Chapter 78 The Stalemate Continues, the Blackhearted King Launches Orbital Bombardment, Scar
Chapter 78: The stalemate continues, the Blackheart King launches orbital bombardment, the ending of the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment...
What is fear, what is morale, for the Space Marines, those things should not be considered, but now they have become fatal problems. Their former courage has vanished in the haze of the dense forest. The ancient Terrans called the state of the Chaos Space Marines like this.
The mortals of the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment are destined to use the rest of their lives to keep Chaos out of the dense forest, so that they cannot leave their camp. When any cubic meter outside the wall is full of danger, even for the Space Marines, the nature of the matter has changed.
They have less than a hundred people, while the Astra Militarum has tens of thousands of people. Even if the team can kill a hundred forest warriors at a time, the death of a brother is a loss of war, and they cannot consume it.
The powerful Space Marines were actually surrounded by mortals and could not move. When the Space Marines were given power by the Emperor, they probably had never suffered such humiliation.
The Supermen realized how close death was to them. If they were loyal Space Marines, they could muster up courage, but if they were Chaos Space Marines, they would be greedy for power and fun, and the flames of resistance would need to be instantly extinguished by the volleys of the veterans in the dark.
But was victory so close to the Astra Militarum? Without long-range artillery strikes, orbital advantages, and Imperial Navy assistance, the loyal Skadi 4th Infantry Regiment could not advance and destroy the enemy.
The huge losses could not kill the Chaos traitors. Even if the veterans were extremely eager for victory and the death of the traitors, Alanbair would never dare to gamble on victory with the Emperor's currency again.
If the Blackheart King dared not deploy troops in that world again, and let his already stretched remnants be destroyed in that world, he should not have bothered the soldiers. If Ming gave the Blackheart King only two choices...
Retreat and bombing
Alanbair wanted it, and the Blackheart King wanted it too. Destroy the disgusting traitor warship Ghost. The Tyrant's Claw was trembling. He felt his brothers die, and their souls were shaking in the warp.
The mortals there exceeded his expectations again. Was it because of the forest or the will of that world helping them, or the so-called God Emperor?
Huron could not understand where the power of those Imperial Guards came from, but his rich tactical experience told him that if he wanted to occupy that world, he should be dead.
"How are the light spears and cannons?"
Valtex, the dimensional blacksmith, answered his master respectfully. "You can launch it anytime and anywhere, my Lord."
The Blackheart King thought about the endless, graceful forests he saw from the auspicious instrument detection and the optical detector. The environment there was very similar to Terra, almost the same, except that the strange magnetic field and the density of the forest made that world worse. It was one of the few gems in the galaxy. He didn't want to scratch it with a chisel, but the will of that world was against him all the time.
Can she feel that the malice is not equal to all life? Huron is not sure, but the light spear and the giant cannon are enough to turn the continent of that world into scorched earth. "Overload the void shield, withstand the enemy's anti-orbital bombardment, and enter the low-Earth orbit."
Valtex answered without hesitation. "No, my Lord."
Huron continued. "Start the remaining two Land Raiders, deploy them by airdrop according to the target, contact the ground forces, and conduct a cleanup operation after the bombing is over."
"The gods of the warp are here, and that world will definitely become theirs..."
The body of the Destruction Ghost gradually moved eastward. The huge hull made of adamantium, ceramite, and adamantium could even be seen from the ground with the naked eye. The orbital bombardment made it tilt in the void, but the Astra Militarum on that world knew nothing about it.
The fierce artillery fire raised smoke as high as 30 meters. The light spear could directly carbonize the liquid into crystals. Such attacks fell like raindrops, rushing through the forest. Ailanbaier felt the hot wind on his face. Was that the wailing of that world?
They maintained the magnetic field stability due to the orbital bombardment, and also allowed Ailanbaier to contact the city of Kalu, which was dozens of kilometers away from the source.
He ordered to the city of Kalu.
"He has ordered all the PDFs in Kalu City in the name of Lieutenant Colonel of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Kadis, Minister of the Ministry of Justice of Gondeva VI, and Chief of Staff of PDF!"
"Get the TM anti-orbital light spear ready! The Emperor is here, and those traitors can't afford to play anymore!"
A fierce counterattack broke out in the center of Kalu City. The Bordello, which could barely fire in the air above the starport, also sprayed flames, and the firepower hit the void shield, creating a shocking wave.
The Blackheart King felt a violent tremor, and he was arrogant. "Ground troops, rely on the ground cleared by the light spear to move forward and clear the enemy!"
The light spear turned the forest vehicles beyond the range of mortals into a crystal plain, and cut the emerald green skin of Gondeva VI like a sharp blade, revealing the wound on the east side, a wound like a pure red quartz.
The Chaos Space Marines were in good order, relying on the Land Raider, a crawling tracked armored vehicle with almost impenetrable armor, two twin-mounted incendiary ray cannons and multi-barreled meltas as the main gun. While having powerful firepower, it could also be used as a cover to move forward, adapting to the terrible surface environment of many worlds. The scarlet paint and the logo of the Red Corsair, the heads and flesh of mortals, made the disloyal thing look extra disgusting.
Those two Chaos Space Marine variants, Rand's clearly modified for ground invasion and anti-infantry suppression, were shaped from birth to slaughter their fellow humans. The disgusting traitor machine spirit let out a terrible roar and stepped across. ground.
Veengar was very satisfied with those two terrible things. The forest that hindered their progress was even more dissipated. The spears of light were shining on the ground, the cannons opened the way for them, the war burned the world, and countless creatures died.
The moist hot wind turned into the smell of coke, the green forest vehicles turned into scorched earth, the roar of the Land Raider's engine made people tremble even more, and the Astra Militarum's spy in the forest was just a sentence on the radio.
"Two traitor vehicles!" They disappeared in the east of the vaporizing light spear, and their souls returned to the throne.
retreat? How to retreat? Can my human legs outrun a light spear?
Fight back? How to fight back? The void shield of the Chaos warship can last for who knows how long, but it only takes a few minutes for the forest to be burned down to the ground.
But allowing the notorious Red Pirates to use such tactics, the Skadi 4th Infantry Regiment was defeated with honor.
When the scorching light spears strafed the land and the heavy steps of the Chaos Space Marines passed through the territory that once belonged to the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment, Alan Bair was completely helpless.
He walked on the ground, watching the light beam like divine punishment gradually approaching. It was heroic, beautiful, and indescribably beautiful. It took people 40,000 years to make such a thing and kill it. other people.
From the primitive man who picked up the first polished rock in the Stone Age, to bronzes, irons, flintlocks, muskets, automatic guns, iron, gold, lead bullets, black powder, to the Ming promethium, ceramic steel , Monomolecular, Destruction Stand and Light Spear.
People have changed but have not changed. Alan Bair sighed inwardly, but he was still the commander of the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment and a soldier of the emperor. He stood up and faced all the loyalists.
"They lost, but they did not lose to the traitors, but to that dark universe. Although that world was helping them, the God Emperor was helping them, Karu City and hundreds of millions of people of the empire were helping them."
"But in that damn world, in that endless void, everyone is an enemy of the Empire. Leave the orcs, and then come the traitors. What comes after the traitors, Eldar pirates? Tau merchants?"
"He must admit that they cannot achieve complete victory, everything is unpredictable, and the Emperor's protection allows them to go until tomorrow. Otherwise, he will feel uncomfortable if that beautiful world is handed over to the Chaos traitors who do not cherish her at all. ”
"If his legs and arms touch the battleship in the void, even if his firearms are useless, he will fire without hesitation, if his death can bring the death of the empire's enemies."
"But they have not completely failed. Karu City is not without defense forces. Even if there is no Fourth Skadi Regiment in that world, there will be the Fifth Regiment, the 72nd Regiment, the 237th Regiment, and countless descendants of the Emperor will drive away those Group of things.”
"Then everyone, open your backpacks. There is no need to leave any supplies behind. The light spear will be burned in a few minutes. Remember to eat quickly."
"Brothers, veterans, do we remember to leave letters to our families? Remember to tell them how to distribute their inheritance? Don't ask them to starve. We also hope that the emperor can allow the Ministry of Government to truthfully distribute the rations to the children of the martyrs."
"Wrong, he doesn't want us to be a war couple. Zhongsi Academy is actually not a good place. The staff can use it as a reference."
As soon as Alan Bayer walked eastward, there were a few Chimera armored vehicles left in the fourth regiment. After all, the ground was full of dead branches and leaves, so it was pretty clean there.
The staff officer walked next to Alan Bair and nodded to the soldiers. "He admitted that the place was terrible."
John Deen came over, waving his legs and saying dissatisfiedly. "Ah, boss, it feels so bad to lose like that. He would rather be shot by the orcs. It's so hard to eat the canned food without adding some meat."
Alan Bair cursed. "It's good to have meat. If you complain so much, you won't be so talkative when you see me eating starch!"
John Dehn replied. "Boss, he can't help but wonder if this is his last meal..."
The ensign listened and complained. "So what, he probably won't live to be 25 in the hive city, but he will be 26 next year, ha, he is very rich, he has made money, Mr. Planetary Governor, forgive his rudeness, you have got too much, You can’t let go!”
John Dehn nodded. "No, his wife, his world, his factory, his political achievements, there are many good and bad things like Chengdong."
The staff officer also said. "His travels to Terra, his trade in Valhalla, and his work with Kane's advisor must also come to an end..."
"Emperor, he shouldn't write a retirement application..."
Alan Bair suddenly lost his position. "Ugh, how long have we been dragging those bastards out there?"
John Dehn replied. "According to his memory, half a year, right? That means it starts from about two months to a month after the Lieutenant General left."
Alan Bayer said again. "How many traitors have they killed?"
The staff officer replied. "124 people, not counting those loyal former servants, Space Marines, 124 people, enough for each of their officers to get a Star of Terra badge."
"Haha, I couldn't get it when I asked for it before. Ruming, my legs are weak when I take it!"
Alan asked again. "How many brothers they left behind."
the lieutenant replied. "Twenty thousand people, to be precise, twenty-four thousand people. Basically all of them are recruits, or his colleagues in Skadi PDF, although they are not residents of a hive city."
"In less than half a year, two-thirds of it has left. He is very lucky to think so!"
Alan Bair will say it again. "So did they lose?"
The three of them answered in unison. "If you lose my MB, you will become the emperor!" They raised the military kettles in their legs, and if there was no alcohol in them, they took a swig.
It seemed that they were not walking in front of the Chimera, nor were there fierce spear bombardments next to them, but in the tavern in the hive, a group of officers complained about the miserable fighting situation.
But if they can be considered in dire straits, then the empire probably doesn't have real troops anymore.
The spear of light was gradually approaching, but the fourth regiment seemed to be having a drinking party. They had always regarded death as home, so why not replace them with the enemy, making the soldiers feel unhappy.
If there was any hope, they would make those Chaos traitors tremble in fear!
In the first moments of the burning light, the loyalists of the Empire raised their glasses and sang hymns to the Emperor. "If his heart is filled with oil, his soul will surely return to the void. You are good, you are beautiful, you shine on all the worlds, thousands of people in the empire, and billions of human souls."
'The light is always there, may the throne be immortal, and may evil be broken. If you wake up in the first month, the traitors will die in shame, the demons and gods will be afraid, and the loyal ones will live forever! "
"No, Emperor! No, Empire!"
In the East of Light, the initial singing ended, and the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment returned to the throne...
?
In the first second, the intense bombardment penetrated the void shield of the Ghost of Destruction, and several void torpedoes hit the weapon system of the Chaos battleship, almost smashing the battleship in low earth orbit into the gravity of the planet.
King Blackheart shouted. "Full speed climb!"
Then ask. "Who attacked?!"
Dimensional blacksmith Valtex shouted. "His master, two Cobra-class Imperial destroyers hit the other ship's weapons with torpedoes, and the light spear array on the right side facing the ground was paralyzed!"
The Black-Hearted King slapped the blacksmith away and turned on the auspicious instrument himself. He looked at the data on the screen.
"The Imperial Moon-class strike cruiser, two destroyers...why did the Imperial Navy discover them?"
"Inform the ground troops to retreat. The Destruction Ghost starts the subspace engine. When the ground troops return, they will force an emergency subspace jump!"
The dimensional blacksmith said incredulously. "Sir, even if they don't, they still won't be able to stabilize in the chaotic flow of subspace. If they are unlucky, what awaits them will be death in subspace! Or they will get lost endlessly in it!"
The Black Heart King pinched the Dimensional Blacksmith's throat that was making the annoying sound. "hurry up!"
On the ground, Wengar watched the transport ship land and cursed secretly, because he no longer dared to face the Skadi 4th Infantry Regiment. Even if there was no honor, he still hoped to kill him in that operation. That troop!
And when all the Space Marine brothers were walking on the transport ship, Veengar looked at the emerald green land, and he secretly swore that one day, he would gain the honor he had lost in his mortal life.
The Ruming 4th Infantry Regiment of Skadi looked at each other in confusion. The veterans looked at the recruits, and the recruits looked at the commander. The commander, Alan Beyer, pinched the radio and cursed.
"He attacked me! Why did he come to support me?"
The lieutenant general was holding the radio on the battleship and scolding him back. He had already learned about the great actions of the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment through communications with Karoo City, such as beating the notorious Red Pirates out of ammunition and food.
he cursed. "I'm here, wait! Wait for him to go east and apply for a Terra Star badge for each of our officers. What we are doing is outrageous!"
I really want to eat fried chicken (meaningless muttering)
Ah, commissar, he expressed no opinion, he is serving, my lord!
political commissar:
>Remember: Only heretics have doubts
>A closed heart is a loyal heart. A loyal heart is a happy heart.
