Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"I won't fail again!"

61. Demon Annihilation War (Part )

The dark clouds overhead became even thicker, not a single ray of sunlight could shine through, and the surroundings became somewhat dim.

Led by Leman Russ tanks, the troops advanced slowly and searched every place carefully.

A team of Astra Militarum reconnaissance officers heading to a large supermarket are now running out of it and reporting the location to the [Basilisk Artillery] position outside, asking them to destroy the large supermarket with incendiary bombs.

A dull sound of artillery fire came from outside the city. It was the sound of shells flying through the air at high speed, followed by the sound of an explosion from the supermarket.

After a round of bombing, this building, which could accommodate thousands of people for shopping and entertainment, collapsed and turned into ruins in the flames. The reconnaissance team did not find the target, but saw piles of corpses and blood, as well as blood vessels of unknown function.

In keeping with the usual style of the Warhammer 40K world, anything that the demons have will be destroyed, regardless of their use.

The army has been marching smoothly so far, and apart from a few scattered alienated humans, it has not encountered any other enemies.

In the center of the large army, the magic toad priest, Kua Kuat, under the protection of four [Temple Guards] with upgraded equipment, followed the large army of the Astra Militarum.

Hundreds of Lizardmen, Giant Lizards, Skinks and Chameleons are now dispersed in small teams throughout the Astra Militarum forces and reconnaissance teams, doing what they have always been extremely good at doing - destroying all chaotic forces.

At this time, the Skink Lizard who was responsible for conveying Master Kua Kuat's advice suddenly came to Captain Loken and gave him the latest news.

"There is a large mixed force of demons and aliens gathering not far away?" Captain Locke said. "Are you sure?"

The Skink who reported back nodded.

"It looks like it's ready to attack us." Locke said, and then ordered the whole team. "Everyone, stop moving forward!"

"Find a suitable place nearby to set up a position! The enemy is coming!"

The order was given, and the huge team stopped and began to build defenses at suitable locations nearby.

"Send three reconnaissance teams to the designated directions for advance reconnaissance! We need intelligence on the enemy!"

"Block the streets! Allow the mortar team to have a safe space for shelling!"

"Pass this message to Brother Duke and the basilisk artillery positions in the rear, immediately!"

An army of thousands of people began to move. The reconnaissance team accelerated to the designated direction to begin the reconnaissance mission; the sandbags on the transport vehicles were quickly taken down to build positions; the Leman Rust tanks were driven to important positions and reinforced.

Captain Loken then brought Master Kua Kuat to ask for more details.

"Demons, fast in the air, fast running, huge and heavy..." Master Kwa Kwat, who was in a meditative state to detect the enemy's movements from a distance through psychic power, said one paragraph at a time. "They are gathering..."

"How many are there?" asked Captain Locke.

"... a lot... a lot... a lot..."

Master Kua Kuaat stopped talking. He needed to gather his strength to prepare to deal with the demon that caused all this.

Such vague words could not give Locke any useful information. At this moment, the lizardman veteran Ku Reese stepped out and said.

"Three is a lot, just three square formations are missing." This new but knowledge-infused lizard veteran knew exactly what the mysterious descriptions used by the magic toad priest during meditation meant. "Thousands of enemies."

"There are demons in the air that fly and are fast, demons that run fast on the ground, and demons that move slowly but are huge."

"Can't these psychics talk properly?!" Even after receiving a relatively detailed explanation, Locke still said with some annoyance.

"Keep it up, you hot-blooded one!"

Faced with Ku Reese's dissatisfaction, Locke did not respond, but walked straight to the position he was building. He still had a lot of things to do.

"May the Emperor bless us in this strange universe."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Bang bang bang!

Biubiubiu!

The alienated humans turned into corpses under the attacks of grenade launchers and hell guns.

Duke and the Storm Commandos, who had separated from the main force, had not gained anything so far.

Several possible locations of the demon were visited, but nothing was found.

At this moment, the signalman in the team received a message from Locke that the enemy was about to launch a general attack, asking them to stay away from the direction of the enemy's main force and not to be hit by the enemy's attack.

"We've confirmed the direction of the enemy's main force." The signalman marked the location on the map. "Based on this, our target may also be in this direction."

"We need to go around it." Brother Duke said, looking at the map. "It's very dangerous. If we're not careful, we might be discovered by the enemy and then overwhelmed by their numbers."

“But there is no choice.”

Brother Duke stood up and looked at his team members.

"Brothers, let's keep moving forward!"

"Once again, step into hell!"

. . . . . .

The chameleon, which has the ability to become invisible, lies outside the building, conducting reconnaissance operations through a telescope in its hand.

He looked at the distant horizon through the telescope and found several black spots appearing above the horizon.

They gradually flew into the air. Chameleon increased the magnification of the telescope in his hand and looked at the black spots again.

They were a group of huge, blood-red, bat-like demons with sharp fangs!

Seeing this, the chameleon clinging to the outer wall of the building immediately put down the telescope in his hand and blew the whistle in his hand.

drop--!

The messenger who heard the whistle immediately ran towards the large army that was building a position.

"Report! Enemies spotted!" The messenger ran to Captain Locke and said, "They're coming!"

The huge red-skinned flying demon was gradually approaching the position built by the Astra Militarum, and behind it, a large number of demon hounds were running wildly.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The mortar squads began to attack, balls of fire exploded on the wide road, and several hounds were knocked down.

But this could not stop their attack.

"Aerial vehicle spotted! It's an alien troop transport airship!"

Under the cover of the flying demons, dozens of airships hidden among them appeared and then accelerated suddenly.

"Don't let them get close! Shoot them down!"

The accompanying [Hydra Anti-aircraft Artillery] immediately spit out tongues of fire at the enemy flying units that entered their range. For a moment, the airships in the sky were shot down one after another like dumplings.

"Watch out for the sides!"

Three alien airships flew low, leaning against the building, trying to approach one of the anti-aircraft guns.

The anti-aircraft artillery immediately turned its guns around, and the surrounding Star Army soldiers immediately attacked them with their weapons.

Even so, an airship still approached a [Hydra Anti-aircraft Artillery] and rammed it directly.

boom!

Click!

The anti-aircraft artillery dodged at the first possible moment, but its long barrel was still bent by the unexpected impact.

The airship then hit a building on the other side and exploded. Several Astra Militarum soldiers who were unable to dodge were affected by the blast.

"More airships!"

"Protect the remaining anti-aircraft guns!"

"The demons are approaching!"

Although the Star Realm military still has an anti-aircraft gun, this one alone is no longer enough to cover the sky above the entire large force.

Boom boom boom!

Several more alien transport airships crashed into the Astra Militarum's positions. The demon hounds and those big bats were approaching!

roar--!

Squeak——!

The suicide interference of the airships allowed these demons to rush to a position very close to the Astra Militarum's position. It was not until then that the Astra Militarum soldiers at the front began to prepare to shoot at the enemies so close.

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, dozens of smoke bombs were fired from behind the hound, and a large amount of rose-colored smoke rose, covering the entire road and obscuring the vision.

"Damn it!"

The sudden obstruction caused the Star Army soldiers at the front to hesitate for a moment, and it was this moment of hesitation that allowed the demons to get close enough.

Ouch!

A hound jumped out of the smoke and knocked down the soldier closest to him, followed by more hounds.

In the air, those large bat-like demons swooped down, grabbed an unlucky guy with their strong lower limbs, and threw him into the air.

"Shoot! Shoot!"

Biubiubiu!

The red beam of light finally appeared and shot towards the demons in the air or on the ground. Some demons were immediately killed and disappeared.

But soon, the controlled mutants and alien soldiers were felt to come out from the thick smoke and attacked the Astra Militarum.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Boom boom boom boom!

Completely ignoring the hounds that were fighting with the Astra Militarum, several MECs fired all the micro missiles they carried at the Astra Militarum positions and also began firing their heavy magnetic rifles.

Most of the Astra Militarum forces that were dragged into close combat were knocked down one after another under this offensive, while the flying demons in the air and the hidden enemy snipers accurately attacked and killed anyone who tried to break this chaotic situation.

They were needed, and the Astra Militarum became confused.

But they don't know that in another universe, demons also exist and the Astra Militarum often deal with them.

They knew exactly what to do in this situation.

Squeak—clang!

Unable to provide air fire suppression because the air was too chaotic, the Hydra anti-aircraft artillery suddenly lowered its angle and aimed at the existence in front of it.

The next second, a metal storm hit.

Da da da da da!

It also ignored the enemy and its own friends, and the dense bullets tore apart all the enemies and entangled friendly forces on the road, killing them all.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The mortar team in the rear began to bombard again, and this time their target was their own front-line positions.

Boom boom boom boom!

The flames of the explosion and the stirred-up debris continued one after another, and the chaotic situation immediately became clear.

The battle is not over so easily.

62. Demon Annihilation War (IV)

As mentioned before, the warp of this world is very peaceful, far from being as chaotic as the Warhammer 40K world.

This also means that the strength and number of other subspace creatures that the demon can summon are extremely limited, so that there is no second demon that can speak and have full consciousness.

But this does not mean that the Astra Militarum can easily win the battle.

Squeak——!

Bat-like demons with blood-red skin swooped down from the sky in groups and rushed towards the Astra Militarum on the ground.

The Astra Militarum soldiers who were chosen as targets immediately opened fire, and red beams shot continuously into the air.

Several flying demons in the front were shot down, but the other demons behind took this opportunity to rush to the group of star troops at high speed.

Duang!
