Chapter 116. The Lion King's Roar 3(1/2)
This world has great malice towards the World Eaters. First of all, the Originium particles circulating in the atmosphere will adhere to their equipment and machines, causing unpredictable damage.
Secondly, it will damage the functions of the human body. Since leaving the ship, the auxiliary army has suffered a particularly serious attrition, and its combat effectiveness has also dropped significantly.
Finally, with the exception of some Adventists, the vast majority of Terran humans are strongly hostile to the World Eaters.
And those elusive defenders.
On the battlefield, the commander of the World Eater Legion climbed up from the snow. He eliminated the enemy's colossus. The surrounding auxiliary troops looked at him as if they were a god.
"The Terrans can't hold on any longer and continue to attack!"
None of the Space Marines who were withdrawn from the front line were lost, but the special armor they wore was damaged a lot. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the commander decided to let the auxiliary army attack first.
He looked at the sky shrouded in clouds. As a second-generation Space Marine, he could clearly feel the hostility everywhere.
It is a kind of despair that even the moisture floating in the air will try to kill you.
Maybe they shouldn't have come into this world.
…
The auxiliary army's attacks continued, but as time went by, the convenient shield devices they carried gradually lost energy, and the casualty rate suddenly increased a lot.
The struggling Victoria soldiers suddenly found that the enemy seemed less powerful, and their offensive intensity was also significantly weakened.
Sean's face was as dark as water. According to the observer's report, the enemy's protective equipment was ineffective, exposing the weakness of the lack of energy supply.
The experienced Dragon Rider General had a bold guess in his mind: The biggest reason why the World Eaters wanted to fight a blitz was the lack of supplies. If the front was extended and the war lasted, the World Eaters would be at a disadvantage.
It will also get bigger and bigger!
Now the problem is back to its original point.
Can his vanguard unit hold out until the World Eaters can no longer defeat it? Rather than the opponent not collapsing, his own side will be defeated first.
"Get my gun."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding staff officers stood up one after another and tried to dissuade him: "General Xiaon! You can't go to the front line!"
Are you kidding me? Twenty years ago, Sean could still be regarded as one of the top masters in Victoria's army. But twenty years later, even the most powerful warrior will experience a decline in strength due to aging.
Moreover, Sean has rarely left the university town for so many years, and even practiced martial arts very rarely. I am afraid only he knows how much skill he still has.
If you go to the battlefield in this situation, isn't it obvious that you are going to die?
That's a space warrior who can even cut off the head of a colossus!
Haven't you heard that Casimir's shining knights are in a tough battle?
The staff refused to let Sean go to the front line no matter what. They dragged and dragged him, and even told the orderlies to get out of here and get a gun or something.
"You cowards! I'm not afraid of death! We can't lose this fight!"
Sean couldn't break free and sighed in his heart that he was getting old and couldn't even compete with these civilian workers.
The defense line of the Victoria Army gradually stabilized. Without the impact of the Space Marines, they could have continued the battle until the next morning.
But the commander of the World Eater Legion had lost patience and reassembled the reorganized Space Marines, including himself, a total of thirty-one, ready to tear the enemy to pieces.
These thirty space warriors are all experienced veterans. Without the obstruction of steam mechas, it is only a matter of time before they completely penetrate the enemy's military formation.
"Brothers! Charge with me!"
When this tall and mighty space warrior appeared on the battlefield, the originally depressed auxiliary army gave out loud cheers, while the morale of the Victoria army plummeted.
Everyone had seen the tragic loss of the steam mecha before, and now seeing the enemy intact, everyone would feel desperate.
"We cannot retreat. Once we are defeated, our follow-up deployment will be in chaos. The World Eaters plan to kill us all at once because they have no supplies. They can only fight like this, otherwise they will retreat!"
Sean's eyes swept over every staff member present and issued the last order: "Everyone, pick up your weapons and prepare to stop the World Swallower. Even if we fight to the last person, we must stop the World Swallower here.
!Long live Victoria!”
"Victoria!"
"Victoria!"
The high-pitched shouts spread far and wide.
More soldiers joined the front line. They gave up the last chance to retreat and blocked the advance of the World Eaters with their determination to die.
The fighting continues until now, with less than 6,000 remaining members of this 8,000-man vanguard force, and more than 2,000 people died in previous battles, most of whom were elite combatants.
Soldiers holding weapons hid in the ditch, their faces covered with dust were extremely pale, but no one flinched until one soldier softly hummed a country song with simple and clear lyrics, and the second soldier sang along softly.
, third place, fourth place...
The singing became one, as if everyone had heard this song, and the hands that picked up weapons became firmer.
If they are going to die, let them die in this battle for survival and let the wind carry back the news of their triumph.
Listening to the singing echoing over the battlefield, Sean took his gun. No matter what, he would rather die on the battlefield than in the bed of Londinium Hospital.
He is old and has little life left.
Just do something more for this country.
The old dragoon general raised the gun in his hand, pointed the gun blade at the sky, and let out a familiar yet unfamiliar cry: "Victoria! Forward!"
Heavily armored soldiers surrounded their generals and advanced to the front, facing the menacing Space Marines.
…
"Even the humans of Terra do not lack strong men full of courage, but courage alone cannot stop the advancement of the Space Marines!"
The Space Marines took the lead, followed by numerous auxiliary troops, and crashed into the Victoria army formation. They started a fierce hand-to-hand battle in a depression.
Facts have proved that courage alone cannot defeat the far superior technological power. Most of the weapons of the Victoria heavy armored infantry are spears and war hammers. However, facing the heavy defense of the special armor of the Space Marines, the damage they can cause is minimal, but the chain sword can.
Easily cut through their armor.
The tragedy that happened in the city under the leadership of the Grand Knight happened again. The heroic warriors needed blood and lives to slow down the advance of the World Eaters, but could not stop them from moving forward.
Sean's spear hit a Space Marine so hard that he could even feel the impact of the rebound, and the chain hanging on the outside of his arm made a clicking sound.
The interstellar warrior was staggered by the impact and immediately stared at the old man with unusual fighting ability.
The chain sword slashed straight down, and Sean immediately ducked sideways, holding the gun barrel with both hands, and smashed the enemy's neck again.
The Space Marine's helmet is connected to the armor on the body, so the weakness at the neck is almost non-existent. This is one of the reasons why Terran humans cannot attack. These iron cans are so hard that even spell attacks cannot hit them.
Effect.
when!
There was a loud noise, and the Space Marine's body shook, and he resisted Sean's attack.
There was a heavy breathing under the helmet, and he raised his chain sword to block Sean's spear. However, because Sean's gun was connected to the armor, the weapon was not knocked away.
"he's mine!"
After the leader of the World Eaters killed a Victoria soldier, he also discovered the existence of Sean. As a powerful warrior, he was born with a desire for glory. Killing an enemy general was very attractive to him.
.
The Space Marines who were entangled with Sean immediately got out of the way, and even avoided several Space Marines around them, clearing a relatively clean space for their commander to duel.
Sean was panting violently at this moment, and his physical strength was exhausted. The iron gun that was so light when he was young is now so heavy that it is almost impossible to lift it.
The previous attack by the Space Marine that sent the iron spear flying had obviously hurt his arm. He was experiencing excruciating pain, and he judged that the bone might be broken.
"Human Terra, I give you the highest honor!"
"You damn outsiders!"
The commander sneered: "We are the masters of this world, and you are just a group of thieves!"
The chain sword fell hard on Sean, and he only had time to raise his gun to block it before his whole body flew away, half of his body stained red with blood.
The Space Marine's wide metal boots flattened the snow. Looking at Sean who fell to the ground, he slowly raised his chain sword.
Cut off the head of this Terran human to please the gods and satisfy your heart's thirst for blood and life!
Suddenly, a golden light fell from the sky and swept across a large auxiliary army!
The World Eater Commander was caught off guard and was knocked out by this golden light!
An army that could be said to be a mixed bag of troops rushed into the battlefield. No one knew where they came from, but the guy at the front was brandishing an axe. He was extremely fierce and would chop down anyone he saw. He followed behind him.
There was also a woman with an orange ponytail and a long gun in her hand. When the auxiliary army saw her, she was stabbed down before she even had time to raise her hand to shoot.
Who is that?
She has long golden hair flowing around her shoulders. As a woman, she is very heroic. She is holding a dark gold sword with a shining blade.
The bright golden light was like the blazing sun in the sky, and it was her sword that knocked away the World Eater commander.
Sean was also stunned. The racial characteristics were clearly Aslan!
"Are you the World Eater Commander?"
The lion raised his head. Her figure looked particularly petite in front of the huge space warriors, but no one dared to underestimate her, especially the sword in her hand. Even the powerful second-generation space warriors sensed a hint of danger.
"who are you?"
