Chapter 412: Fighting to the death and falling into the abyss again
Under the light curtain of blazing lasers, hundreds of space fighters soared away. They were not afraid of the Zerg swarm that was several times larger than their own.
The fighters were dispersed to escort the assault fleet that was boarding. The vacuum area cleared by the sacrifice of five warships was gradually being filled by the Tyrannian crone, and they had less than ten minutes to act.
Everyone was fighting in silence. Apart from the occasional explosions, people could only feel the death of their comrades through the disappearance of signals.
It was a silent death, and no one could hear the wailing in the silence. What urged them on was responsibility, hatred, and the unyielding belief.
[2400 meters from the landing site, 30 seconds, everyone is ready - the Greater Good protects you and me, the blessing of An.Wa...]
The onboard AI reminded the Tau warriors, and the soldiers in their XV46 combat uniforms encouraged each other with chanted prayers, wishing their comrades "good luck in the military."
"2400 meters from the landing site, 30 seconds, everyone is ready - I will destroy those who want to destroy me, because fear is like nothingness, and I have unparalleled faith..."
Likewise, in the human boarding ship next door, the servoskulls were also singing loudly, but unlike the Tau's soothing and encouragement, Asta's unique response was just to pull the bolt in silence.
The crew nodded to the Air Caste soldiers, and the Tau warriors nodded in return. Today they put aside their prejudices and formed an alliance. If they survived, they would probably sympathize with each other.
"BOOM!"
The flames of the explosion illuminated the faces of the soldiers in the neighboring ship, but their emotions did not allow them to regret, because the next second the assault ship sank into the insect body, the hot melt gun head melted the flesh and blood, and carried them with unstoppable force.
"Log in!"

Explosive shells and rapid-fire cannons fired in unison, with the Centurion heavy armor taking the lead. The double wrist cannons were all Kraken armor-piercing shells, targeting the thick shells of the Zerg.
The Destroyer heavy firepower team quickly took their positions and used whatever laser cannons, ion cannons, multi-meltas, heavy flamethrowers, heavy bombs, missile launchers, and gravity cannons they had.
15 seconds after landing, the counterattack line was formed and began to push forward directly. Amid the bombardment, various tactical teams quickly followed up and sent beacons into the flesh.
The beam of light landed on the ground, and before the Tau soldiers could react, the Dreadnought armor quickly landed on the ground, holy prayers resounded, and it roared and charged towards the Zerg.
Within 5 minutes, as many as 600 Astartes and 300 XV46 combat suits landed on the mothership. They began to proliferate like deadly germs on the kilometer-wide wound of the mothership.
...
"It's impossible... Huhu... No one will receive our distress signal... Xia Siwei, where is Orinte?" The man in combat suit stopped running and said breathlessly.
The soldier whose arm was bitten off could not bear the pain, so he slid down to the ground against the sticky wall and said in pain:
"Huff, huff.. I didn't see it when I turned the corner just now."
The only soldier who still had the rapid-fire cannon checked the magazine, sighed, and threw it down.
"We are out of ammunition, and the combat suit only has enough energy to last for two hours."
The other two checked their own conditions and found that they were basically the same as the other party.
"Gone.."
"Huh... that's it."
"ZZZAAAAA!"
Before the three of them could catch their breath, a knife bug passing by discovered the people hiding in the corner, screamed and called their brothers to prepare for a feast.
"You two should run, run to the wound of the mothership. At least the escape pod of the combat suit can take you away. If you are lucky, you can even return to the ship. I can't do it anymore. I'll stay here to buy some time."
The wounded Tau soldier stood up again, pushing the other two, picking up the barrel of his gun and preparing to fight for his life.
The two men couldn't bear to abandon them, but the swarm of insects with bared fangs did frighten them. Too many brothers had died, and they had witnessed too much.
"Tell her I broke my promise..."
"Take another look at the blue sky of the enclave for me..."
"Help me water the orchids..."
...
"Come on!"
The insect swarms and the armless warrior cannot stop them at all...
"Whoosh."
"BOOM!"
The speeding missile passed over the two men, and the roar of the explosion drowned out the hissing of the swarm of insects. Then three Terminator armors passed over the two men, and their heavy grenade launchers spit out tongues of fire to sweep away the swarm of insects.
There are also fish caught in the net, but unlike the Tau, humans prefer to rely on themselves.
The chainsaw sword on the wrist made a buzzing sound, and the domineering insect was dismembered on the spot.
When the two first Tau warriors who landed were stunned, the second wave of Tau warriors who landed quickly approached, and in excitement, they comforted them and asked:
"Amazing! You are still resisting stubbornly. Is that Lin Heng in the mothership? Where is he now?!"
The two Tau warriors were somewhat dazed. They had not expected such a result to await them. When asked the question, they hesitated and said:
"We are the first team, he... he should be in the third team with Commander Farsighted... his location... is hard to determine, probably about 2-3 kilometers deeper."
The second wave of Tau hesitated a little, not sure if it was because they heard the traitor's name or because of the distance.
[Astarte, the preliminary beacon location has been sent to the processing center, please check, the distance is 2.5 kilometers. ]
"Received, advance."
Inquisitor Clark waved his halberd to dismember the insects while commanding his team to approach the target unit.
Eight hours have passed since the Farsight ship boarded the mother ship.
Whether it is humans, the Tau, or the Tyranids, they have all suffered heavy losses so far, and the encirclement and suppression outside space has been suspended.
The troops of both sides began to regroup, preparing to turn the ships around and start a new round of attack and defense.
The universe is silent, but the floating ships are in dire straits, repairing, healing, reloading, cursing...
"Try your father's big axe. Do you like it? Mm! I'll fill it up for you!"
The Death Watch from the Space Wolves were hacking at Zerg corpses with all their might. When they heard a whistling sound in the wind, they raised their hands and fired a shot.
The bomb swirled away, and the figure that appeared quickly blocked it, but his tired body and damaged combat uniform could not withstand the impact of the explosion.
"Pfft!"
"Fuck, wrong number."
The kill team quickly followed up, clearing out the swarm of insects that wanted to devour strangers, and when everyone saw that the person who crashed seemed to be a Tau combat uniform, they quickly took off his helmet and injected him with a shot of cardiac stimulant.
"Uh and!"
Yuanjian opened his eyes and gasped. When he saw that the beast-like fellow in front of him was a Space Marine, he was full of doubts but still said calmly:
"I am Yuanjian, following Mr. Lin Heng to the Jericho Sector to stop the Tyranid swarm. He is in great danger now..."
Upon hearing the news about Lin Heng, Space Wolf immediately put on his helmet and excitedly said to the audio channel:
"Found it! Found it!"
"How to say!"
"It's a guy called Yuanjian, who said that Lin Heng is in danger."
"Bullshit, who isn't in danger right now? Where is Lin Heng?"
The Space Wolf was scolded by Clark, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it and still happily asked about Lin Heng's situation.
"He's in a very wrong situation. I've also experienced this kind of inability to control myself on the planet Morok. He seems to have lost control of himself.
We wanted to continue destroying the internal structure of the mothership, but a powerful Zerg Titan caused us to fall apart. He led the enemy away to protect me, and I couldn't abandon him.
The right-hand vessel, I placed a beacon on it, but it suddenly disconnected three minutes ago... The ships outside, are my brothers and sisters okay?"
After Yuanjian handed the marker to the other party, he closed his eyes. He might think that today would be his final end.
"It's really troublesome. I can't see it by myself if I go out. The beacon point has been sent to the communication channel. It is recommended to concentrate the team to guard against large units."
After the Space Wolf finished speaking, he led his men into the tunnel. Farsight lay under the squirming flesh membrane, looking at the wounds that were visibly repairing, then he stood up and followed.
...
"Distance 130 meters, direction 11 o'clock, height 12 meters, brain worm behind the node meat protrusion!"
"Defend the left side and blow up the blood vessel tunnel to prevent the swarm from approaching."
"Executioner! Executioner! 16 of them in front of you, set up the gravity cannon!"
"There is a vibration under your feet, be careful of the stubborn python. Don't get close to the corners with twisted flesh and blood, beware of Licat's sneak attack."
"Kill Team 11, take care of that damned Insect, be careful of the Tyrannical Worm's shooting!"
"Push forward! Keep pushing forward! It's in that huge cavity inside! That's the nest cavity for producing insect ships."
Probably in the central area of the mothership, in a large and a small cavity, a Zerg ship the size of a frigate was being bombarded by hundreds of Astartes and Tau soldiers.
Being inside the nest cavity, the shaping and reproduction process of Zerg ships is eye-opening, and the shock it brings makes everyone shudder.
The massive swarm of insects has made sufficient preparations here, and the wide area is just right for their attack tactics: knocking down, drowning and then devouring.
Missiles were flying, lasers were shooting, bombs were roaring, plasma was melting, blood and flesh were flying, limbs were shattered, signals disappeared, and everything sank into the pool.
"Buzz!!!!"
As the battle was in full swing, a deafening roar continued to reflect in the arc-shaped barrier of flesh and blood.
The wall of flesh and blood was shaking continuously, and before the smell of burning reached everyone's nose, a person slipped down from the barrier vaporized by the psychic beam like a meteor, and with a "bang" he plunged into the swamp.
Dozens of psychic insect soldiers such as neuron worms, brain worms, and evil peeping worms were suspended in the nest cavity. The psychic power around them was condensed into substance, and signal arcs were "crackling" and connected to each other.
The appearance of this scene was like pressing a switch, making the surrounding environment immediately feel suffocated.
The usual swarms of Tyranids were already making everyone miserable, and now with so many psychic insect species suddenly appearing, their hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
"Go up and help!"
Clark, wearing the force-feedback Inquisitor power armor, didn't care about the psychic bugs at all. When Lin Heng's figure was smashed into the flesh and blood ground by the psychic beam, she immediately sent people to help.
Some of them didn't even wait for her order, and rushed ahead, passing the crowd and reaching the pit of melted flesh and blood, including the disguised Salamander Captain and other Alpharius with different identities.
"It's your turn!"
Then, she seemed to start shouting at an empty place in the air. Before she finished the sentence, shadows began to flow around her and more than a dozen demon heads rolled down.
That’s right, it was the devil’s head. Those objects that shouldn’t exist in the real space were now rolling strangely on the deck of the mothership.
When those heads stopped rolling in the dark cabin, a strange sticky substance was discharged from their heads, and then a strange crimson-purple light suddenly released from their opened mouths.
The connection to the warp suddenly became heavier, and the thin psychic energy became tighter under the influence of the Grey Knight's cursed object.
In silence, 17 "Star Gates" opened behind the psychic insect species, and 17 figures jumped out from the dim light circle.
The light emitted by the axe and halberd with the "Psychic Blow" attached illuminated the insect body.
On the faces of those insects, which were either looking back to observe, or gathering energy to defend, or using their tentacles, horns, and limbs to attack, people seemed to see expressions they had never seen before.
“Puka!!!”
"charge!!!"
Compared to the Tau, the blood-and-iron charge of the Astartes moved the Vision who had arrived. The battle cry that faced fear and difficulties without fear even made him want to shout out loud to boost his own prestige.
The Grey Knights and Ank'sir who had charged into the center of the army were trying to become invincible in the Zerg, but the Zerg would definitely not let them kill to their heart's content.
"SSSSAAAAACHAAAAAA!"
The frigate-sized insect ship in the nest was still growing. Although it had almost no outer shell because it was just born, it was blown to pieces by the boarding troops.
But its huge size is its reliance. Even if it is bombarded for another ten or eight minutes, it can still be full of energy.
Moreover, the corpses of the three tribes were floating up and down in the boiling pool, and they were constantly repairing the body of the ship while melting rapidly. If these guys were allowed to go into battle, they would be even more terrifying than the Titan units.
The battle has completely entered a white-hot stage, and at this moment, in the 100-meter pit, the key figure of the incident also returned to the battlefield.
Under the horrified gaze of the warriors of the three tribes, Lin Heng, whose body was nearly 60% melted, walked out of the pit step by step.
The blood evaporated in his unreasonable anger, but the flesh and blood of the mothership under his feet turned into pure life energy in the burning state and returned to Lin Heng's body.
The bones were growing and the flesh was repairing, everything was so shocking to watch. But when the protagonist's face was completely restored, the eight-pointed star logo on it made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom.
"RRUUAAAAAAA!"
