As the leader, Applewhite knew that he could not give his subordinates the impression of a coward, so he could only bravely stand on one side of the gate at a relatively safe distance.
However, he was slightly confused by the excessive blood on these Khorne Berserkers.
Perhaps hearing his voice, one of them turned his head, with a pair of playful eyes on his face covered with tattoos.
"Suffer-"
Applewhite's heart thumped, and she subconsciously wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
A cold, armor-covered hand held his head.
"Sir, my lord——"
"You are the boss here, right."
For some reason, Applewhite felt that the speech of the Khorne Berserker in front of him was particularly clear, so clear that it frightened him.
"Yes, yes, we are-"
"Then do you know who we are?"
Applewhite was stunned for a moment. Suddenly he noticed that the Chaos Space Marine in front of him only had the smell of blood, but did not have the lingering aura of madness on most Khorne Berserkers. And at such a close distance, he paid attention
Under the human skin that was torn off the opponent's chest, the dazzling outline of the Sky Eagle emblem——
"Blood sacrifice——"
A smile appeared on Hao Mo's face, and he strangled the other person's face with his hands to prevent him from screaming.
"Emperor!"
The moment Applewhite's head was crushed, the surrounding cultists were stunned. No one expected that things would develop like this.
At this time, Robin and Oscar suddenly took off the explosive rifles on their thighs and started firing at nearby enemies. The explosive bombs made craters in the concrete walls, and the enemy troops staying in the open space were blown apart.
One of the rounds also hit a shell in the ammunition box, and exploded into a yellow fireball along with the fire point, filling the surrounding hundreds of meters with deadly shrapnel.
"charge!"
The chaos at the entrance to the fortress seemed to be a signal. Armin emerged from the bunker with the rest of the recruits and began to charge towards the fortress through no man's land, shooting as he went.
Their fire reinforced the barrage and drove the stunned rebels behind cover.
The turrets on the parapet quickly turned to take aim at the sudden threat.
The fortress defensive walls had sufficient height and firing points, unfortunately the fortifications were designed to face mainly outwards.
"Homa, grenade!"
Hearing Robin's voice, Haoma immediately took out two plasma grenades from his armed belt, activated the fuses, and threw them into the first layer of defense wall.
Oscar had already rushed to the city wall and fired fiercely.
With two low explosions and a burst of painful shouts and screams, the aiming turret went out, and Hao Mo came to the parapet.
Then he turned the corner, fired a shot, and let out a fierce war cry at the frightened rebels.
"Death to heretics!"
There was a scene of carnage on the city walls, with dead and injured cultists slumped at the bottom of narrow trench-like passages, blown to pieces by grenades and bombs.
The survivors retreated down the wall, stumbling over the bodies of their comrades and firing wildly.
Haoma continued to move forward, firing methodically, hitting an enemy soldier with each shot.
The wall extended 15 meters to the west and then sloped sharply to the northeast. At the corner, Hao Mo stopped and threw a grenade.
A few meters behind him, he heard the screams of molten and knew that the team had reached the entrance.
At the turn, the city wall extends straight forward for more than 40 meters. Standing here, you can overlook the killing of the tenth company that is advancing. The protective wall here has been torn, and there are far more dead heretics than those who are still defending.
Living in the trenches.
Facing the Astartes' attack, the cultists retreated a bit, but they held their ground and did not give up on the next slope.
They fired their lasguns at the advancing Astartes, but the lasers were aimed at humans in light armor, not walking idols.
Hao Mo pushed forward tenaciously into the whirlwind of fire, shooting one shot after another, and the warning icons on his helmet display kept flashing.
Then, he gathered strength and sprinted ten meters until he entered a close combat.
The massacre really began.
The chainswords roared down, shattering helmets and bones, and there was no place to run in the tight space, no place to escape or allow to get around.
The cultists were forced to stand up and face the Emperor's wrath, and the Angels of Death slaughtered them mercilessly.
When their morale finally broke and they turned around and ran down the remainder of the wall, Hauma had been stomping on the charred and broken corpses for a full ten minutes.
The large army quickly captured the entrance and all the fortifications. The remaining heretics had no way to advance or retreat and could only defend a private house.
But the Angel of Death was merciless, and Hauma took the lead again, firing relentlessly with his pistol until he could get close enough to swing his deadly chainsword.
Once, a cultist attacked him with a bayonet-equipped laser gun. Haomo knocked the man to the ground with a backhand sweep, and then crushed the man's entire upper body.
Victory is at hand.
They threw the last grenade to the third floor of a civilian house and rushed forward to reach the rebels' final position.
"The southern entrance has been confirmed."
After briefly searching the battlefield, Armin contacted the defenders of the fortress.
"How are you doing?"
"With the blessing of the Emperor, the enemy has been repulsed. We are safe. Most of the fortress is safe. We are clearing away the remaining heretics."
"Have you encountered any Chaos Space Marines?"
"Uh... not today."
Suddenly, Robin looked at the oriole and then reported:
"Company commander, there are about six people walking this way."
"receive."
Armin turned off the communicator, then pointed at the two recruits, and then pointed at the private house that had just been captured.
"Deploy heavy explosive bombs at high altitudes."
"yes!"
"Everyone, prepare to fight! Find cover!"
After confirming that the door was closed, Armin stood at the street entrance, staring intently at the shadows of the silent buildings around him.
He basically knew where those six people were supposed to be, but despite his best efforts, he couldn't find them.
"They must be around the corner of one of the buildings, they probably don't know we're here."
Suddenly, Robin on the side reminded:
"The target is moving. They are 30 meters north-east and are coming towards us."
All the soldiers aimed in that direction, holding their weapons tightly.
Soon, the first person to spot them was a new recruit using a sniper rifle.
"There they are!"
He pointed to a narrow alley on the left.
Six figures spilled out of the alley, spread out in a semicircle, and headed straight towards the tenth company of the Astral Knights.
When they emerged from the shadows between the buildings, Armin could see that they were huge individuals, each one huge and strong, with black armor covering their bodies full of mutation and desecration. Even at this distance,
He could also clearly see the symbols representing chaos on their bodies.
"Kill these heretics!"
The new recruits opened fire, and the six Black Legion soldiers trapped in the fortress launched a fatal charge without saying a word.
Explosive bombs, lasers, and plasma washed the air around them like raindrops.
One fell, with a large hole burned in his abdomen by plasma, followed by the second, his helmet pierced by a heavy explosive round.
But they were already close enough.
Then, they were greeted by two deadly power swords.
"court death!"
Seeing Robin rushing forward with two swords in hand, the heretic holding his chain ax high roared.
The next second, his ax fell into the air, and then his head fell from his thick neck.
Killing one person with a single movement, Robin continued to move forward, crossed his swords and jammed the opponent's chain sword, then turned downwards with force to throw the opponent's weapon away, and then used both swords to kill the opponent's two swords in three seconds.
The arms and head were chopped off.
Then Armin also cut one person in half with his sword, and Oscar and Robin dismembered the last one into five pieces.
