As the double hatches of the Night Crow Black Star gunship opened, the Space Wolf holding a battle ax jumped out first, followed by Nurus holding a power sword. Everyone was wearing a helmet, and outsiders could only judge according to their respective armor, weapons and
Logo recognition.
As soon as the six Death Watch landed on the ground, they immediately attacked the Tyranids who rushed into the gap in the protective wall. Nulus took the lead. After knocking away a jumping knife insect, he slashed left and right, easily killing the small creatures around him, and then
A samurai bug stopped in front of him. The Death Watch rushed over silently. The alien roared in response and jumped over. The two bone blades were swung like the wind, but they were all blocked by the power sword.
When the bone blade was held horizontally by the power sword after another collision, the warrior bug immediately roared, but Nulus just used his other hand to pull out the bolt pistol from his waist and fired two shots at the opponent's waist.
, when the Tyranid warrior bowed his head after being injured, he pierced the opponent's side with a sword. The force was so strong that it almost lifted the opponent. Then he grabbed the warrior insect's neck and tore off the head forcefully.
"Captain Bahram, following the instructions of Chapter Commander Soshyan, we are here to cover the 10th Company."
While speaking to Bahram, Nulus glanced at the fragments of limbs and broken arms around him, which were probably as many as seven or eight warrior bugs, and then glanced at the Screaming Killer who was lying face down outside the gap.
.
Bahram had known in advance that there would be support troops, but he did not expect it to be the Death Watch. However, he did not show his surprise and just nodded.
"Thank you. Uh, what's your name?"
"Nurus."
"Ah, thank you for your support, Brother Nulus."
The conversation between the two was quickly interrupted. They looked away and saw a towering figure coming through the mist.
It is covered in a thick sticky chitin shell, with liquid flames constantly dripping from the purple yellow spots. While emitting a strong sulfurous stench, it also projects a threatening halo outward, as if it were a moving volcano.
And its four thick arms hold four huge bone blades that are enough to split an overweight tank. The beating psychic arcs can be seen on the sharp blades. On its head with a golden horn, two emotionless eyes stare.
Looking at the two Space Marines behind the gap, their long tails with hooks slowly swung behind them.
It is the Hive Tyrant that has "died" once. As long as this creature does not completely destroy the Hive Fleet, it can be resurrected again and again in the mothership, and it can also store the knowledge, personality and experience previously stored in the Gestalt.
Copied into a new body, almost every hive tyrant is a nearly immortal existence. No matter how many times the body is killed, it will always return to continue to devour its prey.
It has not shown up before because it is afraid of the existence that once killed it. Now even the hive consciousness has no good countermeasures against individuals with such combat power, so it tries its best to prevent high-value nodes like Tyrant from appearing in the opponent's attacks.
However, after the fierce attack continued for nearly a month and the appearance of the super individual was not detected, the hive consciousness judged that the opponent was either absent or unable to fight for some reason, and then sent the Tyrant to the front line to command the attack.
Attack operations at various strongholds.
The Poisonous Smoke Bug's steady advance tactics came from the Tyrant's handiwork. This was the best judgment made after considering the limits of human firepower.
Now it appears to push away the last peripheral stronghold. At this time, it is surrounded by twelve tyrant guards. Each of these two-legged and four-armed creatures covered with extremely thick armor is stronger than a Riemann.
Russ is bigger and moves more like some kind of large ape. It likes to walk on all fours with its strong forelimbs. At the same time, it is very rare that they do not have eyes, or they do not need eyes, because they are just "extensions" of the Tyrant's body.
, the Hive Tyrant will control the guards through synapses, giving them the direction they need to move, reminding them of nearby threats, and arranging them to maximize their resistance to enemy attacks. On the other hand, the eyes will become the weak point of the enemy's attacks, becoming the focus of the flawless armor.
A gap in them caused them to perform their duties incorrectly.
The only value of their birth is to protect the Hive Tyrant.
However, these guards made corresponding changes to the battlefield. The two crushing pincers were replaced by one, and the other melee weapon was replaced by a stun cannon. The bone spurs fired by this weapon are attached with bioelectric shocks.
The tendrils can not only destroy organisms, but also paralyze mechanical creations.
The tyrant did not launch a direct attack, but instead let out a roar that made the earth tremble, and then a large number of Tyranid creatures rushed out of the poisonous mist.
"A tyrant, if we could behead him..."
Nulus stared at the tyrant, seeming to think about how to destroy it.
"Perhaps these Tyranids can be dismantled."
But Bahram didn't think so and just shook his head.
"We don't have so many troops now, and it is very cautious to stay in the guard. If it charges hard, the casualties will be huge. The chapter leader has explained that the mission is just to delay, not to fight."
Then Bahram turned on the communicator and said only one sentence.
"Stronghold No. 7, Broken Sword."
Then he turned and looked at Nulus.
"We now need to move our defense back and abandon this wall."
Nulus didn't say anything. After all, it was up to the guest to do as he pleased. This was a battle directed by others, so he nodded and told the other five people to start retreating.
Soon, a Voss Strike Lightning fighter jet roared over. Regardless of the gargoyles and sky witches, it fired several missiles directly at the wall that was about to be overcome by the Tyranids.
boom--
After the not-so-violent explosion, the dying screams of the Tyranid creatures rang out. Nulus looked at the green living fire that filled the air and whispered:
"Phosphate weapons..."
"We haven't seen this kind of weapon for a long time."
One of the members of the Kill Team said that the symbol on his shoulder indicated that he was from the Birds of Prey Chapter.
"I've only seen it once, and it was dropped by the Adeptus Mechanicus during the war against the greenskins in Nuka Senwei."
The rolling phosphorus fire caused the metal protective wall to melt like ice cream on fire. Along with it, a large group of nearby Tyranid creatures, ranging from tearing bugs to executioners, could only be turned into ashes in the flames.
The quality carapace's defense against phosphorus fire is not strong.
"It is said that some of these weapons are also stored in the Watch Fortress, but the quantity is very small. Have you noticed that the Astral Knight's weapons arsenal is a bit unusual?"
The words of the warrior with the emblem of the Avenging Angels Chapter engraved on his shoulder aroused different attitudes among the other five people.
"Of course it's not normal. This is the Tenth Company. Guess what I saw? Their recruits are equipped with various plasma weapons, melt weapons, and power weapons. Hey, Wolffang is not that rich."
