Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 153 145. The Cursed Legion
What is the Legion of the Damned?

In fact, few people in the galaxy can tell clearly where and why these mysterious and powerful warriors come from.

Without exception, these warriors are like the Astartes, except that their flesh seems to have rotted away, leaving only pale bones, but the flames still integrate them with their armor, pouring out towards the enemies of mankind. own anger.

These fearsome warriors will appear on any of humanity's most brutal battlefields. Their armor and bullets contain powerful psychic powers, especially those that can cause powerful damage to warp creatures.

Although these warriors are all warriors of the human camp, even the human empire itself knows very little about them.

Of all the legends of the Empire, one of the most extraordinary is the Legion of the Damned.For those who know how to search for the truth, there is indelible evidence of these ghostly warriors, who suddenly appear in the most desperate battles, only to mysteriously disappear after the battle is over.

Some skeptics say that the Emperor has a loyal army that transcends this world.The Legiones of the Damned are embodiments of the Vengeful Flame. At first glance they look like ordinary Space Marines, but they soon prove to be far more powerful.There are many different accounts of them dwelling deep in matter and the warp, being desired and fantasized by the desperate, and ignited by the fires of hatred in a corner of the world.Although there are very few people who can witness their appearance, there are even fewer people who can remain sane after they appear.

However, the Astartes claimed that the Cursed Legion were the survivors of the Fire Eagle Chapter, but this is a later story, because the Fire Eagle Chapter disappeared after the Badab War, so this statement is not true.

Regarding this kind of terrifying and powerful soldiers, Gray has a very interesting opinion: in his opinion, these soldiers are human heroes who died in the long history. The souls of these soldiers were collected by the Emperor after their death. Finally, it uses its power to be recast in the subspace and fight for humanity once again.

If this is said, then everything makes sense.It's no wonder why these guys can suddenly appear on various battlefields. After all, the emperor's divinity can allow these soldiers to appear in any corner through subspace.

Now because of the intensity of the war, they joined the Ark War from the beginning.In the early stages of the war, although the Invader Chapter and the Imperial Navy successfully defeated their escort fleet and invaded the surface area, the enemy resisted very tenaciously.If the Cursed Legion hadn't suddenly appeared behind the Eldar, they would probably still be fighting in the middle of the Ark.

Hundreds of black-armored Astartes held bolters that could easily destroy any obstacle, and kept shooting at the Aeldari in front of them.Even the most elite high-level warriors and Assault Scorpions who are proficient in close combat were easily defeated.It can be said that the Cursed Legion is like a single molecule, with the blade cutting through pork easily, against the seemingly huge enemy force in front of it.

Facing such a terrifying army, any struggle seemed powerless.What's more, behind these powerful soldiers, there are countless Astra Militarum and Astartes Legions, and there are fighter jets and small naval battleships of the Human Empire flying in the sky.

A desperate samurai commander fearfully poked half of his head out and saw, like a steamroller, not only the advancing Cursed Legions and Astartes troops.She was so frightened that she retracted her head and looked again at the half-destroyed trench and almost all the wounded and wailing soldiers inside. They, the militiamen, had no way of blocking the terrifying enemy.At this time, there was only one thought in his mind, where is their real army?Why not come here to support them?Have those guys decided to betray Kane because they were greedy for life and afraid of death?

Just as she was thinking wildly, a wounded soldier with a little color hanging on his arm staggered over and said

"Dear Commander, we currently have less than 60 people on the position who can still move. Another anti-tank artillery has been destroyed, and there are only 6 anti-tank missiles left."

The desperate samurai didn't want to hear any more bad news, so he didn't ask how much ammunition his troops had, although this matter was probably a certainty.

"Well, Most High, any new orders?"

Listening to his commander's numb words, the soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva and answered tremblingly.
"No, but I guess we should continue to stand here and wait for reinforcements." The samurai did not answer the militiamen's words, but was silent for several minutes, and then said in a relieved tone.

"I hope they have finished evacuating the civilians!"

While they were talking briefly, the steel-like human army in front of them also moved forward several hundred meters.The commander was really embarrassed at this moment. His very fierce-looking mask revealed a head of red hair and a very young face.Although Ada has a long life, their age can still be vaguely seen in their faces.

"Notify all soldiers to prepare for the final battle. Even if the bloody wind is not on our side, we should still resist the invasion of the invaders!"

After saying that, she picked up the rifle at hand and shouted loudly while shooting
"For the Phoenix God! Fire!"

The raindrops hit the steel, and the only result is the crushing of the self. Although it looks tragic, it is actually of no use.

The young officer had just fired half a clip, and a shell exploded beside her, gasifying her flesh and soul stone.This line of defense, which was as thin as a silk thread, was quickly cut by the sharp blade of the empire.

If you want to deal with an enemy like an eagle, you must have soldiers as strong as steel.

Just as the Imperial soldiers continued to advance, the Cursed Legion soldiers moving beside them stopped uniformly. Before the Imperial commander could react, the Cursed Legion soldiers quickly aimed their weapons at them. Accurate direction.

That piece of land was originally a large collapsed abnormal-shaped church, and it was also the only relatively intact building here.It's not that humans have any interest in their ridiculous beliefs, it's just that this building is too obvious, so it can be used as a reference.

As time passed by, as if infected by the soldiers of the Cursed Legion, the Astartes also noticed something was wrong in the air.That kind of powerful power can be felt even from several kilometers away, that kind of terrifying subspace power.

Standing in front of his troops, Chapter Commander Mateo Bruscajin can clearly feel the powerful force. This feeling is very subtle.He tried hard to recall when he had encountered this feeling. In order to recall in his mind what kind of enemy it was that had such a strong aura, he even closed his eyes and temporarily isolated himself from the battlefield.

When the Chapter Master opened his eyes again, he finally recalled what kind of enemy this was.At the same time, the Cursed Legion, which had been silent, suddenly opened fire at the corner of the church in front of them. The bombs driven by psychic flames penetrated the fragile bone building and hit the shield.

As a section of the wall collapsed, everyone saw the giant in front of them and the soldiers at his feet.The burning giant looked at the apes in front of him angrily, and a big mouth full of sharp teeth kept spitting out angry words.

Mateo looked at the huge statue that was slowly advancing under the protection of the shield, and said slowly
"It's an avatar of Cain, we're in big trouble..."
