Chapter 403 Where blood flows, where the blood god watches
The top management of Red Torrent believed that this was a bloody show to deceive the eyes of Chaos. A large number of warriors and servants believe that they are doing the right thing and want to avenge the destroyed world and defeat the Dark Angels.
The Dark Angels believe they are cleaning up a rebellion of unprecedented proportions. The inner circle, who knew some of the truth, believed that the red torrent and the blood of the Dark Angels were necessary to meet certain psychic conditions for Malbas and the Chaos Traitors to appear. Also, clean up the warriors who have too deep karma.
Both sides endured the pain and ordered to invest more troops frantically so that their troops would not fall into a firepower disadvantage and be wiped out.
When the war really started, Red Torrent, in addition to unceremoniously attacking ships with obvious national religion characteristics, also maintained a conservative attitude towards other warships.
Yifeng severely criticized this method of warfare.
Now, the firefight below has entered a fever pitch. The entire planet is a scene of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, decapitation and counter-decapitation. Armored troops and air and space support have turned large areas into death places.
The key to ending this battle is to defeat the opponent's fleet. The Dark Angels do not have enough ships to transport warriors, so they will naturally evacuate. Otherwise, without the suppression of the battleships, a single Extermination Order can destroy all the Astartes below. At least their ordinary soldiers don't know our plan.
What they have to do now is to concentrate their firepower to severely damage the opponent's Astartes ships, force them to return to the Forge World for repairs, and let the Ecclesiarchy's ships go deep into the battlefield.
When the Dark Angel Expeditionary Force leaves, only the "Holy Ship" of the national religion with intact combat power can be ordered to stay behind.
In the confrontation between the two major interstellar forces, battleships are always the most important.
At this time, the Dark Angel Expeditionary Force in front behaved very professionally. Their warships advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, maintaining the rhythm of firepower, and dropped rounds of barrages. If any position is attacked, at least three warships will be able to fire support without changing direction.
The Dark Angels mobilized almost a third of their fleet, leaving the terrifying battlefield of the Ghoul Star Territory and concentrating on this wild galaxy.
"Commander William, our number of ships is at a disadvantage, let the flagship take action, otherwise we will not be able to withstand the opponent's continuous bombardment,"
"Don't be anxious. The fleet group maintains heavy firepower at the rear. Be careful that the opponent's decapitation fleet group suddenly jumps out from the rear and organizes an assault fleet. The remaining ships maintain firepower in a slowly retreating posture, leaving valuable ships in front."
"valuable?"
"Battle barges, strike cruisers, whatever has thick defenses."
The Dark Angels will jump gangs, and the Astartes will jump gangs crazily, and many ships will even bombard and move into dangerous positions just to cover those ships jumping gangs.
I have hundreds of adamantine warriors stationed in the narrow corridor, and your thousands of troops cannot pass through.
This is important information. The Dark Angels don't yet know that we can achieve full Adamantium Armor.
The report sent back by the armed forces on the ground must have found a large number of Centurion armors, which is nothing special. The troops originally belonging to Steel Wing and Terror Wing invested by the opponent also had hundreds of Terminators and Dreadnoughts. This is the combined effort of dozens of battle groups.
On the side, there are white-scarred warriors normally wearing power armor riding motorcycles. Everything looks very normal, except that there are almost no assault teams.
William didn't think that the Dark Angels would be crazy enough to think that the battle barges were all centurions, then give up on joining the gang, and continue to bombard the precious battle barges with cannons, eventually destroying them completely.
This conspiracy only has one chance to be carried out, and it must attract enough Astartes from the opponent the first time.
William deployed a battle group and a half at one time, right at the front, which was almost all the strike cruisers and battle barges present.
The decision-makers of the Dark Angel felt a little strange. The battle barges were rough-skinned and fleshy, but they were often used as raids to carry out gang-hopping missions. How could you be so wasteful?
"The Angels of Absolution reported that the opponent's defense line is very tight and the assault troops cannot jump. It is a trap."
The regular strength of the Angels of Absolution is almost as powerful as the Mother Group of the Dark Angels. Their incoming reconnaissance was not detected by the Red Torrent. It was this decision that saved the ship preparing for the jump assault. There was a trap there.
"The other side will not place the command ships directly in front, making us mistakenly believe that it is the main defense area, so we can adopt a feint attack strategy from the front to ensure their safety."
"A very risky plan, but it will indeed make it difficult for the decapitation troops to find the enemy commander. However, who said we are on the defensive?"
They clearly transferred a force from the main fleet and began to move sideways. In fact, there were almost no Astartes among these ships. The Red Torrent showed a very similar side to the White Scars, and the Dark Angels believed they could see through their own force.
Sure enough, compared to the command of the Dark Angel Expeditionary Force, the opponent's fleet group was obviously in a panic. Some of their troop transfers caused some commotion in the fleet, and some ships made an emergency ceasefire to prevent themselves from bombarding passing friendly forces.
"Now, impact!" an inner circle member of the Dark Angels issued an order.
Dozens of battleships suddenly rushed out of the tight front of the entire First Expeditionary Force. They were shooting mediocrely, and afterburners suddenly started, and Kasa launched a charge just after a round of bombardment.
This was a beautiful front-line impact. The artillery shells landed at their original position, and there was nothing there. The next round of large-scale bombardment, due to the turmoil in the opponent's dispatch, the firepower density plummeted.
The void shield easily blocked the gunfire.
The red torrent Astartes battleship did not move, maintaining its course and firing hard, while the other "mortal" battleships seemed to be panicked and began to turn and retreat.
Although there will be a powerful volley when turning to the side, it is a precursor to the opponent's retreat.
"There are differences in the opponent's command. This is a good opportunity." A ship commander of the Dark Angel pressed his hands on the command platform. The large red signal point in front seemed to be an honor that was about to be engraved on his resume.
"Commander, there is an area below that calls for a fleet strike, right below us."
"Don't worry, the War Council has said it! Before defeating the opponent's fleet, no ship is allowed to launch bombardments on land and defeat the enemy fleet with all your strength. Your Majesty, the God Emperor, please help us wash away our sins."
The Dark Angels' long-awaited bombardment aimed at the Astartes battleships at the front of the battle line.
At the same moment, the void shields of all Astartes battleships in the Red Torrent shook and disappeared.
The Dark Angels became even more excited, "Commander, their ships are turning around. The Astartes discovered that their stupid mortal ships escaped. This is so critical. I even doubt the ships on the other side's back line." There are our agents among them,"
"No one can guarantee it, brother. It's just that you and I are not of sufficient level. Send me a military order to tilt the ship down fifteen degrees and execute it immediately."
Most of the battle barge's final counterattack was dodged. The Dark Angels and the sub-regiment's assault ships came within striking distance.
"The opponent's void shield is very weak, and it has reached the point of gang-hopping. Commander, this is not normal."
"In the words of the technical brothers, if Omnisiah doesn't protect them, they will jump out of the gang to attack. The ships should not stop and pursue the escaping ships ahead with all their strength."
After the Dark Angel's battleship was released from the Tiaobangcang, it drove past the side of our ship to chase the "mortal ship".
William almost burst out laughing. The Dark Angels are experts at dealing with all types of enemies, but they have one weakness, that is, they are too experienced.
Can the same methods used to deal with traitors and turncoats work against red orcs?
Can decapitating the Eternal Mountain cause command chaos? Our flagship is invisible!
The "fleeing" mortal ships began to turn around and began to concentrate their firepower on the "pursuing troops". The Dark Angels still ordered an all-out attack, but as they drove forward, they discovered...
Damn it, how did the Red Torrent Astartes battleships catch up?
At the moment when Tiao Gangcang entered the cabin, the engine room of our ship, the priest of the Mechanicum finally pushed the lever to the highest level while jumping back and forth crazily, raising the weakened void shield to full power again, holding on to some Stray bullets.
The void shield of the battle barge was really blown out, but its void shield was modular. At first, it was carried by the shield on the bow, and now it is the shield on the stern, which is a new independent void shield.
The battleship suddenly entered a full power protection state.
Most of the Dark Angel's gang members chose the engine area, and a small number chose to behead the bridge.
They saw a golden wall blocking the intersection.
There are not many passages for Astartes to pass, not to mention that the one you are joining is a battle barge.
What if the most elite veteran joins a company in one fell swoop? Even if it carries some explosive weapons, space-time stasis bombs, gravity guns...
Don’t I have what you’re talking about?
The precious weapons left over from the real dark age have not yet been used. These warriors cannot break through the defense line of pure adamantine. Explosive weapons can indeed effectively heat the adamantine armor, provided that you can withstand the counterattack of the adamantine warriors.
The ship in the worst condition lost control of half of the battleship, and the void shield module was turned off, but as long as the engine was still on, it could maintain its forward direction.
The Dark Angel opened the air valve in reverse, sucking out a large amount of air, and forced the ship to stop by killing a large number of mortals.
Crew members in important positions have simple spacesuits, which can maintain their vital signs for a short period of time, enough for the ship to sail into our fleet group.
The soldiers of the Dark Angel sub-regiment did not expect that the bones they encountered this time were so hard. The conventional weapons of some sub-regiments could not even heat the opponent's armor. The narrow passage restricted the commando's route back. In the end, some Ah Start hid in the ship, and a large number of gang jumpers were killed.
The enemy ship assault group that penetrated deeply into our formation was attacked from both front and rear. Although many of the weapon arrays of the Eternal Mountain were destroyed in the gang jumping, either the operator was killed, or a macrogun array was detonated by the enemy in desperate situations. It is a temporary ammunition depot, but as long as there is a weapon that can fire, it will be a fatal blow to the ship with its butt pointed towards us.
The "sneak attack" fleet without the Astartes fleet had to really rush towards us to buy time for the main force to rescue the assault force.
When the two sides separated, the planetary airspace under our control was indeed reduced by about 20%, but this round of battle caused a large number of Astartes damage. The number of injured ships on both sides was about the same, but the number of Astartes we killed was More.
A small number of Dark Angels used mysterious devices to allow communications to break through our interference and reveal the internal situation of the ship to the parent group.
In the video, a five-man veteran gang-hopping force encountered an adamantine warrior head-on. They threw all their weapons, but the opponent just blocked his head with his arms and blocked the attack of the holy plasma pistol.
At the same time, the direct-fire missiles on the chest made the two warriors lose their combat effectiveness.
One of their brothers went around from the side and was attacked by another adamantine warrior at the entrance of the corridor.
Finally, he blasted through the wall, slipped into a small passage that was inaccessible to the adamantine warriors, and attempted to use a psychic communicator to transmit the message.
After sending this information, the anti-psionic warriors immediately noticed him and surrounded him.
The battleship entered the People's Light after the "subspace jump", and the Dark Angels asked the tow ship to drag the severely damaged or even powerless ship to the Mechanical Ark in the galaxy behind.
This firefight alerted the Dark Angels, who quickly adjusted their war strategies.
Their rich experience allowed them to adjust quickly and stabilize their position.
......
In the wild world below, several battle groups were fighting in a fierce battle. This number of Astartes seemed small, but there were very few "infantry" actions.
The Terminators and Dreadnoughts cooperated with the terror tanks that only appeared on a large scale during the Great Crusade. The terror vehicles driven by the Astartes ruthlessly destroyed a large number of mortal tanks.
The fleshy beast loaded with artillery could not block the torrent of steel in front of it. Only the Roscoe ground sweeper could cause an effective counterattack.
The cavalry-like shield system can withstand at most a few rounds of heavy explosive shells. Those vortex main guns and singularity generators that have not appeared on the battlefield for who knows how many years... can also destroy them.
The only thing that makes people feel relieved is that around the adamantine warriors, the vortex main cannon does not have much effect, and the subspace rift is almost impossible to generate, let alone sucking our armored troops into it.
Crowwing's motorcycle troops were speeding across the battlefield, and they finally had a fighting chance against the White Scar motorcycles.
Motorcycle squads will only appear on the edges and rear of the battlefield. They cannot attack on the frontal battlefield, but they are good at destroying the headquarters and disrupting the logistics line.
The commander sitting on the combat motorcycle debugged the precious stasis bomb.
This time, the stasis bomb will be followed by complete destruction.
The opponent also threw a stasis bomb.
The White Scars' motorcycle force is very small, with a few anti-gravity motorcycles, Caul's technology, unknown technology, and some Dark Eldar style.
This seriously incongruous mash-up style disgusted the heirs of Lane and further confirmed that they were heretics.
During the rapid speed, bursts of one-handed weapons are just an appetizer, and face-to-face close combat is the battle that determines life and death.
A finely crafted power sword, or even a holy sword made of pure obsidian, is drawn out of its scabbard.
And we took out the three-section stick from the side of the motorcycle.
The foldable version of the Coiling Dragon Stick is made into a three-section stick because the stick is too long to carry. When you swing it, the connection points of the two front sticks get stuck, and the power Coiling Dragon Stick lights up.
The outcome of this hedging was disastrous. The Dark Angels were dominant in the attack motorcycle battle. Their firepower was more sophisticated and much stronger than our crude weapons. However, the assault motorcycle battle failed miserably. Nearly half of the attack motorcycles lost one person. Soldiers, about 30% of the motorcycles lost two soldiers and were annihilated.
The angry Dark Angel pretended to be defeated, and then threw a gravity bomb underground.
After a delay of 0.5 seconds, the gravity bomb explodes.
The problem is that when the Dark Angels were preparing for war, they didn't know that Red Torrent had so many anti-gravity vehicles.
They thought it was an ordinary motorcycle, but it was attacked by a gravity bomb and floated in the sky, becoming a target for their shooting.
After our anti-gravity motorcycle entered the field of microgravity bombs, gravity suddenly disappeared and it "popped" into the sky like a rocket.
Everyone was confused.
So, they quickly adjusted the gravity parameters and adjusted to ultra-high gravity mode.
In this mode, it would be difficult for a century-old Primaris veteran to act.
The question is...are there few century-old veterans?
After the emergence of Adamantine Armor, our mortality rate is very small.
The adamantine armor has been around for almost two hundred years.
Those who are allowed to attack wearing ordinary power armor are all the most elite White Scars. Their reactions are extremely fast, and few of them are hit by the second round of gravity bombs.
The person who was hit endured a lot of pressure, but the reaction engraved in their bones allowed them to stabilize the motorcycle and prevent it from tipping over.
The anti-gravity motorcycle was pressed to the ground. It was not the motorcycle that was afraid, but the ground.
Soldiers who have used Caul's masterpiece, the Astraeus super-heavy anti-gravity tank, should know that because it is too heavy, its anti-gravity mode is not to let oneself fly up, but to use terrifying gravity waves to push those below. All matter is annihilated.
Kind of like a hovercraft.
Our anti-gravity motorcycles were originally unable to reach the distance of this annihilating material, but the gravity bombs came to their rescue.
"Whoosh~" He escaped underground.
Lane's heir looked back at the red torrent motorcycle army flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, and looked at his own bomb suspiciously.
I'm afraid this is not a fake.
......
"Azrael, our current equipment cannot achieve a decisive lead. Do we need to use those things?"
"We are here to annihilate them, not to destroy them."
"Honestly, it makes no difference."
After careful consideration, Azrael allowed them to use an ancient mechanical virus. Compared with those silicon-level nanorobots that vitrified the planet in minutes, or were deemed as natural disaster-level heretics by the Martian Mechanicus, this point was different. The power is really nothing.
But it has an advantage. Its effective size is very small, as small as a few cubic centimeters thick. What really occupies the volume is its attached armor-breaking device, which can break most armor including reinforced ceramic steel. .
Each Dark Angel can be equipped with a short-range grenade hung on the arm. When the motorcycle troops approach a super-heavy tank, they can shoot it out. The virus core will penetrate into it like an armor-piercing projectile. It can immediately paralyze the opponent's tank.
Other members of the inner circle protested. It was important to eliminate the traitors, but the main purpose was to bring out the prophesied enemy, the fallen angel who ascended to the devil.
There is no evidence, but several members of the inner circle believe that the rebellion in front of them is led by fallen angels.
"The Emperor's will is supreme, Azrael. Every moment of your hesitation is making the Chapter's losses greater. The execution of the plan has failed so far. I suggest that you start voting on the alternative plan."
Azrael's cold voice seemed to come from the void.
"You are all perverting the Emperor's will to suit your plans."
"Azrael, do you know what you are doing?"
"This is the first warning and the last."
Azrael didn't give the others a chance to answer. They still believed that the Fallen Angels were the main purpose, even if they allowed a rebellion of this scale.
......
Malbas awoke in the Warp, badly damaged by the last battle, and his resurrection took even longer.
It will lead a warband composed of several fallen angels as the backbone and a large number of followers of the Blood God.
"The blood god's revelation has come. At the moment of your resurrection, a grand war is going on. The dark angels are bleeding. This is a good time to destroy them."
The existence of the adamantine warriors cannot be sensed by the Blood God. He can only feel that a large number of Kruger beasts and mortal warriors are falling together with the descendants of Lion Johnson.
Only sensing mortals made Him recognize this mortal army, and they caused massive damage to the Astartes Expeditionary Force.
The Blood God hopes to recruit soldiers from these mortals to increase the scale of the Great Invasion in 42K888.
He ordered an army of World Eaters to join the battlefield, taking advantage of the heavy casualties of the Dark Angels to kill them completely, and corrupted the "mortal army with outstanding military achievements" to select outstanding gladiators from them.
Khorne would not choose a sneak attack. He would openly let a large number of troops join the battle, and both sides would declare war at the same time.
Only Subspace knows who the master of Malbas is, but if he can attack the Dark Angel, he will participate in this operation.
"Who is the current Chapter Master of the Dark Angels?"
"Azrael."
"We are an old rival. It seems that not too long has passed. I hope he is still able to use the knife and does not let out a fearless roar of incompetence."
"No, he underwent Primaris transformation and is now 42K for more than years...if we set off immediately."
Malbas looked at the speaker, and the fallen angel with eight heads hanging on his body said with a tearing voice: "It is said that he has completely defeated the contemporary champion of the war group, and is technically the champion of the Dark Angels."
Some fallen angels, including the Faithful Blood God, gathered around the Demon Prince and gathered on the "Source of Fallen" strike cruiser.
