According to Ouranios's opinion, Arni rearranged the position and set up several circular positions based on the original trenches. He placed the concentrated anti-vehicle team and some heavy firepower teams in them and deployed them in advance. A large number of anti-infantry and anti-armor mines.
However, the enemy did not give them much time. When the minelaying was just halfway through, a savage and terrifying howl accompanied by the sound of rock shattering came from the front of the defensive position.
Following a slight earthquake, a huge mechanical insect-like thing broke through the rock and rushed out, then opened a ramp as big as a bloody mouth.
Just when they thought a large number of enemies would run out of it, the head of this giant machine suddenly lit up.
"Avoid the gun!!!"
Olanios seemed to know what was going to happen and roared. Hayes and the others immediately stumbled back into the trench, and then the ground began to shake with the explosion.
They gasped and lay on the ground holding their heads, listening to all kinds of horrible sounds screaming, roaring and roaring above them.
After a few minutes, it seemed that the attack was finally over. Hayes and the others cautiously poked their heads out. What greeted them was a battlefield that was riddled with craters everywhere. They didn't even know whether it was artillery shells or something else that attacked them, but some trenches were already filled with bombs. Only piles of dead bodies remained.
Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Hess suddenly felt dizzy.
But at least he's still alive.
When looking at the machine that penetrated the rock wall, Hayes was surprised to find that its shape had changed, and it seemed to have turned into a high bronze wall that looked like a devil's smiling face, covered with weapons that resembled claws and fangs. The demon's jaw slowly opened and a real door opened.
"Kill!!!"
Amidst the sound of drums and shouts, countless cultists opened the door glowing with red light. Hayes finally understood why the front position fell so quickly.
"this thing."
Looking at the evil mechanical door, Arni felt deeply uneasy. If he guessed correctly, this thing itself should also be a demon engine, and its size and strength were even more amazing. Not only could it penetrate solid rock formations, It also provides ferocious cover fire.
Now I don’t know what kind of structure is behind this thing, let alone how many enemies are behind it. The best response is to destroy it.
But this is underground, and their heavy artillery and vehicles are of little use.
Suddenly, an idea came to mind, and Arni made a quick decision.
"Order the rear artillery battalion to quickly transport the ground-shaking cannon to the front line! Also order the Hydra anti-aircraft vehicle crew to unload the anti-aircraft cannon!"
At this time, Hayes and the others couldn't think of much. The only thing they could think about was to use everything they had to fire at the enemy.
Laser guns, logging guns, grenade launchers and all small arms were roaring, knocking down one crazy cultist after another, but they seemed to be endless and kept pouring in. No matter how many screaming fellows died, their attacks would never stop. Will be shaken.
When the "lucky man" who was at the forefront approached the defense line 150 meters away, a soldier holding a flamethrower stood up, stood up straight, pointed the barrel of the gun at the trench guardrail, and fired at the nearest enemy. The army unleashed an ever-expanding cone of yellow and black firepower.
Screaming, the hordes of heretics disappeared in the burning mist of agony.
Soon, all Hayes could see was a curtain of fire rising directly in front of him, while the air was filled with thick smoke and the unpleasant smell of burning alien flesh.
Just as the fire-breathing soldiers jumped back into the trenches, dull gunshots rang out, and several of them were directly cut off at the waist, and their broken bodies fell into the trenches.
The Chaos Space Marines appear.
They drove more cultists like a crimson wave of madness. Many Chaos Space Marines held a huge pistol in one hand and a chainsword or chainaxe in the other hand. They looked scarier than what Hayes had seen before. The upper body of the armor was covered with traces of distortion and mutation. He even saw an existence that was taller than other Chaos Space Marines. Its armor was so thick and its helmet Flanked by protruding yellow sickle-like tusks on either side, a row of three severed human heads hung like grotesque spectators on trophy spikes at the monster's rear.
When the huge twin bolter in the opponent's hand opened fire, Hayes heard the bullets whistling past him. His laser gun seemed to react out of its own will, and a laser shot from the humanoid beast. flew over the shoulder and hit a trophy in the back.
At the same time, Habri also controlled heavy explosive shells to fire, hitting the enemy's chest, but the huge monster was not afraid and did not slow down at all.
"That's the Terminator! Anti-vehicle team! With the plasma cannon!"
When Hayes fired at it again, a volley of plasma hit the monster's left leg, shoulder, chest, and then face.
Until finally, the seemingly unstoppable monster let out one last angry roar and fell to the ground dead.
But any brief sense of joy that Hayes felt at victory soon dissipated as he saw more Chaos Space Marines appear, as well as the massive monsters known as Terminators.
At the same time, the huge "door" began to roar again, huge fireballs, and various screaming flame skulls flew out from its eyes and bushy muzzles and claws, over the heads of the heretics Hit the empire's defense line.
A machine gun squad had no time to move, and Hayes watched as they were instantly engulfed in the flames of the explosion. Some even flew four to five meters, letting out chilling screams.
Under the intensive bombing, many automatic cannons, grenade launchers and laser cannons fell silent despite reasonable deployment and strong bunkers.
"Withdraw! Withdraw to the defense line behind!"
The officers began to transfer their call signs, and Hayes's squad also quickly put away the heavy explosive bombs and ran towards the next circular position. At this time, the artillerymen of their regiment had brought the Earthshaker to the rear of the battlefield, but in fact they were not far from the front line of the battle. It's not very far, less than a thousand meters away.
The soldiers began to run towards the rear front, swiping their legs at a desperate speed. Bullets, shrapnel and lasers were flying around them. Many people fell to the ground and died in the tide, their bodies stabbed by shrapnel and bullets. Wear it, or be torn into bloody pieces by the explosion.
"Shock bomb!"
Ouranios shouted into his comm link.
"Throw a blast bomb!"
In response, within seconds a long wall of flashes and blasts of air appeared in front of their former trench.
If the soldiers could be moved to new lines immediately, they might survive, but for most this would merely delay death.
