Chapter 738: For the Blood of Sanguinius (2)

"Suppress them!"

Tyri growled from behind his shield, bearing the immense impact as the shield crackled.

The Blood Angels warriors behind him immediately poked their Bolters out from the sides and top of the shield, suppressing the two fire teams on the flank and silencing several Pulse Rifles.

Seeing the enemy's firepower weaken, Tyri immediately raised his Storm Shield and charged first toward the nearest fire point.

Just then, a high-energy beam shot in from afar, passing over the top of Tyri's shield; the scorching airflow blurred his helmet's visor for an instant.

Another continuous beam struck his shield, emitting a crackling sound.

"Damn high-energy cannon! Find it!"

Tyri roared, his charging footsteps never faltering.

Arcs of electricity from the high-energy beam danced on the surface of the Storm Shield, crackling loudly, while Tyri held the impact steady with his arm.

"Cover the advance! Suppress the left!"

As Tyri's order was issued, the Blood Angels Space Marines behind him reacted instantly.

Two warriors immediately used precise three-round Bolter bursts to violently suppress the Cyberk soldiers peeking out to shoot from behind the rocks on the left; the Bolter shells sent rock fragments flying, and one firing Cyberk soldier was struck by several rounds, his head blown apart directly.

Taking advantage of this brief gap in firepower, Tyri held up his Storm Shield and charged a few steps to the nearest fire point—behind a waist-high rock.

10 Cyberk soldiers were relying on the rock to fire.

"Hand Grenade!"

Tyri gave a low roar, his shield thrusting forward violently, slamming into the rock and shaking it, disrupting the enemies' aim.

At the same time, the warriors behind him threw a Fragmentation Grenade in tacit coordination; the grenade traced an arc, precisely clearing the shield and landing behind the rock.

Boom!

The explosion's shockwave and shrapnel swept behind the cover.

One Cyberk soldier was blown into scattered parts, while another stood up shakily, the muzzle of his Pulse Rifle still smoking.

"Purge!"

Tyri barked, and the massive Storm Shield swung horizontally with force!

The heavy Storm Shield smashed fiercely into that Cyberk soldier's chest plate!

Crack! Bang!

The sound of metal twisting and shattering rang out!

The Energy Arm Shield held up by that Cyberk soldier lasted less than two seconds before overloading and shattering; his pupils constricted, unable to imagine that this seemingly archaic shield could possess such power.

The next second, the Cyberk soldier's entire upper body was severely deformed, sent flying directly by the Storm Shield, and crashed into the rocks behind, turning into a pile of sparking scrap metal.

"Fire point cleared!"

Tyri retracted his shield, not even looking at the wreckage at his feet; his gaze immediately locked onto the direction from which the high-energy beam had come, and he raised his shield again, pointing it toward the source of the threat.

"Next target! That high-energy cannon position! With me!"

"For the blood of Sanguinius!"

The battle fell into a fierce stalemate.

The tactical coordination and individual martial prowess of the Blood Angels caused heavy losses for the Cyberk, but the resistance of the Cyberk soldiers and the threat of their weapons remained constant.

Sanguinius unleashed a storm of destruction deep within the enemy formation, but every one of his advances drew even denser concentrated fire.

One Blood Angels Space Marine was struck in the chest plate by several Pulse Beams simultaneously; although the armor was not completely penetrated, several holes had been melted into it.

Another warrior's Jump Pack was grazed by a high-energy beam, black smoke pouring from the exhaust, forcing him to make an emergency landing.

Cyberk drones, under the cover of the chaotic battlefield and sandstorm, pounced on the Blood Angels from every tricky angle.

One drone took advantage of the moment a Blood Angels Space Marine swung his Chainsword to attack an enemy in front, aiming at the power joint of the warrior's leg! The muzzle at its front emitted a blue-white glow.

Zzzzt—!

The high-temperature melta beam instantly made contact with the protective layer of the Power Armor's knee joint, emitting a scorching sound!

The hard Ceramite and Jinjin rapidly turned red and softened under the terrifying heat!

Although it failed to melt through immediately, the intense burning pain and the sudden decrease in joint flexibility caused the Blood Angels Space Marine's movements to lag.

"Damn bug!"

The Blood Angels Space Marine roared, forcefully twisting his body and swinging his weaponless hand down rapidly, smashing this Cyberk drone directly into the ground; the drone's body was deformed, sparking with electricity.

Another drone dived from above, locking its target onto the side of the helmet of a warrior who was precisely picking off targets with his Bolter.

Bang! Zzzzt—!

Sensing danger, the Blood Angels Space Marine jerked his head to the side! He dodged a high-temperature melta beam.

He then quickly turned his muzzle and blew that Cyberk drone apart.

Several drones discovered the Blood Angels Space Marine who had been forced into an emergency landing and was temporarily isolated due to his damaged Jump Pack.

They swarmed in!

Some attacked his leg joints in an attempt to make him lose his balance, some used a Rexin Qiegeqi to frantically scorch the arm armor he was using to block, and others tried to circle behind to attack the damaged part of his pack!

"Get away!"

The isolated Blood Angels Space Marine brandished his Chainsword, its teeth shredding a drone that had gotten too close into pieces!

Bang bang bang!

"Flank! Clear those flying machines!"

A Captain of a nearby squad discovered the isolated Blood Angels Space Marine and immediately issued the order.

The Blood Angels Space Marines of the squad immediately turned their Bolter muzzles and began picking off the harassing Cyberk drones in the sky.

Bang bang bang bang!

The Bolter shells exploded in the air! Several drones that couldn't dodge in time were blown apart mid-air, falling as small, burning Fireballs.

The other drones were suppressed and temporarily scattered.

"Clear left! Continue the advance!"

The Captain confirmed the threat was temporarily neutralized and immediately shifted his fire back to the front.

That lone Blood Angels Space Marine also took the opportunity to break free from the entanglement and strode toward the squad.

"Warriors of Tallarn!"

Captain Hakimu's voice was hoarse with excitement and ecstasy; he saw the hope of a reversal, and even more, the opportunity to avenge his brothers.

"The Angel is with us! For our fallen brothers! For the Emperor! Counterattack! Tear these Aliens to shreds!"

"For the Emperor! The sandstorm is my shield!!!"

The surviving Tallarn warriors erupted with a thunderous roar!

All the accumulated grief and despair instantly transformed into a monstrous rage!

From behind rocks, atop sand dunes, in gullies, and beside armored wreckage, the surviving Tallarn soldiers suddenly leaned out, crazily pouring all their laser beams, solid-shot bolter rounds, the flames of flamethrowers, and their final Fragmentation Grenades onto the Cyberk Infantry, whose formation had been thrown into chaos by the Blood Angels' charge!

Three forces converged into an unstoppable torrent of Steel, instantly checking and shattering the fierce offensive momentum of the Cyberk reinforcements.

The scales of the battlefield, under the shadow of the Angel's wings, began to tilt toward the Human side.
