In fact, he didn't need to say anything. Almost everyone saw the thunder eagle passing by in the sky. Despair was filled with hope in an instant. The gunshots on the defense line suddenly became fierce. The soldiers seemed to have gained new life and endless strength.
Troops in some areas even began to fight back. They broke out of their bunkers and used bayonets and grenades to kill the enemy in fury.
But Yarrick can't leave yet, he must stick to his command post.
But strangely, there are currently no communications from the Space Marines, and no reports of their arrival.
Only a sword passed through the air.
At this moment, the rain gradually stopped. After the flames in the distance were extinguished, with the help of the telescope, he could see as far as the embankment again, and he suddenly felt incomparable awe——
The Thunderhawks strafed the riverbed, turning it into a hell, and the twin heavy bolters and assault guns above continued to bombard it.
The missile flew away from under the wing, causing a huge explosion, and broken bodies were scattered everywhere.
Due to the precision of the explosions, the continuous fire seemed to have a better effect, and the tide of the abomination was no longer advancing along the avenue.
Then, the Thunderhawk dropped the deadly "cargo" in its belly at the front of the avenue.
A whole squadron of Astartes, and a commander.
The Astartes' power armor was the same silver-gray as the outer shell of the spaceship. Although there were only twelve Space Marines, in Yarrick's eyes, those twisted creations suddenly gathered together.
These disgusting things rushed towards the Astartes like crazy, as if they were attracted by the gravity of the black hole.
Yarrick could even feel the massive front line that was forcing his troops retreat shrinking.
Heretics and monsters were forced to destroy an enemy so powerful that it was tearing them to pieces.
Although this was not the first time he saw it, he was still shocked and stunned as the bolter in the Astartes' hand roared and shattered everything around him, as if crushing a piece of dough.
In the eyes of mortals, they have broken away from the category of infantry. They are simply walking chariots. The swords, halberds, and war hammers in their hands can completely destroy the unclean flesh with just one blow.
Seen from a distance, the muzzle of the bolter glows with pure blue light, symbolizing pure destructive power.
What deserves the most attention is the commander of the Astartes. If Yarrick guessed correctly, he should be the Soshyan Chapter Commander.
At this moment, he was wearing a heavy iron cavalry Terminator, which looked so huge. He was not wearing a helmet, and an iron halo hung high on his energy backpack.
Holding a chain saw halberd, he used the storm bolter on his arm to shoot at the densely populated enemy areas, causing a bloody wind. He took steps and waved the halberd, like a traveler trekking in the jungle, slashing at will.
Cut down the thorny bushes that block the way forward.
No enemy could resist his blow, whether they were heretics, monsters, or those unclean creatures that seemed to have substance, they all collapsed in front of him.
Witnessing these great warriors is a privilege and a rare opportunity, but it also comes at a great cost.
Others on the command tower were also stunned. Not everyone had fought side by side with the Astartes, and the entire air fell into silence.
In a very short moment, Yaric felt that the chapter leader suddenly turned his head and looked up towards the avenue.
That kind of gaze came from afar and pierced him, making him feel the firm and pure power.
This is indeed a miracle.
But what Alex didn't know was that they were almost abandoned a few minutes ago.
Earlier, Soshyan had held a discussion with Golgory after receiving reports that a reconnaissance team had discovered the remnants of the Astra Militarum.
The opinion of the Soul Drinkers Chapter Master is.
"They can no longer be saved. Fighting Chaos will produce serious sequelae and corruption. Perhaps it would be a better choice to let them die in battle."
But Soshyan put forward a different view.
"Just because of this, do we want to deprive these warriors of their right to continue fighting?"
"In my opinion, we have no choice."
"I once fought with these soldiers on the battlefield of the Ferron system. They are not excellent, and they may not be the most fearless, but they can basically perform their duties with their lives. One of their political commissars left a lot of impression on me.
Deep impression...The empire needs fierce warriors, but it also needs these unknown soldiers."
Then Soshyan came up with a more important reason.
"And I estimate that the war in this world will not end so easily. We need to make good use of every force. It is not you and me who can decide their fate. There is a judge in this world, and he should make this decision.
."
"But the fleet of the Inquisition will soon come to execute the extermination order. We just need to ensure that no threatening factors can leave this world."
"No, we must find the stolen relic of the Flying Tallan and destroy the source of this corruption."
Soshyan reminded:
"Too many things will be lost in the bombing. The important thing is that those things that should be destroyed may escape. The extermination order may not be able to destroy that threat. You must know that it itself is from a place that has been destroyed.
Discovered in the world.”
Golgory was convinced by Soshyan and formulated a plan for a raid to rescue the surrounded Astra Militarum.
The first step of the plan was for Soshyan to personally go on stage to disrupt the enemy's attack direction. Originally, Gorgli wanted to take on this task because he felt that Soshyan's power was too weak.
But Soshyan's confidence convinced him again.
"We will not fail. Not long ago we fought our way out of a ship full of demons."
As planned, the Astral Knights' initial attack had successfully slowed the heretic's advance.
They prevented subsequent invasions and forced the enemy back to reorganize their attack. The abominations returned to the river bed, and the continuous artillery fire seemed to temporarily trap them in the east.
In this way, the heretic attack group was directly cut into two parts, one part was blocked on the river bed, and the other part was stagnated in the narrow strip from the river bed to the castle.
Although there won't be much time before the next attack, it's enough time for the entrenched Astra Militarum to breathe.
Such a situation was very unfavorable for the attacking heretic army. The enemies staying on the west side of the river bank were in varying degrees of confusion. Some of them continued to storm the castle, while others planned to turn around and attack the star realm on the river bed.
knight.
Just as they were hesitating, a series of explosions exploded among them.
Two Predator tanks rushed out of the thick fog, the fog flowing on their dark purple armor, and the white and gold Holy Grail emblems were draped on both sides of the vehicle body.
Then the Land Raider and Rhino rumbled out, along with two Tornado missile vehicles.
Immediately afterwards, there was a shooting queue of forty people wide. The veterans of the Soul Drinkers opened fire while quickly marching towards the side of the heretic army from the north. The dark purple battle flags sounded in the smoke and strong wind.
