Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords! - Chapter 497

Chapter 495 06.0494: ‘Guardian of the Temple’

bite! ——

A double-headed war club with Kroot’s characteristics was cut off by a sword. The unheld part continued to spin and smashed a small gold sculpture of the Angel of Death standing on a Roman column.

“Ah!!!!” This abominable man-eating alien with its weapons cut off opened its beak stained with human flesh, and let out an unpleasant howl like a crow, stinging the eardrums of the nuns.

It has been stimulated by the most primitive desires of flesh and blood. It just wants to knock the tall female warrior in front of it to the ground and devour the flesh and blood.

But it quickly took a toll.

After the female court official struck with her shield, she cut off the Klute’s head with a backhand sword, ending the frightening noise, and said in a hoarse and low voice:

“I remember that it was a three-party melee. The Sisters of the Holy Rose, the Scarlet Demon’s army, these cannibal aliens and the blue-blooded hypocrites were fighting fiercely on a planet called Tayloran.”

Arabella’s eyes sparkled when she heard the word ‘Tylan’.

“The war situation at that time was very unfavorable to us. Among the servants of the Scarlet Demon were traitorous Space Marines, and these aliens had bluffing battle mechs. All we had was faith and flesh and blood.

I was still a novice nun at that time, and I knew nothing but roaring prayers and firing. I’ve lost count of how many times I pulled the trigger that day, or how many enemies of the Emperor I killed.

It was in that battle that you lost your parents, Arabella, and I found you who survived on a battlefield littered with corpses.

Then, as your guide, I will bring you into the order. The nun named you Arabella, she said, hoping that you would be as pure and innocent as our patron saint, Saint Arabella.

From that day on, you and I call each other sisters. Just as the nun expected, we have witnessed that you have become a kind-hearted and devout nun. “

Arabella was silent, looking at Court Officer Diana with admiration and love, and then continued to provide emergency treatment for the seriously injured sister under her cover.

“You have grown up, sister. Although I am often not by your side as you grow up, I always support your vision.

Anglican clergy often criticize us for being a bunch of idealists.

But the Emperor gave us the sacred pure white armor, as well as the holy bolter and chain sword, isn’t it for us to fight to protect the only remaining beauty in the world?

Go ahead and do it, sister, I’ll cover you. “

The court officer assumed a guarding stance with a shield, raised his long sword, and gave orders in a loud voice: “Sisters in battle, retreat step by step to regroup! Suppress fire! Heavenly guards, gather around me to cover the retreat!”

The battle sisters who were neatly lined up in a battle line slowly retreated, and the heavenly guards who also held shields and swords gathered around her, forming a shield wall to cover the retreat.

This group of battle nuns known as the ‘Celestial Guards’ are elites selected from the pure angels and are the guardians of the temple of the Armed Sisters.

Its battlefield positioning is like that of the Space Marine’s Sword Guard Veteran.

(Our Order of the Martyred Ladies likes to have power hammers, and the Sisters of the Holy Rose here like to have power swords)

Seeing the delicious food in his mouth, Klute wanted to retreat to the rear and resist, screaming and increasing his offensive.

The heavenly guards relied on the steps to form a shield wall to block the oncoming Kroot.

Seizing the opportunity, Arabella immediately cooperated with the surrounding sisters in pairs to drag the nuns lying on the ground next to them back behind the cathedral door.

But as the offensive intensified, the shield wall was forced to become narrower.

The Battle Sisters holding bolt guns stood on higher steps, kneeling in one row and two in rows, firing alternately in groups to ensure continuous firepower.

But the Kroot also have pulse weapons.

Seeing the mouth of a cooked duck wanting to fly, these cannibal alien gunmen opened fire on the nuns from a distance.

The plasma pulse beam instantly penetrated the soft rivet armor on their abdomens.

Several battle sisters fell to the ground instantly, lost control of their bodies in severe pain, and rolled down the stairs.

Sister Arabella, who was carrying the injured sister, had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately grabbed the two people who were about to roll down the stairs.

In order to prevent the sisters’ bodies from being desecrated by the abominable aliens, the Seraphs jumped down the stairs with their double guns and spray packs. They used the flames of the spray packs and fast guns to suppress the wave of Kroot who rushed up. In order to rescue the wounded, The sisters bought time.

“All move in!” The court official turned his head and shouted, then turned his head and gave orders to the Heavenly Sacred Guards beside him:

“push!”

Boom!

The storm shield wall crashed forward uniformly, taking advantage of the height difference to force the oncoming Kroot back.

The impact of the charged storm shield cannot be underestimated. The extremely high surface acceleration can instantly crush all the ribs of a person and smash the internal organs.

The Kroot let out an ugly scream and rolled down, knocking down their fellow humans behind them like bowling balls.

“prick!”

Swish, brush, brush!

A row of charged silver power swords stretched out from behind the shield and stabbed at the Kroot who was stepping on the bodies of their companions and leaping towards them.

In a row of flashing lightning, these Kroot people were either chopped off in the air or pierced by sharp swords.

Orange blood splashed on the silver armor and white faces of the heavenly guards, and broken organs splashed on their smooth black straight short hair, but they didn’t care about it.

“shoot!”

They opened their shields in an instant, and before the Kroot volleys of guns could be fired, they shattered them with the bolters of the shield-bearers.

When the Kroot people in the front row saw them opening their shields, they immediately tried to take advantage of the opportunity to break through.

“push!”

These fast guns fired at a very fast rate. After emptying their ammunition, they uniformly retracted their shields under the instructions of the court officials, and used the stored energy of the storm shields to knock down the Kroot who had rashly stepped forward.

They repeated these tactical moves again and again, gradually retreating, stepping on the white marble stairs of the cathedral, ascending and retreating.

(Arabella belongs to the rank of clean angel, which can also be called the goddess of heaven)

——

“Captain, the Epic is approaching the target. There are signals from multiple enemy ships in the distance around us. But it is strange that these Kroot do not seem to contact the Tau fleet to assist in the strangulation.” First Officer Collingwood reported.

“Miss Tey.”

Now, as long as there is information related to aliens, Horatio will ask this new female judge who claims to be on a united front with him.

“This situation is not without precedent.” Thei came over with a smile, and supported the railing in front of the captain’s platform, which Horatio ordered to be removed and then raised again to the level of the chest, and explained:

“The Tau, especially the Ether and Water clans, are actually very taboo about the cannibalism of the Kroot people, and have made very strict regulations.

However, as long as there is no Tau supervision, no one will comply. “

She raised her eyebrows and revealed the motives of these Kroots in a few words.

“Moreover, even if they are all Kroot, different ethnic groups have different customs and eating habits, so their appearance is also different. Different ethnic groups do not move together, and a single ethnic group usually only lives together in one place. On the Kroot ball. That is the flying machine of their species.

Therefore, Captain, you may not encounter too many targets. It is possible that there is only one spherical target, and you happen to have a nuclear detonation torpedo. “

“Thank you for your explanation, Miss Thei, it’s great to have you here.”

Hearing the captain’s praise, the young girl inquisitor raised her head proudly and said slightly proudly: “I said, you will never be able to do without me in the future, captain.”

Horatio smiled back: “So far, yes. Your knowledge and erudition are very useful.”

After coaxing Thei, he looked into the void ahead and gave orders to the lower ship maneuvering platform: “Navigation department! Calibrate the route! The power department allows a maximum knot speed of 10 void knots. We rushed to the scene as quickly as possible! May the Emperor bless us to arrive in time.”

“Yes! Captain!”

“Course calibration, 3 degrees!”

“Power acceleration, allowing a maximum knot speed of 10 void knots!”

After a shift break and a rich victory meal, the officers and warrant officers regained their usual high morale.
