After putting aside those meaningless thoughts, Creed took the command vehicle and quickly arrived at the starting point of the next attack. After passing through the slums, it was the key defensive area of the enemy's lair. This area mainly consists of water stations, transportation stations and some warehouses. , not only the upper and lower structures are complex, but also the enemy has deployed a large number of defense facilities.
The battle was fierce from the beginning, with nine regiments, including the 8th Cadian Regiment, attacking on a fifteen-kilometer-long front.
Heavy artillery and tanks destroyed enemy fire points one after another, and the infantry companies spearheaded by commandos quickly passed through underground passages and overhead beams. However, the heretics also deployed a large number of mines, booby traps and automatic turrets, and death occurred every minute. The blood of heretics and loyal soldiers flowed in the ditches on both sides of the streets.
Under the multi-faceted attack of the Cadian Legion, the Heretic's defenses began to crumble.
"Well, if we go deeper from here, we should be able to break through the enemy's prepared defense line."
Creed did not direct from a distance, but was still on the front line as before.
He looked across with a telescope. A thick layer of smoke shrouded the undulating ruins. The air was filled with traces of tracer bullets and traces of laser guns. The explosion of artillery shells and the screams of the wounded and dying filled the eardrums.
At the same time, the multi-barreled laser cannon of the Chimera command vehicle under him also started shooting, shooting dense and not very scattered beams into the drifting smoke, and then he heard the sound of something being detonated, probably enemy ammunition. Or hidden soil bombs - these things are often disguised as random debris on the roadside, but filled with a large amount of explosives. Although they cannot damage armored vehicles, they pose a great threat to light vehicles and soldiers.
"Why aren't the artillery supports here yet? These lazy dogs, I have to—"
Just when Creed was about to use long-distance communication to send a greeting in Cadian dialect to the rear artillery regiment, a series of rocket barrages roared across his head. He immediately picked up the telescope and watched the rockets point toward the distance. Called disappear.
Half a second later, a series of explosions illuminated the world behind the smoke.
After several rounds of shooting, Creed was convinced that the enemy's reserves had been blown to pieces and ordered the entire regiment to move forward.
Most of the enemies guarding the reserve defense line were driven residents of the Underhive. Although they suffered a natural disaster, the remaining people still rushed towards Cadian's steel torrent in extreme anger.
But their attacks were in vain, tracks crushing skulls, bolters tearing torsos, and flamethrowers and melta guns burning skin and bone.
Soon, as the Cadian 8th moved, their progress was only hindered by the corpses of the rebels who lay dead at their feet.
However, the Red Pirates would not let the Imperial Army approach the Middle Nest so easily.
Just as Creed was commanding his troops to quickly pass through the exploded minefields and reserve defense lines, the high slope ahead was suddenly filled with electricity, and the originally dark battlefield turned dark.
Creed immediately realized what was happening——
Teleport!
The energy from the Warp crackled wildly as it was released, and new entities soon appeared on the battlefield.
It seemed to Creed that the door to the darkest nightmare had opened, and a squad of Chaos Space Marines appeared among the rebels. Their ancient crimson armor was inlaid with various horrific and morbid decorations, full of Inspired by chaotic twisted imaginations and depraved desires, belts made of skulls are casually tied to the armor, rotten long-haired scalps or skulls decorate helmets, and razor-sharp spikes wrap around most pauldrons.
However, there is a common symbol on every complex model of power armor.
Red pirate black logo.
Perhaps other Astra Militarum would be intimidated by the sudden appearance of Chaos Space Marines, but not the Cadian. Their natural mission is to fight these most evil beings.
"A dozen heretics are here to die! Put them down! For the Emperor!"
With Creed's encouragement, the soldiers of the 8th Cadian Regiment immediately turned their fire on the newcomers, and all armored vehicles also opened fire at the same time.
A hail of deadly shells rained down on the Red Corsairs' Chaos Space Marines, and although the human rebels around them were torn to shreds, only two Chaos Space Marines fell before they could fight back with their own weapons, Cadi The Anren unleashed their long-suppressed rage on the twisted former Emperor's warriors before them.
"go ahead!"
Creed's command sword pointed forward, a cold hatred flowing through his veins.
At this time, a Red Corsair Space Marine raised his hand and aimed a plasma gun at Creed's command vehicle turret. Jalan Kyle noticed this in time and pulled Creed off the roof of the vehicle. down.
Then a flash of white light flashed, and the turret of the Chimera command vehicle was torn apart by a ball of blazing flames.
Creed glanced at his burning command vehicle. The destruction of the turret had not yet affected the vehicle, but it was obviously temporarily unusable.
"Flagbearer, follow me."
Correspondents reported traces of Chaos Space Marines being spotted on all fronts, and it was clear that the Red Corsairs intended to hold the road to the Middle Hive and had put real effort into doing so.
But this could not stop the Qadian attack. The commander of the battle group quickly threw in another nine regiments. They not only had to break through the obstacles, but more importantly, they had to seize time - everyone hoped to get the honor of being the first to break through, and now The Kriegs were also very fast in other directions. Catachan seemed to have a regiment approaching the defenses of the Middle Nest at an incredible speed. The Cadian generals were dissatisfied with this.
They have such powerful troops, such strong firepower, and so much armor. It is unacceptable if their progress is slower than those of the living dead and the savages in the jungle.
"Dude, you're going too far."
Jalan Kyle grabbed the flag with one hand and his gun with the other, trying to follow Creed.
"Cadians! Cadians! Come on!"
Creed was still shouting, but suddenly the fatal hiss of the melta gun made him alert.
Then, a wave of pain swept over the charging Cadian soldiers in front, turning a dozen of them into ashes.
Creed scanned the enemy ranks, looking for weapons, and soon found them.
Behind a bunker, about a hundred meters away, was hiding a red pirate Chaos Space Marine using a melta gun.
】
Soon, the melta gun fired again, and a Chimera armored vehicle covering the infantry attack exploded into a superheated ball of flame.
"There! Mien! Call that position with all the firepower of your team!"
Creed locked onto the red pirate who was hiding in the next bunker. Upon hearing his instructions, the heavy weapons team immediately opened fire, sending all armor-piercing rockets and grenades there.
In an instant, a white ball of flame erupted upward from the ground and exploded outward, engulfing the Melta Gunner and a dozen human traitors around him.
