The arrival of the psykers in the World Eater Legion accelerated the pace of their attack. The Terran humans paid an extremely painful price, but failed to prevent everything from happening.
As the wave of attacks receded, Camus looked at the wounded and dead on the ground, his heart bleeding.
Even though the combat effectiveness of the Guards is not as good as that of the group army, they have persisted until now despite a huge casualty ratio. It should have been withdrawn long ago to rest, but their reinforcements are still invisible.
At the same time, he also understood the meaning of the sentence that cannot stop thousands of troops.
No matter how good the defender was at fighting, he would be entangled if he encountered more than three Space Marines. The casualties caused by the Space Marines to Terran humans were even more shocking, forcing him to focus most of his energy on on these special enemies.
The tug-of-war between the two sides continues to this day. Half of the Lower City is in flames of war, and the remaining part may not be able to escape its fate.
What was most unacceptable to the Terran humans was that the lucky civilians fled from their hiding places in a hurry, and the World Eaters killed everyone on sight, which also made them more aware that this was a racial war.
Either defeat the world swallowers and regain the right to survive, or be exterminated by the world swallowers, with no chance of survival.
"Camus can't hold on anymore. If this continues, the guards will be almost exhausted. It's time for us to go on the field."
Lin Guang raised her sword and spear, and the Silver Spear Pegasus behind her stood up one after another.
These people were originally warriors. They stayed here and waited for most of the day, and they could no longer hold themselves back.
Candle Knight Viviana knew that she couldn't follow him, so she said, "I'm going to help Camus, he needs someone there."
"Well, be safe."
"I will."
Watching the Candle Knight leave, translucent wings of light appeared behind Lin Guang, pointing his sword and gun at the team of psykers in front and loudly said: "Destroy these magicians!"
"yes!"
Forty-four Silver Spear Pegasus all assumed a charging stance, and a silver brilliance shone in the darkness, attracting the attention of many world swallowers.
But before they could react, they saw a sword and gun projected from a very far away place. The terrifying power brought the performance of this special weapon to its extreme, like thunder in the sky, tearing apart the earth!
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in an instant, wings of light flapped, and the metal boots of the golden Pegasus stepped onto the ground. Only a loud bang was heard, and the invisible shock wave pushed the world swallowers staggering around. Some even had their bodies torn apart and died tragically. on the spot!
"Another defender?!"
Linguang's surprise attack alerted the colonel who retreated to the rear.
The place where the riot occurred was the place where psykers were concentrated. The defender really knew how to pick a place. Instead of going to the front line to deal with the lower-level ordinary world swallowers, he only looked for tough bones to gnaw on. How could psykers be there? So easy to deal with...
Lin Guang couldn't care about that much now, so he drew out his sword and gun and aimed at the nearest World Eater to strike at him. The opponent tried to use his psychic powers to resist, but was struck diagonally from the shoulder to the thigh by the sharp sword blade, and he fell to the ground dead.
"The intensity is a bit exaggerated. I used the power of the defenders to barely kill this guy. If they all run to the front line, the guard will collapse in an instant, right?"
A world-devourer holding a staff came over from afar, muttering words that Linguang couldn't understand, but she could feel the airflow around her changing, as if she was constantly drawing away with the spell the other person was chanting.
"Go to hell!"
Four lightsabers flew behind Linguang, stabbing the psyker one after another!
The psyker calmly waved the staff in his hand, blocking left and right, and then thrust the staff into the ground. In an instant, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck Linguang!
Linguang's face turned cold as he remembered the World Eater magician he met in that encounter. The opponent could also summon lightning and even a spiritual attack. He had killed most of the soldiers on the death list.
Lightning is indeed fast, but the Knight of Radiance is currently in the state of a defender. The defender itself is also light, and the dodge speed is extremely fast, almost moving in front of the psyker, and the sword and gun stab the enemy's chest without hesitation.
The psyker quickly set up his staff to block, but the sharpness of the sword and gun was far beyond what the staff could bear. In less than a second, not only was the staff chopped into two pieces, but the holder was also cut into pieces. His chest was cut open and blood flowed rapidly.
Linguang showed his personal martial prowess to the extreme, stepping forward to add another kick, kicking the psyker down, stabbing his sword and gun into his head, and even stirring it twice to ensure that the enemy was really dead.
In just a few breaths, she caused terrible damage, killing two psykers and completely shocking the surrounding World Eaters.
"The Defenders are indeed troublesome, just like the Primarch."
The Colonel could no longer sit still and watch his legions being slaughtered like dogs by Terran humans. Ordinary psykers were simply unable to deal with such an enemy.
The only ones who can fight against the Defenders are Space Marines, just as the only opponents for Space Marines are Defenders of the same level.
…
Camus, who was on the front line, keenly noticed the movements of the World Eater Legion. The originally sharp attack intensity suddenly slowed down, which even allowed him to organize one or two counterattacks to regain the lost positions.
"Chief Knight, let's lead the brothers to charge again!"
"Yes, as long as we continue to launch a counterattack, everything will be fine!"
"The World Eaters are obviously shrinking their formation!"
The strange movements of the World Eaters aroused the suspicion of Terran humans.
Camus looked at the shimmering light on her body and realized that it was Lin Guang who had taken action. She was trying to reduce the pressure on herself and buy more time.
Everyone knows that the fall of the Lower City is only a matter of time, depending on how much blood the Guards are willing to pay.
But now this trend has been abruptly curbed.
Because the World Eaters turned back to deal with Lin Guang and the Silver Spear Pegasus led by her, they had no time to take care of the Terran humans on the front line.
Once the Shining Knights fall into passivity, the positions retaken by the front line will be lost again.
The truly effective way to resolve the crisis is the arrival of reinforcements.
Thinking of this, Camus couldn't help but smile bitterly. If reinforcements were to arrive, he might as well think about how to help Linguang gain opportunities.
"Brothers, it's time to launch a counterattack, let these world swallowers see our power!"
The guard regiments with a strong will to fight raised their weapons one after another, and cheers resounded like a tsunami over the lower city.
…
Many years later, when people were curious about how Xiacheng District fell into the hands of the World Swallowers, they always found that the details could not be found in any human historical records. Almost all the records of the carriers were just a passing glance.
It wasn't until one day that Ioletta, who had personally experienced the war, wrote a passage in her memoirs that opened a corner of the curtain for people.
But it's just a corner.
