Chapter 199 6, Doom: "Who Cares About the Ridicule of Little Bread?"
The densely packed airdrop capsules pierced through the dark gray clouds above the battlefield of the Ducas world like countless fire meteors. In the eyes of the nearly desperate loyalist warriors, this spectacular scene was incomparable to any beautiful scenery in the galaxy.
"God Emperor, thank you for sending angels to this poor world!" The fire from the friction between the airdrop field and the atmosphere reflected the redness of Moti's face. This Imperial Navy Vice Admiral, who was determined to die, couldn't help shouting at this moment, no longer as calm as before.
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of explosions, the landing troops of the Second Legion descended on the ground battlefield of the Ducas world.
Indifferent and silent, the Krieg Death Corps in black and green uniforms surged out of the airborne container like a tide of destruction.
Huge war machines descended with them.
The cold soldiers said nothing, like the most efficient killing weapons.
In the sky, the whistling sound was endless, and dense fire-wing fighters opened the way for the ground legion.
Balls of flames rose up one after another, and the dense explosions instantly submerged the rebellious soldiers and cultists.
The Doom Slayers descended on the most dangerous position on the battlefield. These upgraded Primaris Space Marines transformed into more terrifying war machines in the war with demons.
Even the fallen warriors of the Chaos Warband could hardly last a round in their hands.
Whether it was the Chaos wizards or the self-proclaimed powerful Great Demons, they were quickly defeated like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves in front of the array assembled by the Doom Slayers.
The Chaos front was penetrated one after another, and the Empire conquered their lost land at a very fast speed.
"Oh my God, if this is a beautiful dream, I wish I would never wake up." Moti looked at the battlefield through the reconnaissance equipment and exclaimed in disbelief.
In the image displayed on the screen, this legion with black and green as the main colors rushed against the minions of Chaos with unstoppable momentum. Those who faced their blades, whether cultists or human rebels, would be turned into powder all over the ground in a very short time.
He was extremely shocked by the strength of this heavenly army.
However, there was one thing that puzzled him.
When this legion faced the Chaos minions that were defeated on the battlefield, they would not completely execute these heretics, but would imprison all the heretics in iron cages engraved with runes.
The commander-in-chief of this demon army also received information about the space battle at this moment.
When he learned that he had lost more than 70% of the Chaos fleet as soon as the enemy appeared, he also showed mixed emotions of shock and anger.
He couldn't believe it.
The Black Expedition had been carried out so many times and fought for so many years, why was there such a powerful navy in the Empire?
The commander of the Black Legion who captured the world of Ducas this time was the general personally selected by Abaddon, the Seed of Hell, Sexus.
In previous battles, the Seed of Hell would plunder every bit of resources from the conquered planets and drain every drop of blood from the defeated. He is Abaddon's admiral and the leader of the Khorne Warrior Legion "Abaddon Hounds".
In his eyes, the soldiers of the Empire were so weak that they could harvest a large number of lives with just a wave of their weapons.
The setback in the battle ignited endless anger in the heart of this proud Chaos general.
Unfortunately, this admiral of the Black Legion knew very little about the newly restored Second Legion.
Perhaps he had heard of Duker's war deeds, but he didn't know that Dum's reputation was overshadowed by the glory of the Primarch.
If he knew how many terrifying demons died tragically at Dum's hands, perhaps he should not be angry at this time, but should run away directly.
Unfortunately, the glory of the Primarch overshadowed the brilliance of his descendants.
In the eyes of the Seed of Hell at this moment, if Duker did not appear on the battlefield, then this young Second Legion would not be a threat.
In order to save the situation on the ground battlefield, the Seed of Hell issued an order that the Demon Alliance gave up the encirclement and suppression of the local Empire soldiers and mobilized the main force to face the black and green soldiers who were airborne.
The arrival of the Second Legion brought new inspiration to the commander and gave him the idea of siege and reinforcement.
He planned to turn the world of Dicas into the graveyard of the empire, and use its special location to attract reinforcements from the empire, so as to tear off more flesh and blood from the empire.
But soon, the Seed of Hell discovered his stupidity.
The fire-wing fighter flew over at low altitude, and the firepower instantly made a hideous gap in the defense line of the demon coalition.
A large number of Gothic-style building ruins were shrouded in blazing flames.
On this battlefield where the empire once bled, the blasphemous blood of the demons also soaked the mud.
The Doom Slayers formed the front arrows, and under their joint charge with the Krieg soldiers, the demon coalition of the Seed of Hell could not even organize an effective resistance.
The demon army was defeated at a very fast speed.
The roaring artillery fire fell like raindrops, and then there was a thunderous explosion on the ground, and the red flames rolled back, purifying the uncleanness of the world of Dicas.
The battleships' orbital guns bombarded the places where Chaos followers gathered, turning them into forbidden areas for life in an instant.
Whenever a gap was gnawed in the Chaos defense line, the soldiers of the Doom Slayer and the Krieg Death Legion would rush in and quickly tear the gap apart.
Those demon engines that represented blood and terror were trampled under the iron boots of the Space Marines.
Some were destroyed in the red flames before they even had time to launch an attack.
The torn gap quickly enlarged, and eventually the entire defense line collapsed completely.
"This is impossible!" The hell seed roared angrily.
When he learned that the imperial fleet had come to reinforce Dicas, he even felt joyful in his heart.
His demon coalition is backed by the Eye of Terror. As long as the war lasts longer, it will be able to continuously obtain supplies from the demon world.
The Imperial Legion, on the other hand, had come a long way and had just passed through an extremely dangerous subspace storm, showing signs of fatigue.
Under such circumstances, how could they lose.
But when he climbed to the high point of the fortress and overlooked the entire battle from this position, he saw the proud Imperial warrior crushing the spine of the Khorne Berserker with one kick and locking the demon into a cage. He saw the Doom Slayer in black and green paint, tearing apart the huge demon engine with his bare hands.
As he saw these incomprehensible sights, he tasted panic for the first time in his life.
The terror of this legion far exceeded his expectations.
In the face of the absolute disparity in strength, his orders had almost no effect.
When he mobilized combat troops to reinforce the front line that was on the verge of collapse, the demons on the front line were already defeated before the combat troops even reached the designated coordinates.
And that's not all.
Having lost their air supremacy and anti-aircraft weapons, they could only watch as countless airborne pods high in the sky smashed the ground into dense depressions like a grand meteor shower.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and a large mechanical army were quickly brought to the battlefield by transport aircraft.
Those heavy fire weapons poured onto the ground, and the earth shook like thunder.
The moment these heavy firepowers were brought to the battlefield, they began their killing mission. The upgraded heavy firepower weapons could cause even more horrific damage to the legion array than the demon engines.
The cannon barrel, which was larger than the building, was aimed at the place where chaos gathered. Every time the barrel roared, the entire battlefield was filled with red flames.
The loyal soldiers poured out their fury against the minions of Chaos.
Krieg soldiers, fearless of death, charge together with the Doom Slayer.
A large number of plague zombies rushed towards them from the flanks, but were killed by these cold warriors one after another.
At the very beginning of the war, the cultists corrupted by Chaos expressed their disdain for this regiment. The mortal soldiers who despise these weak and helpless soldiers can only rely on their lives to offer their foolish loyalty to the cursed ones.
But now, they paid the price for their previous slight, and when their backs were broken by Krieg's soldiers, their former pride was gone.
The chaotic coalition was completely suppressed, and Doom walked out of the red flames.
Imperial Lieutenant General Moti saw this warrior bathed in demon blood and stepping out of the flames in the fortress.
At this moment, he even had the urge to cry.
As in many myths, in a world in despair, the Emperor sent his angels to overthrow the demonic offensive.
"Son of Dukel!"
Abaddon's personally chosen general, the Demon Seed, saw Doom walking out of the Empire's battle ranks, his eyes overflowing with deep malice.
The cultists have piled up blasphemous magic circles in the devil's fortress. With the protection of this magic circle, his power can be greatly enhanced.
A Space Marine who has not been transformed by Primaris cannot survive a single turn in his hands.
With this power, even at this moment, he still did not think that Doom would be his opponent. He absorbed the power of the magic circle and waited for Doum to walk into the trap he had laid in advance.
Soon, as he expected, Doom led the Doom Slayers in a final charge.
This is a decisive battle, and the victorious party will gain ownership of this world.
The Hellspawn holds a spiked chain in his hand, hiding in the shadows of the ruins, waiting for Doom to step into his attack range.
When he delivers a fatal blow, and with the blessing of great power, kills the leading warrior, the war situation will be reversed.
By that time, even if the war in this world fails, he can use his own ability to attack Doom, and after returning to the subspace, he can still receive rewards from the gods.
Everything was as he expected, Doom walked into his ambush range unsuspectingly, which made his heart more excited, and his eyes were filled with murderous blood.
"Humble mortal, your death has come!" The hell seed jumped out from the shadows and hit the warrior hard with the chain in his hand.
But it was just one blow.
With the roar of the double-barreled shotgun, the demon chain in his hand was completely shattered, and even the demon inside was killed.
When the hell seed saw this, he was stunned for a moment.
He couldn't understand the scene in front of him. The powerful weapon of the host demon could not block even one of the opponent's attacks.
But the wail of the devil in my ears was so real.
Just when he was distracted, Doom's actions did not slow down at all. He grabbed the head of the hell seed and smashed it against the ruins on the side again and again.
Under his continuous beatings, the general chosen by Abaddon had most of his bones broken, and he no longer had the ability to resist.
“Another great ingredient.”
The hell seed, who fell on the ground with all his limbs twisted, suddenly heard a delighted whisper from the Doom Slayer's mouth.
He couldn't understand what "raw materials" meant, and naturally thought that it was a humiliation given to him by the other party.
"Servant of the false emperor, I admit your bravery, but you are too happy too early. Even if you take back the world of Dicas, you still can't stop the expansion of chaos." The face of the Seed of Hell showed a hideous smile, with endless ridicule,
"The array of chaos has been built, and the Eye of Destruction is destined to expand again!"
The Seed of Hell laughed wildly. His biggest goal in this war was not to conquer the world of Dicas, but to build a chaos array and expand the scope of the Eye of Terror.
Even if this world was taken back by the Empire, would the Empire occupy a world inside the Eye of Terror in the future?
"I really don't understand the chaos array of this world." Doom replied in a serious manner.
The Doom Slayer did not get angry because of the demon's ridicule. After all, in his opinion, demons are just consumables that provide nutrients for humans, and they are not much different from food.
Even if they are a little ugly, they are still food. No one will care about the ridicule of a small piece of bread when eating.
"But there is only one thing I can be sure of." He continued to answer seriously, "The operation of any magic circle is inseparable from the charging of the subspace. As long as the connection between them is blocked, the magic circle will collapse on its own."
The Seed of Hell seemed to have heard something extremely absurd, "Hahaha, warrior, admit it, you have no way out and are destined to fail. This place is so close to the Eye of Terror, how could it be possible..."
The Seed of Hell laughed loudly, but before he could finish his words, his smile gradually solidified.
He saw that every soldier, whether it was thousands of Doom Slayers or hundreds of thousands of Krieg soldiers, each of them had a strange force field visible to the naked eye.
The force field dispelled the chaotic aura, and ripples appeared layer by layer in the air. In the end, these force fields gathered together, with each soldier as a node, to build a huge matrix that could wrap the entire world.
"This is impossible! How could everyone of you master such technology!"
The Seed of Hell roared, his tone was full of madness that he was unwilling to accept reality.
This is not in line with common sense. If every imperial soldier mastered such technology, how could Cadia fall, and how could Abaddon's dark expedition win again and again?
Doom did not answer his question.
Because a Krieg team came over with an iron cage engraved with runes.
Thinking that the other party would soon become the raw material of the Argent factory, Doom was in no mood to chat with food.
"Your Majesty, we won!"
When the war was settled, Vice Admiral Meti, who was holding on to this world, walked out of the castle, and with him came the surviving Weepers.
They took off their helmets, and everyone showed a bloody smile on their faces.
"Battle brother, thank you for your rescue." The captain of the Weepers came out and expressed his gratitude to Doom with elegant etiquette.
"I didn't know that there were such powerful warriors as you in the empire." He said apologetically.
The Weepers have been isolated in this world by the warp storm for several years.
They had never heard of either Dukel or Sanguinius.
"We are from the Second Legion," Doom replied, "We are the descendants of Dukel, the Lord of the Second Legion, the King of Destruction, and the Supreme War Marshal of the Empire."
When he mentioned this name, Doom's face was filled with genuine pride.
While they were talking, the Krieg soldiers silently began to clear the battlefield.
Only in the intervals between their actions, these soldiers, known for their cruelty and indifference, would occasionally look up and look at the Doom Slayers who stood proudly in the world.
They were very glad that they were born in Krieg, because only soldiers of this legion could become one of those proud warriors.
A glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes, hoping that one day, their own figures could also appear among those warriors.
"Brother." A Doom Slayer walked towards Doom, "What is our next move?"
He asked.
"Rest in this world for a day, and then go to the next rescue coordinate." Doom replied.
After hearing this arrangement, Moti on the side showed reluctance.
Having just conquered this world, one day is called a rest, but in fact it is only enough for them to clean up the battlefield.
The eyes of the Vice Admiral of the Imperial Navy were filled with sadness. What kind of desperate situation made these noble warriors dare not rest for even a moment.
But the Doom Slayer had a completely different mood after hearing this.
"Really? No need to return to the factory immediately, but continue the rescue mission?!" He said happily, "It's really rare that my father gave us so much time."
"Yes, it's a rare leisure time." Thinking back to the work on the assembly line, Dum's face also showed a smile,
"Father plans to expand the output of Argent weapons and expand the establishment of the Doom Slayer. To achieve this goal, our factory needs to swallow hundreds of millions of demons every day. This is why he allowed us to come out."
He patted the other's shoulder, "Enjoy this time, brother, even if our mission is not easy."
Then Dum looked at Moti on the side and said,
"We will leave three thousand technicians in this world."
"——Because the Second Army needs to build a factory here."
Mo Ti, who was unable to understand the conversation between the two Destroyers, could not help but exclaimed at this moment,
"Here? Sir, this place is very close to the Eye of Terror."
