The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Chapter 2855: The Military Campaign (2)

“Is that all it is.”

Seeing the alien writhing and struggling on the ground, clutching its severed hand, Hayes put down his gun, and the young soldiers beside him rushed forward with a roar.

“For the Emperor!”

Little Fettin was the first to rush to the gene-stealer, then smashed his head with the butt of his gun. At first, they were shocked by the bloody scene, then disgusted, and now they were angry and curious. They all wanted to take a closer look at what the enemy looked like.

“Alien scum! Die!”

Another recruit rushed over and kicked the gene-stealer in the ribs, kicking a piece of glass into his body, causing him to roar in pain.

In the next second, a rain of gun butts and boots fell on him, and he could only curl up into a ball.

“Alright, alright! Don't waste your energy!”

Hayes pushed the soldiers away, then stepped on the alien's head and bent down slightly.

“With just you few, you definitely can't break through this manor. Tell me, where are the others? Where are your accomplices, and where are the others in the manor?”

The man's twisted face, contaminated by the alien, revealed a crazy smile. He opened his mouth, constantly overflowing with blood, and hissed:

“The Star Emperor is coming, you vampires will all die! You will all die!”

Suddenly, a tense voice came from Hayes's communicator.

“Captain, we've detected anomalies in the woods to the north... Enemies! Close the gate! Quick!”

As the sound of gunfire and shouts filled the communicator, Hayes was also filled with the dying gene-stealer's mad laughter. He immediately realized what was happening.

“Damn it! This is a trap! They knew we were coming!”

With that, he shot the alien's head directly, then ran towards the upper floors of the mansion while shouting loudly into the communicator:

“Close all the doors of the manor! Block them with armored vehicles, but don't turn them off, make sure they can be started at any time!”

Then he pointed to a few soldiers beside him.

“You guys go check if there are any basements or underground passages here. If you find any, blow them up immediately.”

“Yes!”

“You dozen or so, carry all these tables and chairs out and use them as footrests to create shooting points on the walls.”

At this time, the machine gun deployed in the manor's windmill also began to roar, spraying azure bullets into the woods outside the wall. As part of the equipment reform, Vatish's company's support firepower was changed from the old live ammunition machine guns to plasma machine guns. Although they became heavier, the firepower also experienced a qualitative leap.

Hayes ran quickly to the highest floor of the manor, a very girly pink room, then opened the window, jumped out, and stepped on the tiles to the edge of the spire. This was the highest position in the entire area, and he could see the situation at a glance.

The entire manor was located next to a main road. There was a pond to the south, so there was basically no need to worry. Both sides were open ground. There was a forest to the north, where the gene-stealers were hiding, waiting for the “fish” to take the bait. At this time, Hayes could clearly see countless ragged enemies, holding primitive weapons and even farm tools, howling and rushing out. There were also some using guns, who looked more elite and stronger. Most of them were hybrid species, and no purebred species appeared.

During the time on the transport ship, the most officers had to learn was the analysis of enemy entries and species characteristics. Among them, gene-stealers were mainly divided into three types...

Defiler species, most similar to humans.

Hybrid species, already with an extra arm.

Purebred species, looking completely like aliens.

Although the alien enemies' attacks were fierce, when dense plasma swept across their battle lines, clusters of blood mist sprayed into the sky, and the huge power directly tore apart their fallen bodies.

At this time, his communicator rang.

“Captain, we found a large number of corpses in the basement, all of them servants. There is a small secret door, and we have blown it up.”

“Check again carefully.”

However, at this time, Hayes suddenly remembered something. Logically speaking, the landlord's family should have a lot of bodyguards, but why were there only the corpses of servants?

“Did you see the bodies of the bodyguards?”

“Report Captain, no!”

“Strange.”

Although he had doubts in his mind, Hayes knew that his attention must be on the battlefield.

“Mortar squad, go to the terrace on the third floor of the mansion. Grenade team, go to my location, set up at the highest point!”

Following Hayes's instructions, the squad carrying mortars rushed to a wide terrace on the third floor of the mansion like lightning, then kicked away all obstacles and quickly deployed three mortars. The eight people carrying two portable grenade launchers also hurried up. Because the roof was uneven, it took a lot of time to adjust the brackets. Hayes could only focus his attention on the mortar squad.

“Load anti-infantry airburst rounds.”

“Yes! Anti-infantry airburst rounds!”

Each mortar was manned by three soldiers. After the gunner aimed and adjusted the parameters using tactical binoculars, the launcher took a special ammunition from the box behind the ammunition handler. This mortar was also a “special supply” for the Legion. The cannon itself was nothing special, but it used some advanced materials, and its weight was one-third less than the traditional Imperial mortar. Its key was the shells, including small target killing shells specially designed to fight the Tyranids.

“Distance 150, direct fire, fire!”

Accompanied by a slight whistling sound, three mortars crossed the high wall of the manor. When they reached about six meters above the charging gene-stealers, they suddenly exploded, showering down a rain of death composed of countless deadly metal particles.

In an instant, screams resounded through the sky, and the gene-stealers within a hundred meters were all rolling on the ground in a bloody mess, but this did not stop the followers from continuing to charge.

“Fire!”

Another three shots, another burst of iron rain of death, hundreds of gene-stealers fell to the ground in an instant, and finally they learned to be smart and began to disperse.

“Hit those beasts!”

The soldiers had already stood on the walls with the help of the tables and chairs they had moved, and began to attack the enemies to the north. Dazzling beams of light crossed the air, burning through cloaks and robes, penetrating skin and flesh, causing one frantically roaring gene-stealer after another to fall. Although it was the first time on the battlefield, many people were obviously nervous, but the effect of long-term and continuous military training also played out. Although their hands were shaking a little, the recruits' shooting accuracy was unusually high, and some soldiers even managed to get headshots almost every time.

The enemy's seemingly fierce offensive was instantly suppressed, but Hayes did not take it lightly. He picked up the binoculars and looked in other directions, and soon discovered the clues.

“Why are there so many bubbles in the pond? Not good! They are lurking here. Mortar squad, change targets, fire at the pond. Tank, take people to defend the south side!”

As the mortar squad's three shells fell into the pond and stirred up bursts of exploding water, broken corpses floated to the surface, and purple alien pus also polluted the pond.

“For the Star Emperor!!!”

In the next second, a large number of gene-stealers emerged from the water. They were wearing sophisticated protective gear, about dozens of them, and also had submachine guns and machine guns, constantly shooting at the walls, covering the climbers holding iron hooks who went straight to the manor a hundred meters away.

Hayes finally knew where the missing manor bodyguards had gone. It turned out that they had betrayed their master.
