Chapter 623 Battle of the Beasts: Crossing the Worm's Nest Cave
Chapter 623 Beast War: Passing through the Insect Nest Cave
The power sword cut through the rolled steel, and the huge metal elevated frame immediately fell in front of Lancelot. He called for the walking armor behind him to follow.
The huge four-legged Mechanicus "Wild Ass" Dune Walker tank followed. Surrounding him were Imperial Army soldiers with guns, and some Mechanicus skitarii mixed in. Their long
The procession passed by a tall rolled steel barricade towering at the foot of the mountain range.
Lancelot continued to cut off the tall roadblocks blocking tanks and other vehicles in front, and Ragnar also used his power ax to cut together. The two of them were like explorers walking through the jungle, constantly hacking with machetes.
Cutting down the vines and shrubs in front of him.
They were shot down, and it was obvious that after the Valkyrie fell, Lancelot's team joined Ragnar and began to move towards the rendezvous point together.
"How do you think things are going in heaven?"
Ragnar asked.
Lancelot looked up at the sky. Fighters were still biting in the sky, and the Infinite Frontier was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps it had returned to a high-level orbit.
"I don't know, but the situation looks a little worse than we expected, but Cole will figure it out, he can always solve the problem."
"That's true. He is an expert in heavenly matters. Let's just keep busy with earthly matters."
Normally Ragnar would use it to sharpen iron like clay, but now it was used as a bright torch as he walked in front of Lancelot.
After thinking for a moment, Lancelot decided to ask Ragnar for other opinions. The latter really couldn't come up with a better idea, so he shrugged and agreed.
"Judge, we are here."
Ragnar said that Lancelot discovered those figures according to his reminder. Several people appeared in the cave, and slender tongues of fire sprayed towards this direction.
"Stop! Load the bullets, there are wild beasts here!"
Suddenly Lancelot heard something strange.
"Two Lords Astartes, we have found a way."
He saw a bone among the stones. It looked like it belonged to a local creature, not a human, but some kind of arthropod. Lancelot frowned slightly.
"Fenris's beard is on top. I don't like this ghost place at all. It reminds me of the ice cave at the foot of Jotunheim Mountain, with a monster living in it."
"But it seems you don't need help anymore."
More similar creatures appeared from all around, emerging from the cave nests and swooping down from the heights with flapping mandibles.
"I wish the old wolf were here and his lightning could help."
"Where's the general?"
But Lancelot discovered someone else.
The flames ignited many sandworms, and they screamed and fell to the ground and were burned to death. The rest of the sandworms were also frightened away by the flames and fled back to their caves in panic.
Lancelot said.
"No need for him."
"Yeta? Political Commissar Yarek?"
"they are?"
But it was too late for him to shout. An Imperial Army corporal was captured, and his screams echoed in the dark cave.
"Are we going from here?"
Lancelot stopped and looked at the densely packed sandworms around him. They almost filled every inch of the visual space as they flew.
"We had reinforcements that time."
They are social creatures, and this is their nest. No wonder Ragnar has a bad premonition about this place.
Machine cannons hit the surrounding area, crushing many sandworms.
"How are we going to get there? The meeting point is on the other side, right?"
"He's right in front."
Lancelot and Ragnar followed. A cave crossed the cave at the foot of the mountain. The hot wind blowing from a distant place showed that it did have an exit.
Ragnar said somewhat boastfully, as if they were not in a cave full of monsters, but in a tavern and won a bet.
Lancelot turned around and slashed with his sword to cut off something that jumped down from the side. It was a creature with four insect wings. It was all white and had six honeycomb-shaped eyes.
Yetta explained.
"We saw your Valkyrie fall and rushed over. I guess you need help."
Ragnar said as he slashed around with his ax and helped an Imperial Army private get rid of the sandworms that jumped on him.
There were charred wrecks everywhere, and the sand was burned into pieces of glass, raising tiny waves on the earth like ocean waves.
The sandworm jumped up from the ground and pounced on Lancelot's back. The latter turned around and saw Ragnar coming up and chopping it to pieces with an axe.
Lancelot said.
As Ragnar spoke, he cut off the last piece of rolled steel, and a passage leading to the foot of the mountain was cleared. The two of them came to the foot of the mountain and looked up at the peaks above their heads.
"I told you this looks like the caves of Jotunheim, right?"
All crises were resolved. After the sandworms left, the Imperial Army and Skitarii stood up again from the tanks, while Lancelot looked at the approaching reinforcements.
Lancelot shattered a falling creature with one shot, and his mind instantly remembered their name, sandworms. Omega had mentioned them during the tactical briefing.
"Friends, I guess so, they are here to help."
Lancelot gave the order, and the tank behind him rumbled as a pioneer. The Dune Walker walked over Lancelot's head. Its powerful main gun had no room to display here. One shot would collapse the entire cave.
So only the self-defense firepower at the top is unleashing the wrath of the Ohm Messiah.
But the same cannot be said for the other people behind you, let alone the tanks and walking mechas they bring with them. These must be safely brought to the meeting point.
Ragnar asked in confusion if he suggested trying to climb over, but Lancelot refused, they might be able to climb over, they were Astartes.
"We have it this time too."
After a while, people from the Imperial Army came over and saluted the two of them.
He pointed at the strangers behind Ye Ta. They were all tightly wrapped, with only a pair of eyes exposed. In addition, everyone was carrying a long gun, and the flames came from the slender barrel of one of them.
of.
The power ax in Ragnar's hand releases a high-temperature flame. It is different from Lancelot's sword, which is monotonous but reliable. Fenris' ax has richer decorations. In addition to the golden wolf on the ax, there are also connected to the back.
There are two flame tubes, which heat the ax blade.
But the sandworms rushed up and pulled down the skitarii who were operating self-defense firepower. They picked it up and took it away. The machine guns that lost their shooters also swept through the cave at the top, falling and blocking the way with large rocks.
The path for dune walkers.
The two parties did not exchange any pleasantries, and quickly passed through the cave and left. The dune walkers walked outside the cave, and Lancelot stood on the hillside and looked down at the landing point.
They fell from the tanks and captured many people. Their screams came from the dark caves. Only the Skitarii were spared from such pain. Steel is stronger than flesh.
Lancelot immediately ordered his men to start looking for a way out.
"Do you remember the Battle of Balk? The time we fought against the Tyranids forty years ago? We were also in a cave like this, fighting God knows how many bugs."
The soldiers of the Imperial Army moved closer to the tank. They fired fiercely with their backs against the armor. The fire of laser guns and solid ammunition illuminated the entire cave, making the sandworms even more terrifying when they passed by.
"It came just in time."
"Everyone is ready to break through and leave."
Ragnar frowned and said.
Ragnar smiled and rushed out. His ax hit several sandworms in the air, and their bodies fell into pieces in the team.
"You are as wise as ever."
Lancelot saw with his own eyes that many of the captured Skitarii escaped intact, leaving the grotto and returning to the team. The sandworms only left a few small scratches on their bodies.
"Hello, Lancelot, I hope we arrive in time."
"And we have no choice, we have to get to the rendezvous point."
The blazing heat of the power ax instantly melted through its frame.
The visitor was none other than the one-eyed Jarek, and his iconic body had already made Lancelot recognize him even before he appeared in the light.
Lancelot said angrily, and shot the sandworm that fell from above to pieces. After its body exploded, green liquid sprayed all over Lancelot's face.
Lancelot observed the surrounding cave spaces vigilantly. They looked extremely complicated, with a large number of cavities, weathered rock walls, and huge grottoes like spider webs.
So the entire team began to pass through the cave, with Lancelot and Ragnar leading the way, and the two Astartes standing side by side holding power swords and axes at the head of the team.
"Go and find out if there are any other roads nearby."
Ragnar said with a heroic smile as he put the ax on his shoulder.
"No, Lancelot, bring all your tanks, they will use them soon."
Vito smiled and said towards the hillside. He was standing on a paralyzed green tank, and behind him a huge landing ship landed from the lightning clouds. It was suspended dozens of meters above the ground.
After stopping, the belly hatch opened and a Knight Titan crashed to the ground.
It fell behind Vito and threw up a large piece of broken glass. The knight stood up slowly. Behind Vito stood a chain saw with its right arm raised. Two knights also fell behind it. They stood on the victor's back.
Hold behind you.
The latter stood in front of the Knight Titans, with his windbreaker flying in the wind.
