I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 221 Waiting for the opportunity to fight a bloody battle

It is almost impossible to capture a Space Marine in combat.

Because these powerful warriors have been transformed both physically and mentally, they will not hesitate to fight to the death unless their leader leads them to surrender.

——The word deserter has never appeared in the dictionary of Astartes monks.

But sometimes in war, even the strongest Astartes monks could not avoid becoming prisoners of the enemy.

For example, in a battle, you are severely injured by the enemy but do not die on the spot, and you lose the ability to resist and are captured.

Another example is being controlled by enemy psychic units with evil spells and being captured in a humiliating way.

There are some who are even more unlucky, like Kratos, who fell into the hands of the enemy while unconscious, and became prisoners when he woke up.

Most of the 2nd Company of the Ash Claws were killed in the battle, and all the mortal troops became slaves of the Chaos army. The dozen or so surviving Astartes became prisoners of the enemy.

Every day, warriors die in the Chaos Arena, which is used as entertainment for the Chaos Warriors.

Now there are only five people left in the cell, new recruit Kratos, company champion Michal, second captain Julius, company think tank Sagan, and veteran Marek. Except for Kratos, everyone is injured, and captain Julius is the most seriously injured.

"Brothers, it looks like our fight is finally over."

Julius said sadly. He was so badly injured that he couldn't even stand up.

Sagan consoled him: “Don’t give up until the very end, maybe there is still a chance…”

Sagan still held out hope that reinforcements were on the way.

Mihael gnashed his teeth and said bitterly: "Even if I die, I will take a few people with me!"

Veteran Marek said nothing.

After the patrolling jailers walked away, Kratos quietly walked to Julius, placed his palm on his wound, and used his clothes to cover his palm that was emitting psychic light.

While treating the second company commander, he whispered, "Captain, just rest and recover. I have a plan..."

These days, Kratos has been carefully hiding the fact that he possesses psychic powers. Even at the most dangerous moment in the arena, he did not expose it, just to wait for a suitable opportunity to help everyone escape.

But before that, he needed time to heal Julius and the others' injuries and at least restore their basic fighting capacity. He couldn't escape alone.

……

"attack!"

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god!"

"For the glory of the Lord of Brass!"

In the Supreme Nest, outside the city wall with a circumference of tens of kilometers, demonic creatures of all shapes and sizes are endless and keep pouring towards the city wall like a tide.

On one side are Khorne demons with red skin, sharp horns and claws, fangs and long tails. They are holding serrated axes or serrated swords, charging head-on, or flapping their wings and attacking from the air in groups.

On the other side were fat, bloated, rotten and foul-smelling Nurgle demons, emitting venom that could instantly turn a person into pus, releasing suffocating poisonous fog, and accompanied by overwhelming swarms of poisonous bees and locusts, rushing towards the city wall defense line in a disorderly manner.

A luminous spear fell from the sky and landed on the hive city, but was blocked by a flashing void shield, causing no large-scale casualties.

The Great Sage gathered all of Persephone's human resistance forces and stationed them in the Supreme Hive for the final resistance.

The surrounding hives, which had no time to transform into void shield defense systems, quickly fell to the Chaos Army's ground forces and precision orbital bombardment. They only held out for a few days.

As the war unfolded, everyone still alive realized that there was no chance of them surviving the demon.

The devil has no mercy. Those who surrender will only die in terrible torture, and even their souls will fall into the hands of the devil.

It would be better to die gloriously in battle, at least to return gloriously to the Golden Throne, remaining loyal to the Emperor and humanity.

"For the Emperor!"

"For Persephone!"

The fighters of the human resistance army, with great anger and endless hatred, threw themselves into the brutal battle.

Many of them lost their family members and friends in the invasion of the chaotic forces. Now in despair, they turned all their hatred and anger into the will to fight.

He vowed to fire his last bullet, shed his last drop of blood, and even if he died, he would take a group of enemies with him.

The Khorne demons are swift, powerful, and invulnerable to swords and guns. Ordinary bullets have little effect on them, and warriors can only kill them through hand-to-hand combat.

However, faced with Khorne demons whose strength, physical fitness and combat skills far surpassed those of ordinary human soldiers, they often had to sacrifice the lives of several or even dozens of people to kill a low-level bloodletter.

"Go back to your subspace!"

The angel of revenge, Celia, with her loyal and fanatical Crusaders of the Emperor's Truth, became the main force in the fight against the demons of Khorne.

The sword of this living saint, imbued with the power of the Emperor, is capable of slaying even common daemons outright, rather than merely banishing them back into the Warp.

The angel exudes a sacred golden light, illuminating all humans like a bright lamp on the battlefield, inspiring the morale of human warriors and allowing them to fight bravely and tirelessly without fear or fatigue.

On the other front, the Archsage led his mechanical army to fight against the troublesome Nurgle demons.

These demons can cast deadly curse spells and spread supernatural plagues. Human warriors will be corrupted simply by approaching them, and will quickly die or even be transformed into the enemy's slaves on the spot.

If these demons get close, the human defenses will collapse without any attack, and they will not be able to engage in close combat with the Nurgle demons.

Only those Untouchables with special talents can ignore and weaken the effects of the unearthly plague of Nurgle demons.

Therefore, the Great Sage deployed his [Silent Warrior] guards on this side of the front line to act as the front-line shield to prevent Nurgle demons from breaking into the defense line.

He commanded the mechanical army and defense forces, unleashing firepower regardless of cost, using artillery fire to block the advance of the plague army.

However, the number of enemies was endless, numbering in the hundreds of millions. Even though the great sage had done his best to prepare for resistance, he was still defeated by the overwhelming attack of the demon army.

The first thing to fall was the spire.

There are a large number of air units in the demon army, and the human side can only rely on air defense weapons and drone units to fight against them.

Less than half a day after the fierce battle began, a huge wail suddenly sounded on the human side's public communication channel.

"Lord Angel!"

"Do not!!!"

The Great Sage turned his head and saw through the helmet with a multi-magnification function that the Angel of Vengeance was pierced through the body by a Khorne Daemon with a halberd. The Angel of Vengeance fought back despite being seriously injured and stabbed through the head of the Khorne Daemon with a sword, dispersing it back into the warp.

The seriously injured angel staggered and fell from the air, covering the wound on his abdomen, trying to maintain his balance.

But at this moment, another Khorne Daemon flapped its demon wings, rushed to the Angel of Vengeance, and chopped her head on with an axe.
