After making the plan, Foros did not watch his subordinates carry out the mission, but took them there together.
Facts have proved that Foros's insistence on rescuing civilians is not without confidence.
The ten Astartes spread out as they advanced, entering the settlement from all directions. They were incredibly fast and silent.
Gray couldn't imagine how the Astartes could run so fast in their heavy armor.
In the blink of an eye, the Astartes arrived near the settlement and dispersed into the buildings in the settlement.
This was not a infiltration, and Foros had no intention of infiltrating. After they rushed into the settlement at extremely fast speeds, they exchanged fire with the people in the building.
Foros climbed into a two-story building and shot with the bolt gun held in his right hand before the enemy could react. After instantly killing the enemies that could not be dealt with in close combat, he used the power spear to pierce the attack at a closer range. of enemies.
Foros is very agile in his movements. He sometimes squats and sometimes dodges left and right, stabbing the enemy while avoiding the enemy's attacks.
Each stab is not just about pushing the spear out with strength, but is carefully calculated from the force to the angle of the spear tip to ensure that it can kill the most enemies in a single attack.
Whenever Foros impales an enemy with his power spear, several enemies behind him will also be impaled.
The power spear is not very long, but the first person to be pierced will be pushed out by Foros, and then skewered with the second person.
After efficiently killing all the enemies, Foros pulled the spear out of the last bunch of enemy corpses, and then took a look.
This power spear was one of the supplies given by Qin Mo. It seemed to be made of metal similar to fine gold. But it's a pity that we haven't figured out how to activate the force field yet. In the previous battle, the power spear was not able to exert its due power at all.
Foros took his eyes away from the power spear and looked out the window.
One of his subordinates rushed out through the wall of the building and immediately shook his head when he found the Chapter Master looking at him.
It didn't take much communication for Flowers to understand what he meant.
No civilians were found.
Foros sighed helplessly, and at the same time raised his bolter and fired at a building 200 meters to the right.
The explosive bomb penetrated the barrel of the gun, sprayed flames from the tail for secondary propulsion, and flew forward at an extremely fast speed.
An enemy walking through the building carrying a melta bomb was hit in the torso, and his body was torn apart.
After eliminating a threat, Foros continued to advance through the settlement, walking through the buildings with his men who had searched a block, shooting any exposed enemies around them as they advanced.
Either through the window or through the wall, what actions they will take depends on how to reach the center of the settlement as quickly as possible.
Finally, Foros and all his subordinates converged at the center of the settlement. No one was accompanied by civilians, which proved that there were indeed no civilians in the settlement.
Foros and his men immediately evacuated, and after they broke out of the settlement, a larger enemy force just gathered.
……
"Amazing fighting power." Gray said to Flowers, who was walking towards him. He had heard Qin Mo say how powerful the Astartes were before, but now after reading it, he found that they were really strong.
It's not just that they are strong in terms of combat power, but their coordination and tactics are also very strong.
Maybe the plan that Foros just made was a bit reckless, but they still cooperated flawlessly.
Gray also speculated that if he entered the settlement by himself, he could kill all the people inside faster, but if he wanted to act together with other guards, they would kill each other, and there would be no cooperation between them.
Gray believes that the guards cannot cooperate as seamlessly as the Astartes, which is a shortcoming of the guards.
"There are no civilians inside." Foros told the result, and added some details, "They are wearing body armor and should be the local Planetary Defense Force. They have strange runes on their bodies, and their bodies are covered with ulcers. They are in the center of the settlement. The building is simply a morgue, with a large number of corpses inside, apparently civilians."
"Heretical sect?" Through the information described by Foros, Gray immediately realized that the settlement had been occupied by heretics.
It’s not strange for the Planetary Defense Force to become heretics. Wasn’t this the case before in the Tyrone Galaxy?
The plague is definitely related to heresy.
After a brief judgment, Gray talked about the civilians: "Look what I said, there are really no civilians in there, right?"
"After verification, it is true that there is not one, but what if there is one inside? Suppose there is a child squatting by the window, and outside the door is the heretic who is yelling and knocking on the door. He is staring outside and longing for someone to save him... If we storm the settlement, He will die faster than the heretic," said Foros.
Hearing this, Gray nodded, feeling that it really made sense, but he then said why he thought there were no civilians in the settlement: "My power armor has already scanned the settlement, and it will present the form of every living thing in the field of vision. Then analyze whether he is an enemy or a civilian, so..."
Frost did not blame Gray for not making it clear. He still insisted on his opinion: "Equipment is not always very reliable. If you make a mistake, you will regret it."
Gray knew that Foros would say this. He did not argue whether his equipment, which was built by Qin Mo himself, was reliable. He just continued to carry out the tasks assigned to him by Qin Mo.
"Ogryns, come up to me, face the settlement in front of you and clench your fists with your gauntlet-covered right hands, and then your weapons will fire."
"Letlings, you snipe the enemies escaping from the settlement. Don't let anyone escape."
After giving two orders in succession, Gray turned around and walked towards the settlement that was about to be bombed. As he walked, he took out a biological tissue extractor from his back.
This thing is the same tool used to extract substances from the rebel patriarch during the battle in the bottom nest.
"Lute knows how to fire, Lute is not stupid!" The largest Ogryn stepped forward and clenched his left hand towards the settlement in front of him.
Chapter five today. Sorry, brothers, it won't be so late tomorrow. I'll go to bed early tonight.
Chapter 132 The ruthless character is coming
"Left hand, left hand shoot!"
"No, no, it's the right hand. Shoot with the right hand!"
The leader walked up to the Ogryns and slapped their left hands. It was not until Ogryn among them, who claimed that he was not stupid, clenched his right hand that the first round of bombardment began.
The effect of firing the two heavy cannons on the back of the Ogryn Armor is similar to that of the Guards Armor, except that the range is longer and the coverage area is larger.
After every charge and fire, a building in the settlement was evaporated by the beam. The heretical enemies hidden in it couldn't even react to what happened in the first round of bombardment, so they were killed along with the buildings.
After the second round of bombardment, many enemies felt that something was wrong and quickly ran outside the settlement. However, their bodies were severely decomposed. Some had no legs after taking two steps, and some had their heads explode like pustules after running for a long time.
As for those who could still walk normally, they were shot by the Letlings with laser rifles.
The Leitling armor can clearly mark and enlarge the outline of every target in the field of view, and the muzzle direction and aiming point will also be displayed in the visor in real time. Their marksmanship was already good, but now it is perfect.
When the Letlings were sniping away the fleeing enemies, Foros would shoot at the corpses. His approach immediately aroused the suspicion of the Letlings present.
"Why do you waste explosive bombs on corpses, my lord?" A Letling stopped shooting, raised his head and looked up at Foros in confusion and asked.
The height difference between the two sides meant that the Letling man had to raise his head hard, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see Foros's head.
Foros knelt down in front of the Letling and pointed out to him a body that had just been shot but not shot by bolters.
The corpse shivered twice on the ground, and then got up again.
The corpse was fearless and walked towards the Space Marines Ogryn and Lytlin who were firing at the settlement. Although it had no fear at all, it moved extremely slowly, making incomprehensible whimpers as it moved forward.
"Ouch...ow...woo..."
"Plague zombies." Foros pointed at the corpse and said, "It is not common for people to resurrect from the dead, but it does happen. I have seen similar situations in some battles before."
The Letling quickly raised his gun and shot through the heart of the zombie, but the laser only passed through the body and did not knock down the zombie.
It wasn't until Foros raised his hand and shot the zombie's upper body to pieces that the corpse slowly stopped and fell to the ground.
"Use a powerful weapon, preferably a flamethrower, to burn it cleanly," Foros said.
At this time, Gray had returned, holding a tube of biological tissue in his hand: "The mission is completed, we will go back after killing all the enemies here."
"Is one tube enough?" Foros asked, pointing to the biological tissue. "Maybe there is a mutant plague or something in their bodies."
Gray said nothing, turned around and opened a small storage compartment of the jetpack, which contained a large number of biological tissue extractors.
Foros couldn't help but wonder, wondering when this guy had extracted so much biological tissue.
The settlement was bombarded by Ogreen. The experimental data of Ogreen A and Letlin A have been stored in the database of the power armor. The mission was successfully completed, and everyone returned to the battleship in a transport plane.
……
After one hour.
After Gray obtained the biological tissue, Qin Mo immediately started researching it.
Gray stood aside and watched quietly as Qin Mo used the biological tissues obtained in the mission just now on various instruments and equipment.
Those biological tissues exuded a strong stench, which was only slightly lighter than the smell in the cabin filled with Ogryn when he went to see Klein.
In addition to Qin Mo and Gray, there were two other people present.
They are Vic, a priest from the Adeptus Mechanicus, and Chuck, an informal inquisitor.
Vic stood next to Qin Mo, quietly watching him conduct experiments.
Chuck, on the other hand, was hiding far away from Gray, frowning and twisting his nose as he watched Qin Mo tinker with the biological tissues.
When the research progressed and it was time to wait, Qin Mo stood in front of the device with a straight face, looking at the screen.
The screen was playing the scene of the Lytlings and Ogryns fighting in power armor just now. This was what Qin Mo cared about most.
"Your Governor is a ruthless character." Chuck suddenly whispered to Gray, "He can still study such dirty and smelly things. I can't stand it anymore."
"Since you can't bear to watch it, why do you still want to stay here?" Gray asked. He not only felt that Chuck didn't need to stay here, but also felt that Chuck couldn't stay here at all.
Vic is the only one allowed to enter the hive world.
"This plague is too sudden and strange. We need to investigate the source of this plague. However, I don't need to go deep into the place where the plague is. I just need to wait for your governor to share the data on plague research with me." Cha. K replied.
"So another colleague of yours is responsible for investigating the plague in depth?" Gray then asked.
As an inquisitor, Chuck showed surprising honesty on this issue. He said without hesitation: "There will indeed be someone responsible for investigating the plague, and that is Lord Horst."
Gray didn't know who Horst was. He looked at Chuck in confusion, not knowing why.
"Lord Horst...the Immortal Judge...the news I got is that he wants to deal with the plague, but in fact, I personally think that he is also here to deal with matters related to the Tyrone galaxy." Chuck seemed interested. He leaked some information, as if he was prompting him to tell Gray more things, and at the same time glanced at Qin Mo. These words were obviously meant for Qin Mo.
Gray still didn't know who Horst was, but Qin Mo knew. He turned to look at Chuck: "Is there only one person named Horst in your trial court?"
"Don't call him by his first name, Governor." Chuck winked and shook his head, but then nodded, "There is indeed only one. Since you asked, you must know who he is."
Qin Mo nodded and looked at Vic, who also looked at Qin Mo with his electronic eyes.
Qin Mo recalled why Chuck came here because Vic gave a guarantee. He guaranteed that the inquisitor was not hostile to the Tyrone Galaxy and was willing to reveal a lot of important information.
Horst's arrival is one of the important pieces of information.
After hearing the news, Qin Mo frowned and carefully searched for information about Horst in his mind.
Horst, whose real name is Eiland Brandt, is a senior judge of the Inquisition. He was once active in the Gothic War. He is one of the very few people in the Inquisition who knows about the existence of the Hand of Darkness device. It is simply a living secret information repository.
He has lived to be at least a thousand years old, and will continue to live unless something unexpected happens. He will even meet the Inquisitor when the Primarch Guilliman is resurrected in the future, and discuss how to close the Eye of Terror.
"Horst, this is a ruthless character." Qin Mo said to himself.
