Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire - #365 - Chapter 358 Unexpected Reinforcements

The demons’ attacks were terrible and fierce. After several hours of offensive and defensive battles and attrition wars, the Imperial Guards’ front line had been mostly defeated, and the demons’ invincible war engines were almost completely destroyed. When the artificial system of the day and night cycle lost its light again and night fell, the demons had to give up the crazy charge on the position.

Yes, the terrifying existence that was invincible to humans was also defeated by the Imperial Guards’ tenacity and powerful firepower, but the heavy fragments and armor-piercing missiles were already in a shortage.

The armory had been completely drained, firstly because the Imperial Guards had abandoned the baggage vehicles in order to break through the front line before, and secondly because heavy weapons and equipment did not have a high priority in this war.

The lieutenant looked at the list in the command room. The dense red crosses on it told him that the Skadi people were once again in a situation where they had no bullets to fight, and because he always liked to use more firepower in exchange for the survival of soldiers, and the long-term cut-off of support finally dragged them into a place of no return.

The demons are gathering, and their number will increase after this break. The main forces are waiting in the southwest. They have no room to retreat…

The lieutenant looked at the gorgeous clock on the wall. The date and time marked on it cruelly and ruthlessly told him that it would take at least a full day before the Space Marines could support him.

“God Emperor…” He couldn’t help but sigh. He rarely mentioned the name of the Lord of Mankind, but the pressure of the commander almost overwhelmed him. The responsibility under power, as well as the suffering, this world is not gentle to humans.

In a war of this scale, tactics can provide very little help. The commander is more focused on planning logistics and dealing with many emergencies in the war. Even if it sounds simple, it is not easy for ordinary people to take it.

Now that the war situation is deep in the quagmire, the intake of caffeine is getting more and more intense. Unless the Emperor shows mercy, he is close to enlightenment.

“Tell the soldiers to charge the power sickle. If the enemy charges again, we can only rely on our flesh and blood…” This is the only way. The empire has been lingering on until now. In the endless enemies and crazy wars, if you want to stand firm, you must give up everything you have.

Sacrifice is the cornerstone of the empire, which is even clearer in this crazy and cruel place, and this close combat order directly points out the cruel dilemma of the Imperial Guard now.

But before death, hope is not dim. When the short and urgent report interrupted the issuance of this order, the long-awaited contact from Catachan arrived as expected. The only communication channel left for the forest warriors flashed a dazzling red light.

The lieutenant and all the officers did not believe it. After all, there are few dramatic hopes in this universe, and there are many dramatic despairs.

“Dial!” Even so, the lieutenant did not hesitate to inform those soldiers that there was hope. When the communicator began to make a vague sound, the officers of the Imperial Guard could not help but hold their breath.

“This is the Skadi Special Guard, calling the headquarters.” A rough and familiar voice appeared here, and the lieutenant listened to the hoarse voice.

“Yes, here it is, please return to the team quickly.”

“No, I can’t go back. Ten people can’t change the situation, but hope is not just manpower. I found the leader of those demons. Mr. Wild Snake is helping me. I can get close to that thing, cut off its head, and give us hope.” His words were sonorous and powerful, and the lieutenant nodded gently.

“I don’t agree, but there is no way. But in the current situation, the Imperial Guard may not be able to hold on until you succeed…”

Sergeant Catachan heard the awareness in the lieutenant’s words, but he was not in a hurry. “The local PDF is here. We are not alone. Brother, victory is not far from us. We have won the hearts of the people. Next, the PDF’s armored vehicles will approach from the west, with enough supplies and heavy firepower. The problem is…”

“The Western Front… is very close to the battlefield. If you look at it this way, then…” The lieutenant hesitated a little.

“Because only the roads on the west are more complete, the other routes have been messed up by the war. The PDF’s vehicles are not tracked vehicles, and it is difficult to break through those weak roads.” The sergeant explained.

“They may see demons. Ordinary people will be timid when they see those things. I don’t disbelieve them, but the risk is too great.” The lieutenant spoke uncertainly.

The sergeant said. “There is no risk. This is a battlefield. Let’s start. Demons are gathering continuously. There is a portal that is transporting those things. Before the heretics and enemies are slaughtered, the war can only move forward in the craziest way.”

“It cannot be denied…” The lieutenant nodded.

At this moment, Kenny also started the engine. The demons are now entrenched outside Bandertal’s manor. The reason why the demons no longer attack during this period is actually very interesting, because they are attacking the rune freaks.

Only the first batch of demons came to the Imperial Guard, because the first company of the rune warriors had betrayed, the eighth company collapsed, and there was also internal discord. In the abrupt situation, their combat effectiveness was seriously damaged.

At the same time, the existence of the traitors made it impossible for them to gather strength, and the appearance of the demons was also covered up. After the second batch of demons gathered, those monsters attacked the camp of the rune warriors as soon as possible.

It was inevitable that they each acted on their own, but with the betrayal of their leaders and the low morale of their soldiers, this raid almost destroyed most of the manpower of those arrogant criminals.

The demonic army came out in full force, attacking the Imperial Guards and fighting the rune monsters at the same time. Now that the barbarians have been dispersed, the demonic army of Khorne has also prolonged the war, leaving room for reunification, waiting for the second round. Support from the Wave Demon Army.

In other words, the Imperial Guard has been fighting with less than half the strength of the demons, and they have been so miserable that even with the support of pdf, it is difficult for them to hold on for the rest of the day. At this point, Catachan’s beheading operation has also become extremely important.

As time passed by, the demon army grew larger, and the second lieutenant became anxious because he saw enough metal engines and a massive skull cannon array that could paralyze the void shield.

After a short preparation, those things were staring at the loyal and living flesh and blood in the trenches of the Imperial Guard.

They had never dealt with such an enemy before, and they felt tired and powerless at the same time. After the devil’s whistle, support and attack, it was the latter that finally came.

“Get ready to fight!” the second lieutenant yelled. He looked at the unexpectedly huge army in front of him and realized that his defense was completely insufficient. Although those PDFs were helpful, it would be difficult to reverse the situation of the battle.

Unless the Emperor appeared, he could not imagine how he could win. When rows of skull cannons spit out hot iron pellets and hit the void shield at high speed, causing it to make ripples that were terrifying to watch, the demons began to Attack, roar and jump into the shield area.

The frontal front became a meat grinder, and the smell of blood hit his face, the death of demons, mortals, and loyalists. But the second lieutenant noticed the situation on the western front. The huge number of demons began to allow them to attack across the side of the castle. By chance, This manor covers an area that is no different from a small city, and those demons can also cover areas with weak defenses.

But compared to this, the west side garrison saw the local pdf armored vehicles surrounded by enemies. To be precise, it should be that they had no way to go. A large number of demons occupied the abandoned city area. On such a scale, thousands of troops Completely unable to cover up whereabouts and tracks.

This incident has exceeded expectations, and as an external force, this legion does not have the means or ability to contact the Imperial Guard, especially the existence of those demons that distort the transmission of electromagnetic waves to a certain extent.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard were tightly restrained at this moment. They could not ignore the demon’s attack, and the poor weapons of PDF had little effect on those monsters. After all, even the invincible explosive gun could hardly defeat those monsters, let alone the primitive throw. Shell firearms.

Surrounded by enemies, the armored vehicle array seemed small and fragile. If it weren’t for the fact that there were no skull cannons and steel bulls here, and only a small number of Khorne Vanguards and Vampires, those PDFs wouldn’t have been able to get here!

It’s just that the Imperial Guard can only watch. Those soldiers are very determined and have excellent tactical skills. They are quite capable in the tactical style of detouring, outflanking, and helping each other. They are the first line of defense for the hive city to protect the Zhongchao. So far, they have been peaceful all year round. Deal with beastmen to the point where they have no fear of demons.

Those sharp border warriors in the gradually graying upper levels of the hive are like flames in the dark night, shaking unsteadily, as if they may be extinguished at any time…

“Damn it, Chief of Staff, can the stormtroopers get out?” The second lieutenant looked at the situation outside with his tactical binoculars. He angrily knocked on the innocent stones outside the lookout point platform on the high platform, so that his fists overflowed with blood and were stained with blood. Covered with gravel and rotten meat.

“No, no…all our defense forces have been used, we have no remaining strength…!” the chief of staff said helplessly.

“I want to go to the front line and take the officers with me!” the second lieutenant said without thinking.

The chief of staff scolded. “If you go, our front will collapse, and the sacrifice will be meaningless! Do you still need me to teach you this truth?”

“Then do you have to muster up the courage to help our people die?” the second lieutenant said helplessly…

Silent, the usually sharp-tongued loyal heir could not speak, because the war was so cruel. Once they made up their minds to go to the war zone, their fate had nothing to do with their motives.

Admit it, those sacrifices like moths to the flame are just a drop in the bucket. Under the supreme power of subspace, mortals can only cry bitterly. At least when the Destroying Eagle arrives, those warriors can avenge Skadi’s soldiers. At least when Alan Bair occupied this place, every name of those who died could be remembered.

Captain Kenny, the commander of pdf, climbed onto the top of the armored vehicle at this moment and fired with a shotgun at the enemy who tried to slash through the armored vehicle with his blade. The devil’s blood moistened his cheek, leaving a bright red high-temperature wound.

He said nothing, remained silent, raised his weapon and fought back several demons. However, his dead brothers could no longer be resurrected, but he had no regrets. As a PDF, his mission was to protect the nest, and these demons Not the Imperial Guard. The Imperial Guard won’t destroy the hive or massacre the residents, but they will.

he shouted. “Think about it, think about the dead comrades. Look, look at this messy place. Brothers, these demons are coming to the central lair, and everyone we know has to become food or provide them with entertainment!”

“Don’t be afraid of death! Living is more painful, death is just relief. The Emperor will clear the way for our souls, and we will worship under the light of the star Terra. At this moment, I only want these demons to die!” He cursed and shouted Look, look, your compatriots are cut open one by one, dead, those red things, disgusting things, even worse than beastmen! Even more disgusting!

He had to be a little desperate. In just half an hour, more than half of the armored vehicles were lost. Although the armored vehicles were intact, anyone with a discerning eye knew that they could not go back…

However, after the sound of explosive beam shooting that did not belong to the Imperial Guard, the demons’ encirclement line was torn open. After the flash of light, each soldier spread out with dance-like movements to avoid the enemy’s attack, and then again They gathered together, broke into the front line in extremely fast maneuvering time, and opened a channel with the help of pdf’s fire suppression.

The appearance of those people is even more amazing. In addition to the iconic rune skin and the aura of death on the body, they also have the same weapons and equipment as the Skadi soldiers, and several heavily modified heavy armored vehicles squeeze out the demons. Of flesh and blood, their vehicles and warriors also had wounds and missing parts.

Captain Kenny watched in disbelief as those superhuman warriors slaughtered the enemies that gave him constant headaches.

The captain watched in disbelief as the soldiers tore apart a front line with overwhelming force. His troops rushed in here as if they were marching with their lives through the mud, and those with famous and strange symbols on their bodies seemed to be able to anticipate the enemy’s attack.

There were about two thousand of these guys, using thermal weapons and power sabers that were extremely effective against demons to tear apart the battle line. The captain was sitting panting on the roof of the armored vehicle, and looked at the group of people who were holding up the defense line. They looked like commanders. the person asked.

“Sir, who are you?”

The man’s eyes had deep scars, bright red before they were stained, his muscles swelled, and the runes on his face were complex and profound, dazzling, and he was as dexterous as an Eldar dodging the death of demon blood.

At the same time, he tore apart a demon’s flesh and blood, and then answered with ease. “Captain of the First Company of Rune Soldiers, Jian, the person who was betrayed…” He looked at the demons angrily, as if looking at his enemies.

When this group of monsters attacked, he took advantage of the chaos to leave house arrest and broke out with two thousand brothers who understood the situation. At this moment, he only had one purpose, which was to find Rodman, the traitor, and then cut him into pieces .
