Chapter Seventy-Seven: Stalemate, Blackheart King Initiates Orbital Bombardment, and the End of Skadi's 4th Infantry Regiment...
What is fear, what is morale, for the Space Marines those things that did not need to be considered, but now they have become a deadly problem, their once courage has vanished under the haze of the jungle, the Vietnam War PDTS, the Gutera people call the state of the Chaos Space Marines today.
The mortals of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skady were destined to spend the rest of their lives pushing Chaos out of the dense forest, making it impossible for them to leave their camp even a single step outside the walls, and when any cubic meter outside the walls was full of danger, even for the Space Marines, the nature of the matter changed.
There are less than a hundred of them, and the Astral Army has tens of thousands, even if the group can kill hundreds of forest warriors at once, as long as a brother dies, it is a loss of war, and they can't consume it.
Now the powerful space marines are actually surrounded by mortals and can't move, when the star soldiers are given power by the God Emperor, I am afraid they have not suffered such humiliation.
Supermen realize how close death is to themselves, and if they are loyal Space Marines, they can still muster courage, but Chaos Space Marines only covet power and fun, and the flames of resistance only need the volley of veterans in the shadows to dissipate in an instant.
But is victory close to the Astral Army? Without long-range artillery strikes, without orbital superiority, without the assistance of the Imperial Navy, the loyal 4th Infantry Regiment of Skady could not advance and destroy the enemy.
The great loss could not kill the Chaos traitors, and even though the veterans were desperate for victory and the death of the traitors, Alan Baier would no longer dare to gamble on a victory with the Emperor's currency.
If the Blackheart King didn't dare to deploy troops in this world anymore, and let the already stretched remnants of himself be wiped out in this world, he shouldn't have sent any more soldiers, and now there are only two options left for the Blackheart King...
Retreat and bombing
Alan Bair could have imagined it, and so could the Blackheart King, the tyrant's claws trembling on the disgusting traitorous warship of the Spectre of Destruction, and he felt his brothers die, their souls stirring through the subspace.
The mortals here have exceeded his expectations again and again, is it because of the forest or the will of this world helping them, or the so-called God Emperor?
Huron had no way of understanding the strength of the Imperial Guard, but his tactical experience taught him that if he wanted to take over the world, he should die.
"What is the state of the Light Spear and the Hiroshi Cannon?"
Valtex, the dimensional blacksmith, respectfully replied to its master. "Launch anytime, anywhere, my lord."
The Blackheart King thought about what he had seen from the orniths and optical detectors, the continuous, graceful forest, the environment here was very similar to Terra, almost the same, except that the strange magnetic field and the density of the forest made this world bad, which was one of the few, a gem in the galaxy, he didn't want to use a chisel to cut a scar on it, but the will of this world was against him all the time.
Can she feel malice or does she treat all life equally? Huron couldn't be sure, but the spear of light and the cannon were enough to scorch the continent of this world. "Overload the Void Shield, withstand the enemy's anti-orbital bombardment, and enter low-earth orbit."
Valtex replied without hesitation. "Yes, my lord."
Huron continued. "Activate the remaining two RAND Marauders, deploy them airdrop from the vehicle according to the target, contact the ground forces, and conduct a clean-up operation after the bombardment is over."
"With the gods of the subspace above, this world will definitely become our bag..."
The body of the Wraith of Destruction gradually descended, and the huge hull of the Edman alloy and terracotta steel, the pure gold cast could even be seen with the naked eye from the ground, and the railgun bombardment made it bevel in the void, and the astral army in this world knew nothing.
The fierce cannon fire kicked up a full thirty meters of smoke, and the light spear directly turned a kilometer of carbonization into crystals, and such an attack fell like raindrops, rampage through the forest, Alan Baier felt that the hot wind paved the surface, is that the wail of this world?
The psionic impact that kept the magnetic field stable for the purpose of orbital bombardment also allowed Alan Bair to contact the city of Karui dozens of kilometers away.
He commanded the city of Karui.
"I have commanded all of Karui City in the name of Lieutenant Colonel of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Cadiz, Head of the Justice Department of Gondeva VI, Chief of Staff of PDF!"
"Get the TM Anti-Orbital Light Spear ready! The God Emperor is above, those traitors, they can't afford to play! ”
A fierce counterattack erupted in the center of Careo City, and the Bordero, which could barely fire in the sky above Starport, also spewed flames, and the fire smashed on the Void Shield, creating a terrifying wave.
The Blackheart King felt a violent tremor as he shouted. "Ground troops, rely on the ground cleared by the light spear to move forward and clear the enemy!"
The spear of light turned the forest within mortal range into crystalline plains, like a sharp blade slicing through the emerald green skin of Gondelwa VI, revealing the wound below, a white quartz-like wound.
The Chaos Space Marines are in good order, leaning on the Rand Marauders, the crawling tracked armored vehicles with almost impossible to break through armor, two combined deflagration ray cannons, multi-tube hot melt as the main gun, powerful firepower and can also be used as cover forward, adapting to the terrifying surface environment of many worlds, the scarlet livery and the emblem of the Red Pirates, the heads and flesh of mortals, make this disloyal thing look even more disgusting.
The two RAND were apparently modified for ground invasion and counter-infantry suppression, the Chaos Space Marine variants, which were born to slaughter their fellow citizens, and the disgusting rebellious mechs roared across the ground with a terrifying roar.
Vingar was so pleased with these two terrible things that he had now dissipated the forests that stood in their way, the spears of light shining on the ground, the cannons opening their way, the flames of war scorching the world, and countless living beings dying.
The hot wind damp turned to the smell of coke, the green forest turned to scorched earth, the roar of the Rand raider's engine made people tremble even more, and the astral army's eyeliner in the forest left only a word on the radio.
"Two traitor vehicles!" It dissipated under the spear of light that made people gase, and the soul returned to the throne.
Fall back? How to retreat? Can you outrun a spear with your legs?
Counterattack? How to fight back, the Void Shield of that Chaos Battleship can last for an unknown amount of time, but this forest only takes a few minutes to be burned and there is not a single leaf left.
But to allow the notorious Red Pirates to play such a tactic, the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skadi was still honorably defeated.
As the scorching spear of light swept across the land, and the Chaos Space Marines stepped through the territory that once belonged to the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment, Alan Bair was completely helpless.
He sat on the ground and watched the divine pillar of light draw nearer, magnificent, beautiful, indescribably beautiful death, people spent 40,000 years just to be able to make such a thing, to use it to kill other people.
From the primitive man who picked up the first polished rock in the Stone Age, to bronze, iron, flintlock, smoothbore, automatic gun, iron, gold, buckshot, black powder, to today's promethium, terracotta, monomolecule, destruction stand and light spear.
The people have changed and they haven't changed, Alan Baier sighed inwardly, but he was still the commander of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skady, still a soldier of the Emperor, and he stood up to the loyalists.
"We lost, but we didn't lose to the traitors, but to this dark universe, although this world is helping us, the God Emperor is helping us, Karui City and the hundreds of millions of people of the empire are helping us."
"But in this goddamn world, where the Infinite Void is full of enemies of the Empire, leaving the orcs, traitors again, what is there after the traitors, Spirit Pirates? Or a Titanium Merchant? ”
"I must admit that we can't achieve all the victories, everything is impermanent, the emperor's protection has brought us to where we are today, but I feel uncomfortable that this beautiful world is now handed over to the chaos traitors who can't cherish her at all."
"If my arm touches the battleship in the void, even if my guns are useless, I will fire without hesitation, if my death can be exchanged for the death of the enemies of the Empire."
"But we are not completely defeated, Karui City is not defenseless, even if there is no Skadi Fourth Regiment in this world, there will be a Fifth Regiment, a 72nd Regiment, a 237th Regiment, and countless emperors' heirs will drive away this group of things."
"Then everyone, open your backpack, you don't need to leave those supplies behind, the light spear will burn in a few minutes, remember to eat quickly."
"Brothers, veterans, do you remember to leave letters to your families, remember to tell them how to distribute their inheritance, don't let them starve, and hope that the emperor can make the Ministry of Administration truthfully distribute those rations to the children of the martyrs."
"By the way, I don't want you to be a war couple, the Loyal Heir Academy is actually not a good place to go, and the staff officers can use it as a reference."
Alan Baier sat on the few remaining Chimera armored vehicles of the Fourth Regiment, after all, the ground was full of dead branches and leaves, and only here was relatively clean.
The staff officer sat down next to Alan Baier and nodded to the soldiers. "I'll admit, that place sucks."
John Deen followed, waved his hand, and said dissatisfied. "Ah, Boss, it tastes so bad to lose like this, I'd rather shoot the orcs, and this can is really unpalatable if it is not heated."
Alan Baier scolded. "It's good to have meat, so complain, I usually don't have so many mouths when I eat starch!"
John Deen replied. "Boss, I can't help but think that this is the last meal..."
The second lieutenant listened and complained. "So what, I probably won't live to be 25 in the nest, but I'm 26 this year, ha, I still have meat to eat, I earned it, Lord Planet Governor, forgive me for being unreasonable, you got too much, you can't let it go!"
John Deen nodded. "Yes, my wife, my world, my factory, my political achievements, and all the good and bad things left."
The staff officer also said. "My trip to Terra, the Valhalla traders, and the search for Kane's advisors have to stop..."
"Emperor, I shouldn't have written a retirement application..."
Alan Baier asked you suddenly. "Well, how long have we dragged these bastards here?"
John Deen replied. "According to my memory, half a year, right? That is, two months or about a month after the departure of the lieutenant general. ”
Alan Bair said again. "How many traitors have we killed?"
The staff officer replied. "124 people, not counting those loyal former minions, Space Marines, 124 people, enough for each of our officers to get a Terra Star badge."
"Haha, I couldn't ask for it before, but now, it's soft!"
Alan asked again. "How many brothers have we left."
The second lieutenant replied. "Twenty thousand, twenty-four thousand, to be exact, are basically recruits, and my colleagues at Skadi PDF, although we are not residents of a nest capital."
"In less than half a year, two-thirds of the way out, I'm quite lucky to think about it so much!"
Alan Baier said again. "Did we lose then?"
The three of them answered in unison. "Lose your MB, for the emperor!" They raised the military kettle in their hands, but it was full of wine, and they took a sip.
It was as if they were not sitting on top of the Chimera, nor were they surrounded by a fierce light-spear bombardment, but in a tavern in the hive, a group of officers complained about the unbearable state of the battle.
But if they are also considered to be in a bad state of war, then the empire probably has no real troops.
The light spear gradually approached, but the fourth regiment seemed to be having a drinking party, they had always regarded death as home, but they could not exchange with the enemy, which made the soldiers feel unpleasant.
If there's even the slightest possibility, they're going to make those chaos traitors tremble!
In the final moments of the scorching light, the loyalists of the empire raised their glasses and sang hymns in praise of the emperor. "If my heart has crossed the netherworld, my soul will return to the void, you are good, you are beautiful, you shine on thousands of worlds, thousands of imperial citizens, and hundreds of millions of human souls."
"May the light always be there, may the throne not be extinguished, and the evil will be broken, and if you will wake up one day, and the traitor will die in shame, and the demons and gods will fear, the loyal will be forever!"
"For, Emperor! For the Empire! ”
In the light, the last chant ends, and the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skadi, the soul returns to the throne ...
Is it?
At the last second, a powerful cannon blast pierced through the Void shield of the Wraith, and several Void torpedoes smashed into the Chaos Battleship's weapon system, nearly smashing the low-Earth orbit battleship into the planet's gravity.
The Blackheart King shouted. "Full speed climb!"
Then asked. "Who attacked?!"
Dimensional blacksmith Valtex shouted. "My lord, two Cobra-class Imperial destroyers, hit our ship's weapons with torpedoes, and the light spear array on the right side facing the ground was all paralyzed!"
The Blackheart King patted the blacksmith away and turned on the bird detector himself, and he looked at the data on the screen.
"Imperial moon-class strike cruisers, two destroyers ... Why did the Imperial Navy discover us? ”
"Notify the ground forces, retreat, start the subspace engine on the Spectre of Destruction, and when the ground forces return, we will force an emergency subspace jump!"
The dimensional blacksmith said incredulously. "My lord, even we can't stabilize in the chaotic flow of subspace, and if we are unlucky, what awaits us is death in the subspace! Or get lost in it endlessly! ”
The Blackheart King pinched the throat of the dimensional blacksmith's annoying sound. "Hurry up!"
On the ground, Vingar watched the fall of the transport ship and cursed inwardly, because he no longer dared to face the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skadi, even if there was no honor, he wanted to kill that unit in this operation!
And when all the Space Marines stepped onto the transport, Wyngar looked at the emerald green land, and he secretly vowed that one day, he would reap the honor he had lost to mortals.
And now the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skady looked at each other, the veterans looked at the recruits, the recruits looked at the commander, and the commander Alan Bair pinched the radio and cursed.
"I R you! How do you come to support? ”
The lieutenant general was on the warship and scolded over the radio, and he had learned of the great actions of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skadi through his correspondence with Karui City, such as the depletion of ammunition by the notorious Red Pirates.
He scolded. "Lao Tzu is your boss, wait! Wait for me to go down and apply for a Terra Star badge for each of your officers, you guys are outrageous! ”
I really want to eat fried chicken (meaningless murmuring)
Ah, commissar, I didn't express anything, I'm in the service, my lord!
Commissar:
& amp; gt; Remember: heretics have doubts
& amp; gt; A closed heart is a loyal heart. A loyal heart is a happy heart.
