Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 726 07.725: "The Tide of the Living Dead (asking for a monthly ticket!)"

"Here they come!" Horatio checked the amount of ammunition in the Navy Bolter pistol's revolver for the last time, and skillfully fiddled with the gun with his hands to ensure that every bullet was loaded into place.

Sister Arabella pressed against Horatio's broad, strong back, and they each stared in one direction.

She gripped the bolter tightly in her silver-armored hands and pulled the bolt sharply.

A golden light flashed, and she confirmed that a shiny golden bullet was ready in the receiver. Then she let go, and the bolt reset with a crisp "click" sound, like a ringing bell, which was particularly pleasant in the dead silence of the tomb.

The Krieg soldiers moved quickly, splitting neatly into two groups.

One group held the Lucius laser guns, adjusted the power to standard mode, and prepared to suppress the enemy with a faster firing rate; the other group switched to high-power mode for storing energy, waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Normally, a standard-power laser beam can effectively prevent the enemy from approaching and create a safe output environment for high-power shooting. The two groups of soldiers cooperate with each other to create a blocking line for the rear deployment.

Gada gada gada.

The heavy, scratching sound of crawling echoed in the tomb.

Horatio stood on the edge of a bottomless cliff and looked down. He saw a layer of strange green mist below, which looked even more eerie and terrifying under the green light.

At this time, a group of skinners wearing human skins were climbing up the cliff.

They noticed movement above them and raised their heads, staring at Horatio with empty eyes.

The movements of these skinners are twisted and weird, like a group of soulless puppets.

"Tearing off the skin and sticking it on your face won't make you alive." Horatio said to the flayer who was staring at him from below.

He showed no fear in the face of this group of terrifying mechanical skeletons, and the eyes that looked at him were empty, without a trace of life.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang".
.
The 455-caliber bolt bullet instantly penetrated the skin and hard skull of the flayer.

The Skinner let out a sharp, piercing, and hoarse scream, his body leaned back, fell into the endless abyss, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

"Aw!!" Countless skinners made strange noises and increased their climbing speed.

Their claws were hard and sharp, and the memory metal easily pierced into the cracks in the steep stone walls. The figures covered in human skin climbed with agility and power.

Upon seeing this, the Battle Sisters and Krieg soldiers quickly rushed to the surrounding cliffs, raised their weapons, and fired fiercely at the Flayers below.

Laser beams and explosive bullets intertwined to form a firepower network, flashing deadly lights and fires of different styles in the gloomy green light.

hum!hum!
Horatio wielded the long Holy Blood Chainsword, and every swing brought up a gust of wind, blowing away the cold mist that tried to linger around him.

When the chainsaw sword came into contact with the skinner's body, there was a teeth-grinding metal tearing sound. Blow after blow, the skinners who tried to climb up were knocked out like bowling pins and fell heavily into the abyss.

"Rear column! Form a battle formation! Set up a fire network! Alternate firing! Fire blockade! Create a forward corridor for us!" Horatio turned around and gave orders to the rear column while preparing for battle.

Just as he finished his words, while the Krieg soldier on the far right who was shooting downwards was replacing the battery pack of Lucius's laser gun, the three Flayers used the power of their companions' backs and soared into the air like several black lightning bolts.

Before the Krieg soldiers could react, there was a flash of cold light, and the sharp claw blades cut through the air, and several soldiers fell to the ground with a thud.

Warm blood gushed out from the wound, flowing along the grooves of the stone bricks, and finally disappeared into the bottomless abyss.

"Watch out to the right! Sisters! Fight off these filthy aliens!" Sister Arabella responded quickly, raised her bolter, and fired fiercely at the area that was about to be breached.

Her helmet eyepiece automatically marked the trajectory of the bolt bullet, allowing her to accurately hit the target without the need for precise aiming.

When Sister Arabella fired her bolter to the right, danger came unexpectedly.

A few cunning skinners had already hidden in the corners, avoiding the gun line and sneaking up.

At this moment, they were attacking from Sister Arabella's left side.

"Sister Arabella beware!"

Upon seeing this, a pure angel quickly turned around and aimed at the group of ambushers.

However, the angle of the demons' charge was very tricky, and Sister Arabella's waist blocked the friendly fire, making the bolt gun ineffective. "No! I can't hit it!" A clean angel said with despair, and her pre-aiming point could not stay on the target for more than half a second.

Sister Arabella reacted quickly, wielding her Silver Assault Chainsword with one hand, trying to block the incoming Flayer.

However, these flayers are extremely fast and attack from three different directions simultaneously, making them difficult to defend against.

Even with the reaction speed of an Astartes, it would probably be difficult to resist.

At this critical moment, Sister Arabella clearly saw the bloody blade approaching her neck.

The sharp blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

hum! !

A sharp buzzing sound was heard, and a Holy Blood Chain Saw Sword appeared like a golden-red lightning, coming later but arriving first.

There was a faint golden light flashing in Horatio's eyes. He stretched out his hand in the air and accurately grabbed the head of a skinner.

boom!
He swung the Skinner in his hand with force and smashed it towards another of its kind that flew into the air.

The two flayers collided in the air with a dull thud, then rolled together and fell into the abyss.

At the same time, Horatio deftly turned the chainsword in his right hand.

Wow!

The third flayer was cut in half in an instant, and the sharp claw knife scraped across the top of Sister Arabella's helmet, leaving a deep scratch.

In just a few seconds, Horatio successfully eliminated these ferocious Necron Flayers with the amazing reaction ability after his body evolved.

He himself couldn't tell exactly how fast his reaction speed was now, or how it compared to Astartes.

What can be confirmed is that his body has been strengthened in some way. As for the degree of strengthening, I am afraid I will only know it after finding Lati.

"Thank you!"

Sister Arabella bowed her hands in gratitude to Horatio, then raised her foot and kicked down a flayer that had just climbed out of the abyss in front of her.

"We can't stay here too long. We can't kill all these aliens!" Horatio exclaimed in shock.

There are simply too many flayers.

As Horatio fought, he observed his surroundings and pondered in his mind.

The undead in these destroyed dormant coffins are probably infected by the "Landugol Virus" and assimilated into Skinners. It is estimated that there are quite a few of them.

Such a huge number cannot be easily resisted by the troops currently entering the tomb hall. Unless they call for reinforcements from the rear, they will end up like these Chaos traitors.

Horatio quickly analyzed the battlefield from a bird's eye view. In his field of vision alone, there were at least hundreds of Flayers. The shadows looming in the abyss indicated an even more terrifying number.

Although there were a large number of soldiers on standby behind him, they were unable to deploy effective combat forces in the tomb with its complex terrain and closed environment.

Even if a large number of troops were deployed into this tomb hall.

It was difficult for the soldiers in the back row to cross the front row and hit the flayers who were hunched over and moving flexibly.

If the Flayers get close enough, the mortal troops will suffer heavy casualties.

He could not allow his soldiers to suffer serious losses in this dark tomb before the underground offensive was fully launched.

The choice is to withdraw, finish this battle and then come down to find someone.

Or should we continue to go deeper, find Thei and Lati, and evacuate with them and the research results?
A difficult decision was placed before Horatio.
