Chapter 683: Steel Torrent VS Demon Swarm (1)

Human Alliance Frontline Base No. 6.

"Hm? Great Demon Falke has already been killed? Was it Vulkan?"

Yingzhou had originally been waiting for a battle report from another legion, but he had not expected that one of the tasks he accepted just yesterday would be completed today.

Yesterday, after Yingzhou brought five Warhound-class Titans to the frontline, he triggered tasks targeting the Demon Alien race.

【Task 1: Eliminate Great Demon Falke.】

【Task Reward: 1 Random Draw.】

【Task 2: Eliminate Great Demon Hudaiqiao.】

【Task Reward: Increased luck for the next Random Draw.】

【Task 3: Recapture the Second Defense Zone occupied by the Demon Alien race.】

【Task Reward: 1 Random Draw.】

To think that a Great Demon would be taken care of today! Judging by the progress, it must have been Vulkan who encountered Great Demon Falke.

"Demons... prepare to face the wrath of humanity!"

Just then, a communications soldier trotted up to Yingzhou, saluted respectfully, and said:

"For the Emperor! A battle report has come in from the Armageddon Steel Legion!"

Yingzhou learned from the communications soldier that the Armageddon Steel Legion was also advancing smoothly, and the number of demons encountered by other normally advancing legions had decreased significantly.

A great deal of attention had already been drawn away by the Armageddon Steel Legion and Vulkan.

"Notify Commissar Yake of the Armageddon Steel Legion and tell him to continue the advance according to the plan."

"Yes!"

Armageddon Steel Legion.

Commissar Yake stood behind a makeshift rock barricade, his signature commissar cap pulled very low, his sharp gaze fixed through the swirling smoke and sulfur steam at the wave of demons surging forward.

His weather-beaten face held no extra expression, only a will of steel.

"Hold the line! Soldiers of Armageddon!"

His voice clearly cut through the roars of the demons and the muffled thuds of distant explosions, echoing in every soldier's communication channel.

"The Emperor watches over us! Let these alien scum taste the flavor of steel and Faith!"

Responding to him was the deafening roar of engines and the screech of weapon charging.

In the center of the battlefield, that Baneblade super-heavy tank sat steadily in the middle of the defensive line.

Its main gun muzzle was emitting a destructive glow.

"Demon swarm! Azimuth 070! Distance eight hundred! Three alien beasts, alien swarm, suspected demon wizard in the rear!" the gruff voice of the Baneblade commander sounded over the comms.

"Aim for the alien beasts! Main gun volley!" Commissar Yake ordered decisively.

Boom—!!!!

The Baneblade's signature main battle cannon let out an earth-shattering roar!

A Vector Shell instantly tore through the air, accurately striking the 8-meter-tall demon beast charging at the very front.

Destructive energy exploded upon that twisted metal and flesh; the demon beast let out a pained roar, its massive body sent tumbling backward, crushing a swathe of low-level demons that couldn't dodge in time, while Emperor's Fire that could not be extinguished ignited on its body.

"Well done!"

Commissar Yake waved his right hand and praised.

"All heavy weapons! Fire at will! Infantry, hold the line! Don't let those alien scum get close!"

Following Commissar Yake's order, the defensive line instantly boiled over!

"For Armageddon! For the Emperor!"

The roars of the Armageddon Soldiers also rose along with the sound of gunfire.

The Stubber rapidly poured firepower onto the demon aliens ahead; the Armageddon Soldier operating the Stubber had sweat streaming from his temples down to his chin beneath his gas mask as he controlled the roaring Stubber.

"Come on, you scum!"

He roared, the muzzle spitting tongues of fire, dense heavy bolter fire sweeping toward the charging demon swarm.

With every long burst, one could see several lesser demons with Liaya and waving Claws being blown to pieces, their severed limbs and arms scattering in the air.

"Reload! Fast!"

The Armageddon loader beside the Armageddon gunner hissed, struggling to shove the heavy ammunition belt into the scorching feed port, the hot shell casings clattering to the ground at his feet.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Over thirty Chimera Armoured Transports wove flexibly through the flanks and gaps of the steel wall formed by the Leman Russ tanks.

Their roof-mounted multi-laser turrets spun and fired wildly, weaving a dense laser barrage that gunned down the demon swarms attempting to flank or approach the tank tracks.

The Heavy Bolters on the front of the hulls also fired frequently, picking off threats ahead.

The rear hatches of the Chimera Armoured Vehicles were open, and the embarked infantry squads had long since disembarked, using the hulls of the Chimeras as cover to fill the gaps in the fire net with Laser Guns and Hand Grenades.

Amidst this deafening roar of steel, the Armageddon infantry were the resilient Anchor Points.

Facing such a torrent of steel, the demons' counterattacks became increasingly fierce.

Beside a Leman Russ Tank, a squad of combat engineers was struggling to operate a multi-laser turret salvaged from a destroyed Chimera.

"Aim for that big guy's leg! Hit the joint!"

The Armageddon Sergeant roared his command.

The scorching Laser Beam accurately struck a melt-shield demon attempting to bypass the Leman Russ Tank.

The melt-shield demon let out a pained roar, its massive body losing balance and crashing to the ground, flattening a patch of low-level demons.

It was then locked onto by the Battle Cannon of the Leman Russ Tank and taken out in one shot.

Not far away, a Chimera Armoured Vehicle had its tracks burned out by the demons' black flames, paralyzed in place.

Facing the demon swarm about to surround this Chimera Armoured Vehicle, the crew did not abandon the vehicle, and the multi-laser turret on the roof continued to fire stubbornly.

The vehicle commander shouted into the communication device: "Infantry brothers! Cover us! Engineers! We need repairs!"

A squad of Armageddon Soldiers immediately formed a circular defensive line with the paralyzed Chimera at its core.

An Armageddon Soldier wielding a Chainsword cleaved a Lesser Demon attempting to climb onto the Chimera's hull in two; foul-smelling entrails splattered all over him, and wisps of Black Qi rose from the corpses of these Demons.

"Want to touch our vehicle? Ask my chain saw first!"

He wiped the filthy blood from his gas mask and roared.

A cunning Shadow Demon used illusions to dodge the artillery fire and suddenly appeared beside a Heavy Bolter position, its twisted Claws instantly tearing two gunners to shreds.

A third Armageddon Soldier, witnessing the tragic death of his comrades, felt the flames of vengeance ignite in his eyes beneath his gas mask; he roared as he lunged at the Horror and detonated all the Fragmentation Grenades on his body!

"For the Emperor!"

Boom!

The firelight of the explosion devoured the figures of the Shadow Demon and the Armageddon Soldier, also preventing it from rushing toward another position.

"Brother!"

Nearby Armageddon Soldiers let out cries of grief and indignation.

"For the fallen! For Armageddon! Kill them all!"

The voice of the Armageddon Sergeant carried fury, and the firing rate of the Laser Gun in his hands became even faster.
