Chapter 885 Battle on the Ground 1

"They're coming!"

Inside the cramped, narrow, suffocating bunker, a group of Astra Militarum soldiers were looking up at the sky with tense expressions and anxious eyes.

At the edge of the sky, extremely terrifying chaos demons fell from the sky like raindrops.

They are huge and twisted, exuding a creepy evil aura.

Those indestructible armored forces were completely powerless in the face of this terrifying force.

These Chaos Demons possess psychic powers beyond imagination. With just a simple gesture, they can easily reduce a heavy tank into a pile of scrap metal. In a split second, they can even use their powerful psychic powers to completely annihilate an entire army.

At this moment, the brave and fearless Astra Militarum soldiers had no other choice but to rely on their flesh and blood and tenacious will to continuously charge forward and fight for their lives.

However, it is not easy to destroy even one Chaos Demon, and it often requires the painful price of hundreds of soldiers' precious lives.

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, the situation of the Word Bearers Company was equally grim.

Although they were naturally immune to the erosion of chaotic forces, they were ultimately unable to withstand the surging and endless stream of enemies and were forced to retreat helplessly.

"Everyone, pay attention! Retreat towards the hive city immediately!" Captain Vegas Coin roared at the remaining members of the company at the top of his lungs.

His resolute and stern face was filled with solemnity at the moment, because their reinforcements were unfortunately blocked by the enemy on the road and could not arrive in time to provide support.

In the brutal battle just now, the captain of Vegas' company returned to the Golden Throne.

However, what is awe-inspiring is that at the last moment of his life, the company commander detonated the bomb on his body with immense courage and determination, successfully killing the terrible Nurgle demon who attempted to break through the defense line.

This feat not only gave the survivors a brief respite.

"We will do our best to cover your evacuation and break out from the east!"

Vegas, holding a powerful assault bolter, stood firmly in front of a solemn-looking nun.

After he quickly installed the last magazine full of ammunition, he raised his head and looked firmly at the dignified and solemn head nun in front of him.

"Impossible, we are the loyal servants of the Emperor and will never retreat or escape! I'm sorry, I cannot obey your orders, Angel." Sister Pace responded firmly.

Without hesitation, she inserted a sharp sword engraved with the imperial church's seal into her waist, and then quickly pushed the last magazine of the bolt pistol into the chamber.

"Vegas! We can't delay any longer, it's time to go!"

A tall, heavily armored Word Bearers Space Marine was seen walking towards Vegas with firm steps, holding a powerful-looking Type II Cawl bolt rifle engraved with the mark of purity.

Hearing the shout, Vegas slowly turned his head and looked at the comrade who walked up to him with a serious look.

After a moment's silence, he said in a deep voice: "If I die, you will be in command, Lieutenant." After saying this, Vegas' eyes flashed with determination and perseverance.

At this time, the situation in this area originally guarded by the Word Bearers had become extremely critical.

After a fierce battle, there were only less than two regiments of Astra Militarum soldiers left, still struggling to hold the defense line. In addition, there were several brave and fearless teams of nuns who were also fighting bravely, and they inspired morale with the power of faith.

Of course, the most core combat force is still the two hundred Space Marines of the Word Bearers Legion.

In the distance, the tanks corrupted by the power of Chaos were making a deafening roar.

They may have been just ordinary war machines in the past, but now they have gained evil consciousness under the erosion of Chaos and transformed into powerful offensive weapons in the Chaos forces.

These corrupted tanks rushed forward, launching continuous attacks on the defenders' positions.

"Go! Don't hesitate!"

Vegas shouted suddenly, and his voice exploded in the air like thunder.

Then, he raised the assault bolter in his hand and fired wildly at the Chaos warriors on the side without hesitation.

Powerful bombs whizzed out and hit the target accurately.

Only a series of dull explosions were heard, and the bodies of those Chaos Warriors were instantly blown into pieces, with blood splattering everywhere, and shocking blood flowers bloomed.

"go!"

Vegas and a dozen Word Bearers Space Marines covered their retreat, while not far away, hundreds of Chaos Warriors also discovered them.

"Be careful!" As the cry of surprise rang out, a shell came rushing towards us like lightning, carrying with it endless destructive power.

In an instant, the body of a Word Bearers Space Marine was blown to pieces in this horrific explosion, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Vegas, who was standing by, saw that the situation was not good, so he rolled over swiftly and quickly looked for cover.

Unfortunately, however, their whereabouts have been exposed to the Chaos Tanks' field of vision.

These terrifying war machines immediately locked onto them and began to attack with concentrated firepower without hesitation.

"Emperor above! Please grant strength to your loyal servant!"

Faced with such a desperate situation, Vegas showed no intention of backing down.

He roared and threw away the grenade launcher in his hand that had run out of bullets, then drew out a gleaming chainsword from his waist in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, another shell whizzed in. This shell was extremely fast, even faster than the speed of sound, but Vegas, relying on his years of experience and keen reaction, dodged the fatal blow by moving sideways.

Then, he rushed towards the Chaos Tank like a tiger.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Accompanied by the deafening roar of the engine, the chainsaw sword spun at high speed, its teeth flashing a terrifying light.

In the blink of an eye, Vegas rushed to the Chaos Tank. He used all his strength to thrust the sword into the tank's thick armor.

Something unexpected happened. The Chaos Tank that was hit actually let out a shrill roar like that of a living creature.

As if it felt great pain and fear, it struggled desperately to throw Vegas off its body.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The sound of metal cutting continued to ring out. Vegas gripped the hilt of the chainsword tightly, and then at the moment of cutting through the Chaos Tank's armor, a grenade was thrown into the tank.
