Chapter 1034 Abaddon’s Plan
After more reinforcements from the Black Legion appeared, Soshyan already knew that Abaddon planned to trap him here - but his focus was still on being surrounded Fortress No. 7, so this determines that he will not invest much force. They are basically cultists and a large number of small demons, mixed with some Chaos Space Marines.
If that was all, then he would almost succeed.
Currently, Soshyan has only more than 200 soldiers and more than 50 castle-level combat robots around him. The knight family has been on standby near Fortress No. 7.
It seems he has no more reinforcements.
But as early as a week ago, he used the material transport ship to load and unload the auxiliary troops of the Chapter to the surface of the planet.
For most Chapters, the mortal auxiliaries are insignificant, as they lack most of the equipment and vehicles possessed by the regular Astra Militarum, but the mortal auxiliaries of the Astral Knights in Sosh After many years of operation, its scale and equipment level are not comparable to those of ordinary battle group auxiliary forces.
Soshyan even gave them an official name, the Aswaran Legion.
This may be the only aspect where Abaddon miscalculated.
".The first regiment, attack the left wing! The second regiment, in coordination with the armored assault battalion, attack the right wing!"
The explosion of the rocket burned mortals to ashes, and the impact killed more thugs. The enemy army was already in chaos when the mortal auxiliary forces of the Astral Knights came from the west.
Then, deadly flowers bloomed together, and a large number of Cerberus tanks equipped with flamethrowers ignited vast areas of purifying fire.
A few minutes later, the heavy vehicles arrived, and the enemy's casualties began to skyrocket. The behemoth with roaring engines fell into the massacre.
Malcador Heavy Tank, Leman Russ Heavy Tank, Leman Russ Conqueror, Basilisk——
A large number of heavy vehicles originally belonging to the Astra Militarum appeared on the battlefield .
The infantry of the Aswaran Legion are also well-equipped. In addition to the silver sheet armor covering their entire body, they are also equipped with a large number of new light plasma weapons. These equipments contain some of the human technology of the Golden Age, whether it is The efficiency and strength are much higher than ordinary Astra Militarum equipment.
Soshiyan stood at the forefront and directed the battle. He locked the pistol on his belt, raised the Holy Sword high, and unleashed hatred on the despicable traitors who dared to rush towards him.
The thugs were helpless in the face of the oncoming force, and their numbers decreased sharply.
The Asvaran army kills faster than the sparse Astartes, and the harder they attack, the more focused and ruthless they become.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Soshyan grabbed the coat of a cultist who was lying on the ground and pretended to be dead, and raised the guy to eye level, ignoring other attacks around him.
His captives scratched and resisted, spitting, speechless in rage.
Soshyan looked into the eyes of this degenerate, but did not see anything familiar in this madness - this madman did not leave any humanity behind, he was just a machine made of flesh and blood. , empty flesh filled with anger, nothing more.
“There is nothing to understand about you.”
Soshyan said to this poor guy, throwing him aside, and found that other thugs were launching a siege, trying to use their numbers and hatred to defeat him. He was put to death.
He held the Sheng Yan Sword in his hand and drew an arc.
The four heads fell to the ground, their expressions frozen in the final roar.
He cut a bloody path in the angry waves and continued his observation of the battlefield. He was still looking for a way to quickly resolve the battle, but found nothing.
A Sikaran battle tank came to him, and Soshyan stopped.
He felt something was wrong, so he boarded the tank.
Looking around, we can see that the direction the enemy is coming from is already a sea of fire. The traitors do not have many vehicles. Two Predators are facing the west, two Rhinos are lined up in the second row for support, and Chaos Space Marines in black armor are lined up behind the tanks. battle front.
They guard a mountain of ruins, on which stands a dancing Chaos Wizard.
The man's actions tightly grabbed Soshiyang's attention. The black net twitched at the edge of his sight, and blood red oozed from the ground. The madman preached to the madman. Although there was still a considerable distance between them, the other party His gestures are not so weird. Soshyan could feel a certain surge of power, and so could the thugs below. The churning sea of people responded to the gesture.
When he pulled it inward, the crowd gathered inward; when he pushed it outward, the crowd rushed westward.
They are all his puppets.
"Brother Roglis."
Soshyan said over the radio:
"The wizard who is instigating, he is the primary threat, target him."
“Yes, Chapter Master.”
The Sikaran's main guns opened fire, killing scores of mortals in the explosion, and a Rhino was engulfed in flames, but the traitors in the turrets kept firing back.
The wizard's figure disappeared from sight, and Soshyan guessed that the other party had been shattered into pieces.
At this time, there was a sudden explosion from the sky.
The Thunderhawk and Stormcrow gunboat formations replenished their ammunition and returned again, weaving a web of fire in the sky, and the roaring sounds were endless: engines, guns, explosions, and airflow.
On the ground, the Asvaran army rolled over the tide of anger, heavy tanks marching on the front line of the team, their Firestorm cannons igniting the sea of people.
The siege shield in front of the vehicle shoveled away the dead enemies and the struggling thugs who were burned in flames, and pushed aside the smoking flesh and blood. Soshyan stood on the Sikaran tank and watched the steel ruthlessly destroy the original planet. residents burned to ashes. What he sees before him is not war but a necessary extermination.
No matter how things end up on the Red Sand Mountains, the infestation of Chaos is irreversible. It has been two years since the invasion of the Black Legion, and it is difficult to say that there are any innocent people on this planet.
When the war is over, he will support the decision of the Extermination Order.
"Soldiers of the Aswaran Army!"
Subsequently, Soshyan broadcast on the command channel:
"You fought well, now, let us start the reckoning!"
The Chaos Space Marines also moved quickly, lighting their backpacks one by one in an attempt to escape from the fire zone.
But the ensuing barrage gave them a head-on blow. The two traitors were directly hit by the assault cannon and were shattered to pieces in the explosion of their jump packs. Others were also injured and landed awkwardly not far from the front of the team.
Their bolters spit fire and exploded in the rear of the lead tank.
One of the traitors fell behind the Sikaran battle tank. Ustad jumped out of the top compartment regardless of the flying bombs and fought back with his own pistol.
He struck the traitor's breastplate, smoke rising from the power armor, and the Chaos Space Marine stepped back, then charged, firing.
Ustad lowered his posture and thrust out the sword in his hand.
The sword blade cut through the ceramic steel and sank into the flesh. The traitor tried to break free, but Ustad took a step forward and hooked him with his arm.
The two were hugging each other like friends, but Ustad was pushing hard on the hilt of the sword, grinding the armor and bones.
"Repent, traitor."
"Never - never -"
The trembling Chaos Space Marine raised his fist and tried to smash it into Ustad's face.
The second company commander smashed open the traitor's arm, raised the sword sharply upward, and neatly cut open the traitor's chest.
