Chapter 941: Such a big gap
Bilson's question was responded to by the Dawn Messengers.
"Please trust us, we are enough."
Bilson found the words of the Dawn Messengers ridiculous.
What do you mean by enough? How can you believe it?
Have you ever encountered enemies like this?
We have all faced the enemy, suffered losses, and fought face to face. We have told you that the enemy is difficult and needs strong support, but you guys just don't take it seriously?
No, what are you doing!
He was almost angry.
However, what happened next caused his view to change dramatically.
The arriving messengers of dawn simply informed them and then quickly launched an attack on the enemy.
There was no special preparation. We just used a relatively conventional tactical approach. At most, everyone put away their long-range weapons and charged forward mainly with melee weapons and methods suitable for melee combat.
There is no problem dealing with ordinary enemies.
Most of the long-range firepower from the Dark Eldar troops could not hit, and even if they did hit, they could be blocked by the protective effect of the power armor. In fact, most of the firepower that could hit was judged to be not a big problem to take it head-on, so it could hit. The Dawn Messengers did not mean to take the hits on purpose, but they would choose to dodge and take some enemy firepower that was not a big deal to be hit, so as to avoid those attacks that could cause fatal damage.
Seeing this scene, Bilson didn't think it was anything strange.
Even though the Dawnbringer seemed to be charging forward at a relatively fast speed and was very skillful in dodging firepower, so what?
The Nightmare Executioners pose the greatest threat, and this threat has not yet been resolved.
Bilson was getting a little anxious, but what else could he do? Before the Dawn Messengers came, he had already told them about the characteristics and threats of the Nightmare Executioner.
What can we do if the messengers of dawn don’t take it seriously?
He definitely didn't have the idea of watching the Dawn Messenger being humiliated and then smugly saying to him, "You didn't listen to me."
Although he was angry, they were all fighting for humanity, and he didn't want to see a large number of people from the neighboring regiment being killed all of a sudden, which would obviously make the situation worse.
Angry and helpless, he could only order his troops to maintain a tight formation and a defensive posture where they could not be easily teleported in and killed, and to raise weapons such as bolters and plasma guns to provide long-range fire support for the Dawn Messengers.
However, this obviously made the dozens of soldiers of the Holy Infant Archon have little influence on the battle situation. Long-range firepower cannot be said to be completely useless, but at least it is not of much help.
Ultimately, it all depends on how well the Dawn Messengers themselves fight.
When the Second Company of the Dawn Messengers collided with the enemy, their swords faced each other, and the battle broke out, the scene that Bilson least wanted to see happened - those Nightmare Executioners hidden in the array of the Black Skin Troops appeared behind the many Dawn Messengers like smoke and fog, silently, colorless and odorless.
The Nightmare Executioner suddenly swung down the scimitar held in his hand, which was full of the artistic style of the Dark Eldar.
However, what happened next stunned Bilson.
What he originally thought was happening to the soldiers under his command, those chopped-off heads, did not happen.
When they were attacked, only two Dawn Messengers were unable to react, or the attackers were too strong to resist, and their helmets and heads fell to the ground, causing fatal injuries. But the rest of the people all reacted, and many of them quickly launched a counterattack!
This is completely different from what happened to the Holy Infant Archon!
Of course, some of Bilson and his soldiers reacted, and he even launched a counterattack and killed the Nightmare Executioner who attacked him. However, half of them were able to react and were lucky to survive, and some were even seriously injured. Another half, that is, nearly 20 combat brothers, were killed instantly.
The proportions of Dawnbringer are completely different!
Is this because the Dawn Messenger had prepared in advance and accepted his reminder?
Yes, but it is much more than that.
Otherwise, Bjergsen wouldn't be so afraid of those nightmare executioners.
Even with advance preparation, those Nightmare Executioners arrived too quickly and too suddenly. They were also extremely powerful warriors who were no less capable than the Space Marine veterans in head-on combat, and were even stronger than them.
Only two Dawn Messengers were killed!
In fact, in the subsequent counterattacks and counter-attacks, they directly caused the deaths of more than twenty Nightmare Executioners!
The remaining ones did not even dare to continue fighting with the Dawn Messengers, but hurriedly activated short-distance transmission methods and ran away.
The Dawn Heralds were not panicked. They continued to slaughter the other Dark Eldar troops according to the established plan.
Even the Nightmare Executioner is no match for the Dawnbringer, let alone these ordinary Dark Eldar troops.
And when the number of Dark Eldar troops was rapidly reduced, those Nightmare Executioners could no longer hide in the crowd.
The short-distance transmission means they possess cannot be used uninterruptedly, otherwise their strength would be far more than its current level.
Short-distance teleportation can be used as a means of attack for them like smoke and fog, but it is difficult to use it as a way for them to escape long distances.
In the end, less than ten Nightmare Executioners managed to escape by various means. The rest were all killed.
After killing the fifty-man Nightmare Executioner Squad and all the defenders who were lured from the target warehouse to cooperate with them, the Dawn Messenger only paid the price of eleven lives in total.
The help of the Holy Infant Archons cannot be completely ignored. The intelligence they provided in advance and the pursuit after the threat of the Nightmare Squad was lifted also played a role.
But just some.
Captain Bilson himself knew that the victory was entirely due to the outstanding strength of the Dawn Messengers.
By now, he had seen it clearly. The reason why the Dawn Messengers were able to have such a high chance of survival and even counterattack under the attack of the Nightmare Executioner was not because they had any special methods, but purely because of their personal strength, which was strong enough!
If it was just the sudden attack of the Nightmare Executioners, it was not clear, or it could be self-deceiving, whether there might be a special way to deal with it. However, after several waves of confrontations, and watching the Dawn Messengers in close combat, killing the Dark Eldar with ease, it was clear that this was really a difference in strength.
They are all Space Marines, why is there such a big difference between them?
Bilson fell into deep doubt.
Especially during the communication after the battle, he learned that the Dawnbringers had only been established for less than twenty years, and that the Battle of Comoros was the first major war they participated in, so his self-doubt became even greater.
We have fought for so many years...how come we are not as good as a group of fledgling new regiments?
