Chapter 215: Decapitation Operation Behind Enemy Lines
When Constantine Adam came to his senses, he said to Raynor: "I saw a vision. We can destroy the subspace portal and completely expel the demons."
"Illusion..." Renault frowned and said with doubt and worry, "Maybe this is a trap set by the devil."
"Yes. It is possible."
"But it could also be some kind of revelation."
Constantine is an experienced Librarian of the Second Company, serving as the company's chief scribe. All Librarians are powerful psychics who can play an important role in the fight against demonic forces.
Renault said, "You are the commander, and I support your decision. What is your plan?"
"Reno, I need you to stay here and command the mortal army to draw enemy fire and create opportunities for me."
"I will lead an elite force in a raid to destroy the Warp Gate!"
"If I fail, you will immediately lead the mortal forces to break out and retreat, call for an orbital strike, and destroy Hive 101!"
Renault looked at Constantine deeply and said, "Old buddy, your combat career may end this time. Perhaps we can just retreat and call for a bombing..."
"No. A well-maintained hive city will be more beneficial to the regiment..."
"Reno, the corrupt empire is always accustomed to sacrificing mortals to gain battles. This is a shame."
"We Astartes were born to fight. We should not be afraid of sacrifice. As long as we are valuable enough..."
"Okay, okay. Sometimes I feel like you're more like one of those good guys from Salamander..."
After discussing with the two veterans, Renault and Thomas, he reported the battle plan to the Flamingo headquarters. After obtaining approval, he immediately summoned elite troops to prepare for action.
Two Astartes veterans, eight Astartes recruits, and forty elite warriors of the hive - fanatical death squad members who volunteered for the mission.
"Listen up, rookies."
"What we have to do next is to find the evil cultists and wizards hiding among the demons as quickly as possible and kill them!"
"Don't get entangled with any enemies!"
"If we're fast enough, we can drive them away before the demon army completes the encirclement!"
"Everyone check your weapons and ammunition and prepare for the assault!"
In a square somewhere in the Lower Nest, a fifty-man suicide squad was ready and lined up in assault formation. Constantine stood in the center of the team, with veteran Thomas as his personal guard beside him.
Kratos and the other Astartes recruits were the second line of defense, protecting the two. The outermost layer was the third line of defense consisting of forty mortal warriors.
They stood closely together, forming a phalanx like those of ancient Roman warriors.
"Ready to fight!"
Constantine reminded loudly, and then activated the psychic spell, [Endless Gate].
The think tank warrior's eyes turned into a pair of glowing light bulbs, purple flames gushed out of his body, and tiny lightning surrounded him. The warriors around him suddenly felt a huge oppression from their souls.
Amidst the flash of thunder, a purple spiral gate of light formed in front of everyone.
"attack!"
Kratos followed everyone into the portal.
It felt like I had passed through a dense curtain of water. Everything in front of my eyes suddenly darkened, and in an instant I was transported from the bright Xiachao Square to a huge, dim hall.
The underground hall, which was estimated to be over fifty meters high and three hundred meters wide, was illuminated by green and purple lights, and groups of plague demons filled the hall.
Kratos saw at a glance the subspace portal in the center of the hall, which was made of purple energy and had a diameter of more than ten meters. Around the portal, there were hundreds of cult wizards in tattered gray robes, standing on a huge eight-pointed star magic circle and casting spells.
Constantine felt dizzy and half-knelt on the ground in discomfort. Although the distance was short, casting psychic spells in an area full of demonic corrosive power put an unexpected burden on him, and the think tank temporarily lost its combat effectiveness.
But they had no time to waste. The moment they discovered these uninvited guests, the plague demons around them surged up like a tide.
"Kill the wizard!"
Thomas roared, supported Constantine with one hand, and raised the other hand to lead the suicide squad to launch a fearless charge towards the magic circle.
The Astartes were armed with high-powered weapons such as bolt machine guns, laser cannons, and plasma cannons, and they blasted forward to block the most densely populated corners of the enemy, knocking down the enemy in large numbers.
The fearless mortal warriors shouted slogans such as "God bless you" and "For the Emperor", threw melta grenades at the enemy, and advanced with heavy machine guns. There were also some psychic warriors among them, releasing lightning and fire spells, bombing out vacuum zones among the enemy groups.
Relying on powerful firepower, the suicide squad quickly attacked the location of the portal, and the distance between the two sides was no more than two hundred meters.
The sharpshooters in the team had even begun to shift their firepower to the wizards in the magic circle, but they were all blocked by the void shields around the wizards' bodies.
"Damn it! These demons are endless!"
The closer they got to the magic circle, the greater the resistance the death squad encountered. They found that the demons around the portal were much stronger than all the demons they had encountered before. Demons that could be killed with one explosive bomb now required many explosive bombs to kill.
Some tall demons even had a layer of void shield-like subspace energy protection on their bodies, which weakened the attacks of bullets.
The corrosive power of the demonic plague has also been greatly enhanced, and the members of the mortal suicide squad on the periphery have already shown symptoms of ulceration, suppuration, and bleeding from the mouth and nose.
Seeing that the demon army was about to complete the gathering, Constantine finally recovered from the psychic overdraft. He cast a protective spell that enveloped everyone and eliminated most of the power of the plague organization that was weakening them.
"Warriors, follow me and charge!"
The Librarian shouted and led the charge, followed by veteran Thomas, and then eight new recruits. All of them switched to melee weapons and launched a heroic charge towards the group of demons.
Seeing this, the mortal warriors also drew their chainswords and rushed forward along with the [Angels of Judgment], engaging enthusiastically in hand-to-hand combat.
With the warriors' fanatical faith, the demon skin and subspace energy protection that can resist guns, bombs and bombs cannot withstand the blade of cold weapons.
The demons were chopped off one by one like cutting melons and vegetables, turning into pieces of corpses.
Three powerful Astartes warriors formed a spearhead, piercing through the wall of demons, unstoppable.
Constantine, Thomas, and Kratos - the fighting skills of this new recruit surprised the other two veterans. Kratos, holding a power sword, was more efficient in killing demons than the two veterans, displaying superb martial arts that seemed to come from some ancient world. No demon could be his match.
With every step, dozens or hundreds of demons fell, as well as one or more human warriors.
Compared to the demons who had no rules, humans who knew how to cooperate with each other knew how to exert their combat effectiveness. The warriors worked in groups of three to take care of each other, and the three-person groups cooperated with each other, rotating the square formation like a constantly rotating sharp circular saw, cutting a bloody path through the demons.
Finally, relying on this ancient and barbaric fighting method, the suicide squad members broke through the obstruction of the demon army, passed through the void shield, and entered the magic circle.
