Chapter 413: 1 Bombardment, Everyone Retreats
The bright mark made the hearts of all Astartes who could see it tremble violently. The noisy sound array channel seemed to have become much quieter with Lin Heng's current situation.
"Damn... Belvis, did you see that..."
Clark's heart sank to the bottom. This time the situation was even more serious than the last time. Could it be that he had to perform some forbidden evil magic to solve it?
"I see. Bring him back. I believe he won't fall into the abyss. He is much stronger than me..."
"What do you mean, what's stronger than you?" Clark was a little confused.
"The Black Ship has enough equipment to stabilize him, and the Grey Knights know the next plan, as long as they can bring him back."
Clark let out a long breath, then clenched the explosive spear in his hand, rushed forward and said:
"The pursuit plan is complete, the target has been found, now start the recapture plan and complete the recovery of the target!"
The lair, which was already in dire straits and in a mess, immediately became even more frenzied after Judge Clark gave the order.
Lin Heng was the most dedicated warrior at this moment. The substantial flame did not even need to touch the swarm of insects to force them to retreat in all directions.
Except for those large units, which can move forward with their thick skin and strong muscles, all they can show is ridiculous recklessness.
One black and one white crossed circles, and the executioner split into two and slid out. The gushing blood bathed Lin Heng's body, and the steaming blood was emitting in the air, which further highlighted the weirdness of the white-toothed smile.
The Hive Tyrant roared hard, and a pair of bloody bone knives cut off the XV46 combat uniform, facing the scarlet body with scarlet blood.
However, just look at the forward step, the horizontal cut, the bow step, and the diagonal slash. Each sword and knife move is so fast that it is difficult to follow with the naked eye.
“Dang! Dang! Puff!”
There were two loud bangs, and the next sword pierced into the insect's body with a "pop". When the tyrant screamed in pain, Lin Heng turned over and sat on his head, and the swords in his hands performed a precise craniotomy on the opponent, regardless of his life or death.
With a "plop", the tyrant fell to the ground. Turning around, he saw Lin Heng flying into the air. The swarm of insects rushed towards the center of the battlefield, and the other side accepted all comers without caring about the number.
He was like a harvesting machine in the wheat field, running at a speed of more than ten meters per second. The fallen wheat stalks were flying all over the sky and his rotating limbs were dripping with red rain.
Dozens of wriggling tubes were hanging above the nest cavity. They were originally used as pipes to connect the insect ships in the nest pool on the ground, but they had been shattered by the coalition forces' targeted firepower.
However, unexpectedly, the thing was transformed by the mothership, and a huge sac clamp was immediately ejected from the broken cavity.
With "bang bang", the capsule clips burst open and the Tyrant Guards launched a charge, using their thick shells to block the attack of the artillery shells.
The people felt increasingly chilled by the sight of the balloons flying all over the sky, but when Clark really realized why Lin Heng was so crazy that he was rushing towards the hill the size of a small mountain.
She finally understood that this place was the uterus for producing insect ships, and the strange bulge that looked like a tumor was an insect ship the size of a frigate that was about to be born.
"Maintain the manpower and consume Lin Heng's physical strength. Everyone should occupy the surrounding positions and place explosives to ensure a safe retreat!
Shit, I'm an alien inquisitor, why didn't I realize this sooner!"
“Puff…Puff…Puff!”
It sounded like some kind of air leak, probably because the membrane on the outside of the insect ship was destroyed during the bombardment, and the amniotic fluid with blood began to spurt out very obviously.
“Swish…swish…swish!”
The swarms of insects that were bombarded from a distance on the hills and valleys fled in panic, but the violent shaking shook them away, causing them to tumble over and over in panic.
The tearing sound reached everyone's ears, and the broken film heralded the arrival of new life.
When that clear voice echoed in the nest cavity, several scarlet whirlwinds visible to the naked eye appeared around Lin Heng's body. Then his body began to rise steadily, and his height reached 5 meters while soaring.
With a "bang", the old woman Yu Tailun collided with each other. While spinning and flying, "bang bang" two punches hit each other's skull, cracking it.
And this is not over yet, the eight-pointed star symbol on his forehead became brighter and brighter, spiritual energy surged around his body, and the body of the old woman in his grasp began to fold and twist under the power of chaos.
In less than three seconds, a twisted spear that was twenty meters long and as thick as a thigh began to exude an evil smell.
The wriggling muscles can even be seen twisting with the naked eye, and each muscle fiber is pulling and pushing out explosive force.
There was a loud "bang" and the speed of the spear exceeded Mach 1. The sonic boom directly killed nearly a hundred gargoyles in the surrounding area.
Then there was another "bang" sound, and the spear exploded directly, revealing a huge pit about 20 meters wide above the hill.
The exploding pit of flesh and blood completely tore the membrane apart, and at this moment the battleship-sized insect ship that was being ripened uttered its first cry.
"ZZAAAAAKAAAAAA!!!!!"
The prematurely ripened insect ship gave up the development of flesh and bones. The flesh and blood melted and flowed like fermentation, and the sharp mouthparts gradually became more hideous in the dripping flesh.
This guy was born for only one thing, and that is to use his short life to blast out biomass shells that change the situation of the battle.
Lin Heng knew, Clark knew, and now everyone knew.
"Oh!"
Unfortunately, no one can stop it.
Before Clark could even give the order to retreat, she saw a blue figure in the blazing light, blocking some of the light in front of her.
That was Lin Heng. His body was so huge, and his spiritual energy was like waves, trying to block the sun-like cannonballs.
"BOOM!"
No matter whether they were Tau, humans or Tyranids, when the biomass light ball exploded, a light curtain as dazzling as the sun enveloped all living things.
The brightness of the polar day is no different from the darkness of the eternal night. All polarized light equipment is running at full capacity, and all modified organs are working hard to maintain their function.
The vision was plundered, the hearing was blocked, and the nest was filled with a tense feeling of searching. Whether they were humans or insects, they were all exploring the slightest movement around them.
If he felt a human-like body, he would feel relieved; if he felt the cold chitinous shell, he would draw his knife and stab it through.
The brief silence lasted for a year. When the Zerg mothership stopped shaking and the light faded, leaving a mess on the ground, which lasted about ten seconds, the burning pit of flesh finally appeared in front of everyone.
The poisonous gas emitted by the burning caused the alarms in the Tau combat suits to sound loudly, and the Thinkers in the power armor were also constantly sounding the alarm. Their time was getting scarcer.
The survivors looked towards the center of the battlefield, constantly searching for that figure, the one rushing towards the most dangerous place.
In the hundred-meter-long burning flesh pit, at the very center of the impact point, the wriggling tumor looked like a terrifying creature from another world.
Lin Heng's figure has disappeared, replaced by a chaos egg that is absorbing free energy and continuously growing stronger.
The flesh and blood tissue continued to grow, but no one knew whether it would still be in human form after it recovered. The Grey Knight knew that if this continued, Lin Heng would fall into the abyss forever.
"Haha, he's harder to kill than a bug. Take him away!"
Clark was a little excited. Although the situation might not be a good sign, at least Lin Heng would be much easier to take away in this state.
Thus, the eighteen minds completed the communication in an instant, and Ankoshil, with the blessing of more than a dozen psychic BUFF force fields, once again came to the center of the battlefield through the starry sky gate.
The power claws in his hands flashed coldly, and the stubborn python that was shuttling across the ground was chopped to pieces on the spot. This time, the surging swarm of insects immediately jumped into the meat pit. Their goal was also very clear, to swallow the Chaos Egg that gave birth to Lin Heng.
The Grey Knights arrived shortly afterwards, they stretched out their hands and covered the surface of the Chaos Egg, layers of psychic power began to attach, and as the leader severed the connection between the egg sac and the flesh and blood of the mothership, the huge flesh ball moved to the outside world under the cover of everyone.
The explosion intensified, and the previously buried miniature nuclear explosives were immediately activated. This small and precise explosive was most suitable for blasting the main structure of a building.
The explosions continued almost non-stop, and the more difficult part of the battle began. Less than half of the soldiers were left to cover the team's retreat, using their flesh and blood to block the overwhelming swarm of insects.
"ZAAAAAKAAAAA!"
"Detonate them all!"
"Stop the hole on the right!"
"Cesar is dead, Joe, take his place!"
"Watch out for the Licat! Jack, it's behind you!"
"If it was the Wolf King Saint Father, he would definitely take the responsibility of covering for him."
"Brothers, let us sing our slogan!"
"Bathed in fire, forged in anvil!"
"Sword of the Empire, slaughter the aliens!"
"For the Empire! For the God-Emperor!"
"KAAAAAZAAAAA!"
...
'For me, come and experience the ever-changing world...'
'Strength..the source of victory.'
'The opposite of life is death...and the opposite of death is also life.'
'RUA..Fuck them..Fuck them!'
When those strange and bizarre sounds lingered in his ears, Lin Heng's heart was not too shaken. After all, he was no longer the wild boy who had just started out. Now he at least had the ability to see the world behind it.
He just treated those endless calls as wind passing by his ears, waiting for the voice he really wanted to hear in this different dimension where there was no concept of time.
He turned a deaf ear and looked straight ahead, thinking about how to return and what difficulties he would face if he could return.
"Lin Heng... don't let our... hard work go to waste... wake up!"
That kind of cold emotion brought him the most real heartbeat, and the familiar voice brought him a glow behind him.
Lin Heng turned around and extended his middle finger to the phantoms, then turned around and floated towards the crack that was glowing with a faint golden light. As the light engulfed him, the feeling of nothingness gradually diminished, a feeling of support rose from his back, and a cold touch began to feed back from his skin.
"Finally back..."
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Five clear and heavy kneeling sounds made Lin Heng's vision gradually adapt to the light in the cabin. In the room full of sacred prayers and unknown spells, nine Grey Knights were standing breathlessly, and five of them were kneeling on the ground struggling to hold on.
But when they saw that Lin Heng had truly revived, they seemed to have lost all their strength, and finally fell to the ground with a thump.
"What is the cost?"
Lin Heng felt as if there was a breath stuck in his chest. After taking a breath for a while, he asked a serious question.
"The Star Fortress was damaged by 19% of its area, and the remaining ships were scrapped by more than 60%. As for the remaining dozen ships...it doesn't matter. It's good enough that not all of them died.
Of the 600 Astartes who boarded the ship, less than 90 returned. There were several million other personnel... which is actually a small number.
During the retreat, three Grey Knights were left behind forever, and now five more have been seriously injured. The price they paid is... the loss of their psychic powers."
Belvis told the whole situation and patted the naked Lin Heng on the shoulder. This way of comforting him really suited her.
Lin Heng knelt on the ground, looking at the Grey Knights trying to get up, with mixed feelings in his heart. The Grey Knights have no psychic power...
"Don't feel sorry for us. We are much luckier than our predecessors. At least we can still fight and kill the enemy with halberds in hand. We can also recite prayers and educate new soldiers. This is not a problem."
Lin Heng recognized the person who was speaking. He was the first Grey Knight he had ever met and a semi-master who had taught him a lot of psychic skills.
"Now, let me ask you again, do you think I still have the power to decide other people's life and death?"
Lin Heng looked at Belvis, helplessly he could only let out a long sigh.
"But fortunately, your surprise attack was very useful. Although we did not kill the hive mothership, it did greatly slow down the speed of the Zerg's attack.
With the Tau's corpse collection plan also contributing, 38% of the Tyranids were brought back by us. This is the first time that the score is evenly split..."
It can be seen that Belvis is in a good mood, but Lin Heng suddenly remembered Yuan Jian who came with him, and hurriedly asked about the other party's situation.
"Foresight? He's not dead, but he's not having a good time either. He's been imprisoned by the clan leader of the Kor'Tar family world, and the troops he brought are cursing and preparing to take action.
Although there are still many things that need to be dealt with, we really don't have time to wait. The reinforcements of the Tau will arrive soon, and it will be difficult for the Zerg mothership to organize a larger attack in the near future.
We need to leave quickly, Macragge has sent a message that someone is waiting there."
Lin Heng took a deep breath and guessed the guy’s identity.
"Robert Guilliman."
