Chapter 380: Expedition Road: Reinforcements Needed
"Although I know we are in a little trouble now, everything is under the control of the Marshal!"
"Are you sure? Lord Vito."
A blazing light bullet roared towards Vito's Phoenix Sword. The moment it almost collided with the blade, the light bullet was deflected and bounced away. Vito smiled bitterly and held the sword to block several more rounds. When the blaster beam arrived, he looked towards the end of the bridge opposite and showed a bitter smile.
"It seems... a bit unexpected." As he spoke, Vito waved the flaming Phoenix Sword again. He waved the flaming holy sword in his hand at high speed, constantly blocking and deflecting shots from across the bridge in front of him. Intense artillery fire.
Rainstorm-like barrage flashes of red, green and purple light roared from the end of the floating bridge. They all hit Vito who was standing in the middle of the bridge. The latter was standing in the carriage of a scrapped floating personnel carrier. Go up and face the barrages that kept him busy and couldn't stop.
All around him were the remains of vehicles, fallen corpses, broken weapons, etc. To put it simply, the entire bridge looked terrible, and Vito stood in the middle of this pile of garbage, facing There seems to be a worse situation, maybe some can be removed.
"Sir, do you know that the place where we slid down from the fortress is a gathering point for the enemy?" Shatina said, sitting on the back of the scrapped personnel carrier, and inserted the magazine in her hand into a ray rifle. Inside, Vito, who was standing above her head, smiled bitterly and turned his wrist, knocking away another blaster beam.
He looked at the "enthusiastic friends" on the other side of the bridge and smiled awkwardly, "How should I put it, I just liked the building, and then I shot it with the hook lock gun, but it seems that we are still here. Very popular.”
"It's too popular." Vito said, blocking in front of him with his backhand sword, and then swung it out with his backhand. The blaster beam that hit the Phoenix Sword bounced back, directly punching through the hiding person. The head of the shooter who fired behind the pier at the end of the bridge.
He fell to the ground in response, while the shooters beside him were still firing fiercely. They squatted on the edge of the suspended city at the end of the bridge, facing Vito in the center of the bridge from behind the pier.
From behind them, an Eldar floating tank drove up. Although from the perspective of the Empire, that thing without tracks and a diamond-shaped turret could still be called a tank? But it was, especially when it drove up to the bridge and took aim at Vito.
"We are in trouble, sir." Shatina leaned behind the armored vehicle and raised her head to look at the blaster shells that roared down from the sky. Vito, who was standing above her, also looked up at the several falling blasters. Fire cannonballs.
"I see, ah, it looks like I'm having bad luck today." He turned his wrist and quickly knocked away a large blast beam coming towards him, then turned around and suddenly raised his arm, summoning a magic weapon above his head. A shining shield.
All the shells hit the shield, and in an instant the dense explosion fire rolled over it. The flames engulfed the entire front side of the armored vehicle in an instant. Shatina stood behind the armored vehicle with a gun in hand, looking around As the blaster shells falling from the surrounding ground exploded, the dense explosions bombarded the area where they were located.
The wreckage of a floating motorcycle slid to Shatina's feet. She looked at the smoking debris and poked her head out. She looked forward from the edge of the explosion flames that were constantly bombarding the shield. Raindrop-like shells were coming from Shots were fired from across the bridge, one after another, flashing bright lights roaring in.
Those shells hit the shield, and instantly set off blazing flames rushing around. Shatina's snow-white dress has now turned into a short skirt that only reaches her knees. There are traces of scorched flames everywhere at the end of the skirt. , if she hadn't reacted quickly and tore off the burning part, otherwise she would have become like the burnt corpses lying on the ground around her.
"Sir, Sister Iyanna told me that you are very powerful, stronger than all the prophets in Iyonden combined." "I have said that, probably Iyonden and Bertin, and probably all the others. The prophets of Ark are so strong together, but they still need to be improved.”
Vito smiled and raised his arms to support the shield in front of him. The explosions continuously illuminated his entire front. Shatina behind him raised her head and looked at Vito on the roof of the car, pointing her gun at the opposite side. Arrogant tanks.
"So, can you just vaporize the nasty guy on the other side of the bridge? My dress and hair were ruined by them, and I'm a little annoyed."
Vito tilted his head slightly and glanced at Shatina's hair. Many parts of the curly hair were singed, and scorch marks of varying lengths were stuck to her hair, not to mention the ashes all over her head. "How can I put it? I can indeed do it, but there is a small problem."
"What?" "My control over psychic powers is a little weak and needs to be improved. So if I want to evaporate those idiots on the other side, I may accidentally blow up the bridge under our feet. Then we will fall."
Shatina buried her head because of another falling shell above her head. She patted the ash and dust on her head and then raised her head and looked at Vito on the roof of the car, "But I remember you said, we are rushing Is the time right?"
"Well, it's true. We've been here long enough, but don't worry, I'll find a solution." Vito smiled and turned his head to look at the explosion in front of him. The falling shells almost blocked his entire field of vision. Behind him, Shatina leaned against the back of the car with a gun in her arms, and her torn skirt was constantly blown around by the hot wind.
"So, how long do we have to wait for you in this blazing fire wind and the explosion that makes my ears bleed?" "About three seconds, because I already have an idea."
"What attention?" Shatina looked up at Vito above, who smiled and inserted the Phoenix Sword into the roof of the car on one side, and raised his free hand suddenly, "Return the gift."
Vito said as he raised his arm suddenly. The moment he raised his hand, all the shells falling from his head stopped in the air. The rain of bullets in the sky seemed to be paused. Vito smiled and turned his wrist in the air, and all the blaster beams turned the warheads back, like arrows ready to be fired.
"Thank you for your gift. Now, I'll give it back to you." Vito said loudly with a smile, and suddenly waved his arm forward. As his big arm danced, all the suspended blaster beams in the air flew back with a whistle. They all followed the trajectory they flew from and started again.
The commander on the turret of the floating tank looked at the blaster beam that fell back, widened his eyes and shouted loudly, and then the blaster beam hit the turret in front of him. The surging explosion instantly pushed it onto the hood of the tank, and the skin and flesh were quickly torn around and disappeared, exposing the broken bones underneath.
The tank exploded instantly, and the chain explosion mixed with the rain of bullets shot back from the top, instantly setting off a raging fire in the entire bridgehead area. Continuous explosions rose from there, and the wreckage of the tank turret, the broken skirt of the personnel carrier and the broken weapons were abandoned in the flames and then fell down.
After the explosions around her ended, Shatina walked out of the armored vehicle. She held a gun and looked at the chain explosions on the opposite side. Vito above her head lowered the shield in front of him, stepped on the roof of the armored vehicle with his hands on his hips and smiled, "Okay, the trouble is done."
Before Vito finished speaking, a decomposition ray suddenly hit his feet. Green smoke came out of the burned hole. Vito looked at the thing and slowly raised his head, looking at the sky above his head, "It looks like there is still a little trouble."
Shatina looked up at the sky as Vito said. She saw several "Raven" fighters rushing down quickly in the direction of the burning fire cloud. The fighter with slender razor-like wings was whistling down from the sky. The decomposition rapid-fire cannon on the nose flashed quickly, firing a series of barrages at the two people in the middle of the bridge.
Shatina crouched down subconsciously, and Vito above her immediately summoned a shield above her. The series of dive shots all hit the shield, and then several Raven fighters flew over the roof of the car, flew out quickly from the side of the bridge, and drew a long arc in the air.
"Can you handle them?" Shatina aimed her gun at the maneuvering fighter and fired a few shots, but obviously, with the flying speed of the Raven fighter, the rifle beam in her hand would not hit them, let alone catch up with them.
"Okay, it's a bit troublesome. I hate to hit this kind of fast-flying thing the most." Vito said, clenching his fists on both sides, and golden lightning burst out from his fingertips in an instant. The jumping arc bombarded the roof of the car and moved around it to form an electric grid.
Vito looked at the whistling Raven fighters. He frowned and stretched his arms back slightly, but the fighters suddenly exploded. The broken bodies passed by the two of them with blazing flames. The wreckage of one of them smashed directly from the armored vehicle and fell heavily on the bridge a few steps away.
Shatina turned her head to look at the burning body that smashed to the side, and then looked at Vito above her head, "Did you hit them?" "No, it wasn't me who did it, but him."
Vito said as he loosened his palm, and the dense lightning disappeared. He stood up and pointed at something in the air in front of him. Shatina looked in the direction of the finger and saw the huge figure slowly falling from the burning fire cloud.
The pair of wings behind him flapped, expanding the shadow instantly when they spread in the air, and the red wings themselves were almost like a falling fire meteor under the light of the burning fire cloud, only the blue feathers at the end of the huge wing edge outlined its outline, letting you know that it was not a fire meteor.
"Magnus, I forgot you can fly." Vito said standing on the top of the armored vehicle. He looked at Magnus who was slowly falling from the air with his wings flapping. He had recovered his original appearance. The tall Red Lord stood in front of Vito. Because Vito was standing on the armored vehicle, he was much higher, so he could almost look Vito in the eye.
"You are slow, Vito, you are several minutes late than the scheduled time." Magnus' wings spread to both sides, and then slowly closed together, which made him look like an oversized parrot.
"My friends welcomed me warmly, so I stayed with them for a while." Vito said, casually pointing to the wreckage around him and the raging fire at the bridgehead. Magnus glanced around and then noticed Shatina below Vito.
"Your new girl?" "Really? Do you think I can pick up a girl when I'm surrounded by hundreds of people?" "Aren't you always like this?"
After hearing this answer, Vito suddenly hesitated. He touched his chin and raised his head and thought for a while, "Since I can't find a reason to refute? This is the first time."
"Demon Prime Magnus!" Shatina looked at the Cyclops in front of her, suddenly raised the ray gun in her hand and pointed it at his only eye, as if taking aim at the crosshairs.
"Hey, since you know him? I thought the Eldar were too lazy to learn the list of human traitors." Vito put his hands on his hips and looked down at Shatina who was almost at the same height as Magnus, with a look on his face. asked with a smile.
"Sister Iyanna told me the story of the Horus Heresy. She told me the names of all the traitors who surrendered to Chaos, as well as their looks." Shatina said, pointing the gun in her hand at Magnu Si's head, the latter raised his head and glanced at Vito on the side, and he smiled and shrugged.
"Okay, that's what I told her, but don't worry, now this big parrot is our companion, at least for the time being?" Vito smiled and turned to look at the big head on the side, and emphasized the last few words. After emphasizing, the "big parrot" glanced at him and then snorted and crossed his arms.
Vito smiled and nodded to Shatina. He waved his hand slightly to signal her to put down the gun. The latter finally put the gun down after some hesitation.
"Still." "So, tell me, how did our little plan go? My brother."
Vito chuckled and put his hand on Magnus's shoulder. Like I said, he was standing on the armored vehicle almost at the same level as Magnus, so he could reach his shoulder, and the latter held it suspiciously. The arms are open.
"The situation is going well, at least in part. Lilith and Helen went to find the ship. If I'm not wrong, they should have found it."
"What about you? Super big red Cyclops, what are you doing flying around in the sky?" "As you can see, I'm clearing flying objects in the sky, as well as setting up anti-aircraft firepower everywhere to avoid trouble when the spacecraft takes off. , so far it’s going well for me.”
"According to my experience, when everything goes well, something worse will definitely happen. So, besides this part, what about the other part?"
Vito stood on the armored vehicle with his hands on his hips, looking around at the floating city filled with flames. Magnus turned around and raised his arms towards the direction of the fire in the distance, "Human prisoners, and Aspen Tate is breaking out towards Starport, and they know where to find a way to leave, but they know it, and the Eldar know it, so the Dark Eldar mobilize a lot of people to intercept them. "
"Although there are Astartes present, they are unarmed and do not have any weapons to use. Therefore, they suffered heavy losses in the face of the siege of the Eldar and it seems that they will be annihilated soon."
"Then you didn't help?" "You know what would happen if I appeared in front of humans like this, right?" "Okay, just pretend I didn't ask."
Vito hugged his arms and said with a wry smile. He looked around at the remains of the Eldar assembled troops, touched his chin thoughtfully, "I guess the worst situation is more than this, right?"
"Indeed, what's even worse is that the Dark Eldar and their alien mercenary troops have already assembled from the chaos everywhere, and are now attacking the human captives from the left and right wings. If they wait until they complete the encirclement, those unlucky ones will The egg is finished."
Magnus pointed his fingers at both sides of the starport, and his huge wings opened and closed slightly behind him. "I tried to intercept some flanking troops, but there were too many of them, and the streets of this city were too complicated. , I cannot stop all attacking enemies with you alone."
"If we can't, then let's find an ally." Vito touched his chin, a sly smile appeared on his lips, and Magnus turned his head to look at him in surprise.
"Then you need to find an entire army with weapons. And here, I think these two points are difficult to achieve."
"That's not true." Vito chuckled, standing on the roof of the car with his arms folded, and turned to look at the chaotic street below, "Here, there is a group of weapons, or troops that can be mobilized for you in two or three strikes. , better for our use.”
"What the hell are you thinking about?" Magnus turned around and asked. Vito, who was as tall as him in front of him, smiled and glanced at him, then raised his head and looked at the street below.
"You go find the Tyranid swarm, and then release psychic signals to attract them to the star port, and let those cute little animals go to play with the Eldar."
Vito said as he grabbed the Phoenix Sword beside him and pulled it out at once, "And I'm going to find the greenskins and convince them to have a waaaaaaaage with me!"
Magnus looked at Vito who was hesitant to speak. After standing aside and seeming to think for a while, he realized that he quite liked the plan. If Tzeentch was here, he would definitely say that you are such a talent.
"Your clever idea, well, it's indeed a good plan. I can handle Tyron. Anyway, I look like a giant psychic ice cream in front of them."
"It's the kind with strawberry jam poured over it." Vito smiled and patted the arm of the big red guy on one side. The latter chuckled softly and looked up at Vito beside him.
"What about you? Are you really going to 'persuade' the greenskins to help?" "Believe me, old man, sometimes greenskins are easier to deal with than humans."
Vito said and jumped out of the armored vehicle. He dropped his sword to the ground and patted the giant's calf with the sword blade on the side. "Go to work now. We will meet at the dock."
Magnus chuckled softly, then looked at Shatina again, then spread his wings and flew up. He flew towards the corner of the chaotic city facing the distant fire. Vito looked at him and smiled, Behind him, Shatina walked up with a gun and stood by the bridge with Vito.
"So where are we going to find the green skin?" she asked, and Vito turned around and looked at her, then shrugged, took off his windbreaker and put it on her shoulders. , so that the little girl's tattered skirt was covered underneath.
"If you want to go find the greenskins, you can't dress like a soft lady who ran away from home, and cover your ears. I guess those fools have seen the pointed ears of the Eldar now, and they won't wait for you to say anything." Hit him with a fist."
Vito said, reaching out from Shatina's face, grabbing the hood of the windbreaker, and covering it on her head, covering half of the little girl's face underneath, Shatina He raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, but before he could say anything, he was hugged by the latter.
Vito held the petite little girl, who looked like a messy coat after putting on the windbreaker, to his chest. He held her waist, and held her legs with his other hand, holding the princess in front of him. .
Vito carried her to the edge of the pontoon and looked at the chaotic street below. She saw a few green dots running around below. She was startled and seemed to understand something. She immediately turned her head to look at the face in front of her. Smiling Vito.
"Sit tight! Let's give those mushroom guys a surprise!" Vito yelled and jumped off the high bridge. This time, there was no hook and lock. Tina hugged Vito's neck tightly and screamed loudly.
"Sister Yiyanna is right! You are a madman!"
Today is the best day to get double monthly tickets. If you still have tickets, hurry up and rush in. For the sake of the emperor, just rush in and you're done!
