"They seem to be eating grass?"
After hearing Talos say that these creatures were beasts raised by green skins, Soshyan immediately increased his vigilance and ordered the team to disperse.
"Where to eat grass?"
"On the ground, of course."
Soshyan pointed to the hard clay on the ground, and mixed with the stink of these giant creatures, he smelled another stink.
"There's blood, there's a lot of it."
While they were talking, the beasts also sensed the aura of the invaders and left the corpses they had been devouring.
The heads of these beasts are huge and thick, with powerful jaws that act like powerful claws.
They roar, baring jagged fangs that look more like torture devices than tools of a predator.
"They found us."
Talos raised his bolter and took aim.
"The greenskins nearby must have noticed it too."
Before he finished speaking, there was a familiar roar.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! ! ! !
"coming!"
Urged on by these roars, the squiggly pack charged and the ground trembled.
"It doesn't look easy to deal with."
Soshyan said as he opened fire and gave orders to the team.
"Everyone, concentrate your firepower and eliminate the target as far away as possible! Mark, you are responsible for the flank of the team, be careful of greenskin sneak attacks."
Facing the impact of the hordes of giant beasts, the Astral Knights did not panic at all, and quickly organized a solid defense line. The heavy weapon operators stood on the front line, pouring continuous fierce artillery fire on the enemy.
Raindrops of bombs hit the tough skin of the skoog beast, bringing out a large amount of flesh and bone, and then the roar turned into a scream of pain and anger.
The giant beast that rushed at the front quickly fell down.
Soshyan fired a precise shot with his plasma pistol at his target's forelimb. The beast's joints were immediately shattered, its forelimbs split in two, and then it fell to the ground, rolling and roaring.
The two similar creatures behind it immediately lost interest in the Space Marines and began to attack the fallen companion, tearing open its exposed abdomen with claws and teeth. Within a moment, the body was covered with the blood of its companions.
The fallen beast's internal organs were hollowed out, and its belly fell on its sides like a canvas, but it was still alive, its limbs twitching, its tail lashing the ground, and it was just a pile of flesh and blood waiting to rot.
In just a moment, dozens of Scrooge lizards fell down. Some of them were still grabbing the bodies, but the momentum of the avalanche charge was still unstoppable.
The Space Marines continued to fire without hesitation. The shortening of the distance caused a surge in damage. The clearing turned into a slaughterhouse, and the stench of blood filled everyone's nostrils.
In this hot and humid rain forest, there is a suffocating smell, which is also the smell of enemies falling.
The Scrooges fell one after another, and their number was reduced by half as they approached the Space Marines. However, they had enough numbers and a fearless spirit to rush to the front.
"Spread out and crush them!"
Under Soshyan's command, the battle line spread to the left and right, and the heavy weapons fighters moved to both sides, and then formed a crossfire to hunt these beasts - they moved quickly and accurately, crushing the heavy explosive shells and assault cannons in their hands All flesh and blood before me.
But there were casualties in the process.
A certain giant beast bit the left arm of a warrior who didn't move fast enough. Under the terrifying mouth, the ceramite armor shattered like bones.
Soshyan heard the soldier's shout on the channel, howling angrily like a wild beast.
But he was too far away to help the bitten warrior.
At this time, another person stood up.
From Soshyan's sight, he saw Talos leaping towards the skoog beast. He fixed the bolter, held the chain sword with both hands, and without saying a word, slashed the weapon towards the beast's throat.
His movements were as perfect and graceful as machinery, and although the weapon was huge, it was as light and quick as a sword in his hand.
The next second, the chain saw shredded the monster's skin, and both the machine and the animal screamed, one because it was running, the other because of the pain of dying.
A waterfall of blood spurted from Scrooge's neck, washing the bitten warrior from head to toe - but at least he was free.
"Thanks."
After thanking Talos, the warrior covered his almost broken arm and retreated behind the battle line to receive emergency treatment from the pharmacist.
The head of the huge skoog beast hung down with the remaining half of its skin, and the body stood for five seconds before falling to the ground.
The Astral Knights continued to exert pressure, compressing the skoogs within the fire net. The fragile flesh and blood soon could not withstand such a blow. The sound of explosions was covered by the surrounding dense jungle. Bloodstains were spread on the ground, and the clay became It turned into black, solidified mud. This place is no longer flat land, it has become a swamp.
Bleeding flesh and broken bones can be seen everywhere. The charge of the skoog beasts was defeated. They lingered in chaos and pain, attacking each other regardless of friend or foe.
One of them broke out of the encirclement, its huge mass and momentum allowing it to successfully break through, even though blood kept coming out of the bullet holes. .
The target it chose was Soshyan, and it roared and rushed over, opening its jaws, trying to bite the target's head.
Soshyan dodged this move sideways, and in an instant smashed the beast's jaw with his fist, driving its teeth into its belly.
The giant Skoog beast roared and staggered to the side. Soshyan swung his sword, and the huge head fell to the ground instantly.
Just when everyone thought that the battle was over and all that was left was simple massacre, the accident happened again!
"Chapter Leader! New enemies have appeared, huge in number!"
It was Mark's voice, quickly drowned out by the roar of the bombs.
Soshyan turned around and saw many colorful meat balls pouring out of the dense jungle like a flood from a bursting bank - each of them was half as tall as an adult.
"These are green-skinned beasts too, save bullets! Use melee weapons!"
Talos was well-informed and recognized the giant hopping immediately.
"Watch their mouths!"
Soon, the warriors put away their bolters and roared, slashing left and right with various melee weapons, slicing through groups of brightly colored spherical bodies.
The ground soaked with thick blood has turned into a puddle of mud. Soshyan hates these opponents who have an advantage in numbers. Every time he cuts ten squirks like fruits, there are another twenty. It lunged at him with its large mouth with yellow jagged fangs.
The orc spores in the shattered corpse of Scrooge emitted a pungent smell like carrion, which had begun to overwhelm the atmosphere of the jungle.
These vicious little monsters pounce on their targets with short, powerful bounces while stimulating the senses with muffled noises - there are just too many of them.
Soon, the warriors were standing back to back, forming battle circles to avoid exposing their sides to the ferocious beasts.
