The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

Chapter 204 Escape from Death

Finally, a loud explosion rang out.

Aksu felt a little relieved after hearing the explosion, but the explosions didn't continue, which meant that the other teams had already failed.

Seeing that they could not complete the mission, the invaders began to retreat. During the retreat, many of them died in battle, and in the end, only about twenty members of the invaders' squad were able to regroup.

The Terminator warriors, who were fighting a fierce battle, suddenly felt much less pressure and returned to the invader squad, which then began to open fire and move closer to Aksu.

“Company Commander, we need to leave here!” a Space Marine suggested to Aksu.

Aksu was slaying a large orc when he heard the man's voice. He immediately calmed down. If they continued fighting, their fate would be dire. They had to retreat now.

"Everyone, retreat!" Aksu shouted into the communicator.

Upon receiving the order to retreat, the Space Marines did not hesitate to activate their power packs and take to the air.

"Stay here!" the orc war leader roared, throwing his massive warhammer at a Terminator warrior.

With a loud thud, the giant hammer slammed into the Terminator warrior, knocking him to the ground.

In fact, Aksu made another huge mistake: it failed to destroy a section of the city wall.

When they wanted to evacuate, the cannons on the city walls were already ready.

A dense net of shells formed as Space Marines flew through the air, and from time to time, some were hit and fell to the ground.

The lucky Space Marines finally flew over the city walls and landed in the jungle. As soon as they landed, cannons fired from all directions. Because several unlucky Space Marines were knocked to the ground, Orc warriors swarmed out of the jungle.

"Continue the retreat!" Aksu continued to shout.

At this point, they could no longer continue fighting, and it was clear that the orcs had planned this all along.

After a fierce battle, Aksu and his men finally broke through the orcs' encirclement. At this point, Aksu only had five Space Marines left: two Terminator Warriors and three Invader squad members.

Having finally broken through the encirclement, they encountered the Orcish Speedsters once again, and another fierce battle ensued, with the Orcish Speedsters surrounding the remaining Space Marines.

Aksu charged back and forth among the orc boys, but these orcs showed no fear of death and kept surging towards him. If Aksu were knocked to the ground by the orc boys, his chances of survival would be slim. However, faced with these endless orc boys, Aksu couldn't think of a good way to escape.

As expected, the orc boys thought the same way. To deal with a powerful warrior like the Terminator, they could only gain an advantage by taking him down.

Aksu had experienced countless brutal battles and had never been afraid of death, but he was still somewhat unwilling to die here. However, given the current situation, he had no way out. He was surrounded by countless orcs, and no matter what he did, he could not break through their encirclement.

Just when Aksu thought he was doomed, a small turning point appeared.

Dozens of motorcycles roared in from afar, their firepower extremely fierce. Each shot from the Hellfire volley killed a dozen orc warriors, leaving gaping holes in their bodies.

The person who came was none other than Bertrand Russell.

Seventy Kashejin warriors on motorcycles ruthlessly pierced through the orc boy's ranks like a sharp dagger.

Yokozuna led all the demi-human warriors in a charge.

"Company Commander Aksu, get out of here quickly!" Russell said to Aksu.

Aksu's feelings were very complicated at this moment, but he couldn't care less about what to say. He could only leave with the few remaining brothers.

The demi-human warriors held off the orcish pursuers for them.

…………

This was the first time Russell had ever seen the Aksu company commander without armor.

At this moment, the Aksu company commander, dressed in an ordinary white robe, knelt on the cold stone slab, deeply repenting.

"How long has he been kneeling?" Russell asked a Space Marine.

"It's been three days!"

Russell paused for a moment and called out softly: "Company Commander Aksu, are you alright?"

Aksu turned around and glanced at Russell, his face full of sorrow, and said: I'm fine!

After he finished speaking, Aksu stood up. He was very tall and strong, like a real giant.

"Thank you for rescuing me!" Aksu Company Commander said with a complicated expression.

Being saved by a human was somewhat embarrassing for him, but he had to admit that he really wouldn't have made it back today without Russell.

Russell replied calmly, "There's no need to thank me; it was just a small favor."

Aksu gave a wry smile and said: "Now I really regret not listening to your advice and waiting patiently for the fleet to arrive."

"Saying all this is not very useful. The key is that you need to pull yourself together. The battle ahead still needs you!"

"I will, for the Emperor! For the Father of Genes!" Aksu's three days of repentance were mainly for the brothers who died in battle, and he did not become depressed because of it.

As they were talking, Aksu came to Russell's side and looked at him with a different gaze once again.

Russell, feeling a bit strange under his gaze, asked: "What's wrong, Company Commander Aksu?"

Aksu sighed and said, "It's nothing. Since you're here, let's have a good talk!"

Russell nodded and said, "Sure, I happen to have some time."

Astartes were called monks, and Aksu, as a company commander, lived a very simple and frugal life; they truly lived up to the name of monks.

Aksu sat cross-legged on a huge white plush blanket.

Russell sat down opposite him, just like he had done.

“Aren’t you very skeptical that a Space Marine could make such a basic mistake?” Aksu said.

Russell nodded and said: "I've thought about it sometimes, but everyone makes silly mistakes."

"So you mean I'm being stupid?"

Russell smiled and said: I didn't say that.

"Experience can be deceiving; I should be as cautious as you!" Aksu felt that his failure this time was due to his past experience.

"That's one reason, and another is that you're too eager to win!" Russell felt that Company Commander Aksu really wanted to win, which was why he acted this way.

"I am a Space Marine, and I bear a heavy responsibility. The Father of Genesis and the Emperor are watching me. I cannot afford to be complacent. No matter what the situation, I must do everything in my power to achieve victory!" Aksu said solemnly.

"Unfortunately, it's different here. It's not impossible for someone to help you win!"

“This reflects a problem: the nobles are increasingly distrustful of the Space Marines!” Aksu said.
