The loud explosion shook the earth.
A large amount of dust was stirred up and then fell down under the pull of the planet's gravity.
It fell on the Cadian soldiers who were dodging in all directions.
Minka, who was hiding under a huge rock, took a breath of the pungent smoke and dust raised by the explosion and couldn't help coughing twice.
Shouting sounds were heard, and some people wearing bloody monster masks ran out from the ravines in the mountains.
They held various weapons in their hands and shot madly at the imperial troops.
A whistling sound of tearing air came from the sky.
Three fighter planes painted with blasphemous patterns roared past.
Missiles were launched directly at the 101st Regiment where Minka was located.
A series of explosions rang out, engulfing the 101st Regiment in a sea of fire.
The communication carried the sounds of some soldiers groaning in pain, requesting medical assistance.
"All units, attention, we are under attack by traitors. Bring the tanks and heavy artillery up, we need it, fire team, shoot down those fighters, don't let them escape."
The commander's angry voice came over the comms.
Obviously, the commander was furious at being suddenly attacked by traitors.
This is yet another insult to the honor of Khadia.
Absolutely no forgiveness.
Minka crouched under a huge rock and luckily avoided several attacks from the enemy.
She poked her head out cautiously.
I saw those damn traitors running towards me from a few hundred meters away.
Their bodies were painted with profane words.
While shooting at the 101st Regiment, he was carrying a twisted monster sculpture and shouting.
It seemed that that would attract the gods and give them some blessings.
"We have found the traitor target, heading due east. We estimate there are about a hundred of them, only four hundred meters away from us. They are approaching us." Minka said into the communication device.
"Kill them." The commander's voice came from the communication, "Don't let those bastards go. Let them know that the honor of Cadia cannot be tarnished."
“I see,” Minka said.
At this time, Vardy and several other survivors also crawled over from the side.
After a few simple instructions, they began to cooperate tacitly.
Just like usual training.
They started forming firing squads to shoot those damned traitors.
Cadia's equipment is the first echelon among the many legions of the Empire.
Many forge worlds will give priority to sending high-quality equipment to Cadia.
So that the Cadians can hold the first fortress between humanity and the Eye of Terror.
Although the Cadians failed, their excellent equipment was not recovered.
The reason is that they have a new mission, which is to travel to various parts of the galaxy to fight against the enemies of the Empire.
This is their salvation.
The fall of Cadia Fortress is a sin that they will need to pay for their entire lives.
Failure is failure.
Whatever the reason, they had betrayed the Emperor's trust.
The surviving Khadians are convinced of one thing.
They need to keep fighting until the last Cadian is dead.
Only then will the Emperor forgive their faults and accept all the heroic souls of Cadia.
Until then, they must fight for the Emperor as best they can.
Only in this way can we be saved.
"Die, traitor," Minka said, aiming at a yelling guy and pulling the trigger.
With the flash of a carbine barrel.
The cultist she was targeting fell directly to the ground.
Through the scope, Minka could see a small hole pierced through the opponent's head.
The carbine laser gun does not require calculation of trajectory and direction.
Aim and shoot in a straight line.
Vardy and others also opened fire, and a group of traitors fell down in a short while.
Minka, Vardy and others couldn't help but high-five to celebrate.
"Now you know how powerful the Cadians are."
"Haha, run quickly."
... ... ... .
But soon, they faced the revenge of the traitors.
A shell landed near them.
The huge rocks where they were hiding were blown to pieces, with debris flying everywhere.
Minka was also blown away by the huge shock wave and fell into the bushes.
The huge sonic boom made her head buzz.
I felt a little confused.
When I got up, my whole face was burning with pain.
She fired a few more shots at the people in that direction.
With the sound of lasers cutting through the air, several traitors fell.
Seeing that artillery fire was unable to eliminate Minka and the others, the traitors fled like frightened birds and beasts.
Maybe they thought they had encountered an immortal ghost.
He was not killed even after being bombarded, and he was able to fight back. It's so scary.
Seeing the traitor running away, Minka stopped shooting.
She ran to where Vardy was, wanting to see how he was doing.
All that was left of the original hiding place was a charred deep pit.
The groaning sound came from the bushes beside the highway.
Minka walked over and saw Valdi with a sharp stone fragment piercing his chest.
He was lying in the bushes.
His face was pale and sweat was oozing from his forehead.
The wound continued to bleed.
It was obvious that he was in pain.
"Valdi." Minka's voice was filled with grief, "It shouldn't be like this, how could you!"
"It's okay." Seeing Minka's face full of fear and grief, Vardy tried to comfort him, but his tone was pale and weak, filled with suppressed pain.
After just a few words, he started vomiting blood.
"No!! Hold on." Minka stopped Vardy and shouted into the communication, asking the medic to come over.
"You have to work hard on your own, Minka. From now on, you are no longer a rookie, understand? You have to be independent. Remember that Cadia will always be glorious, and we can't let the Emperor down again."
Vardy looked at the little girl in front of him and used up his last bit of strength to make his final instructions.
He felt a little bit of pity for Minka.
All in all, the girl had only been in the army for a few months.
But fate was so cruel to her.
The Great Plunderer used the Blackstone Fortress to smash the entire planet of Cadia into pieces in front of her.
In the first battle, he saw many of his companions die.
Now, she had just recovered from the failure of Cardia, but fell into another abyss.
Now, she has to live with the honor of Cardia.
This road is painful.
And she has to endure the suffering of this life.
When the medic ran over.
Vardy has stopped breathing.
There was a look of peace on his face.
His wife, children, and comrades all died in the Battle of Cadia.
He was also tasked with restoring the morale and combat effectiveness of the lost Cadia 101st Regiment.
It kept him busy and exhausted.
All his friends and relatives are dead.
But he didn't even have the right to be sad.
As one of the few remaining veterans, his sadness is bound to further reduce the morale of the Cadia 101st Regiment.
Death is a terrible thing.
But for those who have lost everything and are burdened with heavy burdens, it is undoubtedly a relief.
Two Chimera troop carriers and a Leman Russ tank came up from the rear and bombarded the possible artillery positions.
After a while, the alarm was lifted.
All the traitors were wiped out.
The fighter plane was also shot down, and the wreckage was burning fiercely on the plain.
The 101st Cadia Regiment reassembles.
This was a small-scale attack.
Although they were successfully repelled, they achieved very good results.
However, the morale of the 101st Regiment generally declined.
Casualties occurred before even entering the position, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to morale.
Minka was worried about whether they could win, and also felt a little sad for their dead comrades.
It's a pity that we are in the midst of war.
She didn't even have time to mourn for her comrades.
After hastily burying the bodies and collecting the nameplates of the deceased, they continued on their way.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
The 101st and other Cadian regiments were soon ordered to launch an assault on a traitor-held hive city.
They want to take it back.
The enemy wears uniforms with strange symbols, claiming to bring a new baptism to mankind and lead a new era.
The enemy set up barriers in the streets and city buildings.
Those imperial civilians who did not have time to escape the city during the rebellion became their hostages.
Forced to take up weapons or charge at the Cadian soldiers with bombs strapped to their bodies.
The commander showed no mercy and directly ordered the heavy tanks and personnel carriers to run over the civilians.
Minka followed the troops to launch an attack on the hive city.
She switched the gun to full-automatic mode, and the hot laser bullet fired a series of lasers that hit the fortifications built by the traitors.
Charging with her were 20 other Cadian soldiers.
Everyone shoots as crazy as she does, with great accuracy.
The traitors had little training, but they had good firepower equipment, including heavy automatic cannons and parallel double-barreled cannons.
It’s a pity that these traitors are not facing ordinary Imperial troops.
But Cadian soldiers.
One of the most elite troops in the empire.
Every man and woman born on Cadia learns how to fight from the moment they can remember, so that they can take up arms to defend their homeland and be ready to repel Chaos at any time.
Cardia's daily routine is training, resting, training, resting, and fighting.
They are battle-hardened and experienced.
If the fall of Cadia had not taken away so many veterans, the hive defenders would have lost more miserably and more quickly.
Minka and others charged forward.
Three rebels were killed by her and one was knocked down by her.
Minka rushed forward and stabbed the opponent's throat with a bayonet, and bright red blood gushed out.
She could clearly see that the other person was only about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The traitor covered his pierced throat with his hand, his face filled with extreme fear.
"You shouldn't betray," Minka said. "Even if you die a thousand times, you shouldn't betray."
The young traitor's eyes widened, and then he was no longer able to breathe.
The Imperial vehicles rumbled forward, and artillery fire continued to bombard the traitors.
Soon, the traitors could no longer hold on and left, they were defeated step by step.
Even with the protection of the civilians in the hive city, it would be difficult for them to defend the hive city.
Numerous war machines continuously attacked the rebel fortifications.
The brutal artillery bombardment continued day and night for more than ten days, reducing all buildings other than strategic targets to ruins.
The troop carriers and super-heavy tanks acted as the vanguard. With rumbling sounds, they rolled over the enemy's corpses and blasted away the enemies hidden in the buildings with one shot.
The Cadian Corps advanced step by step, forcing the rebels to abandon a large number of fortifications and corpses and flee to the inner city in panic.
Minka thought victory would come.
They would easily retake the hive city and complete their mission.
Until she saw the cultists appear pushing crosses with civilians tied to them.
Minka once again realized that she had oversimplified her imagination of the dangers of the galaxy.
The cultists tied the civilians naked to crosses using wires with blades and thorns.
Those people kept screaming in pain and begging for mercy.
Hopefully the cultists can get around them.
The cultists paid them no attention.
Instead, they surrounded these sufferers, performing all kinds of strange dances like shamans and praying incoherently.
The experienced commander recognized at a glance that the cultists were offering sacrifices to the demons in the rift, begging for power from them.
He ordered his troops to speed up the attack.
However, it was still a step too slow.
Along with those guys' weird spells, evil magic was released to the fullest.
Some terrible monsters rushed out from the shadows.
The dense swarm of insects, like a torrential rain, covered the sky and rushed towards the Cadia troops.
Block the air intake, muzzle, goggles, mouth, nose, ears and eyes.
The drinking water boiled out of nowhere, and the engines overheated and overloaded and burned out.
Many soldiers either turned into hard stone statues, or became soft and boneless, or their skin and flesh rotted.
Some fell into madness, some turned into twisted monsters.
If the government affairs are not handled with care, these people will kill each other.
Swarms of insects crawled all over the ground, spreading madly.
As the war progressed, pustules appeared all over the soldiers' bodies, and their bodies and minds changed, turning them into terrifying demons.
Just like the foul monsters told in strange myths.
The dead stood up again, with hideous faces, and pounced on their former comrades, chewing their bloody bones.
This is a battle in which supernatural powers are used.
The Cadian soldiers, who were originally confident of victory, were forced to retreat from the hive in a panic, losing all the fruits of their previous victory.
They had no means to resist those horrific creatures, and if they stayed any longer, they would only suffer more casualties.
Minka watched as the monsters devoured her companions.
It overturned the super-heavy Leman Russ tank. This was a terrifying monster that no human power could fight against.
"Those good-for-nothings have dragged us into a fight we can't win."
Minka said to the soldier next to her as the troops withdrew.
It's not that she disrespects her boss or is afraid of death.
Those horrific monsters were clearly beyond the capabilities of human power to combat.
Officials in the Connie system should not be looking for the Cadia Corps, but the Demonic Inquisition.
Only the Demonic Inquisition can fight against these abominable monsters.
Commanders were forced to blockade hives containing traitors.
The rebels launched attacks at regular intervals.
Trying to break the blockade.
Minka thought that the Connie galaxy would become a long-lasting battlefield.
She found out she was wrong again.
After a period of stalemate, the traitors launched another attack on the blockade.
This time, they dragged the altar of sacrifice and took the wizards with them.
On the battlefield, those horrible monsters were summoned.
Trying to use witchcraft to break the empire's blockade.
The sniper hid in the dark and killed all the wizards who dared to show up.
However, the enemy still launched a charge on the imperial defense line with the help of strange witchcraft.
roar!!
The roar of the wild beast was heard.
Those horrible monsters and mutants swarmed out and pounced on the imperial troops.
The tanks were blown away by them and the personnel carriers were also blown up.
The Cadians held their ground with crude fortifications, fighting almost madly against the traitors who used witchcraft.
They quickly charged onto the Cadian positions.
He hacked and killed indiscriminately and trampled the wounded under his feet.
Minka and other soldiers fixed their bayonets and made a final resistance.
Stab at supernatural foes with insane determination.
Just when Minka thought they could no longer contain the demon.
The ground shook, and a series of streaks of light struck the position filled with enemies.
Several steam-belching orbital drop pods stood airtight on the battlefield.
The traitor's bullets could not cause any damage to it.
With a dull metallic collision and a hiss of decompression, the hatch of the drop capsule slowly opened.
Accompanied by the hissing of high-pressure gas, a giant wearing black power armor walked out of the airdrop capsule.
They were more than two meters tall, armed with chainswords and bolters.
Minka was stunned for a moment. As a Cadian warrior, she naturally knew what these guys were.
Angel of the Emperor, Sword of the Imperium, Bane of the Enemies of Mankind.
She could even recognize the other person's identity from the emblem on his armor.
"Dark, dark angel." Minka said with some stammering.
These were none other than the first superhuman legion created by the Emperor, the Dark Angels.
They are carefully selected warriors in the universe who have undergone various surgeries and implanted biological shells, allowing them to control power armor like a second skin.
Similar giants stepped out of the drop pod.
Standing behind the first warrior, they formed a wide fan.
The Space Marine at the front was the only one not wearing a helmet.
He looked towards the battlefield with a serious look.
"It's the breath of that demon again. What on earth does it want to do!!" the leading dark angel said to himself.
He then ordered the Emperor's Angels to join the battle.
No doubt.
The Space Marines in black power armor rushed towards the most intense fighting.
They crossed the huge crater in one step, firing a burst of accurate explosive shells with every step forward.
The rebels' momentum was shattered in an instant.
Even the monsters they summoned were sent directly back to the warp by the dark angels and posed no threat at all.
The traitor's body couldn't withstand the attack of the explosive bomb at all, and half of his body would be blown to pieces if it was touched.
At the very end, the huge Dreadnoughts also joined the battlefield along with the Emperor's Angels.
He took heavy steps and crushed all the traitors who blocked his way.
Some think tanks holding scepters summoned supernatural forces that were more terrifying than the traitors and drove back all those disgusting monsters.
"Fight back." The commander's order came over the communication.
Minka and other Cadian soldiers launched a counterattack along with warriors from the Dark Angels Chapter.
The Dark Angel strode at the forefront of the palace, wielding his chainsword and firing regular volleys of explosives to harvest the retreating traitors.
The Cadian soldiers raised their laser guns and shot at those who escaped.
The traitors' retreat quickly turned into a rout.
They fled all the way into the inner city, trying to use the inner city for defense.
Unfortunately, in front of the dark angel, their witchcraft no longer works.
The Dark Angels' Librarians displayed ancient techniques even more sophisticated than theirs.
Interrupting their sacrificial rituals and causing those lousy wizards to suffer backlash.
With the help of the Dark Angels, the frustrated Cadian soldiers suddenly reversed the situation and recaptured the hive city.
Watch as captured cultists are led away for execution.
Minka couldn't help but be in awe of the Space Marines' terrifying fighting power.
"I am Minka, the company commander of the 101st Regiment of Cardia. Thank you for your help." Minka said.
Hearing the name Cadia, the Space Marine looked at Minka for a moment, "Dark Angels Deathwing, Tactical Squad, Boris."
"Thank you again, Lord Boris." Minka said, "Do you need our assistance?" "No." Boris said, "We are chasing a demon. If you don't want your comrades to be killed or injured, then don't get involved."
“I see, sir,” Minka said.
Boris looked around.
The entire nest was filled with black smoke and the fire had not been put out.
The situation is dire.
Boris knew that all this was caused by the devil behind the scenes.
So far, they have received many messages asking for help.
The initial information even included the name of Fallen Angel, which involved the Caliban Code.
To this end, Azrael, Grand Master of the Dark Angels Chapter, heir to the Sword and Helmet of the Lion, sent out the Deathwing Company to track down the cause.
Boris is one of them.
He tracked it down all the way.
The more I investigated, the more confused I became.
He found no trace of the fallen angel.
Only traces of the devil were found.
"The interrogation revealed that it was found. It is deep in the hive."
The think tank's voice came through the helmet's communication device.
A coordinate is sent to a personal database.
Boris led the other team members towards the coordinates.
No matter what, he would catch this demon.
