Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

End the battle cry.

Artemis took the exclusive bolt rifle handed to her by the mechanical arm, turned around and walked towards the equipment room, followed by the servants and gray knights.

Leave the equipment room and come to the airborne preparation cabin.

There are several rows of slide rails here, and the large mechanical arms in front of each slide rail are clamped with airborne pods that can accommodate six Astartes.

Then the servants of God and the gray knights entered the airborne pod one after another, and Artemis also took the same airborne pod with the five gray knights.

Enter and stand well, the barn door is closed.

The cabin was lit with dark red lights, and Artemis' power armor presented a small holographic screen in front of her right eye, providing her with additional vision and information assistance.

Immediately afterwards, she and the five gray knights turned on the magnetic adsorption on the soles of the boots, and the fixed frame under the airborne pod pressed against their shoulder armor to help them fix their posture.

outside the warehouse.

The lights of the airborne preparation cabin became dim, and yellow warning lights flashed all around, and the large mechanical arm clamped the airborne cabin and moved to the slide rail.

The gate under the sliding rail is unfolded, and through the translucent film-like air valve barrier, the fault space outside the Yuanyue ship can be seen directly.

The scene of the fault space lasted for a few seconds, and then instantly switched to the appearance of the regular universe and Arcadia in the deep space of the universe.

outside the ship.

The full moon, which had completed its jump voyage, quickly approached the northern hemisphere at dawn.

Then the airborne pod containing Artemis, servants and gray knights used the slide rails to accelerate out of the hull for airborne.

———————

Arcadia's northern hemisphere.

Arcadia is also rotating from west to east. The sun rises slowly from the east, sprinkles the sunlight on the entire continent, and also reflects a messy urban area.

The streets are full of scrapped vehicles and fallen flying boats, together with the collapsed giant buildings, the entire metropolitan area is billowing with smoke.

There were far fewer people fleeing in panic, because there were a large number of corpses everywhere in the streets.

Even Arcadia's most prestigious beach is full of residents and tourists who have lost traces of life, and a large area is even stained dark red by human blood.

The sparkling and beautiful sea view is unappreciated at this moment.

On the northernmost outskirts of the metropolitan area, there is a large relay station and the base where the Krieg 087 Regiment is stationed.

Soil and facilities were overturned and destroyed by bombing, especially airfields where air vehicles were parked.

In the base and relay station, there are a large number of Kriegs who died in battle.

They were paralyzed on the ground, their power armor was severely damaged, their bodies were broken, and there was not a single corpse at all.

South side of the base.

A female Krieger with only her upper body left was lying on the ground, holding a Hellfire rifle tightly in both hands, and kept firing even though she was dead.

Behind him, there was a long trail of blood rubbed out by her crawling.

Under the damaged helmet, there was a face as cold as ice, the expression froze in a slightly gritted teeth and a slight frown, and his lifeless eyes were staring straight ahead.

Frowning and gritting her teeth, as if she hated herself for not being able to kill more traitors.

At this moment, two Kriegers walked up to her, bent and squatted, and prepared to restrain her.

But one of them stretched out his right hand and helped her close her eyes so that she could "sleep" with peace of mind.

Overlooking the entire base, more than a hundred of Krieger and the surviving technicians, ground staff, and medical personnel are converging the fallen comrades.

rescue?

Few of the wounded made it to the end of the fight to receive emergency treatment, because Krieger would never call the medics as long as he was still moving.

Start to collect the corpses and rescue the very few surviving wounded, which means that the battle at the relay station and the base is over.

The 087 regiment is a reinforced regiment with a total number of about 3,500 including technical personnel, ground support and other logistics personnel.

However, after repeated attacks by rebels and believers, the 087 Regiment, including the battle battalion still operating in the metropolitan area, has a total of more than 1,500 people left.

The death toll was more than half, and it was considered the most serious loss of an army since the establishment of Krieg, but the rebels and believers were the only ones.

I saw hundreds of destroyed Warthogs and light armored vehicles on the outskirts of the base of the 087 regiment, and more than a dozen Scorpios and derivative main battle tanks were among them.

There is even a UNSC mobile base that is two laps smaller than the Mammoth and is still burning.

The corpses left by the rebels and believers need to be calculated in units of "ten thousand", scattered around these destroyed vehicles.

Nearly 200 Kriegers were in charge of "cleaning" around the base and relay stations.

Krieger's maneuvers are simple, effective, and brutally pile up the rotting corpses, which are then scorched by hoplites equipped with flamethrowers.

Even if Phils was beheaded by the battalion commander and lost the leader of the rebellion, the rebels and believers who attacked the 087 Regiment continued to attack by relying on their numbers.

Until an hour ago, the morale of the traitors finally collapsed and they fled in all directions.

This made the main force of the 087 regiment finally free, and could send troops into the urban area to support the combat battalion and the resistance forces gathered by Andre.

"Ta~! Da.~!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Intensive gunfire and explosions from the city showed that the fighting did not stop because of the deaths of Phils and Samael.

Metropolitan District 11.

On the one-way street on the west edge, there are two retired veterans equipped with civilian armor and firearms, rushing towards the nearest alley to them.

Suddenly, a white bone spear was thrown forcefully by a "person", stabbing a veteran at a very fast speed

"Puff!"

The bone spear easily pierced through the armor, pierced through the veteran's body, and was directly nailed to a car in front of him.

"cough!"

And the veteran with a gap in his chest coughed up blood, and fell forward with unsteady steps.

"Damn it! Hold on, old chap!"

Fortunately, another veteran with a beard immediately reached out to support him, preventing the wounded veteran from falling to the ground.

But the bone spear caused a fatal wound, and the blood gushed out from the gap unstoppably.

Seeing this, Lu Hu led his old comrades to the rear of the car with the bone spear in it.

When he sat his old comrade on the ground and leaned against the car with his back, the bearded man found that his old comrade had stopped breathing.

Seeing this situation, the bearded man raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the old comrade-in-arms, his eyes were red, and he held back his tears and said:

"Old man, you wait below for a while, I'll be there later, don't forget, you bastard still owes me a meal."

finished.

The bearded man held his modified civilian pulse rifle in his hand, stood up, and used the car as a cover.

Then he pointed the muzzle of the gun at the bone spear, and a "person" who approached him, pulled the trigger and shouted:

"Go to hell! Dog bastard!!"

"Tat-tat-tat!"

A dazzling fire snake spewed out from the muzzle of the gun, and quickly fired the pulse bullets in the magazine, hitting the "man" on the body.

However, pulse bombs that can explode with low intensity can cause limited damage to that "person".

I saw him, or its body was huge and muscular, at least three meters high.

The skin is blood red, the face is sunken, distorted into a skeleton, and a pair of black horn-shaped bones grow out of the temples.

It seems to be a demon that lives in a different space and loves blood, death and fear. Even if the pulse bomb successfully blasts a wound on its skin, it will heal quickly.

So the demon spread his hands, showing a deformed smile of "what can you do to me", and approached the beard like a stroll in the garden, as if enjoying the pleasure of torturing its prey.

"Crack!"

Beard emptied the 75-round magazine, and the demon had already walked in front of him.

"Oh shit!"

The bearded man spat, pulled out the dagger hanging from his waist, and rushed over.

But the result is obvious.

The devil's sharp claws also penetrated the chest cavity of the bearded man, and directly crushed the beating heart inside the body.

"Dog... chop suey... uh..."

After the bearded man cursed with all his strength, he also completely lost his life.

"Ha ha-!"

The demon flicked his hand, and threw the bearded corpse aside. Looking at the bright red blood remaining on his hand, he couldn't stop laughing, as if celebrating himself, and found another race that could relieve his boredom.

And it is indeed a demon living in a different space.

But it can be regarded as an extremely insignificant little devil in a different space, and it doesn't need to go through complicated summoning rituals to set foot in the real universe, it only needs to occupy the "believers" who have entities.

The death of Phils caused the rebels and believers to lose their organization, and continued to cholera Arcadia aimlessly.

The disappearance of Kesamael has attracted the attention of many low-level or miscellaneous demons.

Although they don't know how Samael disappeared, they noticed Arcadia and humans through the rebels and believers who believed in Samael.

So these demons began to whisper in the ears of the traitors, corrupting them into their believers, and let the traitors continue to corrupt more Arcadia residents to increase their power in different dimensions.

What's more, they directly adopt the method of doves occupying the magpie's nest, and come to the real universe by snatching the bodies of traitors or believers to kill and satisfy their own desires.

Because of this, the metropolitan area, where hundreds of millions of people live, is still in a state of extreme chaos.

There are traitors who believe in different demons everywhere, as well as hideous and powerful demons.

at this time.

The demon who killed the two veterans was just about to find his next target for abuse, when he saw a "similar" with a snake body and purple skin crawling out from the end of the one-way street.

The two demons looked at each other.

The ram horned demon pulled out the bone spear stuck in the car, and threw it at its kind without hesitation.

"Flesh~!" The bone spear whistled sharply.

However, the snake-body demon swayed to the left flexibly, easily dodged the bone spear, and covered his mouth with a "hehe" smile, as if mocking the powerlessness of the goat-horned demon.

"Roar!!!"

Enraged by the provocation and laughter, the horned demon raised its head and let out a deafening roar, then ran wildly, bound to tear its companions who laughed at it.

In an instant, the two demons wrestled together.

The vehicles on the one-way street and the low buildings on both sides also suffered from their killing each other.

One of the warehouses used to store plastic-packed food hides many civilians who have fled here.

"Boom! Boom!"

Hearing the movement of the demon's body hitting the wall, the tense civilians did not dare to gasp loudly, for fear of alarming the two demons outside the warehouse, and secretly prayed that they could get through this crisis safely.

outside the warehouse.

The snake-body demon wrapped its powerful tail around the waist of the horned demon, and controlled the opponent's arms with both hands, hanging it on the horned demon's body.

Immediately afterwards, it opened its mouth, revealing two fangs flowing with purple liquid.

"hiss!"

Then it made a sound like a poisonous snake, bit its neck fiercely, and injected the venom that could erode the soul into the body of the horned demon.

"Roar!"

Feeling the severe pain, the horned demon struggled frantically, trying to throw off the same kind hanging on its body, and even burst out unprecedented strength to break free.

unconsciously.

The two of them were rushing in the direction of the warehouse.

The purpose of injecting venom has been achieved. In order to avoid unnecessary damage, the snake-body demon actively jumped away and kept a certain distance from the horned demon.

"Hoo hoo."

But the freed shofar demon fell on his back to the ground, moaning weakly, and felt the pain that could endanger its own existence.

"Heh~." The snake-tailed demon smiled contemptuously.

Then it turned its gaze to the warehouse with closed gates, gradually showing a mad look, as if thinking about how to "treat" the civilians inside.

The snake demon can clearly "smell" the emotion of fear, so hiding is completely ineffective for it.

suddenly.

It seemed to have noticed something, looked up at the sky, and saw a small-scale "meteor shower" in the still dark sky.

Moreover, these "shooting stars" not only did not dissipate, but became more and more obvious, and quickly hit the metropolitan area.

To be completely rushed into the atmosphere.

The flames surrounding the "Meteor" faded, revealing the true appearance of the "Meteor".

It is the airborne pod reflecting the dazzling silver light under the sunshine.

After descending to a certain height, dozens of airborne pods quickly dispersed and fell to designated locations in the metropolitan area.

One of the targets was the one-way street where the snake body and the horned demon were.

! ! !

The snake-bodied demon who didn't understand the situation hurriedly dodged.

A gap that can't be blinked.

"Boom-long-!"

The airborne pod with buffer measures landed successfully, but it still caused an earthquake-like movement, and also smashed a shallow hole in the ground.

?

The snake-bodied demon who hid in the alley leaned out to observe carefully.

With a few sounds of "Qi—!", the airborne compartment opened the airtight compartment door.

"Boom, boom."

Immediately afterwards, the five gray knights stepped out of the airborne pod with heavy steps, followed by Artemis, who was not wearing a helmet.

This time, it was she who stared at the snake-bodied demon.

The results are.

"Hey! Hey!" Two shots.

Before the snake-body demon could even scream, its body was blown apart by the special bolt bombs fired from the bolt gun in Artemis' hands.

"Sigh."

The purple blood splashed on the ground, as well as the damaged body and internal organs began to melt rapidly, turning into a pool of foul-smelling black water.

However, the black water only lasted for a few seconds before it became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had been purified.

at the same time.

A gray knight stepped on the horned demon's chest with his left foot, aimed his gun at his head, and said in a metallic voice:

"Die, chop suey."

"Wow!"
