Chapter 343: The Angel Never Seen Before

Just as the soldiers were about to reach their breaking point in the steeper area of the Second Defense Line, a shrill whistle sounded from behind the lines.

"Damn it! Huff... what is that sound?"

A Human Alliance soldier panted heavily after using his combat knife to sever the massive pincers of a giant pincer-bug before him.

This was heard by a Cadian soldier who happened to be firing his laser gun; his cracked lips curled into a smile, and a flash of excitement flickered in his purple pupils.

"It's the Death Korps of Krieg, the Emperor's reinforcements have arrived!"

Upon hearing the Cadian soldier say this, the Human Alliance soldier guessed that their own superiors had come to support them. His previously exhausted body was filled with joy, and he desperately squeezed the remaining Spiritual Power from his body to drive his Spirit Pattern Combat Knife, slaughtering the Zerg that approached him.

Soon, a group of soldiers wearing gas masks charged into the defense line, and a massive number of laser beams shot toward the Insect Tide, momentarily adding a glimmer of light to the somewhat gloomy battlefield.

The sound of artillery from the rear also became dense, and the concentrated shelling slowed the charge of the Insect Tide significantly.

Seeing the arrival of the Death Korps of Krieg reinforcements, the Cadian Lieutenant silently breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, he felt someone come up behind him; he turned his head to see a Krieg Commissar wearing a tall, peaked cap.

He said to the Cadian Lieutenant in a flat tone:

"Lieutenant, you and your soldiers have completed your task. The Emperor now commands you to take the other soldiers on the defense line and withdraw first; this place will become the burial ground for the Alien."

The Cadian Lieutenant took a deep breath and spoke.

"We... we can still fight!"

The Krieg Commissar's tone was already somewhat icy, his gaze fixed on the Cadian Lieutenant through his gas mask.

"This is the Emperor's will; you have no authority to decide."

"Yes."

When the Human Alliance soldiers were told by the Cadian soldiers to withdraw, they were still bewildered. They had finally stabilized the line, so why were they retreating?

While withdrawing, they saw three men, 2.4 meters tall and clad in silver-white armor, passing by.

"It's the Emperor's Angels!"

Seeing the three Astartes, the Cadian soldiers' tone carried a hint of worship.

After getting further away, a Human Alliance soldier asked the Cadian soldier beside him in confusion.

"What does that mean?"

"They are the Angels who deliver death to the enemies of the Emperor, they are the warriors loyal to the Emperor!"

Just as this Cadian soldier was explaining the situation of the Astartes to the Human Alliance soldier, a Cadian Sergeant coughed lightly and spoke up.

"Ahem, the attire they are wearing is something we have never seen before. Are they the Emperor's hidden Angels?"

"Troopers, enough. Do not discuss related topics anymore."

Hearing the soldiers' discussion, the Cadian Lieutenant interrupted their conversation with a stern tone.

"Yes, sir!"

The group soon saw the 3-meter-tall figure. The Cadian Lieutenant immediately straightened his uniform, walked up to Yingzhou, and said with an excited tone.

"Salute to you, great Emperor!"

Yingzhou looked at the Cadian soldiers who were getting along well with the Human Alliance soldiers, nodded with satisfaction, and spoke.

"You have done well. Now it is time to let those Aliens know the terror of Humanity!"

Second Defense Line.

"Oh Emperor! Let me be loyal to you!"

A Grey Knight wearing Holy Shield Power Armor used the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in his hand, firing a bolt from its tip, blasting half the body off a giant pincer-bug in the distance.

The three Grey Knights activated the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberds in their hands, killing the Zerg that approached them in one strike; not a single Zerg could withstand a single blow from a Grey Knight.

Blue plasma occasionally flew toward the Grey Knights from the Insect Tide, but the attacks were blocked by the Psionic Barrier on the surface of the Grey Knights.

The Grey Knight in the middle gathered his Psionic power, and then a bolt of Psionic Lightning struck directly into the Insect Tide; all Zerg within the range were wiped out without exception.

"As expected, if I want to use the Psionic power within my body, I must consume more to unleash a Psionic Attack."

The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in this Grey Knight's hand did not stop for a second, skillfully harvesting the surrounding Zerg.

"Fannidike, let us take turns performing Psionic Attacks and let these Aliens feel the Emperor's wrath!"

Fannidike used his Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd to remotely kill a deep-blue Zerg that was firing Plasma Bombs at the Death Korps of Krieg, and replied.

"Good, by the Emperor's command, send these Aliens to their deaths!"

The three Grey Knights walked out of the defense line, standing like rocks amidst the Insect Tide, but the continuously released Psionic spells caused severe damage to the Insect Tide.

With the three Grey Knights walking out of the defense line, they attracted the attention of many Zerg, which also made the Krieg soldiers fighting the Zerg within the line want to follow them out to be loyal to the Emperor.

But hindered by the lack of orders, many Krieg soldiers looked toward the Krieg Commissar. Although both sides wore gas masks, the Krieg Commissar could still feel the eager gaze of these soldiers wanting to be loyal to the Emperor.

The Krieg Commissar, feeling these gazes, could not help but feel a chill down his spine and shouted loudly.

"Troopers, the Emperor's will: defend this line well and await further orders."

After saying this, the Krieg Commissar clearly felt the pressure on him decrease significantly.

Seeing that the situation with these troopers had stabilized, the Krieg Commissar silently added a sentence in his heart.

Praise the Emperor!

It was not until the Catachan tough guys came to take over the defense line that the Krieg Commissar issued the charge order to the Krieg soldiers.

The shrill whistle sounded again, and the Krieg soldiers charged toward the Insect Tide outside the defense line the moment they heard the sound.

Seeing this situation, the Dominator Bug inside the distant Hatchery saw the antennae on its head twitch restlessly.

"What is the situation with those three humans? Why do they have such high power? And that group of masked humans, those humans riding horses—are they not humans? Why is there no fear? It is clearly almost impossible to hold this place, so why not abandon it? This is different from the behavior of humans in the past."

After the three Grey Knights arrived at the rd Position's first defense line, they stopped advancing, waiting for the Death Korps of Krieg to take over the defense line before dealing with these Aliens; the Emperor's currency did not need to be wasted excessively.

"The Death Korps of Krieg should be arriving here soon. We will block those Aliens here and let them establish a firm foothold quickly."

"As expected, the Psionic power within the body is still somewhat suppressed."

The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in Fannidike's hand swung incessantly. The three Grey Knights had stopped their Psionic spell attacks and were relying on the three Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberds to tear a gap in the Insect Tide.

Soon, the sound of armored vehicles roaring came from the flank of the Grey Knights. Chimera Armored Vehicles were approaching them, and near the Chimera Armored Vehicles, Krieg Cavalry and Attila Barbarian Cavalry were fighting the Zerg.

The Krieg Cavalry's Biochemical Warhorses directly rammed and sent small Zerg flying or trampled them into paste, while their 95-centimeter-long Single-edged Curved Swords continuously thrust at the surrounding Zerg, carrying out a Harvest of the surrounding Zerg's lives.
