"Hmph! You are not overestimating your own abilities!"
Seeing that Bahram didn't reply, the Bloodsmoke Swordsman changed his moves and swung away Bahram's sword, then slammed the space warrior's chest with his front foot, knocking him to the ground.
Bahram immediately rolled twice on the ground, dodged behind the enemy's sword, stood up and fought off the four blows that followed, but the fifth blow broke through his defense and pierced his left shoulder plate.
The force of the impact tore the plastic steel apart and knocked Bahram out.
“Bahram!!”
Sabourin screamed and looked at Talos.
"Company commander."
Talos did not speak, seeming to be thinking about something.
The Blood Smoke Swordsman pulled out his sword, and blood overflowed from the cracks it caused.
Bahram grunted and stood up again, the pain suppressants already beginning to circulate in his body, but he didn't look good.
The demon took a step back, its blade twisting again, transforming into a massive vortex sword.
"A worthless skull, what a pity!"
The demon raised his sword above his head and shoulders, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
Talos snorted and threw the sword forward with all his strength.
When the sword hit the first pillar supporting the altar, the blade had already swung towards Bahram's head, and the blue force field penetrated the thick wooden pillar, as if it did not exist.
Then the blade went on to penetrate the next pillar, and the next, and by the time it struck the fourth pillar, it was only a blink of an eye before it left Talos's hand.
The altar began to loosen, and when it cut through the sixth, its complete collapse was a foregone conclusion.
Bahram was the first to feel the effect, as the wood beneath his feet suddenly gave way, and the Demon Blade was about to mark it, but it dodged safely over his head.
The unbalanced demon fell forward onto a pile of fallen logs.
But Bahram seized the opportunity to escape from the shaking. He was deeply humiliated by the situation where he was almost beheaded by the demon. His breathing gradually became heavier and his body temperature began to drop rapidly.
"Um?"
The demon's eyes were still burning, but the fire began to flicker, and it sensed that some strange force was invading this body.
"Remember! You died at the hands of a man named Bahram!"
Bahram raised his sword and walked straight over the ruins of the altar, heading straight for the demon.
The surging gray marrow formed a biting soul storm around him, and the Blood Smoke Swordsman immediately retreated quickly.
"Okay! It seems you are a target worth harvesting! I will come again when my body adapts to the world -"
The next second, the blade was embedded in the remains of the altar, and the demon disappeared.
"this--"
Bahram couldn't react for a moment. He looked at the failed sword and froze on the spot.
"It's gone. This is not an ordinary thing. Even if the great demon of Khorne comes, he may not be able to get an advantage from it. It is estimated that Soshyan will have to come to deal with it... I didn't let you support me just now. It’s because you won’t be of much use except for killing a few more people.”
Talos sighed softly, walked to the ruins and picked up his sword.
"The water to expel the mourning stars...is getting muddier."
Only he could hear the last words.
"That wound is deep, brother, from a demonic weapon. You should return to the fleet and have the apothecary check it out,"
Sabourin walked up and checked the wounds on Bahram's body. His purpose of doing so was actually to prevent soldiers from other companies from approaching.
There are too many secrets about Bahram. For example, his current sudden drop in body temperature is a problem that is difficult to explain. Talos told him to always pay attention to covering up the situation on Bahram.
"I'm fine, it's just that my armor is worse than me."
Bahram smiled and pointed at the damaged power armor on his body. As the battle subsided, the gray marrow flowing in his body also stopped.
Sabourin shook his head, took out the nail plate on the opponent's leg to observe the wound more carefully, and treated the solidified wound.
"Why are you so eager to bear it alone? Is it possible that the great Bahram has tired of the secret Company 11 and wants to die heroically?"
"Because I am the deputy company commander, I have the obligation and responsibility to protect you."
At this time, Li Lin roared on the side.
"Do you think we are a bunch of kids?"
Bahram stood up, the clotting tear on his shoulder worsening, but there was no expression on his face, just a slight smile.
"You are indeed just a group of boys, a group of powerful boys. Therefore, I have more responsibility to help you successfully become warriors and heroes, because there is a high probability that one day I will die before you, whether it is due to death in battle or other reasons. What, you represent the future hope of the Chapter."
"Well--"
Li Lin opened his mouth, but didn't say a word. He just stood aside with some annoyance.
Talos just watched all this calmly until his communicator was activated on the command channel.
"Captain Talos."
A steady voice drifted through the sea of static.
"Intelligence feedback showed that the Kadian 99th Regiment, which was heading to Fortress No. 7 to support, was ambushed by a large-scale enemy force. The Krieger 116th Regiment had already gone to support. The Chapter Commander ordered the 11th Company to go to support at the same time. He also wanted to relay a sentence Let me tell you, the fish is already hooked.”
Talos raised his eyebrows and then responded.
"Copy that, Company 11 will go to support immediately."
After turning off the communicator, he turned to the soldiers of the 11th Company and said:
"There's new life."
"Company commander, what is it?"
Li Lin immediately jumped out and asked impatiently.
Talos glanced at him, and then answered calmly.
"The 99th Cadian Regiment was blocked by the enemy on its way to support Fortress No. 7."
"Go support the mortals."
Li Lin suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball.
Sablin heard something different. He opened his tactical panel and looked at it for a while, then asked.
"The Kadian 99th Regiment is a mechanized infantry regiment. If we want to stop them, ordinary cultists may not be able to do it, right?"
"Yes, it's a large enemy force, and there are also an unknown number of Chaos Space Marines."
"It seems that the black army is very determined to attack Fortress No. 7."
Speaking of this, Sablin's heart suddenly jumped, and he seemed to have grasped the key.
"Wait a minute, the support from Fortress No. 5 and No. 6 is relatively smooth, but the enemy in Fortress No. 7 has invested so much strength-"
Sabourin looked at Talos.
The prophet nodded, accepting the other party's guess.
"Yes, I speculate that the person commanding the siege of Fortress No. 7 must be at least a Chaos Lord. This is a big fish."
As he spoke, Talos put on his helmet, then walked to the passenger seat of a Land speed attack craft parked on the edge of the battlefield, and waved to everyone - this Land speed attack craft had just been unloaded from the roaring Thunderhawk. Come down.
"Why are you standing still! Take action now!"
"yes!"
The recruits responded in unison and found their own motorcycles and vehicles one after another. Soshyan's equipment requirements for the 11th Company were very generous, and Talos basically gave him whatever he asked for.
"You are injured, please take my car."
Sabrin took Bahram to the Land Speeder he was driving. After placing him in the co-pilot seat, he started the engine.
Accompanied by the roar of the engines one after another, the Eleventh Company left the destroyed stronghold like the wind and headed straight for the battlefield 100 kilometers away.
