz looked strange, and many people despised him as a mutant, but he had a sincere and kind heart, even though he
He has been subjected to such verbal and behavioral torture since he was a child, but in the end he would always smile and push the people around him with his shoulders.
Fitz joined the army voluntarily. Hayes clearly remembered that Fitz's family lived on the edge of the huge sewage lake in the Bottom Nest, and had made a living hunting mutated underwater creatures for generations, perhaps because of a curse or other blasphemy.
Due to the reasons, the members of their family began to gradually develop physical mutations, which became more and more serious, so that they had to wear wet and tattered cloaks when they went out. The neighbors claimed that they were mutants and evil creatures abandoned by the God-Emperor.
Even the catch they worked so hard to catch was sold at a lower price than others so that no one would buy it.
After hearing the priest say that joining the expeditionary force could atone for his sins and purify his physical and spiritual sins, Fitz sneaked out and went to the recruiting team, and even paid a small bribe to enlist.
He just hopes that through his service, he can truly lift the curse that has enveloped his loved ones.
But Hashet also scoffed at this. He said that this was just because their family was too close to the polluted water, and the mutations caused by the accumulation of various filth over time had nothing to do with sin.
Fitz always believed that he would be saved by the God-Emperor, and so would his family.
"God Emperor, I have made you satisfied."
With the last gasp and Peak's howling cry, the light in Fitz's only remaining eye disappeared, and the pendant fell from his hand, stained with blood. Hayes picked it up, his eyes flashing.
With tears.
Such a simple thing, such a small prayer.
At this time, the battle on the high ground also ended with another victory for the Empire. They drove the heretics off the high ground. One of the only two remaining Chaos Space Marines was taken away by a plasma cannon during their escape. The remaining one led the lackeys.
He fled in confusion and tried to return to the starting position to rest and fight again.
However, a bright light from the sky ended their dream.
Everyone first saw the bright yellow beam of light piercing the sky and falling, followed by the roar of thousands of thunderbolts. Even if they were dozens of miles apart, it was still deafening. Some people's eardrums were even shattered, and then they felt it on their skin.
A small impact, then expanded, and finally turned into a continuous strong wind mixed with hot dust.
All this actually lasted only a few seconds, but it gave many soldiers a lifetime shock. It was the first time for them to observe orbital bombing at close range.
The scene seemed like a stone falling into the soot. The stretching mountains first expanded briefly, and then burst out. A huge mushroom cloud wrapped in thick dust erupted like broken spores in all directions, followed by strong vibrations on the ground.
In an instant, the fortress established by the enemy was wiped out, and the red pirate army that witnessed this scene collapsed and quickly disappeared into the dust.
The regimental flag of Abu Bakari's 310th Infantry Regiment was re-erected on Hill 411, and the base of the flag was several Chaos Space Marines who were killed. Arni stood on the corpses holding the flagpole, holding the command sword high, in the strong wind
With a cry of victory, the two attendants took photos frantically. These photos will be sent to the rear and become another part of Arni's heroic deeds.
In distant Sagan, he has become a frequent visitor to the military propaganda department, and gradually gained popularity because he has established a persona of always being at the forefront, and even got the nickname "The Dragon of Sagan", although he is still just
A colonel.
After taking the photo, Arni still performed his duties as a regiment leader, counting casualties, counting equipment, reporting to his superiors, and re-ordering to strengthen the defenses. Just because the enemy's fortress was destroyed does not mean that the enemy's artillery threat does not exist. Now they are
At the forefront, new enemies may attack at any time.
At the same time, while listening to the battle report, Arni also noticed the company commander named Ouranios. It was his heroic behavior that saved the situation that almost collapsed.
Such a person is worthy of promotion. Although the reputation of this company commander in the regiment is not very good, saying that he is very superstitious and talkative, and some people even think that he has a mental problem, but Arni remembers Macariu
There is a saying in the biography - there is never any conflict between quirks and talents.
So he called Eulanius and made his decision.
"The first battalion commander is dead, you should be the one."
But this man, who was unkempt and with only his eyes and teeth visible on his dirty face, just replied coyly.
"I just want to lead my troops."
"Your soldiers? Your company?"
"ah."
"Then you will be the second battalion commander, and the second battalion commander will be changed to the first battalion commander. That's the decision."
But while the two were talking, the instructions and battle reports coming from above made Arni shut his mouth and frown.
