Chapter 461 "Children, Throw Yourself Into the Arms of Your Loving Father"

"Children--"

The unnamed Nurgle demon looked down at Tiberus and the company guards from a high place.

Although its rotten, swollen body exuded a disgusting stench and corruption, its tone was surprisingly "gentle", even with a strange "loving" tone.

"+Throw yourself into the arms of a loving father+--"

It spoke in a low but extremely clear voice, and the fishy air overflowed from its mouth with the words, as if there was an ominous psychic resonance between each byte.

"You will gain the true meaning of all things in the world and have eternal and immortal life--hehe~"

The corners of its cracked mouth opened wider with laughter, revealing a row of uneven teeth due to decay, and a sticky abyss-like darkness.

Although the tone seemed "kind", every word made people feel the coldness in the depths of their souls, as if being stared at by a venomous snake.

The atmosphere of the battlefield around was also extremely strange.

Those Nurgle believers and demon servants all slowed down their frantic offensive.

They no longer screamed and roared, but surrounded Tiberus and others as if controlled by some will.

The psychic energy emitted by these corrupt creatures was like a quagmire, oppressing the surrounding air, and even the corrupt swamp on the ground seemed to become more turbid.

The center of the entire battlefield became extremely quiet, with only the low and slow "breathing" of the Nurgle demon echoing around.

Even so, this strange tranquility hides a deadly threat, like the calm before the storm.

Those corrupt heretics are waiting for Tiberus's response, even with a twisted expectation.

They know that the Astartes' loyalty to the Emperor is indestructible, but they still try to grant Tiberus and others the so-called "grace" in the name of "kind father", adding more corrupt souls to this Chaos invasion.

The low roar of the chain saw power claw broke the original silent atmosphere.

Ri~嘡嘡嘡——! ! !

Without any hesitation, Tiberus directly made the muzzle of the rotating bolt gun spit out dazzling flames, and countless high-explosive bolts drew a series of dazzling trajectories and rushed towards the Great Demon of Nurgle.

Puff-puff-!

In an instant, a large number of high-explosive bolts successfully "drilled" into the body of the Great Demon of Nurgle, causing the swollen and rotten body to splash pus and emit a more pungent stench.

Bang. Bang.

But strangely, the explosion caused by the bolt seemed meaningless.

After all, the Great Demon's body is woven from rotten meat and psychic energy. Whenever the pustules explode, new tissues will fill them in an instant.

Swish-swish-!

Seeing that the high-explosive bolts could not work, Tiberus quickly switched weapons and let the tactical equivalent metal hydrogen missiles shoot out from the micro-launch chamber, and drew a bright arc in the air, accurately covering the Great Demon of Nurgle and the Chaos Demons gathered around it.

Swish~————Boom-boom————! !

The next moment, a series of explosions shook the entire battlefield.

After the metal hydrogen missiles came into contact with the target, they instantly released high temperature and strong pressure, like a "light ball" of a miniature sun, which bloomed violently with the portal as the center, and the violent shock wave spread wildly around with high-temperature air waves.

This made the entire area seem to be completely torn apart. The corrupted swamp near the portal was directly evaporated by the scorching explosion, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt stench and distorted psychic energy.

Even Tiberus and the company guards could not be completely spared.

Their shields kept flashing dazzling waves, indicating that they had endured a huge energy impact.

But.

The figure of the Nurgle Demon still did not disappear.

When the aftermath of the explosion gradually dissipated, the huge corrupted body slowly appeared. It stood in place. Although the abscesses and festering tissues on its body were damaged, they were healing quickly.

Hehe——Hehe——!

The laughter of the demon echoed in the smoke-filled battlefield, with creepy pity and ridicule.

The situation in front of us is quite clear.

With the current firepower of the Shark Company, it is impossible to cause substantial damage to the Great Demon of Nurgle, let alone completely destroy the twisted and terrifying portal.

As time goes by, more demons and heretics are pouring into this corrupted battlefield, and the situation is becoming more and more critical.

"Everyone bypass the central area and retreat to the north! The guards will cover me."

Tiberus decisively issued the order to retreat.

His tone was calm and firm, without a trace of dragging his feet.

This company commander is not incapable of flexibility. Fighting to the death will only make the situation worse, and concentrating the combat power to withdraw to the northern entrance and exit is the only reasonable choice at present.

The Sharks who received the order quickly adjusted their formation. They no longer tried to "head-on" fight against the increasingly powerful Chaos wave in front of them, but stabbed left and right, gradually tearing open the weak points of the enemy formation and opening up a way for retreat.

At the northern entrance and exit, the Fourth Armored Division of the Auxiliary Army was stationed.

The Mammoth Mobile Fortress and various heavy vehicles, as well as long-range artillery and missiles, can provide the necessary firepower cover for the Shark Company.

But retreat is not easy.

The shield power of many Sharks has been seriously consumed, and the surface of some Sharks' titanium armor is covered with scorch marks and corrosion.

The Sharks at the front and periphery use their own chainsaw swords, chainsaw axes and other melee weapons to fight against the influx of heretics and chaotic creatures.

And after Nurgle's side obtained the "new force" through the portal, they began to launch a "psionic impact" unscrupulously.

I saw an overwhelming "green fluorescence" that exuded a corrupt atmosphere and pounced on the main force of the Man-Eating Shark Company.

This caused the energy shields of the man-eating sharks to be damaged again. Some of the brothers did not even have a chance to overload the cold fusion reactor, so they fell heavily to the ground and lost their lives.

However, even if a small number of brothers fell, more man-eating sharks were still struggling to "slaughter", covering the main brothers' rapid retreat to the north.

The angry metal war cry drowned out the strange screams of heretics and demons in a short time.

Taboros chose to have the company evacuate towards the north because most of the air units were severely affected and destroyed the moment the portal opened.

If we call the fleet to send more landing craft and transport aircraft, and risk passing through the gap tunnel to meet them, it will only waste time and retreat opportunities.

As for the remaining clones, terminators, and predators, they will take the rear with Tiberos and the Company Guard.

For Tiberos, all living things and mechanical weapons without souls and consciousness are disposable assets.

The special agent team led by Chris originally wanted to break up with Tiberius and others.

But he knew clearly that the big demon in front of him was an extraordinary existence. Just relying on their group of "human beings" and the weapons in their hands was no different from the original tactics.

The helmet screen kept flashing the "Retreat" command prompt, and at the same time showed that there was a rapidly expanding chaotic psychic field around the portal.

Everything made Chris understand that if his team of agents did not evacuate quickly, they would only pay meaningless sacrifices.

Immediately, Chris led more than a dozen agents to break through to the north.

They spared no effort in remaining ammunition and kept a distance from the demons and heretics around them. At the same time, they quickly shuttled between the ruins and finally integrated into the evacuating man-eating shark company.

In the core area of ​​the battlefield, the huge and rotten body of the Nurgle Demon was still approaching Tiberos unhurriedly.

"Haha - they are indeed the children who are valued by a loving father. They indeed have noble moral character."

The demon let out a deep laugh, his voice mixed with chilling pity and ridicule.

Instead of rushing into a deadly attack, it approached the position of Taberos and the company guards with a certain leisurely and malicious contentment.

The terrifying figure intertwined with rotten muscles and psychic aura is like a moving relief of death, which looks particularly ferocious amidst the smoke and blood.

Taboros ignored the other party.

While waving his arms vigorously, he let the chain saw's power claws tear apart any bastards who dared to get close. At the same time, he adjusted his pace and worked with the company guards to contain the wave of demons and cover the safe evacuation of his brothers.

Even if the company commander chose to go head-on with Nurgle's forces due to his own error in judgment, resulting in casualties among his brothers and was furious, he knew that what was needed at this moment was not to continue to show off, but to continue to implement the retreat strategy.

The movements of the Great Demon of Nurgle seemed clumsy and slow, but they carried a strange sense of oppression.

It caused the huge sword covered with rust and moss to slowly rise, and then slashed towards Tiberos at an incredible speed.

As he swung it, the air was filled with the smell of decay and moisture, and the surface of the giant sword faintly flashed with vicious spiritual light.

The speed was so fast that even the company guards could not clearly capture the trajectory of the giant sword.

Zheng————! ! !

However, a harsh metal "crow" echoed in this chaotic underground city.

At the critical moment, Tiberos turned around quickly, raised his arms high, and the chain saw power claws beating with scarlet lightning accurately met the great sword of Nurgle.

The two clashed with dazzling sparks, and the corrupting power from the warp and the essence of the imperial technology collided fiercely.

But Nurgle's power is extraordinary.

The impact of the giant sword was like a mountain pouring down. Even though Tiberos' physique was unusual for an Astartes and he was wearing exclusive Terminator power armor, he could not fully bear it.

Immediately, Taboros was forced back by this terrifying force, and his feet made deep marks on the ground. Eventually, his body completely lost his balance and flew backwards.

Boom—bang!

He hit a guard brother hard, and the two men's power armor made a low metal collision sound during the collision.

The ruins where the two of them were were filled with rubble and rubble.

The oppressive performance of the Great Demon of Nurgle made the atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly tense, but its ferocity did not weaken the guard's fighting will.

! ! !

When Captain Tyburos was "disintegrated" by a blow from the giant sword, the company guards immediately responded with action.

嘡嘡嘡——!

Ri~——Phew! !

In an instant, the heavy bolts and plasma cannons spit out tongues of fire and intertwined into a fiery metal storm, submerging the figure of the Great Demon Nurgle in continuous explosions and dazzling sparks.

"For the honor of the company!!"

"kill!!"

The more than ten company guards are even more "hot-blooded", wielding long-handled chain axes and power spears, ready to tear and pierce the bloated belly of the Great Demon of Nurgle.

Rou~——Bang——Bang! !

But with a piercing roar that broke through the sky, the Great Demon Nurgle swept out the rusty giant sword, and the blade even brought a dark green trail of "poisonous" spiritual energy.

In the blink of an eye, the energy shields of the charging company guards collapsed one after another, and the Titanium Tank armor was torn apart by the giant sword like paper.

Puff——!

After the sword flashed, blood and flesh flew all over the battlefield.

More than a dozen company guards were cut in half, and some were directly separated from their bodies, with their limbs and fragments scattered all over the ground.

"Cough, bastard, cough. Go to hell!"

One of the company guards had only the upper half of his body left, but he still crawled forward with a tenacious will.

While cursing the Great Demon of Nurgle, he activated the overload program of the reactor.

Boom——Boom——!!

A dazzling glare burst out at his position, and the explosion caused by the overload of the reactor was like a small nuclear explosion, turning the center of the battlefield into a blazing purgatory.

The huge body of the Great Demon of Nurgle was instantly engulfed by the high temperature and impact, and the shock wave generated by the explosion spread to the surroundings, briefly making the battlefield quiet.

Unfortunately, when the glare faded, the Nurgle Demon was still intact, and even the rotten skin on the surface had no trace of burns.

Because a faint psychic barrier, like an invisible barrier, isolated it from the physical attacks from the outside world and protected this fat guy.

This shows that ordinary physical attacks are not enough to kill it, or even injure it.

"Haha. In vain, children, just throw yourself into the arms of your loving father."

The Nurgle Demon laughed low, and the smell of decay and bacteria mixed in the laughter made the air even more polluted.

Its fat body trembled slightly, as if it didn't take the offensive in front of it seriously at all, and continued to move forward with a slow but oppressive pace.

At the same time, at the entrance and exit at the north end of the underground city;

Boom-boom--!

The 4th Armored Division of the Auxiliary Army had already completed the battle deployment, using the canyon terrain at the entrance and exit as a defense line, and launched a fierce artillery attack on the heretic wave.

The thunderous sound of artillery fire echoed continuously, and artillery of various calibers fired in succession, tearing apart a large number of enemies in the depths of the canyon and covering the evacuating Shark Company.

The auxiliary troops, clones, and various creatures and mechanical weapons between the armored units also took advantage of the "high-altitude" geographical advantage to launch precise blocking attacks on the sporadic heretics and demons who tried to break through the blockade.

Looking down from the air, the fire and smoke intertwined to form an extremely fierce battlefield scene.

But among them, there were also the Marines who had almost no presence.

"."

Charlie, standing on the top of the Mammoth, with the auxiliary vision of the helmet and the real-time information provided by the slightly reduced radar, was able to let him know the current battle situation at the first time.

He could hardly believe that the Astartes Company, as strong as the Shark, could not defeat the Chaos forces from the subspace, and had to choose to evacuate.
