Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 749 07.748: "Duel above and below ground"

"Aim at these running dogs of the Corpse King! For the eternal and indelible truth! Fire!!" With the rebellious artillery commander's hoarse roar, the entire battlefield was instantly ignited.

Bang! The earthshaker on the high tower of the hive city suddenly raised its head like a giant beast that had been dormant for a long time.

They were in a high position, aiming at the slowly approaching armored vehicle using the artillery table that had been calculated long ago. The black muzzle of the gun looked like a vicious eye.

Then the fire illuminated the barrel.

One shell after another hit the roof of the car like a meteor, with a whistling sound.

A Gorgon assault vehicle traveling in a relatively forward position was unfortunately accurately hit by a shell falling from the sky.

The wind cap of the high-explosive bomb easily penetrated the thin waterproof roof of the car, and the bomb body exploded inside.

In fact, the Gorgon armored assault vehicle was not equipped with armor on the top when it left the factory.

Normally, only engineers would selectively install a waterproof shed on top of the shell or weld a thin layer of armor on it according to the actual situation on the battlefield. This kind of protection, which is better than nothing, is not even enough to trigger the artillery shell fuse.

Boom!

Flames instantly shot up into the sky from the assault vehicle, and an orange-red fireball expanded from the vehicle, turning it into a hell train.

In the tenth of a second after the explosion, shrapnel and shock waves created a dense blood mist, broken limbs flew everywhere, and the steel walls inside the car were covered with human organs and flesh, and then all of this was licked away by the scorching flames that followed.

Five fully loaded squads, a total of 50 soldiers, were all wiped out in an instant.

However, the other assault vehicles did not stop because of this sudden and fierce attack.

Any hesitation at this time means one step closer to death.

The muddy tracks continued to roll forward, making a dull and powerful sound.

The long-barreled heavy-duty lumbering rifles with twin turrets mounted on the superstructure at the rear of the vehicle spewed out angry flames and launched a fierce suppressive fire at the various densely packed firepower points high up in the hive.

For the Leman Russ tanks, these targets were already beyond their maximum elevation angle.

According to the battle plan, they were escorted here, and after clearing out the remaining rebels in the trenches, they would launch an attack towards the city gate.

But the top staff of Krieg's Death Corps had already formulated corresponding countermeasures for this situation.

The Hydra anti-aircraft guns quickly replaced the Leman Russ tanks and took on the task of suppressing the commanding heights.

The quadruple rapid-fire cannon swung out dazzling whips of fire, lashing at the towering city walls.

Faced with this powerful firepower, the rebels were ruthlessly suppressed, and those who dared to take chances were beaten to pieces.

As the shells landed closer and closer, Farida's calmness was gradually replaced by tension.

This tension stemmed from her complex emotions. On the one hand, the enemy's artillery resistance became increasingly fierce. She and Louise could clearly hear the whistling of shells around the armored personnel carrier, as well as the dull thud of shrapnel hitting the armored plates after the explosion.

On the other hand, her lover, the father of her child, has not been heard from since he entered the dark and boundless underground, and his life or death is unknown.

Perhaps sensing Farida's worry, Louise reached out her hand and gently pressed it on Farida's golden shoulder board. She said with a firm look, "Cheer up, he will be fine. He is a rising legendary star. The Emperor is watching him and us."

Farida looked into Louise's eyes that were like purple gemstones, took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and bit the copper whistle again.

Click, click, click, empty!
The Gorgon armored personnel carrier slowly reached the collapsed part of the city wall, and the springboard slowly unfolded with a mechanical sound.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A sharp and long whistle sounded, and thousands of Krieg soldiers, like a surging tide, poured out from the front ramp of the Gorgon assault vehicle that had arrived at the designated location.

However, the enemy's firepower points hidden in the spires of tall buildings and ruins also began to fire frantically at this time.

As soon as the ramps of some assault vehicles were opened, they were crossfired by the firepower points that had been aimed at them. The roars of the felling guns and heavy bolts intertwined, creating waves of blood mist. The soldiers in the vehicles were mercilessly shot down like rice before they even had time to take a step.

The blood quickly gathered into a river, flowing along the gray and black pedals and onto the black earth.

Seeing that everyone in the car was killed, the commander helplessly operated the pedal to slowly retract it.

The bodies of those who fell on the pedals as soon as they took a step rolled back into the car as the pedals were slowly retracted.

Then, with the roar of the engine, the Gorgon assault vehicle, carrying a vehicle full of corpses, began to slowly back up.

Such scenes are common in war.

The Gorgon armored personnel carrier always faithfully performs its duties, drives out and drives back.

However, because the vehicle itself was difficult to destroy and the soldiers inside were often killed, the Gorgon also had another sad name - "corpse cart".

Fortunately, the Imperial Army was large enough to launch a general offensive from all directions, which was almost the entire strength of Krieg's siege army.

The General Staff made a bold decision and went all in!
"No matter how many casualties we suffer today, as long as we can win the battle quickly, one million soldiers killed in a day is far better than three million soldiers killed in 10 days." General Blücher made a firm decision with a determined look.

Under the cover of artillery fire and tanks, the springboards of most vehicles were successfully lowered.

Farida and Louise bent their waists and rushed out of the Gorgon nimbly amid the hail of bullets.

A shell exploded not far ahead, and the two men took advantage of the smoke and successfully rushed behind a slowly moving Leman Russ tank.

The tank's sturdy armor blocked the flying shrapnel for them.

"Go! Watch the right! (Sound of artillery shells whistling and exploding) Fill the gap!" Louise screamed at the top of her lungs, commanding the soldiers to move forward.

"Grenadier Company!! Grenadier Company!" Farida waved the power sword and shouted loudly: "Follow me! Charge up the collapsed city wall slope! Capturing the city gate is just around the corner! We will take the honor of being the first to climb the ladder!" As she spoke, she snatched the flag of the 1314th Infantry Regiment from the flag bearer and waved it vigorously.

Seeing how brave the military inspector was, the grenadiers of the Death Corps quickly gathered towards the regimental flag, equipped with close-range assault weapons.

An assault spearhead was quickly assembled. Led by two female officers from the Imperial Navy, they would launch an attack on the top of the traitor's city gate.
-
Underground cemetery.

The impact of the explosion shook Ukani's hand, causing the ray in his hand to shake. This momentary flaw gave Horatio a perfect opportunity to counterattack.

Activate: Wrath of Sanguinius

At this moment, the girls' prayers and blessings climbed to the top with potential energy.

"I don't have time to play this boring game with you!" Horatio's eyes were burning with surging golden flames, like two burning suns: "I will lead my regiment to attack on time! I promised my soldiers that I would take back our regimental flag for them!"

"What...!" Before Ukani could react, Horatio rushed towards him like a golden lightning. In mid-air, Horatio left a golden shadow, and the next second, he appeared in front of Ukani with anger.

Horatio's iron hand was clenched into a fist, and hot steam was spewing from his fist, like a volcano about to erupt.

Bang! This punch contained a force that could destroy the heavens and the earth, and it hit Ukani's jaw steadily. Under this punch, the tall and strong figure instantly turned into a shadow, and flew straight out like a cannonball fired from a cannon.

Horatio quickly chased after him, relying on the wings behind him.

Bang! Wukani hit the solid rock hard, and a funnel-shaped groove about half a meter deep was smashed into the solid rock.

"What... cough!" Wukani spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of surprise. He felt as if the nerves in his jaw were independent, and he felt as if something was hanging dangling under his face. The pain made it almost impossible for him to think.

Before he could recover from the sudden blow, Horatio had already rushed over with his sword in hand. The high-speed spinning chainsaw sword came whistling with the sound of wind, and swung down fiercely towards his forehead!
