Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 42 Imperial Frontier: Battle of Tyranids

The naval gun roared silently amidst the shaking like a landslide. The giant naval gun shells roared out and broke through the curtain of the universe. In just a few seconds, the shells hit the purple-black chitin carapace violently. The explosion and flames spread everywhere and engulfed the rugged carapace surface lines.

The dazzling light of the heavy light spear array and the ship-borne turbolaser cannon cluster lit up the dark night sky, and countless laser beams and physical shells turned into dense rain of fire in the galaxy.

Countless beams of light intertwined with physical cannonballs, hitting the cruising void beasts head-on like heavy rain in a strong wind.

The Tyranid Hive Fleet rushed from the direction of Victoria's satellite, and those biological ships covered with hard carapace charged forward. These large and small biological ships advanced against the Empire's artillery fire.

The hornworm ship collided with an imperial frigate. The warship looked so small in front of the void beast. It was broken, exploded and sank almost instantly.

Dazzling sparks bloomed in the gorgeous background of the Milky Way. The Sword-class frigate squadron at the forefront of the Imperial Navy began to rapidly change direction. The frigates fled backwards from the huge Tyranid ship.

The monster opened its bloody mouth and bit around in the void, while on the other side the Imperial Navy fleet launched swarms of torpedoes. Proton torpedoes and storm torpedoes roared out from the head launch port of every cruiser and battleship. , the flashing red light of the warhead intertwined and hit the hornworm ship like a meteor.

The giant beast screamed and the blood spurted out from being beaten. Chitinous carapace fragments were flying everywhere. The black blood also floated and spread in the weightless environment. Light spears and naval guns immediately followed up and beat the giant beast into a floating state. Crushed meat in the galaxy.

But this is not the end of the battle. Countless Tyranid biological ships are coming like swarms. Those monsters with wide open mouths have no formation at all. They rely on their hard carapace and impact force to advance suddenly. On their bodies, green plasma sprayed out from their open mouths, shooting towards the Imperial Navy like cannonballs.

The void shields of the battleships kept lighting up, and the blue shield surface flashed with fluorescent light. Cole stood in the bridge and looked at the shield light that kept flashing in front of him.

Countless gunfire beams were reflected in his eyes, and the dense fire network that the Imperial Navy was proud of was combined with the background of the Milky Way itself, and a gorgeous picture unfolded before Cole's eyes.

Captain Cole put one hand on the armrest of the bridge and shouted, "Fire controller! Use the Nova Cannon to bombard that mothership! Stop it from approaching the planet's orbit!"

"Yes! Captain!" the fire control operator shouted in agreement. Several data optical cables were inserted into his body, which allowed him to adjust and issue firing orders for the entire ship as if he were operating his own limbs.

The shining nova cannon flashed past Cole's eyes. The shining star cannon that penetrated the galaxy's light slammed into the hive mothership. The flashing beam shattered the outer carapace. The entire thick neck was instantly blasted apart and finally disintegrated and exploded. .

Swarms of flying insects rushed towards the fleet in dense numbers. They crossed over the wreckage of the biological fleet and hatched out from each biological mothership. These ancient monsters that could fly across the galaxy by vibrating their wings covered the shining Milky Way. The background is covered by a large shadow.

The imperial fleet gave instant feedback. The anti-aircraft cannons and turbine arrays fired out a dense rain of bullets. Countless sparks of fire shot towards the insect swarms. Almost instantly, there were countless explosions of fire in the black. Appeared in the clouds.

Cole looked at the behemoths of the swarm calmly. He raised his hand and floated the galaxy map before his eyes. It was a scene of destruction. Almost all the planets along the way still turned red, and the color of bloody death enveloped half of the galaxy. .

"First mate, how many swarm landing troops have we intercepted?" Cole asked. The first mate under the bridge looked at the technician's chair, and rows of data flashed through her eyes. He suddenly raised his head and shouted in response, "Sixty percent! But 40% of the insect sacs still passed through the atmosphere, 20% of which were destroyed by anti-aircraft fire, and only 100% successfully landed. Twenty out of ten!”

Twenty percent? No, this is not a small number. Although it seems to be small in statistics, Cole knows that to Tyran, it is still a huge herd of billions.

But now he couldn't do that much, he had to hold off the Tyranid fleet.

Cole swiped the display away and pointed at the battlefield outside the giant floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, "Withdraw all forward fleets and concentrate their firepower! In the name of the Emperor, we will win!"

The sky above the entire hive city was ignited, countless fireballs flashed in the dark gray clouds, and the sound of cannons echoed in the air.

Hydra's anti-aircraft cannons fired fiercely at the space. The four-gun muzzle sent deadly shells into the sky. Tens of millions of such anti-aircraft cannons roared in unison, spewing countless bombs throughout the hive. The ground flashed with bullets raining down.

Between the countless Hydra anti-aircraft cannons and ground-based multi-mounted anti-aircraft cannons, the huge ground-based turbolaser cannon slowly raised its muzzle. The deadly giant beam of light shot straight into the sky, and the eye-catching firelight illuminated the entire hive city. sky, and its recoil caused a large cloud of dust to rise around the turbolaser cannon.

Above the hive city, countless airborne cysts are breaking out of the clouds. The squirming Tyranid drop pods are raining down from the sky like heavy rain on the ground, but most of the parts that hit the hive city are densely packed. The artillery fire was annihilated, and all the cysts were evaporated almost instantly.

The terrifying density of firepower protected the sky of the hive city, but there were still fish caught under the burned sky, and those cysts hit the endless wilderness outside the city.

The Tyranids that successfully landed almost immediately launched an overwhelming attack. No order or command was needed. These nightmarish and terrifying creatures instinctively rushed toward the center of the hive.

Facing these nightmare creatures are the heroic Astra Militarum.

Laser beams and solid bombs roared and weaved the destruction of the battlefield. The entire land was covered with the remains of the Tyranids. These horrific nightmare creatures surged in from the horizon like a tsunami. The city was reduced to ruins and the streets became It has become a battlefield. Once upon a time, this place was also the gateway to the west gate of the hive city, the shining and dazzling Lion's Gate, but now it has long lost its usual charm.

The gleaming golden lion statue was smashed and toppled, the magnificent Gothic architecture was turned into rubble and ruins, the terrifying firepower of the Astra Militarum was poured on the entire streets and open spaces, and the Tyranids launched fearlessly Charge in waves, using the corpses of their companions as a base for advancement.

A huge Tyranid corpse fell on the battlefield, with a huge plasma pit on its body. Another Tyranid beast roared and stepped over the corpse of its companion to attack. Its many limbs were covered with the flesh and blood of its comrades. , but there was no sign of mercy or stopping at all.

The Astra Militarum's position between the remaining buildings opened fire violently around the monster. Laser guns and heavy bombs blasted away the Tyranid knife bugs and gun bugs that accompanied it in the attack. Those monsters exploded in flesh and blood. Turned into pieces of corpses on the ground, the monster charged head-on against the Empire's artillery fire.

A behemoth as big as a building knocked down a leaning building. It roared out from between the rubble. The fallen gravel and rubble were knocked flat and the behemoth was rushing towards the city wall with steps that shook the earth. The lower position.

The Valhalla Ice Warriors stood up from the trenches with rocket launchers on their shoulders. The rockets roared out with tail flames and shattered the two Tyranid warriors who were charging together at the feet of the giant beast. Intense explosions and lasers swept the surrounding area. Any visible Tyranid creature.

The Leman Russ tank drove up and parked steadily above the trench. Its turret was replaced with a melta heavy cannon. Behind the gun mant, the shooter pulled the trigger as the tank commander roared, and the dazzling melta cannonballs fired from above the position. It whizzed by and hit the Tyranid beast hard.

The monster screamed and fell to the ground, and at the moment it fell, countless shells fell around it. The Astra Militarum's heavy artillery responded to the call, and a torrential rain of shells fell from the sky, hitting the monster. It exploded into a smoking wreckage.

The Tyranids were still launching attacks, launching a tidal wave of attacks from all corners. The warriors of the Astra Militarum stood in the trenches and used the same rapid explosive bombs, laser beams and powerful weapons of the Empire to hit them head-on.

Countless artillery fires on the walls of the Lion Gate were shooting into the sky and the ground. The bombing covering the earth turned the entire land over several times, and the craters all over the earth blew up the whole world.

The lieutenant of Valhalla's 242nd Regiment opened fire violently with a laser gun. He roared and gave orders to his subordinates. A soldier fell beside him. He screamed and struggled, and carnivorous insects kept gnawing at his body. These crawling nightmares were burrowing into his flesh and blood, eating up every inch of his body.

The lieutenant raised his gun to end his pain. He buried his head to avoid the incoming carnivorous insect bullets. These creatures without digestive organs hit the wall and fell down. After a brief scream and struggle, they turned into corpses. corpse.

The lieutenant cursed and stood up, holding up his laser gun and preparing to fire, but his action was stopped. In front of him, a giant beast broke out of the ground. The monster flipped over the trench and flew over it, and its snake-like body slammed heavily. Behind the trench.

The python immediately began to kill, and its multiple razor-like claws began to harvest life. It overturned the multiple laser cannons blocking the Tyranid attack. In the brief moment when the firepower stopped, those nightmarish creatures surged up, The knife bug jumped into the trench and used its claws to harvest the life of the entire trench.

Countless swarms of insects swarmed into the trenches, and the Tyranid behemoth rushed in despite the artillery fire. With its last breath, it knocked down the firing Leman Russ tank. The behemoth trampled the tank's melta cannon muzzle. Then he breathed his last and died.

"Retreat! Retreat to the gate position! Hurry!" the lieutenant shouted, killing the attacking knife bug with one shot. He crawled out from the back of the trench and ran past the monster that was harvesting lives unscrupulously. The Astra Militarum soldier They evacuated their positions and began to retreat, but those swift beasts followed closely, and countless Astra Militarum warriors were caught up, hunted and killed directly.

Countless beasts crossed over the trenches, and the tall beasts stepped across the position with steps that shook the earth. The Astra Militarum rushed up the steps in front of the gate and ran to the platform above, where the Astra Militarum guarding They still started to fight back, and the dense rain of bullets tried their best to block the incoming herd of beasts.

The survivors rushed up the stairs. After the lieutenant stepped onto the first step, he turned around and shot a knife bug. However, the python rushed up at an extremely fast speed and knocked over the lieutenant. He fell to the ground and watched. The monster standing tall in front of him still raised the butcher knife in his hand and was about to harvest another life, but the lieutenant was not afraid at all.

He pulled out the grenade from his chest and grabbed the fuse, "For the Emperor!" he shouted, but when he opened the fuse, a huge figure fell from the air and instantly crushed the python's head, and the flesh and blood were instantly The spray was sprayed everywhere around him, and the iron feet stepping on his flesh and blood also took the first step.

The tall black giant held a bolt gun and opened fire at the charging Tyranid creatures one by one. The explosive bombs killed these nightmares. The three giants around them also fell together. They blocked the charging Tyranid frenzy at the first moment. .

Chain axes and standing swords flashed among the flesh, and severed limbs and fragments of flesh and blood were scattered everywhere. The lieutenant looked up and watched three Thunderhawks roaring past. They used explosive bombs to kill the Tyranids in the entire street. Monster, blood mist spread instantly.

Two more giants fell from the thunder hawks whizzing past in the air. They were two behemoths that were much larger than the surrounding giants. The veteran wearing Terminator power armor landed with a crash, and the moment he landed, he began to The killing spree began, the storm bolters roaring in unison after a brief silence.

The double-barreled bolters slaughtered and harvested lives. The Tyranid creatures that surged from the ruins of the streets were almost immediately beaten into a bloody mist. More Space Marines of the Ultramarines Chapter fell from the sky. The moment they landed, The formation was immediately deployed, the bolter roaring in his hand.

Some Space Marines landed directly in the center of the Tyranid herd. They immediately sprayed destructive flames back to back, and countless Tyranid creatures were beaten into broken biomass remains.

The tall Tyranid behemoth knocked down a building, crushed the remains of a tank, and roared angrily. It rushed ahead and rushed towards the Space Marines blocking the herd.

But just as the giant beast rushed head-on from the street, smashing into the surrounding buildings and sending rubbles flying, a Thunderhawk flew over his head, and a blue figure fell from its landing deck and stepped on it. on the back of the neck.

The bright red shirt fluttered in the wind, and the power sword flashing with energy lightning swung down. A large opening was neatly cut on the back of the monster's neck. The monster roared and hit a solid building on the side, but it There is no death.

The Space Marine on its back pulled out the Artifact Bolter from his belt and fired violently at the wound. The bomb blasted the wound deeper and deeper into its body. The Space Marine fired a melta grenade. It was inserted into the wound, even as the giant beast screamed and fell further and further.

He fell to the ground in an explosion of fire. His scarlet cloak danced with the sharp blade. Several Tyranid beasts were killed instantly. A powerful warrior wearing a centurion war helmet was among the Tyranid beasts. As if entering an uninhabited land, he single-handedly interrupted the charge of the entire beast herd.

A roar caught his attention. He pulled out his sharp blade and looked in that direction. Standing on top of the ruins was a Tyranid warrior. It held a long bone knife in its hand and looked at the champion with its bloody mouth open. warrior.

The Tyranid beasts jumped down from the ruins and rushed over, but the centurion showed no fear. He rushed towards the Tyranid warriors and the two sides fought hand to hand.

The Tyranid warrior waved the bone sword in his hand and struck continuously, but was blocked by the centurion. The champion warrior raised his power sword to block the Tyranid warrior and hit him head-on. Most people would have been hit by such an attack. Bones and flesh shattered, but he would not, he was an Astartes, the deadly weapon forged by the Emperor, his Angel of Death!

The champion warrior released his arm and pulled out his bolter with one hand, aiming at the Tyranid warrior and firing a shot. The giant beast screamed and leaned back. This provided a lightning-fast opportunity, and the centurion did not miss it.

The centurion wearing a cockscomb helmet spun around, and the cold light of the power sword flashed across the air in front of him. When the blade stopped, the Tyranid warrior's head fell to the ground, and his huge body fell to the ground.

The centurion calmly put away his sword, and the Tyranid knife bugs and gun bugs that lost the command of the node creatures around him began to disperse across the ruins. They fled into the shadows of the ruins and disappeared without a trace.

"Captain Mikael." The Space Marines came over, and the captain turned to look at his brothers and nodded in salute.

"Good swordsmanship, I have long heard that all the emperor's champions are extraordinary, and now it is indeed true." Lancelot Ye said eagerly, and he shook away the blood from the knight's sword in his hand.

Mikael waved his iron hand in front of him, and he looked at the completely collapsed building aside. From here, he could see a massive swarm of Tyranids attacking the empire's defense line. The entire horizon was full of swarms of worms. A large army.

"We must find the Tyranid commander and behead him, so as to provide time for the imperial army to reorganize." Mikael said, "Agreed."

Vito's voice came from everyone's communicators. Captain Mikael tilted his head slightly in surprise, "Judge, how is the situation in the city?" "It's not good, but I can still persist, in front of you. The Tyranid Tyrant is about two kilometers away, kill it."

"How did you know it was there?" Ragnar asked in surprise. "Does it matter?" "No, I don't think so." "Very well, go kill it."

Vito's voice hung up, and everyone looked at each other. Then Mikael turned around and looked at the road ahead, "The Inquisitor is as reliable as ever. He also accurately predicted the enemy commander in Ultramar. Location, because of this, we can defend the Arctic Fortress."

The Emperor's Champion drew his sword and pointed it toward the sky, "Brothers! Mortal soldiers! In the name of the Emperor, walk with me!"

"March for Ultramar!"
