The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

Chapter 48 "Wings of Emptiness"

System notification: You have obtained one "Wing Fragment". The Wing Fragment can be used to synthesize the Ethereal Wings.

Note: Wing Fragments are a special substance obtained by killing aerial units. The higher the level of the unit killed, the more fragments you will obtain. As the level of the Ethereal Wings increases, they will gradually transform into Feather Wings. Ethereal Wings only have the ability to jump, while Feather Wings have the ability to fly.

This function is actually the same as the jump pack in Space Marines.

Russell never expected there to be such a wonderful thing. Wouldn't that mean he could fly and fight the Great Demon?

In the Primarch, only the Archangel Saint Gilles could fly and fight the Great Demon. Wouldn't I be able to be like him in the future? Just thinking about it is exciting.

Since it's such a good thing, Russell is prepared to harvest as much as possible.

He moved quickly, firing rapidly in bursts, each shot taking down a Crowman.

The other commandos may not have been as good at shooting as Russell, but they were still quite skilled and could hit their targets every time.

The crows suffered heavy losses in an instant, falling like raindrops.

At first, the crow people didn't know there were commandos around, so they tried to rampage through the city as before. By the time they realized the danger, it was too late.

Hahaha, Kayans kept laughing.

No wonder he was so happy; the old king said the Arakkoa were very powerful, but he never expected them to be just moving targets in front of the Star Guardians.

He turned to Russell and said excitedly, "Russell, let's have a contest to see who can shoot down the most crowmen."

Russell gave him an OK sign.

Then the two of them had a crow-killing contest.

The battle lasted for at most an hour. There were very few crows left in the sky above the city, and they had no will to fight. They were all panicking and hiding.

"Damn it!" Kayans cursed. "This guy is like an eel, I just can't shoot him."

Russell also turned his gun on fire, and the two of them finally shot down the crow-man.

Hahaha, Kayans laughed heartily. He was in an extremely good mood. He estimated that the Arakkoa had lost thousands of people this time. The old king said that these Arakkoa were elusive and had supernatural powers like monsters, but now they were just a bunch of trash.

The advantage of this equipment is evident here. Plasma laser weapons can fire hundreds of meters with precision, making it easy to hit the crow people. In contrast, the crow people's arrows can only be fired when they are close enough.

Previously, the city's garrison had to shoot into the air, which limited their range. In addition, the crow people were moving targets, requiring extremely high marksmanship. Therefore, they could only passively take hits.

Russell kicked the corpse of a crow-man, and only then did he truly see the crow-man clearly.

The bird's body had a pair of slender arms and short legs.

The birdman had a large hole burned in his chest.

The city was littered with the corpses of the crow people. The city's residents had long been hiding in fear. When they heard that these strange new armies had defeated the crow people, they rushed out from their hiding places. When they came out, they saw the corpses all over the ground and gathered around to watch.

This battle made the Star Guardians famous, and the city's residents secretly called them the nemesis of the Arakkoa.

Maziers found Kayans and said with a smile: "Captain Kayans, the King would like to invite you over."

Kayan frowned slightly and said, "Missionary, I really don't want to go."

Maziers said: I understand how you feel, but you alone cannot win this battle.

Kayans said helplessly: Okay.

The two left and went together to meet the king again.

Russell began to assign the assault team to clean up the mess.

System notification: The host has obtained 118 wing fragments, which can be combined to create 11 ethereal wings. Does the host wish to combine them?

Russell's low channel: Synthetic.

System notification: The host has acquired eleven ethereal wings and obtained level one ethereal wings.

Note: Level 1 Ethereal Wings can permanently increase the host's jumping ability by 1%.

For example, Russell can jump 80 centimeters now, and with the addition of the Ethereal Wings, he can jump 81 centimeters. At first glance, this increase seems too small, but if Russell can jump 10 meters, that would be a different story. Moreover, upgrading the Ethereal Wings is not that difficult.

Russell thought this was an absolutely god-level skill, and he wanted to kill even more Arakkoa.

This time, Kayanth's negotiations with missionary Mazels and the old king were very successful, and the old king agreed to fully support the Star Guardians in reclaiming lost territory.

Kayans returned to the operations room and placed a map on the table.

"Russell, what do you think we should do in terms of attack?"

Russell examined the map carefully and said, "We can attack this castle first, then use it as a base to advance, cut off the enemy's retreat, and then wipe out all the demi-humans in this area."

Kayansi glanced at it and nodded, saying, "You're right. That's what I was thinking too. We can call in air support in a critical moment."

"But who are the enemies in this area?"

"Boar-man!"

Russell frowned and repeated, "Like a wild boar?"

"They described it as looking like a pig with huge tusks, a large body, and great strength, but it was very clumsy, not very bright, and had amazing defense."

After Kayans finished speaking, Russell was able to visualize the appearance and shape of the boar-man in his mind.

"Are they wearing any equipment?" Russell was afraid that these boarmen might be wearing heavy plate armor like the orcs, which would make them harder to deal with.

“No, the boarmen don’t like wearing equipment because they’re tough and thick-skinned,” Kayans said with certainty.

"That's good. Our laser guns can't penetrate thick steel plates, and even the toughest skin can't stop a laser gun." Russell was finally relieved.

"However, I don't entirely trust the scout's words. We need to personally investigate what these boar-men actually look like, their combat strength, their defensive capabilities, and their troop deployment. What do you think?"

Russell nodded and said: I think this is very necessary. We need to send out a small force to find out the situation before launching a large-scale attack.

Kayans folded up the map and said, "We'll do this together, leading a 100-man squad. I'll call for air support if needed."

"Okay, I'll go select team members and prepare weapons and equipment right away." Russell left.

It was not difficult to select one hundred veterans from 2000 people. Russell quickly selected these people and explained the general content of the mission to them.

They made thorough preparations for this attack, with each assault team member carrying ample equipment and supplies.
