Artemis took the exclusive bolt rifle handed to her by the mechanical arm, turned and walked towards the equipment room, followed closely by the servants of the god and the Gray Knights.
Leave the equipment room and come to the airborne preparation cabin.
There are several rows of slide rails here, and a large mechanical arm in front of each slide rail has a drop pod that can accommodate six Astartes.
Then the Servants of God and the Gray Knights entered the airdrop pod one after another, and Artemis also boarded a drop pod with the five Gray Knights.
Enter and stand, the warehouse door is closed.
Dark red lights lit up in the warehouse, and Artemis' power armor presented a small holographic screen in front of her right eye, providing her with additional vision and intelligence assistance.
Immediately afterwards, she and the five Gray Knights turned on the magnetic adsorption on the soles of their boots, and the fixing frame under the airborne pod pressed against their shoulder armor to help them fix their postures.
Outside the warehouse.
The lights in the airborne preparation cabin became dim, yellow warning lights flashed all around, and the large robotic arm clamped the airborne cabin and moved it to the slide rail.
The gate under the slide rail is unfolded, and through the translucent film-like air valve barrier, one can intuitively see the fault space outside the Full Moon ship.
The scene in the fault space lasted for a few seconds, and then instantly switched to the appearance of the regular universe and Arcadia in the deep space of the universe.
Outside the ship.
The Yuan Yue, which had completed its jump voyage, quickly approached the northern hemisphere at dawn.
Then the airborne pod carrying Artemis, the Servants of God and the Gray Knights used the slide rails to accelerate out of the ship and perform airdrop.

...
Arcadia's Northern Hemisphere.
Arcadia also rotates from west to east. The morning sun slowly rises from the east, spreading sunlight over the entire continent and reflecting the messy urban area.
The streets were littered with scrapped vehicles and crashed airships, as well as collapsed megastructures, making the entire metropolitan area billow with smoke.
There were far fewer people fleeing in panic, because a large number of corpses could be seen everywhere in the streets.
Even Arcadia's most famous beach is littered with residents and tourists who have lost all traces of their lives, and large areas are dyed dark red with human blood.
The sparkling and beautiful seascape, but no one is enjoying it at the moment.
In the northernmost suburbs of the metropolitan area, there is a large relay station and the base where the Krieger 087 Regiment is stationed.
Soil and facilities were overturned and destroyed by the bombing, especially the airports where air vehicles were parked.
Inside the base and relay station, there were a large number of dead Kriegs.
They were paralyzed on the ground, their power armor was extremely damaged, their bodies were mutilated, and there was no complete body at all.
South side of the base.
A female Krieger with only her upper body left lying on the ground, holding the Hellfire rifle tightly in both hands, kept firing even if she was dead.
Behind her, there was a long trail of blood trailed by her crawling.
Under the damaged helmet, there was a face as cold as ice, with an expression frozen in a slightly clenched teeth and a slight frown, and his dull eyes were staring straight ahead.
She frowned and gritted her teeth, as if she hated herself for not being able to kill more traitors.
At this time, two Kriegers came to her side, bent down and half-crouched, preparing to restrain her.
But one of them stretched out his right hand to help her close her eyes so that she could "sleep" peacefully.
Overlooking the entire base, more than a hundred Kriegers and surviving technicians, ground staff, and medical staff were gathering their fallen comrades.
rescue?
There are very few wounded who can survive until the end of the battle and receive rescue treatment, because as long as they can still move, Krieger will never call for medics.
The bodies were collected and the few surviving wounded began to be rescued, indicating that the battle at the relay station and base had ended.
Including technical personnel, ground support and other support personnel, the 087th Regiment is a strengthened regiment with a total number of approximately 3,500.
However, after repeated attacks by rebels and believers, the 087th Regiment, including the combat battalion still operating in the urban area, has a total of more than 1,500 people left.
More than half of the people died, making it the most severely damaged unit since the establishment of Krieg. However, the rebels and believers...
On the outside of the 087th Regiment's base, there were hundreds of destroyed Warthogs and light armored vehicles, as well as more than a dozen Scorpions and derivative main battle tanks among them.
There is even a UNSC mobile base that is two times smaller than the Mammoth and is still burning to this day.
The corpses left by the rebels and believers need to be calculated in units of "ten thousand" and are scattered around these destroyed vehicles.
Nearly two hundred Kriegs are responsible for "cleaning" the perimeter of the base and relay station.
Krieg's actions were simple and effective, and he roughly piled the decomposed corpses together, and then burned them by heavy soldiers equipped with flamethrowers.
Even if Phils was killed by the battalion commander and lost the leader of the rebellion, the rebels and believers who attacked the 087th Regiment continued to attack by relying on their strength in numbers.
It was not until an hour ago that the traitors' morale finally collapsed and they fled in all directions.
This finally freed up the main force of the 087th Regiment and could send troops into the urban area to support the combat battalion and the resistance forces gathered by Andre.
"Ta...~! Ta...~!"
"Boom...! Boom...!"
The intensive gunshots and explosions coming from the city showed that the fighting did not stop at all because of the deaths of Phils and Samael.

...
Metropolis District 11.
On the one-way street on the west edge, there were two retired veterans equipped with civilian armor and firearms, running towards the nearest alleyway to them.
Suddenly, a white bone spear was thrown forcefully by a "person" and stabbed a veteran at an extremely fast speed...
"Pfft!"
The bone spear easily penetrated the armor, penetrated the veteran's body, and nailed a car in front of him.
"cough!"
The veteran with a gaping hole in his chest coughed up blood and fell forward unsteadily.
"Damn it! Hold on, old man!"
Fortunately, another veteran with a beard immediately reached out to support him, preventing the injured veteran from falling to the ground.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But the bone spear caused fatal injuries, and blood could not stop pouring out of the gap.
Seeing this, Bearded Beard led his old comrades to the back of the car with the bone spear embedded in it.
When he asked his old comrade to sit on the ground and leaned against the car, he discovered that his old comrade had stopped breathing.
Seeing this situation, the bearded man raised his hand and patted his old comrade on the shoulder, his eyes were red, and he held back tears and said:
"Old man, you wait down there for a while. I'll be there soon. Don't forget, you bastard still owes me a meal."
Finished.
The bearded man grasped the civilian pulse rifle he had modified in his hand, stood up, and used the car as a cover.
Then he pointed the muzzle of the gun at the "person" who was throwing the bone spear, pulled the trigger and shouted:
"Go to hell! You bastard!!"
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
The muzzle of the gun spit out a dazzling fire snake, quickly fired the pulse bullet in the magazine, and hit the "person".
However, pulse bombs that can carry out low-intensity explosions can cause limited damage to the "person".
I saw him, or it, with a huge body and strong muscles, at least three meters tall.
The skin is blood red, the face is sunken and twisted into a skull shape, and a pair of black horn-like bones grow on the temples.
It seems to be a demon that lives in a different space and likes blood, death and fear. Even if the pulse bomb successfully blasts a wound on its skin, it will heal quickly.
So the devil spread his hands, showing a deformed smile that said "What can you do to me?" and approached the bearded man like a leisurely stroll, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of torturing his prey.
"Click!"
Beard emptied the 75-magazine magazine, and the devil had already walked in front of him.
"Oh shit!"
The bearded man spat, took out the dagger hanging from his waist and rushed over.
But the results are obvious.
The devil's sharp claws also penetrated Beard's chest, and directly crushed the beating heart inside his body.
"Dog...bastard...uh..."
After the bearded man cursed with all his strength, he completely lost his life.
"Ha ha-!"
The demon flicked his hand and threw the bearded corpse aside. Looking at the bright red blood remaining on his hand, he couldn't help laughing loudly, as if he was celebrating himself for having found another race that could relieve his boredom.
And it is indeed a demon living in a different space.
But it is just an extremely insignificant little devil in the alien space. It does not need to go through complicated summoning rituals to get involved in the real universe. It only needs to occupy the "believers" who have entities.
The death of Phils caused the rebels and believers to lose their organization and continue to fight Cholera Arcadia aimlessly.
But Samael's disappearance attracted the attention of many low-level or miscellaneous fish-level demons.
Although they don't know how Samael disappeared, they noticed Arcadia and humans through the rebels and believers who believed in Samael.
So these demons began to whisper in the ears of the traitors, corrupting them into their believers, and allowing the traitors to continue to corrupt more residents of Arcadia to enhance their power in other dimensions.
What's more, they directly take over the magpie's nest and snatch the bodies of traitors or believers to come to the real universe to kill and satisfy their own desires.
Because of this, urban areas, home to hundreds of millions of people, are still in a state of extreme chaos.
There are traitors everywhere who believe in different demons, as well as demons that look ferocious and strong.
at this time.
The demon who killed two veterans was just about to find the next target of its abuse when he saw a "same kind" with a snake body and purple skin crawling out from the end of the one-way street.
The two demons looked at each other.
The goat-horned demon pulled out the bone spear stuck in the car and threw it at its kind without hesitation.
"Rou~!" The bone spear let out a sharp whistle.
However, the snake-bodied demon swung flexibly to the left, easily dodging the bone spear, and covered his mouth with a "haha" smile, seemingly mocking the goat-horned demon for its weakness.
"Roar!!!"
The ram-horned demon, completely angered by the provocation and laughter, raised its head and let out a deafening roar, and then ran wildly, bound to tear apart the companions who laughed at it.
In an instant, the two demons struggled with each other.
Vehicles on the one-way street and the short buildings on both sides also suffer from their mutual killing.
In one of the warehouses used to store plastic-wrapped food, many civilians who fled here were hiding.
"Boom! Boom!"
Hearing the sound of the demon's body hitting the wall, the tense civilians did not dare to breathe loudly for fear of disturbing the two demons outside the warehouse, and secretly prayed that they could survive this crisis safely.
Outside the warehouse...
The snake-bodied demon used its powerful tail to wrap tightly around the goat-horned demon's waist. He also controlled the opponent's arms with both hands and hung them on the goat-horned demon's body.
Then, it opened its mouth, revealing two fangs flowing with purple liquid.
"hiss!"
Then he made a sound like a poisonous snake, biting the neck fiercely, and injected the venom enough to corrode the soul into the body of the goat-horned demon.
"Roar...!"
Feeling the severe pain, the horned demon struggled wildly, trying to throw off the same kind hanging on its body, and even burst out with unprecedented strength to break free from the restraints.
Before you know it.
The two of them were rushing towards the warehouse.
The purpose of injecting venom has been achieved. In order to avoid unnecessary damage, the snake-bodied demon jumped away and kept a certain distance from the goat-horned demon.
"Hoo...ho..."
But the freed ram-horned demon fell on its back, groaning helplessly, and felt the pain that could endanger its own existence.
"Ha~." The snake-tailed demon smiled contemptuously.
Then it turned its attention to the warehouse where the gate was closed, and gradually showed a crazy expression, as if it was thinking about how to "entertain" the civilians inside.
The snake-bodied demon can clearly "smell" the emotion of fear, so hiding is completely ineffective against it.
suddenly.
As if it noticed something, it looked up at the sky and saw a small-scale "meteor shower" going on in the still dark sky.
Moreover, these "meteors" not only did not dissipate, but became more and more obvious, and quickly hit the urban area.
Wait until it completely enters the atmosphere.
The firelight surrounding the "meteor" faded away, revealing the true appearance of the "meteor".
It is an airborne warehouse that reflects the dazzling silver light under the rising sun.
After descending to a certain height, dozens of airborne pods quickly dispersed and fell to designated locations in the metropolitan area.
One of the targets is the one-way street where the snake body and the goat-horned demon are.
The snake-bodied demon, confused about the situation, quickly ran away.
A gap less than the blink of an eye.
"Boom - boom -!"
The airborne landing pod with buffer measures in place successfully landed, but it still caused an earthquake-like noise and a shallow crater in the ground.
The snake-bodied demon hiding in the alley leaned out and observed carefully.
With a few "Qi—!" sounds, the airborne cabin opened its airtight door.
"Boom, boom."
Immediately afterwards, the five Gray Knights walked out of the drop pod with heavy steps, followed closely by Artemis, who was not wearing a helmet.
This time, it was her and the snake-bodied demon who looked at each other.
turn out...
"嘡!嘡!" Two shots.
The snake-bodied demon couldn't even let out a scream as his body was exploded by the special bolt rounds fired from the bolt gun in Artemis' hand.
"Bah...bah..."
The purple blood splashed on the ground, as well as the damaged body and internal organs began to melt rapidly, turning into a pool of smelly black water.
However, the black water only lasted for a few seconds before turning clear at a speed visible to the naked eye, seemingly purified.
at the same time.
A gray knight stepped on the horned demon's chest with his left foot, pointed the muzzle at his head, and said in a metallic voice:
