Chapter 460 "Hehe Kid, You Are so Brave"

Chapter 460 "Haha. My child, your courage is commendable——"

boom--! !

As the laughter spread and the light suddenly appeared, shock waves visible to the naked eye spread like a gust of wind from the area marked by Tiberos, sweeping across the entire underground city in an instant.

This shock wave is different from the ordinary explosion effect. It is not the impact caused by the expanding gas pushing the surrounding medium and the compressed air. It seems to contain strange and crazy spiritual energy fluctuations, as if the power from the depths of subspace has torn apart the reality. rule.

Countless clone soldiers who were marching had no time to react, and were knocked to the ground by the overwhelming impact. Some were thrown several meters away and hit the ruins of the wall hard;

The even more unfortunate clones were thrown into the swamp with bubbles of corruption and were swallowed up instantly without leaving even a trace of struggle.

The intensity of the shock wave even forced the man-eating sharks to steady their pace. Their thick titanium armor made bursts of harsh sounds of metal friction, showing the terrifying force of the impact.

Chris and his team of agents hid behind the ruins of the surrounding collapsed buildings in time and barely avoided the frontal impact.

Still, their helmet displays flickered with psychic interference, filling their ears with a jarring, unsettling electronic noise.

However, the Thunderhawk gunships, various types of aerial hunters, and carrier-based aircraft are not as lucky as the ground units.

No physical damage was detected on conventional instruments, and even all indicators of the flight system showed normal operation.

However, these air units seemed to be bound by an invisible force and completely lost their flight stability.

They were dangling above, and finally had to make an emergency landing. Some even crashed directly to the ground, making a deafening sound of metal twisting.

In other words, the two Knight mechas were "safe and sound".

However, the aerial bombs of the two Knight mechas were shot empty, so they had to return first to resupply.

After a few seconds, the shock wave finally dissipated.

The originally noisy underground city fell into an unprecedented eerie silence.

All sounds seemed to have been pulled away, there was no reverberation of the explosion, no reverberation of the battle, and even the subtle sound of the bubbles bursting in the corrupted swamp no longer existed.

This dead silence suppressed everyone's nerves, and the entire underground city seemed to be frozen instantly.

Chris raised his head, using the vision aid of the helmet screen, to observe the area marked by Tiberos.

Everything there has been reshaped by the impact of psychic energy.

What came into view was a huge, vortex-shaped portal emitting green light, with a radius of at least a hundred meters wide.

Fluorescent ripples spread outward from the center of the vortex, giving people an indescribable ominous feeling.

Around that door, the unique aura of subspace cracks was constantly surging, and it seemed that more terrifying existences would appear from it at any time.

"."

Chris looked solemnly at the vortex-shaped portal in front of him, and instantly understood the seriousness of the situation.

Obviously, the Chaos believers with Jiralhanae and Jackals at their core have completed some kind of filthy and complicated sacrificial ritual.

This ritual may involve the souls and flesh of a large number of human traitors, or these heretics may have willingly dedicated their bodies and souls to the evil god.

Regardless of the method, the barrier between reality and the warp has been forcibly torn apart, resulting in the successful opening of this green fluorescent psychic portal, which represents the imminent arrival of more chaotic creatures.

Ordinary demons are still within the controllable range, but the most worrying threat is the great demon under the evil god, who can also "descend" to the physical universe through the portal and enter the underground city.

If this is the case, the entire battlefield will be overturned in an instant, and may even pose an immeasurable threat to the empire's wider territory.

To be honest, Chris judged based on the current situation, and the best plan was to evacuate this place immediately.

After all, Kuikantuo is just an abandoned planet and has no strategic value.

It has neither Imperial residents nor key facilities or assets of the Empire, let alone contains scarce minerals.

In other words, this is a land that is completely disposable.

From the perspective of the empire's macroeconomic interests, it is simply not worth taking the huge risk to entangle with heretics and demons.

The core force currently participating in the war is the Man-Eating Shark Company led by Tiberos.

Known for their powerful close combat capabilities and extraordinary tactical literacy, these "sharks" are rare elite troops in the empire. To exhaust the entire company's combat power for a doomed battle is tantamount to strategic disaster.

Although the heretics may have some intelligence that reveals Chaos' invasion of the empire's territory, the value of this information obviously cannot make up for the cost of losing an entire company.

Therefore, Chris quickly formulated a best course of action in his mind——

Evacuate immediately.

Before the war situation has completely deteriorated, they should immediately withdraw to low-Earth orbit and use the absolute firepower of the orbital fleet to impose an "extermination order" on Kuikang Tuo.

Under this tactic, the devastating blow of high-energy weapons can turn the entire planet into scorched earth, completely annihilating all heretics and demons, while ensuring that no one escapes the net.

This decision can not only avoid heavy casualties to our own troops, but also fundamentally eliminate the long-term threat that the enemy may pose.

But Chris also knew that the prerequisite for implementing this plan was to convince Tiberius to retreat.

After a brief understanding, Chris judged that Tiberus was a resolute and tough person, and he might not give up the current battle easily.

Thinking of this, Chris turned his head to look at Tiberus at the front of the battle line, and was about to speak to propose a retreat.

However, before he could say anything, he heard the other party's cold and firm voice in the communication channel:

"All man-eating sharks, charge to the marked area and solve this group of heretics once and for all!"

Before the voice fell, Tiberus had already taken a step and turned into a gray afterimage, so fast that Chris's visual system could hardly catch it.

In an instant, Tiberus disappeared in the shadow of the ruins in front.

Following closely behind were the company guards and thousands of man-eating sharks.

Fueled by anger, they burst out a soul-stirring metallic war cry.

The war cry seemed to carry endless enthusiasm and fighting spirit, echoing throughout the underground city.

Their titanium armor reflected a cold light in the green fluorescence and the shadow of the ruins, and they followed their captain to rush towards the enemy camp.

All the company guards and more than a thousand man-eating sharks issued metallic war roars and followed their captain to move forward.

As for the clone soldiers who obeyed the order unconditionally, they also gave up defense and launched a charge.

On the other hand, the believers and heretics who served Nurgle were also in a crazy state of excitement at this moment.

They made heavy nasal sounds and strange roars, with crazy and chaotic tones, mixed with unrecognizable strange languages ​​and chaos spells.

The heretic army surged from the direction of the portal like a green wave, including groups of ghost-faced beasts, jackals, and deformed monsters with a foul smell.

All this foreshadowed the complete outbreak of the power of chaos.

Looking down from above, the battlefield presents a very impactful picture;

The "iron torrent" composed of thousands of man-eating sharks, like a sharp "grey spear", tore a gap in the "green wave" of heretics.

The fierce collision caused scattered flesh and metal fragments. Every time the bolt gun fired, it meant that another fanatic in the heretics fell, and every roar of the plasma cannon tore the deformed monsters to pieces.

Even though the Nurgle believers fought back frantically with a posture of never giving up, facing the unstoppable force of the man-eating sharks, their front gradually cracked.

The focus of the battle quickly moved towards the vortex portal, which was emitting green fluorescence and connecting the "entrance and exit" of the subspace and the physical universe, and was becoming the core of all conflicts.

The roar of the man-eating sharks, the roar of the heretics, and the roar of the weapons intertwined into a chaotic and heroic symphony of death, playing the prelude to this hellish fight.

The tip of the "grey spear" was none other than the sturdy Tiberos, who was as strong as a mobile fortress.

After the man-eating shark captain finished resupplying his ammunition, he was like an awakened steel beast, advancing rapidly towards the center of the enemy camp.

The micro-metal hydrogen missiles with tactical equivalent and the rotating bolt machine gun were madly outputting, annihilating and piercing through the rotten flesh and blood of countless heretics.

As for the chain saw power claws on both arms, they were Tiberos's close combat weapon.

Every swing would make a sharp roar, and the tooth-like saw blades would cut the unfortunate guys who approached into a bloody mess, and start a wanton slaughter.

Behind Tiberos and on his left and right were more than a hundred company guards responsible for coordination. The power hammers and chain saw axes in their hands directly smashed and chopped the heretics.

Blood clots were flying and blood mist was everywhere.

However, this charge was not without cost.

Although the fighting power of the Shark Company far exceeds that of ordinary Astartes, it is still difficult to avoid casualties in the absence of fire support from air units and when they penetrate deep into the enemy camp.

The Nurgle believers' front is not only full of corrupted traps and highly contagious poisons, but also countless small but deadly "Nurglings".

These small demons will take advantage of the soldiers' inability to pay attention to the changes around them, and quickly swarm up and bite the weak points of the armor, further eroding the energy shield and protection system.

A Shark Gunner was besieged by thousands of Nurglings when he switched to the shock dagger and prepared to retreat to the rear of his brothers because his ammunition was empty.

They frantically climbed on the surface of the power armor, making sharp gnawing sounds, and gradually eroded his energy shield.

And more than a dozen jackals with self-destructive properties took the opportunity to "get close to his face" -

Boom! Boom!!

The swollen miasma glands in the body emit a strong stench, and the dense explosions shatter the machine gunner's shield, and the entire area is covered with green poisonous fog and debris.

The brothers nearby are unable to come to support because of the obstruction of vision and the siege of a large number of heretics.

The Nurglings and other heretics have completely surrounded the machine gunner and forced him into a desperate situation.

Feeling the rupture and destruction of the power armor and nano suit, the machine gunner knows that his fate is irreversible. He decisively activates the cold fusion reactor overload program of the power armor.

At the end, he still waved the shock dagger and shouted on the communication channel:

"For the Emperor! For my father! Hahahaha, all of you die~!!"

Ri~——咻——! ! !

As the voice fell, a blazing white light column suddenly rose, and the energy of the explosion instantly engulfed all the heretic creatures around.

The sacrifice of this machine gunner opened a bigger breakthrough for the company, and also aroused the anger of all the brothers.

They accelerated their speed, which was already turning into afterimages, and vowed to tear all the Nurgle believers into pieces to avenge their sacrificed brothers.

On the side of Tiberus.

"Captain Tiberus! We must evacuate! Evacuate to orbit and let the fleet execute the extermination order, otherwise all this is meaningless!"

In the communication channel, Chris's voice was extremely urgent.

I saw Chris and more than a dozen agents actually followed the pace of the man-eating shark and rushed into the line of the Nurgle believers.

With superb tactics and flexible actions, they opened up a narrow but effective passage in the surging waves of the enemy.

At this time, they were less than a kilometer away from the vortex portal emitting a strange green fluorescence.

However, closer to the portal than Chris and others were Tiberus and his more than 100 company guards.

They have arrived in front of the portal, standing in the deepest part of the heresy and corrupt swamps. Their magnetic boots are covered with smelly mud and the rotten fluid splashed by the enemy, but they still maintain a fighting posture.

The man-eating shark captain ignored Chris's suggestion. His helmet monitor "eyes" were firmly locked on the huge figure that was slowly emerging in the vortex portal.

A low humming laugh, accompanied by green psychic light and pungent stench, came from the depths of the portal.

An extremely large figure fully appeared, with a height of fifteen meters.

Every step taken by the huge body would leave deep marks in the corrupt mud.

Its skin was swollen due to corruption and necrosis, like a corrupt moving mountain, and the epidermis was covered with moss-like boils and pustules, each of which was like a tumor that could burst at any time.

What was disgusting was that those pustules and boils burst from time to time, and countless Nurglings and fat, wriggling maggots gushed out from them.

They rushed out of the body of this terrifying being, and then drilled back into its rotten and smelly flesh in an even more disgusting way.

It was obvious that the guy that Tiberus looked up at had appearance characteristics and various signs that showed that he was one of the great demons under Nurgle.

However, Tiberus did not know the other party's name and title for the time being.

When the feet of this great demon completely stepped into the physical universe, its low and hoarse voice echoed throughout the battlefield, with a penetrating power that seemed to directly affect the soul:

"Hehe. Kid, your courage is commendable--"

Its voice was like a rotten thick liquid flowing through a rusty pipe, making everyone who heard it feel heavy in their hearts.

This condescending tone seemed to have regarded Tiberus and all the imperial soldiers present as playthings.
