Shadow Slave
Chapter 852
A soldier named Ash was not having a great day. Early into the battle, his powerful exoskeleton armor suit sustained damage to one of its knee joints. Although he could still fight and shoot his rifle, not to mention more than willing to face the abominations despite having his mobility severely reduced, the command judged that the risk was not worth it.
As a result, he had to abandon his fellow infantrymen and retreat to the supply train of the division, where a team of techs tried to repair his suit as fast as possible.
…Sadly, they weren't fast enough.
Who knew that a bunch of new Gates would open, with one of them appearing almost on top of the scarcely defended supply train?
While the techs and other non-combatants desperately tried to retreat closer to the main formation, Ash and a small number of soldiers that happened to be nearby had no choice but to face the advancing Nightmare Creatures alone.
They unleashed a torrent of bullets at the monsters, but there were just too many of them. Even when he emptied his shoulder-mounted launcher to send a hail of miniature rockets into the mass of rabid abominations, the surprisingly potent explosive load his missiles carried failed to make any difference.
He had managed to slaughter a number of Dormant bastards with that salvo, but those of them that were Awakened…
You needed an Awakened to kill another Awakened. All mundane soldiers knew that, more or less.
Slowly, Ash's blood turned cold in his veins.
'Bad, bad, bad…'
An officer's shout reached his ears through the communication system of the armor suit, barely legible because of all the distortion produced by the mass of Gates:
"...tach… bayonets!"
Attach bayonets…
That was the order that every soldier dreaded.
