Chapter 640 Doomsday Storm: Quiet Storm

Heavy footsteps of power armor passed under the door of the church. Bell, wearing a white apothecary armor, entered the church. A large number of Astartes had already gathered in the main hall of the church. The Ultramarines were directing the arrival of the Astartes. The servitors on the ground were cleaning up broken glass, torn carpets and other things on the ground.

The overly incomplete murals were completely stripped off, and the walls were filled with cables, communication lines, and shelves for weapons. The original religious flags were removed and replaced with the flags of the Ultramarines.

The place was de-religious, and only the Emperor's statue survived. Although Guilliman taught his descendants to eliminate religious customs and has always done so, as for the symbol of the Emperor himself, the 10th The three legions still maintained respect and awe.

Bell walked through the hall. In the center of the hall was a holographic tactical index. It had been efficiently arranged by the priests of the Mechanicus. Through the surrounding cable signals, it obtained all the signals on the entire planet.

A group of people gathered around the table. Sicarius, Calga, Ragnar, Lancelot and Olaf were all at the table. Between them, Vito stood in the middle. He looked at the projection in front of him. .

"How long does it take for the Chimera Squadron to arrive?"

Vito asked the approaching Ultramarines officer, who stood at attention and saluted, "The auxiliary army is deploying as quickly as possible. They estimate that the deployment can be completed within two hours."

"Tell their officer that he has half an hour and I will shoot him if he exceeds the time limit."

"How much is the company just for?"

Vito ignored the Ultramarines officer who left after saluting, and turned directly to another person to ask. The latter was a Nova Warrior wearing white and light blue armor.

"The first batch of Astartes companies have entered the deployment track and are riding the Stormbirds. The Thunderhawk gunships are preparing to land and strike on the ground. There are seven companies in total."

"Too few. Send an additional eleven companies and let Sicarius lead the team. Isn't he always making a fuss about doing something?"

Vito leaned on the table, pulled a corner of the map with his fingers, and pointed at the place names on it, "Ask him, are eleven companies enough for him to take down the nest city in one day? Not enough, I'm sending."

Vito smiled mockingly, and everyone at the table was amused. Chapter Captain Calgar showed a rare old smile.

"I think there is no problem. Let's go and give the order. Let Sicarius take the new recruit company and give those boys a long experience."

"Sir Vito, the Eighth Company reported that all the local defense forces were killed or turned into zombies. They need support to capture the Yurat Jones District."

"Move two squadrons of Lightning fighters from orbit, and a squadron of Thunderhawk gunships will pass over."

"Sir, the Ninth Company is requesting support. They were suppressed by the firepower of the renegade defense forces in Taiping Prefecture. There are an unknown number of Death Guards among them. The company commander is requesting support."

"Do we still have a reserve team?"

"No more, Lord Lancelot."

"After the air force squadron has completed its support, turn around and support the Ninth Company. Tell them that it doesn't matter if they can't capture Taiping State itself, but they must capture the Diane Doyle Department Store, which is the commanding heights."

Vito said and pointed behind him, "Order the Skitarii to adjust the landing position and airdrop the Hydra Earthshaker cannon directly to me on the roof of the shopping mall. Set it up and aim it at the Death Guard. Mortarion likes firecrackers. "

"My lord, the Alpha Commander of the Skitarii explained that the Hydra cannon was too heavy and he was concerned that the roof was not heavy enough."

"Tell him that this is his problem. Solve it, otherwise he will be killed and another one will take over."

"Where's the Knight Titan family? They were supposed to arrive ten minutes ago."

"Sir Cahalman Dempsey just sent word that their transport ship was hit by orbital fire in the city and was 10 units away from the intended landing site."

"They are under enemy air suppression, my lord."

"Lock the position of the ground-based firepower platform, maneuver the Star Shuttle over, and conduct orbital bombardment. The Crosser and Kongi Correa are responsible for covering it. After completing the mission, there is no need to leave, turn around, and bomb this position again. Give them the coordinates. "

"Ah, Bell." Vito said, pointing to the parliament and uploading the coordinates lit up on the believers to the system. "What's the situation outside? Has the safe zone been opened?"

"According to your order, the safe area has been cleared except for a radius of twenty miles."

"Very well, tear down all the marble columns, statues, or religious buildings you know, and make room for the gunships. They need a place to replenish fuel and ammunition nearby."

"We don't have enough servitors."

"It's okay. Let the terminators use pump elemental flames to burn it. If it's not enough, add plasma. I don't care if they have enough ammunition. Let them find the quartermaster. I just want the landing point."

Vito leaned on the table and slid his fingers quickly, and several bright red lines appeared on the picture. "The gunboats do not need to return to orbit to resupply after entering the atmosphere. They can replenish their firepower here and attack immediately. Tell the quartermaster the amount of ammunition." Multiply that by five for me, the Ridgway Fire Principle.”

Ridgway was a general of a technological tribe called the United States on ancient Terra. He invented a set of fire superiority doctrine. Simply put, no matter how much ammunition is needed on the front line, multiply it by two and then shoot it out. Vito and Li Qiwei had fought in the war and suffered a lot from him back then.

"All air forces will be dispatched day and night to attack in Stura's death round. Before dawn tomorrow, expand the safety zone by two times and capture the nest city for me."

The communication lines in the church flickered, transmitting the commander's orders. The remote control antenna kept rotating, and the sound of aircraft wings flying through the sky could be heard.

Among the Astartes, Felix came over with his helmet under his arm. He was covered in residual Nurgle stains and had a pungent smell.

"Damn it, Felix, have you taken a shower?" Vito pinched his nose and asked with a wry smile.

"Don't worry. I've tested the toxins on brother Felix. The toxins are within the safe range. We are all Astartes and will not be infected."

"I'm not."

"Yes, you are worried about the Nurgle Plague."

Ragnar scratched his nose on the side. When Vitor and Guilliman cleared the entire square, he didn't even wear a helmet, but not a drop of blood was left on him.

They were all cleaned up by lightning, and Guilliman was almost the same. When they came back with their swords and the Terminators, Ragna and the others had just arrived on the surface. Apparently they arrived too late, leaving nothing for them.

"How are your injuries?"

"Fortunately, Master Vito, don't worry about me. Do you have any orders?"

"Are you anxious? You've only been away for a while."

"It's been long enough."

Vito smiled and stood up from the table, "Then tell me what's going on here. The atmosphere is full of interference, and scanning doesn't work at all. I don't like fighting blindfolded."

"Of course, sir." Felix said, inserting a USB flash drive that he had prepared long ago into the podium. The screen twitched, and then there was a picture that shrouded the screen itself. The top was a blurred picture below. In addition, the buildings are clearly visible.

"This is information from the auxiliary army. When I commanded the fortress to fall, I sent a small team to retrieve this information. I hope it will be helpful, sir."

"It helps a lot."

Vito crossed his arms and took ten seconds to read everything before the system was completely sorted out. This city was no longer a mystery in his mind.

"It seems that our enemies have deployed a lot of people here. It's great. We don't have to do reconnaissance. Mortarion, or the most important thing here must be here."

Calga looked at the huge flashing beacon. There was a big crater there. He didn't check the information as fast as Vito, but he still finished it quickly. "This is the impact point. The Death Guard and Nurgle's demons came from Come here."

"Yes, it's really big."

Vito looked at the big pit and said, "I guess the target point is right here."

A red dot appeared on the picture, and Ragna showed a puzzled expression, "How do you know this?" "The sixth sense." "The sixth sense belongs to women."

"The subspace here is very polluted. I can smell the stench from here, ugh."

"I go willingly."

"Felix, Sicarius is not here, so you don't have to be in such a hurry." Vito smiled bitterly, glanced at Felix and then at the flashing red dot, "And you can't just lead a team there. "The radiation here is so heavy, it means there's something big here."

"Where's the bombing?"

"You can tell with your toes, Calga, the subspace psychic energy here must have materialized and formed a barrier, just like here. That old guy is quite reliable sometimes."

"We can only enter from the ground. Will the barrier stop us?"

"I don't know, but they have set up so many defenses and they probably won't welcome visitors. Delantius, tell the girls to take a trip."

Custodes Tribune Drantius nodded. The chicks he was talking about were naturally the Sisters of Silence. They would suppress possible barriers so that the commandos could enter.

"Of course it will be the chosen one."

Vito raised his head and changed the circle of people around him, "I know you all want to go, but this time I will call your name, Kalga, you stay, Bell, you follow, this is the cesspit of Nurgle, the team needs A qualified pharmacist, Ragnar, knows you want to kill someone, so go with him, and so will Lancelot."

"What about me? Sir."

"Felix, are you sure you're okay? You were beaten so hard that your armor was shattered."

"I'm fine. Sister Adele Bana, who was also seriously injured, can also get up. I beg you to let me go with the original body."

Vito smiled, "Where is the little beauty?", "Sister Adele Bana has recovered. I healed her wounds and found no obvious infection, but I don't quite understand the "power of faith" in it. play a role.”

Bell said with some doubts. Vito was silent for a moment and looked directly at the imperial guards. "Get rid of them and go there yourself."

The tribune nodded, grabbed the halberd, and led the imperial guards under his command out. The devout nuns knelt down and prayed when they saw them. Adele Barna and the nuns never thought that they would see them, let alone I never imagined what they would bring.

"Bell, prepare the gunships and order the Air Force escort squadrons to assemble."

"Yes, sir."

Vito turned around and came to the foot of the Emperor's statue. Here stood a man. His surroundings were empty. All the Astartes remained below, only him, standing here.

He looked up at the statue of the Emperor, with many thoughts flashing in his eyes.

"Our Thunder Eagle will be ready soon. Don't worry, I'll fly. No matter where that kid sets up something, we will fly in. We just have to bring the Custodes girls with me, my head."

"No, you stay here and take command, I'll go."

"Guilliman, do you know what you are facing?"

"I know."

Robert Guilliman, one of the twenty sons of the statue in front of him, turned around. He looked at Vito, "You know, you can't convince me."

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and finally Vito crossed his arms and sighed, "Okay, I'll leave Calga here, I will clear the route along the way, and your ship will arrive soon."

"thank you my friend."

"Robert."

Vito stopped Guilliman, who passed by him. The latter stopped, and Vito turned to look at him. "No matter where you see anything, kill him. He is no longer the same person as before."

"I know."

Guilliman left, and he walked out of the church door. Behind him, two pairs of golden eyes were looking at him.
