Hearing that the Flesh Tearers were looking for the person in charge, Hayes quickly ran over and saluted.
"Commander of the Third Company of the Second Battalion of the 73rd Regiment of the 13th Division of Kermanshah, Hayes Bathory, salute your Excellency!"
The other party lowered his head and stared at Hayes with scarlet eyepieces. After a moment, he said in a deep voice:
"Well done, this trouble was stopped in time."
Then he pointed to the executioner's body.
"Use several vehicles to drag this thing to the gap and use it to push it up for a while."
"yes!"
Hayes immediately used the Chimera from the Communicator Guard Company to pull him over and "drag the corpse". At this time, the Space Marine said again:
"You guys pack up and prepare to evacuate the position."
Hayes was stunned for a moment and asked instinctively:
"What..."
"Withdraw if I ask you to."
The Space Marine's voice had begun to sound irritated. Perhaps it was torture for him to say another word to a mortal, but he still added a few seconds later.
"The forward positions have to be abandoned. We are short of troops and ammunition and must shrink."
After saying that, the flesh tearer turned around and walked towards the militia leader step by step.
"God...Lord Angel..."
Flesh-tearers have a notorious reputation, especially among the militia. Naturally, the leader's legs were shaking with fear, but what he said next almost made him sit on the ground.
"Cowardice, dereliction of duty, desertion, you and your people are cowards and pigs."
The deep voice of the Space Marine sounded like the death-calling voice to those around him.
"You will be stripped of all weapons, armed with explosives and grenades, and serve the throne loyally in exchange for redemption."
Suicide assault, this word pops up in everyone's mind. This is also the most common punishment for cowardice by Space Marines, but it is rarely on the scale of the entire regiment.
The militia leader immediately knelt on the ground, held his hands in his hands, and cried bitterly:
"Lord Angel! We have tried our best! We will definitely make up for our mistakes in the future. Please be merciful and forgive us this time!"
When the militia leader begged for mercy, some militiamen saw that the situation was not good and quietly tried to escape. As a result, screams were heard along with low roars and the roar of jetpacks.
"Look, look at these cowards, you are just wasting precious oxygen by living."
The escape of a few people intensified the anger of the Flesh Tearer veteran. He looked at the corpses lying on the ground with their spines broken and trampled softly by his soldiers. He gripped the chain saw and ax tightly and hung it over the horrified militia leader.
On the head.
"Don't challenge my patience again..."
"grown ups!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind the veteran Flesh Tearer, but he did not look back, he just said one sentence.
"What's up."
"The 346th Militia Regiment has done everything they can! I have witnessed with my own eyes that they are by no means cowards! Their only weapons are unable to fight against the super-heavy Tyranid units. This is inevitable, but even so they are still on the ground
I held on for three minutes until I arrived with reinforcements!"
The Flesh Tearer turned around silently, but he still held his weapon tightly, and when he spoke he spoke in an irritated guttural tone.
"Are you defending them...?"
Hayes stood upright with his head slightly raised. In fact, he was a little scared before he spoke, but at this time, his heart felt empty. All he could think about was to live up to his own conscience.
"yes!"
His voice was loud and sonorous, even attracting the attention of other flesh-tearers.
"So, you mean, I wronged them?"
This was already a very dangerous inquiry. Hayes even heard the creaking sound of the metal handle of the chain ax clenched in his gauntlet. He knew that he was just a small officer. Even if the opponent chopped him up with an ax now, the battle group would probably be killed.
It's hard to say anything, but the Astartes naturally hold the power of life and death for mortals. Any behavior they regard as an insult can kill any mortal without hesitation.
Even the people brought by Hayes looked at him nervously, fearing that their commander had said the wrong thing.
"You just came in a hurry and didn't see their previous battles!"
"I just need to see the results! Soldier! Your overflowing sympathy is also a kind of weakness! Return to your army! Otherwise, I don't mind temporarily promoting a company commander, and the battle brotherhood of the Astral Knights will recognize it!"
"Sir! This is not an overflow of sympathy! I can't hide what I saw and heard! They are very brave and use simple weapons to fight against the most ferocious alien enemies. If they are consumed like this, we will lose a large number of capable people.
Experienced warrior, the battle is not over yet, this is inappropriate, sir! I am willing to guarantee it with my life!"
"ensure?"
A dry laugh came from under the helmet, but there was no smile at all. To Hayes, it sounded more like the roar of a man-eating beast.
"What can you guarantee as a company commander? What is the value of your life?"
"For we will all return to the throne, and all judgment will be fair."
Hayes fearlessly faced the scarlet eyepiece and the stern gaze behind the eyepiece. There was silence all around. Many people were shocked by Hayes' actions. After all, it was unthinkable to publicly refute an angel.
After a while, the flesh-tearer nodded.
"Okay, then let the throne witness everything in the end."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the Thunder Eagle that had landed, and the other Flesh Tearers followed. Just as they came so suddenly, the Space Marines left very suddenly.
When the Thunder Eagle took off, Hayes let out a deep breath and almost fell over. His back was completely wet with sweat and his face was covered with sweat.
"Chief Hayes, no! Brother Hayes!"
Militia leader Parlu quickly came over to support Hayes, then took out a handkerchief and helped him wipe his face.
"Thank you, thank you very much for this time. All of us will remember your great kindness for the rest of our lives!"
At this moment, a sharp roar suddenly sounded in the sky, and then a formation of dozens of Marauders rushed towards the battlefield from low altitude and dropped a series of aerial bombs. Then in the roar, blazing flames rose up and turned into a wall of fire.
Seeing this, Hayes realized that the Space Marine was right, and pushed him away.
"Hurry up and gather your people. We are about to evacuate. Now we have begun to set up a blocking line. Maybe the shelling will cover this area soon!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Seeing the other party hurriedly calling for someone, Hayes quickly extended his hand to say hello.
"I'll call a few trucks to come. You gather the people first and give priority to guns and ammunition. If you can't bring other weapons, don't bring them!"
Soon Hayes also returned to the troops and began to arrange the evacuation. Due to the continuous air strikes and the large number of incendiary bombs thrown, the Tyran offensive came to a standstill, but Hayes knew that this time would not be too long. The window period for their evacuation was up to twenty years.
minute.
Fortunately, the company had enough vehicles, and there were also two engineering sentries specially used for transportation, loading and unloading. Weapons, equipment and ammunition were quickly packed into trucks and armored vehicles. When arranging the company's evacuation, Hayes packed the remaining vehicles
The militia regiment assigned to cover the two wings. Although the soldiers in the company complained a lot about the overcrowded cabin, Hayes believed that if you squeezed in, you would not lose a piece of meat, and the free car could save two more people.
