Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Chapter 265 Scarlet Purgatory

Legend has it that during the Great Crusade era when the Emperor of Mankind still walked the earth, tens of thousands of Astartes monks moved in legion-sized groups, killing everything with devastating firepower and dense airdrop pods like raindrops. The aliens made every world surrender to the steel torrent of the empire, leading mankind to expand among the stars.

Today, ten thousand years later, the new recruits of the Ultramarines on the planet Parmenio were fortunate enough to witness the grand scene of countless airdrop pods falling like heavy rain, which none of their predecessors had ever seen before. It's a pity that these airdrop pods are not made of alloy, and there is no U-shaped emblem of the Ultramarines on them.

Dense raindrops came one after another, crowding the originally open sky. When you look up, you can see a dark and oppressive scarlet color. Countless biological airdrop pods wrapped in strange scales are rushing to hit the ground.

Following a piercing loud noise that pierced the atmosphere, it was as if a giant standing tall on the ground was moaning on the verge of death. Occasionally lit flares vaguely illuminated the collapse of a behemoth made of steel. It was the most important space elevator in Parmenio, connected to the dock starport in orbit.

However, the once crowded pier was now destroyed, and the space elevator connected to it collapsed due to its foundation being dug out.

"A ground-burrowing insect has hollowed out the foundation of the space elevator! We can't leave!" A blue-armored Astartes holding a high-precision sniper rifle sat with his back against the wall in the dome of the hall of the planet's administrative headquarters. on, panting.

Under his feet were endless crimson waves, swarming with insect heads and roaring tsunami, washing away the battered building structures one after another, and setting up the firepower points set up by the Ultramarines all over the building one after another. put out.

The administration hall is being overrun by bugs!

The vast majority of the defense forces in the hall are just new recruits of the Ultramarines who have not yet been formally awarded armor. Their combat power is only stronger than that of the mortal elite, but it is still far from the regular Astartes.

In fact, even if the main force of the Ultramarines sticks here, they may not be able to sustain it for much longer.

Another flash bomb flashed across the sky, and an Ultramarines recruit wearing basic armor rolled over to avoid the decomposition liquid thrown by the insect swarm, and came to the battle brother holding a sniper rifle.

"The space elevator has collapsed, and we can't leave." The sniper reminded him again: "Now we can only hope that the astrology that we asked for help before can break through the blockade of the subspace shadow. As for leaving Parmenio and going to Ma Kurag called for help and reported... There is no chance."

The recruit shook his head: "We still have a chance. I checked and found that there was nothing at the end of the space elevator when it collapsed. It should be that the orbital star port made an emergency escape before being dragged into the planet's gravity well by the collapsed space elevator. That is, It is said that the star port is still barely operating outside the atmosphere. As long as we can find a way to break through the blockade of the insect swarm, fly out of the atmosphere, and enter the star port, there is a high probability that we can find a small ship!"

The sniper looked solemn: "You may be right, but this is too risky. You don't even have a complete set of power armor..."

The recruit laughed: "The strength of the Brother Astartes does not lie in the armor on his body or the bolt gun in his hand, but in the faith in our hearts and the consciousness of dying generously for the Emperor!"

With the dazzling light of the flare, the sniper looked at the determined expression on the recruit's face, and for a moment he felt that his calm eyes were more dazzling than the flare.

"I understand." The sniper threw away the long gun in his hand, took out an easy-to-maneuver plasma pistol from the corpse of the battle brother at his feet and held it in his hand: "I will go with you, break through the blockade, and fly out of the atmosphere. !”

A hearty smile appeared on the recruit's face.

However, he hadn't smiled for a few seconds when suddenly, a dazzling tail of flame suddenly flashed across the dark sky, and a blazing giant crashed through the sky and fell to the earth.

"The star port... fell down..."

The sudden change left the recruit stunned in place. His impassioned emotions and consciousness of dying for the Emperor seemed particularly at a loss in the face of the overwhelming power of the enemy.

The sniper threw away the plasma pistol without saying a word, picked up the sniper rifle he had just thrown away, and continued to snipe at the Zerg individuals suspected of being the command unit under the building. Even one.

The scarlet wave is rolling and rolling, and the arrival of the end is so sudden that it takes people by surprise. Many people on the ground still don't know what happened on this planet. They only saw that the originally bright sky suddenly turned dark, as if there was a huge celestial body standing between them and the star, blocking all light.

The clear atmosphere of the planet was dyed an ambiguous pink by the insect spores flying everywhere. The entire Parmenio seemed to be completely shrouded in a dark red fog. From the ground, it only felt depressed and gloomy.

At this moment, only the dying people on the falling orbital starport understand what kind of doomsday scene is outside the atmosphere and in space.

What blocked the light of the star and plunged the entire planet into darkness was not a celestial body, but a starry sky beast that was even larger than the celestial body.

It swims outside the orbit of Parmenio, and the abyssal mouth that is enough to swallow asteroids slowly opens and spits out a mouthful of scarlet mist, which is countless insect spores and biological airdrop pods, swallowing the entire Parmenio. Completely submerged.

This is a giant worm, an 'ether giant worm' that can roam freely in the etheric currents of the Sea of ​​Souls.

It was so huge that the Ultramarines recruits on the ground felt as if their bodies had become lighter, and they seemed to be floating away from the surface of the planet as they ran.

Its power is so strong that Parmenio's orbital defense force is vulnerable to its surprise attack. Just a swing of its tail is enough to kill a large piece of the powerful battleship that the navy's masters are proud of.

Its body was strong. Countless orbital defense platforms were turned into fragments and ports equipped with torpedo launch arrays launched a desperate counterattack before its death. Countless artillery fires failed to scratch even one of its scales.

Countless twisted and broken metal fragments were attracted by the huge gravitational force of the 'Ether Giant Worm' and slowly drifted around its body, like pieces of paper flying in the wind.

It's hard to imagine why such a huge beast didn't have its spine broken by its own weight?

The human empire is destined to get no answers.

The giant ether worm just cruised around like this, swinging its tail patiently in Parmenio's orbit.

It is waiting for the destruction of this planet, waiting for the countless ground troops of the swarm to slaughter all the living creatures on this planet, turning it into a pot of organic soup that does not need to be digested, for itself to feast on.
