Amidst the warning whistle of the air defense team, the Greedy Vultures stationed in Stronghold No. 7 took off one after another, came to the cliffs on both sides of the stronghold, and began to attack the climbing snakes and insects with bullets and missiles. At this time,
It happens to be when these creatures are most vulnerable. When attacked, they have no means of counterattack and can only scream and fall down.
The six Storm Claws used their weapons to lock onto the climbing python, and then fired plasma missiles one after another.
Along with bursts of shining blue light, not only were the pythons blown to pieces, but the sharp claws used to climb the cliff also lost their strength and were even beaten to pieces, and they could only fall into the abyss wailing.
In just ten minutes, Tyran's assault force was completely wiped out, dying faster than the sea of insects in front of them.
"Company Commander, Tyron in the front is no longer attacking."
Hearing Jacob's words, Bahram had no expression on his face and just nodded.
"Let the soldiers take the time to rest, replenish ammunition for automatic weapons and defensive turrets, and report ammunition loss to me as soon as possible."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
After Jacob ran out of the command post, Bahram also walked to the terrace, and then looked up at the sky.
Everywhere you look, you can see the huge shadow outline of the Tyranid biological ship.
"I hope everything goes well for the fleet. This place is now desperate..."
After muttering to himself for a while, Bahram decided to go to the parapet to inspect the wall and give the soldiers some confidence. So after asking a soldier to look at it for him, he turned around and picked up the broken-horned evil star and hung it on his waist.
Go down the stairs towards the parapet.
"Uncle, what is this?"
Opening the iron lunch box handed out above, Xiao Fei suddenly scooped up the viscous liquid inside with a spoon, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed as he watched the small pearl-like particles slowly falling along the light gray trajectory.
But Hayes opposite him just stuffed it into his mouth and nodded while chewing.
"Well, it tastes very good. Why don't you try it?"
"real or fake..."
At this time, the cook who distributed the lunch boxes came over, sat on the ammunition box nearby, and said while eating his own:
"I don't know the goods. This is a specialty of the original garden world. It is a special grain specially cultivated for those high-ranking priests and nobles. It is called pearl rice. If you hadn't come here to fight, you, the wild boar, would never be able to eat this kind of fine chaff in your life.
.”
"You're so bragging——"
Xiao Feidu curled his lips, then took a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth.
The next moment, his eyes flashed, and the classic folk music of the Empire "Tera Thousand Miles of Palace Wall" sounded in his mind. At that moment, he seemed to be wearing only a pair of beach shorts and jumped from a high place into a blue ocean.
When people are submerged in the refreshing sea water, they are also surrounded by countless moist and smooth pearls.
"This, this is simply!"
Then he scooped out a few spoonfuls and showed a happy expression as he ate and chewed under the smiling gaze of Hayes.
"The taste is really amazing! How can cereal have such a texture and sweetness!"
"Otherwise, it's a special supply of grain. I heard from my cousin who works in the General Logistics Department that after searching the entire planet, he only got more than two hundred tons. That gentleman just gave it all to you big-headed soldiers to eat.
.”
"Will there be any more in the future?"
"You thought you were traveling?"
Hayes smiled and shook his head, picked up a fork, forked the heated meat in the can and put it into his mouth.
"This is a war. There is delicious food now. After a while, you can eat ration bars every day."
"Uncle, I think these Tyranids are nothing. The numbers are quite intimidating, but they will still be wiped out in one shot."
"Well, the headquarters has made good arrangements and the deployment is very targeted. If we had followed the empire's standard tactics and regulations, we might still be fighting the Tyranid on the wall now. More importantly, our firepower is too strong.
It has far exceeded the standards of the Empire's general Astra Militarum."
Hearing this, Xiao Fei Dun put down the lunch box that he had licked clean and asked curiously:
"Uncle, did you have poor firepower before?"
"Is it bad?"
Hayes smiled bitterly, put down the spoon, and touched the blindfold with his hand.
"At that time, our company only had two machine guns, and the infantry only had one gun, one bayonet, and six grenades. When fighting started, everyone rushed forward with their guns in hand."
As he spoke, Hayes gradually fell into memories and his voice became deeper.
"...We have to sacrifice our lives even for cultists with crude weapons. Even fire support and air support are just like a dream... If we encounter Chaos Space Marines, more people will die.
Class by class, one class after another... When facing the most terrifying metal demon, even if there is only one gun left, you have to be nailed to the position... You can't understand that in desperate moments, only bayonets and
What it's like to fight against the enemy... I'm glad you don't have to go through this."
"Uncle, did you ever meet that legendary King of Soldiers at that time?"
"King of Soldiers? What..."
"It's the kind of propaganda that says one person can overwhelm an enemy's army."
"Ha, this kind of person...if I must say it, our regiment was once fortunate enough to fight side by side with the 2nd Regiment of Catachan Jungle Warriors. I'm not sure if they are the kings of soldiers, but whether it is Colonel Stryker the Iron Hand,
Or Stonetooth Huck, or Ma Bo, they can all be called warriors who can defeat a hundred."
"Wow, that's really such a compliment——"
Hayes, who had his head lowered, did not notice the change in Little Feton's expression or his movement to stand up.
Not only him, but all the soldiers around him put down what they were doing and stood at attention in one direction to salute.
"This company commander, have you participated in the Maelstrom Expedition?"
Hearing this rich voice, Hayes suddenly raised his head, only to find that he was covered by a huge shadow. He quickly put down the square box, turned around and saluted.
"grown ups!"
What appeared in front of him was a Space Marine wearing silver-gray armor, without a helmet, with a young face and a smile. Different from the irritable temperament of most Space Marines, he had a certain
There is a very unique sense of gentleness, combined with the neatly cut hair, giving him the air of a scholar.
Standing here is none other than Bahram. He had been patrolling all the way. When approaching Hayes's company, he heard Hayes' words and immediately became interested. Although he knew that the legion had recruited many retired soldiers from the Maelstrom, but
This was the first time I met him in person.
"You're not disturbing everyone's meal, are you? You don't have to stand all the time, keep going, keep going."
Bahram smiled and waved his hand, and the surrounding soldiers returned to their original positions, but no one dared to speak. They just ate in silence while carefully watching the Space Marine.
"Where are you from?"
"Reporting to the commander, this company belongs to the 2nd Battalion of the 73rd Regiment of the 13th Division of Kermansha! Company Commander Hayes Bathory!"
"Captain Hayes, don't be restrained. I'm just here to inspect the situation at each position, and I happened to hear you talking about your past service."
Hayes put down his hand and replied cautiously:
"Sir, I used to serve in Abubakari's 310th Infantry Regiment. The commander was Arni Morales."
"Arni Morales..."
Bahram paused for a moment and remembered the name.
"Oh, is it the new Governor Badab? Are you actually a soldier under him?"
