Dedicate loyalty to the good empire

Chapter 266: The 265th Kamaz Defense Battle, Part 3
As the last of the Hundred Eyes' warband's ships fell as meteors, the stargazers who had been following their trail reported their final battle to Taylor.

The countless artillery fires from the stars continued all night long, but even so, they only bought Kamaz a brief respite of just two days.

Frankly, Taylor wished they were more useful.

But the so-called Hundred-Eyed War Gang that was fighting for the Emperor actually only served to provide more souls as sacrifices to the World-Devourers.

It's really hard to evaluate those guys who are neither high nor low. As a result, they have been the butchers and sacrifices of Chaos all their lives.

Looking at the report, Taylor felt a little sigh for some reason. Even a war gang larger than his was nothing but fish in today's dark side.

When will this turbulent and dark era end?
And he? A mere mortal, facing a founding group that betrayed the Imperium, a descendant that had betrayed the Emperor.

A group of demigods!
This is a very difficult task. Even if he has some support coming, it is still questionable whether Kamaz can last for half a month.

Taylor gathered the officers and prepared to start the defense meeting in the bright auditorium of the Red Moon Angel Fortress.

The statue of Sanguinius now stands in the middle of the hall. The golden saint looks very impressive, like a perfect sculpture from ancient Greece, now covered in golden light.

The long-winged angel looked at the mortals without any sadness or joy, but Taylor just pragmatically placed the strategic map and star map equipment in front of him.

This may seem a bit sacrilegious, after all, just a few months ago, this was a temple for the Space Marines.

But now, they have to make concessions to the living.

The officers gathered here did not have much joy. In front of the long dark marble table, the officers from all over Kamaz had already expressed strong uneasiness and helplessness.

Yes, they have to face Chaos Angels, Traitors, and Killers. Even though Taylor once led them to defeat the Hundred Eyes, what about facing the World Eaters?
Now the people in the fortress are in panic, and they urgently need a victory to prove that the angels are not invincible.

Taylor coughed and said.

"The World Eaters' general attack is probably imminent. I plan to expand a buffer zone outwards to try to move the flames of war away from the fortress."

"After all, there are civilians here, your children, family, and friends."

"As for the void defense, frankly, I don't know how long it can hold out. Those guys didn't blow up the fortress with their artillery fire because they simply thought that would mean there would be no spoils."

In fact, Taylor concealed one thing from those people, that is, the return of the Demon Primarch.

The officers did not answer, they accepted those things in silence, as if death was Kamaz's destiny.

They lowered their heads and were silent.

But Taylor knew very well that he couldn't defeat any enemy in this state, let alone the demigods...

Taylor cursed. "I've seen Cadians swing their blades against Chaos even as their planet was destroyed. I've seen Catachans bite their enemies even when their entire army was annihilated."

"I don't ask you to be as good as those heroes, but please don't embarrass yourself in front of Sanguinius!"

He left with a feeling of disappointment, leaving behind the silent fortress hall and those ashamed Kamaz officers.

At this moment, the female captain of the Lion Guard spoke.

"We are a bunch of cowards. We keep saying we want to protect our primarch and our homeland, but when the Lion King and the Lord of Caliban leave, we become homeless dogs..."

"I used to laugh at Mr. Taylor for being incompetent, but now it seems he was right..."

"I'm the new recruit who knows nothing. When true terror and despair appear, all I can do is pray in front of the statue, praying that I can survive, or die in a less painful way!"

She angrily slammed her hands on the long marble table, again and again, until her wrists were bleeding and the skin was torn.

The pain awakened her reason, and she realized that she was as ridiculous as a shrew.

She took a quick breath. "Lion Guard, yes, Lion Guard. Even if there are only ten of us, we must protect our home."

She wrapped her wrists with bandages, picked up the laser gun at her waist, and said hurriedly, "Death is not scary, brothers, death is not scary..."

"Cowardice is terrifying!"

She turned and ran in the direction Taylor had left. Her actions seemed to inspire the officers. The soldiers gathered their courage, returned to their positions, and began to quickly mobilize all the defenses on the KAMAZ.

And now, Taylor stood on the fortress wall and watched the Chaos warships approach.

He expected an army of thousands of Chaos Space Marines and tens of thousands of mortals to approach, and from the long battle, the bodies of the dead had already piled up in front of the Kamath Fortress.

He started out using promethium to burn the stuff, until he realized he couldn't burn it all.

The stench of decay hung in the air, forcing Taylor to don a mask as he began to look at the ground, planning the approximate size and location of the defensive trenches.

It was almost instinctive, although he seemed disappointed with the officers of Kamas, when facing the Chaos Space Marines, those superhuman attacks.

His initial situation was not much better than theirs.

But at the moment, how long can they last?
Taylor thought uneasily as he looked at the Chaos Space Marines that were beginning to approach from a distance.

Until he saw soldiers digging useless trenches like idiots near the fortress, he immediately turned on the radio and walked quickly down.

He said. "That's not how you dig. I learned from Krieg. Do it my way!"

At the same time, they quickly arrived in front of the fortress. The Kamaz soldiers had now regained their initial enthusiasm, placed their equipment outside the fortress, and began to dig heavy and long trenches.

When Taylor arrived, those people immediately saluted the High Lord, and the young Lion Guard captain who spoke in the name of Lion looked at him.

She said, "My Lord! The Lion Guard is at your disposal!"

Taylor quipped. "You're still trying to flatter yourself. It's unclear who's protecting whom."

She stuck out her tongue, showing her girlish character, then immediately recovered and said, "My lord, can we survive?"

Taylor looked at the chaotic forces gathering in the distance, as well as the demons that appeared out of nowhere.

"I bet if the Cogboy from the Mechanicum were here, he'd say the success rate is less than 3 percent."

At this moment, a mechanical voice came from the side. "No, sir, I will say that I think I can beat him."

The gear boy had arrived now, dragging a huge pile of junk, and had begun assembling the anti-aircraft gun he had concocted near the trench, using garbage and shrapnel for ammunition, in a very Orcish way.

Taylor looked at the green creature in his hand and asked, "What about Om Messiah, boy?"

He replied, "The old man is magnanimous and will forgive me... probably."

"Maybe I've abandoned the Soul of Gear, but I want to help, not hide in the basement again!"

However, the troops were still insufficient. Taylor sighed and prepared for a bloody battle.

He dispatched the old brothers in Skadi's team and said at the same time.

"If the Emperor sends another batch of reliable soldiers here, I'm willing to go a month without drinking sparkling water..."

As he finished speaking, several warships from the neighboring planet, the Desert Garden World Avarus, quickly jumped nearby.

They began to quickly drop guards on Kamaz, and Taylor's tablet also received a letter from the female governor.

That's it in general.

She didn't want her alliance to be broken so quickly!

Taylor was wondering if his declaration was effective...

He shouted helplessly. "Sister Leitlin, Katie, go find a convoy and pick up the Avarus people who are coming to support us from afar!"

"Lion Guard boys, Gear boys, prepare covering fire!"

Taylor shouted to the Chaos group that was gradually approaching the range in the distance. "Fire!"
