After hovering over the battlefield for nearly fifteen minutes, the Thunderhawk gunboat ran out of ammunition and had to leave the battle zone and return to the hangar to replenish ammunition.

Tens of thousands of bug corpses lay in front of the first line of defense, but under the command of the bug mother on the planet, countless bugs continued to charge towards the excavation base without dying.

Under the continuous offensives of the Zerg, even with the support of the Space Marines, the troops guarding the base had to abandon the first line of defense. After retreating to the bridges on both sides, Zemor detonated the bombs buried in the trenches.

.

Amidst the violent explosions, the insect was forced to retreat.

"Quickly count the number of people and get into defensive positions immediately. Soon, the bugs will attack again. How many people have we lost?" Zemore asked the officer who retreated.

"The infantry platoons that retreated lost about 200 people. One Leman Russ tank was destroyed by Banelings and another was injured."

At this time, a harsh scratching sound came from the alloy deck of the bridge, and dozens of springtails rushed onto the bridge through the thick smoke generated by the bombs and rushed over.

Suddenly, amid a burst of firing from miniguns and Gauss rifles, the springtails that rushed onto the bridge were swept away.

Jim Raynor, wearing his special CMC power armor, walked up to Zemore and asked: "How long will it take to transport all the refugees out? I'm afraid we can't last much longer."

"We have to hold on for at least another hour, Commander Renault." Zemore sighed, "Fortunately, the open space in the mine is very large and can accommodate more transport planes, otherwise we would have to hold on for even longer."

On the Opalon-class battleship, Horus looked at Marsala through the porthole. As the insect mother began to attack, a large amount of fungi began to grow on the surface of the planet, which was even visible to the naked eye from orbit.

"This planet is hopeless," Horus said to Thor, who was standing next to him. "After evacuating the civilians to orbit, execute the extermination order."

Extermination order! Thor is no stranger to this order. He had issued this order as early as the Great Crusade. But is it really necessary to destroy the planet in front of him?

Horus saw Thor's doubts. He pointed at the planet and said to him: "We do not have enough troops to protect the humans here, and the Tyranids will not provide reinforcements here. So what we can do is

The only way is to remove the humans here and destroy it. The humans will not be able to get it, and the Zerg will not be able to get it!"

After saying that, Horus turned and headed to the bridge, where he stood and issued the extermination order. An atmospheric incineration torpedo was being prepared. As long as he gave the order, Masala would fall into silence.

The battle on the ground is still continuing. After retreating to the traffic bridge, relying on the bunkers built before the war, the human soldiers will be firmly blocked from the base.

The attacking insect mother seemed to have lost its patience, and the most powerful war weapon of the Zeg swarm, the Thunder Beast, was thrown onto the battlefield.

Like a siege chariot, the Thunder Beast rushed towards the continuously firing bunker with unstoppable momentum. The continuous automatic cannon bombardment could only leave dark marks on its diamond-shaped chitin carapace.

Anti-tank laser cannons are helpless against this behemoth. The gene called redundant organ allows the Ultralisk to withstand fatal attacks and still keep moving forward.

Finally, an Thunder Beast rushed to the bunker, and its terrifying single-molecule giant blade tore open the alloy shell of the bunker. The soldiers inside who failed to escape in time were crushed to death by the collapsed alloy plates.

Zemor looked at the giant beast in front of him and began to take action. Now most of the legionnaires have undergone Primaris surgery and have become more powerful Primaris Space Marines.

But Zemore did not upgrade, so he was able to continue to use the old model of the jetpack, and the turbine engine continued to push, allowing Zemore to fly into the sky.

Driven by the jetpack, Zemor went straight towards the Thunder Beast. After approaching the Thunder Beast's head, he actually landed directly on the Thunder Beast's head.

The Thunder Beast discovered the little person on his head. He kept waving his head, trying to get rid of the little person on his head, but Zemore had already inserted the combat knife into the Thunder Beast's horn. He really wanted to

It is impossible to break away easily.

After standing firm, Zemore aimed the fine melta pistol in his hand at the Thunder Beast's eyes. As he gently pulled the trigger, blazing light shot out from the barrel, and a powerful heat energy beam penetrated the Thunder Beast.

The beast's eyes destroy its brain.

After losing its main brain, the Thunder Beast's movements became sluggish. Although the secondary brain can still support the operation of the Thunder Beast, its traveling speed is greatly slowed down.

"I am Captain Zemore, heavy artillery company. Immediately launch armor-piercing grenades to my position." After downloading the command, Zemore immediately activated his jetpack and flew back to his position.

After a while, several artillery shells dragged long trails into the battlefield, and the slow-moving Thunder Beast had no time to escape from the shelling range.

After two rounds of shelling, an armor-piercing grenade perfectly hit the back of the Thunder Beast. The high-hardness alloy warhead allowed the armor-piercing grenade to penetrate the Armor Beast's carapace. Then the deuterium warhead was detonated, with powerful aftereffects.

Directly blasting the inside of the Thunder Beast into a mess.

In the painful scream, the terrible beast fell to the ground and could not get up again.

Although several attacking Thunder Beasts were dealt with, the human defense line was still retreating steadily.

"Is the transport ship gone?" Renault asked loudly while holding a Gauss rifle and firing.

"The transport ship has been successfully evacuated, the artifact has been taken away, and our mission has been completed, Commander Renault." Zemore, who had just crushed a springtail to death, replied.

"It's time to retreat." Zemore said, looking at the sky.

"That's just right, my ship has arrived." Renault also looked at the sky.

A Behemoth-class battlecruiser jumped directly into the atmosphere. The laser array on the belly of the cruiser immediately opened fire on the swarms of insects on the ground. The blazing laser ignited swarms of insects.

In the communication channel, an upright voice came, "Reinforcements have arrived, are there anyone alive down there?"

The thing in the sky is the Hyperion, and the owner of the voice is the captain of the Hyperion, Matt Horner.

"You came just in time, Matt." Renault's face was full of smile, but the smile stopped immediately because a shadow covered the entire excavation base and the Hyperion.

The Opal Dragon battleship in orbit no longer avoided it, and the eight-kilometer-long behemoth sailed directly to the orbit near the excavation base.

"Lord Horus's flagship has also appeared. Wait for you on top of it. Let's get out of this hellish place."
