Chapter 924, Can't Stop It

Chapter 924, Can't Stop It
The troops led by Martins were much smaller than the main force of the Chaos Army.

In terms of numbers alone, the original church defenders had at least one Army Skeleton Division, which had more than 40,000 troops.

The number of people brought by Martins this time includes about 9,000 people from the airborne brigade, and including other troops, the total number certainly does not exceed 13,000.

As for the defenders of the church, although there were still nearly 20,000 survivors, there were wounded everywhere and not much heavy equipment left. They could basically be considered to have been destroyed and could be ignored.

And even though their enemy, the Chaos Army, lost some troops here due to a failed landing site encirclement and suppression battle, the remaining part still numbered more than 400,000.

But it's no use.

The troops led by Martins himself still cut through them like a hot knife through butter.

The Chaos Legion cannot be stopped at all.

The most important difference is that the alliance forces are so elite.

Led by Martins, the Space Marines, mainly Phoenixes, rushed forward. Although there were nearly a thousand Space Marines in the Chaos Legion, the number was almost the same as that brought by Martins, but the individual strength was far inferior, and they could not be stopped at all if they were rushed to the face.

Among them, Martins, as the top combat force, can play an unscrupulous role.

There is no one in the Chaos Legion who can compete with Martins.

There are also Chaos Champions who don't believe in evil and try to stop and challenge Martins.

However, their fate was no different from the one that was killed by Martins earlier.

So far, Martins has not encountered anyone who can withstand his second blow.

Even though the opponent gathered several masters to besiege Martins at the same time and try to stop his advance, the result was the same.

It simply means that instead of having to spend some time looking for the second person to kill after killing one with one sword, Martins can now immediately follow up with the next sword and kill the next person.

This attempt to intercept, organized by the Chaos Legion, only accelerated their collapse.

When all the Chaos forces that dared to intercept the human army's assault head-on were ruthlessly crushed, although the entire Chaos Army had a size of more than 400,000, and perhaps only 50,000 to 60,000 were killed, in fact, the most core force had been wiped out.

Eighty percent of the thousands of Chaos Space Marines who were the backbone of the Chaos Army were slaughtered; the Chaos Wizards in the Chaos Legion wanted to gather together and launch a counterattack, but they fell into the human's trap and were targeted by the Lawbreakers.

The 'Insensitives' led by ten 'Unleaked' rushed to the front directly under the cover of hundreds of Space Marines. The subspace storm just made a little movement, and it was suppressed in an instant. Those Chaos wizards, the milder reactions were just nausea and vomiting blood; the more serious reactions were directly exploded, and the bodies were not intact on the spot.

Subsequently, the Chaos Legion's command center was also destroyed.

At this point, they were essentially finished.

It was at this time that Martins stopped his attack and returned to the church area with his troops.

Even if the enemy still had 300,000 or so soldiers, it would not be a big deal. The entire team was scattered and had lost its ability to attack.

But if he had to catch and kill all the Chaos Soldiers and Chaos Believers, it would be too much effort, so he didn't do that.

The troops on hand are still a little short.

He led his troops back to the church defense line.

……

Entering the catacombs of the church, Martins nodded to the twenty Yulin soldiers. As expected, their fighting power did not disappoint Martins, and they killed all the enemies in the catacombs without any casualties.

He also met the captain of the Banyan Lizard named Tulsa.

Martins was generous in his praise for this loyal soldier.

"Your glorious deeds will make the entire Banyan Lizard Chapter proud. You and your battle brothers will be engraved in the history of the Alliance with the names of Banyan Lizards."

Tulsa is excited!
Although he still felt sad about the 80% casualties among his brothers in the regiment, he now felt that all the sacrifices were worth it.

They completed the mission, they held out until reinforcements arrived, and before that they prevented the Chaos enemy from taking away the mission target.

They have also earned glory for their heroic deeds. The Chapter will be proud of them, and the Alliance will be proud of them.

What's there to be dissatisfied about?
After gently asking Tulsa to go down and rest, Martins and his researchers began to look at the "thing" in front of them.

"Can you open this coffin?"

A ruling bishop from the Mechanicus who was constantly tapping on the data panel said in a muffled voice: "It is not recommended to do this... We know nothing about it. If we act rashly, it may not only cause danger, but also destroy this thing."

His voice sounded like an ordinary electronic synthesized sound, but Martins could still hear a sense of fanaticism in it.

It's also easy to understand.

Perhaps for this ruling bishop, this thing is the opportunity for him to be promoted to a sage.

Martins said in a deep voice: "Can it be transferred?"

On the other hand, a scholar from the Psionic Order said, "It is not recommended to do so. Based on the previous actions of the Chaos traitors, we can roughly analyze that it is useless to transfer the physical carrier of this thing only through physical means. Otherwise, they would have carried the coffin away long ago."

Now it was Martins' turn to find things a little tricky.

It was true that they had won the immediate battle, and the Chaos army on the ground had indeed been defeated.

However, their real main force is the Disaster Fleet in the sky, which still exists.

This 'thing' seems to be quite important, and the Disaster Fleet will probably not give up.

The area they are currently in is controlled by the Disaster Fleet, so it will be very convenient for them to replenish their forces and restructure the command system of the ground forces.

I estimate that within two days, they will launch another attack.

However, our fleet is still in orbit on the other side of the planet, so it would be much more difficult to replenish our forces than our opponents.

What's more, Martins also had to worry about the enemy's orbital bombardment.

Although they had not encountered similar troubles in the previous battle, they did not bomb the church area, most likely because they did not want to affect this "thing", rather than being merciful.

But if it becomes impossible to win, it is hard to say whether they will let go of their reservations.

Thinking of this, Martins gave the order:
"Find out what this thing is, and find out how to take it away. I will buy you as much time as possible, but you must speed up."

"understand!"
