An unexpected ceremony completely interrupted the guard's counterattack plan. Those world swallowers seemed to have completely fallen into madness, as if only death could make them completely quiet.
The guard team retreated because of the strange sight in the sky. As time went by, the situation no longer allowed Camus to think too much.
He didn't know what was going on, but the current situation was definitely not something that could be overcome by willpower.
"We still have one-third of the space in Lower City. Since the World Eaters want it so much, let's give it to them!"
The chief knight made a prompt decision and ordered the troops to retreat immediately, throwing down all defense lines.
This blocking battle can no longer be fought. They have no support, but the world swallowers have been strengthened. If this continues, the remaining more than a thousand people in the guard will probably die here.
Leaving the lower city area, they still have enough strategic space to move around.
"We must inform Knight Yao, we can't let her stay behind all the time."
Camus didn't think much about it. After arranging the next marching route, he said a few words to the adjutant, turned into a ray of light again, and disappeared into the night.
At the speed of the World Devourer, he would definitely not be able to catch up with the light.
There is only one colonel, are they all that strong?
…
On the other side, Linguang also noticed something was wrong. The world-devouring magicians were glowing with dark red light, and an unpleasant smell of blood emanated from their bodies, as if they were undead crawling out of the sea of blood.
"You want to know what this power is?"
The devilish words bewitched the Glory Knight, and she had a feeling in her heart that as long as she spoke easily, she would completely degenerate, and she would never be Margaret Linguang again.
The World Eater magician responded with sharp swords and spears, but this time, the invincible swords and spears were ineffective for the first time.
The invisible wall blocked her attack.
The World Eater Warlock stretched out a hand, and a terrible spell was brewing!
Without hesitation, Lin Guang pulled out the soft sword wrapped around his waist and swung it towards the enemy. It flickered with golden light and struck hard on the face of the World Eater Warlock, cutting out a deep slash. bloodstain.
Looking at the bone-deep wound, red blood flowed out, but the World Eater magician continued to chant spells like a normal person, and the pain and injury became an incentive for them.
"It must have something to do with the vision just now!"
Linguang quickly came up with the answer in her heart, and she kicked him again, then turned and walked away, shouting to the Silver Spear Pegasus who were fighting fiercely behind her: "Retreat!"
She was not the only one to realize that something was wrong. The advantage that the Silver Spear Pegasus had gained at the beginning was lost again in just a few minutes, and there was even a seriously injured person.
Someone shouted: "They performed a strengthening ceremony! These world swallowers have lost their minds. Even after being seriously injured, they will transform into terrifying monsters because of the blood from the wounds!"
"I know! We can't deal with such an enemy. Retreat!"
The Silver Spear Pegasus walked without any hesitation. It was impossible for them to waste their limited power on entangled with the enemy.
World Eaters cannot maintain this kind of enhancement forever, and those who become monsters cannot change back again. This kind of loss cannot be accepted by any country or organization.
At this time, the colonel caught up with him, a ferocious smile appeared on his face: "Everyone, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to leave now, right?"
Lin Guang stopped and turned to look at the speaker. He saw a tall man standing not far away. His strong build and astonishing height proved that he was definitely not from Terra. His identity was about to be revealed, the World Devourer. A senior military officer with a certain status among them.
"You guys retreat first, I'll stop him."
"Knight Yao, be careful."
Silver Spear Pegasus took a deep look at Lin Guang and left without looking back.
The colonel sneered: "You want to cover them?"
Lin Guang said nothing.
She rarely communicates with her enemies.
"It seems that I really have to kill a defender myself today to satisfy God's requirements."
Hearing this, Linguang sneered: "Is your god the kind of guy who turns people into monsters?"
Before he finished speaking, the golden Pegasus suddenly teleported in front of the colonel and stabbed him in the chest with his sword and spear.
The colonel, who had his hands free, could see clearly. He stood in the doorway, his palms folded in front of his chest, clamping the sharp sword and gun.
Linguang was secretly surprised. The sharp sword blade was unable to cut this guy's palm. It was much stronger than the legion commander he had seen before.
But now she had learned enough lessons and immediately transformed into a light form. Four lightsabers appeared behind her, one after another, flying towards the colonel's vital parts.
"You are different from the previous defender who used the Star Sword!"
The colonel used both arms to throw Linguang out at once, waving his fists, and the lightsaber was shattered with every punch!
Seeing that his attacks were being neutralized one by one, Linguang felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that he had met a real master, and he could also name the defender. He should be a terrifying enemy who had fought against the defender before.
At this moment, a ray of blue light came and turned into a human form, it was Camus.
"Knight of Glory."
"chief."
When the two saw each other, neither showed too much surprise.
The colonel shouted: "Come on together!"
He had such a request, and the two defenders had no reason to refuse.
Linguang took the lead in attacking. She changed her previous attitude of opening and closing, brandishing her sword and spear, and stabbed at the colonel continuously. Each thrust was aimed at the vital point. The angle was tricky and extremely difficult to deal with.
Camus raised his hands, and the shadow of the superstar appeared again, pressing down bit by bit!
"Warp blockade."
A disembodied sigh came.
The defenders were shocked to find that there was a strong sense of tearing in the surrounding scenes, as if someone had torn the area they were in from the normal world.
Lin Guang forced the colonel back with one shot, transformed into light, and flew towards the sky. When she reached the end of her reach, she found a black space that was close to nothingness. Her intuition told her that as long as she was tainted in the slightest, she would be completely lost in it. .
The colonel's ridicule came from below: "Do you think I will really fight you? The subspace is blocked, and even light cannot escape..."
"Really?"
Camus said suddenly.
He grabbed Linguang's arm, held his sword in front of him, and turned his whole body into a beam of light, flying towards the artificial blockade.
Then.
Traveled through the past without any obstacles and successfully crossed over!
The colonel's eyes flickered, he reached out and pinched his chin, and murmured: "I thought he was just a simple defender, but I didn't expect that he even learned the skills of the bridge."
"It was your mistake, but the escape of two Defenders is not much of a threat to our plans."
In the darkness, a tall, thin man wearing a black robe walked out. The exquisite robe was embroidered with golden patterns, representing his lofty status.
The unruly colonel didn't say anything, because this person was a powerful psyker that he couldn't afford to offend. The subspace blockade was just a trivial trick. If the world hadn't suppressed psykers too much, those two The defenders have long been prisoners.
"Mr. Mason, how long will it take for you to break the divine power blockade?"
The psychic named Mason said calmly: "Soon."
How fast is it?
The colonel didn't dare ask.
No reason.
The abilities of the psykers are equivalent to crushing for the Space Marines, unless the Primarch comes, and the Primarch, who has his father's genes, can become resistant to psionic energy.
Second-generation Space Marines like the Colonel are far from immune.
"Mr. Mason, how long will it take for the original body to get out of the dormant chamber?"
His answer was still two words.
"Soon."
Mason cleared his throat and said: "You just need to complete your mission. The original body will wake up at the appropriate time. After all, coming to this world was not planned."
"good."
…
When Ioletta rushed to the hinterland of the lower city, she saw a scene that was like a rout. The guards seemed to be fleeing towards the main city, and there were a few civilians who followed them. It looked like a doomsday scene.
She stopped a few people and asked, some said Camus went to assassinate the leader of the World Eaters, some said Camus surrendered, and some asked Casimir if he was going to abandon the mobile city.
After asking around for a while, Ioletta managed to piece together a piece of information that was reasonable.
First, the Guards retreated, not routed, at least they were not defeated when they retreated.
Then, Camus, the supreme commander of the Guard, did disappear. Since there were no officers here, no one knew where he had gone.
"We can't hold the lower city, we're too late."
Ioletta murmured: "It's normal to be unable to defend. If you give me a group army, maybe you can drive the world swallowers out of the city. It seems that it is no longer possible."
The secretary asked: "What should we do now?"
"Take a few people to do one thing. Go now and I'll buy you some time. As long as this thing is done, huh, even if the World Devourers can completely occupy the lower city, they won't get any benefits!"
A flash of fierceness flashed in Ioletta's eyes, she took out the sword from her waist, took off the medal from her coat, and handed it to the secretary together.
"Grand Knight Commander, do you really want to do this?!"
"This is an order!"
The secretary gritted his teeth, took it in his hand, took seven or eight people with him, and turned around and walked into the darkness.
After doing all this, Ioletta immediately set out to gather the remaining soldiers. With the blessing of her personal prestige, the crumbling guards gradually found their positions. Together with the volunteers from the main city, there were all kinds of people, and they actually gathered together. There were two thousand people.
It's just that these two thousand troops lack weapons and medicine, and many of them are still wounded. No one can say how much combat effectiveness they can have.
"Grand Knight Commander, can we really win?"
Many people have this question in their minds, but the only one who really had the courage to ask it was a young man with fluff at the corner of his mouth.
Ioletta stared at the brave young man and wondered, is this child an adult?
"what's your name?"
The boy stammered: "Sir, my name is Andre, and I am a soldier in the Guard."
"Very good. You have the courage to ask questions, which shows that you want to understand your situation. Everyone here, is this what you want to ask?"
Some people made very unconfident voices, while others remained silent.
Ioletta climbed on the roof of a car, trying to make herself visible to everyone. She said loudly: "Fellow Casimir! I am Grand Knight Commander Ioletta, but now my identity Just like you, we are all warriors defending this city, nothing more.
Since you are willing to listen to me, I will also tell you what is on my mind.
Now many people think that the great knights have taken over, and the world swallowers have entered the city, captured the infected land and the lower city, and are heading towards the main city.
The rich men have all run away, and even the National Council has abandoned this place. We might as well run away. Why should we stay and die?
If you want me to say, huh, it's all fart! "
Her words caused a commotion in the crowd, but Ioletta didn't care about it and continued: "We are Casimir people. In the past few decades, in Ursus, Gaul, Victoria and Letania Surviving in the cracks between four countries, everyone thinks we are a piece of fat and wants to take a bite!
But they were wrong!
Ursus fought a total of ten invasion wars against Casimir and lost ten times!
Gaul was destroyed and is still occupied by Victoria!
Victoria is now embroiled in a dispute over the throne, and even the Sakaz people have come to Londinium to get a share of the throne!
Letania was severely weakened after the Four Emperors' War and no longer had the ability to initiate a war!
And we, Casimir, have been laughing until now, we have never lost! "
As Ioletta roared, her voice caused more people to stop and listen, and more and more people gathered.
"Now! Is this just a world swallower going to defeat us?!
If the rich run away, let them run away. Those who have no bones will only be regarded as traitors if they stay!
The National Council is gone, let them go. The capital can be set up in other cities, but the only great knight in our hearts is this one!
I am the Grand Knight Commander, and I will stay here. If this city is destined to be occupied by the World Eaters, I will shed the last drop of my blood here!
Fellow compatriots, the road is at your feet. Those who want to leave can leave. Those who stay, let us do something more for this country!
Casimir people! Behind us is the capital! "
The roar of the mountains and the tsunami came after them.
"Great Knight Commander!"
"Great Knight Commander!"
"Great Knight Commander!"
The passionate slogans resounded across the sky, regrouping a force and straddling the main road leading from the Lower City to the main city.
The people who swore not to take a step back had nothing to lose. They removed all available materials from the surrounding buildings, built bunkers, and organized crisscross lines of defense to form an effective depth of resistance.
…
The Ursus who observed this scene exchanged indifferently:
"Even if this war is won, Ioletta will be asked to resign because of her inappropriate remarks, and the National Assembly will not let her go."
"Her reputation will be raised to the highest level, and those losers in Casimir who only think about money will have to spend a few more minutes to think about the pros and cons."
