Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 90 is wrong, very wrong.
During the evacuation, flames suddenly erupted from some corners and attacked the retreating team. Fortunately, Astartes reacted in time and used his boarding shield to block the incoming flames.

However, some mortals who were nearby were still burned; their clothes burned off and stuck to their bodies, turning that area of ​​skin into cooked flesh.

But they dared not stop immediately to put out the flames!
The one spewing flames in that corner was none other than the orc Barbecue Boy. After they finished spewing flames, they saw the mortal auxiliary soldiers whose bodies were on fire and roared with joy in the corner.

They love seeing the expressions on the faces of these human shrimps after they're attacked.

But clearly, these human shrimps disappointed them quite a bit.

Ironhide brought up the rear, covering the others' retreat. Franky, dressed in a Terminator suit, followed beside him, while the other brothers, armed with heavy explosive shotguns, used their superior skills to fire as they retreated.

The mortal auxiliary troops were the first to retreat, and after reaching an open area, they hastily deployed active-triggered booby traps. Then, while they were setting up the traps, the others, armed with guns, provided cover for the Imperial Angels who were retreating to this location.

The relentless, intense firepower caused all the orc lads who tried to charge to perish in the northwest. This rhythmic, dense shooting even forced these Goff clan orc lads to take cover behind cover and take out their rifles to fight back for the first time in their lives.

After all, he collapsed on the road before he could even get up, which is anything but waaagh.

The well-organized counterattack even forced a bunch of shooting buddies and pistol buddies to hide behind cover and blindly fire their rifles.

This left Tie Hui and some of the Astartes completely bewildered. Were these still orcs of the Goff clan?

They even know to look for cover now.

This unWaagh-like behavior caused some of the orc boys to complain, and even their mutual respect decreased.

Meanwhile, the leader at the back, sensing the reduced power of his inner thoughts, raised the enormous pipe in his hand, glared fiercely at the group of boys, and roared, "Waaagh—"

This roar instantly invigorated all the boys on the front lines, and even their declining mental strength increased by more than half!
Immediately afterward, several orc boys carrying numerous cylindrical clubs rushed forward from behind him. Upon reaching the designated location, they pulled out a cylindrical club from behind their backs.

Upon closer inspection, it was a large hand grenade: a broken tube inside a metal box filled with gunpowder. With enough mental power, I could even have blown an Astartes to shreds.

These are a group of grenade boys, orc grenadiers. They are much smarter than other orcs; at least they know that after taking out a grenade and pulling the pin, they should throw the grenade, not the pin in their hand.

A dozen or so young grenades threw their smoking grenades into Tie Hui's lines.

Astartes' vision immediately locked onto the high-powered grenades being thrown at them. Astartes and some of the mortal auxiliary troops behind them began to pre-detonate the grenades.

However, the sheer number of grenades that the grenade-wielding boy kept throwing out made it impossible for Tie Hui and the others to keep an eye on them all.

As the missed grenade fell between them, the resulting explosions created a debris storm between the Astartes.

Fortunately, their power armor protected them from serious, fatal injuries. However, the mortal auxiliary troops who hadn't had time to evacuate suffered greatly.

The explosion of five or six grenade launchers instantly wiped out more than a dozen civilian auxiliary soldiers in the vicinity. These were all carefully selected and rigorously trained recruits from Astartes.

The moment the grenade was thrown, they quickly lay down or sought cover. If it had been ordinary civilian auxiliary soldiers, the death toll would likely have been even higher.

Meanwhile, the grenade-wielding boys attracted most of the firepower with their batons.

The pistol-wielding boys roared as they charged out of their cover, brandishing their large scythes and charging madly towards the area. Even a few of the better-equipped orcs were at the forefront.

They are youngsters who are one step closer to becoming the leader of the Orcs, and their strength is even enough to hold their own against Space Marines.

"Form ranks!" Tie Hui roared as he looked at the scene. The Astartes, who had all passed through the cave entrance, raised their boarding shields and blocked the road ahead.

The grenades were pressed against the firing port, firing wildly. The dense firepower instantly tore the orcs in front to pieces. But this only fueled their fighting spirit. Even the orc lads whose lower bodies were riddled with bullets were roaring and firing their guns as they crawled.

"Retreat in formation!" A hint of caution flashed in Tie Hui's eyes as he looked at the densely packed green heads.

As soon as he gave the order, the boarding shields that had been lying on the ground instantly rose up with a small gap. Valls pulled the trigger and, following the line of fire, raised the boarding shields in his hands.

"retreat!"

He shouted suddenly, and the Astartes at the front took three large steps back. Then, with a loud thud, the boarding shields crashed to the ground.

The firepower was increased again. Meanwhile, some ordinary auxiliary troops were providing support and reporting from various elevated positions with laser guns.

After all, the width of the passageways varies from place to place, and the angels of the Empire can't keep turning back to check every now and then while they're fighting, can they?
Therefore, these mortals are needed to set up various proactive traps in the rear, and to provide occasional updates on upcoming bends and narrowing or widening passages.

At this moment, the orc boys were completely oblivious to death. Because they had completely wailed.

The grenade-wielding boys continued throwing grenades into the charging orc army. Although the grenades weren't enough to fatally damage Astartes, they could still injure him at close range when they exploded. If this continued, the entire group would likely be engulfed in a sea of ​​grenades.

However, all the Astartes players maintained their formation and, following Valls' orders, continued to retreat in formation.

Behind their formation, their brothers were doing their best to snipe the grenade-wielding boys hiding among the orcs.

Whenever the orc army was about to charge, there would always be mortals assisting the military in using molten metal grenade launchers, which were modified from rifle grenade launchers, to force the orcs back.

They loaded a blank gunpowder grenade into the launcher, and placed the molten grenade, which had a pin base underneath, into the launcher and raised it at an angle.

With the trigger pulled, a loud bang was heard, and the molten metal bomb flew out. It landed among the orc horde, instantly turning dozens of orc lads into ashes or mutilated corpses.

At this moment, Tie Hui was also injured by the blast wave; a shard of metal tore through a gap in his power armor and pierced his body.

Fortunately, his black carapace and the bony plates of his body prevented the shrapnel from penetrating deeper and causing further damage. The powerful hemostatic function stopped the bleeding instantly.

However, as he fought, the shrapnel stuck in his flesh continued to cut open his wounds, causing a steady stream of blood loss.

As the barrage of attacks intensified, the remaining brothers carrying boarding shields had no choice but to raise their shields to protect themselves and their comrades.

Although this greatly reduced the number of grenades thrown into the front lines, some hot-headed grenades still rushed to the front and used their immense strength to throw them behind everyone else.

"The orc leader is hiding in the back!" Tilt noticed the injured Iron Glow. He approached him, carrying a heavy explosive pistol in one hand.

“This is unlike the customs of the Goff clan!” Tie Hui also noticed this phenomenon. It was completely contrary to the image of the Goffs as fanatical war enthusiasts.

Logically, in any battle, the orc leader of the Goff clan would definitely be the first to charge forward. However, the battle just now overturned their understanding of the Goff clan.

They knew to find cover and hide, and the boss even knew to stay in the back and give orders.

"This is absurd!" Tie Hui used his explosive pistol to precisely blow the heads off several orc lads who were about to charge forward. Then he turned to Tilt, "Take a few brothers and hurry up and check the back, don't get cornered!"

"Alright!" Tilt responded, then turned and beckoned several of his brothers to quickly leave.

Looking at the orc leader who had led the orc boys to charge forward, Tie Hui fell into deep thought for a moment. Could it be that fighting against gene stealers could yield tactical experience?
Something is wrong! Something is 120% wrong!
