The bugs were getting closer and closer to them. The injured Aeldari closed his eyes and sensed the movements of the bugs in the fog.

The six scattered Hormagaunt, because they were separated from Synapse Creature, they only acted based on their hunger instinct.

This greatly reduces their danger level, but it is still a threat that cannot be underestimated to a seriously injured Aeldari and ordinary soldiers.

And these bugs are definitely not the last batch to attack them. As the unique smell of Aeldari spreads, more and more bugs will come here.

"At 10 o'clock, there are two bugs."

Mar pointed the muzzle of the gun and vaguely saw two black figures approaching quietly from the smoke.

Lasgun's shooting light illuminated the dim woodland, allowing Mar to see clearly what Hormagaunt looked like.

One of the Hormagaunt had a broken forelimb, which was most likely an injury sustained when the Orks battleship crashed.

Regardless, the weaker these bugs are, the better.

The bright light of the laser was well absorbed by the muzzle of the gun. Mar could clearly see the running movements of Hormagaunt with the mechanical sight and use the laser to break their joints.

One Hormagaunt had a broken leg. It fell to the ground, moving up and down on its forelimbs and hind legs, and its speed slowed down greatly.

Mar took this opportunity to aim Lasgun at another bug. This bug was only about 20 meters away from Mar. It was not difficult for these swift little bugs to cross this distance.

5 lasers are used to soften the carapace, and 3 lasers are used to destroy limbs.

This is a little experience Mar summed up in a defensive battle. At a distance of 20 meters, he had to repeatedly shoot the laser in a circular area with a radius of 5 centimeters.

The energy of the magazine was consumed rapidly, and Mar penetrated Hormagaunt's head. It roared in pain, jumped up with its legs and rushed towards Mar.

In a flash of lightning, Mar thrust Lasgun forward. The bayonet hanging from the muzzle penetrated Hormagaunt's wide open mouth, shattering its slender and smooth tongue.

Hormagaunt, which has lost one of its forelimbs, is still quite dangerous. After all, this insect has a total of four sharp claws.

Flak Armour of Mar is being torn apart by the two forelimbs of Hormagaunt's abdomen. As long as this insect works hard, it can open Mar's chest.

Chi!

Mar used both arms to pull Lasgun upwards. The bayonet left a vertical wound on Hormagaunt's head.

Hormagaunt died, and Xie Li's body pressed on Mar's body, making him a little unsteady.

Another injured bug also rushed over. Mar would be unable to move for a while, so he could only use Hormagaunt as a shield and huddle as far back as possible.

The laser beam hit the eye of Hormagaunt. Several laser shots were fired extremely accurately, almost hitting the same point.

Hormagaunt's eyeballs evaporated, the laser beam hit the brain, and all the soft tissues in the skull were cooked.

Aeldari's support was timely, but there were still four bugs approaching them.

There were more bugs behind, and Tyranid Warrior as Synapse Creature caught the scent of Aeldari from the smoke.

"Finally, this is fate." Aeldari accepted her fate, with a complex look of relief on her face.

The compromise with fate and the cold fear of death were hidden on her tense face.

This attitude of giving up life made Mar very angry. He roughly pulled Aeldari up, not caring about the latter's screams of pain.

At this time, Mar's brain was spinning rapidly. He threw the incendiary grenade on his waist and used the flames to slow down the insects.

"It's useless... put me down and let me die with my friends." Aeldari begged.

"Shut up! You damn coward!" Mar's roar suppressed Aeldari's voice, and he ran like this as a struggle against his fate of death.

The screams of insects were getting closer and closer to them, and Aeldari, who was being held on the back by Mar, was also attacked by Laspistol.

The bugs whose eyes were penetrated fell into a brief confusion, but the approach of Tyranid Warrior allowed them to quickly recover.

Insect venom and bone spurs whizzed past them, and the nearby trees trembled and dropped soot and dead leaves as Tyranids ran, but Mar was still running with Aeldari on his back.

He swore that he had never run so fast. This is probably what Departmento Munitorum often promotes - believe in your own power! You are great human beings!

The light shining through the smoke made Mar extremely excited. This was proof that they were about to break out of Death Forest.

Next they could see the open grassland, and the communicator on their chests could finally connect to the command post.

As for what will be on the grass, whether it is bugs, Orks, or pagans, this is not something Mar can decide.

He did his best, that's all.

"Get down! Soldier!"

Such a clear command made Mar subconsciously fall down.

This is a very unique shooting sound. In Mar's service career, he has never heard such a gunshot.

The sound of Lasgun shooting is more manic and the sound of plasma shooting is deeper.

The red and purple laser beam was so thick and hot that Mar felt sweaty just by looking at it from the corner of his eye.

The bug is hit by these violent lasers, and its entire body burns, turning into a ball of ash within a few seconds.

"Golden Throne is on top... this is too fierce."

Mar stared blankly at the insects being dispersed by laser transpiration, and the joy of surviving the disaster made him smile.

"Haha! We survived!"

Laughing at his good luck, Mar climbed up and pulled Aeldari up. There was a giant standing in the light in the distance.

This is Space Marines, Mar can clearly identify it. Although he can't see the armor and coloring clearly, he can tell this from the rough outline.

The guardians of the sector have come to their side to liberate this war-torn planet.

"From one death to another... fate... is so cruel." Aeldari said sadly.

"What?" Mar didn't understand, but he still smiled, "We are saved, this is an angel."

"It's like this for you..." Aeldari continued. Suddenly she realized something, frowned and pushed Mar away. "I'm healed. Please stay away from me. It's best to shoot me directly."

"Are you scared of the bugs?" Mar asked with raised eyebrows. This Aeldari is really difficult to get along with.

"My name is Mar."

Aeldari looked at Mar's outstretched hand for a moment, then looked at Mar's face.

Astonishingly stupid.

Aeldari commented in his heart, without holding Mar's hand, but just told him his name was Lanya.
