The Emperor’s Angel of Death

The gun array split again, and at this time, the armored units in the rear had already broken through to the front line. Leman Russ tanks and Type 520 tanks raced through the smoke and dust, constantly firing. The militia followed closely behind the armored units, seemingly intending to surround the gap from all directions.

"Ha, these little bugs are really annoying."

Antotza's teasing voice sounded in the channel. He was also piloting a Carnodon Knight, and was currently using its giant feet to trample those knife worms scurrying around like cockroaches.

"Looks like they're not that scary after all."

"There are still many Tyranid units that haven't appeared yet, don't be careless."

Tasia's steady voice sounded.

"First, use firepower to attack that Biovore and that Pyrovore."

The team quickly approached Tenth Company's position. Due to being dropped relatively deep during the airdrop, they landed far from other units and were surrounded by a sea of ​​bugs. Bakhram and the warriors of Tenth Company simply used the dead Ripper as a high point, gathered together in a circle and fired at the Tyranids rushing from all directions. Under their feet, besides the corpses of giant beasts, there were countless other corpses of Hormagaunts and Warrior, almost piled into a small mountain. Tenth Company's banner fluttered in the strong wind filled with acid mist and pus. Bakhram stood next to the banner, holding the spear-shaped Broken Fang, encouraging the surrounding warriors while shooting with his pistol. (Warhammer can't be without the Bro Mountain)

And they also became the Tyranids' main target of attack. Various Hormagaunts, Termagants, Warriors, and snake-like creatures formed a wave, mixed with Biovores, Pyrovores, and Trygons and other large creatures.

Suddenly, a dense barrage of bullets swept over, and the Biovore, which was constantly hatching more small creatures, immediately burst open like a punctured balloon. Its entire bloated abdomen exploded, and countless unformed embryos struggled in the gushing acid.

Bakhram turned his head and looked over, seeing the Knight Mech slowly approaching, and then opened a special communication channel.

"Which Knight is this?"

Sere responded immediately:

"I am Sere, son of Barris, ordered to come and support you and Tenth Company."

"Sere... Hmm, we need to establish a stable position here. Follow-up troops will arrive soon. Controlling this place will block all the Tyranids' advance. The evacuation of refugees is expected to take at least 78 hours."

"Understood, Captain Bakhram, we will assist—"

Suddenly, Sere's tactical scanner emitted a sharp hiss, followed by urgent hostile information from the hunter pack's servitors, marked as a lethal target!

Initially, they were just shadows, a blurry outline in the smoke. But when they appeared with heavy steps, even Sere's heart froze—

Bakhram also narrowed his eyes.

"Giant Tyranid creatures!"

In a deafening roar, three Doom of Malantai, even larger than Executioners, opened their sharp claws, enough to pierce through the entire Knight Mech. They raised their heads and stared at Tenth Company on the mountain of corpses, then broke into a run, stepping on the dense swarm of their own kind on the ground and began to charge.

"Doom of Malantai! It's the Doom of Malantai!"

Sere shouted, the Silver Unicorn gracefully rotated its body, and the Thunderstrike gauntlet fired fiercely at one of the monsters, but the bullets were not very effective against this hunched, enormous monster.

The Doom of Malantai, listed as the top-tier dangerous ground unit among the Titan-class threats, second only to the Hive Mind. It was also the unique individual encountered by Kayan and Talos. After the Adeptus Mechanicus conducted a full dissection, they discovered that the creature's skeleton actually had extensibility, meaning its size could become even larger, approaching the average level of a Knight Mech.

And its speed, reaction, and lethality were at the top level among the Tyranids, even possibly stronger than the Tyranid Tyrant in some aspects, hence it was named Doom of Malantai.

But the Doom of Malantai had only appeared once after all. The Adeptus Mechanicus speculated that the Tyranids might not deploy this creature in large numbers, but unexpectedly, three of them appeared at once this time.

"They are trying to attack Tenth Company's left flank. Knights, prepare to engage! Hounds, flank to the left and right sides, bite their legs and reduce the number of surrounding Tyranids. Antotza, Harrowyn, and I will hold them off. Tasia, Ashleigh, flank to the sides and take the opportunity to launch key attacks!"

Sere, Antotza, and Tasia were all Carnodon Knights, while Harrowyn was a Paladin, and Ashleigh was a Errant Knight. It was a bit difficult to directly confront three Doom of Malantai, but Sere thought it shouldn't be too hard.

Although his hands were actually shaking a bit when facing such an enemy, so he chose to let the ladies stay in a safer position.

"Why not let Harrowyn provide flank cover? I can also fight head-on."

Tasia was obviously not satisfied with this arrangement, but still acknowledged Sere's order. Then, the Silver Unicorn charged first, and tongues of fire as bright as the sun pierced out from the Thunderstrike gauntlet, followed by the rocket launcher additionally installed on the top. One by one, armor-piercing rockets leaped high into the sky, then exploded on and around the charging Doom of Malantai.

The servitors also followed instructions, firing at the scattered aliens while maneuvering as a group to the flanks of the Doom of Malantai.

"Come on!"

In the shaking visual display, the Doom of Malantai's hideous face and the large mouth that opened on its chest were already close at hand. Sere continued to fire, letting the bullets pierce into its body. The beast actually lowered its head, crossed its arms to defend its head, and continued to charge towards the Knight.

Suddenly, Sere changed the frequency of its steps. The Carnodon Knight's excellent transmission system came into play, allowing it to quickly change direction like a living person. The Doom of Malantai failed to stop its steps. Sere pushed out his arm, and the mech's Stormsword struck the monster's lower abdomen. The monster roared, suddenly turned around, and its claws pierced into the mech's outer shell, tearing the thick metal open as if tearing paper.

In an instant, Sere felt a violent shaking, and his ears were filled with warnings and screams from various devices. It seemed that the Silver Unicorn's machine spirit was roaring.

But at this time, he was surprisingly calm.

The Silver Unicorn also seemed extremely focused on its hunt, and did not give any feedback to the pain.

The Doom of Malantai suddenly left Sere's attack range, and then jumped up with force in its legs, leaping dozens of meters with agility completely disproportionate to its size. Before Sere could react, its legs almost collided with the Silver Unicorn's chest. If it hit, it would be enough to knock the Knight Mech down. If Sere hadn't reacted in time and taken a step back before the opponent landed, he wouldn't have been able to avoid this jump attack. But with the help of the falling force, the huge claws still pierced into the Carnodon Knight's shoulder armor, which almost completely disabled the Knight's arm transmission system.

After taking control of the Silver Unicorn, the Doom of Malantai completely ignored the servitors' attacks, and stretched its chest outwards to the extreme, revealing poisonous teeth extending in all directions.
