Chapter 93. Heart is like iron, mending the sky(1/2)
The number of Space Marines lost in such a long time can be counted on one hand, and now one of them was killed by a group of Terran humans. The colonel felt depressed.
He stared at the gleaming golden old woman among the Silver Spear Pegasus, and slashed at her with the chain sword. The other party immediately raised her sword to block her.
The colonel sprinted forward a few steps, and punched the horse's head hard with his left hand. The horse, which was as tall as a man, fell to the ground. Ioletta, who was riding on the horse, hurriedly got out of the stirrup.
Only then did she notice that she was old, the traces of time had left on her body, and she no longer had the agility and fierceness she had when she was young.
The sword in Ioletta's hand was knocked out, the chain sword grazed her right arm, the silver armor was broken inch by inch, and her limbs were dripping with blood.
Maria, who was not far away, saw this scene. She hit the enemy in front of her with her shield, kicked him away, and rushed towards the colonel. The golden Pegasus appeared as a racial shadow, like a locomotive, and the colonel took two steps back after the collision!
"You look very similar to that defender, you both are shining with gold."
The colonel snorted, and then got into a fight with Maria. This little girl was not as strong as the defender, but she was not far behind, especially the humanoid figure behind her, wielding a sword and shield, suppressing the momentum.
Strong, no less powerful than its host.
Even though the Silver Spear Pegasus joined the battle, the guard's line was still moved back bit by bit by the World Eaters' legions. The ground was filled with corpses from both sides, and rivers of blood flowed.
Suddenly, there was an explosion behind the World Eater Legion, and there were more than one explosion. The Psyker Legion, which had put heavy pressure on the Guards, immediately gave up its target and turned around to concentrate on dealing with the enemies behind it.
Ioletta covered her bleeding arm, her face turned pale, and she retreated under the protection of the guards. She asked, "Did someone else attack the World Eater from behind?"
"Grand Master, it's possible that they were aircraft that were hovering in the sky before, but now they can no longer be seen."
The person who specially escorted Ioletta was the captain of the Silver Spear Pegasus, Lem.
In just ten minutes, more than ten of his men were injured, and as many as six Space Marines were killed. Now the opponent has withdrawn, and only some auxiliary troops with slightly lower combat effectiveness are chasing after them.
"It's a pity that we don't know who is supporting us."
The Seraph who had previously been chasing the psyker Mason also rushed back. Judging from his expression, it seemed that he had not been able to deal with the enemy.
The remaining guards arrived at the junction of the lower city and the main city. There were already people waiting here, including armed vehicles, a large number of long-range shooting weapons, a variety of magic units, and many left-behind personnel who had not evacuated the city.
"Grand Knight Commander, we will have a decisive battle with those world swallowers here."
Ioletta treated the wound with the help of medical staff. She waved her hands and said loudly: "Everyone, it is not the most desperate time yet. Facts have proved that once we take action, it will be impossible for the World Eaters to capture us.
city of!"
…
Embassy of Ursus.
An officer smiled and said: "It seems that the Casimir people are in trouble. Now we just have to wait for them to speak."
Another Ussian said noncommittally: "Actually, they don't need to be so defensive about us, it's just some humanitarian assistance."
"Ha ha ha ha."
…
Yanguo Consulate.
Jingzhe asked: "Are we going to keep watching like this?"
Yu Zelin shook his head: "Of course not, don't worry, I have arranged for someone to go there. As long as the World Eater launches the next attack, Casimir will be able to get help from the Yan Kingdom."
…
The Iberians arrived at the gate of the main city, only a hundred meters away from the lower city. Their idea was simple and they were ready to join the battle at any time.
The old presiding judge said calmly: "We have received enough intelligence. There is no need to let the allies bear the losses alone. Iberia will appear in this war."
…
The mixed force of guards and knights who retreated to the gate of the main city was less than a thousand people. Almost everyone was injured, and their will and physical strength were stretched to the limit.
Everyone knew they couldn't fight anymore.
Also includes the Legion of World Eaters.
At this time, the colonel was furious in the temporary headquarters.
"Idiots! You idiots!"
He waved the chain sword in his hand as if he wanted to chop off someone's head.
"Our target was this city, but you all went to kill people. Does God need the blood of these mortals?! We missed two opportunities, one was to quickly break through the infected plot, and the other was to quickly capture the lower city!"
A World Eater officer said dissatisfied: "Rudolph, this is not our fault. Those Terran humans put up a tenacious resistance, and even the Space Marines suffered terrible losses. But it's you, you have been accompanying those Terran humans.
Nonsense, if you had killed those who blocked you from the beginning, the Legion would not have been delayed for so long."
The colonel looked coldly at the officer who questioned him: "Do you think I caused the delay of the fighter plane?"
The other party gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
"Okay, then you can complain to the Military Commission!"
The only real Space Marine here is the Colonel, the others are auxiliaries, and the psykers are unwilling to speak out.
The military committee cannot really deal with a powerful second-generation warrior. The most it can do is lower its military rank. But since when do space warriors care about this?
Another legion stood up to smooth things over: "Everyone, I think the most important thing now is to complete the strategic goal, occupy this city, and create a springboard for ships to enter this world. Even if there are conflicts, we must wait until after this war is over.
Let’s drive those humans out of the city and into the wilderness first!”
This impromptu meeting ended in vain.
The auxiliary army did not obey the colonel, so the colonel naturally ignored the auxiliary army.
But they still have unfinished tasks.
The regrouped Legion of World Eaters returned to the battlefield, with the Space Marines as the spearhead and the Auxiliary Army as the flanks, pressing towards the Terran human defenses.
…
Three Colombians held telescopes and lay on the commanding heights of the main city to observe the approaching world-devourers.
"A large number of people, especially Space Marines, is indeed troublesome."
"It is over three meters tall. It is very powerful and its agility is not limited by its huge body. This is a subject that is very worthy of study. The world swallower from the outer world has indeed given us a big surprise."
The third person who had been silent suddenly said: "Do you feel any shaking?"
"Shaking? What nonsense are you talking about? Why is it shaking?"
"You are too scared, so you must be hallucinating..."
Before they finished speaking, their position began to shake slightly. The three people's expressions changed wildly, and they rushed to the emergency exit.
"Damn it! This is a small high-rise building. If it keeps shaking, it will collapse!"
"Why is it shaking suddenly?! Is it an earthquake?!"
In fact, more than one area is shaking, the entire mobile city is shaking!
The Colombians are not stupid, and they quickly realized the problem. There were looks of shock and disbelief in the eyes of the three people!
"No way……"
…
"Good! Very good! You are courageous! You are worthy of being a great master who survived from the previous era!"
Yu Zelin stood up suddenly from his chair, waving his arms, his gray beard trembling with excitement.
He loudly said: "If this woman survives until the end of the war, Casimir will definitely be revitalized by her hands and embark on the road to becoming a powerful country!"
Jingzhe also exclaimed: "The great knight commander would actually make such a choice, a strong man cuts off his wrist and trades space for time!"
Also shocked were people from other countries.
The Ursus pushed everything on the coffee table to the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "Now, except for those Rutlanders, all of us have no chance to perform, but Ioleta
A woman has become the protagonist, and even those in the Casimir National Council may not be able to do anything about her!"
"Having said that, Casimir is not all idiots with depraved minds. There are always a few geniuses who will jump out and become the mainstay at critical moments. Cyril was one of them many years ago, and his contemporary Ioleta
Counting it as one, who is next, the shining knight?"
There was no movement from the Victorians, who remained huddled inside the consulate and did not come out.
…
The ones who really gave a wake-up call were the World Eaters Legion. At this moment, it was too late for them to increase the speed of their attack. They could only stand there and watch the enemies leave calmly.
This scene was beyond everyone's expectation.
Including Linguang who fell from the sky. After verifying her identity, she successfully met Ioletta.
"Grand Knight Commander, I'm back."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Ioletta replied calmly.
Her eyes fell on Lin Guang's face, meaning what do you want to ask.
Linguang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect it to be like this."
"There is nothing wrong with this. At least it buys us enough time and allows some people to see clearly the true appearance of the World Eater."
