Chapter 138 03.0137: "Give your heart to the tireless!!!"
"Suicide soldier! Kill him!" a shield guard yelled, picking up a shotgun and shooting at the Khorne believer who was strapped with bombs.
The shotgun blast smashed the shirtless madman covered with Khorne tattoos into pieces.
The broken body flew forward a bit, and the Blood Pact soldier behind pressed the detonation switch.
boom!
Several shield guards were blown to the ground. Although the heavy boarding shields protected them from injury, the enemy rushed forward and tried to break through.
"Counterattack! Attack!!" Seeing the danger in the open space ahead, Horatio roared and raised his chainsword to point it at the enemy rushing in front of him.
Seeing this young officer standing so bravely at the forefront, wielding an Astartes chainsword that was unimaginable to mortals to kill the attacking enemies, the crew members could not help but be infected by his high morale and became excited and fanatical.
"The commander is already on the march, what the hell are you afraid of? Charge!" A senior sailor sergeant roared at the sailors behind him, waving a naval dagger.
As the patriarch of a nearby clan, he has unquestionable influence and appeal.
"For the sake of our superiors, for the sake of tirelessness! Charge!"
The ordinary sailors who were shocked by the bloody minced meat threw all their worries behind them. They quickly formed a team, picked up their weapons and rushed forward while shouting.
"Give your heart to the tireless!!!"
All the Imperial Sea warriors who followed Horatio launched a desperate counterattack against the Blood Pact troops who were rushing towards the bomb bay.
The sailors and men were mixed together, forming a thick human wall and charging straight at the invaders.
Although sailors usually hate sailors, not only do these sailors have better rations, better barracks, and do not live with sailors, but also because they are supervisors of discipline and act as military police. They are the ones who carry out punishments such as flogging and hanging, and are regarded by sailors as lackeys and thugs of naval officers.
But when the Indefatigable was attacked by invaders, they would put aside their past grudges, form mixed forces, rely on different weapons to coordinate together, and launch an attack on the invaders.
Amid the intersecting laser arrows, two different colored waves of void blue and scarlet collided violently.
The sounds of armor clashing, swords clashing, and bodies falling to the ground blended together.
The silver swords and spears gleamed brightly under the cabin lights.
The two sides thrust the tips of their bayonets and guns into each other's bodies, swung swords and axes in the air, viciously and mercilessly chopped at their opponents.
A sailor on Horatio's left was knocked down. The Blood Pact soldier rushed forward and prepared to stab him with a bayonet, but the fallen sailor grabbed the bayonet. Blood flowed from the sailor's palm along the bayonet and dripped onto the eagle on the breastplate.
The Blood Pact soldier suddenly raised his head and tried to pull back his bayonet, but was held tightly by the fallen sailor and could not pull it back. The moment he missed the opportunity, the Blood Pact soldier was stabbed through by another sailor who rushed over from the side with a roar.
But the sailor didn't even have time to draw out his bayonet before he was hit on the head by the Blood Pact axeman and fell to the ground.
Without waiting for the axeman to pull the axe from the corpse.
The armed sergeant who was rescued by Horatio and his reinforcements smashed his head with a bomb and then chopped off his arm with a sword.
But a fist came out of nowhere and hit her in the face, her lips were broken immediately and her face was covered with blood from her nose.
The sergeant endured the severe pain, gasped, and stabbed the attacker's mouth with his backhand.
"Stab them to death!"
Immediately afterwards, a row of sailors holding short spears charged at the Blood Pact soldiers from his side and pushed back the enemies who rushed out of the gap.
The scene was extremely chaotic and turned into a melee, with casualties increasing by dozens every minute and every second.
The wounded screamed and howled. A sailor with blood all over his face and a shattered helmet crawled out from Horatio's feet, covering the wound on his head.
Horatio helped him up and pushed him to the back.
Just as he turned around, he suddenly felt something heavy on his body.
Two Blood Pact soldiers who had climbed up the iron box above saw the officer in the bicorne hat, and pounced on him when he was not prepared, knocking Horatio to the ground.
"Sir!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the sergeant who was serving as a guard turned around and wanted to rush back. Suddenly, an axe came from the side. He was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed it and started a hand-to-hand fight with the Blood Pact Axeman who was trying to stop him.
"Go help the sir!" he shouted to the others, but his voice was drowned out by the loud noises of all kinds.
"Die for me!" One of the enemies who pounced on Horatio bared his teeth. His black and yellow teeth were sharp and ugly. He was spitting and his face was flushed. He yelled incoherently and reached out to pinch Horatio's neck.
Of course Horatio would not let them succeed, and immediately fought back, and the three of them wrestled with each other.
It was a critical moment when he felt his face being pinched and turned red, his breathing was difficult and heavy, the smell of blood and rust went straight into his nose, and black double images appeared in front of his eyes.
"There is a defense mechanism designed by Father Lati inside that can fire a focused laser. Maybe you will need it." Horatio remembered what Farida said when she gave him the luxurious officer's belt.
Jiong! !——
"what!"
The Blood Pact soldier who was pinching his neck cried out in pain, and curled up like a watermelon worm on fire, holding his abdomen. The force of pinching his neck disappeared instantly. Horatio took the opportunity to turn his iron hand over and pinched the man's chin.
"Ah! Ah!! Ah!" The shrill screams pierced Horatio's eardrums.
Gada! —
He exerted force suddenly and crushed the enemy's jaw with his bare hands, removing it.
Another man thrust a knife into Horatio's eye socket, but Horatio grabbed his hand and they both rolled to the ground.
The sharp blade was only a few centimeters away from his eyes. If he exerted a little force, he would lose an eye or even have his brain pierced.
"When dealing with the right opponent, there's more to it than gouging out eyes, tearing flesh, kicking in the groin, and smearing sand in the face, as long as it keeps you alive and winning the fight," Horatio remembered what Chief Valina had said to him.
He pressed his knee against his opponent's lower hip, and he heard a scream, and most of the strength in his hand was lost.
Horatio gritted his teeth, and with his left hand, which was grasping the opponent's wrist, he slowly pried the dagger away from him, and his iron hand touched the enemy's face as he desperately resisted.
The Blood Pact soldier panicked and bit Iron Hand's index finger, resulting in his teeth breaking instantly.
With a sound of Horatio's teeth grinding, he exerted force and thrust his spread fingers into the attacker's eyes.
"Ah!!! Ah!!!!" Even louder screams rang out instantly.
Horatio thrust the iron hand upward.
With a loud bang, the skull was torn apart on the spot and thrown into the sky.
Horatio pushed away the corpse without a skull, stood up shakily, picked up two swords from the ground, and gasped.
A small group of guards regrouped around him.
"Sir! Are you okay?" The blood-covered armed sergeant asked Horatio with concern.
"It's okay, ahem...keep fighting!"
"Enemy has climbed onto the platform! Protect the commander!" the gunner behind him shouted, trying to raise the multi-barrel laser to shoot.
Horatio, who was so angry that he was strangled, raised his pistol even faster and almost instantly fired at the Blood Pact sniper who was climbing up the platform, shooting him down.
"Attack the enemy!" There were shouts of attack and intensive gunfire coming from the side cabin. Then he heard a report from his subordinates on the communication channel: "Sir, we have cleared the way and have reached the cabin on the left side of the bomb bay!"
Through the command hand, Horatio saw that the third advance force he had led and the first force that took the officers' passage had reached the enemy's flank and rear and joined his command sequence.
"You guys did a great job! Now join us in strangling the enemy!" He immediately marked the shadows of the troops in other directions and guided the soldiers to attack in the direction he needed.
"Yes! Sir!"
They will attack the enemy's flanks and rear to encircle and suppress these invaders.
Suddenly, Horatio received a communication from Farida.
"Horatio, the enemies near the command platform have been cleared, and the sailors and crew are cleaning up the battlefield. The enemies at the No. 3 Macro Cannon are also about to be wiped out. It's safe here."
"Great! You did a great job! Farida. You are such a capable deputy!" Horatio, who was sweating profusely, raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the good news.
Standing on the command platform, Farida seemed to be hearing Horatio praise her for the first time in such a heartfelt and cheerful tone. Her cheeks turned slightly red unconsciously, and her heart felt itchy and dizzy.
"Oh, of course." The young officer smiled smugly, her lips almost curled up to the sky: "How is the situation over there now?"
"We are encircling the enemy. They can't escape. I will kill them all swiftly." Horatio commanded the soldiers while waving his sword.
"Hmph, let me see how fast you are." Farida chuckled and said, "Be careful."
"Yes, I will." Horatio did not tell Farida about the dangerous situation just now, so as not to affect her calm work.
She hung up the phone with satisfaction and continued to command the artillery.
"Bearish Imperial Navy soldiers! Our reinforcements have arrived, and all the enemies in the rear have been killed. Only the scum in the front are left! Kill all these lackeys of the Blood God and let them taste our power!" Horatio yelled at the top of his voice, his voice was extremely loud and inspiring.
"Huha!!!"
Inspired by the good news from their commander, the soldiers shouted as if victory was in sight. Their tired bodies were instantly filled with strength again. Deafening war roars echoed throughout the cabin. The momentum of the attack was far more powerful and louder than that of the minions of Khorne.
