Chapter 670 07.669: “The war that ended with the treacherous and powerful (asking for monthly votes!)”

Faced with the surprise attack, Louise, who was already a naval captain, reacted extremely quickly.

The rigorous training she received in Cardia in the past had already formed a deep-rooted conditioned reflex in her.

She flashed and took a quick step back, avoiding the sudden attack.

Then she suddenly raised her leg and kicked the other person hard in the chest.

Phew!

As the kick was thrown, the mud on the sole of the shoe splashed everywhere, splashing onto the Kriegs who were already engaged in a fierce fight around them.

Without waiting for the other party to recover, Louise took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack.

She moved as fast as lightning, grabbing the opponent’s wrist with one hand with incredible precision and clamping his arm tightly, while with the other hand she quickly pulled out the Cadia trench knife from her waist.

This series of actions was swift and smooth, and in the blink of an eye, she had stabbed the tip of the knife into the lens of the Chaos rebel’s gas mask.

puff!

There were sounds of bones breaking and some kind of explosion, and a mixture mainly composed of blood gushed out of the mask.

Louise quickly drew her knife, and the liquid, due to the pressure difference, splashed on her beautiful face.

This sword, which has not been stained with blood for more than ten years, is now moistened by flesh and blood again.

Horatio also saw now the symbol these rebels had tattooed on the foreheads of their leather gas masks – it was the blasphemous symbol of the Tzeentch sect of the Ruinous Force.

He was secretly shocked, because looking across the galaxy, it was rare to see large-scale wars involving Tzeentch’s forces.

The Krieg grenadiers who were guarding them quickly pulled out engineer shovels or homemade spiked maces from their waists and fought desperately with the enemies who jumped into the trenches one after another, trying their best to cover the four people’s departure.

“Hurry up! We don’t have time to waste here!” The staff officer raised his laser pistol and shot the rebels who jumped in front of him and turned to rush towards him, then turned his head and shouted anxiously to Horatio and others.

The grenadiers squad responsible for the escort also decisively left 6 people behind to cover the rear and tried their best to stop this sudden attack. The grenadiers were like gods of war, tearing the rushing rebels to pieces and killing them in the trenches.

It was only after the piercing shock of the suicide bombing that everything fell into dead silence.

Four other grenadiers left their comrades in tacit understanding, protecting Horatio and the other two in the middle with two in front and two in the back, and ran forward quickly.

At the same time, the hurried footsteps of the Kriegs were heard in other communication trenches. They rushed out of the cat ear holes and ran towards their battle positions.

“You scum of the false emperor, let’s die together!” Just when the staff officer felt something was wrong, an attacker in a heavy vest saw officers in bright uniforms passing by, suddenly stood up from his crawling state, and pounced on them like crazy.

“Be careful!” Farida was quick-witted and quick-handed, and shot the man’s shoulder blade in pieces.

However, even so, he continued to rush forward desperately with an indistinct and shrill scream.

A Krieg grenadier guarding the perimeter stepped forward without hesitation and used his body as a human barrier to block the man.

“Go to hell! Go to hell!” The rebel suicide squad member, who was spitting blood, with bloodshot eyes and in an extremely excited state, shouted wildly through the crude gas mask and was about to press the detonator with his hand.

It was also at this moment that Horatio finally saw clearly that the tactical vest on his body was not filled with bulletproof plates, but explosives!

Seeing this, the Krieg Grenadier reached out and tried to grab the detonator, but it was too late.

At the critical moment, the grenadier made a prompt decision and chose to drag the crazy suicide bomber into the cat ear cave next to him.

“Bang!” With a loud bang, the earth shook.

Dirt and debris from the destroyed wooden reinforcements of the trench flew past Horatio’s eyes like raindrops, then fell down, making his uniform look like it was covered in a basin of mud.

The cat ear cave collapsed.

Horatio’s heart tightened, he didn’t know if there was anyone else inside.

But he knew that in such a violent explosion, even if there were people there, there would be no chance of survival.

The violent explosion only destroyed a cat-ear cave, which was where the soldiers rested at night. Even the shooting positions and the logging gun positions protruding from the trenches were not affected, thus preserving their important enemy-defending positions as much as possible.

Horatio was sandwiched between the guards of the Krieg Grenadiers and had no time to care about the damage, so he just hurried forward.

“It’s almost there. We’ll reach the command trench after passing through these communication trenches.” said the staff officer.

“The Krieg’s military headquarters is so far forward?” Horatio couldn’t help but sigh.

“Please get used to it, this is Krieg’s style.” The staff officer said, holding up a laser pistol.

After walking forward for a while, the trench became unbelievably quiet.

“Something’s wrong. Where is the night sentry?” As they hurried forward, the staff officer discovered something was wrong.

“Don’t let the target run away!” Several figures appeared above the trench. They shouted in a dull voice, and their voices were clearly audible through the gas masks.

Beside them lay the bodies of both sides.

There were more than a dozen of them, half buried in the dark mud and hidden by the night.

One of the rebel suicide squad members stood up from his knees, quickly took aim, and then decisively pulled the trigger.

A beam of blazing laser flew past Horatio, causing his face to instantly feel hot.

The two Krieg grenadiers did not exchange any words, but turned around and stopped in unison, voluntarily staying behind to cover the rear of the column.

They skillfully used the Lucius laser guns to block the corners of the communication trench and fired fiercely at the enemies in the rear.

The two cooperated well and took turns to suppress each other.

When one person ran out of energy blocks, he quickly returned to the trench to replace them, while the other person immediately stepped forward to continue suppressing the enemy.

Horatio walked further and further away, watching the two grenadiers’ figures becoming increasingly blurred in his sight. It was not until a grenade was thrown from the other end of the communication trench that the sound of the laser guns stopped abruptly.

The hurried footsteps of the pursuers were heard again from behind.

A Krieg soldier who was resting heard the sound and just came out of the cat ear hole. While he was still looking for traces of the enemy, he was stabbed in the chest with a bayonet by an enemy who had rushed around the corner.

The rebel suicide squad pulled the trigger without hesitation, pointed the muzzle of the gun with the bayonet piercing its body at the Krieg soldiers coming out from behind, and started firing rapidly.

Another person threw a grenade into the cat ear cave. After quickly clearing out all the living people in the cat ear cave, he hurriedly caught up with the other suicide squad members and continued to chase the group of aliens.

Horatio saw clearly that these rebel suicide squads were also extremely elite in combat.

In other words, the rebels who were able to survive in the harsh trench environment for two years had obviously grown and experienced significantly.

They were more difficult to deal with than any rebel soldiers Horatio had ever seen before, which gave the three newcomers to the battlefield a very clear and intuitive understanding of the Krieg’s opponents.

The action tendencies of these Tzeentch cult rebel suicide squads were also very strange, as if they knew their movements very well, and as soon as they arrived, they launched this premeditated raid.

[Could it be that someone of them used the evil power of the warp to predict his arrival?] Horatio couldn’t help but have such a guess in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the colder he felt down his spine.

[Even when the troop transports would arrive was clear? The subspace turbulence encountered by the four armored regiments might even have been summoned by them…]
If this conjecture is true, with the foreknowledge of the prophecy, it is no wonder that the Kriegs had such a hard time fighting.

This was not their fault, but the enemy had predicted their battle plan.

This conjecture made Horatio break out in a cold sweat. He felt as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at him in the dark, and he felt indescribable discomfort all over.

He looked at Farida and Louise, and regardless of whether they were willing or not, he hurried to the back of the team, drew his pistol, and vigilantly guarded behind him.

Silent and hurried footsteps came from the front.

Horatio took a deep breath and was about to raise his gun to aim forward when he saw the reassuring Sky Eagle emblem, which relaxed his tense nerves a little.

It was a Krieg trooper from the assault platoon, coming to support from the second trench.

A Krieg soldier quickly rushed to the machine gun bunker on the trench floor.

This bunker has an excellent firing range, and can both sweep enemies in front of it and block communication trenches.

He reached out and pulled the bolt handle of the lumberjack gun. With a “click”, the crisp sound of mechanical loading was particularly clear on the battlefield.

He skillfully turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the communication trench.

Another Krieg soldier was already ready with ammunition, ready for battle.

As the noisy shouting and screaming got closer and closer, the first figure emerged from the communication trench.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang! ! Golden light and fire instantly burst out from the firing holes of the bunker.

The rebel suicide squad pursuers who rushed out of the communication trench were instantly shot down by the barrage of bullets.

The 7.92mm logging gun bullets were so powerful that they sent wood chips flying from the reinforcing crossbeams on the inner wall of the communication trench, truly explaining the origin of the name “logging gun” – with that dense bullet speed, no one doubted that it could really harvest forests in large tracts, just as it was harvesting lives at this moment.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed on the distant horizon.

“Jing!” A laser shot out from the black and gray mud and hit the firing hole in the trench accurately.

The lumberjack gun misfired instantly.

There was a large, smoking hole on the helmet of the Krieg soldier operating the lumberjack.

But the assistant shooter next to him was like an emotionless machine. He didn’t show any panic at all, as if he had already become accustomed to what was happening in front of him.

He quickly took over the machine gun position, decisively pulled the trigger, and continued to fire wildly at the enemy in the communication trench.

The other rifleman took over the loader’s position without any instructions.

“Jiong!”

“Plop!” The sound of another figure falling was heard.

However, after a brief silence, the sound of firing from the lumberjack guns rang out again.

The Chaos Sniper’s presence soon attracted the attention of a Krieg sniper.

He crouched and ran into a secret passage, which he had carefully hollowed out to lead to a broken tree, a tree trunk that had been pierced by an engineer’s shovel, and the broken tree was cleverly made into a camouflaged sniper platform.

The shadow of the tree trunk in the dim moonlight perfectly blocked the slender gun body.

After confirming the presence of the enemy sniper, he began to carefully adjust the windage of the Death Eye Lucius semi-automatic rifle equipped with an 8x scope.

He didn’t move, only the muzzle of the gun was slightly adjusted.

When the rebel sniper wearing a gas mask was about to pull the trigger again to kill the rifleman in the bunker.

He pulled the trigger decisively.

Whoosh!
The bullet flew out with a whistling sound.

boom!
A pointed steel core bullet with the mark of the Sky Eagle accurately shattered the secret kaleidoscope of the Tzeentch rebel archer, flew into his right eye, and then passed out from the back of his head with glass fragments.

Then, the sound of gunfire slowly drifted to the enemy’s position, echoing in the sky above the no-man’s land for a long time.

The other Tzeentch sharpshooters immediately looked around for the enemy who shot him from behind, but the Krieg sniper had already quietly left his original camouflage place.

Maybe next time he’ll come to this broken tree standing on the scorched earth of Warhammer, looking for a high-value target, but he certainly won’t come again in the short term.
