Chapter 364: A Helper in Times of Need
……
The long sword cuts through the body of an alien slave.
The alien, which looked like a tiger evolved into an intelligent creature, was broken into two pieces. Its originally dull eyes glowed at the moment of death.
Those eyes stared at Luther, making him feel scared.
In a trance, Luther seemed to have returned to Caliban, back to the time when he stood in front of the house, raised an iron sword as he watched the beast rushing towards him, and was inflicted with bone-piercing wounds on his body protected by ordinary iron armor amid the screams of his wife and daughter.
A relieved smile appeared on the alien's face, and it spoke to Luther in a language that humans could not understand.
Finally, the slave alien closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep facing the sky in the direction of its mother planet... Luther looked in the direction the alien was facing, but there were only rock layers there, small and empty.
Suddenly, a shell landed not far away and blew up the body of the alien slave, and the shock wave knocked Luther out.
Constantine, who was fighting with Randan's elite warriors, quickly kicked the enemy away and rushed to Luther to block the incoming attack with the Terminator Armor.
Luther, who had not undergone a complete transformation surgery, did not wake up from his dizziness for a long time. He lay on the ground, listening to the shouts in his ears, and looking at the rock formation above his head with a confused face.
Luther waited until he gradually woke up and recalled his battle in the underground cave before he quickly got up.
When he was about to fall, Luther used his sword to steady himself. He glanced at the legionnaires guarding him from both sides and asked the Dreadwing Messenger, "Where are the wild wolves?"
"The Sixth Legion is on the way. Not only them, but all the other legions except the World Eaters underground are also on the way." Constantine responded.
Luther observed the battlefield.
Constantine continued to give orders.
The order Dreadwing received was to deploy defenses in the only passage leading to the underground cave to resist the alien reinforcements rushing here, and then evacuate to the interior of the fortress in an orderly manner after the control of the fortress was seized by friendly forces, and then resist the attack until the World Eaters reached the mining facilities and deployed star destroyer weapons.
But the situation changed. The fortress began to collapse for unknown reasons, making subsequent plans impossible to implement.
Now that Terrorwing is under attack from a massive alien force, the elite warriors of Randan are commanding bizarre alien slaves and fighting with their signature tactics.
Randan's slaves even came before Luther.
"This place is a pit that has been dug and is waiting for us to jump into." Luther looked around the entire underground cave, then lowered his head and looked forward.
Some Space Marines transferred by Constantine were slaughtering alien slaves, and the decapitation troops composed of elite warriors were approaching.
Luther looked back again and saw that most of Dreadwing's men were approaching the collapsed fortress in an orderly manner.
This place could not be defended no matter what, so Luther issued a retreat order, not to seek defensive advantages in the collapsed fortress, but to retreat in order to reduce casualties.
Constantine issued a series of orders and approached Luther, preparing to retreat with him: "So many elite legions will soon seize control... Such a huge fortress, I guess it would be difficult for the Titan Legion to defeat it even if they deployed it, but the aliens did something random and it began to collapse... Damn the aliens!"
Luther had no intention of leaving. He raised his sword and held it upright in front of his chest, and said to Constantine in a deep voice: "The target of those Randan elites is us. We can just stand here and delay them for a while."
Constantine walked up to Luther.
The Space Marines who were still facing the aliens and delaying their retreat had also gathered together.
Luther raised his head and looked around again, and said again: "This place is a pit dug for us to jump into. Among the many fortresses of Randan No. 3, only one is here..."
Constantine interrupted Luther: "If it were you, how would you choose to fight?"
"Choose as the Primarch would," Luther replied.
Constantine glanced back.
"That's why I hate siege warfare. There are some things that clearly show the enemy's ill intentions, but you still have to go along with the enemy's intentions."
The slave army pressed forward again.
Luther gripped his sword tightly.
Suddenly, a soldier on the scene reported to Luther: "The Sixth Legion just sent a message... They will not come here, let us retreat quickly."
Hearing this unpleasant news, Luther asked very calmly: "What about the other legions?"
"They have also started to retreat." The soldier replied.
"The whirlwind torpedoes haven't yet..."
Before Luther could finish his words, someone squeezed into the communication channel.
"It has been deployed. Now I am the only one who needs to detonate it." Qin Xia's voice sounded, "The other legions have already started to withdraw."
"So fast?" Luther was very surprised.
Qin Xia ended the communication.
A snowflake fell from the sky, Luther raised his hand to catch it, then turned and looked behind him.
On the route of the Dark Angels who were retreating towards the fortress, the scene they saw when they came here appeared. It was the psychic portal opened by Qin Xia.
The fleet did not have the ability to send large-scale troops back. Luther realized that those troops were also sent away by Qin Xia, which meant that the deployment of whirlwind torpedoes was indeed stable. This progress was beyond Luther's expectations.
Before the communication with the World Eaters was interrupted, Luther could occasionally hear some news from the World Eaters. He knew that the underground industrial area of the fortress was full of enemies, so he did not expect that the World Eaters could advance so quickly.
At the pre-war meeting, Luther also anticipated that there were the most enemies underground in the fortress, so he understood Ryan's decision to give the task of advancing to the mining facilities to the World Eaters. Because Ryan knew about the reorganization of the World Eaters Legion, he knew at a glance what tasks the reorganized First Regiment should undertake, so the two most important tasks were given to his own Dreadwing and the World Eaters respectively.
In short, the speed at which the World Eaters advanced was something Luther had not anticipated.
"The portal is open!" a dark angel shouted loudly.
Luther saw that the teleportation channel was also opened at the rear of his side, and the wind and snow blocked the large group of Terrorwings that were returning to the fleet through the previous teleportation channel.
"Retreat." Luther ordered Constantine, "Retreat."
One of the two retreating sounds was emphatic and urging.
Constantine immediately ordered a retreat.
The Space Marines passed by Luther and entered the snowstorm in the transmission channel.
Luther stood there holding the sword. He felt as if he was back on Caliban, but in the period of the Knights Templar. At that time, he was just like he is now, always covering the retreat for his fellow knights at the most critical moments. Even though he might not change anything by doing so, he was still appreciated and respected by the knights for it.
Because of the two previous shouts of "retreat", no Space Marine went to persuade Luther to retreat first.
Constantine was the last one to step into the transmission tunnel.
At this time, the slave army mixed with a large number of elite warriors had approached Luther, and there were no other Space Marines who could intercept those aliens for him.
Luther immediately turned around and ran, but was caught up by Randan's elite warriors when he approached the transmission channel. He had to turn around and use his sword to deflect the blade that was chopping down at an angle.
Realizing that he couldn't outrun the giant, Luther assumed a fighting stance, gripping the sword tightly with both hands, raising the sword above his head with the blade parallel to the bridge of his nose.
He was thinking about finding an opportunity to turn around and run away during the upcoming fight.
Just as Luther stood with sword in hand, ready to fight the alien, a roar came from the transmission channel behind him.
It sounded like the roar of some large machine. The Titan Legion often used this roar as a means of intimidating the enemy. It was like a train whistle. When it was blown, it would make a loud noise that echoed throughout the wilderness, loud and heavy.
Luther raised his head, looking past the sword blade that was higher than his head, and past the tall alien to the top.
Amidst the heavy snow, a large, snow-white war machine stepped out through the snow with heavy steps.
The bright white spiritual energy flowed toward the rear along the graceful structural lines of the war machine, eventually converging into a cloak.
The lancer, who looked like a magnified Titan, was holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, and he slowly and powerfully stepped over Luther's head.
The psychic shock was released when the huge war machine stepped out of the snow. All the aliens approaching Luther were stunned in place. The elite warriors of Randan in front of Luther were stepped on by the slender legs of the war machine in the trance caused by the mental shock.
God Titan.
Luther recognized this war machine. He learned about it from the information communicated between the legions. This was a Titan that belonged exclusively to Qin Xia, the Lord of the White Knights of the 12th Legion.
When the God Titan passed over Luther's head, wind and snow covered the entire battlefield.
That was a supernatural phenomenon caused by Qin Xia's use of psychic power, and the blizzard could only mean that Qin Xia was using his psychic power to manipulate the huge war machine, the God Titan, like a puppet. His psychic power penetrated into every joint of the Titan, driving it in a more direct way.
Luther saw Qin Xia after the God Titan passed over his head and gradually moved away.
Qin Xia stood on the top armor of the Titan with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
His gorgeous armor gleamed brightly under the bright white psychic light, and the cloak behind him fluttered in the wind.
"Leave here." Qin Xia's voice echoed in Luther's mind, "Leave here, Luther."
Luther sheathed his sword, took a gloating look at the aliens who were facing the God Titan, and then slowly retreated into the wind and snow.
The God Titan stopped and slowly raised the spear with his right arm.
The Titan's arm joints moved quickly, driving the spear forward.
Only the arms move and the body does not move.
When the spear seemed to be thrust out lightly, the strong wind created by this weapon exclusive to Titans instantly tore through the line of Randan aliens.
This was the last scene Luther saw, and the next second he was back on the Indomitable Truth.
Qin Xia stood on the Titan's back armor, stood solemnly for a moment, then tentatively turned his head slightly to look behind him, and turned back when he saw that Luther had left.
He didn't want to waste time with these dying aliens.
A strong wind howled from the right, and the blizzard gradually obscured the figures of Qin Xia and the Titan under him.
The God Titan and his master disappeared together.
