Chapter 641: Veteran of Insect Warfare
"Alien, feel the power of humanity!"
Following this roar, the sergeant of the Ultramarines Legion pointed the muzzle of the plasma pistol in his hand at the axe-blade worm in front of him without hesitation.
The monster's abdomen was already broken, but he did not hesitate at all and pulled the trigger decisively.
In an instant, a huge amount of energy gushed out from the muzzle, forming a dazzling light blue beam that hit the axe worm's broken abdomen directly.
The high temperature and powerful energy immediately shattered the axe-blade worm's chest, and then blasted a huge bloody hole in its body.
"Disgusting bug!" The sergeant cursed as he quickly turned his wrist and used the chainsaw sword in his hand to cut off the bone blade of the axe worm.
His movements were smooth and ferocious, showing his excellent fighting skills.
Looking at the other stunned crew members around him, Space Marine Sergeant Bullos frowned slightly. His voice was low and majestic: "The joints of this creature are relatively fragile. Next time you attack, remember to concentrate your firepower on the joints of this monster." He glanced at the soldiers around him, his tone was serious and a little reproachful.
Hearing this, the other soldiers nodded to show that they understood.
They realize that there were problems with their previous attack methods, and now with clear instructions, they will be more effective in fighting these terrible enemies.
Space Marine Sergeant Burrus nodded with satisfaction, then sheathed his chainsword and put his overheated plasma pistol back on his waist.
His eyes were firm and calm, and he seemed full of confidence in the upcoming battle.
At this time, the leading Astra Militarum major and Marine sergeant performed the Sky Eagle salute, then half-knelt on the ground to express their respect for this powerful Space Marine sergeant.
"Greetings to you, angel."
Odek placed his hands on his chest and performed a standard Sky Eagle salute.
"What are our plans next?"
"You continue to hold on here, and our team will go and clean up the filth on the lower deck."
Burles killed a few fighting insects that approached him, and then spoke to the people beside him.
"Lieutenant Burroughs!"
Several more Space Marines rushed over, holding bolters, flamethrowers, or melta guns and walking quickly to Bullos' side.
"Wilt, keep up the pace and don't let those disgusting bugs dig your chest open."
Burress glanced at Wilt and the others who followed him, and then his low voice slowly sounded from under his helmet.
As a veteran of the Zerg War, Burrus had witnessed with his own eyes billions of mortal auxiliary troops being devoured by the boundless Tyranid Zerg.
The Swarm War Veterans, often referred to as simply Veterans, are a special group of elite combat units within the Ultramarines Legion dedicated to combating and eliminating the Tyranid threat to the galaxy.
These brave warriors have gone through countless fierce battles, accumulated rich experience and skills, and become experts in fighting against the Zerg.
The origins of the Zerg Veterans can be traced back to a series of fierce battles when Macragge defended Macragge from an invasion by Hive Fleet Behemoth/Behemoth Tentacle Fleet.
During this brutal war, many Ultramarines bravely gave their lives to stop the first invasion of the Great Devourer.
However, those few warriors who were lucky enough to survive the sea of Zerg have grown into experts in dealing with Zerg after being baptized by war.
These Zerg veterans have not only accumulated valuable experience in their own ongoing battles with the Zerg, but have also passed on this knowledge to their other Space Marine brothers, helping them better deal with the Zerg threat.
It was due to their efforts that many planets were spared from the subsequent Zerg invasion.
However, the creation of such a new elite force is not without controversy.
For the Ultramarines, this kind of specialized force that goes against the holy code is almost unprecedented.
But faced with the increasingly severe Zerg threat, they had to make changes to protect the future of mankind.
Perhaps not surprisingly, there is some opposition among the Ultramarines to recognizing the Veterans of the Swarm War as a unit.
Despite the urging of the Holy Master himself to form such a team, many Chapter Captains considered the violation of the Codex Astartes to be an unthinkable fallacy.
(The Astartes Codex loses a lot of points every day)
Those horrific scenes are still vivid in Burroughs' mind, becoming a shadow in his heart that can never be erased.
The boundless Zerg Hive Fleet defeated the Imperial Navy's defenses. The huge Moon-class battleships were swallowed up like snacks by the Tyranid biological battleships, and then transformed into endless swarms that pounced on the defenders on the ground.
At that time, Burrus was defending the surface of Macragge. He witnessed how his battle brothers were devoured by the Tyranid monsters one after another. Even the Terminators as strong as steel could be easily killed by a single tear in front of the Tyranid tyrant.
Therefore, he was full of hatred and disgust towards these evil creatures.
"Continue the assault!"
Following Burress's order, they began to move forward slowly and steadily.
As the five Space Marines moved towards the lower deck, the node creature that had landed on the battleship began to give the next commands.
At this time, the dim cabin was covered in blood, and the surrounding steel walls were also covered with bullet holes and scratches.
"It can be seen that the defenders here must have resisted until the last moment. May they return to the Golden Throne."
Burroughs looked at the empty magazine and the smashed automatic rifle on the ground, then sighed.
Many people have misunderstandings about automatic guns and laser guns. Let me put it this way, the power of automatic guns is no less than that of laser guns, and they are even better than laser guns in some aspects. Moreover, whether it is PDF, Astra Militarum, or the armed forces of other departments, automatic guns are distributed on a large scale.
So don’t think that automatic guns are better than laser guns when dealing with insect swarms.
"It's the same situation as the Battle of Macragge. Although the enemy this time is not as strong as the Terran, it makes no difference to these ordinary soldiers..." Burrus watched all this with emotion.
Burrus recalled everything again. The biological warships that covered the sky and the sun were like dark clouds above Macragge, and the densely packed Tyranid beasts landed on the surface of Macragge like raindrops.
"Attention! Something's happening!"
The Space Marine walking in the front raised his grenade launcher and aimed it at the dark cabin.
