As Brooke's gaze, lightning flashes after lightning strikes the apex of the alien fortress, causing its turrets to burn with flashing ghost fire.
Around the pyramid, space undead infantry patrolled tirelessly, tide-like tomb scarabs and other constructs were everywhere, dragging a large number of corpses and debris to satisfy the pyramid's hunger.
This is an extremely stubborn fortress. The imperial army was repelled by it several times on counterattacks. Its terrible lethality caused hundreds of thousands of casualties. In order to give it a fatal blow, the superiors decided to adopt underground excavation fortifications.
Brooke estimated that his position was about four hundred meters away from the alien fortress, which just met the requirements of a range of five hundred meters, so he immediately retracted into the passage, and the attacking aliens had basically been solved, although the company also suffered extremely huge casualties.
"I'm notifying the above quickly! We have completed the mission! Strengthen the passage immediately! Dispose of the garbage, and the enemy will likely counterattack!"
“Destroy them!”
Sabrin roared, and the chain halberd in his hand pierced out, piercing the thin chest of a necromancer, and then the roaring serration made its body tremble.
When he pulled out the chainsaw halberd, the green mixed with silver liquid splashed out, and he poked different targets five or six times at extremely fast speed.
The alien corpses began to pile up into mountains in front of the guardrail of the fortress of the Legal Department, but their offensive did not weaken at all. With the screams of tearing the air, the guns of the two sides turned into one-way ravages. The city walls trembled and made sharp sounds under the continuous bombardment of Gauss. The cannons on the guardrail were silent. Li Lin had no time to see them, but he guessed that the damn Tesla arcs had killed the last group of gun team members.
Now he was fighting in the gap in the city wall, and the enemies flocked to him, shooting while scraping along the edge of the Terminator's armor with a simple blade. The green lightning cast a dazzling color on the battlefield. The casualties of both mortals and Space Marines continued to rise, but even the seriously injured soldiers continued to fight until their bodies dissipated in the screaming lightning.
But Sabrin knew that the defense line could not last long, and the resistance of New Vasburg had reached the end of his life. Five hours ago, he had lost contact with the last Orps legion. Although Talos repeatedly asked him to persevere, the large army would soon launch a counterattack, but the sudden appearance of the enemy's fortress became a cancer on the ruins of New Vasburg. It firmly blocked the pace of reinforcements, and Sabrin saw everything clearly.
He could completely transfer, but for sixteen hours of resistance, the temporary command post and the last two bunkers it protected were filled with more than half a million refugees and wounded soldiers. How could Sabrin get out?
This is the most stressful time he has been in since becoming a Space Marine, not just his personal life and death.
For the first time, Sabrin felt that the weight of millions of lives was weighing on his shoulders. In the past, he was just a warrior who carried out orders, and his attitude towards life and death was actually very negligent, but this time his concept changed fundamentally.
When he gave the officers a mortal task, they all bowed silently and turned away. Sabrin even knew nothing about them before, but only watched them explain their funerals at the military officers and store some personal belongings. When they walked out of the command post, there was no news, and together with the dusty, scarred and exhausted soldiers, they disappeared into the ruins of the dark nest.
Sabrin even felt a sense of guilt for a while, as if he was the executioner.
But he has no choice!
The defense line was constantly squeezed and key nodes were lost. Although the defense forces in various places were not about to collapse in the face of the enemy's offensive, they could only say that they could not last long. Even the soldiers of the 11th Company were running around to support the battlefield almost for a moment, they could not stop the enemy's offensive, and even slowed down for a long time. In this process, the company added a lot of casualties, which made Sabrin feel even more guilty.
But Talos's order is very clear - to defend it with the most resolute attitude, you must attract the enemy to invest heavily in New Vassburg, and even the main force. As long as the resistance here continues, the enemy will continue to increase its troops.
He did this, and the defenders of New Vasburg told the enemy in their most fearless and desperate posture that they were still here and that the nest had not yet fallen!
Finally, when the enemy raised the fortress in the New Gasburg, Sabrin knew that his mission had been completed.
But his own mission was not completed.
He wants to bring as many people as possible to live. This is not a task given by the above, but a task assigned by himself.
"This is!"
Just as Sabrin kicked the wreckage of a space undead from his feet, the ground suddenly shook, and the huge metal structure shattered with a heavy ominous sound. Sabrin took a risk and looked back and saw that the area behind the guard wall leading to the communication spire on the left side of the Legal Department had collapsed, and a large pile of rolling metal emerged from the ground, splashing deadly fragments at the surrounding defenders.
The huge mechanical spider jumped into the air like a big fish breaking out of the water, and then slammed heavily on a group of screaming soldiers, crushing them together.
For a moment, everyone stood on the spot in shock, trying to digest the shocking twists in front of them, so that the battle seemed to have been suspended.
Then, huge metal plates on both sides of the huge underworld spider fell down, and the screaming corpse nobleman and his clutched servants rushed out - this underworld spider is also a unique variant of Menak, called the mother spider, with transportation capabilities and able to carry twenty warriors at a time to launch an assault from the enemy's unexpected feet.
"retreat!"
Realizing that there was no possibility of continuing to defend here, Sabrin immediately shouted:
"Retreat to the second line of defense."
The so-called second line of defense is just the exterior wall of the main building of the Ministry of Law fortress, and it is also the last line of defense, which is crowded with refugees and wounded soldiers. Sabrin knew that there was no way out and they would fight there until the last moment until they were wiped out one by one.
As he was about to turn around and evacuate from the thief, a corpse eater staggered towards him, his claws still stained with dripping blood.
Sabrin hit his chainsaw halberd hard in the face, then kicked it in the chest, and he could feel the other party's metal ribs breaking.
When he used a chainsaw to smash the opponent's skull, Yu Guang saw that there was a comrade left around him continuing to fight with him. It was Besse, a veteran in the company. He became a descendant of the Eighth Legion with Sabrin and Li Lin. With his unique sense of humor, he became a very conspicuous person in the company and had a very good relationship with Li Lin.
