Chapter 401: The Road to Expedition: A Bloody Road in the Fire

Terran Standard Year: M42.003

Obscure Star Domain/Cadia Sector—Fortress World "Saint" Wal-Mart Nemesis Orbit

The whizzing light bomb shattered the helmet at once, and with the explosion of blood, the plastic steel helmet also exploded instantly. Countless fragments were sprayed to the ground along with brains and dark green steel debris. Cady beside him The soldiers of the Asian Defense Forces were still lying behind the sandbags, holding their guns and firing fiercely forward.

He kept pulling the trigger in his hand, firing laser beams toward the other end of the corridor one after another. Countless gunshots echoed in the long corridor of the star port orbit, bright laser beams and entities whizzing by. The bullets weaved together and blasted forward.

The captain sitting next to the SADF soldier, Captain Carl Vick, leaned on the sandbag. He held a walkie-talkie in his hand and shouted loudly into the microphone, "Regiment headquarters! This is the first battalion! Let's throw it away." Hall 7 is lost! Repeat, Hall 7 is lost!”

"We are defending in corridor NV-B-91, but we have suffered heavy losses! Repeat! We need support!" Carl pressed his helmet, bent down and sat behind the sandbag and shouted loudly, and there was an explosion behind him. , the captain raised his head and looked at the terrace corridors on both sides of the corridor above. Following an explosion, several soldiers of the Cadian Guard fell down.

Carl turned around, leaned his shoulder on the sandbag and looked out. He saw a large number of demons rushing in from the steel gate at the other end of the corridor. The scarlet demons of Khorne howled waving flaming red swords and battle axes. Coming for the kill.

The Khorne hound quickly rushed towards the defense forces behind the sandbags in front. The soldier raised his gun and aimed at the charging demon hound and kept firing, but the huge war dog with its bloody mouth was even faster and kept firing. He dodged left and right, dodged all the incoming beams, and then jumped up and threw the guard to the ground.

The soldier fell to the ground all of a sudden. He screamed loudly and waved his arms. Amid the screams, the Cardia comrades beside him raised their guns and aimed at the hound on him, but before he could As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard the sound of heavy footsteps. The soldier immediately turned his gun and aimed at the huge shadow walking next to him.

He fired a shot, and the shining light bullet hit the scarlet armored chest and was instantly bounced away. The guard looked at the scene in surprise and was about to fire the second shot when the muzzle of the gun was suddenly pushed away. When he got out, the huge swing force caused the laser gun in his hand to push out and hit the ground.

The guard soldier in the breastplate raised his head and looked at the tall giant in front of him. The scarlet giant in red heavy armor roared and raised the chain axe. The roaring giant ax chopped the body of the guard into pieces. It hit him directly on the head, and the chain saw teeth tore apart his entire body.

The Cadian warrior who was split into two fell to the ground, and the remaining comrades beside him also looked at the red steel giant. The burly giant turned to look at them, but did nothing else. At that moment, the Daemons of Khorne rushed through the sandbags, and the Vampire wielding the blood sword struck one person in the neck.

The man who was slashed in the neck whimpered, covering his bleeding neck, and stepped back repeatedly. He muttered something in vague words, but before he could speak clearly, the vampire in front of him rushed out. Go up, raise your sword and chop off his head at once.

The guard's head fell from his neck. As the head wearing a steel helmet crashed to the ground, several corpses around it also fell down one after another. The rolling heads attached to the helmet rolled a few steps away. Then he was stepped on by the vampire's clawed legs and feet.

It picked up the head, and the vampire holding the sword of blood raised the head high, as if to let someone far away see clearly, it opened its fangs. The giant red mouth roared with a deep voice that seemed to come from the deepest part of hell.

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god! Skull sacrifice to the skull seat!" The vampire roared, raised his sword and shouted into the air, but suddenly his whole body flew back, and at the same time, a piece of blood bloomed on his chest. .

The roaring and dense bombs roared in the direction in front of the gate. The barrages shot away shattered several vampires at the door in the blink of an eye. Their bodies were suddenly torn into pieces, and dark red blood flowed all around. Splattered on the walls and floor.

Howling forward in the corridor, the demons that slaughtered the guards along the way finally stopped. They were hit by the oncoming barrage. The entire corridor was filled with countless splashes of blood and broken and twisted limbs. , the flying bomb suddenly hit a fast-moving Khorne Hound.

The hound that just jumped up was hit in the face by a gunshot. It flew backwards and hit the stone pillar in the corridor. It also dropped its headless and huge body in the blood cave next to the red giant. The traitor Astartes suddenly dodged back and leaned behind the pillar, with large pieces of steel and stone flying around him.

At the other end of the corridor, Karl put down the walkie-talkie. He raised his head and looked at the heavy machine gun roaring in front behind a bullet-proof shield. The heavy machine gun removed from the Chimera was behind the explosion-proof shield. The muzzle of the gun protruded from the groove on the shield, and when it was aimed at the end of the corridor, there was a burst of fierce fire.

The shooter held the butt of the gun and stared at the sight in front with his eyes attached to the side of the gun body, sweeping across the entire corridor. The roaring barrage suppressed the demons chasing out of the hall behind the steel gate in the flash. , at least temporarily suppressed.

Karl breathed a sigh of relief. He sat back on the sandbag and picked up the intercom. "The demon has been suppressed for the time being. Send support as soon as possible. We need a company of guards."

Before Karl finished speaking, he saw a broken head flying over the sandbag from the air and suddenly falling in front of him. The head was still connected to the neck and part of the shoulder. Blood overflowed from the broken gap, staining the entire ground red.

Karl looked at the face that rolled over. He knew his face and remembered it very clearly because it was the head of the guard machine gunner he had just seen. Karl was startled and immediately climbed up and looked in the direction of the machine gun in front of him. The gun crew members sitting next to him looked at the shooter who fell backwards, raised their heads and looked forward, and then they all suffered the same fate.

At the other end of the corridor, the steel giant hiding behind the stone pillar suddenly stood sideways. He raised the grenade in his hand and aimed at the machine gun in this section of the corridor. In the blink of an eye, several more guards were blown into splattering blood.

Carl looked at the blood-red giant who walked out of the stone pillar. He kept pulling the trigger and firing as he walked forward. Several other tall traitor giants also walked in from the gate behind him. They followed him with their bolt guns, and the muzzles in their hands kept turning to harvest lives.

"Correct the information! Correct the information! The other side has Astartes! We need Astartes support! Now!"

Carl yelled into the intercom, looking at the flashing muzzle, the explosive bomb whizzed in and smashed a guard soldier who stood up in front of Carl's sandbag. He raised the grenade in his hand and prepared to throw it at the traitors in front, but he was hit by a bullet as soon as he raised the bomb body. His entire upper body exploded into pieces, and the broken palm also fell from the air.

Carl looked at the falling hand, which still held the grenade. The captain glared and cursed, then stood up quickly, without even notifying the other guard sitting with him. The man looked at the captain who turned over and ran back, and raised his head to look outside in confusion.

The captain quickly ran to a stone pillar on the corridor behind the sandbags, and leaned against it. At the same time, he heard an explosion outside. Carl buried his head behind the stone pillar, and the dust raised by the explosion rushed past him. Carl opened his eyes after a while and saw a broken arm rolling on the ground.

Carl leaned against the pillar, listened to the gunshots outside, swallowed his saliva, and stuck his head out. He saw the traitor Astartes coming from behind. They stepped heavily through the corridor full of sandbags and roadblocks. Obviously, those obstacles were like paper in front of them, and they were almost instantly knocked down and shattered by them, along with the guards behind them.

A brave guard stood up, he climbed up from the ground and stabbed the Astartes with the bayonet on the laser gun in his hand, but the bayonet broke instantly when it hit the armor on the side of the traitor's abdomen. The guard was startled and raised his head with the gun to look at the tall giant in front of him, and the latter also lowered his head to look at him.

The whistling chain saw axe suddenly bloomed blood in front of Carl, and the powerless body fell limply to the ground. Carl leaned against the pillar and looked at the tall red giant who was walking slowly. He seemed to have discovered himself hiding behind the pillar, and then he stepped forward with a battle axe and crushed several corpses.

Carl looked at the red giant who was walking and took a breath. He turned his head to look at the French window in the colonnade beside him. Outside the window, there was a raging fire. He witnessed the explosion and disintegration of an imperial destroyer with his own eyes. The ship suddenly exploded outside the window, and the huge shock wave rushed forward and hit the outer wall of the starport.

Carl raised his arm to block in front of him. The flames of the explosion shone on his arm and half of his face under his chin. The eyes under his arm then looked out from the gap. What he saw was a burning starry sky and the Imperial Navy fleet collapsing in the sea of ​​fire.

The Chaos warship rushed through the flames. The huge hull almost blocked the entire view of the window. Carl looked at the sea of ​​fire burning outside the window. The fire projected into the corridor through the window and also illuminated a huge box placed by the window, lighting up dozens of hot melt grenades stored in the buffer sponge.

Carl looked at the grenade in the fire. He heard the traitor Astartes walking behind him. Caul leaned against the pillar and fell into silence amid the screams of the collapse of the defense line behind him, but he was only silent for a little bit, because he already knew what he should do.

Carl raised the intercom suddenly, and he looked at the ammunition box under the fire. "I will blow up the corridor and cut off the Chaos's advance line. Cadia will never fall!" He put down the intercom, put it on his waist, and rushed out of the colonnade. He bent down and kept dodging the bombs and beams shot from the side and rushed through the corridor. Carl slid in front of a flying bomb and dodged the warhead, then slid to the box. Carl's shoulder hit the box and stopped. He stood up with the box and looked at the hot melt grenade inside. Carl turned and looked at the red giant who was striding towards him. He knew that he didn't have much time. The captain immediately picked up one of the grenades, skillfully pulled out the fuse, and pressed the detonation button. The lights on both sides of the grenade lit up quickly along the two sides of the bomb body. The flashing lights turned and lit up quickly, and flashed at the same time after flashing several times. That was the state of preparing to explode. As long as Carl pressed it again, the grenade would explode.

"For Cadia!" Carl shouted loudly and raised his finger suddenly, pressing it downwards. But just when Carl was about to press the detonation switch of the grenade, the intercom on his waist suddenly rang for no reason, and a low voice came from it.

"If you really want to do it for the Void Father, don't detonate the grenade." The voice made Carl subconsciously stunned. He looked at the grenade in his hand with a surprised expression, and lowered his head to look at the intercom with a flashing communication light on his waist.

"Why? We can't hold the position, we..." Carl saw the huge shadow covering him before he finished speaking. He raised his head and looked at the source of the shadow on the side. It was the huge red giant. He walked in front of Carl and raised the chain saw axe in his hand.

Carl stared at the chain saw axe illuminated by the fire above his head with wide eyes. He watched the battle axe fall down with a bang, and his eyes were fixed on the falling axe blade, watching without even blinking, so he also saw the claw that caught the battle axe.

The claw suddenly crossed in front of Carl and collided with the chain saw axe. Dazzling sparks instantly sprayed from the claw. Carl looked at the claw in front of him with blue lightning jumping. The traitor holding the battle axe was also startled, and then immediately looked up at the tall figure beside him.

The traitor drew back the chain saw axe, raised it high at a rapid speed, and prepared to attack, but his speed was far slower than the giant who suddenly appeared beside him. The burly figure instantly punched him, and the roaring chain saw teeth instantly roared from the arm and hit the traitor.

The chest armor of the traitor was instantly shredded by the tearing of the chainsaw. The whistling iron fist instantly hit the chest that was spraying steel fragments, knocking it to the side. The traitor flew up and was hit by the giant fist on the pillar, almost knocking it down.

The burly giant strode forward, retracted the chainsaw gloves, and stabbed out the lightning claws of the other hand. In an instant, the claws pierced the traitor's torn chest. The claws jumping with lightning bounced out from behind him. The red giant was shocked and his hands were instantly straightened. The chainsaw axe in his hand also fell to the ground.

Carl's eyes widened, looking at the burly giant in front of him wearing heavy Terminator armor in surprise. His physique was taller than that of the traitor, and more than one fist bigger. The giant wearing the Terminator raised his claws and pulled down the traitor who was against the pillar. The traitor's legs knelt on the ground and were dragged weakly to the corridor on the side.

The power claw stabbed out from its back, and it was like hooking a piece of clothing and hanging it in its hand. The Terminator armor suddenly stepped out of the stone pillar. The heavy footsteps instantly attracted the attention of all the traitors in the corridor. They all turned their heads immediately. The one who was closest to the front threw away the body of the guard in his hand, looked at the body of his brother dragged on the ground, and rushed up with an angry roar.

He raised the chain saw battle axe in his hand and rushed towards the burly Terminator giant at lightning speed, but the latter hit the chain saw glove in his hand at a faster speed, and the iron fist whistled up and collided head-on with a chain saw axe swung by a traitor. The two weapons collided, but the iron fist was obviously better.

The iron fist swung and knocked the battle axe away with pure force. The traitor retreated a few steps under the impact of the huge force, but the moment he raised his head, he was hit by the chain saw iron fist from bottom to top, and the roaring saw teeth instantly tore the surface of the helmet, and the whistling slices left a row of huge deep cuts on it.

The traitor fell on his back on the ground, and the other traitors behind him looked at the fallen brother. His entire face was chopped up along with the helmet. The fragmented and blurred flesh and steel debris were almost mixed together, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

Carl looked at the traitor who fell to the ground, raised his eyes and looked at the tall giant standing in front of him. He turned his head slightly and looked at Carl behind him with the scarlet eyes on the black helmet, "You ask, why, why not blow up this corridor."

"The reason is very simple, because the Void Father also needs this corridor, and his sharp blade needs to pierce from here." The Terminator giant said loudly, raised the power claw and threw it forward, and the traitor stuck on it was also thrown out and smashed to the ground.

The Terminator stared at the traitors in front of him and slowly raised his claws to point forward. He pointed at the traitors holding weapons. His tall body revealed a strong sense of oppression. He stared at them, and the eyes of the blood-red helmet flashed with a piercing red light, "Pierce from here, their hearts."

The Terminator pointed to the chest of one of the traitors. The man obviously didn't understand what that meant. Carl didn't understand whether it was a modification or what it meant, but he soon realized that it was just a pure adjective. When a huge bloody hole was left on the traitor's chest.

Carl was shocked. He knew of course that the hole was not caused by the Terminator using some powerful psychic power, but by an equally powerful grenade launcher derived from the power of Ohm Messiah of the Forge World. Carl turned his head sharply to look beside him, and a whole team of Astartes appeared in the corridor in an instant.

The gray Astartes with the Roaring Shark logo painted on their shoulders held guns and strode past the Terminators on both sides. They raised their guns and pointed them at the traitors in front of them and fired fiercely, including several of them. The traitor fell instantly, while the others suddenly grasped their battle axes and got into fighting postures.

The tall Terminator Astartes rushed forward at a speed completely unmatched by that Terminator. The chain fist he waved shredded the armor, while the lightning claw on the other hand shattered flesh and blood. In the blink of an eye, he was there. Flowers of blood bloomed among the crowd, and as his heavy footsteps continued, several more corpses fell around him.

The Terminator raised his claws high and pointed at the door ahead. He raised his head on the tall armor and pointed at the demons at the door, "Tear their flesh and blood and pierce their hearts."

The demons looked at the Terminator, and then all the Khorne demons suddenly clenched their weapons. They stared wide-eyed at the gray power armor warriors rushing past the Terminator's body, wielding roaring chain axes. , charging towards the demons ahead in a thunderous battle cry.

The warrior who stepped forward raised his chain saw axe, instantly shattering the face of a vampire. He suddenly pulled out the battle axe, raised the long handle high and roared. The battle brothers behind him rushed forward like a group of crazy sharks. Go up, and the terrifying roar makes even the demons of Khorne tremble.

Karl looked at the scene in front of him that he was destined to never forget. He looked at the blood flying everywhere, like a mirror image of the carnage in hell on earth. He raised his eyes and looked at the tall Terminator giant holding the fists of carnage and stepping on it. The piles of corpses on the ground walked towards the front door, leaving a long scarlet blood trail under his feet and behind him.

Karl looked at those terrifying Astartes. He couldn't even distinguish them from the Khorne demons for a while, but another explosion from the side interrupted Karl's thoughts and made his eyes turn away from the hellish scene. Move away.

He turned to look at the window on the side, where another explosion occurred, but the difference this time was that the explosion was a chaotic battleship. The body of the battleship sliding through the window was pierced by countless luminous pillars, in front of Karl. It tore out countless burning cracks and then exploded and disintegrated.

The body of the battleship was torn apart in the ferocious explosion. The detonated reactor exploded from the body, directly exploding it into a rain of steel that bloomed in all directions. In the center of the flying rain of burning iron, Karl saw A huge golden ship roared into the orbit of the planet.

On the back of the golden battleship, the light spear turret aimed at the surroundings and fired bright beams of light. The macro cannon on the side fired a salvo and hit a chaos battleship flying by. The battleship's void shield instantly broke the shield and was fired. After being hit, it burned with fire and became paralyzed.

Karl walked to the window and looked at the paralyzed battleship. He thought it could survive until the golden giant ship completed reloading, but Carl was wrong. The battleship exploded instantly. It was not the golden giant that destroyed him. ship, but another warship.

The huge battleship emerged from the flames, and behind it, countless propeller flames lit up from the starry sky. That was the empire's fleet.

Karl stood in front of the window, looking at the raging fire outside the window. This time, it was the turn of the traitors' blood to burn in the Milky Way. He turned his head and looked at the huge golden ship roaring and turning past the window. He looked to that side When he was slowly about to blurt out the name branded on the side of the ship, the communicator on his waist rang again.

"This is Admiral Speyer, all Imperial units, the Brotherhood of the Astartes, the Imperial Navy, in the name of the Emperor and the High Marshal, everyone, begin the counterattack!"
