MTL - Warhammer Inquisitor-Chapter 623 Battle of the Beasts: Through the Hive Hole

  Chapter 623 The Battle of the Beasts: Crossing the Cave of the Worm Nest

  The power sword cut through the rolling steel, and the huge metal elevated frame immediately fell in front of Lancelot, and he beckoned the walking armor behind him to follow.

The huge four-legged Mechanicus "Wild Donkey" dune walker tank followed, surrounded by the Imperial Army with guns, and some Mechanicus Skitarii mixed in, their long The procession passed by tall rolled-steel barricades that towered at the foot of the mountains.

Lancelot continued to cut off the tall roadblocks blocking tanks and other vehicles in front. Ragnar also used his power ax to cut together. The two of them continued to chop with machetes just like explorers going through the jungle. Cut the vines and bushes in front of you.

   They were shot down, obviously, when Lancelot's team joined Ragnar after the fall of the Valkyrie, and they began to march together towards the rendezvous point.

   "How do you feel about the situation in the sky?"

   Ragnar asked.

  Lancelot looked up at the sky, the fighter planes were still biting in the sky, and the Infinity Frontier was nowhere to be seen, perhaps returning to a high-level orbit.

   "Don't know, but it looks like it's a little bit worse than we expected, but Cole will fix it, he always solves problems."

   "That's right, he is an expert in heavenly affairs, so let's keep busy with earthly affairs."

   Ragnar cut off the last piece of rolling steel as he spoke, and a passage leading directly to the foot of the mountain was cleared. The two of them came to the bottom of the mountain and looked up at the peaks above them.

   "How do we get there? The rendezvous point is on the other side, right?"

  Ragnar asked perplexedly. He suggested trying to climb over, but Lancelot refused. The two of them might climb over. They were Astartes.

   But the others behind him couldn’t do it, not to mention they were carrying tanks and walking mechs, these things had to be taken safely to the assembly point.

   Lancelot immediately ordered his men to start looking for a passage.

   "Go and see if there are other roads nearby."

   After a while, people from the Imperial Army threw them over and saluted the two of them.

   "You two Astartes, we have found a way."

  Lancelot and Ragnar followed. A cave crossed the cave at the foot of the mountain. The hot wind blowing from a distant place indicated that it did have an exit.

   "Are we going through here?"

  Ragnar frowned.

   "Fenris has a beard. I don't like this place at all. It reminds me of an icy cave at the foot of Mount Jotunheim with a monster in it."

   "And we have no choice, we must go to the rendezvous point."

  Lancelot decided after thinking for a while, he asked Ragnar for other opinions, and the latter really couldn't come up with a better idea, so he shrugged and agreed.

  The whole procession began to pass through the cave, Lancelot and Ragnar leading the way, and the two Astartes walking side by side, holding power swords and axes at the head of the procession.

The power ax in Ragnar's hand releases a high-temperature flame. It is different from Lancelot's sword, which is monotonous but reliable. The ax of Fenris has richer decorations. In addition to the golden giant wolf on the ax, the back is also connected There are two flame pipes, which heat the blade.

  On weekdays, Ragnar would use it to cut iron like mud, but now it serves as a bright torch, and he walks ahead of Lancelot.

  Lancelot observed the surrounding cave space vigilantly. They looked extraordinarily complex, with a large number of cavities, weathered rock walls, and huge grottoes like spider webs.

  He saw a bone among the stones, which looked like a local creature, not a human, but some kind of arthropod, Lancelot frowned slightly.

  Suddenly Lancelot heard something strange.

   "Stop! Load and load, there's a beast!"

   But it was too late for him to shout. A corporal of the Imperial Army was captured, and his screams were howling in the dark cave.

  Lancelot turned around, and cut off the thing that jumped down from the side with a sword. It was a creature with four insect wings, a sandy white body, and six honeycomb eyes.

   More creatures of the same kind appeared from all sides, from those grotto lairs, and swooped down from the heights with jaws flapping.

  Lancelot shattered a falling creature with a single shot, and his mind instantly remembered their name, Sandworm, which Omega had mentioned in the tactical briefing.

  They are herd creatures, and this is their lair. No wonder Ragnar has a bad feeling about this place.

  From the ground, the sandworm jumped up from the ground and pounced on Lancelot's back. The latter turned around and saw Ragnar come up and chop it with an axe.

  The scorching heat of the power ax instantly melted through its skeleton.

   "Did I say this is like the cave in Jotunheim?"

  Ragnar said braggingly, as if they won a bet in a tavern instead of in a cave full of monsters.

   "You are as wise as ever."

   Lancelot said angrily, one shot shattered the sandworm falling from above, and after its body exploded, the green liquid sprayed on Lancelot's face.

   "I wish Old Wolf was here, his lightning could help."

   "There's no need for him."

  Ragnar rushed forward with a smile, his ax hit several sandworms in the air, and their bodies fell to pieces in the team.

  The soldiers of the Imperial Army approached the tank. They fired fiercely with their backs against the armor. The fire from laser guns and solid ammunition illuminated the entire cave, making the sandworms even more terrifying when they passed by.

  They fell from the tank and captured many people. Their screams came from the dark grotto. Only the cathars were spared from such pain. Steel is better than flesh and blood.

  Lancelot saw with his own eyes that many of the catguards who had been captured retreated from the grotto and returned to the team. The sandworms only left a few small scratches on their bodies.

   "Everyone is ready to break through and leave."

Lancelot gave the order, and the tank behind him rumbled as a pioneer, and the dune walker passed over Lancelot's head. There was no room for its powerful main gun here, and one shot would collapse the entire cave. So only the self-defensive firepower at the top is unleashing the wrath of the ohm messianic.

  The machine guns hit the surroundings, smashing many sandworms.

But the sandworms rushed up and pulled down the Skitarii who was operating self-defense firepower. They picked it up and took it away. The machine guns that lost their shooters also swept across the cave at the top, and dropped a large piece of rock to block the attack. The way to go for dune walkers.

  Lancelot stopped, and he looked at the densely packed sandworms around him. They flew almost filling every inch of the field of vision.

   "Do you remember the Battle of Balk? The time we fought with Tyron 40 years ago? That time we were also in such a cave, fighting with God knows how many bugs."

   Ragnar said, he swung his ax and slashed around, helping an Imperial Army private to deal with the sandworms that jumped on him.

   "We had reinforcements that time."

   Lancelot said.

   "We also have this time."

  Ragnar said that Lancelot found those figures according to his reminder, and several people appeared in the cave, and slender tongues of fire sprayed towards this side.

  The flame ignited many sandworms, and they screamed and fell to the ground and were burned to death. The rest of the sandworms were also scared away by the flames, and fled back to their grottoes in panic.

  All the crises were resolved. After the sandworm left, the Imperial Army and the Skitarii stood up from the tanks again, and Lancelot watched the reinforcements approaching.

   "Yeta? Commissar Yarick?"

   "Hello, Lancelot, I hope we've arrived in time."

  The one-eyed Jarick was the one who came. Lancelot recognized his iconic body even before it appeared in the light.

   "We rushed over after seeing your Valkyrie fall, I guess you need help."

   "It's too timely."

  Ragnar said with a heroic smile, he carried the ax on his shoulder.

   But Lancelot found someone else.

"they are?"

He pointed to the strangers behind Yeta. They were all wrapped up tightly, with only a pair of eyes exposed. Besides, each of them was carrying a long gun, and the flame was ejected from the slender barrel of one of them. of.

   "My friend, I guess so, they're here to help."

   Yeta explained.

   "Where's the general?"

   "He's right up ahead."

  The two sides did not exchange any greetings, and quickly left through the cave. The dune walkers walked outside the cave, and Lancelot stood on the hillside and looked down at the landing point.

   There were scorched black wrecks everywhere, and the sand was burned into pieces of glass, sending fine waves on the ground like ocean waves.

   "Judge, we have arrived."

   Lancelot said.

   "But it looks like you don't need help anymore."

   "No, Lancelot, bring all your tanks, they will use them soon."

Vito said with a smile towards the hillside, he was standing on a paralyzed green leather tank, and behind him a huge landing ship landed from the lightning cloud, it was hanging tens of meters above the ground. Stopped, a knight titan crashed to the ground after the belly hatch opened.

It fell behind Vito and raised a large piece of shattered glass. The knight stood up slowly, and stood behind Vito with a chainsaw swinging his right arm. Behind it, two knights also fell. Hold behind.

  The latter stood in front of the Knight Titans, the windbreaker on his body fluttering in the wind.
