Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 500 06.0499: "Spread out my wings!"

Archie led the large army and fought bravely, but in front of the cathedral, Horatio's performance was even more heroic.

He wielded the chainsword with his iron hand, and the roaring teeth instantly cut the row of Kroot in front of him in half, like chopping melons and vegetables.

The Whip of the Immaculate Angel is longer than the long-handled war clubs in the hands of these aliens. Originally, they could use the length advantage of their weapons to suppress the long swords in the hands of the nuns and the assault chainswords used by mortals.

But in front of this Holy Blood Chainsaw Sword made to Astartes standards, their war sticks were like small toothpicks and were cut in half by the roar of the steaming and roaring engine motor.

However, these Kroot are only the younger members of the clan.

The Shaper Chieftain had also recovered from the heavy pain of the destruction of the clan ship and saw the situation clearly.

It shouted in a unique and hoarse language, gathered its remnants, and tried to retreat to the deeper cabins to regroup.

It is also surrounded by a group of strong and mature bodyguards, who are armed with a classic Kroot long-barreled pulse rifle with long knives installed on the buttrest and muzzle. Although they can shoot, the design of this weapon is obviously mainly for close combat.

Seeing that the sudden attack by the imperial assault force interrupted the original plan, it turned around and left with the gathered tribesmen without looking back.

Horatio thrust his bolter into a Kroot's mouth, forcing open its twisted, grimacing teeth.

boom!
As he pulled the trigger, its skull was blown to pieces and splattered on the ground.

As Horatio kicked the corpse away and prepared to gather the boarding team and the Hell's Spies for pursuit, he saw Sister Arabella asking him for help out of the corner of his eye.

"Captain! The believers in the cathedral are being slaughtered! We need your help!" She waved her hands and shouted from a high place.

"Captain, I'll take a platoon to give chase." Louise, whose body was covered in orange-yellow sticky blood, had just broken a Kroot's neck in a wrestling fight. She then got up from the ground and ran to Horatio, saying breathlessly.

"No, gather everyone and act together. If we pursue alone, our advantage of being outnumbered will be destroyed, and we may be defeated one by one by the enemy."

Horatio frowned, he knew that he didn't have many people. This cunning alien probably saw through the porthole that there was a small imperial warship outside the docking station and guessed his situation, so he made the decision to retreat.

Horatio could also see the battle situation on Archie's side. They were mainly killing young people holding traditional Kroot war sticks.

"This is the Kroot's way of doing things."

Thei, who was wearing leather riding clothes, holding a power sword in one hand and a small and exquisite revolver defense pistol in the other, explained: "They will perform a 'hunting ceremony'. Through this ceremony, they follow the rule of survival of the fittest and natural selection to screen out the weaker individuals among the young species."

"Just like what is recorded in the lost ancient books, the 'Youth Army' of ancient Rome on Terra."

"You can understand it this way, Captain. Their strong men are the chieftain's personal guards who are armed with human pulse guns. Moreover, the adults have already broken through the nuns' defense line from the flank and are already killing people in the church."

Thei watched Horatio with interest, interested in how he made his decision.

"Assemble the assault troops, leave a platoon behind to protect the corridor side passage, and provide support for the troops coming from the Epic docking station."

"Yes! Captain!"

Suddenly, Brother Korchagin of the Raven Guard appeared behind Horatio without anyone noticing.

"Captain, I will move freely from now on, and will find an opportunity to behead the enemy leader." "I wish you good luck in your military affairs, sir." Horatio nodded to show that he understood Brother Korchagin's wish, and he soon disappeared in the shadow of the huge pilgrimage ship.

"Everyone! Follow me to attack the cathedral and intercept these aliens."

Horatio held high the Holy Blood Chainsaw Sword, like raising a bright red flag, and commandos from all directions gathered under the flag and rushed forward.

When he rushed into the cathedral, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

[God Emperor above!]
The inside is just like the famous painting "Destruction" in ancient Terra.

People were fleeing everywhere, and some fanatics tried to use crutches and daggers to fight the aliens in vain.

The battle sisters stood in front of the believers regardless of their own casualties, roaring and swinging their chainswords to slash at the enemy.

Arabella led a team of pure angels to form a battle line, trying to suppress these ferocious and cannibalistic aliens with firepower.

The Seraphim took off into the air and fired at the aliens with their dual guns, but the Kroot were no pushovers. Some of the elite ones aimed at them with amazing bio-dynamic locking vision - this was a biological evolutionary ability they gained from eating the flesh and blood of the Astartes in previous battles against humans.

Then they raised their pulse rifles and fired bursts of ion beam rain. Several Seraphim flying in the sky were immediately shot down and fell to the ground. The Kroot people who had been waiting for a long time directly ate them on the spot.

The horrible man-eating alien roared at the woman holding the baby, and the remaining blood from biting the dead in its mouth splattered on the torn white clothes.

The woman's eyes were full of despair. She was tripped by her torn robe and fell to the ground. Behind her, the water ghost Krut opened his bloody mouth and pounced on her.

Seeing this scene, Horatio reacted quickly and raised the explosive pistol in his hand and pulled the trigger. A Magnum-caliber explosive arrow was fired from the barrel. After it was fired, the micro-thruster at the bottom started and the jet spun. After 0.2 seconds, the explosive bomb blew up the head of the water ghost that jumped into the air.

The horrible headless corpse fell on the woman, and the orange-yellow alien body fluid that had been spilled before made her scream like a lost soul, until she was dragged to the back by a ceremonial nun holding a book and comforted.

The situation became very bad. I didn't know whether these aliens knew they were going to die today and therefore became feral and vowed to die a gluttonous death, or whether they were trying to provoke the enemy by making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

It was obvious that these Kroot people who broke into the church had no fear of life or death, and were crazily killing the crowd.

This was in stark contrast to the suddenness and panic they experienced when they first boarded the ship.

In this situation, Horatio immediately began to command the entire battle layout, and took over the remaining squad of Holy Rose Battle Sisters as a certified saint, re-allocating the battle line in the chaos using his command hand and bird's-eye view.

"Commando! Go! Hell's Vanguard, suppress the enemy with frontal fire! Louise, lead the team to seize the high ground! Farida, stabilize the front line! Inquisitor Thei, please lead Valina's team to provide support!"

"Yes, Captain."

"Leave it to me, Captain. Guard the front! Any cowardly behavior will be severely judged!"

"No problem, please watch me Captain, I will show you how to fight these xenomorphs."

His "wings" responded one after another and immediately adopted their own local optimal solutions based on their respective experience, responsibilities and available resources.
