Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Chapter 99 The Retreating Chicken

"For the great Four-Armed Divine Emperor, destroy these damn invaders."

"For the great Four-Armed Divine Emperor, eliminate these damned heretics."

Ordinary gene stealers of the third, fourth and fifth generations charged towards the defense army's positions with weapons in hand, roaring at the Four-Armed Emperor they believed in.

The gene stealers who launched the charge were constantly harvested by the powerful firepower in the hands of the defense soldiers. The gene stealers who rushed up fell to the ground and died like wheat being harvested.

Under the command of Moore and Shito, the gene stealers launched a desperate attack on the defense positions of the defense forces. Various long-range weapons continuously attacked the defense soldiers. Howitzers of different calibers exploded in front of the defense soldiers' positions. Countless soil and gravel were blown away in the explosions.

The heavy firepower weapons in the hands of the defense soldiers were also attacking the gene thieves. The firepower output of more than a thousand people suppressed the countless gene thieves. The gene thieves could not get close to the defense soldiers at all and were killed by countless bullets.

Moore watched as his own side was suppressed and the tribesmen used as a diversion were slaughtered in large numbers. He anxiously shouted to the rear: "Armored vehicles, drive the armored vehicles up!"

Shito looked at the defense army's position in disbelief and asked Moore beside him in confusion, "How do they have so many bullets? Do they have an endless supply of bullets?"

"How could I know? The firepower of these thousand plus people is more powerful than that of the 100,000-man Planetary Defense Force. They haven't run out of bullets after fighting for so long. How are they going to fight this battle?"

Moore roared at Shito. Moore was also very angry because his people were being slaughtered in large numbers by the enemy and he could do nothing.

Hundreds of tracked armored vehicles behind the Genestealers started moving, slowly moving forward. The mortars and heavy machine guns mounted on the armored vehicles continued to fire at the defense forces' positions, and thick black smoke continued to spew out of the rear of the armored vehicles as they moved.

The armored vehicle in the hands of the gene stealers is a mobile coffin made up of a large amount of scrap steel. The heavy steel on the armored vehicle is five meters thick, which can well protect the driver inside.

Although the armored vehicles in the hands of the Genestealers had good defensive capabilities, their slow speed was unbelievable, making people doubt whether the armored vehicle's engine could drive that pile of heavy steel.

A large number of bullets hit the armored vehicles, creating huge holes on the front of the Genestealer armored vehicles. The light Ripper rifles in the hands of the defense soldiers could penetrate the ceramic steel armor, and had no difficulty in penetrating these armors made of ordinary alloys.

"Rumble"

A moving armored vehicle was hit in the engine by a bullet fired from a Ripper rifle, causing a huge explosion. The entire armored vehicle and the driver inside were blown to pieces.

"Rumble"

Explosions rang out one after another from the moving armored convoy, and a large number of armored vehicles were blown up.

Moore stared blankly at the armored vehicles that were constantly being blown up. These armored vehicles were the only heavy armored forces of their sect. He did not expect that these armored vehicles would be destroyed without any effect after being sent out.

Moore said dejectedly in his heart: "Bishop Dinar, we can't cause any harm to these invaders. I should do this."

Moore knew that Bishop Dinar could hear his words.

"Retreat! We are no match for these invaders. Continuing to fight will only waste our lives. Now we need to think about how to survive the counterattack of these invaders."

There was fear in Dinar's voice. Since the war began, Dinar had been using his psychic power to share the vision of his people and had observed the horror of these invaders.

This group of people were well-trained and well-equipped. They sent hundreds of thousands of their own people to attack the enemy. However, the attack of hundreds of thousands of people could not capture the position of the enemy with only more than a thousand people. In just over ten minutes, tens of thousands of their own people had died.

The strength of this group of invaders is no longer something that his sect can contend with. Now Dinar needs to consider how to lead his people to survive the enemy's counterattack.

Moore sighed helplessly and replied, "Yes, Lord Dinar."

"retreat."

"retreat."

Under Moore's command, the Genestealers who were still attacking ran back. Although these ordinary Genestealers did not understand why they had to retreat, they followed Moore and Shito's orders without hesitation.

The Genestealers' offensive was easily repelled by the defense soldiers. Tal looked at the Genestealers who had already evacuated the battlefield and became puzzled.

"How come this group of Genestealers is different from the Genestealers in the Teda Galaxy? They chose to escape so quickly."

The gene stealers encountered in the Teda galaxy would continue to attack the enemy fearlessly as long as the enemy's leader was not killed. Unexpectedly, the gene stealers encountered this time escaped so quickly, and the support called by Tal had not yet arrived at the battlefield.

"Captain, should we chase?"

A squadron leader looked at Tal and asked.

"Let's not pursue them yet. Since this group of hidden Genestealers has been exposed, they are not far from destruction. It's better to wait for the main force to arrive before pursuing them. We should remain vigilant to avoid being ambushed by the enemy."

Tal raised his hand and gestured.

"it is good."

More than a thousand defense soldiers continued to stay on guard in the trenches to avoid being attacked unexpectedly by the enemy.

Tal connected to York on the communication channel and reported the situation on his side to the other party.

"Captain York, this group of Genestealers suddenly retreated for some unknown reason."

York asked doubtfully, "Huh? The Genestealers actually retreated on their own initiative?"

York was also a little surprised to hear the news. He had just assembled his troops and was preparing for a large-scale teleportation when Tal reported that the attacking gene stealers had retreated, which made York puzzled.

"Yes, those Genestealers have retreated. Now there is no Genestealer alive in this place."

Tal reported the situation on his side to York truthfully.

"Now that we've discovered these Genestealers, regardless of the reason for their voluntary retreat, we must eliminate them. We can't let them survive. The reinforcements will be arriving soon. Together, you will eliminate these Genestealers."

Although York was somewhat puzzled as to why the Genestealers did this, he still chose to eliminate all of them.
