The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

"Yeah, but I can't understand it."

"That's normal, since you still have a long way to go, but let's talk about other things for now."

----

The arrival of the Astartes Chapter was a surprise to Credion, and then this chapter called the Nebula Hammer immediately gave him another surprise, a Brutal Blade super-heavy tank.

At the same time, Credien didn't understand why this regiment would send down this precious relic-class tank. The tank's twin rapid-fire cannons could tear apart bunkers and destroy war machines. The destroyer cannons as secondary weapons and the quadruple laser cannons on both sides could even be used as the main weapons of some light tanks. Wasn't it a bit of an overreaction to use this kind of firepower to fight against the Chaos rebels who didn't even have many armored units?

However, the appearance of such a tank also greatly improved the morale of the PDFs, and with the coordination of infantry and tanks, the losses suffered by the PDFs would be smaller.

"Prepare to attack!" Awei popped his head out of the tank and pointed his finger at the sky on the traitor's side.

Credien looked up and saw two Astartes airdrop pods falling through the clouds towards the area occupied by the traitors. The Nebula Hammer Regiment sent out two tactical teams.

After the Astartes drop pod landed, Credien gave the order:

"attack!"

However, Credien was wrong. Two airdrop pods did not mean two tactical teams, because the Nebula Hammer did not have so many people at all. The remaining four people were divided into two groups, so two airdrop pods were used.

The two airdrop pods landed in different locations, with Apu and Xianyu in one group and Ou Ge and Eryu in another. Before the smoke and dust from the airdrop pods had settled, explosive bombs shot out at the same time as the hatch fell, killing the Chaos believers who had rushed over and were about to surround them.

Apu walked out of the airdrop chamber with a bolt gun in his hand, and his precise bursts of fire continuously harvested the lives of Chaos believers. Xianyu held a bolt pistol in one hand and a chainsaw sword in the other, and while shooting, he hacked and killed Chaos believers who tried to approach him. The laser guns in the hands of Chaos believers would not even leave a mark on the ceramic steel armor.

"Brother Ou, Eryu, how are things going over there?" Apu contacted the second team.

"Landed safely, fighting is underway." Brother Ou replied.

"Okay, proceed as planned."

The communication ended, and Apu dodged a huge laser by moving sideways. The laser grazed his chest armor and left a mark. He looked over and saw a Chimera armored personnel carrier coming towards him.

"Xianyu, hurry up and do it."

"What are you so anxious about? Can't you see I'm busy?"

Xianyu killed a few more Chaos believers and dodged a multi-barrel laser. He then put the bolt pistol and chainsword back to his waist and took off the plasma gun hanging on his leg armor.

He didn't have time to get close and throw an armor-piercing grenade, so he used this plasma to attack the opponent's top lane!

Charge up—launch!

A high-temperature plasma ball flashing with blue light melted through the front armor of the Chimera troop carrier and exploded in the hull, and the entire Chimera exploded and scattered.

"The armored vehicle is done."

White hot air spewed out of the heat dissipation port of the plasma gun. After cooling down, Xianyu switched the plasma gun back to normal mode and began to shoot Chaos believers.

The Chimera was dealt with, and the Chaos believers in the area also lost the ability to directly kill the Astartes. Apu and Xianyu rushed towards the nearest fortifications, and the two of them were to take down these positions.

On the other side, Ou Ge and Er Yu’s mission was to behead. Gloria marked the location where the power of chaos was the strongest. The traitor leader was most likely in this place.

The two advanced all the way to a building near the edge of the area. This building had been converted into an altar to please the evil god. Outside alone was a pile of corpses arranged in various shapes. The souls of these tower residents had been sacrificed to the Chaos Evil God. As the ceremony progressed, these corpses would become channels for demons to come into reality.

Ou Ge and Er Yu originally wanted to enter the building together, but considering that the enemies would continue to arrive, the two decided to act separately. Ou Ge would block the incoming enemies outside, while Er Yu would enter the building and kill the traitor leader.

"Eryu, be careful."

After reminding Eryu, Brother Ou threw out an incendiary grenade and used the Burner one-handed flamethrower to set the surrounding corpses on fire. This was specially prepared by him for places with serious chaos pollution, so that the corpses would not stand up during the fight.

"It's just a one-man beheading. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Eryu made an OK gesture to Ou Ge and began to move towards the interior of the building.

Flaroni, who was at the center of the altar, had already learned about the situation on the battlefield. He could never have imagined that an Astartes regiment would arrive here in such a short time.

"Damn, why is this happening!"

First, Nurgle showed up and disrupted his plans of all those years, exposing him to the Inquisitor. Then, an Astartes Chapter showed up during the ritual. Was there really no Blue Bird interfering?!

Flaroni has sensed that the enemy is approaching the altar, and his demon exaltation ritual will take some time to complete. Although he has summoned some Slaanesh demons, he has not yet been able to truly open the warp channel.

Kill all enemies who try to get close to the altar!

Flaroni gave orders to the daemons of Slaanesh and the worshippers outside the altar, while he himself focused all his attention on the unfinished ritual.

Er Yu approached the altar little by little. A pink and purple sticky substance that looked like flesh and blood covered the walls of the building. The closer he got to the inside, the more of this substance there was. Some places even had disgusting tentacles growing out of them.

Along the way, Eryu also encountered enemy obstructions. Ordinary believers were no match for Astarte, but soon Eryu also encountered some decent enemies.

Four 'beautiful' girls appeared in front of Eryu, they exuded a pleasant smell and fiddled with their bodies.

Eryu raised his explosive pistol and fired. The girl dodged the explosives nimbly, but her true colors were revealed.

Slaanesh/Succubus, these crab-clawed hermaphrodites often appear in a person's most beautiful form until they decide to kill the other person, at which point they return to their true form.

"A noble and beautiful warrior."

"Why not throw yourself into the arms of a prince."

These four lust demons seemed to have seen through something. They tried to seduce Er Yu, but to no avail.

"Can this ladyboy just stay away from me?"

Er Yu only felt disgusted by the lust demon. He had an ugly androgynous appearance and a sound that was harsher and more unpleasant than a cat scratching a blackboard. Who on earth would be tempted by such a thing?

Seeing that the lure failed, the demons screamed and dispersed to attack from different directions.

Eryu drew out the Chanabal saber, and in a flash, he cut in half the succubus that jumped up and wanted to attack from above. Then he used the blade to continuously deflect the claws of the two succubus in front of him, seized the opportunity to split the head of one of the succubus, turned around and beheaded the succubus that wanted to attack from behind with a single sword, turned his back to block the attack from behind, and turned back to cut off the arm of the last succubus. Before the succubus could react, the saber pierced its head.

The flowing sword skills killed all four succubi in less than five seconds. It was swift and deadly, leaving no chance for the Slaanesh demons to enjoy the pain.

But the battle was not over yet. Two succubi with huge claws were riding on Slaanesh's steed, a bipedal demon that looked like a cross between an anteater and a velociraptor, and rushed towards Eryu from a distance.

This was a Slaanesh cavalry unit called Seekers. Eryu raised his gun and shot at one of them, but was easily avoided. Another Seeker crashed into Eryu first. The moment it passed by Eryu, the head of the Slaanesh horse was directly cut off. The fallen succubus was shot in the head by a bolt pistol before he could stand firm.

Because thermal weapons are not very effective against demons, Eryu directly emptied the magazine in his hand. At this time, the seeker who was delayed by the explosive bomb also rushed over. Eryu slid forward and cut off the two legs of Slaanesh's horse. The succubus jumped off the horse. Eryu threw the saber through the succubus's head, and quickly replaced the magazine of the explosive pistol with a new one. He pressed against the head of Slaanesh's horse that was recovering its legs and emptied the explosive bomb again.

The bodies of the succubus and the steed of Slaanesh quickly vanished, the bodies of dead demons dissipating in the physical universe, indicating that the demons had been banished back to the warp.

Eryu picked up the saber on the ground. He never drew out the second Chanabal saber from his waist.

"There should be no more."

As Er Yu finished speaking, a large monster that looked like a hybrid of human, animal and insect - a Slaanesh demon broke through the wall and appeared in front of Er Yu.

"It's not over yet."

Helpless, Eryu could only continue fighting.

After using up most of his equipment, Er Yu was finally only one door away from the altar. He counted the remaining things on his body. Apart from the unused thermal pistol, there was only an ordinary grenade left.

But Eryu felt that this was enough. If he couldn't fight, he could just chop with two knives.

Kicking open the door of the altar, Er Yu did not see the leader of the Chaos traitors inside. In the middle of the altar was only an indescribable, horrible monster with a twisted and swollen shape.

"What the hell is this?" Er Yu did not draw out the melta pistol, but prepared to continue fighting the enemy with a saber.

The monster called Chaos Spawn roared and attacked the enemy in front of it.

Chapter 22 We have someone in our group

The Chaos believers' positions were being torn apart. Any resistance was futile under the firepower of the Brutal Blade. There was no need for the twin rapid-fire cannons to fire. The two quadruple laser cannons as secondary weapons alone were enough to penetrate the entire position.

The enemy's conventional firepower is only enough to scratch the enemy, and rocket launchers cannot penetrate armor. Those enemies who want to perform a board charge with thermal bombs will be killed as soon as they show their heads.

"Wu~ It feels so good! This breakthrough was so easy and effortless. Do you understand what it means to be one with the car?"

Awei drove the tank to slaughter all Chaos believers who blocked his way. The data cables connected to his power armor allowed him to control the vehicle as easily as controlling his hands and feet. With Gloria's assistance, there were no blind spots in Awei's vision.

"Stop shopping outside and come in to help Brother Ou, Eryu and the others." Xianyu shouted in the communication channel.

Xianyu and Apu have almost cleared out the internal defensive points, and the rest can be left to PDF to handle.

"Who's shopping? I'll go back and check the kill record later. I must have killed more than you guys."

"The carrier dog is in trouble."

"Why don't you open the salted fish? If you haven't killed as many as I have, don't shout!"

After saying that, Awei switched the communication channel and contacted Credien who was still behind:

"I've opened a gap in the frontal defense for you, and the enemies inside have been defeated by the tactical team. I'm going to go support my battle brothers first. The rest is up to you."

"I understand. Thank you for your help, Brother Astartes."

After notifying Credien, Awei stepped on the accelerator and drove into the area. He picked up Apu and Xianyu on the way, and then killed his way to the building where the altar was located, helping Brother Ou who was defending it.

"Why did you come so late? I'm almost out of bullets."

"Now that you're here, stop complaining and go in and help Eryu."

Apu threw a few magazines to Ou Ge. Except for Awei who continued to drive the tank to block the door, the remaining three rushed directly to the altar.

Rushing into the altar, the three saw Er Yu pulling the saber out of the head of a huge monster.

Eryu turned around and saw the three people who had just come in:

"Why are you here just now? I've already killed them all. Come and see what this is and why the bodies haven't disappeared."

In fact, the battle was over before the three people came in. This monster looked ferocious but was actually quite weak. After a few rounds, Er Yu stabbed its head through. But because the body did not disappear like the previous demons, Er Yu stabbed it a few more times.

Others may not be real chapter leaders or company commanders, but Eryu must be the real chapter champion in terms of individual combat effectiveness.

"This thing looks like a Chaos Egg. And where is the traitor leader? Isn't he here?" Apu looked at the monster. This bloated appearance was only suitable for a Chaos Egg.

Chaos Eggs are monsters created when creatures mutate because they cannot bear the blessing of the evil god. These monsters have not yet completely become demons, so their corpses will not disappear.

"I don't know. This is all I saw when I came here."

Everyone asked Gloria, wanting to know if the traitor leader had escaped through other exits, but Gloria said there was no other exit in this place, and she had been monitoring the life units in this area.

"That's strange. If there's no other exit, where did that person go?"

Apu observed the entire altar and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Could this be the leader of the traitors?"

It is indeed a reasonable explanation that the traitor leader turned into a Chaos Spawn because he could not withstand the power of the demon ascension ritual.

"That may be the case, but based on the energy fluctuations I observed, although this ritual was aborted, it wasn't a complete failure."

Gloria informed everyone of the data she had observed. If the ritual had failed, the subspace energy should have gradually dissipated, but the energy suddenly disappeared.

"I don't quite understand."

Yunchui didn't understand anything about the demon raising ritual, as long as he killed all the enemies, there would be no problem.

"We'll investigate this thoroughly later. It's time to run. The Inquisitor should be here soon."

----

Luochen left.

Just as he came, he said a bunch of incomprehensible words and then suddenly left.

Alan was confused. Was the person here really a Grey Knight? Why was he different from the rumors he had heard? Or was this just what the Grey Knights were like?

"If you want these people to survive, you know what to do."

Alan remembered what Luochen said before he left. The other party obviously knew his concerns.

But are the Grey Knights so reasonable? Isn't it Grey Knight rule to eliminate all witnesses?

Perhaps I was lucky enough to have encountered an exceptional case among the Grey Knights.

"Everyone, take note. If you wish to survive, keep that Astartes and everything that just happened to yourself. Do not mention a single word about it."

Alan also didn't think that warnings alone would be enough to shut everyone up. When it was over, he would want to find a psychic to erase these people's memories.

If my spiritual power can be stabilized by then, I will be the one to erase the memories of these people.

Since Luochen defeated that wave of zombies, this position has not been attacked again in the subsequent period of time. The PDFs were able to rest for a while. Alan also received a communication from Credien at this time.

"Alan, the battle on the top of the tower is over. Support will be sent to the Upper and Lower Nests soon. You can return now."

"Teacher, you dealt with the traitor so quickly?"

"I have the assistance of an Astartes Chapter, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy."

Astartes? Grey Knights? No, if it were the Grey Knights, the Master wouldn't have spoken in such a relaxed tone.

"Teacher, can you tell me what this regiment is called?"

"The chapter's name is the Nebula Hammer."
