Chapter 331 The Rise of the Primarch: Rain of Death
The iron meteor roared down from the dark clouds, its four-sided body covered with burning flames due to the friction of the atmosphere, the air tore and roared around, and the deafening sound of falling aroused a terrifying scream in the dark clouds.
The iron rain of death that once belonged to the Emperor was falling from the sky, but this time their bodies were branded with a symbol that did not belong to the Emperor, that was the symbol of traitors, a symbol of the four gods and destruction.
The iron rain roared down from the atmosphere to the dark cloud-covered hive city below, the towering spires stood in the clouds, and the windows built on them were like a pair of eyes and mouths, screaming to welcome the death rain that fell from the sky, and the whole hive was trembling and terrified in the rain of fire.
The whole city was in chaos. The residents of the hive who had not yet evacuated were screaming and fleeing in the streets, but they had nowhere to escape. The whole city was exposed to the destruction that fell from the sky. In the dark sky above the city, a large piece of fire rain was sliding down the sky and falling to the ground.
In the sonic boom that shook the air due to the Death Claws' air pods, the central air defense of the hive raised their huge cannons. Countless multi-barreled anti-aircraft machine guns located inside and outside the fortress were aimed at the burning iron rain. The Hydra multi-barreled anti-aircraft guns slowly raised their barrels and aimed at the falling death rain.
The gun crew officer standing next to the ground-based Hydra anti-aircraft gun picked up the gun sight. He looked up at the sky with the multifunctional range-finding and locking telescope. The officer raised his arm and swung it violently, roaring in the deafening sound of the surrounding guns, "Fire!"
The Hydra anti-aircraft gun beside the officer quickly responded to him. The nine barrels of the multi-barrel anti-aircraft gun began to fire alternately from left to right. The sound of the exploding gun instantly drowned out the officer's voice, and the flashing gunfire from the rapid-fire muzzle instantly lit up the officer's entire side and everything around him.
The gunfire shone on the lens of the gun sight. The officer's eyes were reflected in the constantly flashing lens. He looked at the series of barrages rising above his head. The Hydra's gunfire roared towards the sky and the falling landing capsules.
The roaring barrage hit one of the death claws. The continuous machine gun shells made its body clang. Its path was also deflected by the dense anti-aircraft artillery bombardment. In the next moment, he was shot through by a heavy laser and exploded into sparks in the air.
The laser came from the turbo laser cannon in the fortress behind the officer. The laser cannon located on the upper side of the fortress wall fired fiercely at the sky. The giant cannon instantly fired a dazzling laser beam in the roar.
The officer stood in front of the anti-aircraft fortress. He looked up at the bursting rain of fire above his head with a telescope. They lit up the dark sky like the fireworks blooming during festivals. Flickering flames lit up in the clouds. The officer looked at them, but put down the telescope in surprise. He stared at the Thunderhawk fighter plane whizzing down overhead.
A large group of Thunderhawks were whizzing down from the iron rain of Deathclaws. They swooped down to the ground like predatory birds of prey. Almost instantly, a series of explosions occurred around the entire fortress. The Thunderhawks whizzed past with machine guns and fired from the outer positions. The fireballs that exploded in the screams rose from the high walls of the fortress beside them.
The officer instinctively lowered his body because of the explosion. He stared at the explosion with wide eyes. The members of the Hydra anti-aircraft artillery beside him also stopped in surprise. They all turned their heads to look at the huge explosion beside them. In their field of vision, there were both explosions and officers who turned their heads and roared at the top of their voices.
"Don't be stunned! Fire and shoot down those raptors! Before they kill us! Quick!" The officer pointed to the sky and roared. His voice was transmitted to the artillery crew in a roar that almost made his throat hoarse. All the soldiers immediately returned to their posts.
The deputy gunner sat on the left side of the anti-aircraft gun and stepped on the steering motor. The barrel of the Hydra anti-aircraft gun began to rotate rapidly amid the roar of the rotating base. The gunner on the right side also pressed the trigger suddenly. The multi-barreled machine gun quickly aimed at the sky and fired fiercely. The continuous gunfire was accompanied by the muzzle of the fighter plane that passed by.
The left and right gun barrel arrays fired alternately, and they fired back and forth. The eye-catching gunfire shone on the faces of the shooters who were firing and roaring along with the gunfire at the end of the Hydra anti-aircraft gun. They roared at the fireballs and enemy planes that kept blooming above their heads.
The golden bronze machine gun shells were thrown out continuously from the ejection window on the side of the gun mount. The clinking shells piled up under the Hydra anti-aircraft gun. The newly fallen shells hit the pile of shells and echoed the roaring anti-aircraft movement with a crisp accompaniment.
"Kill them! Kill that lightning fighter!" The officer climbed onto the gun mount of the anti-aircraft gun. He crouched behind the gunner, holding a telescope in one hand and pointing at the reverse-wing fighter whizzing past in front of him with the other hand. The gunner sitting in front of him quickly followed the officer's gesture and adjusted the muzzle to aim at the fighter whizzing past.
The muzzle of the nine-barrel anti-aircraft gun chased the fighter relentlessly, and the barrage of strafing rapidly chased the equally fast lightning fighter. This was a death race, just like the two hunting parties chasing and biting each other, desperately trying to kill the other party before the other party reversed direction and counterattacked.
But this time, the Emperor's warriors won the hunting and chasing. Amid the roar of the anti-aircraft gun crews in the deafening artillery fire, the barrage of bullets caught up with the side of the Lightning fighter. The roaring barrage swept past the end in an instant, and shells tore the body of the fighter, and the central part instantly tore it into two sections.
With a shell hitting the cabin, the Lightning fighter also exploded in the splash of broken glass. The burning fighter was divided into two parts and hit the high-rise building of the nest city on one side, and it crashed directly into the glass floor.
"Emperor bless! We killed it!" A loader beside the officer raised his arm and shouted, and his comrades around him who were already sweating all raised their arms and cheered. The officer looked at them and smiled a little in the joy of victory, but the smile froze instantly.
He suddenly grabbed the cheering gun crew member and pushed him back to his post. The officer pointed at the Deathclaw landing capsule that had just crashed into the glass office building and smashed a large gap in the several floors.
"Fire! Emperor! Fire!" The officer almost screamed at the landing capsule. The shooter in front of him quickly pressed the trigger. A series of rapid-fire shells hit the Deathclaw at a very close distance. The hatch of one side of the landing capsule was dented, and the short-circuited circuit system also burned in the blink of an eye.
But all this was useless. The Deathclaw landing capsule whizzed over the heads of the Chimera shooters. The officer turned around and looked at the landing capsule that hit the sandbags behind them.
The sunken door of the landing capsule that hit the ground opened downwards, but it was stuck in the process of falling because of the previous attack. The door that was creaking seemed to be paralyzed in the circuit sparks that kept emerging on one side.
The officers and the gun crew had some luck at first. They thought they were saved in despair, but they forgot one thing. The broken door could not stop the crazy demigod behind it. The machine could not save them at all.
The door was kicked open, and the kicked door panel hit the side of the Chimera's gun mount like a cannonball, causing the side of the anti-aircraft gun to dent directly. The officers and the gun crew looked up at the landing hatch that was knocked open. A black-armored Astartes stepped out of the door.
His chest was branded with the blasphemous mark, the mark that made all of them despair. Under the eight-pointed star mark, the traitor space marine raised the grenade launcher in his hand and aimed it at them. The officer looked at the muzzle and took off his military cap. At the last moment of his life, he turned his head and looked at the golden palace dome on the distant horizon.
"Emperor, guide us to your side." The officer whispered, and then he was beaten into pieces of flying flesh in an instant. The traitor Astartes pointed the grenade gun at them and pulled the trigger. The roaring grenade gun muzzle fired a rain of explosive bullets, and the soldiers standing on the Hydra were instantly beaten into flying pieces of rotten flesh.
Their broken bodies mixed with the rags of military uniforms were splashed on the Hydra, but soon the Hydra also caught fire and exploded under the penetration of the explosive bullets that hit the bomb bay. The huge ammunition exploded and blew the Hydra directly up, and the paralyzed armored wreckage hit the gate of the fortress.
The black cult superman turned around and picked up the grenade gun to look at the fortress gate behind him. The defense forces at the gate looked at him in panic, watching other rebellious Astartes walk out of the landing capsule behind the traitor Astartes, and the thousand-year-old veterans wearing black armor stood like giants a few steps away from them.
The Black Legion traitor holding a bolter raised his head. He looked at another Deathclaw empty pod that passed overhead. Its end instantly shot out a bright red hot melt beam. The scarlet hot melt laser beam instantly melted through the outer concrete wall of the fortress and directly opened a big hole in the fortress.
The Deathclaw landing pod plunged in. The landing pod full of traitor space marines directly crashed into the interior of the fortress. The mortal guards standing at the gate of the fortress looked at the piercing dust rising above their heads. Everyone looked at the defense line in horror, and then turned their heads to look at the traitor in front of them after the first step of the Black Legion traitor in front.
The leading Black Legion traitor walked over with a bolter, and the other traitors holding bolters and chainswords behind him followed closely. Facing those giants who were as tall as mountaintops to mortals, the mortal guards could only scream and shoot at them out of instinct.
Laser guns hit them one after another, but those giants in black armor were completely unable to be blocked by them. They didn't even dodge, but just walked towards the fierce firepower of the guards. The laser beams could not leave even a scratch on their black power armor.
Amid the clanging sound of laser guns hitting them, the black legion raised their bolt guns and began to roar. Unlike the attacks of the guards, the first bolt bullet instantly killed one person. The body of the guard soldier standing at the door with a gun was instantly pierced into pieces and stuck on the iron gate of the fortress behind him.
On the side of the guard who was killed instantly, another guard corporal holding a gun and trembling all over looked at the cult supermen who were coming. The bureaucrats of the Military Affairs Department had guaranteed that the protective breastplates on them "definitely" could block the bolt bullets of the traitors. The laser guns in their hands could kill the traitor Astartes like killing a chicken.
They are talking nonsense! The corporal knew that the bureaucrats in the Military Affairs Department had deceived them. They were the chickens! The chickens that were slaughtered in front of these demigods!
The laser guns in their hands couldn't even knock off the paint on their armor, and the tattered protective breastplates worn by the guards themselves were not even as good as paper in front of the bolt guns! It was just a piece of toilet paper, and it was the kind of very poor quality with only one layer.
The corporal looked at the traitors walking in front of him. They walked slowly with heavy steps, and every step would be accompanied by death. The bolt guns in the hands of the Astartes kept firing accurately, and the flying bombs harvested the guards in front of the gate. They fired at the traitors desperately, but they couldn't hurt them at all, and couldn't even stop them from moving forward.
"Retreat! Retreat to the fortress!" The corporal screamed in despair and turned to flee into the gate. The surviving guards around him also turned and ran wildly into the gate in fear. For this, they even stepped on the bodies of their compatriots who had just been killed and whose bodies were still hot from the explosion of the bomb.
The corporal fled into the gate. He looked at a soldier standing by the door and shouted, "Close the door! Close the door quickly!"
The corporal turned his head and looked at everything outside the door while yelling. The traitor Astartes walked over. The guards who ran into the gate with their backs to them were shot from behind by accurate grenade launchers. Their paper armor did not protect them for even a second.
The explosive bombs sent pieces of flesh flying everywhere. One of the guards who was about to escape into the gate was blown up by a bullet. His face, twisted by fear, exploded instantly, and the flesh of the corpse was scattered all over the corporal. He looked at the pile of hot pieces of flesh on his body and screamed in panic, "Close the door! In the name of the Emperor! Close the door!"
The soldier at the door was also trembling with fear. He immediately pulled down the brake lever of the gate at hand. As he pulled, the heavy explosion-proof doors on both sides of the fortress gate began to extend from both sides and quickly closed toward the center. The corporal stood behind the gap of the gate and looked at the traitors outside.
Through the remaining gap of the gate that was about to close, he saw the leading Black Legion traitor nodding to the body of another traitor beside him. The traitor holding the chainsaw sword nodded slightly to him, and then rushed out quickly. He rushed to the closing gate quickly.
Logically speaking, the larger the object, the slower it should move, especially under the constraints of the planet's gravity. This is in line with the laws of physics. The larger the object, the heavier it should be.
But Astarte was obviously not one of them. The tall demigod superman rushed over at a speed that frightened the corporal. His speed was as fast as lightning. The black traitor rushed over with a chainsaw sword in his hand, and the chainsaw sword in his hand was also raised high, like the scythe of the god of death.
"Fire! Fire! Stop him!" The corporal raised the laser gun in his hand in despair and fired at the Astarte. The guards around him fired fiercely at the traitor. Laser beams hit him one after another, but it was meaningless. All the firepower of mortals could not stop the advance of the Astarte.
The tall giant slipped in through the gap of the door that was about to close. His huge body stepped through the gap and immediately appeared in front of the corporal with his eyes wide open. His eyeballs reflected the Astartes giant in front of him, the scarlet eyes on his helmet, and the roaring chainsaw sword.
That became the last thing the corporal saw, because in the next blink of an eye, before the corporal could scream, he was chopped down. The roaring chainsaw sword slashed down fiercely under the wielding of the demigod's iron fist. The whistling saw teeth instantly crushed the corporal's body, and his right arm broke instantly. The torso was immediately the turn of the broken bones.
The corporal was chopped into two sections by the chainsaw sword in the blink of an eye. As the corporal's broken body hit the wall, the soldier standing at the brake bolt by the door looked at the traitor who was slaughtering the soldiers at the gate in despair. The chainsaw sword he wielded killed all the soldiers standing at the door in a very short time.
Their bodies were scattered everywhere, and the mutilated body of one of them fell in front of the soldier. He looked at the Astartes who was walking towards him after killing everyone in horror.
In extreme fear and despair, he did something instinctively, a heretical act out of the instinct for survival. The soldier suddenly pulled up the brake bolt beside him, and the closed door immediately stopped and then reopened to both sides.
He threw away his gun and looked at the Astartes giant who was walking towards him. In fear, the soldier almost used the last bit of reason left to piece together a sentence, a sentence that could get him shot hundreds of times by the political commissar.
"Praise the Four Gods! Long live Chaos! Let me join us, spare my life and I can help you."
"No, you can't help."
The soldier was caught by the traitor in front of him before he finished speaking. His head was pinched by the burly Astartes. He looked at the soldier in front of him who was struggling and swinging his body in the air, "Your cheap loyalty is worthless to the Four Gods. You are not qualified to be loyal to the Four Gods, coward."
The traitor of the Black Legion said as he crushed his head. With the sound of the skull breaking like an apple being crushed, the traitor of the Black Legion threw his body directly to the ground. As the limp body fell to the ground, the traitor walked to the gate holding the chainsaw sword. He looked at the remaining Black Legion Astartes who walked in from outside the door.
He nodded to the leader of the Black Legion. The traitor holding the chain sword pointed his sword blade at the far end of the gate. Behind them were the frightened Guardsmen with guns. Behind them stood a statue at the end of the warehouse. Statue of the Emperor.
"They're all here, Lieutenant."
"very good."
The leader of the Black Legion traitor raised his bolter. He raised his hand and aimed at the statue of the Emperor. The bolt roared and shattered the head of the statue of the Emperor.
"Kill the false emperor! For the sake of the Warmaster and the legion, move forward!"
