The eerie silence lasted only half a second before it was broken by the attack command from the noble private army.

The private army launched another attack.

Wade reacted instantly, grabbed Ron beside him, and pressed him behind the cover.

"Colonel, why did they launch the attack? Aren't they afraid that we would kill the hostages?" Ron asked without explanation.

There is nothing new under the sun. How could Wade not understand. "Haha, these people just wish all the hostages in our hands would die so that they could take over."

"But they are relatives, how could they..."

Wade looked at the young man next to him and said habitually, "You are too young to understand the temptation of power."

As he said that, he picked up the Bolter on the ground and loaded the last magazine again.

"It would be great if Hellgun and Power Armour could be more active, and there would be no need to be so passive." Wade sighed in his heart.

He knew very well that the batch of weapons brought back by the Governor was still too small in number. On average, each squad could only have one Hellgun, and they had too many places to defend.

The key to this operation is always space.

Gunfire rang out again.

Wade, with about a hundred people under his command, huddled behind Leman Russ Tank, and the tanks were hidden behind sandbag bunkers. They all leaned forward and shot, looking like a "wretched version of Macho Man Mountain".

Wade I never thought that the tactic I despised most in the military academy would now be the last straw.

The private soldiers were outnumbered and charged one after another. The bunker was riddled with holes by Laser beams, and sandbags fell down.

Soon, soldiers rushed up with rocket launchers and aimed at Leman Russ Tank, who was acting as a bunker.

Boom!

The rocket hit the side of the tank, denting the armor plate and sending thick smoke billowing.

"The tank is damaged! The main gun is out of order!" the soldier operating the tank roared and reported.

Wade's eyes twitched, and just as he was about to order the transfer, another rocket came one after another, blasting directly through the tank turret.

"Abandon the car! Abandon the car quickly!"

The soldiers quickly withdrew, and as soon as they hid behind the new bunker, they saw several Chimera Armored Transport vehicles from the noble private army rushing towards them in the distance.

One, two...

Wade The tanks here were destroyed one after another, and the defense line was torn open one after another.

Soldier casualties were increasing, and ammunition was completely exhausted.

The last Leman Russ Tank was hit by Melta Cannon. Under the explosion, the turret blew up and flames shot into the sky.

Wade leaned against the wreckage of the scrapped tank, emptied the last magazine, threw away the empty gun, and took out Laspistol from his waist.

He knew that this thing could not penetrate the tank armor, so it was a futile effort.

The enemy's Chimera Armored Transport slowly lowered the barrel, and Wade raised Laspistol to shoot.

One shot, two shots, three shots.

The red Laser hit the armor surface, like a small water gun pouring on the steel plate, without any reaction.

Upon seeing this, the private soldiers stopped shooting and looked at him mockingly.

"This idiot! Shooting a tank with a pistol?"

"Wait to die!"

Wade didn't stop and kept shooting one shot after another.

He is the governor's deputy and the backbone of this group of soldiers. Even if he has his last breath, he cannot retreat.

At this moment, his hand that pulled the trigger paused...

Boom!

There was a loud noise, and Chimera Armored Transport was actually blown up!

"The Emperor has a spirit?" Wade Just had this thought, a black shadow sped past in the sky, and the roar of the engine made people's eardrums hurt.

It's a huge transport boat!

The twin heavy blasters on both sides of the boat roared, and the dense blasts swept past, and the private soldiers rushing in front were instantly torn into pieces.

Blood mist splashed all over the sky and sprinkled on the marble floor, mixing with the previous blood stains, which was shocking.

Wade suddenly raised his head and stared at Stormbird.

The hull of the boat hovered over the banquet hall, the hatch opened, and a familiar black figure of Power Armour stood on the edge of the hatch. The Hive City emblem on the shoulder armor was clearly visible.

The next second, the figure jumped down.

The thrusters behind it ejected light blue flames, and after buffering in mid-air, they landed steadily. The marble floor beneath their feet was shaken to the point of cracking into fine lines.

"It's the Governor!" Wade shouted, his tense nerves instantly relaxed and his eyes turned red.

Fu Haoran! He's back!

As Fu Haoran jumped down, more soldiers jumped down, holding Chainsword in one hand and Hellgun in the other, and launched a charge towards the private army.

The unprepared Noble Private Army was caught off guard. The charging formation collapsed instantly, and some people turned around and ran away.

Fu Haoran held Storm Shield in one hand and Heavy Bolt Rifle in the other. The Displacement Field on his body lit up with a light blue halo. Facing the firepower of the private soldiers, he went deep into the enemy's army alone and strolled around to kill.

Occasionally use the shield to knock the enemy's head away.

Stormbird was still circling overhead, and the bullets from Twin-linked Heavy Bolter swept towards the ground like a heavy rain. Wherever they passed, Chimera Armored Transport were exploded one by one, with flames rising into the sky, and the heavy firepower of the private army was instantly cleared.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "It's Astartes! It's the Emperor's angel is here! Run!"

These words were like a thunderbolt, and the private army that was still resisting collapsed instantly.

For most people, they have never seen Space Marine, but they have heard about the deeds of the Emperor angels.

They know that these are a group of demigods walking in the world, the embodiment of the Emperor's will.

Most importantly, they wear heavy Power Armour.

It just so happened that these people in front of me met the conditions in the rumors.

Now that Angel of Death of the Emperor is here, can Imperial Fleet be far behind?!

Are we considered a rebellion?!

Ordinary soldiers don't dare to think about it anymore, they just want to escape from here.

Soon, Noble Private Army collapsed, and many people wished they had two more legs.

Fu Haoran did not pursue, but came to Wade: "How is it?"

Wade's tense nerves relaxed instantly, and he showed a wry smile that was meant to survive the disaster, "It's okay, I didn't embarrass you, I'll keep it."

Wade leaned against the wreckage of the tank, slid down and sat down, gasping for air, and said with a smile that was uglier than crying, "If you come five minutes later, you will have to collect the body for me."

Fu Haoran was about to help him up when Wade suddenly grabbed his arm with surprising strength.

"Honeycomb Building..." he gasped, "The people in the building... are surrounded."

In the screen, the light blue Void Shield of Honeycomb Building is still on, the baffles of Plasteel are tightly closed, and the firepower in the building is still continuing. The private soldiers are blocked outside and cannot get close at all.

"Don't worry, the building is fine. You can repair it here and I will take people to rescue people."

Fu Haoran boarded Stormbird again, and messages asking for help poured into the helmet one after another. Fu Haoran frowned.

The East District is in emergency, the South District is in emergency, and the North District is in emergency.

"Aren't these nobles waiting for the outcome of the space war?"

Fu Haoran also knows that as soon as his Cobra-class Destroyer appears, all problems will be solved.

The problem is, Destroyer won't be able to make it back for a while, and they got back ahead of time on the much faster Stormbird.

Turning off the communication, Fu Haoran looked out the window.

Hive City The night sky was reddened by the flames of war, and there were explosions of fire everywhere.

"I just brought back more than 50 people, so I didn't have time to reinforce them from place to place... but I can let everyone know that I'm back."
