Chapter 78: There is a stalemate, the Black Heart King launches orbital bombing, the ending of the Skadi 4th Infantry Regiment...
What is fear and what is morale? For space warriors, those things did not need to be considered, but now they have become fatal problems. Their former courage disappeared under the haze of the dense forest. The Vietnam War PDTS is what the ancient Terrans called it. The current state of the Chaos Space Marines.
The mortals of the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment are destined to spend the rest of their lives holding Chaos outside the dense forest, making it impossible for them to leave their camp. When any cubic meter outside the wall is full of danger, even for Space Marines, The nature of the matter has also changed.
They have less than a hundred people, while the Astra Militarum has tens of thousands. Even if the team can kill hundreds of forest warriors at one time, the death of one brother is a loss in the war, and they cannot consume it.
Nowadays, the powerful Space Marines are surrounded by mortals and unable to move. When the Space Marines were given power by the God-Emperor, they may have never suffered such humiliation.
The supermen realize how close death is to them. If they are loyal space warriors, they can still muster the courage, but the chaos space warriors only want power and fun, and the flames of resistance only need a volley from the veterans in the dark to dissipate in an instant.
But is victory within reach for the Astra Militarum? Without long-range artillery strikes, no orbital advantage, and no Imperial Navy support, the loyal 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment was unable to advance and destroy the enemy.
Huge losses could not kill those Chaos traitors. Even if the veterans desperately longed for victory and the death of the traitors, Alan Bair never dared to gamble on victory with the emperor's currency.
If the Black-Hearted King no longer dares to deploy troops in this world and allows his already stretched remnants to be wiped out in this world, he should not send any more soldiers. Now there are only two choices left for the Black-Hearted King...
Retreat and bombardment
Alan Bair wanted it, and King Blackheart also wanted it. On the disgusting traitor battleship of the Ghost of Destruction, the tyrant's claws were trembling. He felt his brothers die, and their souls set off ripples in the subspace.
The mortals here exceeded his expectations time and time again. Is it because the forest or the will of this world is helping them, or the so-called God Emperor?
Huron couldn't understand where the strength of those Imperial Guards came from, but his rich tactical experience told him that if he wanted to occupy this world, he should make a decisive move.
"How is the status of the light spear and Hongpao?"
Valtex, the dimensional blacksmith, respectfully answers his master. "You can launch anytime, anywhere, my lord."
The Black Heart King thought about what he saw from the auspicious detector and the optical detector, the continuous and graceful forest. The environment here is very similar to Terra, almost the same, but the weird magnetic field and the density of the forest make it so... The world has become bad. This is one of the few gems in the galaxy. He doesn't want to use a chisel to scratch it, but the will of this world is against him all the time.
Can she feel malice or does she treat all life equally? Huron wasn't sure, but the spears and cannons were enough to turn the continents of this world into scorched earth. "Overload the void shield, withstand the enemy's anti-orbital bombing, and enter low-Earth orbit."
Valtex answered without hesitation. "Yes, my lord."
Huron continued. "Activate the remaining two Land Marauders, deploy them by airdrop from the vehicle according to the target, contact the ground forces, and conduct cleaning operations after the bombing."
"By the gods of subspace, this world will definitely become ours..."
The body of the Ghost of Destruction gradually moves downwards. The huge hull made of Adamantium alloy, ceramite, and adamantium can even be seen with the naked eye from the ground. The orbital bombardment makes it appear at an oblique angle in the void, and the star realm in this world But the army knew nothing.
The violent cannon fire raised smoke that was 30 meters high, and the light spear directly carbonized a kilometer into crystals. Such attacks fell like raindrops and ran rampant in the forest. Alan Bayer felt that the hot wind was paving the way. The cry of the world?
They maintained a magnetically stable psychic impact for orbital bombardment, which also allowed Alan Bair to contact the city of Karoo, which was dozens of kilometers away.
He ordered to Karoo City.
"In the name of Lieutenant Colonel of the Fourth Infantry Regiment of Kadis, Minister of Justice of Gondwa VI, and Chief of Staff of PDF, I order all PDF in Karu City!"
"Get the TM anti-orbital light spear ready! God-Emperor, those traitors can't afford to play anymore!"
A violent counterattack erupted in the center of Karu City. The Bordero, which was barely able to fire over the star port, also sprayed flames. The firepower hit the void shield, creating a shocking wave.
The Black-Hearted King felt a violent tremor and he shouted. "Ground troops, rely on the ground cleared by the light spear to move forward and clean up the enemy!"
The light spear turned the forest within the mortal's range into a crystal plain, and like a sharp blade cut through the emerald green skin of Gondwa VI, revealing the wound underneath, a white quartz-like wound.
The Chaos Space Marines are well organized, relying on the Land Raider, a crawling tracked armored vehicle with almost impenetrable armor, two coupled deflagration ray cannons, and multi-tube melta as the main cannon, with powerful firepower. At the same time, it can also be used as a cover to move forward, adapting to the terrifying surface environments of many worlds. The scarlet paint and the logo of the red pirates, as well as the heads and flesh of mortals, make this disloyal thing even more disgusting.
These two Rands were clearly Chaos Space Marine variants modified for ground invasion and anti-infantry suppression. They were built from birth to slaughter their own kind, and the disgusting renegade machine spirits stomped across the ground with a terrifying roar.
Veengar was very satisfied with these two terrifying things, and now the forests that hindered their progress were dissipated. Spears of light shone on the ground, and cannons opened the way for them. The war burned the world, and countless creatures died.
The moistness of the hot wind turned into the smell of coke, the green forest turned into scorched earth, the roar of the Land Raider's engine made people tremble even more, and the Astra Militarum's eyeliner in the forest only left a message on the radio.
"Two traitor vehicles!" They disappeared under the vaporizing light spear, and their souls returned to the throne.
retreat? How to retreat? Is it possible that your human legs can outrun the light spear?
Fight back? How to fight back? I don’t know how long the void shield of the Chaos warship can last, but it only takes a few minutes for this forest to be burned down to the ground without a single leaf left.
But if the notorious Red Pirates could use such tactics, the Skadi 4th Infantry Regiment would be proud of their defeat.
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 sat on the ground and watched the divine punishment-like light beam gradually approaching. It was heroic, beautiful, and indescribably beautiful. People spent 40,000 years just to make something like this and use it to kill 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 today's promethium and ceramic steel, Monomolecular, Destruction Stance and Light Spear.
People have changed but have not changed. Alan Bair sighed in his heart, but he is still the commander of the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment and a soldier of the emperor. He stood up and faced all the loyalists.
"We lost, but we did not lose to the traitors, but to this dark universe. Although this world is helping us, the God Emperor is helping us, Karu City and hundreds of millions of people of the empire are helping us. ”
"But in this damn world, this endless void is full of enemies of the Empire. After leaving the orcs, come the traitors. What else comes after the traitors, the Eldar pirates? Or the Tau merchants?"
"I must admit that we cannot achieve complete victory. Everything is unpredictable. The Emperor's protection has brought us to this day. It's just that this beautiful world is now handed over to the Chaos traitors who cannot cherish her at all. I feel uncomfortable."
"If my arm touches the battleship in the void, even if my firearms are useless, I will fire without hesitation, if my death can bring the death of the empire's enemies."
"But we have not completely failed. Karu City is not without defense forces. Even if there is no fourth Skadi regiment in this world, there will be a fifth regiment, a 72nd regiment, a 237th regiment, and countless descendants of the emperor will drive away this world. Group of things.”
"Then everyone, open your backpacks. There is no need to keep those supplies. The light spear will be burned in a few minutes. Remember to eat quickly."
"Brothers, veterans, did you remember to leave letters to your families? Remember to tell them how to distribute the inheritance? Don't let them starve. And hope that the emperor can let the Ministry of Government issue the rations to the children of the martyrs."< br>
"By the way, I don't want you to be a war couple. Zhongji Academy is actually not a good place. The staff can be used as a reference."
Alan Bayer immediately sat on the remaining Chimera armored vehicles of the Fourth Regiment. After all, the ground was full of dead branches and leaves, but this place was the only one that was relatively clean.
The staff officer sat next to Alan Bair and nodded to the soldiers. "I admit, that place is terrible."
John Deen came over, waved his hand, and said dissatisfiedly. "Ah, boss, it feels so bad to lose like this. I would rather be shot by the orcs. Also, this can is really unpalatable without being heated."
Alan Bair cursed. "It's good to have meat. If you complain so much, you won't be so talkative when I see you eating starch!"
John Dehn replied. "Boss, I can't help but think this is the last meal..."
The ensign listened and complained. "So what, I probably won't live to be 25 in the hive city, but I'm 26 this year, ha, I still have meat to eat, I've made money, Lord Planetary Governor, forgive me for being unreasonable, you got too much, let go No more!”
John Dehn nodded. "Yes, my wife, my world, my factory, my political achievements, and the rest of the good and bad things."
The staff officer also said. "My travels to Terra, my trade in Valhalla, and my work with Advisor Kane have to stop..."
"Emperor, I shouldn't have written a retirement application..."
Alan Bayer suddenly asked you. "Hey, how long have we been dragging these bastards here?"
John Dehn replied. "According to my memory, half a year, right? That means starting from two months or about a month after the Lieutenant General left."
Alan Bayer said again. "How many traitors have we killed?"
The staff officer replied. "124 people, not counting those loyal former servants, Space Marines, 124 people, enough for each of our officers to get a Terra Star Badge."
"Haha, I couldn't get it when I asked for it before, but now, I can't get it easily!"
Alan asked again. "How many brothers have we left behind."
The ensign replied. "Twenty thousand people, to be precise, twenty-four thousand people, basically all recruits, also my colleagues in Skadi PDF, although we are not residents of the same hive city."
"In less than half a year, two-thirds of the time I left. I think I'm quite lucky!"
Alan Bair will say it again. "Then did we lose?"
The three of them answered in unison. "Losing your MB, for the emperor!" They raised the military kettles in their hands, but it was full of wine, and they took a swig.
It seemed that they were not sitting on the Chimera, nor were they being bombarded by fierce light spears, but in a tavern in the hive, with a group of officers complaining about the terrible war situation.
But if they can be considered in dire straits, then the empire probably doesn't have real troops anymore.
The light spears were gradually approaching, but the fourth regiment seemed to be having a drinking party. They had always regarded death as home, but they could not be replaced with the enemy, which made the soldiers feel unhappy.
If there is even a slight possibility, they will make those Chaos traitors tremble with fear!
In the last moments of the burning light, the loyalists of the Empire raised their glasses and sang the Emperor's hymn. "If my heart has passed through the netherworld, my soul must have returned to the void. You are good, you are beautiful, you shine on all the worlds, thousands of empire citizens, and billions of human souls."
"May the light always remain, may the throne be immortal, and may evil be broken. If you wake up one day, traitors will die in shame, evil spirits and gods will be afraid, and the loyal ones will live forever!"
"For the Emperor! For the Empire!"
Under the light, the final song of praise ended. The 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment returned to the throne...
?
At the last second, a strong 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. "My lord, two Cobra-class Imperial destroyers hit our ship's weapons with torpedoes. The light spear array on the right side facing the ground was all paralyzed!"
The Black-Hearted King slapped the blacksmith away and turned on the auspicious instrument himself. He looked at the data on the screen.
"Imperial Moon-class strike cruiser, two destroyers...Why did the Imperial Navy discover us?"
"Inform the ground troops to retreat, and the Destruction Ghost starts the subspace engine. When the ground troops return, we will force an emergency subspace jump!"
The dimensional blacksmith said incredulously. "Sir, even we cannot be stable in the chaotic flow of subspace. If we are unlucky, what awaits us is death in subspace! Or we may 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 fall and cursed secretly in his heart, because he no longer dared to face the Skadi 4th Infantry Regiment. Even if there was no honor, he still hoped to kill that unit in this operation. !
And when all the Space Marine brothers boarded the transport ship, Vengar looked at the emerald green land, and he secretly swore that one day, he would gain the honor he had lost as a mortal.
But now the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment looked at each other, the veterans looked at the new recruits, the new recruits looked at the commander, and the commander Alan Beyer pinched the radio and cursed.
"I R you! Why did you come to support me?"
The lieutenant general held the radio on the battleship and cursed back. He had already learned about the great actions of the Skadi 4th Infantry Regiment through communications with Karoo City, such as beating the notorious Red Pirates out of ammunition and food.
he cursed. "I am your boss, wait! Wait for me to go down and apply for a Terra Star badge for each of your officers. This is too outrageous!"
I really want to eat fried chicken (meaningless muttering)
Ah, Commissar, I did not express any views, I am serving, sir!
Political Commissar:
&amp;gt;Remember: Only heretics have doubts
&amp;gt;A closed heart is a loyal heart. A loyal heart is a happy heart.
