Chapter 678 126. The Real Battlefield

Bumpy.

Meade lowered his head and checked his breathing tube again to see if there was any leak. The battery that powered the gas mask was still functioning well.

Then he bent down and checked his thick leggings and military boots - the temperature on this planet was very high, and the people of the Hades Cult had previously given them some knowledge that on a planet where chaos had arrived, the temperature would become abnormal.

He felt hot, and his sweat soaked into the rough cloth, then dried up again, revealing layers of white calluses.

But this is still within the adaptable range and will not affect the march.

Next came the newly issued weapons. Meade could see the green fluorescence flickering from deeper inside the gun body at the joints between the metal and the metal, as if whispering a secret to him.

This new gun was heavier than the Lucius No. 98 he used before. Although its appearance imitated the laser gun that the Kriegs used to use as much as possible, it was still heavier and had less ammunition, reduced from 25 rounds to 20 rounds.

Although Meade had observed the rechargeable battery installed in the gun, he was sure that the heavy black block was not the ordinary commodity distributed by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Obviously, it was more sophisticated and had more energy storage.

But even though the battery looked very good at first glance, it could only provide 20 rounds of bullets for the gun in his hand.

The wise men who had issued them the gun had told Mead that there was no such thing as a fatal flaw with the gun—you just had to hit, and the beams would do their job.

The equipment this time was sophisticated enough, so sophisticated that even the silent Krieg was confused. They understood the order to kill the gods, because even killing gods would require them to sprint on the battlefield, but what puzzled them was why the supplies were so abundant.

It's as weird as if a guy marching alone in a remote corner was singled out and given a bunch of supplies.

But no matter what, Krieg will complete his mission and live up to the name of the Emperor.

Meade put away his gun and wiped his new engineer shovel again. He used it carefully to avoid accidental injuries.

boom!
The Gorgon Mead was riding in shook violently up and down, and he was sure that the left area of ​​the vehicle had been bombed, but the captain, Lord of Watch, did not give any orders, so Mead continued to check his equipment in silence.

Then there's the regular frag grenade, and this,
Mead reached his hand into his collar and rummaged around, pulling out a simple necklace, a ring-shaped black stone. This was a gift from Pluto, and it was the only difference between Mead and his comrades.

He blinked, not knowing what he was thinking, just looking at the small stone.

The priests of the Hades said that this would protect their souls, and the side effects were slight weakness and discomfort, but neither Mead nor his comrades reported any adverse reactions.
This greatly shocked the young bishop of Hades. After much observation, the Hades concluded that Krieg had a very high tolerance for pain. The Krieg people were abnormally dull in some aspects and ignored the weakness from Hades.

Mead didn't know how to describe his black stone. The red-haired woman who came to their army to sell supplies called Mead's black stone "donut-shaped". Mead didn't know what a donut was, so he asked the Hades priest.

"Hmm... some kind of luxurious afternoon tea that nobles would eat. It's made with finely ground flour, topped with syrup and cream, and sometimes garnished with fruit or powdered sugar. It's very sweet."

Mead couldn't imagine what the smell was like. He didn't recognize every word the Hades priest said, but the Hades priest said it was definitely not the smell of the rodents they usually roasted. This little thing was forgotten after that.

After this, the Hades priests began to call Mead "Donut Boy".

It didn't matter that Meade had his own number, but he didn't correct the nickname.

boom! boom!
There were two more explosions, and Mead felt the Gorgon linger in the air for a moment, then it hit the ground heavily. It slid for a while, and then sent them to their destination with the hum of the engine.

The blinding sunlight poured in through the crack in the hatch, accompanied by the suddenly intensified roar and the sound of heavy machine gun fire. Mead got out of the car as quickly as possible.

Mead's team stayed behind Gorgon for a while until all nine people came down. In addition to them, Gorgon also loaded another five teams. Mead's team was a little slower, and three teams had already rushed out.

The road condition was not very good, it was muddy and slippery. Through the gas mask, Mead saw blood, flesh and unknown liquid mixed with the mud.

"charge."

The Lord of Watch gave his orders, Mead held his gun, and they rushed out from the left side of the Gorgon. The troop carrier also covered them. Special missiles loaded with black stone powder were launched from the weapon rack, and the twin heavy machine guns that had been overheated began to rotate again.

Raise the gun, aim and shoot.

Mead pulled the trigger, and a bright green light spurted out from the muzzle. Without stopping, he moved the gun, pulled the trigger again, bent down, and the bullet grazed his helmet and extended to the back.

While moving at high speed, Midd saw out of the corner of his eye that a strange Eldar wearing a tall helmet was hit. Its painful wail was stuck in its throat, and then it turned into a bloody mist.

nice one.

Mead thought that he had not hit the Eldar's vital point, and the blow had missed.

He continued to shoot, ignoring the slight sting of the black stone necklace on his chest, but the Lord of Watch beside him pulled him hard, and Mead stumbled to the right -

The next moment, a cold light flashed where his head used to be!
The tall alien warrior emerged from invisibility, roaring with laughter.

The rest of the people were not as lucky as Mead. Blood splattered on Mead's gas mask. He saw organs and heads suspended in the air. Most people had not yet reacted.

Time passed very slowly, and the fallen Eldar was obviously faster than them, but Mead was in a good position, he was falling slowly, and the muzzle of his gun was just aimed at the Eldar's calf -

The overheated gun caused his hands and gloves to stick to the gun, and Meade pulled the trigger.

The gun in his hand was far more powerful than he had imagined.

The light shot straight at the Eldar, but the Eldar did not dodge at all. Instead, it sprayed metal needles at him. Mead dodged, but his eyes were still looking straight in the direction of the brilliant green laser. Then he realized something was wrong -

There was a very tiny circle of space distortion around the Fallen Eldar, and Mead realized that the Eldar might not be in its original position.

But just 0.2 seconds after the Eldar revealed his true form, at least thirty rays of brilliant green light lit up from different locations on the battlefield—all directed towards this mad Eldar! !

puff!
Mead fell to the ground, barely dodging the metal needles. He saw the Eldar vanish into thin air. He didn't know whose bullet hit the Eldar, but it didn't matter. Mead immediately rolled over and got up, running again.

Stronger Fallen Eldar joined the fray, more muscular, with silk wrapped around their bare chests, marks of blasphemy faintly visible.

They suddenly appeared from Krieg's stormtroopers! After harvesting a life, they immediately hid again. Even though many of them were destroyed by concentrated fire when they first appeared, more Eldar successfully disappeared again!
Mead ran vigilantly. He was aware of the guidance of the donut necklace. Every faint feeling represented a warning. He raised his gun and shot several times almost as if he had foreseen it.

"Dudududu!"

Distant trumpets sounded from behind their lines, followed by loud singing, binary prayers praising the name of Ohm Messiah!

1 minute and 33 seconds after the Eldar Fallen Warriors advanced, the Mechanicus troops in the rear activated their response plan!
"Fire! Fire! In the name of Ohm Messiah!!!"

The missile took off, dodging the pursuit of the fighter planes, drawing white lines in the sky, and then arrived above the battle zone where Meade was located.

boom!
The large missile body split, and hundreds of small warheads poured down like flowers scattered from the sky!

The missile's guidance technology came from the Forge World of Graeae, the first Forge World to submit to Pluto and made outstanding contributions to precision guidance in the name of Pluto.

boom! boom! boom!
Countless small missiles exploded, and each one raised a cloud of thick smoke the moment it exploded. In the thick fog, Mead saw an abnormal light flashing in the space. Those hidden enemies reappeared as if a holographic projection was broken, and the part of the fog that suppressed psychic energy also made them feel painful.

Seeing that they were exposed, the Eldar instead frantically shouted the name of the youngest queen, and jumped into the Krieg troops with swords raised, trying to kill as many as possible.

"Hide! Hide!" Meade heard the other commander, Bankrig, screaming, and then he felt the ground shaking.

despair!despair!despair!
After firing three times, Mead immediately made way. These extremely tall elves had no idea what was coming and were still roaring and chasing the bait.

laugh! ! !
The spear made of black stone pierced through the chest of the Eldar. The Eldar looked back in disbelief. The violent warhorse breathed hot air towards its face. The spear threw it to the ground like garbage, and its ribs were crushed again by the galloping warhorse.

The cavalry charged into the battlefield!
The cavalry rushed into the groups of Eldar warriors, and the battle line began to advance again. The Eldar that were left behind by the cavalry would be immediately shot by the nearby infantry until they were completely killed!

"charge!"

The Lord of the Watch shouted as the Mechanicus's jammer whizzed past their heads for a second time, smashing further ahead on the battle line along with Krieg's own shells.

The war horses led the way, and countless thick smoke exploded around them, leaving the Eldar who relied on holographic invisibility with nowhere to escape, and they had no choice but to fight the Kriegs head-on.

Even if they want to retreat, the Kriegs will immediately catch up with them. As long as the speed of the Eldar is reduced a little, the Kriegs can end their lives immediately!
As the battle line moved, alien ship-like gunboats appeared, and the streamlined vehicles hoisted their sails and rushed into the battle line at high speed.

The Eldar prefer highly mobile warfare. They like to rush into the enemy's formation, disrupt the battle line, and use efficient killing performances to defeat the enemy - but the Kriegs are obviously not an army that will be defeated. After a brief period of confusion, the Kriegs immediately began to counterattack.

The actions of the Fallen Eldar did not disrupt Krieg's steps. On the contrary, the appearance of the vehicles aroused the frenzy of another force. The Mechanicus deployed in the rear sent out their Crusaders.

"In the name of Hades! Oh, O Messiah!!!"

Calling upon Hades, this group of scarlet lunatics, more dazzling than the Slaanesh Eldar, rushed into the battlefield with their Skitarii and vehicles, making them more conspicuous in the low-key darkness of Krieg - the number of Mechanicus auxiliary troops currently distributed by the Kriegs is not too many, but this does not affect their attention.

Push forward! Keep pushing forward!
Explosions went off around them, but they never stopped, Meade shooting at the big strong guys, at the linemen who were obviously like him, at the gunboat.

On the fierce battlefield, countless people fell, but countless people were still moving forward. Gorgon personnel carriers stopped behind them again and again, and new Kriegs immediately joined the battlefield.

There were more and more corpses under their feet, but not just theirs and the enemy's. The corpses of the original inhabitants of the planet died in each other's arms with strange smiles, gradually replacing the earth.

Finally, when the ammunition ran out, he threw down his gun without hesitation and took out his engineer shovel. With a hum, the blade of the shovel lit up green. Mead swung the shovel and cut off half of the skull of the strange demon in front of him.

"Ugh."

"Uuuuuu——"

A strange sound wave sounded, and Mead saw a circular altar in front of him, on which sat a female alien, plucking a harp and making sobs that sounded like crying.

? !
Mead bent down suddenly. He felt his brain dizzy. The temperature had already reached the limit. The high-intensity combat and the stuffy battlefield were bearable, but now Mead suddenly felt hot. His eyes were bloodshot and blood was flowing from his nostrils.

He felt as if his whole body was burning, but his chest was cool. It was a gift from Pluto. Mide grasped the donut necklace through his coat with trembling hands.

Praise Pluto.

He thought, and suddenly he seemed to be able to breathe again, but the other Kriegs who invaded this area were not as lucky as him. They were also controlled by the sound waves, and the snake-like demons that crawled out of the corpses on the altar directly beheaded them.

The people behind them raised their guns and fired, but the bright green light was blocked by some invisible energy shield. The banshee continued to pluck the strings and sing slowly.

No - it's no use. Mid was bleeding from all seven orifices. With his last bit of consciousness he clung to Pluto tightly. This was his last straw. Mid saw blood mist bursting out from the inside of someone's goggles and slowly sliding to the ground.

"In the name of Hades! Demon! I will eradicate all injustice!"

A loud shout!
Mid suddenly regained control of his body. He turned around without hesitation to look for cover. Seeing the Hades priest walking by, the familiar red-haired woman wearing heavy armor and holding a big sword sprinkled a thick handful of ash on Mid's body.

Mead immediately felt free from that terrible state, and he felt calmer and more powerless.

The Dark Priest paused for a moment, then pushed forward with his heels.

He slashed towards the six-armed demon woman quickly!

The demon plucked the harp again, but the Hades priest shouted the hymns of the Hades religion, which directly eliminated the intrusion of chaos. He twisted his snake waist and slashed the air with his heavy sword. The Hades priest suddenly turned his head and raised his hand towards the demon on the right without any hesitation. Fire and powder exploded together!
“HIGHHHHHHHHHHH!”

The demon screamed, and the sound waves were enough to tear everything apart. Mid felt blood flowing from his ears, but the Hades priest just shouted the doctrine and swung his sword at the demon again!

The followers of Hades Cult have a strong resistance to chaos. Two more Hades Cultists appeared in other directions of the altar. They poured some liquid onto the circular altar. Mead clearly felt the temperature dropping.

As if it realized what the Hades Cult wanted to do, the demon seized the opportunity and pounced towards the Hades Cultist, piercing with its sharp claws. Its mouth opened to an unimaginable degree and emitted sound waves - the space began to fluctuate, and they fought, but the intensity of the psychic energy in the space was increasing!

The other two Hades priests immediately attacked the demon, but were stopped by countless snake ladies climbing out of the altar. Mead thought about it, and finally picked up a shovel and walked out from behind the cover.

He rushed forward and found it was not as painful as he had imagined. The dust on his body protected him. Mid swung the shovel and the demon's flesh and blood splashed in front of him. The ground began to sink, as if it wanted to swallow them all. But Mid was good at trekking in this kind of terrain. He stumbled and climbed to the center, and the shovel in his hand chopped off an unknown amount of flesh and blood.

Seeing him coming, the Hades Priest who was fighting with the demon suddenly hugged the six-armed demon, strangled it and threw it behind him. The remaining arms of the six-armed demon pierced into the Hades Priest's body, but the Hades Priest had no intention of relaxing.

"Cut at the neck! Remember to shout Pluto!!!"

"..."

"In the name of Hades!"

A brilliant green arc of light drew a graceful arc in the air. The head spun and saw the belated reinforcements sent by the Underworld Cult to kill it.

Soulless Ogryn was standing beside the altar, looking at it with his mouth wide open.

"……Oh shit,"

Said the Dark Priest Reina, she laughed,

"Idiot, I'm here to hold the demon back, not to kill it - do you really think I can kill one?"

“But it’s dead.”

Mead said, raising his shovel, skipping past the dark priest and rushing towards the remaining snake woman.

"Oh shit……"

Reina said quietly, she turned on the channel,

"Altar No. 3 has been removed...Send the soulless guy to Altar No. 16..."

This is just a battlefield on this planet. Looking far away and overlooking the clouds, between the exploding fighter planes, there are at least ten pustules on this planet that are pink and purple.
And further away, among the sea of ​​stars, warships were wailing like giant whales as they ran aground and exploded. The bright light at the moment of death was no less than that of the sun. In the meantime, a faceless giant was suspended in the middle, and fragments of stars were floating beside him.

On other planets, on battlefields of even greater intensity, the Pale Lord rang the bell, and the distant sound of the bell swept onto the battlefield along with the mist.
