On the position in charge of the Second Company of the White Temple, the company commander Alash was staring at the far end of the battlefield with his helmet in his arms.
He is a veteran who has served for nearly three hundred years and is the person in the battle group who has served the longest time except Randall. One of the important reasons is that he did not transplant the deteriorated gray graft.
He is also one of the very few soldiers who became the company commander without transplanting ash graft, which shows his personal ability.
After entering the command level and knowing all the secrets of the White Temple in the past, he became a very firm corporatist.
Not long ago, Alash received orders to block the enemy from here to Fort 7, for three hours, and then they could retreat to the next line of defense.
The number of enemies was large, probably hundreds of times theirs, and the only two nearby friendly troops were busy dealing with the rebellion of local militias and had no time to support them.
But Randall promised to support the arrival of the event when necessary.
"Company Commander, the enemy has entered range."
Suddenly, an adjutant reported that this caused most of the soldiers to raise their bomb guns and prepare to welcome the upcoming army of heretics.
"Collapse the gun."
Arash put on his helmet and issued new instructions.
"The first wave of enemies must be cultists, saving ammunition, using spears and shields, brothers, forming the Nine Bow Formation, Lomon Squad, and using projectile grenades to kill the enemies in the distance."
The White Temple not only preserved many of the original legion’s culture, but also preserved the phalanx tactics of the Legion’s era.
Their positions were built by mortals, mainly from chest walls and trenches. Arash probably opened a gap of about 100 meters, just like a flood discharge on a dam, attracting the enemy to the direction they lined up.
As the roaring crowd rushed towards them, the second company of the White Temple calmly tied the bomb gun around his waist, raised the jump shield, and pulled out a short spear from behind.
This short spear is a power weapon, but unlike most power spears in the Empire, there is a round weight ball at the end, which is also the energy source of the force field generator.
As the soldiers turned on the switch, the power spearhead instantly crackled, emitting a blue light.
When the soldiers lined up, a battle flag also appeared behind them.
The White Temple uses a special battle flag called "Kawei". This battle flag is square, with an eagle emblem at the top, and the battle flag is inlaid with symbols made of gold.
"Roll ahhhh!!!"
Soon, the overwhelming army of cultists swept across the front of the position and then instinctively rushed towards the only gap.
What happened next was like a storm hitting a cliff. The cultists in the front row fell in front of the unbreakable shield formation in large numbers. The power spear pierced into this group of crazy fallen cults. When 3 to 4 cultists were inserted into the spear, the Space Marines would skillfully strip the bodies of the edge of the shield, and then continued to stab the spear into the crowd.
Countless pagans died instantly, while Arash always stood on the front line, holding up his shield, and fighting in a bloody storm.
During the long battle, the second company was surrounded by the crazy roars of bloodthirsty cultists, and their blood-red eyes and twisted faces were filled with hatred, but they soon fell down weakly in pain and twitching.
"go ahead!"
Arash roared and the square began to move.
The second company advanced very quickly, with broken bones and flesh splashed on its shields. The spear swept across the dense cultist clusters. The iron boots ruthlessly trampled on the cult's corpses, and simply brought permanent tranquility to these madmen.
And the seriously injured cultists who were lying on the ground and not yet dead were still shouting the names of their masters.
When they advanced a hundred meters, they had already left behind a path full of dead bodies.
A little further away, a team was holding grenade launchers, causing cultists who were still trying to attack further away into a sea of fire.
Their firepower directly divides the cultist parts into sections, preventing them from launching a continuous impact.
Some smart guys also try to climb over the chest walls on both sides, but often at this time, the warriors in the second and third rows will use single shots to knock them down one by one to ensure that the flanks of the formation are not disturbed by the enemy.
Soon, under the massacre, the enemy also changed its tactics.
At first there were several lasers, and then there were gunshots, followed by deafening roar of woodcutting guns.
Gradually, the gunshots around them became louder, but these were very low-level weapons, including logging guns made by the lower-level gunsmiths, as well as automatic guns and laser guns snatched from the armory.
When the cultist's dead-hard part joined, a large number of fires of weapons fired suddenly emerged from the position.
The concrete chest wall around the Second Company was immediately shattered by dense fire.
"Iron Cavalry Formation."
Arash ordered decisively.
"onslaught!"
After roaring in unison, the soldiers threw their spears at the cultists who rushed towards them. The spearhead was straight through the heads of the cultists, and nailed groups of cultists to the ground, and then unloaded the bomb guns that were magnetically hung around their waists.
"May the Emperor give us speed and precision! Make sure to fire one enemy at a time and fire!"
The soldiers put the blaster on their shields, and rely on their helmets and the aiming system on the blaster, and began to accurately shoot the enemy troops rushing to the position.
The ruthless bullets shattered one cult after another, shot a large number of gunmen down, and the fierce firepower even suppressed the enemies hiding in the trenches and firing cold guns.
Although the battle went smoothly, the enemy who changed tactics made Alash realize that the real enemy was approaching.
Without guidance, these cultists are just a group of lazy and bloodthirsty lunatics wandering among countless victims, but if Chaos Space Marines appear around them, these cultists will show a certain degree of organization and discipline.
And as time goes by, the bomb gun ammunition is gradually exhausted.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! It has been more than three hours. When Alash was considering whether to retreat, the noise of gunfire suddenly disappeared, and all the cultists began to turn around and escape, echoing echoes that could not be dissipated for a long time between the positions filled with madness and death.
"Ceasefire."
Arash immediately ordered.
"What's going on?"
The adjutant put down his gun, and the sudden disappearance of enemy firepower was disturbing, while the cult's moans were ignored.
"What does this mean?"
"That means something is coming."
Suddenly, Arash's eyes twitched, and something he saw fell from the sky.
The next second, he could feel like he was off the ground ten kilometers away.
The explosion spread silently, and the beam of light rose from the ground and rose into the dirty and dirty sky. It shone like water, so that Arash could see thousands of small particles dancing in the expanded smoke column through it.
He blinked, then realized that these particles were all humans: tens of thousands of cultists' army, and countless demons.
The light twisted and overlapped, and the dark particles swelled and burst like soap bubbles. Silence rolled out, as if all the sounds were swallowed up by the destruction he witnessed with his own eyes.
When the broken reality touches the sky, these few seconds will be eternal.
Then it collapsed and nothing happened.
"It turned out to be orbital bombing-"
At this time, Arash's communicator suddenly rang, and then Randall's voice came.
"Second Company, you rush to the third line of defense immediately. This time you must stick to it for five hours."
"The third line? What about the second line of defense?"
"give up."
"Why?"
"The 22nd Kadian Regiment was defeated."
Alash was stunned for a moment. This was the loud main group of the Star Army, and it was actually defeated.
Obviously the battle situation is not optimistic.
Later, Randall's words put his worries to a higher level.
"The Dark Angels' offense was also not going well, and they were in some trouble."
