Kessler witnessed the crazy monster with three legs and two bladed arms kill Metz, his biological brother.
The green-lighting blade easily cut through the shield with the battle group's mark, as if the metal shield with a miniature stance generator that could block small-caliber weapons was just a piece of parchment, and the blade smoothly penetrated the flesh behind the shield.
, the moment the chest was pierced, the white swords on the shield turned red.
Immediately afterwards, the metal beast pulled back its weapon and let out a frantic howl with static noise. Metz's blood splashed on the comrades around him.
But the killing continued, and the sharp blade came out again and inserted into another helmet.
It continues to cause carnage and is unstoppable. Ever since it rushed out of the smoke of the explosion, Kessal has seen it kill dozens of people. This guy is deadly to anyone.
Although they continued to attack it with purgatory spears and burned a considerable part of its body, it did not slow down the attack speed at all. It seemed to exist for more bloodshed - even as soon as it saw it, it could
It makes people feel chilling, and the passion for fighting is like falling into an ice cave.
But it is just one of them. There are dozens of beasts like it on the battlefield on the west side of Scorch Oven City.
This melee was the cruelest he had ever seen in his service.
Cold metal skeletons walked out of the huge pyramid rising from the cracks in the earth. The weapons in their hands fired again and again, triggering bursts of scarlet blood rain. The Skitarii and the auxiliary troops of the Astral Knights Chapter formed the front line.
With their steely perseverance, they resisted the crazy attacks of these metal aliens.
Kesar and his brother Metz have served in the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Pashtiban Regiment for ten years. Their father is a member of the Astral Knights Auxiliary Force, and their grandfather participated in the heroic Rebellion Star War in the regiment.
Still a company commander - Kessler also grew up listening to many shocking stories about his grandfather's battle.
For as long as he can remember, he has always longed for glory in battle. Relying on his status as "military dependents", he and his brother entered the most elite [Pashti Ban] unit of the battle group directly from the selection stage. This is a kind of
An exciting honor. Although their youngest brother also wanted to join the army, the Chapter had regulations that the last child of a family was not allowed to join the army.
After that, they kept training, training, and occasionally went home for vacation to get married and have children, or participate in some innocuous practical training.
To be honest, Kessler and his comrades had muttered more than once why they couldn't go to the battlefield. Even the Maelstrom Expedition that everyone was looking forward to was not sent until it was over, so that some people laughed at themselves for wearing expensive equipment.
Toys are just for viewing.
Kessler himself was worried that he might not be able to actually go on the battlefield until he retired.
Could it be that the Chapter Leader has no confidence in them?
It wasn't just him who had such doubts, everyone else should have had this suspicion too, until they suddenly received the order to go on an expedition, and everyone finally became excited.
At first, he said that he came to a forge world to suppress the gene stealers. In fact, Kesal was still a little discouraged, because this was hardly a real enemy, but it was better than doing nothing.
During the attack on the Red Temple, their battalion was the first to rush in. Although it was an opportunistic choice to choose a side entrance with little defense, it was still rewarded for it. Kessler was also shot and assassinated during the battle.
Six aliens.
No matter what, it is a good thing to see blood. A soldier who has not seen blood would feel embarrassed if he said it.
The battle after that seemed to be dull again, just catching sporadic aliens like mice in some ruins. I originally thought that the battle would be like this.
Unexpectedly, an order came from above, and all the troops of the Pashti Ban were transferred to Scorch Oven City for defense, and a lot of information about strange aliens such as "Necrons" were distributed to them. The superiors also made it very clear.
, the main goal of the next battle is this.
Now everyone was on alert. The description of this thing was not on the same level as that of a gene stealer. The weapon was marked as extremely lethal.
that's the truth.
When the violent earthquake occurred, all of them gathered under the command of the officers despite the strong shaking. The area they were responsible for was the east side of Scorch Oven City. Together with them, there were several skitarii and a combat robot.
Corps, and all the tanks and heavy artillery of the Pashti Ban were also in place immediately.
However, the first thing that appeared was not the imaginary metal aliens, but the desperate gene stealers. They ran crazy out of the huge subsidence smoke formed by the earthquake as if they were being chased by something, even though they were greeted by humans.
merciless massacre.
Without the need for soldiers to do anything, the tanks and artillery used earth-shaking roars to tear apart these aliens that had tainted human genes.
But this was just an appetizer, and soon they saw their real opponent.
From the huge pits sunk deep in the Coke Oven City, glassy black pyramids rose up one after another. Their shells were made of sparkling obsidian, and their tops were golden. They were filled with smoke and strongly reflective. A large group of small creatures moved at mechanical steps.
Forms crawl on its surface, and when activated, its body flashes and roars with many alien runes.
Kessler saw at least fifteen such pyramids with his own eyes.
At the same time, the sky began to scream, and the obvious vibrations caused by the crescent-shaped alien fighters cutting the air crossed the wide battlefield. When they circled in an irregular arc above the heads of the human army and screamed, Kessal
I had to grit my teeth to fight the debilitating torture and sting.
Fortunately, they left after that. They were attracted by the aircraft passing by at high speed in the sky, and flew towards the mechanical city in the distance, where anti-aircraft weapons were waiting for them.
When the soldiers' hearing recovered, an even stronger roar came.
That was the sound of armored troops and artillery starting to bombard those pyramids, including the heavy weapons of the Skitarii. Various types of shells, rockets, beams, and plasma flew towards the slow-moving alien creations like raindrops.
The next second, there was a grand fireworks show, with the flames reaching hundreds of meters high. Kessler even joked with his brother that nothing could survive this kind of firepower.
But reality slapped him in the face mercilessly. When the firepower in the distance weakened slightly, the shimmering giant pyramids were still moving forward slowly. There were almost no scars on them. Only two seemed to be missing.
, but then they also appeared, but there were obvious cracks on them.
