Chapter 558 The Rise of the Lion King: Airstrike and Beginning

The explosion occurred at the airport. The first bomb fell on the transport plane on the apron. In the blink of an eye, the huge bird in the sky turned into burning fragments. The huge wing broke and hit the runway. The raging fire and the spilled gasoline instantly ignited everything around.

The paratroopers who boarded the plane behind them were blown into pieces. Their broken hands and feet were wrapped in blood-stained clothes and fell on the surface of the entire runway. The death god who whizzed through the air rushed over the ground with a shadow and threw the bomb again, blowing up another transport plane parked on the standby platform.

The Valkyrie exploded instantly, and its explosion affected other transport planes parked nearby, instantly making the entire airport ablaze. The steel fragments rolled and danced in the flames, outlining a long arc in the air.

The attack plane swooped over the ground. The soldier standing on the top of the armored vehicle held the machine gun on the roof, pulled the trigger, and fired fiercely, following the extremely fast fighter plane. It rushed over like a phantom, and then the oil depot in the distance exploded.

The huge fireball that rose up illuminated the entire airport. The soldier on the top of the armored vehicle continued to fire fiercely into the air. Around him, the Astra Militarum on the runway began to scatter and seek cover. Many people raised their laser guns and fired at the enemy planes in the sky, but they were too fast and the laser guns could not hit them accurately.

The Astra Militarum had faced many bombings. They had seen the carpet bombing of green fighters, the death strafing of the dead spirits that was enough to decompose everything, and the roaring and terrifying bombing of the Chaos Demon Engine, but all of this, everything, was not as threatening as these silent reapers now.

Like the Eldar, the Tau bombers are significantly different from the Imperial ones. They are quieter, but at the same time lightning fast. When they rush over the airport, they are like a group of silent birds. You can only feel their presence when they open their big mouths and drop bombs.

Tau fighters are in units of several, constantly diving from the air, then pulling up again and rotating at high altitude, and then diving again, dropping deadly bullets. This tactic, called the Death Windmill, combined with the Tau's advanced fire control technology and smart bombs, has turned into a real death whirlwind.

The Astra Militarum did not expect to be attacked at all. Before this, the Tau and the Empire had not gone to war, and the escalation of the situation did not seem to reach a visible level of tension. But now, the war began overnight, and they were caught off guard. The airport was seriously lacking in air defense, and they faced the incoming enemy with bare hands.

The surgical air strike destroyed a large number of Imperial fighters parked at the airport one by one. The Lightning fighters and Valkyrie squadrons were blown to charred debris by the precision bombs dropped from overhead before they could even get on the runway. The sky has long been controlled by these hateful aliens.

The whistling fighter planes brought with them the scream of death. They dropped bombs and exploded among the paratroopers on the runway, instantly sprinkling a bloody rain. The red raindrops hit Kane. He bent over, lowered his body and fell behind a Leman Russ.

"Medic!" A shout came from a distance, mixed with more screams, curses and shouts asking what happened, but in fact everyone knew that they were attacked by air.

Kane leaned against the back of the car, and a shadow flew over his head. He looked up and saw the soldier on the top of the tank turned around and fired the heavy machine gun in his hand following the whistling fighter plane, and hot shells kept falling on Kane's head.

Kane's skin was burned, and he immediately leaned to one side, and then leaned on the shoulder of the man next to him. He realized that it was Vito, who also hid behind the tank, looking up at the shadows that kept passing by his head.

Beside him, Loken was holding a grenade launcher and firing fiercely into the air. The burly body of the Space Marine stood on the runway, holding the muzzle high and tracking the enemy planes that were diving like vultures. The bombs kept roaring, and the shells fell from the barrel like machine guns, hitting the ground with a clanging sound.

It rushed over Loken's head and blew up the lightning fighters on the apron in the distance. They exploded into fireballs and mixed together, sweeping across most of the airport in the blink of an eye.

The Astra Militarum soldiers who were firing into the air in front were instantly engulfed, their flesh and blood screaming in the flames, and finally fell to the ground, covered in flames. Kane looked in that direction and cursed, "What the hell is that?!"

"A Tau fighter." Vito looked at the black spot swooping down from the sky, grabbed Kane's collar, and pulled him out of the tank. They rushed out of the tank range, and the machine gunner on the roof squatted down, raised his machine gun and fired at the fighter, and then exploded with the tank.

The turret was thrown up, spinning and flying in the air, and then fell to the ground. Loken followed behind the two, turned around and retreated while firing into the air. He fired and seemed to hit a fighter. The wings of the thing spewed flames, and then fell at a low altitude, hitting the runway and exploding.

Loken looked at the explosion, then suddenly looked up at another fighter that was swooping down on him, firing at the ground, and Loken dodged backwards, dodging the barrage.

Loken moved in, replaced the magazine, and they hid under the wall, but here, with them were the members of the Tau envoys.

They were lucky to be alive, not killed by their own bombardment, nor by the Astra Militarum who were being bombarded by their fellow Tau and might be angry enough to shoot them.

"Damn it! Tau guys! Are you doing a sneak attack?! Undeclared war?!" Kane yelled behind Vito.

Il Solas immediately showed anger, yelled and waved the palms of his four hands, "We will never do such a despicable act! Only you humans can do it!"

"Okay, shut up!" Vito yelled, stopping the two guys. "Contact your fighter planes. No matter what the reason is for them to come here, tell them you are here and stop bombing immediately."

"Believe me, we've tried it a long time ago and can't contact them at all." Renly lowered his head in the explosion. Above the hangar behind them, the black shadow of a vulture rushed past at low altitude and dropped the bomb. When it came down, the bomb exploded on the runway and instantly rose into flames. An Imperial fighter plane that rushed onto the runway and tried to take off to attack was destroyed, and the flames rose like a fire cloud in winter.

The anti-aircraft guns rang, and the anti-aircraft guns behind the sandbags finally began to fire into the air. The multiple gun barrels fired the shells into the sky, tracking the enemy planes and firing fiercely. Around them, more anti-aircraft guns were dragged onto the runway. Star Boundary The soldiers worked together to push the anti-aircraft guns.

Vito looked at them and tilted his head and shouted, "Where's Castin?"

"Dead, or directing a counterattack! Look! Sura is here!" Kane pointed and shouted. On an anti-aircraft gun in the distance, Sura was sitting on the shooter's seat, holding the gun in his hand. The muzzle fired fiercely, turning the muzzle to follow the surroundings and diving down to fire with all its strength.

But Castine isn't here, she's either dead or somewhere leading her soldiers in a full-scale counterattack.

Fighter planes swooped down and dropped bombs. The battlefield church was blown up, and the ceiling of the entire hangar was smashed through. The power of faith did not protect it. The bomb exploded in it, and fire rushed out from the warehouse door in an instant.

The emperor's statue car at the door was also affected and turned into flying fragments. The symbol of the immortal God Emperor also turned into golden fragments, flying all over the sky.

"Damn it! Jurgen is dead!" Kane squatted and yelled. Vito looked back at the roof of the hangar that was lifted off. It rolled in the air with flames, and then suddenly hit the runway and landed on the ground. Next to a tractor-trailer riddled with bullet holes, its driver was lying on the door, having been beaten to a pulp.

The enemy planes rushed over the car, turned in the air and then fired violently at the ground. The barrage passed by Vito, and several Astra Militarum soldiers who were shooting in the air were reduced to blood mist.

"We must knock them off." "How?!" "Follow me, and you guys will follow." Vito looked at the Tau next to him and said, facing the bombing, he remained surprisingly calm.

Solas immediately frowned, "You want us to help you fight our people?" "Your people are throwing bombs above our heads. Unless you have eyes from the bombs, for the sake of the Greater Good and the Emperor." For my sake, keep up."

Vito yelled and rushed out. Kane also yelled and threw away his tattered coat and followed. The former rushed to the side of the tractor, suddenly turned over and jumped onto the multi-barreled anti-aircraft gun behind the vehicle. He sat on The shooter held the trigger.

"Reload."

Kane tore off the ammunition box from the car, but the thing was locked. Kane cursed and pulled out the energy-depleted laser gun, pointed it at the lock several times with the butt of the gun, and then he was suddenly shot towards After pulling it open, Solas raised his pistol and shot to break the lock. Kane quickly opened it and picked up a folder of ammunition.

He turned around and stepped onto the chassis of the anti-aircraft gun, and suddenly inserted the magazine into the barrel. On the other side, Solas also inserted the magazine. With the clicking sound of the shell being loaded, Vito stepped down suddenly. The firing pedal was lifted, the anti-aircraft guns roared instantly, and they fired violently at the air fighters.

Solas and Kane stood beside Vito holding the magazine. They looked at the enemy plane in the sky. Solas raised his long blue finger and pointed to the left.

"There! Enemy plane!"

Vito suddenly looked at the swooping enemy plane. He stepped on the steering pedal at his feet, but the entire gun body did not move at all. Vito saw sparks ejected from the base.

"The steering motor is broken! Manual steering!"

Vito shouted, and Renly had already reached the other side of the barrel next to him. He turned his transcode violently. The body structure of the Tau obviously did not allow them to do strenuous exercise. He gasped for air and turned. That compass.

"Hurry up!" Vito yelled, and Kane and Solas looked at the swooping fighter plane, its muzzle pointed at them, and the barrage poured down, hitting the runway and approaching quickly.

"Renly!" Thoras yelled. Renly cursed in the language of the Tau, and suddenly pressed his whole body on the turntable, turning it to the bottom in an instant. The anti-aircraft gun turned around, Vito aimed at the fighter plane and stepped on the pedal fiercely. The shells roared out and hit the fuselage of the fighter plane. The fighter plane instantly spurted out flames, rushed over their heads, and fell to the ground.

Kane turned his head and looked at the explosion of fire. Vito cursed and pressed down the back of the seat, leaning back, "Stop looking! Lift the muzzle! Quick!"

He yelled, and Thoras of the Fire Clan immediately went up, pushed the exhausted Renly away, grabbed the hand and turned it violently. His speed was much faster, and the entire base of the anti-aircraft gun was quickly raised, and the multiple tubes The cannon was pointed at the sky, and Vito leaned back in his chair and stared at the sky, firing fiercely.

Since humans and the Tau can fight side by side, they stand together, side by side, facing the numerous enemy planes roaring down above their heads. Rains of bullets continue to explode in the air, sending sparks blooming around them.

On the anti-aircraft gun, Kane cursed the vultures swooping down overhead, and the curses echoed in Vito's ears like the interlaced multi-barreled guns on the left and right.

He sat back in his chair, aimed at a Tau fighter and stepped on the pedal to blow it up. The fighter fell towards them, and black smoke swept the sky. It flew over the heads of several people and crashed on the runway and exploded.

Cheers suddenly broke out around them, and the remaining vultures fled, flying into the sky and disappearing behind the clouds.

"Win?" Kane asked.

"No, this is not even the beginning."
