Chapter 2769 (￣︶￣) Curiosity killed meow

The two-hour march seemed like a long and never-ending torture.

Fortunately, the three hundred marines led by Colonel Dutch finally succeeded in getting rid of the subspace demons and chaos monsters after going through a long, fierce and difficult breakout battle.

After being chased and intercepted, they arrived awkwardly but firmly at the destination of their mission: a hall of some kind of facility located underground in the ruined city.

At this time, the CMC armored power suits of almost all of them were covered with dust, blood and other dirt. The faces of men and women, young and old, in each mask were also full of exhaustion and fatigue.

The luck of surviving the disaster.

Because, miraculously, they didn't lose anyone during their charge here?

Yes, they did arrive here unscathed.

Of course!

Although there is no reduction in personnel, injuries are definitely inevitable, and there are more than one!

But fortunately, there are two medics in their team, so now the wounded have been handed over to the medics. If the problem is not serious, they will be able to return to the battle soon.

After all, the battlefield medical capabilities and technology in the sector are still very strong. Although those medical soldiers are far less professional than medical transport ships, with the blessing of the CMC armor on each soldier, as long as no one dies on the spot, even that

For a seriously injured person, after emergency treatment to stop the bleeding and two or three injections of adrenaline and other special stimulants, there will be no problem in continuing to fight vigorously for a few hours.

As for how many hours later...

That's not really that important. Anyway, there's a high probability that he won't die by then. Maybe he just needs to be weak for a while at most, or just lie down for a few days?

However, whether it is necessary to take hormones and force the wounded to join the battle is something that commanders and medical soldiers need to consider. Now, when a group of Marines step into the hall of the huge underground facility one after another

At that moment, the sight in front of them shocked them:

At this moment, their little head of state Anne was sitting in the center of the hall, making her red and white undisguised figure look slightly alone, because she was just sitting on a dead demon.

On the armor of the corpse, her legs were dangling boredly, her hands were holding her cheeks listlessly, as if she had been waiting for a long time, and she looked bored and resentful?

Around her, looking at the entire hall, there were corpses of various subspace demons and chaos monsters lying in random directions. None of them were complete, and a rough calculation of the number showed that there were at least

thousand!

There is no doubt that judging from the only 'living' creature they saw at the scene when they came in, those demons were obviously killed by their leader Anne with that thunderous method, which did not surprise them too much.

What surprised them the most was something else in this underground hall.

For example, on the floor of the entire hall at this time, I don’t know whether those huge and weird lines were carved or brushed on by other methods?

Those lines not only look intricate and complex, like twisted and pulsating blood vessels, exuding an evil aura, but they also have some mysterious fluctuations and special rhythms, and they also spread towards the direction in a certain regularity.

How far outside and deeper this underground facility will be, and how large it will be, is temporarily unknown.

Anyway, as the commander, Colonel Dutch knew that it must be some kind of evil magic circle of the subspace demons, because he had seen it more than once on this canopy star!

However, he had never seen such a huge and evil formation that covered almost the entire underground facility, and he never knew that there was such a thing hidden under the ruins of the city.

"quick!"

However, now was not the time for him to think deeply, so after he led people to rush into the hall and saw the scene in the hall clearly, and knew that there was only one entrance here, he quickly turned around and ordered to an officer

road:

"Eighth company commander!"

"You arrange manpower to organize a defense line and be sure to guard the entrance to this hall!"

"Carry the wounded over there!"

"Don't touch those things on the ground!"

Then, after ordering the soldiers to set up defenses, guard the entrance to the hall, and do a good job of arranging the wounded, he quickly walked to the center of the hall where the miserable Head of State Anne was still dangling her little feet in boredom.

in front of.

"Report to the Führer!"

"Our unit had 312 people when we set off, but now we have 312 people!"

"Please advise!"

Then, he loudly reported the situation of his troops and asked for further orders.

"Uh-huh!"

()

"As long as you're here, I almost fell asleep waiting just now!"

╭(′▽`)╯

Anne looked at them, a trace of tiredness flashed in her eyes.

Because she had been waiting here for a long time, probably at least more than an hour, so she was not polite, but after thinking about it, she supported the body of the unlucky big demon and jumped down before leaning back.

She turned her head towards a very tall guy and gave her order:

"They want to activate this sacrificial magic circle in reverse. You should quickly send someone to collect the heads and blood of those demons, and then rearrange them according to their requirements later!"

(˙ε˙)

"Hurry up!"

(▽)

"Because it may take a long time to complete, so the amount of work is quite large!"

()

Anne did not explain why she reverse-activated the sacrificial formation of the subspace demons, nor did she explain the main function of that formation. She just urged the other party to do what she said.

"yes!"

"The head of state..."

Although he took the order immediately, Colonel Dutch still showed a puzzled expression on his face, as if he wanted to ask more questions.

boom--!

Da da da!

Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!

"!!"

However, at this moment, the subspace demons outside seemed to be following and launching a new attack. The deafening roar, gunfire, the demons' roars, whimpering, and the shouts of the Marines

The sounds of fighting intertwined in an instant, forcing him to stop his thoughts and turn his attention to look in the direction of the entrance.

fortunately!

At this time, the eighth company commander had already led his team to guard the entrance, and relied on the temporary fortifications and terrain advantages to fight bloody battles with the subspace demons who wanted to rush in. It seemed that there would be no problem for the time being.

"you!"

"Go and do the work immediately as the head of state just said!"

"You must strictly follow the orders of the head of state!"

"And you!"

"Come with me this way!"

Therefore, Colonel Dutch had to make a quick decision. While arranging the personnel to arrange according to the order given by Chief Anne, he led the remaining people to run towards the entrance of the hall, preparing to wait for an opportunity to help the eighth company commander consolidate the defense.

Soon, with the addition of Colonel Dutch, the fierce battle at the entrance of the hall became more intense.

Amidst the flying artillery fire and the flickering muzzle fire, the dozen or so men led by Colonel Dutch, wearing enhanced CMC armor and holding heavy battle axes, rushed to the front line of defense, brazenly fighting against those who tried to

The strong subspace demons who rushed into the hall started a desperate close combat.

In the second line of defense further inside the entrance, there are twenty or thirty marines holding spike rifles or machine guns standing in a circle and waiting to attack the demons who have rushed through the first line of defense.

Accurate bursts of fire and attacks, so that those demons who were lucky enough to rush in could only fall to the gunpoint in vain.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

After seeing that the defense line at the entrance was safe, the dozens of Marines who were named also hurriedly took action and worked busily directly under the command of their leader Anne.

Although they didn't know why they did it, they still followed the request of Head of State Anne and cut off the heads of the demons, then collected the blood and placed the opponent's body, head and blood in specific positions.

"Hurry up!"

(_)

"Clean up everything here first!"

()

"Don't be lazy, or they'll spank you!"

(,,,,)

"besides!"

(˙o˙)

"Don't pay attention to those lines, don't step on them, and don't deliberately destroy them!"

(*д*)

Anne didn't do anything during the whole process. She just stood aside and gave orders loudly. She just asked the dull Marines to start moving the corpses and gave some instructions, and then she didn't forget to fight towards the entrance.

The guys scolded:

"Those idiots at the entrance, don't drop bombs!"

()

"It was damaged by the explosion, but it needs to be repainted!"

(﹏)

"The entrance is so big, how can you still drop bombs in such a small place with so many people guarding it?"

(^)

"Why don't you just blow it up?"

(`^)

After all, the entrance is so big that it can only allow at most three or four demons and chaos monsters to pass through at the same time. Two rows of axemen who take turns to defend it can probably be defended, but those guys have deployed two lines of defense there.

, and kept throwing bombs into the passage, which made her really unable to stand it anymore.

Da da da!

Da da!

Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!

Maybe the reprimand from their own head of state had an effect, or maybe the Marines also discovered that the demons' offensive was really not that good, so they actually stopped dropping bombs and just stood at the entrance, hacking and killing.

Fire up.

'Roar--!'

'Ouch - ugh -!'

Da da!

Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!

As the demons fell one after another, the subspace demons from outside continued to pour in and launch more violent attacks, accompanied by deafening gunfire, the roar of demons, and the shouts of marines,

The chaotic footsteps, the smoke and the smell of blood also began to interweave in this already closed hall, making the air that could not circulate become more and more turbid.

But for the CMC armor suit with three-defense capabilities, air is not important, and the same goes for the subspace demons!

'Roar--!'

'Ouch - ugh -!'

Therefore, even though countless similar creatures were chopped down and beaten to death, they still came like a tide, hitting the entrance of the hall one after another, with a relentless attitude.

"Hold!"

"The second team comes to me!"

"The first team rotates down!"

In this regard, Colonel Dutch led his elite marines who were good at close combat to copy tomahawks and take turns to resist bravely, just at the narrow entrance with those who could only bite the bullet because they could not use it.

The demons who rushed forward and were only at an absolute numerical disadvantage within the unit area launched a desperate fight.

Of course, maybe it would be more appropriate to call it a massacre?

Da da da!

'Roar--!'

Da da!

'Ouch - ugh -!'

'Roar--!'

Da da!

Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!

that's all!

Although the total number of demons was large and their power was very powerful, the Marines gradually gained the upper hand and began to defeat the demons time and time again by relying on their advantageous terrain, firm belief and excellent combat skills.

Kill or repel.

So, in the melee, time passed by minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed. Although the demons' attack lasted for more than an hour, they were completely unable to rush into the small gap. Instead, they were easily controlled by the Marines who were constantly changing defenses.

, the corpses almost blocked the entrance, making their attack even more difficult.

On the other side, a certain miserable Head of State Anne and the Marines who were transporting and disposing of the demon's body were still busy nervously.

Following the instructions of a hands-off head of state, they continued to collect the heads and blood of demons, and then began to modify some subtle aspects of the magic circle.

"Team 4!"

"Change defense!"

"Replace the gunner!"

"The others rest where they are!"

As the battle progressed, as the physical strength and ammunition of the Marines at the front were gradually exhausted, new members soon took their places, making the defense line generally relatively strong.

It's stable and nothing will happen for the time being.

finally!

After another ten minutes, under the tenacious resistance and joint efforts of Colonel Dutch and those heroic marines, the subspace demons were finally successfully repulsed again, and then were killed by the corpses of the demons as they passed through the passage.

Seriously clogged, they finally retreated without launching another tidal offensive, and the hall finally gradually returned to calm. Only the Marines who were still busy dealing with the demon corpses were still there.

Continue walking back and forth.

Judging from their situation, it seems like they won’t be able to complete it in a short time?

And in fact, that is indeed true, because, modifying that weird magic circle cannot be modified and prepared in a short time. It is a big project, even with the guidance of a certain terrible little head of state.

also the same!

Not to mention that the Marines don't know much about things involving magic and runes, and they often make mistakes and need to make minor corrections under the guidance of a certain head of state. Therefore, the progress will definitely not be fast.

.

"Report!"

At this time, Colonel Dutch walked up to Anne again, saluted with the smell of blood and loudly reported:

"The Führer!"

"The enemy has been repulsed and the hall is temporarily safe."

As he said that, he did not forget to look around, and then found that the hall was still in a mess, and the Marines who were so busy that they frequently made mistakes seemed not to have really gotten started with their new jobs?

"Um!"

()

"People know it!"

(_)

Anne didn't even look at the other person, but nodded noncommittally, without much change in the expression on her face.

"..."

"Führer, can you ask me a question..."

"What's the use of this thing?"

After a long time, seeing the soldiers still busy and looking at the weird formation pattern, Colonel Dutch thought for a while and finally couldn't help but ask.

“It’s of great use!”

(￣^￣)

"It is a good thing that can allow you to avoid the Horus fleet, as well as the attack of the Emperor's fleet of Terra, and it will also give you a lot of development time!"

(゜▽^*)

"Anyway, you'll know when it's finished!"

(-)

Anne didn't explain much, she just winked at the other party playfully and said this.

"I see!"

Hearing that this was the case, Colonel Dutch was surprised and nodded in understanding.

"That……"

"Then I will go and arrange the defense first. If you have anything else to do, please feel free to ask me, Head of State!"

With that said, he simply stopped asking further questions and just bowed and turned around and walked away, intending to first express condolences to the wounded and then set up defenses.

Because he really doesn't understand those things, even if the head of state explains it in detail, he probably won't understand it. Therefore, it is better for him to focus on what he is good at.

After all, he could see that the project the head of state was going to carry out was very large and might take a day or two, so the next defense and battle would all depend on them.

As for the ammunition issue, he is not worried!

Because most of them were in close combat just now, their ammunition is relatively sufficient now, and with their own head of state here, there is a high probability that they don’t have to worry about ammunition, just like the last time they performed a mission together.

He just needs to guard the entrance.

…

But at this time, on the ground above this underground facility, somewhere in the ruins of this city, the battle started again.

"quick!"

"attack!"

"Destroy them!!"

A few minutes ago, Fourth Company Commander Sejanus and his three hundred elite Astartes Space Marines arrived here quickly and tried to airdrop into the ruined streets. But who would have thought that just now

When they landed, they seemed to be regarded by a large group of subspace demons as reinforcements for Dutch and others who had attacked that street before?

Then, of course, countless subspace demons rushed toward them angrily. Most of them wanted to cut them into pieces first, and then find a way to attack the underground facility and take back their sacrificial magic circle.

mean.

But the fourth company commander Sejanus and others did not know about this!

"Hold!"

"Don't let them come!"

At this time, they were just anxious and shouting angrily, and Sejanus was just busy directing his Astartes elites to slowly attack and slash forward.

"Damn it!"

"Why so many?"

"How did those guys from Huagai Star rush over?"

However, Fourth Captain Sejanus, who led the three hundred elite Astartes Space Marines under his command and found it difficult to move even an inch under the siege of the incoming warp demons, gradually began to feel a little unbelievable and powerless.

In the chaos, he began to look around anxiously, trying to find a reliable route, but in the end he didn't see any shortcuts that would allow them to rush out easily.

"do not care!"

"go ahead!"

"Wolves of the Shadow Moon, follow me and fight my way out!"

"For the Primarch!"

"For the Emperor!"

"Come on!!!!"

In the end, Sejanus, who found that there was no shortcut, could only shout angrily, and then, with the assistance of several heavy interceptor bombers in the sky, he began to launch a desperate attack in a certain direction.

Because he knew very well that at this moment, they could only get out of the current predicament and open up a way out for himself and his comrades around him by moving forward bravely.

"For the Primarch!"

"For the Emperor!"

"Shadow Moon wolves, kill ah ah ah!!!!"

"Destroy them!"

Following Sejanus's order, the three hundred Astartes Space Marines roared in unison, and then like tigers descending from the mountain, they began to wildly wave chain swords, power axes, power swords and other cold weapons.

At the same time, in conjunction with the bolt gun, he launched a desperate struggle with the massive subspace demons and chaos monsters that gathered in the complex and dilapidated ruined streets of the city.

Da da da!

boom--!

Boom——!Boom——!

Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!

Da da da!

For a moment, flames shot into the sky, the explosions were deafening, and the sound of bolter gunfire continued one after another.

Encouraged by Fourth Captain Sejanus, the figures of the Astartes Space Marines began to speed through the firelight. Even though they were all wearing clumsy power armor, they looked like tin cans, but their

The movements are swift and powerful.

Every swing of their swords and every shot are accurate and deadly!

But those crazy subspace demons and chaos monsters couldn't get close to their battle lines for a while. Countless monsters had their heads blown off under their fierce attacks, or were chopped over and sprayed with bloody winds.

.

"attack!"

"Wolves of the Shadow Moon!"

"do not stop!"

"Continue the attack!!"

At this time, Sejanus was fighting at the forefront of the team's front. He held a huge chain ax in his left hand, and in his right hand was his broad-bladed power sword that shone with thunderous power. Every time he swung it,

It can cut several ferocious demons into two pieces or smash their heads!

In just a few minutes, his face was covered with dust, sweat and vicious demon blood, but he didn't care at all. His eyes were just like those of the Astartes around him and behind him, only flashing with fanaticism.

The light seemed to destroy all those endless demons.

"Don't stop! Keep rushing!"

"kill!"

"Marry in formation!!"

While he was killing like crazy, he did not forget to shout loudly and command, so that the Astartes around him and behind him could continue to maintain that efficient crushing posture, and not let the demons have the slightest chance to take advantage of the situation.

However……

Another half hour passed quickly...

Although each of them is braver and stronger than the other, the subspace demons are like endless. They come like a tide, and one wave of dead ones comes and another wave comes. The kind of high-intensity fighting, even if they are as strong as Aspen

Among the Tate Space Marines, their physical strength gradually began to be exhausted, and then some began to fall down continuously and were overwhelmed by the ferocious demons.

"!!"

"Don't use energy weapons!"

"Use a bolter!"

"And the chainswords in your hands!!!"

At this time, just as the battle entered a fierce stage, when he saw an Astartes using a laser gun being knocked down and torn into pieces by the demons, Sejanus was in dire straits and could not save him.

He can roar with grief and anger and add additional reminders and commands:

"Attack their heads!"

"Cut them off!"

“Chop them!!”

Soon, with his timely shouting, his brothers and subordinates quickly adjusted their posture and firepower, began to abandon energy weapons and attack the heads and hearts of the demons.

But after they changed their method, the effect was immediate, and the demons' offensive suddenly weakened, making them feel a lot more relaxed.

"attack!"

"Get to the front!"

“It’s better to defend there!”

"quick!"

"Rush over!!"

Immediately afterwards, when he saw that there seemed to be a solid building in front that looked good, Sejanus commanded the Astartes warriors under his command to take the opportunity to launch a more violent counterattack, and once again rushed towards it like a tiger descending a mountain.

The demons actually found a way out after killing them one by one.

…

What the fourth company commander Sejanus didn't know was that while they were shouting and fighting fiercely, there were actually three invisible Banshee fighter jets hovering in the sky and silently observing their every move.

As for the group of Viking fighter jets that were originally hovering over the city, they had of course already loaded up their ammunition and returned home. The three Banshee fighter jets seemed to have been specially left behind to keep watch.

"Hello!"

"Sister Lanlan!"

"What are those Terrans doing?"

"Are they here to actively attract the attention of demons to the Führer and the others?"

"So kind?"

Then, after observing carefully for a while, one of the wingmen sent a communication to a certain super ace pilot serving as the captain's aircraft and asked.

And their captain's machine was none other than Gao Lanlan himself!

"I have no idea……"

"They're definitely not here to help anyway!"

Gao Lanlan looked at it for a while and then denied it continuously. He also looked at the Terran escort fighters that were gradually leaving after emptying their ammunition and the remaining Terran escort fighters that were still circling. He didn't know what he was thinking.

"or……"

"Shall we secretly give them a few recoil rockets?"

Suddenly, after circling for a while, the pilot on the other wingman asked eagerly and tentatively.

"good idea!"

After hearing this, another person seemed to think it was feasible.

"forget it!"

"There is a high probability that they will not be able to rush in like this, so let them help the head of state attract the attention of those demons!"

Unfortunately, Gao Lanlan refused.

"So be it!"

"Let's continue to observe. If those Terrans don't get close to the entrance of the underground facility owned by the Führer, we'll leave it alone!"

Then, Gao Lanlan quickly made up his mind and continued to hover high in the area.

"OK!"

"Sister Lanlan, we listen to you!"

The two female pilots naturally did not dare to disobey Gao Lanlan's status as captain and super ace pilot, so they finally compromised and did not dare to have any objections.

"..."

Gao Lanlan stopped talking, and just continued to hover with his wingmen and carefully observed the battle situation below.

At this time, in the underground ruins, the Astartes were still shouting and fighting fiercely with the subspace demons. Although countless demons fell every moment, there were one or two Astartes from time to time.

The special men screamed and were knocked down by the demon and never stood up again.

It can be seen that the situation of those Terrans is not likely to be too good, so Gao Lanlan feels that they only need to continue to observe, and there is no need to waste precious ammunition!

After all, the nearest base is a full two-hour flight away from here. If they run out of ammunition, it will be difficult for them to complete their original mission of warning and response.
