Chapter 921 Night Dire in Action
After occupying the orbital station, Soshyan summoned all company commanders and senior members of the Chapter to hold a temporary wartime meeting.
The meeting mainly had two contents. The first was to introduce the returning Roglis to everyone. Many people in the war group had almost forgotten that there was this director of the armory.
Especially Yazdan, when he saw Logris wearing a red robe and holding the Ax of the Mechanic God, he couldn't help but give him a hug.
The second content of the meeting is naturally to decide the next step of the war group.
Of course, it stands to reason that since they now occupy the orbital space, they can carry out a devastating orbital bombing of the Pai Shang planet, or even directly wipe out the world with an extermination order.
But firstly, it is difficult to guarantee that Abaddon has no other means of escape. Secondly, the battle group's mission to find the flagship must be carried out.
Afterwards Soshyan spoke his mind.
First of all, the first point is to contact the imperial armed forces who are still resisting on the ground. The focus is to find people who are familiar with the history of the planet to get clues about the entrance to the webway.
The second step is to find a way to close the subspace rift on Pai Shang, which also requires the assistance of local people.
The third is to determine the specific location of Abaddon to facilitate subsequent direct beheading strikes.
Although the main purpose of this operation is to find the flagship, Soshyan, as the loyal leader of the Astartes Chapter of the Empire, must also do everything possible to eliminate Abaddon, the greatest enemy of the Empire. This The two tasks are equally important.
Therefore, finding and saving survivors has become a top priority now.
However, the scanning results of the planet are very unoptimistic. Chaotic spiritual energy has filled the atmosphere of the planet. It is difficult for any detection equipment to reach the ground directly, and the signals from the ground can only be transmitted to the orbit in pieces. , mostly desperate cries and tragic last words.
In the more than a year since the invasion of Pai Shang, the planet has turned into a hell filled with demons. Large demons are fighting with the predatory beasts native to the planet, and small demons are constantly fighting. Attack various underground explorer fortresses.
Although the defenders of the fortress resisted heroically, this resistance was very limited. Fortresses were captured one after another, and even the entire fortress surrendered to the enemy. The survivors inside were either taken back to Attica as slaves, or became A cultist who aids the evildoers.
After re-reading the scan report, Soshyan chose the Howling Mountains area in the south of the planet's main continent, where unidentified clutter signals would appear from time to time - Roglis deduced that it might be some kind of transformation. Civilian communication devices.
After that, Soshyan chose to hand over this task to the new 11th Company. In order to maximize their combat effectiveness before the war, all of them had been issued power armor, but there was not enough practice time.
But the current situation means they can only learn in the flames of war.
In order to ensure the secrecy of this infiltration, Soshyan specially set the operation time at night, and fifty soldiers took five concealed-modified "Silent Eagles" and flew into the predetermined location in batches.
The place where they landed was an explorer fortress marked [341]. If the area is still under the control of the empire, then the survivors in it will be moved. If it is already occupied, then it will be cleared as a A base of activity.
The mission was quickly assigned, and the soldiers of the 11th Company were ready to begin their first action after putting on power armor.
This operation was led by Talos, so he flew in the first Thunderhawk, while Bahram flew in the last one.
This arrangement made Bahram a little disappointed, but he did not say anything more.
He has been in the 11th Company for some time, but what can I say——
Most fighters were unimpressed with him.
Bang!
The sound of the ramp landing hard made Bahram wake up. He untied his restraints and looked at the soldiers beside him.
"This is a secret operation. Everyone must remember that it is not a last resort -"
Suddenly, the scream of a chain saw interrupted his words. The whine of the whirling saws turned into a crunching sound, and Bahram could hear them devouring flesh.
When he walked out of the Thunder Eagle, he saw the silver-gray armor with blue trim, as well as a large amount of blood and broken bodies on the ground.
Those cultists with chaos symbols carved on their foreheads were either knocked to the ground or thrown into the air, and every warrior was covered in blood.
Bahram took a moment to adjust himself. This is the mental shock that the 11th Company can easily give people, just like this, massacring everyone.
This reckless passion for murder was completely foreign to Bahram.
But he tried his best to suppress the urge to speak. The battlefield is not a place for blaming each other. He had explained some truths to these young warriors more than once. He was not sure how much they listened, but most of the time they only responded with boos or boos. silence.
In order to prevent himself from thinking about this, Bahram looked at the fortress not far away.
This can hardly be called a fortress. It is basically a ten-meter-high stone enclosure built along the gentle slope of the mountain. It has a rather primitive feel, but you can also see some technological equipment, such as Radio and searchlight.
Looking along the passage at the main entrance of the castle, a pile of corpses wearing black robes lay at the end of the road. They were the victims of the brutal attack of the 11th Company.
Later he also saw the figures of Talos and other warriors, who were entangled in an explosion with a group of heretics wearing black legion armor that emerged from the ruins of the collapsed observation deck.
The battle was fierce and Bahram decided to support them.
"Li Lin!"
As Bahram called out his name, Li Lin was dragging a dying man from the floor and slashing the man to pieces with his chainsword. Two halves.
This caused Bahram to frown.
“Li Lin!!”
Bahram called again, intensifying.
"Go back to the battle, the company commander needs our support."
Li Lin looked back at Bahram.
In an instant, there was nothing but hatred and resentment on his face, and Bahram even felt that his image in his eyes seemed to be that of an enemy.
The moment passed, and Bahram appeared in Li Lin's eyes. He shook off the pieces of meat on the chain saw sword, shook his head again, trying to wipe away the most terrifying blood from his mind, and then called His team followed.
"Didn't you hear what the deputy company commander said! Everyone is gathered!"
The soldiers gathered quickly, but they just smiled at the title of deputy company commander. The battle group did not have this title. Talos added it himself. Yes, he means that Bahram has the authority to perform the duties of the company commander when he is not present.
Of course, most Night Dires sneered at this, and they would not listen to anyone except Talos and the Chapter Master.
"Come to me and advance!"
Bahram pointed his sword at the entrance of the fortress, but the warriors passed him directly and rushed forward without saying a word.
In the end, he could only smile bitterly and spread his legs to follow his comrades.
