Chapter 321, a larger raid

"No.30 one."

Anato pulled out the bloody chain sword from the chest of the fallen Sentinel mecha in front of him. With his other hand, he held a single bolter and fired non-stop, killing one after another who tried to threaten them. His Stefanos were blown to pieces.

After a while, the magazine was empty.

This is the last one on him, there are still many enemies.

But he felt no nervousness.

The chain sword was swung, and the other free hand was clenched into a fist, which was also like a heavy hammer.

People who are scraped by the chain sword will have their entire body torn to pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Under the chain sword that can tear steel plates, the human body is exaggeratedly fragile; the same is true for the fists of the Space Marines, even if There are no equipment such as gravity gloves or power fists. Just using the power of the space warriors and the output of the power armor, the iron gloves are enough to completely crush no matter what part of the human body they hit.

Anyone who stands in the way and dares to approach him will be mercilessly eliminated.Anato's entire body was soon stained with blood, but the blood was splashed on the fiery red armor, so it didn't look so obvious.

However, instead of trying to kill all the enemies while out of ammunition, he chose to break out backwards.

Although there are many enemies, not many dare to stop him.

The death of the 'knight' has a great impact on the fighting will of the remaining soldiers.

This is also the purpose of Anato's initiative.He just wanted to stab the Sentinel mecha to death with one sword and destroy the resistance of this small group of enemies.

After success, it is time to retreat.

Even though the bolter in his hand was empty of bullets, it was still easy to retreat.

The only remaining enemies are ordinary soldiers.

Those with low morale will collapse and flee; no matter how courageous they are, they will only dare to shoot a few shots from a distance.Not to mention whether the hit was successful or not, even if it was a hit, even if the weapons in the hands of these palace guards were regular LR series laser guns, they would still have no effect on power armor.

Everyone knows about flashlights.

Of course, this is a joke. The LR series laser guns are much more powerful than the G series live ammunition firearms.

Anato cherishes the armor he wears very much. It takes a long time to repair it once it is damaged, and the Phoenix is ​​not yet rich enough to give them a spare set.He doesn't want to be shined by these 'flashlights' too much, as the surface armor coating will melt away, and severe metal fatigue will cause armor damage.

He dodged bullets, killed the enemies around him, and quickly retreated to his own line of defense.

The two battle brothers, who were guarding the blasted door next to the ruins of the building, nodded slightly to him.

He returned the greeting briefly, then saw a veteran commander behind him, reported that the mission was completed, and replenished some bullets from the ammunition box next to him.

After a brief glance, there were not many bullets left in the ammunition box.

If the fight lasts longer, everyone will be out of bullets.

This is exactly the dilemma they are facing now.

Previously, after the team he led intercepted Iron Curtain Queen Ispsy and her party, they did not evacuate with the prisoners, but returned to the core of the Stefano Kingdom.

This is very obviously putting yourself in danger.

They haven't completely occupied the city yet.Here, there are still 20 troops from the Kingdom of Stefano guarding.The Queen was captured and she was still in the palace. It was hard to predict how those Stefanos would react.

No matter what their purpose is, they will definitely try every means and muster all their strength to regain their queen.

This is exactly the goal of the Space Marines - to use the Queen as a powerful bait to firmly attract the enemy here.

After gathering two teams that destroyed the air defense system, Anato and others, a total of twenty phoenixes, guarded the center of the kingdom and began to compete with countless enemies who came to save the queen.

In other words, it was a unilateral massacre.

The 'heroic Stefano man' that Espressi said was indeed not a lie.The so-called 'Knights of the Guards', that is, the nobles of the kingdom who drive Sentinel mechas, lead a large number of Guards soldiers, and rush forward risking their lives one by one to break through the main road guarded by the Space Marines. To save their queen.

But they were fruitless.

In this short period of time, twenty Space Marines destroyed thirty Sentinel mechas and killed more than two thousand Guardsmen.

The fragments of the mecha and the blood of the soldiers dyed all the areas that could be dyed red. Broken limbs and steel debris were scattered everywhere.

The Space Marines, however, were not injured.

Even the brave Stefano people will inevitably have their morale lowered under such a desperate contrast.

They have taken all measures and are completely unafraid of sacrifice, but they still can't see any hope of breaking through the defense line composed of 20 Phoenixes.

They are still working on it.

After having suffered enough sacrifices and lessons, the knights and kingdom soldiers who arrived later no longer charged recklessly.He kept shouting, asking ordinary soldiers to carry weapons and cover some of them who were carrying high explosives to rush towards the Space Marines.

Betting on luck, plus betting on the limited number of bullets the Space Marines have.

This is indeed the case.

Space Marines have a very strong load-bearing capacity, and their extremely well-designed tactical backpacks leave out every inch of space possible so that they can carry as much supplies as possible.

However, the size of the explosive bomb is right here. It is much larger than ordinary gun bullets, and the number that can be loaded is always limited.

Each phoenix carried at least 600 rounds of explosive bombs, but after going through the previous battles and fighting here for a long time, they were almost used up.

They have begun to consciously save ammunition in battle, but even Space Marines cannot force them to kill an enemy with every shot.Necessary fire suppression, fire reconnaissance, and missed shots during long-distance shooting are all normal situations.

Not to mention, even if they could kill one enemy with every bullet, the number of enemies would still be greater than their bullets.

Faced with the shrinking style of the new enemy, Anato volunteered and took advantage of the end of the enemy's offensive to commit suicide alone.He bypassed the field of view, and then after the enemy discovered him, he withstood the fire and used his chainsword to destroy the Sentinel mecha who was commanding from behind.

After completing his goal, he did achieve his goal.

No matter how brave the Stefanos were, they could not conceal the nature of this feudal army.After missing the noble officers, the remaining ordinary soldiers were obviously at a loss and cowered.

At this moment, Phoenix's defense can finally breathe a little easier.

They shouldn't need to hold on tight until the next group of enemies reorganizes, and the ammo consumption problem can be alleviated a bit.As for the future, the bullets will always run out.

But so what?

Anato paid attention to the panel built into the tactical helmet.

There are only ten minutes left before the scheduled time.

...

At this moment, in the sky above Stefano's capital fortress, whistling sounds came one after another.

Hundreds of Wind Falcon fighter jets arrived over the city.

Before this, Feng Falcon did not dare to come.

Conventional anti-aircraft firepower is just that, and the efficiency is just that. If the flight altitude is increased and the speed is maintained, bombing will be no problem.Anyway, these local forces of Black Arrow Star are really good at building the air force.Although they also have wind falcons, there are only more than a dozen in each kingdom, and they don't dare to fly over to fight.

However, they spent a lot of money to build a track prevention and control system.The Defender live-fire air defense system, coupled with many precision air defense missiles, can ensure a certain interception efficiency even for starship bombing on the ground, let alone the air force dare to fly over the city's airspace.

But now, the Space Marines' raid has destroyed the city's prevention and control system.

The wind falcons can come swaggering over.

They hovered arrogantly at the top of the palace fortress. Those who wanted to unload soldiers, ammunition and supplies went down first. The rest launched their airborne missiles towards any target that might pose a threat to airborne landings, even lowering their flight speeds. altitude, for a dive shot.

After the unloading was completed, the Wind Falcon flew up and took over their tasks, while the rest continued to unload personnel and materials.

After four or five rounds of rotation, everything was removed.

The whole process was smooth.

Space Marines are very reliable in their work.Not to mention the anti-aircraft fire that attacked them, the surrounding threatening areas had long been cleared, and there were not even a few ordinary soldiers shooting in the air with rifles.

After destroying all the missiles and machine-gun shells, the Wind Falcons left with satisfaction.

What was left behind were thousands of [-]th Brigade special operations elites wearing exoskeletons, and enough ammunition to last them a full day of high-intensity combat.

After the Wind Falcons return, they will load up another group of soldiers and supplies and make another trip.Counting the installation time and distance, the next time they arrive will not take more than eight hours at most.

On the ground, the three special operations battalion commanders and three major battalion commanders of the [-]th Brigade, who had just landed, gathered in front of Martins.

Wearing exoskeletons, they gave an alliance military salute in awe to the majestic chapter leader wearing Terminator power armor in front of them.

After Martins returned the gift, he started arranging tasks for them without any nonsense.

Soon, various troops took their men and headed in all directions.

Martins gazed across the city.

There was a rush and chaos, and the flames of war were raging.

He was already familiar with this scene. He had been here like this for hundreds of years.

It is true that Space Marines always deal with all kinds of monster-like enemies. Those powerful enemies are the most vivid in people's memory. But if you dig into your memory again, those ordinary counter-insurgency missions and dealing with enemies who can be called novices, in fact, This is the most frequent battle.

He doesn't understand sometimes.Obviously, his battle group, whether at its peak or later during the Atonement Expedition, had been divided into groups of dozens of people, with the size of a company, constantly running around in the star sea, responding to planetary governors and imperial forces from all corners of the world. In response to the party's request for support, most of the battles were to help various planets counter rebellion.

They really didn't have much time to rest, but the Planetary Governor always said that asking for Imperial reinforcements, especially Space Marines, was out of reach. When the day lilies were cold, the Space Marines didn't even come. .

The two were contradictory and often confused Martins.

He always felt that as the emperor's angels of death, as the most powerful warriors of the empire, their enemies should be those aliens, demons, and the enemies of mankind.But most of the time, their opponents are just humans, who are just counterinsurgency, counterinsurgency, counterinsurgency.

Of course he knew that it was because the territory of the empire was so large that even if the battle group tried their best to run around, they could still only level one area after another.

But what he really doesn't understand is, why is there rebellion everywhere?Even more, why did the rebellion that might have just been put down by them revive again within a few years?

He has a long life, but his life is always fighting, and it is difficult to have enough time to think about this problem.

But now, it seems that there is another person thinking about this problem for him.

On Raging Owl, he not only witnessed but also participated in Governor Gu Hang's process of unifying the world.He originally had no worries about this because he had helped too many worlds unify and suppress rebellions.

But he rarely saw that when the so-called unification really came, every person and every group of people who were included under Governor Gu's rule lived a much better life than before. ;Those evildoers were truly punished.

He knew what the state was like when Gu Hang first came to Angry Owl Star, so he felt that everything he did was indeed valuable.

At least, he couldn't see the slightest sign of a large-scale rebellion on Raging Owl.

This situation has also been confirmed to a certain extent on Black Arrow Star.The Luman Kingdom also calmed down quickly after being captured.

Although, the speed of its development is not particularly exaggerated because it is not native and has not completely changed its political system.However, there are no more people dying of hunger or freezing.

Martins knew that he did not have a particularly keen political mind, but based on his shallow and simple understanding, he felt that those Luman people would not rebel.

The Governor-General to whom he has sworn allegiance has a more complete thinking and precise understanding of the issues of 'why people rebel' and 'how to eradicate rebellion' than he, a warrior who only knows how to fight. Methods.

Check it out then.

He had to admit that after swearing allegiance to Gu Hang, although the chapter was flourishing and showing signs of recovery, he still had some thoughts in his heart: "I once pledged my allegiance to such a grand goal as the Emperor, the Empire, and Humanity, but now it has become It's such a shame to be loyal to one person."

Sometimes, he would even ask himself, is it worth throwing away the honor of the chapter for the sake of its continuation?

But now, his undue sense of shame is gradually diminishing with what he sees and hears.

"Then let me wait and see."

He whispered, raised the gun in his hand, and walked towards the battlefield in front of him.
