Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 498 06.0497: ‘Boarding the Pilgrim Ship’

“Little boy, don’t move!” Old man Joe, holding a corncob pipe without tobacco in it, took a set of the smallest size bulletproof armor from the armory. His rough hands deftly modified the buckle and successfully changed it to a size that could be worn by his youngest son.

“Hey, Dad! Be gentle, it hurts!” Old man Joe tightened his grip, causing the kid to grimace and groan.

"This is for your own good. Tie it tight. It's not easy to die from a bullet. Thank you, Captain. The equipment you are wearing is something I can't afford even if I sell you and your brother."

"Oh... Thank you, Captain."

"Take it!" Old Joe stuffed a laser gun as long as his youngest son into his arms, and hung a dagger on his waist: "I taught you how to use it. Don't rush to the front. Go with your brother and stay a little behind."

"Then, aren't we the atmosphere group? Ouch!"

"Stupid! Is the atmosphere group not important?" Old Joe He punched his youngest son on the head: "You little kid, you are inexperienced. I have seen thousands of fights, if not tens of thousands.

The most important thing here is to make a big noise. When you shout at the top of your lungs, any living creature will be scared and flee when they see that they are defeated. Let the sailors do the charging and killing. You joining in the fun is not only useless, but also steals their military merits. Remember to follow your brother closely."

"Oh, I know, Dad." Joe's youngest son responded absent-mindedly.

As the snare drum beat quickly, the boarding team members holding the captured pulse explosive guns also assembled.

They will board the Shark assault boat with the captain, Louise, the director of the operations department, and the Hell Sniper as the first wave of boarding forces.

Horatio can directly locate Sister Arabella's position and guide the first wave of attacks.

Other armed forces will board the Epic through the original docking position after the Epic bypasses the floating Clan Ball debris under the command of First Mate Collingwood.

At that time, all the crew members of the Epic will rush out from the two docking ports and attack the enemy from both sides.

Other attack ships will not be idle either. They will access the other docking ports of the Pilgrimage Ship and allow the crew on board.

Such a 20-kilometer-long Void Whale requires the concerted efforts of the entire First Attack Squadron to eliminate the threats inside.

The mission of saving the Battle Sisters was given to the most courageous and skilled assault force on the Epic.

Under the leadership of Horatio, they will directly crash into the core cabin of the Pilgrimage Ship and intercept the Kroot who are about to break through the defense line in front of the cathedral inside.

In the Shark Assault Boat, red light reflected on the faces of the fully armed soldiers.

They were fully armed and swayed with the high-speed shark boat.

"Under the captain's leadership, we will definitely be able to make these man-eating aliens into skewers and eat them in return." A boarding team sergeant joked in an encouraging manner.

"Haha! Yeah! Extra meal tonight!" The other boarding team members cheered.

"You don't want to eat it, sergeant. If you don't believe me, I will ask the chef to give you an extra meal. I will use the meat of the Kroot. I heard that it is full of neurotoxins." Horatio snorted and laughed.

"Uh...really?"

"Inquisitor Thei said so. I don't know, but you can try."

This short conversation with a lot of contrasts caused a burst of laughter in the whole boat.

Soon, the lively atmosphere was interrupted by the automatic voice broadcast in the boat.

"Boarding contact is in progress. Estimated contact time, countdown 15 seconds. 14...13...12...11..."

Everyone put away their joking gestures and their faces became tense.

"3...2..."

"1!"

With the help of Horatio's commanding hand, Sister Arabella already knew the arrival of the assault boat, so she carried the seriously injured court official and jumped behind a thick snow-white marble column.

Bang!

In the void, the shark assault boats were lined up in a row, and under the guidance of the operator, they firmly locked the designated hull area. In the violent collision, the hot melt explosives vaporized all the metal panels they touched and deeply sank into the hull.

The counting sound just stopped, and the indicator light above his head turned from red to green, and Horatio immediately raised his head.

Swish! ——

With the sound of decompression, the fasteners on everyone's shoulders were unlocked and released upwards.

The front hatch of the assault boat hit the deck hard. The boarding troops filed out behind the metal steam.

"Let's go! Commandos! Go! For the God-Emperor and the Imperial Navy!" Horatio grabbed his Blood Chainsword and Bolt Pistol, and shouted to the soldiers amid the roar of the Chainsword engine, then jumped out in front of them.

"Go! For the God-Emperor!"

The heavy magnetic boots of the navy officers and soldiers stepped on the cold gray-black deck, making a very deterrent noise, and followed the captain's figure to jump out of the shark assault boat, with high morale and fierce momentum of the assault.

This sudden attack caught the Kroots off guard. Before they could recover from the impact, they saw the shadows of a group of sturdy men rushing out of the steam.

"It's a human...!"

Before the first Kroot who discovered it could shout out with their unique noisy voice, a large row of overwhelming ion beams shot over, knocking down a group of Kroot cannibal aliens.

The Vanguard Jump Team is all equipped with pulse deflagration guns captured from Tau supply ships. This ruthless plasma weapon can penetrate almost any armor and directly kill the soft tissue inside.

And because of its own shooting method, it causes a range of damage similar to shotguns. The more densely these Kroot people stand, the more significant the damage they will suffer.

The hell soldiers followed closely, and the hell carbine in their hands turned on the rapid fire mode, shooting at the ferocious-looking Kroot alien in front of them with almost zero recoil, and its mouth was stained with human red blood.

"Leave no one alive! Make these aliens pay the price!"

Buzz!

Horatio cut off the war club that was swinging towards him with one sword, and the long Space Marine chain sword tore the ugly alien swinging the club, together with its crude and primitive hardwood war club, like cutting paper.

After tearing apart the obstacles in front of him, he raised his hand and shot, destroying the Kroot shaman who was standing on the collapsed pillar directing the battle.

The mass-reaction warhead shattered its head into pieces, and the feather crest on its head shattered into pieces along with the skull fragments, and fell from the sky like a goddess scattering flowers.

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Sister Arabella rushed into the cathedral with the injured court official on her back, preparing to announce the good news to the sisters.

"No……"

After she stepped up the steps, she found that the church had turned into a scarlet land, just like the scene in the oil painting of people being massacred after the city was conquered.

The left front has been breached, and the aliens have flooded into the Cathedral, the last refuge of the faithful.

The remaining Battle Sisters are fighting desperately against the invading Kroot.
