Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 79 Bloody Battle

The fierce battle continued, during which Chen Xi was once again assassinated by the Death Mark sniper.

However, the holy power armor on his body was strong enough to help him block the attack of the nerve crusher gun.

After precise calculations and with some assistance from Olivia, Guterres accurately found this guy and blew his head off when he tried to assassinate Chen Xi for the third time.

But this did not change the situation. The Empire was still trapped in the tomb, and the Necrons around them continued to pour out.

Although the Battle Sisters and Skitarii have been fighting bravely and have indeed killed many Necrons, casualties have been increasing, and their ammunition supplies are somewhat out of date.

"We can't go on like this, we will be dragged here to death! Guterres, can you find the rebirth agreement of this tomb?" Chen Xi looked at his friend, wanting to take a gamble.

Guterres replied affirmatively: "Leave it to me! I have been scanning this tomb and I almost know where it is, but I need a team of nuns to help me."

"Seraph Squad, follow Guterres to find the Rebirth Protocol. You must destroy it!" Chen Xi selected a team of combat nuns equipped with jet packs and asked them to follow Guterres to find the Rebirth Protocol.

This is a very dangerous mission because they are trapped at the moment. If they want to find the rebirth agreement, they must fight their way out of the encirclement.

But no one said anything about retreating at this moment, because everyone knew that only by destroying the rebirth protocol of this tomb could these enemies be completely defeated and their continuous rebirth be stopped.

The Sisters of Battle are prepared to sacrifice themselves; for them, it is an honor to devote themselves to the Emperor.

The young Figesin also participated in the battle as a combat sister. Although she participated in the battle as a novice sister, her bravery on the battlefield was no less than that of other sisters.

Just watching those Seraphim sisters equipped with jet packs leaping and following Astartes out of the shelter, breaking through layers of encirclement and heading deeper into the tomb, she still felt annoyed and ashamed that she was just a trainee nun and could not obtain such glory.

If I work harder, I can become a Seraphim!
That way, I can join the ranks of those sisters to carry out more dangerous and important tasks and be loyal to His Majesty the Divine Emperor!
(Nun Trainee)

However, although he was unable to serve the God-Emperor in a more courageous way, Figosin still fought bravely.

From time to time, she would lean out of cover and shoot at the evil aliens with her gun.

Because in front of her are formal nuns equipped with rosary beads, they use their bodies and shields to provide cover for the sisters behind them, allowing them to output better.

Gauss rays hit the bunkers and the combat nuns from time to time, turning everything touched by the evil green rays into black sand.

Figxin watched with his own eyes as a sister who lived in the same dormitory as him was hit by a bullet on the shoulder because she failed to dodge in time. Then half of her chest turned into black gravel in front of him.

When she died, the expression on her face was full of disbelief and regret.

Figosin had heard her say that she was a loyal heir of the Astra Militarum, whose parents had died in the Second Battle of Armageddon. She had originally joined the Loyal Heir Academy hoping to become a loyal Astra Militarum stormtrooper.

But due to some coincidences, she became a novice nun and died here.

Figgin remembered her name, Fiona, a very nice name.

She loved when Figgin called her name. Every time when Figgin called her, she would smile with her eyes curved up, making people think she was very cute. However, now Fiona could no longer hear Figgin call her name, and her big blue eyes would never smile again.

Figosin prayed for his sister and picked up Fiona's grenade launcher.

Although it was a bit heavy to hold two grenade launchers in both hands, Figxin still placed the two grenade launchers steadily on the cover with both hands.

"Fiona, let's fight together!" Figosin whispered, then took a deep breath and shouted, "For the Divine Emperor!"

The two grenade launchers fired at the same time. The huge recoil almost made Figxin lose her balance, but she still pressed down the two grenade launchers and shot the bullets filled with anger and revenge at the abominable alien in front of her.

The angry bullet hit an alien's head, and the explosion blew off half of its head, but it couldn't kill it.

However, the second bullet that followed penetrated directly into the alien's skull, exploded inside its head, and directly blew its head off.

Even the Necrons couldn't move without their heads and fell directly to the ground.

However, as one fell, more Necrons continued to advance, and behind them, more Necrons were teleporting in. The battle was already sliding in a direction that was increasingly unfavorable to the Empire.

More than one-third of the combat nuns have been killed in the battle, and the crusaders have also suffered heavy casualties.

Although they eliminated nearly twice their own number of enemies, the enemy's number did not decrease at all.

There were even destroyed enemies that repaired themselves after falling to the ground for a while, stood up again, and launched another attack.

This is where the Necrons become so difficult to deal with.

Their bodies, composed entirely of living metal and able to repair themselves as long as there is energy, and their soulless machines having absolutely no morale, make the Necron army far more resilient than any normal army in this galaxy.

Even combat nuns with firm faith would feel powerless when faced with these soulless machines.

But even so, no one backed down.

The Grand Sister personally held high the battle flag and sang loudly hymns praising the Emperor, encouraging all the sisters to fight bravely.

Chen Xi did not hide behind the cover at this time, but stood in the most conspicuous position so that everyone could see that he was also fighting the enemy.

He was wearing the finest relic-level master-grade power armor, and had a rosary to provide him with a shield. Even with such protection, if he still didn't dare to stand up and lead the nuns in battle, then he would be no different from the insect nobles of the empire.

It may even be worse. At least most of the nobles in the empire are still capable when they are needed to fight.

Not to mention that Chen Xi was using a descending chess piece and would not really die.

Fighting bravely was one thing, but Chen Xi's heart was also sinking as the situation deteriorated.
