Chapter 1931 The Final Sprint (Part 1)
“I knew those scum of Slaanesh were more likely to fail than succeed!”
After Zhu Fu received the news that the Flawless Blade war gang had retreated, he was scornful made an evaluation.
But having said that, this actually had some impact on his plan. Originally, he thought that even if Lucius and his gang failed to behead them, they could still hold back and interfere with Soshyan's command center. A period of time, this period of time is very important.
The "one step away" he sent to Huron is indeed correct. Four thousand warriors have now entered the Star Castle. They have occupied one-third of the area and have attacked the farthest. That part was even close to one of the nine reactors of the star fort, and the defenders' strength had obviously been pushed to the limit.
At this time, the main opponent's command is in chaos. If Zhu Fu works harder here, it is possible to achieve the goal.
Then the entire battle situation will be reversed in an instant.
But now Lucius was beaten away without even touching the opponent's ship. It didn't matter that he ran away, Zhu Fu's plan immediately had a huge problem.
Now he is not sure whether the empire has any remaining strength. If he continues to invest now, it may be possible to break the deadlock, but it is also possible that the other party will follow suit. After all, Soshyan, who has a stable command, can also increase the number of defenders again. , thus turning the battle into a simple addition and subtraction problem.
If a raid turns into a war of attrition with more water and more face and more water, it will basically fail. After all, even the morale of the Chaos Space Marines is limited. Except for those Khorne lunatics, Zhu Fu knew that no one wanted to be beaten to the point of death.
Including himself, after all, Giuffre was the first to run away in Flax.
Khorne is the god of war, and war also requires wisdom. Zhu Fu knows that the blood god expects him to be a war master, so he will never do any tricks like those berserker warriors to sacrifice their bodies with blood. .
His goal is only to win!
Of course, as a war master, Zhu Fu also has to consider another situation.
If it is really impossible to conquer, how can the deployed troops escape?
So far, he has no intention of escaping from the battlefield like Vraks did at that time. After all, his reputation has been established now. Doing such a thing easily will damage his reputation. The title of a coward is still relatively high for a Chaos Warlord. Seriously.
This time he came to the Maelstrom not only with Abaddon's arrangements, but also with his own plans. He couldn't give up halfway before reaping the benefits.
After careful consideration, Zhu Fu made a relatively cautious decision.
He arranged several large gang-hopping teams to conduct gang-hopping operations against the Imperial warships around the Blessing Barrier to distract Soshyan, and then personally led the team to launch the final charge.
If you really can get it, then keep fighting. If you can't get it, you can cover the retreat of others.
This time, his willingness to take on such a rearguard mission was not a sign of conscience. Just by doing this, Huron could not say much, and he could also gain the favor of some red pirate lords.
If Huron is really defeated, these good feelings will be very useful.
"The enemy seems to be here again." In the star fort, the third company led by Farzad had just repelled another wave of attacks by the red pirates. Before they could replenish their ammunition, a message from the distance soon came. The noise.
The place where they are stationed is also the location where the Star Castle was attacked the deepest by the Red Pirates. Less than one kilometer behind them is one of the Star Castle's main reactors. Once the enemy causes damage, it is very likely It caused disastrous consequences, so this water pumping station became a top priority. The several skitarii that were stationed before were all maimed by the enemy's attacks, including the fourth company, which also lost more than 20 people. Later, they had to move to a relatively safe defense area.
At this time, the third company with relatively intact troops took on the heavy responsibility of defense. They were assisted by a half-disabled skitarii and combat robot brigade, as well as some scattered mortal armed forces, totaling about 10,000 people, and the pumps they defended After the fierce battle, the walls on both sides of the station were basically damaged, and everyone could only use the metal facilities and debris as bunkers.
Although the water gate was closed, some water still leaked out during the battle. There was a thin layer of water on the ground, and many corpses were lying in it, including skitarii and combat robots that were still emitting sparks. , there are also twisted cultists and massive Chaos Space Marines.
Hearing Zod's words, while Oscar saw the enemies through the scope, the auxiliary sensor of the helmet began to automatically count their number - they were irredeemable Chaos cultists, most of them shirtless , wearing their shirts around their waists, with blood-carved patterns on their skin, equipped with all available weapons they could find - laser guns, knives, sharpened rusty metal, and some heavy weapons.
Every Chaos cultist has wide eyes, making them look full of desperate resentment mixed with some unknown fear, and such emotions may explode at any time.
"Brothers! Followers of the Skull Reaver! Today, we face the ultimate enemy! Before we can truly glorify the Blood God with our lives, He has once again arranged a test of our faith for us!'
The cult leaders began to encourage these crazy mortals.
"Fighters, we have succeeded in pleasing our master and our god, and this has made him decide to reward us, reward us with more heads! Those heads! The ignorant scum of the Space Marines Yes, blind machines! Here, let us die in His name! This will prove His power to the weak!"
The crowd shouted wildly! Cheering, roaring with crazy joy for the upcoming battle.
‘Brothers! Get your weapons! The cowards of the Empire will bow before your wrath! ”
Then the Chaos Cultists scattered into action, roaring and cutting themselves, immersed in the great slaughter that was to come.
The weakest cannon fodder rushed at the front, while a large number of infantry waved their messy weapons and roared out their bloodthirsty desire.
"Fire."
Without Farzad's personal orders, after the enemy came into range, the priests commanded the Skitarii to start attacking, their weapons bursting out in clusters Flower of Fire, then the first wave of heretics fell, some heads disappeared directly, some were cut into two pieces, all of these guys fell to the ground in a burst of water.
But the heretics continued to rush forward. Behind the cannon fodder were fanatic believers who were relatively less cannon fodder. They were smeared with blood-colored ointment and wore simple armor. Their bodies were covered with scars and brands, and their eyes were hidden. Bloody madness.
Those who had weapons to fight back fired pieces of laser gun beams into the bunker. Some of them hit the Skitarii and burned a small hole in them. A few of them left marks on the armor of the Space Marines. But no one's armor was penetrated.
Five minutes later, Farzad moved his hand, raised the battle ax, and then made a quick downward cutting motion. At this signal, the tactical team's bolter spit out a burst of explosive steel. The rain curtain suddenly cut down more heretics.
