Krieg, who was not hit, did not panic at all. They quickly found shelter and began to organize a demolition team.

When the three blasting teams were crawling towards the firing point, another hidden firing point also started firing, knocking down the blasting teams one after another.

The Krieg soldiers in the first phalanx were soon killed. With a whistle, the second phalanx stepped forward and prepared to continue the attack.

By the fifth phalanx, after losing a thousand soldiers, they destroyed five bunkers.

The Kriegers didn't care about the losses, as long as they could move forward, they felt it was worth it.

In the fifth bunker, a Krieg soldier with broken legs climbed up to the top of the bunker with a large bundle of grenades in his hand. With a bang, he blew the bunker open, exposing the tunnel hidden underneath.

The fifth phalanx of Krieg soldiers rushed in and used bayonets and sapper shovels to fight what they saw as cultists inside.

"The Corpse King is dead! The Yellow Turban Army should be established!" Several Yellow Turban soldiers in military uniforms rushed up with a large number of militiamen who had only received basic training and most of their combat skills could only be learned on the battlefield.

The Yellow Turban Army had a wider variety of melee weapons, including broadswords, spears, and large clubs covered with barbs.

Some had their heads chopped off by engineers' shovels, others had their chests pierced by spears. In the eyes of the Krieg soldiers, the pagans were as brave, fearless, and fearless of death as they were.

Krieg's side is more well-trained, so the exchange ratio is better than that of the newly mobilized militia, basically 1 to 2 to 1 to 3.

As the casualties grew, the Yellow Turban warriors wearing yellow turbans kept muttering the names of the dead, their pupils filled with red and yellow.

He shouted loudly, and the sword in his hand suddenly grew a lot bigger. With a half-moon slash, he cut the five Krieg soldiers in front of him into two pieces at once.

In the Yellow Turban Army, this sudden outburst of power was called the Manifestation of the Yellow Sky.

On the other hand, the Empire viewed them as heretics corrupted by the power of Chaos.

Another Yellow Turban soldier used his fingers as swords. A circle of talismans began to spin around him, and golden power flickered on each talisman.

When the energy accumulated to the maximum, he pointed forward and shouted: "Hurry up and obey the command!"

All the spinning talismans flew out, and several golden lightning bolts burst out from the talismans, exploding among the group of Krieg soldiers, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

The sixth phalanx of Krieg soldiers were also completely wiped out. The political commissar in his wide-brimmed hat still had an emotionless look in his eyes. Being a political commissar in the Krieg Death Corps had already chilled his heart to the point of being a piece of ice.

It wasn't surprising that the enemy's psykers took action. There were too many cultists' psykers, which was why they were able to cause heavy casualties to the well-trained elite Astra Militarum.

He pulled out his pistol and raised his chainsword, ready to continue the attack with the seventh phalanx.

A large hand blocked his way. It was a Space Marine from the Rampage Chapter. Under the heavy helmet, the political commissar could not see the Space Marine's expression.

The Space Marine from the Rampage Chapter shook his head, raised his right hand and waved it forward, and several of his brothers walked forward with their grenade launchers.

The meaning is clear, the Space Marines are going to take over the attack.

The same situation occurred in all the war zones around the fortress. The top leaders felt that Krieg's progress was too slow and the demigods had to enter the scene.

Chapter 368 Casualties

Nearly eight companies and eight hundred Space Marines may not sound like a lot, but their fighting power is terrifying for ordinary mortals.

The bunkers that could stop the Kriegs could not stop the Space Marines. Ordinary heavy machine guns could hardly hit these demigods, and even if some of them hit them, they could not penetrate their sturdy armor.

The grenade launcher would accurately shoot into the bunker through the hole. The powerful bombs were too powerful for mortals. One bullet could blow most of a mortal's body into pieces.

To deal with stronger fortresses, they also have plasma guns and rocket launchers. With powerful dreadnoughts and predator tanks as the vanguard, the firepower and troops outside the fortress can do nothing to these demigods.

Although those blessed Yellow Turban soldiers could pose a certain threat to them, their combat experience and coordination were far inferior to those of these veterans who had fought for hundreds of years.

The Yellow Turban Army commanders at the front were only hearing the news that one stronghold after another had been captured, and they fell into panic. They still didn't know how many outlying strongholds they had lost and how many troops they had lost.

Cheng Mingrui in the command room in the fortress could clearly feel all the details. In just a moment, he could feel the death of hundreds of militiamen who believed in Huang Tian.

It took five Yellow Turban warriors who had awakened their powers and received the blessing of the Yellow Sky to kill one Space Marine with all their might. The gap was indeed too big.

The fortress's outer defenses are insurmountable for mortals, but for Astartes Space Marines, they are only a bit difficult.

The Space Marines were like spear tips, breaking through one solid defensive point after another, and the soldiers of the Krieg Death Korps behind them rushed up and advanced through the gaps created by the Space Marines.

Leman Russ tanks, Chimera armored vehicles, each destroyed, and then replaced. The order from above was to capture the fortress, regardless of the cost.

When faced with a new line of defense, the Space Marines would retreat and let the Krieg soldiers go first. After scouting the firing points, they would prepare for a breakthrough. Of course, the lives of Krieg soldiers were not as valuable as those of the Space Marines, so it was natural for the Space Marines to consume them.

Unfortunately, even with the participation of the Space Marines, the tragic siege of the fortress lasted for three months before breaking through the outer perimeter. When entering the interior of the fortress, one-fifth of the Krieg soldiers of the Legion had already returned to the throne, and the Space Marines had lost nearly a hundred.

This is because the closer to the fortress, the stronger the Yellow Turban Army's defense, the more resolute the defending soldiers' will, and the more Yellow Heaven's blessings (Blood God's blessings) they will receive because of their courage and will.

Seeing a Yellow Turban soldier who was covered in wounds and had difficulty standing up, he could still shout "The Corpse King is dead, and the Yellow Emperor should be established!" and rush towards the Space Marines who were armed to the teeth with weapons in his hands.

Such fearless courage made Khorne, who was watching the battlefield, feel excited. The battlefield full of courage and glory was his favorite scene.

There is nothing uncommon about having a warrior. When almost every Yellow Turban Army soldier is a warrior, the combat effectiveness of this army can be imagined.

In order to break through the defense of the fortress gate, the Grey Knights had to engage in battle early.

They wielded the power halberds of the goddess of vengeance to split open the sturdy fortress gates, and shot bullets stained with the blood of good people at the Yellow Turban soldiers who were blessed by the Yellow Heaven.

Surprisingly, these bullets could kill them, but they did not have the same restraining effect of evolution and expulsion as they did on ordinary demons.

Of course, those who can join the Yellow Turban Army must come from the people and go to the people, and do good deeds every day. How can such a good person be purified by a bullet stained with the blood of good people?

Even if the Grey Knights' weapons didn't have special attack effects, they were powerful enough for mortals. To describe the Grey Knights as armed to the teeth was not appropriate at all. Their equipment could only be described as lavish.

In order to maintain the equipment of a Grey Knights Chapter of one thousand men, the production capacity of several Forge Worlds that can support the equipment of several Astra Militarum Legions is often required.

It can be said that the cost of one thousand Grey Knights is equivalent to about ten Astra Militarum Legions. (Of course, this is an exaggeration. The human empire has a serious production capacity black hole. The production capacity of a forge world full of factories is often wasted in some strange places.)

Therefore, although the Grey Knights are also called Space Marines, their equipment and combat effectiveness not only crush mortals, but also far exceed ordinary Space Marines.

The fortress gate was lost. Some Grey Knights formed a silver spear tip and continued to attack inwards. The following Space Marines entered other forks in the road to clear out the resistance forces inside, and the Krieg soldiers came at the end.

According to common sense, if a fortress loses its gate, it is basically half fallen.

Cheng Mingrui's arrangement was counterintuitive. He was determined to open the eyes of these demigods and tell the reactionaries of the empire that this was just the beginning of the battle and that more brutal street fighting was waiting for them.

In the fortress, various small holes and secret passages are sniper points, and bombs may also be hidden in the garbage and ruins on the roadside.

In the first three months after entering the fortress, more than half of the Krieg Death Corps suffered casualties, and more than one-third of the Wrath Corps suffered casualties.

When in the fourth month, the Imperial Army gathered its forces and prepared to launch another attack, when enough Human Imperial troops poured into the fortress, the entire fortress shook.

With a dull explosion, the fortress gate collapsed, burying the Imperial Guards and Space Marines at the door and cutting off communication between the inside and the outside.

In the passages inside the fortress, teams of elite Yellow Turban soldiers wearing red and yellow armor and yellow turbans joined the battle, blocking the way of the Space Marines.

The Yellow Turban Warriors were warriors born with more blessings from the Yellow Heaven. They had armor and weapons bestowed by the Yellow Heaven. Their bodies also grew larger, with the shortest being two or three meters tall, and the tallest even reaching five meters.

A Space Marine's chainsaw sword and the machete of the Yellow Turban Warrior collided with each other, and the rotating teeth of the chainsaw sword drew red sparks on the steel knife. In terms of strength, the Yellow Turban Warrior was better than the ordinary Space Marine.

The Space Marines fighting against the Yellow Turban Warriors remained as calm as a machine. There were too many aliens with better physical fitness than the Space Marines, such as the Green Orcs, Tyranid War Beasts, Necrons, and even the Tau, who would be stronger than the Space Marines with the blessing of advanced combat uniforms.

But strength has never been the first element of victory.

The Space Marine took out the bolter from his waist with his other hand and shot the Yellow Turban warrior on the knee. When the Yellow Turban warrior was in pain, he beheaded him with the chainsaw sword.

The coordination developed through countless training sessions, the experience gained through countless wars, as long as we can win, fighting does not care about the means.

Chapter 369: One ride is worth a thousand

The Yellow Turban warriors were all very brave, and the blessing made them stronger so that they could fight against the Space Marines. However, because the gap in combat experience was too great, the battle situation was not ideal.

As the general is the soul of the army, Cheng Mingrui plans to lead the team himself to annihilate some of the interstellar warriors and boost morale.

In a narrow passage, a platoon of green guards were launching an attack. They were arranged in a formation with the assault team in the front, the command team in the middle, and the heavy weapons team in the back.

Blocking them was a company of rebel militiamen, who had the advantage of terrain and were equipped with two large-caliber heavy machine guns, a melta gun, and various long and short laser guns. But as mortals, they could not stop the Space Marines even in such a narrow passage.

The large-caliber heavy machine gun fired for only a moment before the machine gunner was shot in the head by a well-aimed explosive bullet. The second machine gunner tried to take over and was shot in the head again.

The melta gun that could burn through armor and kill a Space Marine with one shot also fell to the ground. The Space Marine scouts holding sniper rifles immediately eliminated this high-threat unit.

Rex glanced at the scout and nodded. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before they could break through the cult's defenses. They could go slower, but the overall goal was to reduce casualties.

Resk felt that following the Demonic Inquisition to suppress the planet was the most unsuccessful decision he had made since he succeeded the Legion Commander.

The cultists here are different from those he has encountered for hundreds of years. They don't rely too much on the power of the evil god, nor do they lose their minds and become crazy. Logically, the power bestowed by the evil god has a price... It is normal to drive people crazy...

But these cultists are actually very smart, brave... and strong-willed. The mortal armies of the cultists often fight to the last man and refuse to surrender... This is very scary.

There are still tens of billions of mortals on the planet. If they are all like this, even a fully-strength regiment of the Green Ring Guards will not be able to withstand such losses.

"Advance slowly, advance slowly, and pay attention to the mortals lying on the ground. They may not be dead, but are holding explosives such as melta bombs and waiting for us to approach so that they can die with us."

In the communication channel, Rex reminded his brothers that many of his brothers had been killed or injured in this way before.

Suddenly, Rex's screen showed that someone in his team had stopped breathing and died instantly.

This is unusual. You have to know that Space Marines are two hearts and three lungs. Even if their internal organs are destroyed, the Belisarius Furnace can bring the Space Marines back to life and continue fighting for a period of time.

The existence that can kill Space Marines instantly has never appeared in previous battles.

"Who is it!" Rex shouted and looked in the direction where the team members were killed. That was the back of the team, where a scout was located.

He was a human being only 1.8 meters tall, holding a green long sword. The two-meter-tall scout was cut into two pieces by this sword.

There seemed to be some magical effect on the sword that could cause death, but at the same time, not a drop of blood was on it, and a yellow-green glow could be seen outside.

The green guard in the middle of the team immediately raised his grenade launcher and fired at the target human. The heavy weapons team holding heavy grenade launchers also aimed their guns at him, and soon the fist-sized bullets covered the human.

This heavy explosive bomb has very strong penetrating power and can turn a Chimaira armored vehicle into a sieve full of bullet holes in a short time.

"Keep attacking and don't stop!" The firepower of the Green Ring Guards completely covered the back of the passage, and the passage formed by metal and solid rock was smashed into pieces.

Dust and debris blocked many views, and it was hard to imagine how living things could survive in the face of such a metal storm.

Two double-bladed swords flew out from the smoke and dust, one of them pierced a green ring guard through the chest and nailed him to the ground; the other one flew towards Rex and hit him in the face.

Rex, who was holding the power sword, reacted quickly and blocked it with the power sword, deflecting the huge double blades to the side.

The sound of chains being pulled was heard, and the handles of the two huge double-edged swords, connected with chains, were pulled back into the vast dust little by little.

Zhang Jue, a Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a chain and a double-edged sword, and carrying a huge sword on his back, walked out of the dust.

After Cheng Mingrui knew that he was going to build the throne of the God of War, his ego consciousness changed his previous fighting style of using puppets, lightning, and talismans and began to switch to a close combat posture.

Rex's eyes widened. This strange appearance and dress must be possessed by a demon!

Some of the green guards who were close to them shot with their grenade launchers and took out their chainsaw swords to slash at Cheng Mingrui.

It was not Cheng Mingrui who blocked the chainsaw sword, but the Yellow Turban warriors who rushed out from behind him.

These strong men were taller, about three meters tall, and had considerable combat experience. They quickly charged into the Green Ring Guards. A fierce melee began, with casualties on both sides.

Cheng Mingrui hung a pair of chain double-edged swords on his waist, pulled out a green sword from his back and rushed towards Rex.

The speed was too fast. Before Rek'Sai could be surprised, she could only rely on her long-developed fighting instinct to block with her greatsword.

With a bang, the power sword and the green longsword collided with each other. The green longsword was thick and heavy, even wider and thicker than the Space Marine power sword.

Rex couldn't withstand the blow and was knocked back several steps. The power sword in his hand was almost knocked away.

This was not an enemy he could fight against. With just one strike, Rex discovered the huge difference in strength. Looking at Cheng Mingrui's bloodthirsty eyes, he actually felt a little timid in his heart.

This is the effect of Cheng Mingrui's halo, part of the blessing bestowed by the Blood God, which terrifies the enemy.

On the battlefield, time is the difference between life and death. Cheng Mingrui raised his sword and slashed upward diagonally. As a Primaris Space Marine, Rex was three meters tall, and compared to Cheng Mingrui, who was 1.8 meters tall, he was a giant.

Such a giant could not keep up with Cheng Mingrui's speed at all, and was cut in the chest by the raised green sword.

The power armor was cut open by the green sword like a piece of paper, and a huge slanted wound was cut from bottom to top on Rex's chest, which almost seemed to cut Rex in half.

Rex was knocked to the ground and seemed to be dead.

The remaining Green Ring Guards were shocked that their Chapter Leader was possessed by this strange demon. They killed him in two moves and rushed forward to rescue him.

But their strength was even weaker. Cheng Mingrui raised the green sword with both hands.

There was a gleam of determination in his eyes, and the green sword destroyed everything in its path. Any green guards who rushed up were killed by the sword.

Chapter 370 Rampage

"Heavenly Master! Long live the Heavenly Master!" On the defensive positions, many of the rebel militiamen stood up and cheered for the Heavenly Master Zhang Jue.

While fighting, Cheng Mingrui looked at the militiamen on the position, among whom was a familiar face, miner John.

Now John has been transformed into a militia soldier. Originally, disabled technicians like him could work in the mines in the rear, get food rations, and stay away from the danger of war.

However, he still came to the battlefield voluntarily. He regarded Huang Tian as his belief and was willing to sacrifice his life for this belief.

Cheng Mingrui smiled at him. He just came to kill a few of the Corpse King's lackeys to boost morale.
