Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 711 The Battle of Kamas 8
The roar of the chainsaw sword and the energy hum of the power sword became the main theme of the battlefield.

The Holy Blood Angels formed a tight formation, covering each other, using shields to block and slashing with sharp blades.

Each Holy Blood Angel warrior displayed superb skills honed through millennia of battle. They often needed to engage a vampire in combat for several seconds before finding an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

The power gauntlets smashed the demon's head, and the lightning claws tore apart its burning body, but the demon's counterattack was equally deadly.

The Flame Sword can occasionally find the seams of power armor or shatter the shoulder armor, causing real damage.

After slaying two vampires in succession, a Blood Angel warrior was ambushed from the side by a third. A flaming sword pierced his chest and abdomen. He roared and plunged his chainsaw sword into the demon's body, taking it down with him. The fiery red power armor was engulfed by the blazing flames the moment he fell.

Casualties were inevitable, but the assault continued its resolute advance.

Leona is the undisputed core member, and her presence greatly alleviates the pressure on the Blood Angels.

She not only bore the brunt of the impact, but the golden light emanating from the Lion King Sword seemed to have a suppressive effect on the surrounding demons, making their movements slightly slower and the flames dimmer.

"Left side! Fleshhound pack!" roared a Blood Angel officer.

Several red figures sprang out of the ruins on the flank with astonishing speed, rushing toward the waist of the assault formation.

These twisted, hound-like demons are incredibly fast, and their claws and teeth contain a soul-tearing malice.

"I'll go!" Tycho roared, leading a small squad of Holy Blood Angels to meet them.

The explosive gun briefly fired to slow its charge, followed by a brutal close-quarters battle.

The fleshhounds pounced with extraordinary ferocity. A Blood Angel was knocked to the ground, his power armor scraping horribly under their claws. He braced his arm against the hound's throat, while his other hand gripped a combat dagger and stabbed wildly into its abdomen until his comrade plunged a chainsaw into the demon's side.

Leona noticed the danger on her flank, but she couldn't afford to be distracted.

A greater threat has emerged directly ahead.

Several Khorne's Blood Crushers, resembling mobile slaughterhouses, slowly emerged from the end of the burning street, surrounded by vampires.

These massive demonic engines, studded with countless agonizing skulls, enormous crushing wheels, and wielding mechanical arms with hooks and chainsaws, exude a despairing sense of oppression.

"Armored units! Concentrate fire and take down those blood-crushing vehicles!" Leona commanded over the comms, while simultaneously increasing her speed to tear a deep enough gap before the demonic engines fully deployed.

The Crimson Crescent's tanks and missile vehicles responded immediately.

The Cyclone missile streaked across the sky, leaving a trail of flame, and landed precisely on the massive body of the Blood Crusher, exploding and scattering its skull and metal armor in a shower of fire and debris.

The Hellhound tanks also concentrated their fire in an attempt to disrupt its advance.

However, the Khorne Blood Crusher's defensive capabilities are astonishing. Conventional armor-piercing rounds and missiles seem unable to inflict fatal damage on it, only slowing its advance and leaving charred dents and damage on its surface.

A particularly tall vampire, seemingly the leader of this group of demons, stood on a blood-crushing cart, wielding a huge double-bladed battle axe, letting out a provocative roar, its scarlet eyes fixed on Leona, who was invincible on the front lines.

Leona saw it too.

She could sense that the presence of this demon leader greatly amplified the power and frenzy of the surrounding vampires.

"Tycho! Hold the line!" Leona only had time to issue a brief command before she suddenly exerted her strength, shooting towards the blood-crushing vehicle like a cannonball. She had to eliminate this obstacle.

The vampire leader laughed maniacally as he leaped off the blood-crushing cart, his massive double-bladed battle axe whistling through the air as it cleaved head-on at Leona!
The battle axe burned with crimson flames that were more intense and deeper in color than those of ordinary vampires—a destructive energy possessed only by a Khorne lord-level demon.

"clang--!"

The Lion King Sword and the Demon Battle Axe collided violently, unleashing a deafening roar and a blinding flash of energy. The golden holy power and the crimson blasphemous fire clashed fiercely, creating a visible shockwave that sent low-level vampires within several meters staggering.

Leona felt a tingling or numb sensation in her arm.

This demon leader's power far surpasses that of ordinary vampires, almost reaching champion level.

But she did not back down at all. She turned her sword around, deflected the force of the battle axe, and slashed at the demon's arm with her other hand.

The demon leader reacted swiftly, his battle axe swirling to parry, the axe blade colliding with the sword edge once more, sparks flying everywhere.

It roared furiously, swinging its battle axe like a whirlwind, each strike powerful and heavy, attempting to overwhelm Leona with sheer force.

The fighting around them intensified.

The Holy Blood Angels must withstand the increasingly frenzied demonic tide fueled by their leader's participation in the battle, while also remaining vigilant against harassment from the flesh hounds on their flanks and the slow advance of the blood-crushing chariots ahead.

Every second felt incredibly long, and every soldier was pushing their physical and mental limits to the limit.

Leona's battle with the demon leader is at the heart of this bloody vortex.

She was faster, her swordsmanship was more refined, and the Lion King Sword was more effective at restraining demons.

However, the demon leader's strength and ferocity compensated for its lack of skill, and it completely disregarded its own defense, attacking without any regard for its own. Its battle axe would often strike in a suicidal manner, forcing Leona to retreat and defend.

This will only drag us down.

Leona's eyes turned cold. After what appeared to be a forced parry, she deliberately created an opening and slightly lost her balance.

The demon leader fell for the trap as expected, and in a fit of ecstasy, he swung his battle axe with all his might at her seemingly exposed shoulders and neck.

It's now!

Leona's already "unbalanced" body suddenly sank and lunged forward at an abnormally high speed, almost skimming the ground as she passed under the demon's armpit!

At the same time, the Lion King Sword moved from bottom to top, and a golden arc of light precisely slashed into the demon leader's unprotected waist and abdomen!
"Pfft!"

The blade, imbued with imperial power, sliced ​​through the demon's spiritual body without any resistance.

The demon leader's charge suddenly froze, and his raging battle cry turned into an unbelievable scream of pain.

It looked down at the rapidly expanding, golden-flame-filled crack on its waist, trying to turn around, but its body had already begun to disintegrate and dissipate from the wound.

Leona didn't stop. The moment she stood up, the tip of her sword touched the ground, and she used the momentum to leap into the air again, directly onto the Khorne Blood Crusher that had come to a slight halt due to the loss of its driver!
The skulls on the blood-crushing vehicle emitted even more piercing screams as the massive crushing wheels and mechanical arms attempted to turn and attack the uninvited guest.

Leona raised the Lion King Sword high, gathering all her strength into the tip of the sword, and then plunged it fiercely into the largest skull on top of the Blood Crusher, which emitted the strongest fel energy!

"In the name of the Emperor, purify!"

Golden energy, like a volcanic eruption, poured from the tip of the sword into the core of the demon engine.

The blood-crushing vehicle trembled violently, its surface skull cracking one after another, and its metal structure twisting and melting under the impact of divine energy.

Finally, with a muffled explosion, the massive demonic engine disintegrated from the inside, turning into a pile of twisted scrap metal burning with golden flames.
