Chapter 893: Mortals who Attract Firepower

"All regimental and company-level units, end the retreat order! End the retreat order! Restart the attack! Repeat! End the retreat order! Restart the attack!"

On a battlefield filled with smoke and flames, every Astra Militarum officer who was retreating in a hurry suddenly received an urgent communication order from the headquarters.

After they heard this order, they all showed disbelief, or even extreme shock, on their faces.

"Those damn guys in the command center! Did those damn devils kick their brains? In the current situation, what's the difference between continuing to stay here and wasting precious time!!" An emotional Astra Militarum officer roared angrily and smashed the auspicious instrument in his hand to the ground.

However, after a brief venting, he calmed down a little and fell into deep thought.

Although his heart was still filled with resentment, the officer finally sighed helplessly.

"All soldiers of the 899th Company of the 46th Infantry Regiment, listen up! Swear in the name of the great Emperor! The retreat order just issued is canceled immediately. Everyone immediately turn around and bravely advance towards our position again!"

Similar scenes continued to unfold throughout the rear of the battlefield, as some soldiers, out of extreme fear and despair, still tried to escape from this brutal killing ground.

But unfortunately, their actions were soon discovered by the political commissar in charge of supervising the battle.

Faced with the deserters, the political commissar raised his bolt pistol without hesitation and ruthlessly gave them the so-called "merciful relief".

At the same time, as powerful commands sounded, the artillery units that had already begun to retreat quickly adjusted their status, took action, and entered cover positions; while the well-equipped armored units were on high alert, ready to launch a charge at any time.

One hundred Leman Russ main battle tanks, all covered in the blood of Chaos believers, were gathered together in an orderly manner. Their heavy and solid steel bodies flashed with a cold light, like blood-stained giant beasts ready to attack.

Not only that, not far behind this powerful armored cluster, nearly four hundred petrified lizard self-propelled artillery with fierce firepower have been set up, with their black muzzles raised high and aimed at the enemy ahead.

"Fire!"

The commander's decisive command was like a thunder, instantly spreading to every artillery position.

In an instant, deafening artillery roars resounded through the sky, and countless shells whizzed out like raindrops, rushing towards the enemy with devastating power.

Just as the self-propelled artillery in the rear made a deafening roar, the armored forces that were originally on high alert in the front suddenly burst out at an astonishing speed and rushed towards the enemy like a torrent of steel.

All I could hear was a series of loud noises: "BOOM! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"

One after another, powerful artillery shells whizzed through the sky and slammed heavily into Kugath's huge and terrifying body.

However, this great demon blessed by Nurgle showed astonishing defensive capabilities. Its extremely fat body actually withstood the bombardment of dozens of armor-piercing shells.

In contrast, the Nurgle demons surrounding Ku'gath were not so lucky.

Their twisted, rotten bodies were blown to pieces by the fierce impact of the shells, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Accompanied by a shrill scream, the souls of these demons were driven back into the warp by powerful forces.

"go ahead!"

Following the commander's order, one hundred Leman Russ main battle tanks that were charging responded in unison.

As they galloped, they pointed their guns at the arrogant Kugax, and dense artillery fire poured down like raindrops.

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, Diego put on his gray helmet with a swift movement, and then resolutely drew out the Titan's sword from his waist that was shining with cold light.

Then, he walked steadily towards the center of the battlefield.

A dozen Grey Knights also picked up their weapons and followed Diego to the battlefield.

There was a loud bang, and the deafening sound echoed through the sky.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen tanks were easily overturned by Kugax like toys.

These huge monsters rolled several times in the air and then slammed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Then, a horrifying scene appeared. Kugax muttered something, and a dark green plague aura gushed out from his body, quickly covering the fallen tanks.

Under the erosion of this chaotic force, the tank's extremely hard steel shell began to decay and melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was being ruthlessly devoured by time.

"The Seventh Path!"

Kugath roared in extreme anger. His eyes were red and his face was distorted. He had already fallen into a state of madness.

Faced with the enemy's continuous attacks, he could no longer care about much else. He only hoped to kill more enemies and make the human army pay a heavier price.

Although the self-propelled artillery continued to fire shells in an attempt to stop Kugax's fierce offensive, their efforts seemed so futile.

One shell after another whizzed towards Kugath, but when they were still some distance away from him, they were corroded beyond recognition by the powerful plague force and finally fell powerlessly to the ground.

"Damn it! This monster has withstood nearly 1000 of our artillery shells from now on! And it's not dead yet?" The Astra Militarum general who was standing in the distance watching the battle tightly gripped the telescope in his hand and cursed with gritted teeth.

Through the lens, he clearly saw the terrifying figure killing people wantonly on the battlefield, and a chill ran down his spine.

However, at this critical moment, more than a dozen grey figures suddenly appeared like ghosts without any warning on the battlefield filled with smoke and the sound of killing!

The leader was Diego, and at this moment his body was emitting dazzling blue psychic lightning, crackling.

At the same time, with Diego as the center, the surrounding space was compressed in an instant by his unparalleled psychic power, forming a distorted force field visible to the naked eye.

Those demons that were originally ferocious and vicious, after coming into contact with this extremely terrifying power, suddenly let out extremely shrill screams.

Their bodies melted quickly, turning into pools of disgusting acid water with a strong smell of sulfur, flowing on the ground, making a sizzling sound.

For these demons, the powerful aura that Diego exudes is an irresistible vicious curse. Just by getting close to him, they will feel a deep fear and despair, making them unable to resist at all.
