"Forward."

A rocket was reloaded into Vic's living weapon, and it slowly moved forward, uttering words that could be passed through more than just the psionic ironman communication systems.

It was clearly alerting the humans around it to attack with them.

The vast majority of Space Marines were not only puzzled by the appearance of these skeleton iron men, but also reluctant to fight alongside these subspace creatures, until a roar from Kiliman shook their eardrums, and Kiliman himself rushed forward with the Emperor's Sword to fight with the Iron Men.

The Space Marines also took action.

Qin Mo was no longer looking for opponents who needed to be dealt with personally while trying to advance the battle line, and when the iron men like Vic appeared, he realized that the only thing he needed to consider now was what to do after entering the jagged network and who to rush in with.

He eagerly ordered Thrall, who was piloting the Titan, to come to him wherever he was, as there might be a garrison in Navashtor's network.

Then there are the Thunder Warriors, and a reserve of Space Marines that Ryan has deliberately left behind.

As for mortals, Qin Mo didn't ask any mortals to enter the network with him, because being able to fight here at the moment was already the ultimate of mortals' courage and ability.

The only person left to consider whether or not to let him into the network is Kiliman.

"Maybe you should stay out of the network and help Ryan strategize." Qin Mo said in the communication channel.

"I have to get in." Killiman casually split a demon engine in two, "It would be extremely advantageous if there was a second one besides you who could completely annihilate a subspace creature. ”

Qin Mo didn't say anything more, got up and moved closer to where Killiman was.

Those iron men that Qin Mo could guess were entities composed of psionic energy matrices in the subspace, which were equivalent to another form of demons, were more powerful than the original iron men in the special environment they were in.

Their bodies are not bound by the rules of physics, and they are not bulky or sluggish.

Iron Man moves forward on the battlefield at a speed faster than that of a Space Marine, aiming and killing, and this is happening everywhere.

The Chaos Space Marines were struggling enough to deal with the Astartes on the expeditionary side, and they weren't a match for the skeletal Iron Men.

Demon engines are no match for them, and only the Titans can compete with them, but the weapons in Vic's hands have unimaginable anti-armor capabilities, so that those Titans who dare to stand in its way are blown up like the hapless warriors before them, leaving a piece of absolute nothingness on the battlefield.

This wasn't the only problem the enemy had to face, and even more terrifying than the weapons in Vic's hands was the fact that the situation of the war was distorted in some strange way when these psionic iron men appeared on the battlefield in large numbers.

Just as the influence of the Blood God indirectly led to the outbreak of this extremely high-intensity ground war, which led to the emergence of a war situation in which the two armies faced each other against each other.

The advent of the Psionic Iron Men has made warfare more and more inclined to hard-fought battles without the slightest tactics and stratagem, just like the mass wars that once broke out in the Hades system.

Either because the Psionic Iron Men appeared too suddenly, or because the subspace communication devices that Vashtor had assembled for himself with a coaxing and deception threat were suddenly not so smooth, in short, the impact of the tactic was weakened, it was not completely non-existent, but it had little impact, and there were always various contingencies that prevented an ingenious tactical strategy from being carried out.

All psykers in and around the Eye of Fear heard the roar from the subspace, and many of the Imperial worlds close to the Eye of Fear were brutally bloodied, and the demonic world inside the Eye of Fear was bloody.

These far-reaching anomalies are the result of the angry roar of the Blood God who is watching this bloody battle, because it can no longer see the subtlety of tactics and the courage and sacrifice that can turn the tide in the ground battles that are the most evenly matched and the most skillful tactics of the combatants.

The war becomes a radical qualitative conversion, as if everything involved in the war is weighed on a scale and clearly priced.

A metal skeleton-like Iron Man is not unstoppable, but it takes enough flesh and ammo to trade it to death, and it can be costly to make them disappear from the battlefield.

The Iron Warriors have Iron Men, and Vashtor has something similar, but they are either sparsely numerous or deployed with a focus on not breaking the line.

For the Chaos Space Marines fighting for Vashtor and the Eye of Fear, there is only one way to maintain their advantage in a head-to-head confrontation, and that is for them to trade their flesh and blood for the death of the Iron Man or Space Marine.

The question of how many lives to trade for a metal skeleton-like iron man is not on the minds of any Chaos Space Marine, as they have made a wiser choice before they even think of this step - retreat.

"Get out of here! Fuck Vashtor! ”

"We can't trade lives with a bunch of iron lumps here!"

The shouts were mixed with the sound of artillery fire, and the reaction of the Chaos Space Marines was not beyond anyone's expectations, not even Vashtor himself had anticipated their retreat, and even felt that they were worthy of gratitude for holding out until now.

The Chaos Space Marines weren't cowardly, but they definitely wouldn't die for something they thought they shouldn't be going to die, and they immediately withdrew from the battle lines, so fast that it was hard not to think they were prepared.

But unbeknownst to the Chaos Space Marines, Vashtor is responsible not only for the lives of their dead comrades, but also for his bad decisions.

within the network.

Vashtor, who was observing the battle, turned around and walked out, leaving only a fluttering word for Birak: "I've failed, let's take the next step." ”

"Your machine has increased the psionic influence of those technological creations." Birac spread his wings and landed in front of Vashtor, blocking its path, "Your mistake was like a ritual, except that instead of letting those Iron Men lie on their stomachs, you summoned even more terrifying Iron Man opponents, and then you wanted to go?" ”

Vashtor glanced back at the demonic device, which was still wailing, and then at Birak: "My defeat is like a partial defeat on our front, not irretrievable, not a mortal mistake. ”

Birak wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Vashtor's next sentence.

"In the long struggle, I have learned a truth, temporary failures and setbacks are meaningless to creatures like us, and we are not those short-lived mortal mortals, there is no need to worry about failure countless times, and it is good to succeed once."

With that, Vashtor left.

Birac looked at the back of the Lord of the Forges and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Close the entrance and exit of the network." Without looking back, Vashtor replied, "Prevent the enemy of fate from coming in." ”

Birac frowned slightly, and his gaze fell on the battle situation.

When the entrances and exits of the network are closed, those allies in the heart of the front will be left in a position where there is no way to retreat.

It is equivalent to Vashtor betraying the many Chaos minions who he coaxed and deceived and persecuted, and tried his best to persuade them to participate in the war.

While even the slaughter of all allies in the vicinity of the portal would be a defeat for one position on the entire front, Birac believes that for those Chaos Space Marines, the death of one of their fighting brothers somewhere could have an impact on them as a whole.
