Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

"What a bunch of rubbish! They're just a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

Spike roared furiously, his once sturdy face now twisted into a near-monster form by rage. When he received the news that the Astra Militarum's attack had been thwarted, his face instantly turned ashen, as if water could drip from it.

You must know that in order to create an opportunity for the Astra Militarum to attack the heretic ground forces, the company he led had paid an extremely heavy price - losing a full two-thirds of its manpower.

However, now that he knew that an entire legion of the Astra Militarum had gone to attack the defensive positions where the heretics were located, and had actually lost hundreds of thousands of men, this result was truly unbearable for him.

Spike gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment and resentment. But despite this, facing the urgent distress signal from the Astra Militarum, he knew he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

After all, if they fail to successfully rescue this planet from the clutches of the heretics, the losses of the entire joint fleet will be too great.

After some difficult thinking and weighing, Spike finally decided to ask Gabriel for instructions. Fortunately, Gabriel quickly approved his request.

So Spike, without hesitation, led the only thirty remaining Blood Angels in the company, resolutely boarded the airdrop capsule, and dived straight towards the planet Manda.

At the same time, General Cabrens on the other side, while requesting support from the Blood Angels, quickly assembled his remaining 300,000 troops and began to make intensive preparations for the final round of attack on the heretic defense positions.

"bang bang"

The Blood Angels' airdrop pod landed not far from the Astra Militarum. When the airdrop pod came to a steady stop, Spike led the Blood Angels to Cabrens.

"grown ups!"

After seeing Spike coming, Cabrens and Political Commissar Himmler respectfully performed the Sky Eagle salute to Spike.

"Waste." Spike looked at Cabrens and other officers in front of him with disdain.

"That's what the adults taught you."

In response to Spike's mocking words, Cabrens quickly echoed him respectfully, with a look of respect and humility on his face.

"Hmph!" Spike looked at Cabrens's performance, snorted in dissatisfaction, and asked, "Have the troops assembled?"

"The troops have been reassembled and are ready to go at any time."

"Let's go! Attack the heretic's defenses directly."

Spike took the lead and walked towards the defense force's position in the distance, followed by the regrouped Astra Militarum soldiers and officers from various units.

Obviously, this is everyone's last chance. If they cannot break through the positions of the defense soldiers, the offensive plan of the entire expeditionary fleet will be completely disrupted.

"attack!"

At Spike's command, all the Astra Militarum soldiers and Blood Angels launched a charge towards the position of the defense soldiers in the distance.

However, this time, the Astra Militarum had obviously learned from its previous bitter lessons and abandoned the dense array line attack method that was prone to large-scale casualties.

Now, each soldier deliberately maintains a distance of more than ten meters between them, forming a tactical layout that seems loose but actually contains hidden mysteries.

In this way, even if faced with the fierce artillery attack of the defense forces, they would not lose hundreds of soldiers at a time as before, and the attacking forces would not be completely wiped out by a round of artillery fire from the defense forces.

A soldier who was responsible for closely monitoring the movements of the Astra Militarum suddenly discovered that the Astra Militarum had once again launched a fearless charge towards his position.

His heart tightened, and he didn't dare to delay even a little. He immediately opened his voice and shouted a warning through the communication channel:

"Captain Doc, those damned pseudo-emperor lackeys are attacking again!"

After receiving the soldier's urgent reminder, Doc immediately issued an attack order to the artillery unit: "Xu Jin, prepare the barrage!"

At the same time, his sharp eyes were fixed on the approaching Astra Militarum from afar, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, as if he wanted to crush all the enemies.

Not long after, the artillery company commander's crisp reply came through Captain Dok's communication channel: "Report to the commander, everything is ready!"

Upon hearing this news, Doc gave the order to attack without hesitation: "Attack!"

As he gave this order, a deafening roar suddenly sounded from behind the defense army's position.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Rumble..."

The volcanic cannon spewed out hot lava bombs, which roared away like a fire dragon emerging from the sea; the earthquake cannon let out earth-shaking roars, and every shell that landed would cause violent vibrations and explosions.

The missiles on the missile launchers soared into the air like arrows, dragging long tails of flame as they accurately smashed into the Astra Militarum's charging troops.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the entire battlefield was instantly engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

"Ahhh!"

"Help!"

"help me!"

When the artillery behind the defenses launched its attack, the charging Astra Militarum suffered a devastating blow. Soldiers were thrown back by the aftermath of the explosions, landing heavily on the ground. The wounded, still alive, let out miserable howls.

"Don't stop, keep charging." Spike listened to the screams coming from behind and gave orders loudly.

Spike also felt his scalp tingling at this time. The firepower output of this group of heretics was too fierce. Even though the Astra Militarum was so dispersed, the heretics still used intensive artillery bombardment.

Do they have an endless supply of weapons and ammunition? They can consume them so freely. The firepower output of a single defensive position is more ferocious than that of an entire Astra Militarum army of tens of millions of men.

Now Spike also felt that he was in a difficult situation. If the Blood Angels chose to retreat in the face of the fierce firepower of the heretics, then the Blood Angels would be the same as the Astra Militarum he cursed, a bunch of trash.

"Keep charging. As long as we charge into the positions of those heretics, they won't dare to continue bombarding with artillery. That will be our victory."

Cabrens, who was charging, also roared loudly after hearing Spike's words.

"Live up to the blood of Sanguinius!"

"For the great Divine Emperor!"

The Blood Angels and Astra Militarum soldiers roared at the orders of the two commanders, and continued to rush towards the positions of the defense forces despite the fierce firepower output of the defense forces.

An earthquake cannon landed not far from a Blood Angel. A loud "boom" sounded and the Blood Angel was killed instantly by the powerful shock wave of the earthquake cannon.
