When the Empire's combined forces began to fight the swarming Tyranid army at the salient covering the landing zone, a mammoth evacuation also began. Under the coordination of the militia, the residents of Trifork City dragged their families with them.
People lined up to walk towards the landing area on foot, while those with a little status could take transportation like trucks and carry more personal belongings. Although the official had repeatedly ensured that everyone had food supplies, many
People still choose to bring as much food as possible, and the 30kg luggage standard is difficult to strictly enforce. The speed of the team was much slower than expected from the beginning.
But time is the most precious thing. After opening the landing area, the pressure they faced immediately doubled. The Tyranids seemed to be able to sense that there was a lot of life somewhere. They began to concentrate their efforts to try to break through, and all kinds of giant beasts came one after another.
In the brutal battle, Faith Watch, as a new force, demonstrated combat capabilities and fighting will that exceeded expectations. The powerful belief instillation ability of the National Religion made these recruits who had just picked up guns very fearless of death, and even
Often take the initiative to launch suicide attacks - Faith Watch officers call it a redemption attack. At that time, a soldier will remove all equipment, perform a final prayer of repentance to the priest, and then put on a metal hood that can no longer be taken off.
Put it on, tie the melt bomb to your body, inject a large amount of strengthening stimulants that can greatly enhance the speed and strength in a short period of time, and withstand fatal injuries, and equip the arm with a three-edged hook, as if it were a state religion
Like the whipping servitor, he rushed directly towards the enemy's important target.
The soldiers all volunteered to accept this honorable mission, at least that's what the officers said. Murad didn't really investigate, after all, he didn't care whether he volunteered or not.
But in his heart, he felt that this kind of behavior was really stupid and wasteful. Training a soldier itself was costly, and they did not lack heavy firepower and anti-armor power. This inexplicable special attack not only made the preacher more enthusiastic and fanatical, it seemed that
It really doesn't make any sense. Maybe it's because the officers think this is a good way to boost morale?
It can only be said that the state religion's armed forces are indeed very different from the Astra Militarum in terms of thinking. They place great emphasis on "spiritual attack".
It is said that the Ecclesiastical Army during the Vandil period once had a strange behavior of having a thousand soldiers commit suicide in front of the enemy before a war. History books record that it frightened the enemy and won the victory, but Murad expressed doubts about this.
.
When the defense line stabilized, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Tyron did not only have the option of a frontal attack.
Soon, a screaming hurricane descended on the landing site, and the insect swarm blocked the light, as if a storm composed of claws and wings disturbed the crowd. The orderly team immediately began to chaos, and everyone desperately rushed to the transport plane.
The militiamen who maintained the crowds and beat them with sticks could not prevent the breakdown of order.
The transport ship and the surrounding Hydra anti-aircraft guns and Basilisk anti-aircraft vehicles also immediately aimed at the flying insect swarms, pouring out the few remaining ammunition, filling the sky with broken metal and exploded corpses.
, the air force that received the support order also roared in, using a firestorm filled with various physical ammunition to disperse the dense group of Tyranid gargoyles. The missile trails and bursting laser beams seemed to be hunting some kind of animal.
Kill them in piles.
The winged terror turned into crumbs in the explosion, and then scattered in all directions, like a weird fireworks celebration.
This scene even caused excited cheers from the people on the ground waiting to be evacuated. Of course, some people were worried about being hit by falling debris or alien blood, so they raised their hands as a shield.
But just as everyone's attention was focused on the sky, unexpected threats began to spread from beneath their feet.
"Why was there an earthquake?"
At first, there was only the slightest vibration, but as the amplitude of the vibration became larger and larger, everyone felt the movement from the ground, which was so strong that it was even difficult to stand.
But when the vibration reached its highest point, several behemoths broke through the soil less than 500 meters away from the landing cabin, emerged from the ground with electric arcs, and let out terrifying roars, which triggered more screams in the crowd.
Call.
"What is that!"
"Emperor!"
"Those in front move quickly!"
"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! Ouch——"
When the python emerged from the ground, the order of the crowd completely collapsed. Even the militiamen joined in the crowding and stampeding. Shouts, screams and screams intertwined into a song of despair.
"Citizens! Stop!"
The Space Marines had already been warned when the earthquake occurred. Although their attention was initially attracted by the Tyranid air raid, Bahram quickly realized that this was a "feint attack" and rushed back from the front as soon as possible.
Arriving at the landing bay, some soldiers from Bahram's 10th and 7th companies used motorcycles and speed attack boats to quickly reach the area. At the same time, the surrounding vigilant troops immediately returned for reinforcements.
However, the main task of the soldiers of Faith Watch is to restore order, and the method is-
Ta-ta-ta!
Amidst the roar of machine guns, blood and pieces of flesh bloomed on the bodies of the residents, and they fell like wheat blown down by the wind. The preacher carrying a torch also used an anti-gravity platform to reach above everyone's heads.
"Those who are afraid of death will definitely die! Anyone who moves, runs, or screams will be executed! All will be executed!"
"Get back in line! Get back in line! Shut your mouth!"
The admonisher armed with an iron whip of thorns whipped the crowd hard. As long as this whip hit a person without armor, he would immediately leave a deep blood mark and even tear off a piece of skin.
Under such violence, the crowd wailed, cursed and complained.
"Why are you beating people randomly!"
"Oh! We didn't make a mistake again!"
"You know how to show off your power to us, why don't you fight the aliens!"
Some of the curses were caught by the preacher, who immediately narrowed his eyes and then pressed a black button on the podium.
Amidst the stern scolding, the executioner, holding a huge beheading knife, with abnormally swollen upper body muscles, various pipelines and medicine bottles inserted into his back, and wearing a sharp triangle helmet, silently came to the side of the chaotic crowd and said without explanation.
A bunch of people were pulled out, the knife was raised and the heads were rolling.
Anyone who shouts or moves may become the target of the executioner's hand servant, whether he is a man or a woman, old or young.
The reason why the state religion can take root completely in the people of the empire is not only because of its doctrine, but also its analysis of the social classes of the empire and the appropriate methods.
The severed heads were picked up with spears. The executioners wearing pointed hats pulled up red strings to separate the crowd like herding sheep. The preachers holding torches and warhammers also brought long knives to fight.
The executioner's servant, dripping with blood, walked sullenly through the crowd, and randomly picked out a few unlucky ones. Regardless of whether they made any mistakes, they would just cut them down, causing blood to splatter on the spot.
If anyone dares to escape or resist, then chop off the limbs and hang the screaming body up for public display.
