As the Blood Angels and Dark Angels completed the restart of the Terminator armor and joined in the attack on the defeated Italian army, the Italian army also fell into a complete collapse.
The troops that still had the last bit of fighting will had to give up resistance and chose to retreat and escape with other large troops to avoid being completely scattered or simply trampled to death by the rebels.
Such a defeat was astonishing. Ordinary soldiers in the Anglo-Egyptian coalition had never even seen such a scene.
After all, just now they had launched a fierce offensive against the Anglo-Egyptian defense line under the guidance of Angel. As a result, a few minutes after Angel was knocked down, it turned into a rout like a tide.
This happened so fast that their reaction was so slow that they couldn't help but slow down.
But for Space Marines, such scenes have been seen too many times.
In their service experience, which lasted for hundreds of years, they often fell from the sky in airborne pods. The moment the rebels saw the Space Marines, their morale collapsed and they fell into a rout.
Although they are not mortal troops that can resist tenaciously or even fight to the death without facing Space Marines, they are either fanatical cultists who have lost their identity after being brainwashed by Chaos, or they are absolutely loyal to the Emperor.
An elite force that resists the erosion of Chaos with its firm will.
Obviously, it was not comparable to the Italian army, whose performance even in mortal battles was real, and their defeat was indeed normal.
After all, the angel who supported their morale had just been killed in front of them, and the attacking troops had been bombarded by firepower from what appeared to be an artillery division. Their fighting will had hit rock bottom.
Therefore, after reacting, the Anglo-Egyptian forces also quickly attacked and began to pursue the defeated Italian troops to prevent them from escaping into the city of Rome and relying on the city to carry out a stubborn resistance.
Street fighting is something no general wants to fight, because it means extremely high casualties and will inevitably cause great damage to the city.
But just when the Anglo-Egyptian forces were advancing very smoothly and had gradually begun to enter the city of Rome, there was suddenly a throbbing sound from the city of Rome, causing the entire battlefield to pause for a moment.
Everyone felt a sense of fear, as if something terrible had been released in the city of Rome.
Such changes instantly aroused the alertness of the Space Marines and Liches. The Space Marines had an instinctive reaction resulting from years of combat experience.
In the Warhammer world, it is too common for Chaos Demons to be suddenly summoned when the enemy is defeated. Every one of them has experienced similar things.
Therefore, after discovering changes in the city of Rome, they were the first to respond.
The space warriors of the Dark Angels and the Blood Angels quickly gathered together. A team of assault troops, two teams of Terminators, plus a team of veterans and think tanks immediately formed an assault force and launched a forceful assault on the city of Rome.
The lichs, on the other hand, were convinced by the powerful spell fluctuations coming from the city of Rome that something unexpected had happened in the city.
The leader of the silver-faced lich immediately informed Chen Mo of the situation, and after his will came and determined what exactly happened in the city, Chen Mo's expression also changed.
He immediately controlled the lich's body and cast a summoning spell, using the lich as his location to summon his own body.
When Chen Mo walked out of the teleportation array, new changes occurred in the city of Rome. A black smoke spewed out from St. Peter's Basilica, quickly darkening the sky and covering the entire city of Rome.
It became dark.
Along with the black smoke, a large number of mosquitoes and flies appeared. Like black smoke, they enveloped the city of the Seven Hills and spread the plague to everyone in the city of Rome in a very short period of time.
Suddenly, people everywhere in Rome began to cough, vomit, and develop cysts, rashes, and ulcers on their bodies. Some people who could not control themselves even began to have diarrhea in the streets, filling the entire city with an unspeakable smell and exacerbating the plague.
spread.
"Send the order, all mortal armies immediately stop attacking, switch to on-site defense, and be prepared to prevent the plague!" Upon seeing this, Chen Mo issued an order to the lich on the side.
The mortal army obviously does not have the ability to fight against this magical plague. They are afraid that they will be infected and lose their combat effectiveness the moment they enter the city of Rome. Instead of letting them send it away, it is better to let them station outside the city first.
As for the Space Marines, Chen Mo did not interfere too much with them. These veterans were old enough to fight, and their experience in dealing with this situation would only be richer.
And compared with the Chaos Plague and Nurgle Demons faced by the Human Empire in the Warhammer World, this level of plague is not enough. They cannot even infect a single Space Marine.
On the contrary, the Krieg Death Corps, who were also on the battlefield, soon sent a request to Chen Mo, requesting to launch an attack on this fallen city and purify the evil.
Chen Mo stopped their request for a fight, not because he thought the Krieg Death Corps could not cope with such a scene.
For the Krieg Death Corps, all of whom wear gas masks, this level of plague is not enough to reduce their combat effectiveness.
But the enemies that appeared in the city of Rome were not ones that the Krieg Death Corps could deal with, or rather, they were enemies that they could deal with without suffering heavy casualties.
Several streaks of black smoke flew out from St. Peter's Cathedral, fell into the city, and soon turned into demonic figures.
One of them even had the audacity to appear directly in front of the Space Marines, mistaking them for the knights of the Church, and launched a provocation and attack on them.
Obviously, how could a mere demon that could be sealed by the church in the Middle Ages be an opponent of the Space Marines?
Among these demons, there may be existences powerful enough for the Space Marines to prepare for, such as the existence that previously released the wave of waves that shocked everyone, or the demons that now turn into black clouds covering the sky and spread the plague.
But there is obviously no guy here who wants to challenge the Space Marines.
This is indeed the case. He just came face to face with the Blood Angels Terminator and was torn into pieces by the power claws.
However, neither the Space Marines nor the released demons obviously thought that this guy who was torn to pieces as soon as they met could represent anything. The battle had just begun.
More terrifying and powerful demons are breaking free from the suppression of St. Peter's Basilica, and the Space Marines are fearlessly charging into Hell.
