Chapter 349 Iron Warriors·Four Seasons·Part Three
The alarm sounded in the communication array. It came at just the right time. After more than ten seconds for the Iron Warriors to escape, a series of green lights flashed in the dim sky. The light, leaving its mark like a tunnel through interfering time and space, sent mortar shells shrouded in green mist to the trenches where they were hiding.
Within one thousand meters, a huge explosion roared across the earth, fiery air waves blew over the iron helmets of the warriors, and broken stones hit the grid of the face armor. The steel warriors did not waver. Only when the entropy field data displayed in the instruments changed, or when green evil light leaked from the falling gas bombs, did they begin to shift the position of long-range attacks based on the signals from the chain of command.
“It’s this ammunition again.” Sergeant Zoran whispered, “What the hell is this?”
“Don’t worry,” Dantioch said, even through his helmet. The soldiers could also imagine the stern lines of the battalion commander's chin, which was covered with short stubble, as he spoke the command, "Do your job."
Sergeant Zoran nailed the four sharp claw-shaped brackets of the detector into the rock formation, and then adjusted the tightness of each screw according to the geological conditions.
The artillery fire in the distance is still continuing, and the team carrying heavy firepower is covering in front. They are not sure whether the enemy's missiles that rush into the clouds and then fall are aimed at them. In the last six months of fighting, , they have realized that the Hrud do not seem to fully grasp the power they can use.
Of course, this does not mean that their alien dark technology cannot play a role in destroying the army, and the Iron Warriors were ordered to preserve as much of their own strength as possible before launching an attack.
This is just one of the countless battles in the Great Crusade. They cannot give the Primarch the trouble of rebuilding the legion after the war is over.
Dantioch tilted his head slightly, which meant that he received a new instruction. Zoran could see the hidden meaning of the battalion commander's actions at a glance.
"I have good news for you, Zoran."
"What?"
"Wait until you get the instrument ready." Dantioch sold it out, which proved that he was going to That's absolutely good news.
Zolan raised his eyebrows in the helmet, quickened the movements of his hands, pressed down the throttle, and concentrated on adjusting the parameters on the instrument.
This instrument is used to collect the stasis force field parameters required to resist the Hrud entropy field.
Experiments carried out with the cooperation of the Mechanicus have proved that the idea of the Primarch Perturabo is successful. They have indeed found a method to statically resist the entropy field. However, once it is applied to a complex and changeable dynamic battlefield environment, a small If the preset parameters are wrong, the entire fortress can be sent to the sky together. They must control all data in real time.
If Perturabo indeed intends to completely destroy everything in the Satradar Abyss, and the Primarch can get enough funds from the Terran Ministry of Interior, then throw the stasis fields all over the floor , will indeed be an effective means.
"I'm almost done..." Zoran said. Before he finished speaking, their position in the distance began to make terrifying and irregular noises. It was hard to tell what big thing the Hrud were brewing there.
Dantioch paid attention to the disturbances in the war zone. When the ground under their feet began to fluctuate strangely, and a subtle dark green light suddenly jumped out from the broken stone slabs, Dantioch pulled Pick up Zoran, pull the sergeant away, and dodge when something like an excavator or crusher emerges from the underground tunnel, causing Hrud's surprise charge to fail.
Zolan reacted quickly, loaded the explosive bomb, and fired while retreating, trying his best to stay away from the scope of the entropy field. The few soldiers who were left on defense immediately gathered together, pointing their guns at the changes here, and analyzing the things in the eyepiece image.
Whether observed with the naked eye or thermal imaging, the Hrud do not look like a static creature. The distorted time turns them into a black shadow or a pile of overclocked leaping atoms. Fortunately, this will not interfere with the heavy machine gun. of aiming.
“The temporary fortifications have been dug through again,” Zoran roared, annoyed that his equipment debugging had failed and was interrupted. "Where did they come from?"
Although the fleet's foundry is operating at full speed, each newly produced entropy energy monitoring equipment is still precious, and limited energy cannot withstand empty consumption.
"Underground," Dantioch said, as a spinning ammunition quickly passed one meter above his head and fell to the rear. "This is why we need a heavy infantry team that does not rely on fortifications to fight."
"But we don't have that," Zoran said, stepping up the attack and interweaving a fire network with other Iron Warriors in tacit understanding .
Their location is located in an area with obvious terrain undulations, which is a natural hindrance to this batch of enemy missiles with serious height control problems. When the opponent is forced to reduce the missile flight speed due to hit rate, these missiles can break through the defense line. capabilities are also diminished. Their Primarch has always told them that the battlefield is another kind of forge, and at least half of the elements inside the battlefield must be under the complete control of the forger.
"I was about to tell you, we'll have it soon." Dantioch said calmly, calibrating the artillery's missile interception system and calling for air support. He knew that there was an aircraft formation on standby nearby, with sufficient ammunition and a new air command and early warning aircraft, which was very suitable for the combat environment here.
"Support?" The space warrior thought for a moment and guessed a possibility.
A feeling of guilt towards the Gene Father suddenly arose in his heart. Everyone knew that Perturabo did not mind cooperating with most of the legions to fight, but the Lord of Steel also particularly disliked asking for help. He believed that asking for help in the midfield was an interference with the army's internal chain of command and would cause him to lose part of his control over the entire battlefield.
But now, Perturabo has sent out a signal to ask for help from other legions. It is undoubtedly because of their own lack of ability that they have brought trouble to their beloved father.
More Hrud are emerging from the cave that was just broken by the crusher. Dantioch decided to abandon this temporary position while leaving room for air support. He had already seen some chaotic fluctuations in the clouds on the south side.
In the local communication array, Dantioch began to direct his reconnaissance team to retreat in batches. The Hrud who emerged from the tunnel had a strange obsession with him and Zoran. , has been approaching them closely.
"The Death Guard and the Blood Angels have already deployed their troops outside the Satrada Abyss." Dantioch decoded the information he just obtained and made it public on the channel. "The Night Ghost King's Court has completed the battle with The docking of our Primarchs and the Imperial Fist are on the way, and it is expected that there will be nine Terran days."
When he first heard this information, Dantioch himself was completely shocked.
The number of supporting legions was completely beyond his understanding. Even if he soon learned that the Death Guard and the Blood Angels were two new legions that happened to be available, and the Night Ghost King's Court was completely an uninvited and uninvited guest, this would not be possible. Change his surprise.
"Death Guard and Blood Angels?"
"Once the Twilight Raiders and the Immortal Nine." Dantioch stared at the data flowing in front of him and quickly added, in Sa The battle of Trada caused them to miss the rebirth of the two legions. "Okay, let's take care of Michael again, and then prepare to withdraw..."
Channel interference suddenly came, and their electronic equipment buzzed There was smoke, and complete data support was lost in an instant. Maybe it's entropy that interferes with them, maybe it's some other unknown enemy. Dantioch knocked down a few more Hrud and watched as their corpses decomposed and released a stench.
The newly emerged Hrud prepared new cannons, and Dantioch was about to respond, but a burst of explosions suddenly erupted from those creaking creatures. Judging from the phenomenon, it should be similar to the high Self-destructive explosion caused by leakage of explosive fuel. This happens all the time in the opponent's arsenal.
For the Iron Warriors, this was supposed to be a good thing, but Dantioch found that he was a little too close, and the impact of the hole they dug collapsed due to the explosion was a little far away.
He and Zoran fell into the cave below where Hrud was hiding.

"Sanguinius personally went to the core system of the star cluster and tried to integrate the scattered loyalist forces, but due to the defenders There was no clear command structure between them, and the armies fighting on hundreds of fronts could not be unified, so they suffered setbacks.” There is no chain of command.
