Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 144: War Begins (6) Decisive Battle and Elegy

Boom!

The warhammer and the power axe collided head-on, and the 3.5-meter silver giant and the chosen champion with Khorne's blessing wrestled closely. They were less than half a meter apart, and they could even hear each other's breathing when they looked at each other.

The balance of pure power confrontation lasted less than half a second. Calvin, who exerted force again, overturned the opponent. Before he could chase him, the bullets from the veterans behind Talos had already reached him.

His right hand with lightning claws was stretched out, and at least 50 explosive bombs on the psychic shield in front of him were burning unyieldingly. And what arrived earlier than that was the shameful close-range sneak attack of the plasma pistol.

Looking up, Talos, who had already rolled back, was putting away the plasma pistol in his hand.

Obviously, even without the cover of these veterans, the Khorne champion in front of him had his own way to save his life.

"Bah! You guys are really bad at playing tactics!"

He locked his eyes on Taros and spat on the ground. Amid the rustling sound of the ground, Calvin quietly put down his hand that was stretched to his waist.

The next second, the silver figure rose up again and rushed towards Taros through the lock of several grenade launchers. Behind the two people who were fighting, the Grey Knights' Terminators and Chaos Space Marines also began to engage in brutal close combat.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The battle between the two giants became white-hot, and the huge sound of weapons colliding and the storm it brought raged around the two.

One side had strange strength and agility far beyond understanding, and the other side was the Blood God's choice who relied on martial arts to obtain Khorne's blessing in endless killings.

Calvin's hammer hit faster and faster, and the increasingly heavy weight of "Mission" made Taros, who relied on his martial arts advantage to balance offense and defense, soon fall into a situation where he had more defense and less offense.

This thing is quite resistant to beating!

Calvin had a blank expression on his face, but he was surprised at the other party's skills. He could only say that he was worthy of being the winner of the bloody battle? The champion swordsman was really good!

The opponent was one-third different in strength and was almost crushed, but he could still rely on martial arts and routines to entangle with him. If it were someone else, he might not be able to get any benefits. He was surprised in his heart, but he didn't know that the other party was more entangled than him.

"What the hell is this?"

Talos thought to himself.

The almost crushing power and the sharp insight of a demigod are not easy to defend head-on. The skills and routines can only be used once. If you dare to do it again, no matter how you change the combination, you will definitely be seen through.

Is this to remember all the details of his force? This kind of learning ability in this environment! And the most hateful thing is, what kind of eyes is this!

If the opponent didn't have the iconic seed of the subspace essence, he would have thought he was fighting against a primarch.

Especially the combination of the warhammer and the lightning claw. If it weren't for the obvious difference in the color of Calvin's armor and the smaller body, he almost thought he saw the pale blue figure again.

No! His father is much stronger than him! He doesn't even need to be the Father God! At this moment, any Primarch standing in front of him, he can't hold out for a round!

He shook his head slightly, throwing away the absurd thoughts from his mind.

The Wolf God is dead, and he is already an orphan without a father. He doesn't want to get involved in Abaddon's little things, let him go!

He just wants to take his brothers to ask for a bowl of rice, as for when to die in battle, it depends on fate.

He can't be distracted anymore. With such an enemy in front of him, he has no chance and no right to think about it at this time.

After a few seconds of confrontation, the strength and agility that he relied on for survival and was proud of were completely suppressed. If it weren't for his skills honed by countless bloody battles over the past ten thousand years, he would have been killed on the spot.

Collapse!

The old Taros was brushed by the flying "mission", and the folding force field on the shoulder armor was instantly overloaded. The heavy Gothic shoulder armor was slightly deformed. The octagonal rune of Khorne was scraped by the edge of the warhammer at the original position of the legion mark, and it shattered with a sound, revealing the Moon Wolf that had not seen the light of day for a long time.

Really! I haven't seen the mark for a long time!

Taros, who came to his senses, had no intention of fighting again. After resisting Calvin's next claw attack with all his strength, he looked at his comrades around him.

The veterans had been paying attention to his movements for a long time, and they were not optimistic about this battle. But the trust in this brother who had led them through countless bloody battles made them endure casualties again and again in silence.

"Go! Can't die here!"

The moment they received Taros's eyes, these veterans covered each other with amazing tacit understanding, and at the cost of three deaths and three injuries, they forcibly cut off the pursuit of the Grey Knights and opened up the distance of the battle.

At this point in the battle, the Grey Knights had already lost the lives of three Paladins, and the rest were all wounded.

The situation of the Chaos Space Marines of the Khorne Warband was even worse. Of the twenty who came, less than ten could stand up now.

Calvin, who wanted to chase again, stopped chasing under the concentrated fire of the bombs that the veterans desperately covered.

He sighed as he looked at Talos, who had retreated to the demon camps on both sides.

It was not impossible to kill them by force, but with the demons surrounding them, if he used teleportation, a method that had already been used once, on these veterans again, he might have to be prepared to lose both sides.

The mortal army in front was still in danger, and Calvin had no time to entangle with them. He glanced at the direction where Talos had given way, and there was no obstacle there except for some demon soldiers.

You got a bargain!

"Let's go!" Calvin waved his hand, and the Honor Guards came forward to join them. After reshooting the Chaos Space Marines that Taros and others failed to take away, they dragged the bodies of three Chaos Terminators and the bodies of the three members who had died to kill them outside the cave.

Among the demons on the side, the unwilling figure of the red horned helmet could still be vaguely seen.

"No! My brother!"

The demon camp in the valley was in chaos, and the big demons were enforcing military discipline in anger.

Well, military discipline is really too difficult for them. It can only be said that the big demons are using their authority to maintain basic order.

The news that the portal to the subspace was blocked does not need to be deliberately spread.

After all, when the subspace fluctuations that permeated the surface of the entire planet began to dissipate, these natives of the subspace were like sea fish that broke into the estuary, and they immediately noticed the abnormality in the air.

The road home being blocked is still a secondary problem. As long as they live long enough, the demons have the opportunity to experience the experience of being driven back to the subspace after destroying everything.

But the side effects of the closed portal were hard for them to accept. After all, it had been nearly a year since they arrived in this barren land, and most demons had never even smelled the smell of blood. This kind of loss-making business of paying the toll but having no work to do had already weakened the demons.

Previously, they had the energy of the subspace that the Chaos Gate swallowed and spit out as a supplement, so their weakness was not too obvious. When this supplement was cut off, the demons who had been suppressed for too long began to make a fuss.

The demon army began to shake, and between the shadows, malicious eyes began to focus on the leading officers.

They did not dare to look at the Chaos Lord on the high platform with rebellious eyes for the time being, but if this chaos was allowed to continue, it would be a matter of time before the sword of regicide was raised. After all, this was Chaos, which was famous for overthrowing the superior, wasn't it?

The Chaos Lord of Khorne sent all his personal guards out. On the one hand, he suppressed the chaos of the demons by killing them internally, and on the other hand, he sent elite troops to check the specific situation.

As for its original body, it led the main force in the base camp to start pressing forward.

The retreat had been cut off, so there was no room for error in the goal ahead!

If this also went wrong, he could not imagine what kind of ridicule he would face from his colleagues and how harshly the Father God would deal with him when he returned to the Bronze Throne.

The first great demon in history to be trapped and killed on the surface because of no spaceship? Just imagine it, it can hear the churning of blood in its skull!

Calvin had led his Grey Knights out of the battlefield at this time. After killing the last wave of pursuers, he selected three Grey Knights to take care of the bodies of his dead comrades. The Thunder Eagles that were responding in orbit had already set off. Their mission was to ensure survival to ensure that the precious wealth of the war group was not lost.

Not only was it a matter of recycling the precious gene seeds, but the Holy Shield Terminator must also be recycled.

In this dark age, every Terminator was a precious piece of equipment. Even the well-equipped Grey Knights were unwilling to easily discard these inherited equipment with the blood of their predecessors.

As for the remaining nine people, after Calvin's repeated persuasion failed, he could only let them follow him to the other end of the valley after a short rest.

The red wave swept in again. In the eyes of the outpost soldiers of the mortal army, this offensive was more powerful and terrifying than half an hour ago.

The demon camp in the center of the valley also joined this attack, and the blood-red banner with skulls hanging on it, symbolizing the Chaos Lord, also moved forward with the army.

The great demon of Tzeentch roared and released all his magic power. Under the waving of the staff with the evil book, portals and demons appeared one after another around the mortal army.

The camps of Slaanesh and Nurgle also felt the pressure of survival and stopped paddling. Countless purple demons, led by the great demon of Slaanesh, released noises and illusions that made people lose their minds and attacked the mortals.

Nurgle's darling no longer chuckled. He clumsily waved his branch-like staff with his short and thick hands. The green plague cloud and the looming Nurgle spirits and Nurgle beasts in it drifted towards the end of the valley with the help of the wind.

The demons were dancing wildly, the shouts of Khorne demons and the groans of Slaanesh demons, the hoarseness of Tzeentch demons and the whispers of Nurgle demons filled the space in the second half of the valley.

Under the overwhelming offensive, some of the weak-willed soldiers of the mortal legion could no longer maintain their will. Their collapsed souls were instantly swept away by the surging waves of the subspace. Before their empty bodies could mutate and corrupt, they were mercilessly executed by the political commissars around them.

At this moment, all the soldiers who were silently defending the front line, the officers who were ready to command at the trench nodes, and the decision-makers in the rear command center all looked at the oncoming demon tide.

The troops had been replenished and rested, but the opponent had also put all their chips on the gambling table.

The last reserve troops were used up, and they should have exchanged positions with the frontline troops. The broken organization and the wounded did not retreat to the rear, but chose to reorganize on the spot at the call of the soldiers to participate in the next battle.

They all knew clearly that this was the decisive battle.

The power of war and blasphemy surged violently in the ocean of ether, and the rationality of order and the distortion of chaos were clearly distinguished at this moment, and the strength was also clearly distinguished.

As the balance of destiny swayed, the evil god's eyes began to look here. Amidst the countless prayers, the golden figure on the distant Terra also woke up from his sleep, and his deep eyes also looked at the distant Storm Star Region.

This is a corner of the countless chess games that are being played or have been played between them in the long river of time, but it is also a powerful counterattack and unyielding cry of the overall will of mankind against the evil god's tentacles.

"Blood for the blood god! Skull for the skull throne!" (Blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice to the skull throne!)

"For the emperor!!!" (For the emperor!)

The war started when the blood tide reached the front line, and it reached its climax in an instant!

The shouts of mortals resounded weakly but firmly throughout the front line in the overwhelming roar of the blood god!

The soldiers in the front row did not care about the cooling of the hell gun. After putting on the bayonet, they directly adjusted the speed machine to the automatic shooting gear. They did not need to worry about shooting empty with their eyes closed!

Like the hot melt weapons, the hot line volley guns output firepower at full strength against the backdrop of the energy cooling ducts that turned red in a short time.

When the spare barrels also turned red, they pulled out their pistols and began to walk towards the front-line infantry positions!

Bullets! Grenade! Bayonet! Teeth! This is their armed sequence!

Countless demons fell under these hateful shots, but more demons pushed them away impatiently and continued to charge before the former fell!

The Hydra anti-aircraft tanks roared angrily, and the screamer demons that covered the sky completely released the tyranny in the machine soul!

The heavy artillery regiment no longer hid its deployment position, and the ammunition was all used up when they received the last order!

But it was still difficult to stop the tide of demons. After all, in a hurry, even the Lord of Khorne had brought his brass guards to the front of the front line to open a path for the demon army.

The demons fought so hard, and the mortals were no less.

When the last order was passed on, the veterans in the headquarters who were over fifty years old were also packing their weapons. They also wanted to die in a glorious charge at the last moment, rather than being captured shamefully.

The shouts and screams three kilometers away were getting closer and closer. They needed to catch up with the sacrificed children before their comrades were far away.

The guards were helping these old men who had been away from the battlefield for a long time to organize their equipment. They also believed that under the Emperor's seat, they still needed the guidance of these veterans.

Just as these veterans were packing up and preparing to rush to the front line with the legion's direct guards, the lead-gray tent was pulled open by a silver hand.

The Grey Knights, who had just fought their way through the flank of the demon tide and arrived in the surprised eyes of countless demons, also arrived here.

"Who is the highest person in charge!" Calvin wiped the demon blood on his face and asked in a deep voice amid many incredible eyes.
