Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 546 06.0545: "Rescue 'Nightingale'"

“It’s hostility… ah!”

"what!"

As more lasers came in, the other Guvisas who had just turned around to face the direction of the attack were killed instantly before they could even raise their pulse rifles.

"Nightingale found!" Valina walked over quickly with the Hell Gun in hand, keeping a vigilant posture, kicked the gun that fell to the ground away, and kept aiming around.

"It's time to go, ma'am," Horatio said to her, "I told you that death would never happen today."

Thei wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

"You're not bad either. The beacon has been established. It's time for us to evacuate."

"Three o'clock! Enemy attack!"

boom!
A railgun shot through the wall, blasting a big hole. Horatio protected Thei, and with his amazing reaction speed, he raised his iron hand and punched to smash the large pieces of structural debris that were flying towards him.

The debris scraped against his power armor, scratching off the blue-to-black paint, but did not hurt the girl behind him.

If it weren't for his punch, the boulder would have fallen directly on the unprotected Inquisitor, and she would definitely not have been able to escape today.

Horatio looked toward the dark muzzle of the railgun.

It was a Hammerhead Shark that had just driven out of the armory. The commander judged the surrounding enemy situation from the life signals of friendly forces that suddenly disappeared from the surrounding radars.

Then he reacted immediately by firing a shot at the corridor of the building in front of him.

"Retreat immediately!" He immediately ordered the Hell's Vanguards next to him, and raised his hand and said: "This is the 'Harpoon' squadron, we have received a request from 'Nightingale' to evacuate immediately!"

"Evacuate... Beep!... Request approved. Three Skyraider Valkyrie fighters are ready to depart. They need to break through the atmosphere from low-Earth orbit and are expected to arrive at the evacuation beacon in 30 minutes." The voice of Lina, the intelligence officer and special operations dispatcher, came out from the sound array despite the interference. This was the highest-power radio wave on the warship: "Captain, you have the authority to call for support from all weapons in the armory."

It could barely break through the interference, but its flaws were both obvious and fatal - the Tau people also roughly deciphered from some of the garbled codes that a team was trying to escape here.

The rebels who had just assembled received orders, and hundreds of them urgently changed their orders to check what the empire was doing here.

An evacuation encounter began instantly.

Amidst the hail of bullets, the Harpoon team that received the "Nightingale" rushed to the preset evacuation point at the fastest speed under the guidance of the ground divination radar operator.

"Be careful! It's an enemy vehicle!" A scout shouted, pointing at a magnetic levitation vehicle in the sky that looked like a two-person motorcycle.

Horatio recognized it as a T'au Empire TX4 'Piranha'. Positioned like the Empire's Land Speeder, it was a lightweight hovercraft that was a weapons platform with excellent speed and maneuverability. Using jet thrusters and anti-gravity engines, these lightweight vehicles could more efficiently traverse complex terrain and pursue the enemy.

"Evacuate the cover team and destroy the marked target!" Horatio shouted to his men using short-range communication.

Next to the divination radar operator was a precision shooter, who was lying on a high place with a long-range sniper hell rifle, and he saw the light vehicle with a red outline at a glance.

The ground tactical aurora radar operator used the equipment to lock onto the Piranha, and the parameters were sent to the sniper scope of the precision shooter lying next to it.

With the help of radar index, he quickly locked onto the target.

Jiong!
A beam of red light flew towards the Piranha pilot, but the laser without ballistic delay did not allow the opponents to make any moves.

At the same time as the driver was shot in the head, the Piranha's instrument panel showed a hit warning.

boom!
Without a human pilot at the wheel, artificial intelligence immediately took over the operation of the Piranha.

Trying to adjust flight stabilization.

But this also created an opportunity for Horatio.

He raised the Hell Gun, pointed it at the backseat weapons operator and pulled the trigger, blowing the last man's head off with one shot.

After firing this shot, a large number of pursuing troops behind them also caught up with their movements.

"Run!" The group ran all the way, and Horatio had already seen the beacon's blue signal rising into the sky.

Horatio supported himself on the breastwork with one hand and rolled over to the ruins behind. Several bullets flew past him and almost hit his buttocks.

Around the evacuation point.

"Beacon location, airdrop special weapons and heavy weapons!" Horatio panted heavily, leaning behind a piece of ruins and yelling at the sound array.

The blue trajectories of the pulse guns passed over his head, and the nearest bullet grazed the horsehair on his helmet, burning off a piece of red hair.

"...your request for reinforcements and supplies...has been sent."

In orbit, the weapons airdrop cabin was dragged into the launch port at the bottom of the battleship by a heavy servitor.

Click! Swish!
The moment the blocking position was intervened, the weapon airdrop pod, which was similar to a mini version of the Astartes airdrop pod, instantly disappeared from the launch port.

Boom!Boom!
Several meteors streaked across the sky. They were much faster than the Valkyrie—after all, they could hit the ground directly from low-Earth orbit.

boom!boom!
The weapons drop pod hit the ground, shattering the hardened surface and sinking into the pit.

"You! Take the missile launcher! Climb to the commanding heights on the right side! You two! Be responsible for this laser cannon! Use the first floor of a building to ambush the enemy's heavily armored units!" Valina, with black night city warfare camouflage painted diagonally on her face and wearing a red beret, immediately assigned combat orders to the team members. She also dropped her hell gun and picked up a plasma gun.

All the battle positions were marked by Horatio using a bird's-eye view and compared with the optimal shooting range. After picking up their weapons, the Hell's Vanguards didn't have to think about anything, they just had to crouch down and rush to the designated battle positions.

But this also requires time and cover, and the rebels will not easily let these imperial soldiers seize the high ground.

laugh!
A black shadow leaped into the air, aiming the dual-wielded bolt pistols in his hands at the pursuers on the ground with precise suppressive fire. The moment he appeared in the dim light, the silver armor of Death Watch on one of his hands was clearly visible.

Soon, as the jump bag fell, Brother Korchagin once again hid in the shadows.

With his elusiveness that was difficult to detect even with radar, he became a high-threat target in the eyes of the Tau people.

Hell's Soldier took this opportunity to use the gravity parachute's short-term flying ability to make a short-distance jump.

Although not as high and durable as the Astartes' jump packs, the current urban warfare terrain is enough to help them jump to high places in sections.

"Attention! Enemy armor."

The Hammerhead Shark tank drove over from the avenue, its unmanned turret raised and aimed at the high ground detection bird radar.

"Oh, shit!"

The reconnaissance team immediately stood up and jumped off the platform.

boom!
A railgun blast blew the platform they were on and the ground detection radar into pieces.

If these two elite soldiers who had received special training from Astartes had not chosen to jump from a great height, they would probably have suffered the same fate.

"Captain, we have lost the radar. According to the last information we received, the estimated evacuation time is nine minutes." The scout who jumped from a height of more than ten meters with the help of a gravity parachute landed next to Horatio and reported.

"The Obrada is a conspicuous target, and it is expected that it will be targeted. I'm glad you are not hurt." Horatio also changed the weapon in his hand to a multi-barreled melta gun. His iron hands allowed him to lift such a heavy weapon.

"No, Captain!" Hearing his superior's concern, the scout who was a little upset because he had just lost radar support cheered up again.

"Very good, the situation is not out of control yet. The orbital fleet will provide us with support at all costs. Take the plasma and we will guard this access entrance!"

"As ordered."

boom!
The blue light of the railgun illuminated the streets, and each shot caused great damage to the building structures, almost one shot could destroy all obstacles in the way of the encirclement and suppression troops.

Just when Horatio was worrying about how his light infantry could avoid head-on confrontation with these heavy armored vehicles and instead use the terrain to ambush and gain advantage.

Whoosh! A supersonic whistling sound came from above Horatio's head.
