"Don't be afraid, brothers, we are here to help you!" A voice came from far behind, mixed with the obvious distortion of loudspeaker amplification.
Then a light bomb that could not be seen in its entirety passed over Wood's head. Although the gorgeous scene of the explosion could not be seen, the unusual power of this light bomb could be felt just from the violent shaking of the bunker.
Reinforcements are coming! How wonderful!
I am in an excited mood. Although it is great to devote myself to Golden Throne, Wood will never give up if I can survive.
Behind Wood's position, a special mobile force composed of humans and Aeldari walked out of the temporary Webway portal.
The commander responsible for commanding this force happened to be Mar, who was lucky enough to save his life from Tyranids and Orks.
A slim female Aeldari stood next to Mar, holding an exquisite sniper light gun in her hand.
"Lanya Your shooting is really accurate. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to hit the target with perfect accuracy from such a long distance."
Mar's admiration made Lanya's face slightly reddened under her helmet. She couldn't help but secretly complain that the monkey's way of expressing emotions was so straightforward and simple that it was hard for her to resist.
"Glib, go and help your compatriots."
Although Lanya's words were not pleasant to hear, his tone was soft and there was no anger or accusation at all. Mar acted immediately after hearing this and took the lead in launching a charge.
Lanya stared closely at Mar's back and used a sniper light gun to deal with the enemies that threatened Mar.
The roar of engines was heard in the air, and when they looked up, they saw hundreds of T'au combat suits flying at low altitude, heading in their direction.
It seems that Wood's request for help is not in vain. These blue-skinned Xenos extended a helping hand of their own.
"For Greater Good and God-Emperor!" the T'au pilots in the battle suit shouted in unison, releasing Remora with different functions before their feet landed on the ground, providing them with shields and enhanced firepower.
Degraded Ones, which seemed unstoppable just now, collapsed under the attack of these Imperium reinforcements, forming a long wall of corpses in front of Wood's position.
Just when everyone thought the battle here was over, the ground trembled violently, a corner of the position was pushed open by something, and many degenerated leeches swam out from the collapsed cave.
Mar and his commando team were instantly surrounded, and Lanya's heart couldn't help but stop for a moment. She opened fire and ran quickly with Wraithbone's sword in hand.
Aeldari's physical fitness is indeed astonishing. Those leeches are completely unable to break through Lanya's sword dance. However, humans like Mar are slightly worse at close combat. Although he can accurately catch the fast-moving leeches and strangle them to death, he cannot take care of his whole body.
As soon as he strangled one to death, four or five more ran onto his back.
"Damn it! Activate close-in-person fragmentation!" Mar roared. The fully armed and armored commando suddenly held his head with both hands and ignored it no matter how the leeches bit him.
In the next second, several small columns popped out of the armor and exploded in the air. The exploding fragments killed many leeches, clearing a clean and safe area.
In just a few seconds, Lanya rushed to Mar's side, blocking him from attacks from behind.
A human, a Aeldari.
The two species, which have slightly similar appearances but completely different structures, actually work together seamlessly at this time!
Gradually, leeches stopped pouring out of the collapsed pit. The teeth-squeaking sound of Degraded Ones's movements gradually became weaker.
"Huh... huh..."
This fierce battle only made Lanya sweat a little, but Mar was very tired and took a deep breath to adjust his condition.
"Are you okay?" Lanya took a few steps closer, and as soon as he put his hand on Mar's shoulder, he fell down softly.
Lanya had quick eyes and quick hands and hugged Mar with one hand. She looked anxious and used her spiritual power to check Mar's injuries.
A leech pierced Mar's armor, penetrated from the waist, and squirmed toward his heart.
No!
Lanya's eyes were red, and she would never let Mar die in front of her like this.
Place both palms on Mar's chest, using psychic energy to protect Mar's heart and other important organs.
Then based on this, he used psychic energy to counterattack, forcing the leech to come out from another part of Mar's body.
Mar endured the pain and spit out a large mouthful of blood. The eyepiece of the helmet was stained red.
Lanya's hands were shaking. She had never felt such uneasiness since her parents died during Tyranids's invasion.
Mar... You must not die...
The leech escaped, but was nailed to death with a dagger before it could swim far.
After draining all the psychic energy from his body and even shortening his lifespan by several hundred years, Mar's injuries finally stabilized.
"Ahem... this really hurts." Mar said to Lanya.
Lanya felt slightly relieved at this time, holding back his tears and complaining to Mar, "You are so useless... I shouldn't have saved you..."
"Hehe... I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Who is worried about you? You are just an annoying monkey. I only helped you for the sake of the alliance."
The two of them were talking to each other, and Wood looked at each other in shock.
However, the most shocked person was not Wood, but the Lion El'Jonson and Dark Angels who were further away and were not even noticed by the Imperium troops.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Zabriel asked, looking at the Power Sword in his hand with some distress. The Hive Tyrant just now destroyed the core components of Power Sword, making it unable to generate a force field again.
This place is covered with insect corpses, Hormagaunt and Termagant are not worth mentioning.
Hive Tyrant and the overlord died here, as many as ten of them. Even Calgar's three heads and six arms were not enough for them to kill.
If Dark Angels hadn't appeared out of thin air through the mysterious forest, Tyranids after Degraded Ones would have swallowed and digested Mar, Lanya, and Wood.
Lion El'Jonson cut off the head of a Hive Tyrant and held it in front of him for a closer look. This was the first time he saw a living Tyranids. He was curious and could not help but imagine how Imperium would deal with this kind of enemy if it appeared during the Great Crusade period.
After a few seconds, Lion El'Jonson answered Zabriel's question with a complex expression, "I saw something impossible."
"Is he an ally of Xenos?" Zabriel guessed.
"Even less likely than that..."
"Even more impossible?" Zabriel held his chin in his hand, thinking a lot about Lion El'Jonson's words.
Lion El'Jonson didn't specify what it was, because in his Primarchs-level vision, Mar hugged Lanya, who was stronger than him but had no intention of resisting, and their helmets leaned against each other.
"This is so evil..."
With a faint sigh, Lion El'Jonson took Zabriel and other soldiers to the next place to fight.
