Chapter 1886 Steel and Stone (Part 2)

"The Eternal Fortress. It is not only a nightmare for the attackers, but also a nightmare for the defenders."

The time comes again after thousands of years. During the battle, Dassadra's voice was still full of lamentation. Too many of his brothers died in that battle that was almost hopeless for both sides.

After the Great Rebellion, perhaps out of pure hatred, Perturabo built the Eternal Fortress to challenge his most hated brother Rogal Dorn, claiming that it was a fortress that could never be breached. He was waiting for Dorn inside, and Dorn, who vowed to put his brother in a cage, immediately brought the Seventh Legion to challenge, but it took the Imperial Fists three weeks just to approach the fortress. In this battle, Dorn did not formulate a detailed and precise battle plan as usual. Instead, he commanded the warriors of the Imperial Fist to attack the Eternal Fortress without any preparation. When their vanguard finally crashed into it, Only to discover that this "fortress" was empty - the Eternal Fortress was actually more like a walled hunting ground. The Iron Warriors' ambush and heavy artillery swarmed up, and the battle was so fierce that the Imperial Fists warriors finally had to use the corpses of their fallen brothers to As a cover.

But even under such unfavorable circumstances, they still caused heavy casualties to the Iron Warriors. Until the Ultramarines arrived, Perturabo finally had to retreat. Both sides seemed to win, but they also lost. .

The Imperial Fists suffered heavy casualties and finally accepted the second establishment of the army. The Iron Warriors never carried out activities on a legion scale again. Dassadra was an eyewitness of that battle. He still remembers how those yellow lunatics rushed up regardless of casualties. Flooding one firepower point after another they established, his forehead still bears the scar left by an Imperial Fists Captain.

In fact, they don’t even understand why they want to defend there. It is just a worthless world. Victory or failure will have no impact or benefit. Hatred is one thing, and squandering life is another. It was the same thing. The two legions wasted the lives of thousands of warriors and fought on a meaningless battlefield just for the breath of the two original bodies.

It was that battle that made many Iron Warriors completely disappointed in their fathers, and they left the Legion and never came back.

After sighing, he suddenly pointed to the Silver Tower.

"What are those for? They look like Thousand Sons things."

"It does belong to the Thousand Sons. Huron has brought the instigator Sextus and his war gang. I hope they can find a way to prevent the empire from releasing extermination weapons on the planet, such as bipolar torpedoes. So they are spending a lot of money. We created these after using resources and slaves."

"It seems that you are well prepared, so what if the Empire is surrounded but not attacked?"

"Don't you think that's good? Can I defeat the Empire with my current strength? But from another perspective, the Empire cannot turn a blind eye to the tens of thousands of warriors here. After all, this is the galaxy closest to Angstrom, and the Empire will not be stupid enough to think of leaving only one. A small number of troops can trap us in the world. The naval power of the Red Pirates has not weakened to this point. Once their main force dares to leave, the Badab sector will immediately be ignited by beacon fire. We don't care about losing territory, the Imperials But not necessarily."

"Ha, so you don't plan to counterattack?"

"I don't have too many paranoia. I will make money by delaying for one more day, as I just said. However, victory or defeat is not here, but with Huron, I only need to do what I can do. Do you know that most Chaos Lords have a bad problem, that is, they cannot recognize their own boundaries and do not know what What you can do, what you can’t do, of course, I’m not talking about you.”

Dassadra shook his head with a sullen face. If anyone else dared to talk to him like this, he would have punched him long ago.

But that's the way Honso is, he knows that the other person is really not talking about him.

"With your mouth and your virtue, how can you control the Red Pirates?"

"Kill some and throw the rest to Bada Bu No. 6, it's that simple. It's not difficult to control these guys. Just lower your requirements. I have no desire to control them. They will go to the battlefield after all, and most of them will die."

"As for Secundes, are you going to defend it? From what you said before, it seems that you are planning to give up? But I personally feel that if both worlds can be supported, the empire's troops can be dispersed, so that We won’t have to use one planet to bear all their pressure. “The prerequisite for dispersing the enemy’s forces is to disperse our own forces. When the void is controlled by the enemy, we can forcefully separate our troops to defend. Then the Imperials can completely ignore Sekun. Des directly surrounded Badab with all his strength. The result was the same. Secundes' troops could not pose any threat to the imperial army. However, I did not say that I would abandon it directly. The ring of steel built by Huron in the past still remained. With some long-range weapons capable of threatening fleets in the system, I have moved them all to Secundus to give them the ability to threaten the imperial army."

“How many people do you plan to send to defend there?”

“I don’t plan to send anyone to defend there. I have asked the wizards to spend more than a year to build it with enough sacrifices. He built a huge altar, and as soon as the imperial army arrives, that world will be swallowed up by the subspace and become a demon world."

Dassadra's eyes widened slightly.

“You want to turn Secundus into a demonic world? I heard that it is the home planet of Huron. Will Huron accept this?”

"Whether it's possible or not, it can only be like this. I don't have any troops to waste in that world, so I can only let it waste the empire's troops. It's that simple, just a matter of addition and subtraction."

"It seems that you have already There are plans to deal with all situations.”

“The plan is one thing, the reality is another—”

Hong Suo raised his head and looked at the boundless sky.

“How many great plans turned into shit when the actual moment came. All I could do was turn Badab into a piece of steel. I heard that the commander of the imperial army this time was the Black Saint. Don's expedition marshal Herbrecht? His reputation is not small, but his stubborn stone will eventually be shattered on steel."

On the other side, at the edge of the Badab Galaxy, the mighty imperial troops have landed. Some ships are still bombing planets, but most of the ships have begun to park for post-war rest.

"Sir, all the strongholds and nests of Badab No. 6 have been occupied, and the troops are now clearing out the remaining enemies. This is the preliminary casualty count and enemy annihilation report."

On the bridge of the Obsidian Throne, Helbrecht was looking at the disintegrated orbital defense battle with his hands behind his back. Ten hours ago, it withstood direct fire from six large battleships of the Imperial fleet and persisted for a full For two hours, several small warships were damaged during the attack. If the fleet cooperated, they might not be captured so easily.

You must know that in the not-so-distant past, this was the Sigma Node, the core node of the Ring of Steel, a powerful defense system that protected the Badab galaxy. In the final stage of the Badab War, even the empire that had gained a comprehensive advantage The army was still daunted by the powerful defense system. Finally, the then commander, the Chapter Master of the Red Scorpion Chapter, proposed an almost crazy plan, using the Fire Eagle Chapter's Chapter Fortress, a star fortress called the Raptor King. Drag a fragment of the star to impact the Sigma Node on Badab VI.

What festival? Hammer is not celebrating today! Hammer only has steel and stone today!
