Chapter 712 07.711: “Cavalry Company! Attack!”

“The Corpse Emperor’s cavalry is attacking! Fire! Fire!!”

In front of the camp gate, a Chimera Infantry Fighting Vehicle covered with blasphemous patterns shook slightly, turned its gun muzzle towards the oncoming Death Troopers, and fired fiercely.

Machine gun warheads poured out like a rainstorm, leaving blazing trails in the air.

A cavalry sergeant rode on a warhorse, holding the horn tightly with both hands, and blew it hard. The sharp sound of the horn instantly cut through the noise of the battlefield. When the cavalry heard the horn, they quickly and orderly changed their formation. The originally compact formation dispersed and formed a loose but sparse formation.

During the Death Cavalry’s charge, several cavalrymen were unfortunately hit by laser cannons. Their bodies were instantly penetrated by the high temperature and they fell off their horses.

Another person was hit by a logging gun mounted on a vehicle and fell to the ground with his horse.

But the Death Knights, with their amazing mobility, quickly broke through the defense line and rushed into the camp.

A cavalryman flashed past the Chimaira chariot at lightning speed, and at the moment of crossing, he suddenly thrust the explosive spear in his hand into the chariot’s gun barrel.

The metal tip of the spear collided with the barrel of the gun, making a dull sound.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of “beep beep” countdown came from the gun barrel.

“boom!”

The lance with a preset explosion time exploded in the barrel with a loud bang. The huge impact force caused the barrel to explode from the middle to the surroundings like a fragile dead branch. Metal fragments flew everywhere. The chariot’s artillery was completely scrapped and the interior of the chariot fell into silence.

Another death trooper rode his warhorse and rushed towards the chariot turret at high speed.

He held the lance and aimed it precisely at the weak spot on the side of the turret. At the moment when the lance was about to hit, he decisively pressed the detonation button on the lance rod.

boom!
A jet of hot metal spurted out from the shaped charge at the tip of the gun and pierced the armor like a streak of fiery red lightning.

The jet raged inside the armor, and the powerful energy caused the inside of the armor to begin to burn, with sparks flying.

Soon, a raging fire broke out inside the tank. The traitors, who were on fire, screamed miserably and rushed out of the tank one after another.

They rolled on the ground in agony, their fur coats burnt black.

However, what awaited them was not rescue, but the sharp spear tips that other cavalrymen had already prepared.

“puff!”

The tank commander’s face was charred black, with the flesh and blood peeling off, revealing his bones. He had just stuck half of his body out of the turret when he was nailed to the roof of the tank with a lance by a death trooper who passed by like a gust of wind.

The huge impact force caused his entire waist to be broken against the edge of the exit, and his body was bent at a strange 90-degree angle.

He subconsciously opened his arms, his face facing the sky, and the lance nailed on his chest pointed straight to the sky, as if issuing a final protest against fate.

Inside the camp, there was a scene of chaos and massacre.

The truck filled with traitors was still warming up its engine, and the engine emitted a low roar.

Suddenly, a fragmentation grenade was thrown in from the rear, passed through the curtain of the truck and fell into the crowd.

Amid the traitors’ terrified screams and panicked escape by jumping out of their cars.

boom! ! !
There was a huge explosion at the rear of the truck, flames shot up into the sky, fuel leaked from the tank, and a sea of ​​fire formed on the ground, burning fiercely and engulfing everything around it.

The death cavalry wreaked havoc in the camp, some throwing torches at the supply storage areas and others hurling explosives.

For a moment, the camp was filled with flickering flames, explosions, and thick smoke.

At the same time, the Imperial armored forces had already rolled over the no-man’s land, and their heavy tracks left deep marks on the ground.

Those Tzaanhorns that did not have time to enter the micro-cracks were ruthlessly crushed by the chariot’s heavy armor, and let out screams.

These micro cracks simply cannot last long in the real world and will disappear on their own after a while.

“Yohoo! Captain! Our Skyhawk Squadron is here!” Veronica’s soft voice came clearly from Horatio’s communication channel.

“Why are you here? The enemy’s anti-aircraft firepower is very fierce! What’s the situation now? I have lost communication for too long.” Horatio asked. He vaguely guessed in his heart that the appearance of the Skyhawk Squadron was probably because of new changes in the battle situation in the sky.

“Little Captain, we obtained anti-radiation radar bombs from the Baka fleet and came down with them,” Fasha replied.

In the sky, the Imperial Navy Air Force is engaged in a fierce anti-radiation battle with the rebel air defense forces. They are constantly looking for the enemy’s flaws through clever deception-search tactics.

“Ah, found it! The enemy’s auspicious signal! Anti-radiation missile launch! biu~” Veronica’s excited voice came from the communication channel.

The four fighter planes of the Sky Eagle Squadron formed a formation of two in front and two in the back, and rushed towards the enemy positions from the sky like sharp arrows.

When the enemy’s Hydra anti-aircraft guns on the ground and other anti-aircraft vehicles that relied on auscultation radar indexes turned on their radars and tried to aim and lock on the Kaledes bombing brigade in the sky, Veronica, the weapon operator of Skyhawk One, had her fingers firmly on the launch button.

“How many ships are coming from the Baka fleet?”

“The entire Kaledes Battle Group is here! God-Emperor, they are really generous.

Well, to be precise, it is your reputation that is truly generous. Commander Malan happened to pass by Carpathia, heading to the Ultramarine to replace the Baka Fleet in Damocles Gulf. After receiving your request for assistance, he took a detour and came here. “

“Commander Malan?” When Horatio heard the name, he felt a vague sense of familiarity in his mind.

“Yes, Lieutenant General Caspar Marius Todoric Malan.”

After this mention, Horatio instantly remembered this person.

Isn’t he the commander in the official history who was affiliated with the First Fleet of the Indomitable Crusade and led the Kaledes Battle Group to investigate the Exorcist Dead Zone under the order of the Regent?
I didn’t expect that I would meet another character from the official history, and one of the Imperial Navy commanders who was deeply trusted by Robert Guilliman in the future.

The Kaledes Battle Group he led was originally a larger force in the Baka Battle Fleet of the Storm Star Region Headquarters Fleet. Later, the entire group was reorganized into the First Battlecruiser Fleet of the Sun Fleet, which was a powerful and prestigious group.

Since it did not participate in the Battle of Cadia in 999.M41 and did not suffer major losses, it retained a considerable amount of manpower and thus became part of the strongest First Fleet of the Indomitable Crusade. Of course, the First Fleet of the Indomitable Crusade in the official history had thousands of warships, and the Kaledes Battle Group was only a small part of it.

Combined with the timeline, the Kalides battle group is still in the Storm Star Region at this time, which means that they have not yet been incorporated into the Solar Fleet – because the Solar Fleet is a permanent organization in the Solar Star Region and will almost never leave the Solar Star Region at will.

However, based on the content of official history.

It was only a matter of time before the Kaledes Battle Group was incorporated into the Solar Fleet.

This includes Lieutenant General Malan’s promotion to Admiral of the Solar Fleet and his appointment as commander of the Solar Fleet’s First Battlecruiser Squadron.

[Is the person coming to support a future high-ranking leader of the Imperial Navy? Interesting.] Horatio’s keen political sense detected something.

Under the current war situation, the arrival of the Kaledes battle group has undoubtedly reversed the situation.

They completely crushed the rebels’ air superiority and pinned them to the ground.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the entire rebel line quickly collapsed under the fierce attack.

The heretic soldiers fled in all directions, abandoning their weapons and armor.

Horatio climbed out with difficulty from the hatch on top of the damaged servant mecha, stood on his tall back, held the edge of the hatch with both hands, and looked into the distance.

A breeze gently blew across his face, bringing with it a hint of the unique smell of gunpowder on the battlefield.

In the distance, soldiers loyal to the empire were advancing steadily, their artillery fire continuously bombarding the fleeing enemy soldiers.

It was the “blameless” Bayard Knights and the rest of the Freeblade Spear Team.

He had not expected them to be so close, but had not previously spotted the traitorous Knight who had fallen to Chaos.

It can be seen how great the impact of the enemy’s evil methods is on the entire battle situation.

“Colonel! Colonel!”

Horatio heard someone calling him from below, he lowered his head and saw Staff Officer Clausewitz looking up at him, his tone full of anxiety and excitement.

“We have completely broken through the Ypres area! The rebels are retreating! The Imperial Navy Air Force and the Death Troopers are in pursuit! Sir, you… don’t look right.”

“What’s wrong?” Horatio asked in confusion.

“You look… stronger and taller than before…”

Horatio raised his native left hand and examined it carefully.

Now his hands are incredibly big, big enough to easily cover a large basketball with one hand.

He lowered his head and looked at his body, and found that the military uniform that had originally fit him well had now become tight.

“what happened……”

He estimated his height and found that it had grown from 1 meters to 85 meters, or even close to 2 meters.

The average height of an Astartes is usually between 2 and 3 meters. My current height is far beyond that of an ordinary person and I am almost catching up with an Astartes.

But he knew that he had not received the genetic enhancement of two hearts and three lungs, nor had he had gene seeds implanted. He had only undergone what Father Lati called experimental genetic engineering.

and many more……

A crucial question suddenly occurred to Horatio.

Is there really no secret hidden in the surgery that Lati performed on herself?

Did the voice that often talks to oneself inside the body exist originally, or did it appear only after Latti’s surgery?

Is it true that nothing unknown has been implanted in my body?

If he had been implanted with genetic seeds, this was obviously unlikely because he could reproduce normally and gave birth to a healthy baby like Hollus.

What on earth had Narati implanted in her body? What else could it be?
Considering her previous mention of conducting physical health tests on the children born to her reproductive partners, as well as some clues she revealed, it is hard not to suspect that she was doing something behind the scenes.

[No, we have to go down and find Lati, and then ask her clearly.]
He looked at his arms and muscles again. Unlike Astartes who was overly strong and muscular, his muscles and body shape were perfect.

Everything is just right, with evenly distributed muscles, making his body look very coordinated.

He didn’t turn into an exaggerated devilish muscle man, nor did he look tall and thin.

Everything seemed carefully carved, just as precise as the sculptures of Robouti Guilliman and Sanguinius in the cathedral.

“Horatio!”

A familiar female voice sounded from behind him.

He turned around and saw Farida excitedly waving the flag of the 1314th Infantry Regiment.

The golden edge of the regimental flag shone brightly in the bright sunlight, as if announcing the glory of victory.

“We won! We broke through the enemy lines! And we defeated the corrupt traitors!” Farida was extremely excited. She took off the dirty gas mask from her face, threw it into the sky, and even had tears in her eyes.

She held the regimental flag tightly in one hand and supported Louise with the other, and jumped excitedly in the mud, completely ignoring the mud and water splashing on her already stained body.

She pointed excitedly to a pile of ruins in a pit in the distance, which might be the remains of the fallen traitor.
