Chapter 250 Storm's Attack and Defense (3)

From the macroscopic perspective of the entire space station, the upper and lower floors of this building are composed of huge metal cross structures.

And in this narrow range with a straight line distance of less than ten kilometers, dozens of Astartes teams are fighting everywhere.

With the double attack from both inside and outside, most of the main body of the space station has been lost;

The main force of the orc defenders was divided into pieces of nodes, and then the Astartes warriors of the team led the subsequent landing troops to strangle them in the cold cabins and corridors.

After completing the strike mission, a large number of Astartes began to rush to the connecting channel between the two star fortresses.

The Grey Knights began to gather in the direction of Calvin. The large-scale jump-type combat combined with the frontal attack combat mode has already taken shape after many cooperations between the two sides.

These Astartes from different war groups finally began to accept the existence of this new Astartes who joined in the legion mode in battle after battle.

This is a more direct assault force than the Raven Guard and the White Scars on the battlefield. Their clean and neat entry and large-scale transfer capabilities amaze the onlookers;

This is also a balanced tactical group comparable to the Luna Wolves in terms of tactical diversity and equipment arrogance.

In the context that the Sky Punishment Dread Knights have not yet had an improved model for the battlefield, the value and characteristics embodied by the Grey Knights in this offensive battle have already impressed the brother troops participating in the battle.

They have not had the opportunity to spend a long time with these gray brothers, but just from the silent and efficient tactical style of these Grey Knights, they have already won the appreciation of three foreign war groups.

"Efficient strikes, excellent tactical synchronization! Devout faith! Well, there are just too many psykers..."

This is the private evaluation of these Grey Knights by Hobbs Horabs, the marshal of a Black Templar expeditionary force with an unknown number and organization.

On the way to their normal expeditionary duties, they passed through Orpheus and learned about the great recovery war that was unfolding here.

The recovery of two star regions!

One is preparing, the other is almost done!

What a great and glorious cause! What a precious loyalty to the Emperor!

No doubt, Hobbes followed!

So this fully staffed Astartes Chapter that theoretically meets the standards of the Holy Scripture.

As a matter of course, a few days later, wearing the vests of their parent group, began to contact the Orpheus sector.

They loudly declared that they were from the Astartes Chapter officially registered by the Empire.

And they are the Sons of Dorne with a long history and glory, originating from the Second Founding of the Army.

Well, given their reputation, Calvin actually knew where they came from after seeing their familiar Crusader logo.

He expressed a reserved welcome to these uninvited guests and confirmed their identities in a procedural manner.

Yes, it can only be procedural.

After all, the tricks of this group of Astartes are well known to the top leaders of the Empire;

It is not the first or second time that N IP addresses log in to one account at the same time, and the Empire is in a state of semi-acquiescence to their behavior.

As for their claim that the Black Templars that appeared in other star regions at the same time were fake, Calvin smiled and agreed, thinking it was all bullshit.

The Slanderers and the Angels of the Dead also had a high opinion of the Grey Knights, and Calvin also expressed enough respect for these two chapters.

According to the time of participating in the war, these two chapters were the first batch of Astartes to arrive in Orpheus;

And from the fact that the Angels of the Dead had moved their home planet to Orpheus, they were the hosts here.

The two chapters were grateful for Calvin's help in the recovery of Lyak. Many of their brothers were found one by one from the occupied areas after Lyak was recovered.

Although Calvin came from the Inquisition, he did not express obvious control and suppression intentions, which made these chapters that were simply loyal to the Empire feel a lot more relaxed.

They are a warband that operates in full compliance with the spirit of the Holy Code. From their perspective as pure soldiers:

Whether it is the common desire for control of the Inquisition or the cliques and selfishness of the Astartes, they do not appreciate the style of behavior.

Calvin has never given them such a misunderstanding. In fact, in order to avoid suspicion, he has not had any formal contact with them since sending the two veterans back to their respective warbands.

These two warbands rarely participate in such large-scale operations, but they have expressed enough respect for the tactical completion and strong personal qualities of the Grey Knights after the start of the campaign.

In fact, their three warbands have long known about the existence of the Grey Knights;

But it is a brand new experience to cooperate with these famous mysterious forces.

Different from their past inherent impressions, this special Astartes in front of them did not completely hand over the dominance of affairs to the mortal Inquisition bureaucrats as the legend said;

These Grey Knights obviously have enough autonomy, and even after Calvin appeared, they are leading the work of the Inquisition here as a leader.

"Greyhound..."

This malicious and indecent name that has been circulated among the Astartes for a long time is completely different from what they saw;

If there is a chance, the three chapters after this battle will not mind giving this friendly army that is accustomed to silence a good name.

In short, the Grey Knights (the size of the legion has not yet been revealed to the friendly forces) has successfully established a preliminary new image among the Astartes of the Empire with their strong strength and unique charm.

In the eyes of the friendly forces, this legion may still have the shortcomings of being too silent and too mysterious;

But this is exactly what Calvin, who never wanted to show the Grey Knights to the entire empire, wants to see.

The battle for the space station has been won.

The second batch of Mechanicus personnel who landed have arrived.

Under the deliberate cover of large warships, the energy and shield systems of this space station are being urgently repaired and inspected.

The weapon array on its outer side, which was originally aimed at the large fleet, is also out of the orcs' field of vision and slowly begins to aim at other defense systems of Strom.

The landing troops on the outer side of the orbit finally have the first tactical fulcrum.

Several Astartes battle barges used void shields to resist the anti-aircraft artillery fire on the flanks, and began to rely on the firepower gap here to launch new attacks and raids on the center of the defense system.

Large groups of macro cannons and light spears began to "baptize" the central Remiras-class star fortress in order to destroy the opponent's close-range air defense capabilities as much as possible.

The armor belts and turrets on the star fortress fell silent after being subjected to saturation firepower.

With the large flight deck on the battle barge, the fighter group was carrying out the last close-in bombing.

When the fighter positions on the deck were vacated, the torpedo shooting holes that matched them were also collectively opened:

The landing craft and landing torpedoes loaded with a large number of Astartes warriors began to be collectively released from the bottom of the battle barge.

From the perspective of the battlefield, the changes here are minimal, but for those who pay attention to this place, every tiny change here is like the black rain in front of them, representing countless bravery and sacrifice, loyalty and death...

Another black rain representing death, once again covering the star fortress;

Another bloody and tragic street battle in the interstellar era is about to start on the orbital defense core of Storm.
