Chapter 47 Imperial Frontier: The End Is Near

The churning sea of ​​beasts permeates the city walls. The towering hive city walls are solid and tenacious. The void shield generator on its surface firmly reinforces its walls to block the raging Tyranid disaster outside.

The orbital weapons on the city wall fired firepower day and night, and dense artillery bombarded the entire land. Once upon a time, when you stood on the city wall, you could see the boundless buildings outside, and see towering spiers and towers.

Gothic architecture, but now all that no longer exists.

The scarlet land extends to the end of the earth, covered with an ocean, an ocean composed of nightmare beasts. They hit the stand shield like a tide. Giant war beasts constantly hit and bombarded the surface of the shield with biological cannons.

The flickering light of the void shield continued to light up above Olaf's head.

The old wolf's gray beard and hair were lit up by various lights. He looked at the billowing sea of ​​​​fire under the city wall. Not far away, rows of automatic cannons on the tracks of the city wall were firing continuously, and there were even land fortress cannons with astonishing caliber.

Roaring with thunderous fury.

But no matter how hard the Imperial Army worked, and how many artillery shells the Mechanicus workers produced, they could not destroy these beasts. They always came at them endlessly, and even if they tried their best, they could not cause any effective damage to them.

And outside the Milky Way, outside the shining of the Emperor's light, countless such swarm fleets are approaching. These boundless Tyranid tentacles that engulf the entire galaxy are stretching from the darkness everywhere to the Milky Way, bringing the destined destruction with them.

Come.

This is a desperate fact. Anyone who learns this news and realizes the horror of Tyranid will fall into despair and collapse, but the Astartes will not, they will not, they are the Emperor's angels of death, they do not know

What is fear.

"Is everything okay? Olaf." Bell stepped forward and asked. His armor was stained with a large amount of blood. Although it was not surprising as a pharmacist, Olaf knew that the blood stains on Bell's body were not healing.

Caused by brothers.

The Ultramarines Apothecary walked up to Olaf with a bolt gun, and together they looked down at the rolling tide of beasts below. Both of them stared at the gray-red craze, looking at the roaring and roaring Tyranid beasts.

.

"Whenever I think about the great enemy surrounding the empire, my brother, I can't help but feel doubtful for our fellow humans." Olaf said, his gray beard swaying slightly in the hot wind, "The Milky Way is extremely dangerous. Ten thousand

Years have passed and we are still standing on the front line, fighting against the Emperor's great enemy, but it seems that tranquility and peace have never come, and there is only eternal war and destruction in the galaxy."

"Maybe, brother, but there has never been any period of human civilization that was truly peaceful. Since the origin of our species in Ancient Terra, we have been closely related to war."

Bell took off his helmet, and I had to say that he was actually quite handsome, with a delicate face and a proper son of Macragge.

"We fight with each other and foreign enemies, but human civilization develops and grows during wars. This is how we have been for tens of thousands of years."

"Indeed, my glorious brother." Captain Mikael came to the two of them with his centurion helmet between his arms. Behind him were Lancelot and Ragnar who had just returned from the bloody battle.

"Although the galaxy is full of wars, and death and destruction seem to be everywhere, there is not only destruction and killing in the galaxy. At this moment, our hometown Macragge is already in the disaster of the Tyranid War.

Restored, the entire Greater Ultramar Sector also thrived."

Captain Mikael looked at the gray-red craze. He raised his iron arm and pointed at the end of the earth and the distant space. "At the same time that we are being attacked by Tyranid, there are thousands of imperial worlds developing.

Our suffering and war are the guarantee for their development."

"Civilization, art and reason still exist in the Empire, and its germination is tenacious. Although it is still fragile now, I believe it will still thrive and one day allow mankind to achieve what the Emperor expects us to achieve.

realm."

"It is precisely because of this that we, the Emperor's Iron Guards, will fight in every world forever without any doubt or distress. My battle brothers, it is precisely because of our battles and sacrifices that the fire of hope can be

Let it continue in the empire and let it develop and burn in thousands of worlds that are still peaceful today."

Mikael's voice is resounding, like an erudite old scholar. As the company commander of the Ultramarines Chapter, he is obviously well-read in poetry and has achieved great achievements in various fields. Unlike other chapters, the Ultramarines attach great importance to

Due to such spiritual connotation, although obviously not everyone likes this style.

Ragnar growled impatiently and waved the chain sword he found temporarily, "I hate such formal things. We only need to know that Father Quan wants us to fight against millions of powerful enemies.

Already."

"But we must not forget the purpose of our fighting and why we exist." Bell said seriously, raising his arms, "It is precisely because some brothers have forgotten our purpose and what the Emperor really wants from us.

This will lead to rebellion and betrayal."

"We must not forget that our superhuman bodies are sworn to dedicate everything to the Emperor's cause, and the Emperor's demands have never changed and are for the welfare of humanity as a whole. You must not forget this, Ragnar."

"Okay, Bell, don't go online. Where did you get this?" Ragnar walked up with a smile, took off his helmet and hugged the battle brother's shoulders, but it was still the knowledgeable Mi who answered him.

Captain Kyle.

"If I remember correctly, this famous saying of truth is taken from the great Lord of Fire Dragons, Vulkan Vulcan." "Yes, Captain, as the Emperor's Son said."

Olaf, who also came from the wolf group, but was much calmer, nodded affirmatively. He looked at his battle brothers with approval, but Ragna scratched his head in boredom, "Ah, I don't understand you, I'll just kill the enemy."

Let you think about it."

Before Ragnar finished speaking, something roared down from the sky, and the thing hit the street behind the city wall heavily. Several Astartes walked to the city wall to look at the thing.

Several Planetary Defense Force soldiers who were resting on the ground also hesitantly walked up with guns in hand. Two of them stood on the edge of the pit and looked in, then they picked up their laser guns and shouted in fear.

Then shoot down.

Almost instantly, the two of them were torn to pieces by dozens of Tyranid beasts. More than a dozen Tyranid beasts crawled out of the pit. Almost immediately, countless airborne sacs hit the ground from the air, and countless

Tyranid war beasts burst out of their wriggling landing sites like newborn babies.

But these newborns began to kill crazily almost immediately. Countless Tyranid creatures swept through the streets near the inner wall, and countless gunshots and screams immediately swept through the entire city.

Bell raised his head in astonishment and looked at the sky above his head. In the dark cloudy atmosphere, the flaming mushroom capsules roared down and hit the hive city like meteors.

Although the anti-aircraft guns were still firing fiercely, they were unable to stop their huge numbers, which was enough to prove what was happening now.

"The space battle has been lost! The swarm has begun to increase its intensity!" Bell immediately came up with the answer, but now this is not a problem that Captain Kemir needs to consider.

The company commander put on the centurion battle helmet and activated the communicator, "I am Captain Kemir. All Astartes and mortal warriors obey the order, abandon the city walls and outer positions and retreat to the inner city! Quick!"

After receiving a burst of affirmative replies, the company commander nodded affirmatively to several brothers, and they immediately moved along the city wall. The cysts whizzed down from both sides of the city wall, and the wriggling tentacles and huge bodies smashed a building.

Buildings, some even hit the city wall directly.

Tyranid creatures filed out of the cysts and slaughtered all non-Tyranid creatures on the city wall. The four Astartes rushed through the corridor on one side of the city wall and reached the elevator.

The surviving mortal soldiers also joined their team. They took the elevator that was flashing red light and arrived at the ground. The moment the orbital elevator door opened, they arrived at another purgatory.

The entire street was filled with Tyranid beasts. They were gnawing and tearing at the bones of mortals. Screams and screams could be heard one after another. Almost immediately, the Tyranid beasts noticed the group of people in the elevator.

Kemir took the lead and raised his bolt pistol and opened fire quickly. The bolts instantly shattered the head of the first Tyranid. The Astartes and the mortals immediately started firing, and the rapid firepower poured on the beasts, killing them almost instantly.

Dozens of beasts were killed on the spot, but at the other end of the street hundreds of Tyranid beasts were galloping towards them, destroying and destroying everything they saw along the way, leaving only death and blood on the ground.

"Go! Forward!" the company commander roared and fired continuously. He pulled out his power sword and took the lead in breaking out. The champion swordsman's sharp long blade flew among the Tyranid beasts, killing each one and falling to the ground.

Everyone followed closely behind the company commander. Ragnar and Lancelot charged forward, and together with the company commander used chain swords and power swords to open the way forward. The mortal guards followed closely behind them, shooting and advancing around them. No.

Some people were hit by carnivorous beetles and fell to the ground, while others were pushed down and dismembered by knife insects that suddenly appeared.

But they still pushed forward, and from time to time warriors from all corners joined the breakout team. Warriors from Vostonia, Valhalla and the local guard filled the entire team, with gray green and scarlet becoming the dominant force of the team.

color.

At the front and sides of the team, the Astartes of various chapters who had responded to Kemir's call advanced on iron feet, their bolters and chainswords roaring, and the Emperor's Angels of Death were carrying them with high efficiency.

Mortal people stand out from the siege.

The streets were filled with Tyranid beasts falling from the sky. They attacked the living creatures on the entire street. Residents and soldiers were bloody slaughtered and devoured. The huge herds of beasts overwhelmed the street positions formed by law enforcement officers and guardsmen everywhere.

spread.

In a street coffee shop, a large group of refugees who fled in a hurry screamed and looked at the Tyranid beasts trying to break in outside the door. Their scythe claws pierced the door panel, biting and pulling the survivors who wanted to eat them.

them.

A few relatively strong men blocked the door with all their strength, but their strength was no advantage compared to the Tyranid beasts. The door was constantly pushed by the impact, and the terrifying monster stuck its head in, roaring with blood and killing countless people.

Saliva splattered on the ground.

The women screamed and looked at the monster, but just as the door was about to be knocked open, the monster was dragged out by something, and fell into silence after a scream.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the men blocking the door were pushed to the ground. The people in the room looked at the giant standing at the door. He was holding a bloody chain sword and looking at everyone in the room.

"Why are you still standing there? Let's go!" The black-armored warrior said, grabbing the chain sword and hacking down another Tyranid. He called on the people in the room to get out, and everyone stood up and crawled out.

The giant passed by, and when they recognized that it was an Astartes, they no longer doubted it.

The refugee team joined the breakout army. These screaming refugees were seriously slowed down in the team. Lancelot cursed and turned around and raised his bolt gun to shoot down the Tyranids that were chasing after them.

group.

"Ragnar! You will kill everyone by bringing these refugees to join us!" "I must save them! I cannot tolerate abandoning the people of the empire!" "Can you fucking prioritize things?! This is

Is it time to carry forward the emperor’s spirit of fraternity?!” “That’s what I think!”

"Okay! Quiet!" Olaf shouted sharply, and a psychic shock wave knocked away several Tyranid beasts. They crashed into the ruins of the city and were instantly swallowed up by countless bricks and tiles.

"Cover, refugees and mortals retreat to the inner city gate! Form a defense line!" The old wolf wearing a tall priest armor shouted, and Captain Mikael also stopped suddenly. He looked at the nest that was slowly opening not far away.

They were not far from the gate of the second inner wall of the city.

"Everyone! Organize a defense line! Immediately!" The moment after the company commander gave the order, more than a dozen Astartes around him immediately joined the formation. They stood shoulder to shoulder behind the mortals and blocked the biological bullets with their bodies.

The flesh-eating insects gnawed at the armor, but could not leave any traces on the strong carapace. The Astartes raised their blasters and fired a volley, and the storm-like barrage rushed towards the insect swarm.

Flesh and blood exploded on the street, and the flying flesh and blood splashed all over the wall, but suddenly a green plasma plasma was shot from across the street, and the plasma hit an Astartes monk, and his

The armor was burned and corroded by plasma, and its flesh and blood dissolved and collapsed in a very short period of time.
