Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 19: The Purifying Flame
"Is someone in a hurry? It's different from yesterday. The number today is much greater."

Barn complained, tapping his fingers rhythmically on his motorcycle. To be honest, he would rather ride his motorcycle and fight the enemy directly than command the battle.

"Lord Baine, there are too many enemies this time. Should we still deal with them the same way we did yesterday?"

"Let's do it this way. You can see that the first ones to appear this time are all kinds of miscellaneous soldiers. Even if the blasphemous elites called Death Knights appear, nothing will change. The reinforcements have already sent us a message that they are coming. We don't need to be stingy with ammunition. Except for the heavy bombs, all equipment should be fired to destroy them."

Under Barn's command, the imperial soldiers began to pour out firepower frantically. For a time, the focused beams and physical bullets formed a fierce firepower network. If someone's weapon ran out of ammunition, the trained native auxiliary personnel next to them would immediately hand over the magazine. These were all natives of the Church who had no combat profession, or whose combat profession was not high but who were not afraid of death. After a short period of training, they had completely mastered the simple task of loading weapons. Their main task was to squat in the trenches with several spare magazines. If someone's automatic gun ran out of bullets, they would hand over the full magazine and refill the empty magazine. If it was a laser gun magazine, they would pass it out and have someone take it to the back to recharge it.

The combat effectiveness of low-level undead is very weak and their movement is slow. Previously, these low-level monsters were allowed to be placed close to the trenches in order to train the soldiers and save ammunition. Now that Barn has received news that reinforcements are coming, there is no need to save any more.

Various undead creatures began to fall one after another, and the Death Knights leading them were given special attention. These big guys in thick armor only looked powerful, but they were not reliable at all under a volley of light guns and would fall to the ground and disappear after a few hits.

Soon the ground was covered with corpses.

It's strange that some of these blasphemies won't disappear, but others will. What's the difference between them?
Barn didn't know that the reason why those corpses didn't disappear was because they were directly transformed from the people of the Church, and those that disappeared were either monsters that were automatically refreshed by the Great Tomb or summoned. The Death Knights that could break through the time limit and exist forever were essentially monsters summoned from corpses.

Barn discovered that the Death Knights who had been guarding the command platform began to move with the experienced guards of Nazarick. They tried to cut into the battlefield from another side. The remaining Nazarick master guards and Nazarick veteran guards also pressed into the battlefield together.

It’s okay that we have finally seen some tactical actions.

"Incineration team, Team B, go ahead and block it."

Following Barn's order, the sentinel mechas on standby on the battle line were dispatched.

The Sentinel mecha is a single-person light bipedal walking mecha widely used by the Empire, usually used for patrolling or rapid firepower deployment on rugged terrain. The Sentinel mecha on Agaro is actually a retired military-turned-civilian, with the weapons removed and replaced with industrial mechanical arms. Now these engineering Sentinel mechas are on the battlefield again because of the war.

Father Otto added temporary outer armor to them. A heavy-duty promethium flamethrower was connected to the engineering mechanical arm, and fuel tanks welded from scrap metal were carried on the back of these mechas.

Now, these four industrial mechas rushed out of the trenches with the support of dozens of auxiliary troops, and indiscriminately spewed raging flames at the undead, once again proving that flamethrowers are effective.

The area filled with all kinds of undead turned into a sea of ​​fire in an instant. The flames spit out by the hastily built flamethrowers were not as hot as the standard version of the Imperial Army, but they were enough. All kinds of zombies with unsteady steps quickly fell to the ground in the flames, and their bodies turned into charcoal. The equipment on the tall death knights also quickly turned red and melted. Then the auxiliary army carried out precise sniping to prevent these things from getting close. On the other side, the modified agricultural vehicles and the only three standard Imperial military vehicles, that is, two Centaur assault vehicles and a Chimera troop carrier formed the core assault team of Group B and rushed towards the enemy on the flank. On the three military vehicles were the three heavy bombs that Barn had been hiding. These were their last heavy firepower (not considering the things that were directly modified with promethium). The three laser cannons that were originally left were taken away by those disgusting blasphemous things.

The heavy bolter is a modified version of the bolter, a heavy machine gun. It uses 25.4MM caliber ammunition containing purified tritium cores. Its range is twice that of ordinary bolters and its rate of fire is much faster. Now the only three remaining bolters are installed on military vehicles, and they will deliver a fatal judgment on the enemies of humanity on the battlefield.

This time, the White Scar warrior did not drive the modified truck, but drove the Chimera troop carrier and took the lead to meet the charging Death Cavalry.

The heavy explosive bombs on the three military vehicles made a thunderous sound, and the huge recoil even pushed the vehicles to one side. The leading death cavalry were immediately hit by huge hammers, their armor shattered, their bodies flew everywhere, and they began to disappear quickly.

But the Soul Eaters beneath them, a kind of horse-like magical beast, did not stop charging because the cavalry on their backs disappeared, and neither did the White Scars Space Marines.

He picked up the bolt rifle that had been placed beside him, drove the car with only one hand, and used the other hand to control the bolt rifle to accurately shoot at the few escaped creatures, and two soul devourers were immediately shot down. Then, when the Chimera assault vehicle was about to collide with the death troopers, it detoured to the side in an almost impossible way, exposing these blasphemous creatures to the attack range of the heavy bolt bombs.

On the other side, under the efficient burning, most of the low-level undead had been destroyed. At this time, the senior guards and experienced guards of Nazarick also rushed into the sea of ​​fire.

These higher-level undead are indeed much more resistant to burning than lower-level undead, and the accompanying great undead magicians have also demonstrated their abilities as magicians. Although these guys are best at throwing fireballs, it does not mean that they do not know other magic.

They first used water magic to try to put out the fire, but how could the flames from the Imperial flamethrowers be extinguished by ordinary water?

Neither the small-scale rainfall nor the water balls or water columns could put out the fire, but instead allowed the flames to spread faster as the water flowed.

Then they chose to use ice magic to cool down directly, and it was effective. The senior and experienced guards of Nazarick began to gradually cross the sea of ​​fire. Some of the skeletons equipped with bows and arrows even drew their bows and shot arrows to kill the pilot of the Sentinel mecha. Fortunately, thick metal plates had been welded on the mecha before, which prevented the pilot from being killed by a wave of arrows. However, many auxiliary soldiers were still killed.

At this moment, accompanied by whistling sounds, bags of explosives mixed with promethium were thrown into the blasphemous army of Nazarick, blowing people and horses to pieces.

In order to make up for the lack of heavy firepower, the imperial soldiers used an ancient folk method.
Some call them flying thunder cannons in a more elegant way, while others simply call them conscienceless cannons.

The production method is very simple. Just find a metal barrel, install wheels and an angle adjustment device on it, then bury explosives inside, and blast the explosives directly into the enemy's array.
