Under the moist, dense woods and winding vines, the soldiers of the third platoon of the 183rd Catachan Regiment walked through trenches and muddy forest glades, slowly advancing toward the roaring war zone to the west.
Dawn has arrived, and the sky casts bits of cold, solid morning light towards the soldiers.
The second row of Catachan's team was Stryker's team. Bloodthirsty flying insects and vermin began to fly among the soldiers like dense dust, but the Catachan people had long been accustomed to all this, and even they
Our bodies naturally have a certain amount of resistance to toxicity.
This jungle area closest to the hive city of Attica has special significance to Stryker. It was here that he led the residents of the Pavilion to engage in brutal guerrilla warfare against the Chaos army. It was also from the abandonment of this area that he began to fight.
His resistance was almost completely defeated.
But today, he is back again!
The scout went ahead to explore the road, and a group of ten people lined up and walked through the dense jungle.
When the group of people reached a pond covered with reeds and grass, Sanjay signaled the group to stop and sent two men to scout ahead.
The place is filled with the rotting stench of dense vegetation, and dense numbers of small flying insects are flying around the pond.
The faces of all the Catachans were covered with camouflage. The sniper quickly climbed onto the winding branch of a big tree. At this time, he looked across the calm water to observe the two people in front of him.
Others were waiting by the pond. Stryker's eyes were like sharp black diamonds dotted in the center. This fierce man who killed three Catachan demons alone during the hunt had already smelled the danger. At this moment,
The situation felt very familiar to him, and a feeling rose from deep in his bones——
The killing is coming.
"Tosin."
A group of flies flew by, and when he heard someone calling him, Tosin, a veteran of the 183rd Catachan Regiment, picked up his rifle and looked at Stryker.
"Sir?"
"You know the camp best. We are already at its edge now. I need you to find a weakly defended gap. You can do it, right?"
Tosin shrugged and said yes. The focusing ring of his prosthetic eye whirred, as if trying to imitate the puzzled expression that the naked eye could show.
"You have to go to the front of the main force and take the third platoon with you."
"clear."
"This is very important, it concerns everyone's lives, do you understand?"
Tosin nodded.
Soon, the veteran disappeared into the swollen and festering vegetation like spreading smoke.
The swamp in front slowly extends to a lake. The quiet lake surface is covered with a layer of russet water plants, and decayed tree trunks and roots stick out of the lake surface.
Stryker arranged for "Black Python" Sanjay to lead a platoon of soldiers. This man was very brave and resourceful.
Sanjay then ordered a platoon of soldiers to follow him. He raised his pistol and knife high and stepped into the knee-deep lake water. The turbid lake water soaked his military uniform.
"Look at that high place!"
The sniper whispered into the intercom. Stryker looked across the lake and saw many figures walking back and forth.
The adjutant also saw it. He was stunned for a moment and said:
"One of our own?"
Stryker hit the opponent's head directly with the handle of the knife.
"Only stupid pigs dare to run in front of us. The main force is on the eastern front now, so they are the enemy!"
At this time, a platoon had reached the edge of the lake. They were very close to the enemy, and it was almost impossible to continue to hide.
So Sanjay made a prompt decision and issued an attack order.
"Let's rush quickly!"
Sanjay raised his gun and prepared to shoot. He heard the soldiers uniformly opening the safety.
"For the Emperor!"
He howled and rushed to the lake shore, and directly beheaded a traitor with his sharp Catachan machete.
In an instant, the calm swamp was drowned by the shouts of killing. Countless lasers flew across the lake. Several figures fell down, and some fell into the lake. The remaining enemies lowered themselves and began to find bunkers among the roots of the trees on the other side of the lake, and began to attack.
fight back.
The entire body of water resounded with the sound of laser fire. Some of the low-level lasers rippled as they passed over the lake. Others caused steam to emit from the water due to the high temperature when they hit the lake. Some even exploded the rotting bark of trees.
.
Of course, some lasers hit the Catachan soldiers, causing those figures who had just rushed out of the lake to fall into the lake again, and some fell into the dense root system.
The sniper shot three enemy soldiers in the head, but he was also shot in the head, and his body fell weakly from the tree and slid into the muddy lake.
Sanjay shouted loudly into the walkie-talkie, reporting that he had engaged the enemy and was exchanging fire with the enemy. Then he set the laser gun to fully automatic mode, squeezed the trigger with his finger, and let the laser shoot toward the opposite side.
The second, third, fourth... not enough at all, not enough killed!
"Platoon has engaged enemy forces."
The adjutant reacted immediately.
"go ahead!"
Stryker ordered the soldiers in the second row to rush forward through the forest path and around the lake. The machete in his hand whizzed and split open the obstacles in front.
The soldiers could hear the sounds of close firefights that were more harsh than the rumbling war fire in the distance, but their location was unknown and seemed very far away.
Stryker cursed the dense jungle of distorted echoes. Why was this place causing such chaos?
Laser fire began to shoot towards the second row. One man was shot and fell down. His body started to burn after being hit by the laser.
The adjutant was also hit, but only grazed on his cheek. Stryker pulled the man up and pushed him behind the tree roots that served as cover.
"Are you okay?"
"Can't die."
The adjutant said as he wiped the bloody burnt wound on his cheek with a sterile cotton swab.
The enemy's firepower was too fierce and they could not rush through. Stryker ordered the soldiers to find bunkers, and then the soldiers began to attack the enemy with well-trained and precise shooting.
The precise firepower of the Catachan soldiers penetrated the dense foliage, but the ensuing enemy counterattack was extremely inaccurate, but the victory was sufficient in numbers.
Now Stryker could see the enemy's position by following the firelight on the opposite side - they were poorly positioned and the space was tight.
He wanted to order the soldiers to charge, so he thought of inspiring words in his mind, but after much thought, he could only shout this sentence.
"O Catachan! Kill all the enemies!"
This sentence worked, and the Catachans began to run and charge in the jungle, charging into the enemy group and starting to cause death.
The soldiers in the third row not far away stopped, half because of Tosin's gesture, and the other half because they heard a fierce exchange of fire erupting somewhere in the bushes.
They were at a low place, with the sky above them covered in dense green. The soldiers' faces were painted with dark camouflage. Whenever a gunshot was fired, the white eyes under the camouflage would follow the echo and search for the source of the sound.
Tosin wiped the sweat from his face, bit his lower lip, glanced back and forth, and the gun in his hand was ready to fire at any time.
"Just on the left."
He whispered, pointing with his finger.
"A battle broke out over there, about no more than 200 meters away."
"Everyone is in a fight... When will we join the battle?"
A soldier whispered, and Tosin could already tell that the other party couldn't wait any longer. The waiting and guessing before the battle were often more difficult than the battle itself.
"The battle will come soon."
Tosin drew out his saber, and the blade was smeared with soot. The other soldiers followed the example of the veteran and drew out their knives.
"Let's continue to be silent, and then we'll catch them off guard."
Having said that, Tosin continued to move forward with the soldiers, and the familiar outline of Olympia Mountains in front was clearly visible——
