Chapter 750: Plague Warlock
"The Dark Angels have all been dropped to the landing site!"
Ryan, who was at the tactical table, heard a report from the bridge communications officer.
And this is just a hint, the reaction and thinking ability of the original body has allowed Ryan to judge the information that has not yet been displayed on the tactical table.
Choosing to let his heirs participate in the first wave of landing battles is not only because Ryan wants the Dark Angel to first adapt to the tactics of the Legion period and reorganize the scale of the Legion period when the Holy Book is useless now, but also because he is too familiar with his own heirs and can predict the next change in the battle situation by comprehensively considering the characteristics of the heirs.
When Azrael and Ezekiel's drop pod slammed into the spot where the Death Guard and the Dracas were fighting, attacking both sides, Ryan was already preparing for the next step in the landing battle.
In this golden expedition, the human side has a lot of strategic-level weapons or personnel, which is why Ryan thinks it is a battle for wealth.
The first is the four primitives, which will be personally involved in the battle if necessary.
Then there's the Blackstone Fortress of Tyrone, the Iron Force, the Star Gods, and the Lord of Tyrone, the Celestial Engine.
The Burner of the Star Gods and Saranoga in the fleet led by Chagatai.
The Blackstone Fortress was taken away by St. Giles, and St. Giles only woke up from the coffin to participate in the battle when the branch fleet to which he belonged was in crisis, so the actual controller of the armed forces in the Blackstone Fortress and the branch fleet was still Dante.
The main fleet does not have the kind of weapon that can suppress the subspace energy of a range of nearly a hundred light-years as soon as it is opened, but after all, there are two primordial bodies and their powerful heirs, as well as the Lord of Tyrone, an existence that can single-handedly turn the tide of the battle.
Celestial engines are used to work in the most extreme situations: the demonic world where Blackstone works cannot return to normal, so it destroys one galaxy after another with material weapons.
Thanks to these strategic forces that can be relied on, Ryan, who coordinates the overall situation, quickly thinks of a backup plan to deal with any contingencies.
At the same time, Killiman handles the dispatch of supplies and various non-combat or auxiliary combat personnel, and his processing speed is comparable to that of the main control intelligence.
Qin Mo and Tyrone Admiral Adam commanded the naval fleet to continue to fight with the plague fleet.
The already fierce war on Broome is getting even more intense.
……
on the ground.
The first person under the original body of the Dark Angel Warband, the Supreme Mentor Azrael, and the powerful psionic Ezekiel of the Warband landed on the surface in the same drop pod.
They then engage in an exchange of fire with nearby enemies, receiving and processing intelligence from other combatants.
Due to the good selection of the airborne landing site, after pulling out some planetary defense weapons and deploying the fortress of the air defense position, the entire battle group and sub-regiment landed from the strike cruiser to the surface very smoothly, and did not die many people in the process.
However, according to the information provided by the scout team in the warband, the plague warriors are sweeping through at an alarming speed.
This is how the various pieces of information gathered into Azriel give him the impression that the plague warriors are already deployed near the landing site, waiting for the enemy to descend and kill them.
But their combat effectiveness does not look like they have designed an ambush in advance.
After thinking about it for a moment, Azrael decided that he didn't want to think about it so much, he felt that the hellish place under his feet was in the eye of fear after all, and it was not surprising that the plague warriors grew directly from the ground.
And then, as Azrael thought, the plague warriors did appear in unexpected ways.
After Azrael and Ezekiel rode in the drop pod, a sudden overgrowth of fungi on the surface swirled around the drop pod, and eventually as the fungi decayed, the plague warriors of the brigade rushed out of the empty drop pod.
But the sudden appearance wasn't enough for Azrael and Ezekiel to focus on them.
Someone will take care of it.
Twenty-five veterans in Terminator armor arrived in groups, six of them armed with heavy weapons known as the Caliban's Spear, and soon relied on their superiority in numbers and firepower to quickly blast the drop pods along with the plague warriors who had inexplicably emerged from them.
The plague warriors who suddenly appeared were all dead again, and they didn't have time to listen or do anything but hear the battle cries of the Dark Angels for the First Legion and for the Caliban.
Even the rotting corpses that littered the ground after they were killed were incinerated by the flame weapons that had been blessed before the battle.
"That's not right." Ezekiel only glanced at the corpses burning in the sacred flames on the ground, and then his eyes were covered with a layer of light, and although he didn't turn his head, he could see everything around him from a higher perspective.
The drop pod, which had been used by the plague warriors, had been blessed by the Anglican led by the Apostle of War Matthieu before the war, and it was supposed that it should not be used by the enemy.
And it's a way to use it by directly corroding it and turning it into something like a teleportation base station, so that the plague warriors can emerge out of thin air.
And this way of using it has no practical benefits, it is more like showing off skills.
"There may be a powerful plague sorcerer around here." Ezekiel is ready to take on a formidable foe and engage in a psionic battle with the rival psionics who have just flaunted their skills.
While searching for the plague sorcerer, Ezekiel found that the target was not to be decapitated at all, and he saw that the sorcerer had corrupted the drop pod and left to go on a more important mission.
In psionic vision, Ezekiel stares at it.
He saw the muscles tugging at the other man's rotten countenance, and understood it as a smile.
The plague warriors who had just emerged out of the airdrop pod were indeed just the showmanship of an evil warlock, and now, this warlock stood seventy kilometers away from the landing site, pulling the power of the dark god to perform a new spell again.
Ezekiel saw that the other was holding a book in his hand.
The cover of the book was a twisted wailing human face, which seemed to be the source of the Warlock's power.
Eventually, the warlock summoned a portal made of festering limbs across the plains, from which an army of plagues poured out.
The second largest armored unit of the Death Guard Legion, each of these armored units is sickly large, and is covered with mutated limbs like all those blessed by the plague gods.
The third company of the Death Guard, known as the Motarian Iron Felt, marched with the armoured troops, and the soldiers of this company were extremely adept at storming fortifications.
And after two Dalian, one Warlord-level Titan and ten Plague Knights who chose to believe in Nurgle 10,000 years ago teleported out, and behind these war machines were more heavy combat units such as Demon Engine Hellbeasts.
Ezekiel told Azrael what he had seen.
Azrael was silent.
Above the Dark Angels dropped from the airdrop, transports carrying mortal legions took the place of strike cruisers.
Several armored regiments of the Qadia Assault Army, the 87th Armored Regiment of the Tyrone Army, were directly dropped to the surface in formation by larger types of drop pods.
Then came the infantry regiment of the mortal troops.
Positions were quickly established, and the engineering regiment built positions under the protection of the Emperor Angel and the combat troops, and according to the battle commander's plan, they would build a fortress directly on the continental plate beneath their feet.
Not for defense, but for the construction of the Blackstone Obelisk.
