Chapter 260: Arrival in Baal

The Lady of the Storm arrived in Baal ten minutes later.

Foros stood on the bridge and looked at the galaxy, and found that the situation here was slightly better than that of Hades, the blood-red Baal and his two moons were already surrounded by bugs, and the planet looked as desolate as those of Hades, proving that there might be resistance on it.

The probe wave was released from the Storm Woman, and the status of the three planets Baal, Passo, and Pameda was shown in the bridge.

The scans showed that the number of bugs was still in the hundreds of millions, but the number of humans on the three planets was no longer zero, and there were at least nearly 30,000 space marines and tens of millions of mortal auxiliaries.

These forces are spread across Barr and its two satellites.

The humans of Baal have gathered in a huge defensive structure called the Angel Fortress to defend themselves against the Zerg.

Puzzled, the allies on Baal were under attack, and they were simultaneously facing an all-round attack from the sky, the ground, and the underground.

"Isn't there a Void Shield on Baal?" Tessa asked.

The Void Shield was supposed to stand inside the Angel Fortress on the surface of the planet, at least to withstand attacks from the sky, and it was impossible for a planet like Baal, which was of great symbolic and strategic value, to be without the protection of the Void Shield.

"Presumably a Void Shield." Foros said ambiguously that he didn't know much about Baal and didn't know what the situation was, "but the Void Shield is not impossible to close, maybe the enemy has infiltrated the fortress." ”

As he spoke, the angel fortress detected by the scanning wave was projected on the hologram, which looked three-dimensional and every detail was unobstructed.

Foros and the company commanders gathered around the video to observe.

The Storm Lady is gradually breaking through the encirclement of the biological warships and approaching Baal.

Before the flagship arrives in Baal, the crowd must come up with a suitable battle strategy.

"This is a fortress? I thought it was a city. The company commander exclaimed.

"Of course, this is a fortress monastery." Foros stared at the fortress and nodded slowly.

Due to the loss of the protection of the Void Shield, everyone in the fortress is facing an all-round attack, and the outer walls have gradually fallen away.

The mortal minions of the Blood Angels Warband, known as the Blood Slaves, are surrounded and slaughtered by bugs, and some Space Marines try to rescue them, but instead they are surrounded by swarms.

The façade is clearly untenable.

The Space Marines and the Blood Slaves, who were not on the outer wall, held out for a few more seconds, and suddenly began to retreat in an orderly manner towards the core area of the fortress, apparently ordered by the commander to retreat.

The Zerg were much smarter than expected, and some airdrop bags landed on the widest central road of the fortress in an attempt to intercept those retreating.

"We're teleporting here." Foros pointed to the central road of the fortress, "All but mortals must take part in the battle. ”

The company commanders nodded in unison.

The Weepers have been searching for their lost brothers since they were taken in by the Tyrones, and the warbands are gradually recovering in size, with seven hundred men now strong enough to control the central path.

The strategic value of this road is not particularly great, and it is not impossible to do without it, but if it exists, the armored forces and large mortal minions inside the fortress will be able to quickly retreat from the road, instead of diverting on the path and making a difficult retreat while being slaughtered.

"What should the flagship do?" Tessa asked.

"Immediately after arriving in Baal's orbit, leave a defensive platform on the orbit and hide in dimensional space." Foros glanced at the tens of thousands of bio-warships in the system, and he didn't think the Storm Lady could hold out in the face of these bio-warships.

"Yes." Tessa nodded and turned to carry out Foros's order.

The Storm Maiden's teleporter began to recharge, coming into orbit after killing through the encirclement of the biological battleship.

Five large holes were opened under the hull, and the orbital defense platform was thrown.

This is an experimental feature that has not yet been used on Tyrone Navy ships, and there is no need to do so.

The purpose of the existence of the orbital defense platform is to help the weepers take partial control of the orbit as much as possible when they only have one flagship.

Immediately after being dropped, the five defensive platforms activated their shields while firing a dense fire at the nearby swarms.

A bio-warship approached them against the fire of the defensive platforms, and then fired bio-cannonballs in an attempt to shatter those energy shields.

One platform's energy shield was damaged, but a blue light traveled between each platform and repaired the damaged shield.

The Hive Will realizes that if these platforms are not destroyed in an instant, their energy shields are indestructible. So instead of attacking the defensive platform, the bio-warships went to a farther place to converge and prepare to rush over.

The Lady of the Storm retreats into dimensional space, teleporting the Weepers to the Angel Fortress.

……

on the ground.

Calan, the commander of the First Company of the Blood Angels, is organizing an evacuation, and he sends a death squad of all incorrigible Black Fury authors to attack the swarm that controls the path in the center of the fortress.

Under the influence of Black Fury, the Death Squad was undaunted by the swarm in front of them, roaring into the swarm and killing it, before being consumed by the swarm in less than ten seconds.

A hive tyrant with a bone knife in his hand roared at Karan in the distance.

Karan noticed that the hive tyrant had arrived very hastily, with only tens of thousands of sword insects and more than sixty warrior insects around it.

The former is cannon fodder, the latter is an elite combat unit.

But this tyrant has no tyrant guards to protect him at this time.

Even so, it will not be easy to regain control of the central path, because at this time, both in the sky and on the earth are full of bugs, and if you can't deal with the tyrant in front of you within a minute, the bugs outside will surround you.

As the commander, Karahn could only give a more secure order, which was to let the evacuated troops take the path.

Just as Calane was about to give the order, a large chasm appeared directly behind the swarm on the central road, and out of each fissure came a Space Marine wearing a Terminator power armor.

"Live up to the blood of St. Giles!"

The sound of the battle cry reached Calan's ears, and he immediately saw the sudden appearance of the Space Marines attacking the swarm.

The equipment of this warband can be called luxurious.

Six Terminators form a combat squad, three of whom are armed with assault guns, two with hot-melt weapons, and the remaining one with a large blaster, but with a small Whirlwind missile launcher on his power armor.

In addition to the combat squad, there is also a guard squad that protects the battle commander and the regimental flag.

After suddenly teleporting to the battlefield, the fire support fighters in each squad did not follow the battle brothers forward, but stood still and steadied themselves, firing missiles at the swarm.

The Knife Worm was half emptied by missiles, and the remaining half was quickly slaughtered by flamethrowers and assault guns.

Armed with melee weapons, the Guardian Team struck the swarm and slain the Tyrant with their Warlord.

Seeing the fluttering battle flag, Karan recognized the sudden arrival of the warband.

Weepers.
