Chapter 747: White Lightning Galloping Across the Wilderness (2)
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of the Bolter was extremely clear!
Ram saw with his own eyes that the white figure raised his hand to fire single shots while moving at high speed; the heads of three Cyberk soldiers flanking them in the distance exploded in response, and their metallic bodies fell stiffly!
"The Emperor protects!"
The Valhalla Warrior operating the Stubber gasped, an unbelievable light erupting in his eyes.
"That is... who is that?!"
"White... Power Armor... bike..."
A name flashed through Ram's mind in an instant.
Just then, the white figure discovered the most threatening target—a Cyberk Heavy Energy Cannon set up on slightly higher ground, its muzzle flashing with a dangerous light, aimed at the core area of the wreckage where they were hiding!
The white bike soared directly into the air, and a humming Chain Saw appeared in his hand!
"Obstacle!"
A crescent-like cold light tore through the air!
Crack! Boom—!!!
That Energy Cannon, along with its operator, was split in two under the violent Chain Saw!
Immediately following was a deafening secondary explosion! A towering Fireball instantly swallowed that firing point!
Time seemed to freeze for an instant.
"It's... it's reinforcements!"
A Valhalla Warrior roared, his voice cracking from excitement!
"Primarch!"
The Valhalla Warrior operating the Stubber roared with all his might; he struggled to stand straight, fanatical flames burning in his eyes, almost splitting his eye sockets.
"It is Lord Jaghatai Khan! The Emperor protects! It is the Primarch!"
"Khan! Khan! Khan!"
The surviving Valhalla Warriors instantly erupted into a heaven-shaking roar, mixed with ecstasy, excitement, and the fury of having survived a disaster!
This roar overwhelmed pain and exhaustion! They saw it! They saw the Primarch, legendary, swift as a storm, and strong as the Rock!
He tore through the enemy's encirclement at the most desperate moment!
"Don't just stand there!"
Jaghatai Khan's majestic voice sounded again; the Chain Saw in his hand, still dripping with molten metal, pointed clearly at the gap torn in the Cyberk encirclement due to his charge.
"Now! Break out in that direction! Reorganize the defensive line! Move!"
"Did you hear that?!"
Ram felt a long-lost strength surge through his body; he stood up abruptly, pulled up the Valhalla Warrior beside him, and roared with all his might, his voice even drowning out the surrounding cheers.
"Follow Lord Khan closely! Charge at the gap! For the Emperor! For Valhalla! Charge!!!"
"For the Emperor! For Valhalla! Charge!!!"
All the surviving Valhalla Warriors let out the same roar!
They burst forth with astonishing speed, launching a charge toward the gap indicated by the Khan.
The Laser Guns in their hands fired at the Cyberk soldiers attempting to close in from both sides.
Jaghatai shuttled back and forth on the flank, riding his white Assault Bike, alternating between his Bolter Pistol and Chain Saw to clear out Cyberk soldiers trying to close the encirclement again, or using the bike's high-speed impact to send enemies blocking his path flying!
When Ram and the last few soldiers stumbled out of the encirclement and retreated to a highland protected by rocks.
He looked back and saw that white Jaghatai stopped at the edge of the highland, the sunlight spilling onto his white Power Armor and that humming Chain Saw, reflecting a sacred and majestic light.
In the distance, Cyberk soldiers were still continuing their pursuit.
A Valhalla Warrior slumped beside Ram, "Of... officer... is that... the Primarch?"
Ram breathed heavily, looking at that towering figure, and nodded vigorously.
"That's right, kid. That is the Emperor's son, Lord Jaghatai Khan.
Today, we survived... because the Emperor did not abandon his warriors!"
Jaghatai Khan parked his bike at the edge of the highland, scanned the regrouping Valhalla Warriors, then looked at the Cyberk pursuers getting closer in the distance, the corners of his mouth curling into that smile again.
"That's more like it."
He patted his beloved Assault Bike.
"Next, it's time to make these Cyberk Aliens suffer!"
Jaghatai Khan's words stirred the fighting spirit of the Valhalla Warriors.
Relying on the rocks of the highland, they quickly set up a defensive line.
"Hold the line! Aim for the joints and sensors! Concentrate fire, overload their Energy Arm Shields!"
Ram leaned against the rock, quickly changing the Charging Pack of his Laser Gun, and shouted loudly.
The surviving Valhalla Warriors also replied in unison.
"For the Emperor!"
Jaghatai Khan drove his Assault Bike out from the flank again.
He operated the Assault Bike with one hand, and the Bolter in his other hand began to fire.
Bang, bang, bang!
Every single shot was accompanied by the head of a Cyberk soldier in the distance exploding, or metal fragments being torn from joint connections.
His shots specifically targeted those front-line units attempting to set up weapons or command squads.
When the Cyberk tried to concentrate fire to cover him, the Khan could always dodge it by relying on the maneuverability of the Assault Bike.
The resisted Cyberk began to change their offensive strategy.
They utilized the terrain to disperse, conducting suppressive fire from multiple angles while dispatching several squads to attempt a flanking maneuver on the highland's side.
"Sir! On the right! They are trying to get around!"
A sharp-eyed Valhalla soldier shouted a warning.
Leman's heart sank; they did not have many men left and simply could not spare the forces to intercept the flank!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just then, a series of dull shelling sounds came from behind the Cyberk pursuers!
The rear and flanks of the Cyberk forces were instantly plunged into a sea of fire!
More than twenty Chimera Armored Vehicles and Leman Russ Tanks painted in Catachan jungle camouflage charged toward this side!
The heavy weapons mounted on their hulls opened fire on the Cyberk soldiers who had exposed their backs.
The armored vehicle hatches opened, Catachan Jungle Fighters leaped out, and the Laser Guns and flamethrowers in their hands launched an attack on the Cyberk Infantry!
"It's Catachan! The brothers from Catachan are here!"
Leman was so excited he almost jumped up.
The sudden firepower strike caused the Cyberk forces to begin diverting troops to resist the armored units in the rear.
