Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 456: The Power of a Loving Father

This was an unprecedented feeling. The armor possessed by the demon seemed to be rotten. Croesus could clearly hear the clicking sounds of the servo systems as if they were not properly maintained.

The Nurglings, whose ferocious looks were yet adorable, were frolicking happily on the battlefield. They seemed to have no idea what fear was.

There were Nurglings everywhere. The happy little guys tried to trip and gnaw on the armor of the Death Guards, but when they found that they couldn't bite them at all, they immediately clung to them and followed their masters like loyal pets.

They climbed up smoothly along the bulges of the armor, leaving behind a trail of numbing putrid fluid and filth as they climbed. All kinds of rotten excrement stuck to the unpainted surface of the Death Guard's armor.

If it were the Death Guard of the past, they would have been furious and killed these blasphemous little creatures one by one with a punch, but in the eyes of Croesus now, these Nurglings waving their stubby arms and imitating roars with shrill voices... are also quite pleasing to the eye.

But then, Crosius kicked the Nurgling on his body away. This abnormally equipped little fellow almost tore off the pull ring of his high-explosive grenade, and he was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat.

Suddenly, an epiphany came to his mind. Why could he get along so well with these alien demons whom he had never met before?

Could it be that the Warp God named the Kind Father has long been aware of the existence of the Death Guard?
The Nurglings were not slow at all. In fact, they were running very fast. They swarmed forward like a green tide, heading straight for the Blood Angels and the native Solar Auxiliary Forces of those planets.

The Solar Auxiliary Army and Imperial Militia who were trying to stop the Death Guard's retreat discovered these enemies. Calvin and his comrades fired desperately, and the flashing lasers exploded the Nurglings one by one.

"They are not invincible!" the commander shouted.

These abominable little demons are not very strong individually, and some militiamen who engage in close combat with them can even kick them away with one kick, but there are too many of them, so many that they can overwhelm humans with their numbers.

The Nurglings' sharp claws and teeth easily tore through the armor's defenses, leaving some extremely tiny cuts on the auxiliary soldiers' skin.

The wounds were so tiny and seemingly ineffective, but Calvin soon saw how powerful they were.

Those comrades who were scratched and bitten fell to the ground and died in just a few breaths. Their bodies glowed an ominous green.

Countless blisters and boils appeared on the skin, the corpse expanded rapidly as if inflated, and then exploded in the eyes of horror.

The morale of the auxiliary troops suddenly stagnated. They were not afraid of death, but this extremely horrific way of death was not something that most people could accept.

"Keep your distance, attack from a distance!"

The experienced veteran immediately formulated a tactical plan. Calvin retreated with a tingling scalp. These enemies were more outrageous than the other. The original zombies were already difficult enough, but in front of these Nurglings, they were so harmless and friendly.

The Nurglings cheered as they rushed to the dead mortals, crawling into the scars and wounds of the corpses, then ruptured their stomachs with a cackling voice, smeared and bound the intestines and entrails on their bodies, and then continued to attack the humans.

"My Lord, this is such blasphemy..."

+Alarm, unknown virus spread detected, alarm, purification system activated+
Radon is the calmest leader among the Blood Angels. At critical moments, when the captains of the Blood Angels fall into a fanatical desire to fight, he will stand out and act as a brake.

The Thinker system of the power armor is issuing an early warning. You must know that the Blood Angels are all deployed in a fully closed form on the battlefield. Their power armor has a mature internal circulation system. Even so, they are still attacked by the enemy's plague.

"Those are psychic viruses. Call the think tank troops." Radon's deputy is a powerful legion think tank, Mkani Kano, who saw the essence of the other party's plague through his psychic eyes.

All the Death Guards were wrapped in powerful psychic reactions, and those small demons running and laughing were naked psychic creatures.

Naturally, there are a considerable number of think tanks in Radolon's assault team. The Blood Angels have always been famous for close combat and assaults, but their think tanks also have impressive strength.

The Blood Angels Librarians, led by Librarian Kano, stood before their battle-brothers, summoning powerful psychic lightning and blessed holy light. The crackling lightning instantly fell, bombarding the Death Guard like a ray of judgment.

At the same time, the Librarian twisted his arm, raised his bolt pistol and fired three shots at the enemy's head.

He channeled his psychic energy into the bolter, and the first shot struck a Death Guard in the knee, chipping away a layer of his rotten metal armor.

The second and third shots hit the Death Guard's helmet. The destructive spiral projectiles tore through the protection of the ceramsite armor, causing the flesh and blood inside to evaporate and boil.

"This is wrong. The Death Guards are not that fragile." Alarm bells rang in Kano's heart.

However, the next second, the Death Guard who had fallen to the ground after being shot in the head stood up unsteadily, and his torn organs actually began to wriggle and regenerate, along with the rotten metal helmet.

However, the regenerated metal had a texture similar to flesh and blood mixed with bones, which made the Blood Angels even more horrified.

There were seven Death Guards in a row. They charged forward regardless of anything, the heavy grenade launchers in their hands spewing deadly flames and releasing dark green smoke.

The Blood Angels wearing adamantium armor instinctively used their shoulder armor to block the attacks, even though the technical sergeants and priests of the Mechanicum told them that the adamantium armor was not afraid of any individual-level firepower and only the main guns of a Titan or heavy tank could shake its defense.

But now, the habits formed over the long years saved them. The Blood Angels felt the bombs exploding on the adamantine shoulder armor, but there was no huge impact force.

It felt like the armor hit a rotten egg, leaving only a muddy, damp and disgusting feeling.

The explosive bomb attacks from the Death Guard left shallow traces of corrosion. The adamantium armor that would not rust even after tens of thousands of years was rusting in the face of the enemy's attacks.

Librarian Kano was also hit on the shoulder armor by the Death Guard. The enemy's firepower was extremely fierce, and even the psychic shield he released could not block all the attacks.

On his armor, a winged ruby ​​blood bead was twisted and deformed in corruption. It was the symbol of the Blood Angels Legion.

Radon did not miss any details. He roared loudly in the communication channel, saying that the enemy had a way to corrode or even melt through the defense of the adamantine armor.

He responded with ferocious bolter fire, while another group of Blood Angels, armed with promethium flamethrowers or melta guns, fired continuously at the Death Guard area.

The emerald mirror on the helmet reflected the flames rising into the sky, and various data and icons entered the brain through the neural interface.

According to the Power Armour Meditator's calculations, it would only take three seconds of continuous burning to burn through and incinerate even the Space Marine's ceramsite power armour, but these enemies before them could obviously endure the damage for longer.

The Death Guard are becoming more resilient.

Radon quickly threw a melta grenade with a countdown, which blew a gap in the Death Guard infantry formation.

Following the gap, he took the lead and began a flanking attack with the Holy Blood Guard. The filthy Warp gods did use witchcraft to strengthen these enemies, but this was not invincible.

They're just a little more difficult.

Kano followed behind Radolon. They shouted the name of Sanguinius, and the explosive weapons and plasma guns in their hands were fully charged, ready to kill at any time.
