Chapter 116 The recapture of Baicheng and the crushing of the Imperial Guard
The night is slightly cold, but the Imperial Guard will not sleep peacefully, amidst the noise of the transport planes and the jet flames, the walls are made of marble from low to high, from the low nine meters to the high twenty meters, rising like terraces in sequence.
The inner gaps of the walls are crowded with various buildings, and at the highest point is a huge building that shines like a gem, the Castle of Aragon.
The ancient castle can be traced since the emergence of humans in this world. The foundation cast by the empire's technology can withstand the ravages of thousands of years and remain standing. Skulls representing purity are carved on the white marble walls of the city. The soldiers who come and go are all mutated and corrupted.
Heretics, this word means that they have betrayed the Lord of mankind, their fellow flesh and blood compatriots, their honor, their courage, and their identity as human beings.
It is impossible to fly at sublight speed in the atmosphere, and it took the Imperial Guard a lot of time to cross the continent to get here. Alan Bair only hopes that taking back the city can make up for their losses. After all, the supplies given to them by the Emperor are being used up every minute. disappear.
The reconnaissance team asked the transport plane to slow down its flight speed and reduce the flames of the jets. It was like a star hanging above their heads in the high sky, and an oracle like an antenna stood, sending out various signals to this huge human city.
To deal with the garbage civilization of this era, the Imperial Guard can achieve devastating strikes and precise kills at the same time, but Alan Bair still emphasizes that bombing cannot be carried out.
If bombing is used, victory may be easy, but the Kingdom of Agatha will also face a long period of resource shortage and be unable to supply battleships. Although the battleships only have tens of thousands of people, the rations of tens of thousands of people for more than a month are not enough for a world without the industrial revolution. Still too expensive.
What's more, this civilization has just experienced a catastrophe. In order to prevent the Imperial Guard from causing another annihilation of civilization, Alan Bayer can only choose to engage in troublesome and stupid behavior such as hand-to-hand combat.
The scanning efficiency of the reconnaissance team below was extremely high. The three-dimensional images detected by the auspicious device and the internal structure of the city were transmitted to Alan Bair's tactical tablet. Compared to the complex hive cities of the empire, this place was simply a plain. .
"It's not too complicated. The guards on the wall rely on laser shooting from outside the range. The transport ships of the third, fourth, and fifth companies go there. The first and second companies descend and behead the cultists in the castle. The other teams clean the city. Remember, the staff of each company strictly pays attention to heretical buildings, heretical sculptures, heretical beliefs, etc., and will destroy them if they encounter them.”
"In the name of the Emperor, the action begins."
20 transport planes carried the elites of the Imperial Guard hovering in the sky. The Middle Ages were not without long-range weapons, but there were very few wooden products in this world, and long-range weapons could only be used by a few elites. Primitive people who did not even have bows and arrows, even if they were covered in plate armor, how?
The firing force of the laser rifle can even melt the chitin armor of aliens. Its power is stronger than most automatic guns, not to mention the armor made of mortal iron.
The biggest problem in this operation is that it is impossible to establish a radio command point in the case of a surprise attack. It can be said that to a large extent, the Skadi Fourth Regiment will face a situation where there is no command for a long time and only one combat target, which requires officers. Have strong personal awareness and self-judgment standards, be adaptable and have tactical planning.
It has to be said that the damn climate on Gondwa VI has given them the ability to fully adapt to such an environment. The personal judgment of the officers of the Fourth Skadi Regiment is as good as any school-level officer in the empire.
Planning, execution, methodical, and finally turned into a massacre of heretics. Many orcs were stationed outside the White City. Because of the request of the Chaos Space Warrior Sauron, they were here to protect and prevent the loyalists from counterattacking, but they did not expect that this would not happen for hundreds of years. A group of battle-hardened Imperial Guards came to the world where the Empire was approaching.
Sauron's original plan only included the aboriginal people of this world, and he thought that even if the imperial forces came, they would not be able to take over the entire mortal city silently, unless they were interstellar warriors, so his plan was not only to wash the dishes, but He will also enter an endless escape.
You know your father better than your son, and you know your enemy better. The traitors knew exactly how the Empire could be so blatant, and the Fourth Skadi Regiment happened to be the Imperial Guard that did not rely on heavy firepower. In a boundless galaxy, the human army marched out of weirdness.
Also, another one named Catachan is also on standby in this group.
The guards on standby on the wall yawned and recalled the taste of the dried meat and beet porridge they had eaten. They had no interest in who controlled the world. People lived that way anyway.
They are not Agatha people, but humans from the distant border. Compared with the residents of the Agatha Kingdom who live in the middle of this continent, they have completely indifferent to the belief in the Emperor. Instead, the belief in Khorne brought by the Chaos Space Marines Make them very happy.
The edge of the world's continent has a cold climate, lack of food and clothing, and the days of the weak and the strong are deeply rooted in the bones. It is commonplace to rely on force to capture. Most of the guards here are also covered in furs and armed with rough weapons such as ax blades.
To describe it to the soldiers of Skadi's Fourth Regiment, they were dyed green and thrown out, almost like green skins.
In addition, their bodies are constantly mutating due to their belief in chaos. There are three or four arms, two heads, and six eyes. The symmetry of the body of the creature is not worth mentioning to them.
And this structure also makes them more ferocious, brave, fast or sensitive than ordinary humans on the battlefield. After all, with more arms, they really have more combat power.
They were wearing chain armor and iron hats, and there were many evil things like human skin and strips on their bodies. Traces of the eight-pointed star also appeared in their residences.
The low roar and circling of the transport ship made them alert, but no matter what, they could not imagine that there was someone hundreds of meters above their heads. When the beam was activated, the shooting of thousands of Imperial Guards caused a rain of death to fall from the sky, and chains The armor's defense is equivalent to nothing. With just one shot, those heretics will explode, exposing the bones of the mutated spines and limbs.
In addition to weakening the power of the wall, the Imperial Guard's goal was to destroy the ballistas on the wall, because that was the only thing that was still threatening to the invading troops. However, they soon discovered that the plasma guns prepared in advance, thermal Melting is completely useless. The laser alone melted those ballistas completely.
said the third company lieutenant who led the team. "That's almost it. Send the flare. Oh my God, if only our mission could always be so easy."
The other soldiers nodded. "It's just target practice, just a large-scale exercise."
"No way, this is a feudal world after all, they don't even know how to make matchlock guns."
As they chatted, they finally attributed the tragic experiences of those cultists, who were reduced to being beaten to pieces by lasers and lying trembling on the ground, all to the punishment of the Emperor.
Purple-red flares were also launched at this moment, and the dazzling flash of white phosphorus exploded in the dark night sky with the bright and conspicuous color of chemicals.
The veterans of the 1st and 2nd companies are basically veterans of the Orc War until now. Alan Bair gives priority to their supplies. Although it makes other companies jealous, other companies also know that every time Skadi When the fourth regiment encountered a desperate situation, companies 1 and 2 were the first to charge.
Relying on the persistent archaeological operations of a certain regiment leader, these two companies, with a total of 1,600 people, are all equipped with carapace armor, deflagration guns, and have about 30 Catachans mixed in. They are also proficient in the art of melting. They are monsters and monsters. , there is no such thing as hot melt applied to the face that won’t kill you.
At the same time, they are equipped with power weapons. Just looking at their individual equipment, they have surpassed the Stormbringer Army and are close to the Kashe Zin or the Sun Auxiliary Army. They are the true elite-level blades of the empire, mortals who can compete with Space Marines.
"Falling."
In a word, several transport planes descended from the sky like death, and heavily armed soldiers descended wearing imperial night vision equipment and explosive weapons. The smell of promethium filled the air. This feudal primitive world tasted the imperial technology for the first time.
Taste with blood.
There are no civilians here anymore. Everywhere you go is a mess. The cultists barbarians and orcs are wreaking havoc here. The orcs are eating human bodies, while the cultists are roasting cattle and sheep. Gold and precious metals are scattered all over the ground. Of course, there are also faces. Nice Imperial followers are…
"Heretic..." Sergeant Catachan wiped the blood of the heretic on his arm. When he just landed, he encountered one and trampled it to death. Relying on his weight and the inertia of the landing rope, he instantly killed the evil spirit. The believers trampled like insects.
The logging-in troops were instantly surrounded, but to be precise, the siege should be the other way around. It was the Imperial Guards who surrounded the heretics!
The heat ray shooting is simply devastating. There are many orcs here, and there are also heretic knights wearing plate armor, but those rough defenses are nothing worth mentioning under the power of the explosive assault gun. Death, death is Skadi The fourth regiment's salvation for them.
When the cleaning was completed, the soldiers walked here. The once beautiful marble castle had now been turned into a cult site. Those chaotic pictures painted the scenery of the subspace, which also represented the presence of psykers here. This is the most terrifying belief in the gods. In such a place, as long as there is a population, a hive with no threat can be turned into a demon cave.
Fortunately, the Fourth Skadi Regiment discovered it early. Under the eight-pointed star were hanging people who were already emaciated and bleeding. The soldiers determined that they could not be saved and shot to end their lives. This is what heretics are, absolutely inhumane.
"Be careful, there may be psychics, let's go to the main hall and have a look."
Under the command of the sergeant, the assault team of hundreds of people slowly opened the huge metal palace door. The scene inside was unforgettable. A man wearing a dark robe and a strange bird mask was kneeling before the huge carving of Agatha. In front of the statue of the first king, blood, eight-pointed stars, minced meat and madmen filled the place. The strong smell of blood made the veterans of the 1st and 2nd companies sick.
It is not pure blood, but a blessing from the gods, and there is nothing representing the emperor here. Obviously people in this world do not know what the emperor really looks like, or those things have been removed.
But the accompanying battle priest soon discovered something was wrong. "That statue, that statue that's almost 7 meters high, has a double-headed eagle carved on it."
At this moment, the Imperial Guard saw the thing on the sword held by the king's statue. It was not a double-headed eagle. The thing had been changed beyond recognition. The Imperial Guard only felt it was blasphemous, but they couldn't explain clearly. But if Alan Bair came , he will definitely shout, I *Tzeentch!
That's right, the mark of the empire is simply the mark of Tzeentch. This can never be a transmission error, because according to records, the first king must have seen the imperial troops.
But this situation makes sense, because although the empire is terrible, there is a unique set of tax standards for each place, civilization and material level of the world, and there should not be destruction caused by tax collection.
But if the first King Agatha couldn't tell the difference between the Emperor and the Lord of Change, then the situation would be different.
It's a pity that Alan Bair didn't come, but the man in black robe was mumbling something. "I feel it, I feel it..."
The mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the ground, as well as those dancing lunatics and actors, all suddenly exploded, twisted, and turned into red waves, constantly approaching the heretic.
Sergeant Catachan yelled. "Shoot!"
Heat rays, melt, plasma, and messy weapons roared at the heretic, while the gifts from the gods from the highest heaven kept gathering on the body of the heretic in front of him.
He is getting stronger and stronger, he is upgrading, and he is contacting himself and the Chaos Gods, but such rituals must not be disturbed. Also, although he has pacified the world, this "big villain" is obviously in the dark universe of Warhammer. Not qualified yet.
Soon, a brand new Chaos Egg arrived. Its thick, twisted body had veins exposed, its body was huge, and it had many tentacles. It roared, its mouth was serrated like a lamprey, and a disgusting stench filled the air.
It swung its body wildly, and the king's statue was destroyed in the attack. The Imperial Guard could only shoot with all its strength. Swish, swish, swish, under the emperor's roar, the huge monster disappeared in the attack of hundreds of people.
It was not that the Chaos Spawn was too weak, but that the Imperial Guard was too strong. When the flames burned the hall and the battle priests sang praises to the Emperor, the matter was settled. In just two hours, the entire White City was returned to its original owner.
The fourth Skadi Regiment won. No one was lost, but a lot of ammunition was wasted. However, the real mystery unfolded. When the Queen was grateful, she emphasized to Alan Bair again and again to prepare supplies during this period. , Alan Bair just replied to her that they would also eradicate the entrenched chaos traitors, including the big devil.
But after Skadi's fourth regiment left, the queen looked at the burned-out palace and held up the dust in a frantic mood. "Knowledge, the knowledge that our family has accumulated for hundreds of years...God Emperor, why are your soldiers like this..."
She looked into the sky, praying to the "God Emperor" who was somewhere unknown, and she suddenly stood up and listened with her ears.
"Below? Below?!" she emphasized again and again.
In the boundless void of subspace, the Lord of Changes, one of the Chaos Gods, showed a smile and answered.
"Down below."
This is one of his boundless bodies and one of his sanity. It is extremely difficult for the empire to transmit communications, but it is his specialty. Alan Bair does not know it, and the staff does not know it. The real heresy is not in the extreme west. And around.
The first day I missed the political commissar
