Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 105: Nest Attack and Defense

So right.

A classic repertoire, forced conscription in the name of the God-Emperor.

From a centenarian to a ten-year-old child, no matter who you are, as long as you can take a breath, you will be dragged to the battlefield to fill the line.

What? You don't want to?

Very good, the Ministry of Justice will directly declare you a heretic, and then shoot you to death as a canon punishment!
For the Emperor, eliminate heresy!
This is the biggest reason for 'forced conscription', and you don't even have the right to refute it.

Because, being born in the nest as a human being is the greatest gift the Emperor has given you, and now it is your turn, a scum who has made no contribution, to make sporadic contributions to the Emperor.

Even this kind of "dedication" is completely meaningless.

The value of their existence is just to serve as cannon fodder and slow down the invasion of the cult as much as possible.

But it was obvious that the senior planetary defense officer didn't care about their lives at all.

If we can’t resist the cult, we’ll all die!

Instead of doing this, it would be better to preserve the strength of the planetary defense force as much as possible and delay support from the surrounding star fields.

As for how many lives would be lost by forcing a large number of innocent, untrained Sudu civilians into a brutal battlefield, it was not within his consideration.

After the compulsory conscription order was issued, each person received an old basic laser gun and a few cluster grenades. They were not even issued a bulletproof vest. They were forcibly driven into the battlefield in front of them, which was full of artillery fire, smoke, and corpses!

Alvin, who had finally escaped from the cult under the fire of the defense forces, suddenly became a member of the temporary 177th Regiment guarding Sudu. Such a rapid change of identity made him laugh and cry.

From a personal point of view, Alvin certainly doesn't want to be pulled into the role of cannon fodder and die worthlessly on the battlefield, but... he has no choice!
A large number of planetary defense forces in the rear, acting as supervisory teams, have already pointed their guns and even heavy artillery at them. If anyone dares to take a single step back, they will open fire without hesitation!
Or... kill the supervisory team and escape into the middle nest?
However, as soon as this idea came out, Alvin decisively crushed it. Not to mention that doing so would cause the collapse of the planetary defense force's line, but would instead give the cult an opportunity.

Even if they were installed on the edge of Shangchao's city wall, the dozens of heavy defensive artillery would be enough to give him a hard time!

The power of that thing...is no joke!
Just one shot can turn everything within a few hundred meters, including life, into ashes!

Unless you are a Zeta-class or Epsilon-class psychic, it is nothing but a pipe dream to think of confronting the heavy artillery used for air defense head-on. You'd better go to bed as soon as possible.

In comparison, it seems that guarding the hive is safer.

With the biological armor and the cult's weapons, which are basically old logging guns and obsolete laser guns, as long as you are careful, there will be no danger.

"Just follow the arrangements for now..."

Alvin had no better idea, mainly because the supervision team in the rear was watching him closely and leaving him no chance to escape.

I can only wait and see if there is a chance on the battlefield, put on armor and use stealth mode to sneak back... Alvin was thinking in his mind when he was pushed hard by the muzzle of a gun.

Looking back, he saw the bailiff from the Ministry of Justice pointing a bolt gun at him and yelling, "Hurry up, move forward, or I'll shoot!"

Before he knew it, Alvin was surprised to find that he was left at the back of the crowd, so he could only hold the old laser gun and hurried to join the crowd in front.

B-17 position, located on the edge of the middle nest.

The good news is that they are near a destroyed residential building, and the collapsed ruins can be used as cover to resist the cult's lasers and bullets. There are also mixed forces of defense forces, bailiffs, and law enforcement officers forming the defense line.

But the bad news is… they are the first line of defense!
About a thousand people were organized into the temporary 177th Regiment. Under the pressure of the supervision team, they built the first line of defense in front of the defense line of the defense army, facing the overwhelming cult!
"Listen to my orders and hold the guns tightly in your hands!"

The commander of the temporary 177th Regiment drew his bolter, stepped on the corpses of the cultists, and shouted loudly: "For the Emperor, kill all these heretics!!!"

boom!
A shell hit the cult group accurately.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and severed limbs were blown dozens of meters away. Blood mixed with pungent gunpowder rushed into the nose, like the most powerful stimulant, prompting everyone's heart to start thumping wildly, and their eyes gradually turned blood red. That was... the smell of war!

It's the smell of killing!

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god! Skull sacrifice to the skull throne!"

After a round of artillery fire, large areas of houses collapsed, countless blood and body parts were scattered like torrential rain, and corpses piled up into a mountain. At a glance... there were at least thousands of people!
However, even after enduring such a horrific blow, the cult's madman still showed no signs of turning back. He roared with a ferocious face and bloodshot eyes, as if he had completely lost his mind. He gathered into a torrent again and pressed towards the position in a mighty manner!

asphyxia!

terror!
Shocked!

Shocked!

Most of the members of the Provisional 177th Regiment were untrained civilians. Faced with the cult lunatics' reckless charge and the scene of exploding corpses flying everywhere, many of them were frightened to the point of losing their minds and turned around to flee to the rear positions.

bang bang bang...

However, the rapid sound of gunfire made the terrified Provisional 177th Regiment realize the reality again. If they took even half a step back, they would be slaughtered mercilessly by the supervision team!

"For the God Emperor!!!"

The commander of the 177th Regiment gave the order: "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"

Three consecutive roars awakened the people who were dominated by fear. After realizing that there was no way out, everyone could only roar madly and aim their guns at the cult!
All of a sudden, countless lasers shot at the cult lunatic!
But many people were handling weapons for the first time and had no experience at all. Moreover, these old-fashioned laser guns had all kinds of problems, which resulted in the cult not losing too many members.

"hidden!"

The commander of the 177th Regiment was so angry when he saw this scene that his teeth were about to break: "Damn it, you bunch of idiots, aim before you shoot, if you don't want to die, look carefully!"

But it would be difficult for untrained civilians to organize an effective attack in such a short time anyway. It was already very good if they could keep their mentality intact.

The commander of the 177th Regiment was extremely anxious, but he knew very well that these civilians were of no use at all and were simply there to give the tired defense forces a brief rest.

But, right now.

The commander of the 177th Regiment suddenly saw that an orderly attack was organized on a small front position somewhere on the left side of the entire defense line. Not only did it curb the momentum of the cult's charge, but it even wiped out hundreds of cult lunatics with the help of artillery coverage!

Different from the rest of the chaotic positions.

They were obviously under command, divided into groups of three, hiding in the ruins and behind the trenches, forming a perfect cross-fire network.

Moreover, all people were divided into two waves.

After waiting for the previous wave of people to finish shooting, the second line of defense in the rear will immediately take over the front line, continue to maintain superior firepower suppression, and form a perfect rotation wave.

With the advantages of trenches, bunkers, and artillery support from the rear, they inflicted heavy casualties on the cult lunatics that surged up, and on the local defense line, they withstood the pressure of the cult's charge!
Talent!
This discovery made the commander of the 177th Regiment's eyes light up.

What he lacks most now is not cannon fodder to fill the line, but people with command ability who can maximize their value!
"Signalman! Go to that position!"

The commander of the 177th Regiment was full of surprise and pointed in that direction: "Find the person who is in command and tell him... He is now the company commander. Give me unified command of the battle in the front!"
