Chapter 2036 Iron Flow (Part 1)
The operations of the Devotee Chapter were very efficient. When the signal of successful operation was sent, Soshyan decisively ordered the fleet to approach.
Soon the orbital facilities of the planet Tovac appeared in the flagship's scanning array. It was also one of the major investments during the Huron reign, like a belt of steel and adamantine. , the entire main structure is covered by buildings - a huge repair dock, a composite forging factory, and a huge fleet berth floating around the complexly decorated spire.
Originally, it should have been prepared for the fleet that appeared, but now there was no response. The flashing lights above even showed that it could enter the port.
Some pirate ships originally parked in the port were hurriedly trying to escape.
It was obvious that the Devotee Chapter had completed most of the work, and the escaping ships were soon attacked by the Expeditionary Force fleet.
The huge Indomitable Truth blotted out the stars, its majestic turrets spraying clouds of plasma and blinding lasers, smaller warships gathered around it like amberjacks around a shark, and even the Eternal Loyalty No. is so inconspicuous compared to it.
The fleet formed a staggered crescent shape, surrounding the direction in which the enemy ships might break out. Soon, the high orbit of Tovacsk was filled with wreckage and debris.
After solving the orbital problem, Soshyan immediately ordered an attack on Watt Fortress.
At this time, Watt Fortress was also in chaos. The defenders did not know how the enemy was able to appear in the main city without warning, completely bypassing the security facilities, and many defense systems were also blocked by enemy agents. Destroyed, although the Death Cult assassins are not as professional as the assassins of the Assassin Temple, they are still ghosts that cannot be found to mortals. They are very smart and do not go to trouble those Chaos Space Marines, but specialize in assassinating mortals. Technicians and managers can also create great chaos.
It was then that the city felt the shock, it shook from bottom to top, huge, fiery, devastating craters were struck into the massive walls, creaking as the ancient metal deformed A quacking sound.
The sky burned with rolling flames, and every face in every part of the city raised its head and stared in fear at the trembling ceiling.
Orbital bombing is the first step. Although it is blocked by the void shield, the spread of energy impact affects the aiming of anti-aircraft weapons.
Soon the clouds were pierced by huge fiery tears, which rushed down at incredible speeds, causing devastating lacerations on the surface around the city.
Ground attack launched——
"All systems have been debugged."
Sergeant Galion Kerr closed the hatch and sat in his commander's chair. This former member of the Brotherhood of Steel warband now wears the silver of the Loyalist. He wears gray armor and drives a vehicle from the Legion of Destruction whose designation has been erased in the past, and he himself is actually an Imperial Fist.
Well, sometimes he also wonders whether the emperor hates him so much that he has arranged such a tortuous life for him.
But at least he is not doing badly in the Astral Knights, and he can still drive the super-heavy armor he is best at. As for the future, it is left to the Emperor. After all, he was a traitor before. It couldn't get any worse.
The commander of the Cruel Blade is located on the upper left side of the turret. Since this ancient model uses a complete automatic loading system, there is no loader. Even if a Space Marine is sitting inside, it does not seem crowded. In front of Gallian There are three screens, integrated auspicious indicators, tactical indicators and communication panels. If it were another Astra Militarum tank, every available surface not occupied by tactical displays or controls would probably be filled with personal belongings. But it is extremely simple here. This is where Space Marines are different from mortals. They hardly need any external objects.
And since they were all wearing power armor, there was basically no smell in the cabin, only the smell that a steel beast should have.
"The landing ship has one minute to land and is ready to release the lock. Everyone confirms the status." "The instruments are normal and the reactor is normal."
Pilot Varun Ka Doso's deep voice echoed in the spacious car body. They were driving a brutal blade named [Steel Ode]. This was an overweight armor designed for the Astartes. Because of its high level of automation, Therefore, only four crew members are needed. Garyn Kerr is not only the commander, but also the communications officer. There are also two gunners in the car, a main gunner and an assistant gunner.
If it is replaced by the super-heavy armor used by the Astra Militarum such as the Poison Blade, at least eight crew members and additional servitors will be needed to assist in control. In addition, a political commissar will be added, and the entire interior of the vehicle will also be Very crowded.
Their vehicle has a twin-linked accelerator cannon as the main gun, a destroyer cannon as the secondary gun, and a quadruple laser cannon on each side of the vehicle, controlled by servitors.
In the era of the Great Crusade, such great war machines were a common armament of the Astartes Legions, but in these 41 millennia, most Astartes Chapters or Chaos Warbands are no longer able to produce them. One plane.
And how many Star Knights are there?
Garyon Kerr is not sure. The Astral Knight's armory is like a huge mystery to him, and there always seems to be surprises that he can't expect.
“The main gun is normal, the weapon control servitor is normal, and the aiming system is normal.”
Main gunner Guy's voice sounded second. Valen Cardoso, like Gallian, was from the Brotherhood of Steel, but Guy was a serious Astral Knight.
"The secondary gunner is normal, the connection subsystem is normal, and the aiming system is normal."
The voice of the deputy gunner Ramsay finally sounded, and his voice was a bit young. He is also a star. knight.
This is the lineup of their vehicle crew, and it is also an arrangement specially requested by Soshyan. He hopes that these "veterans" who are proficient in war machines can bring out more similar sergeants, so other overweight vehicles are also Similar configuration.
Galian Kerr then pressed the communication button.
"Iron Wolf, report your situation."
"Everything is normal."
"Bronze Ghost, the situation over there."
"Everything is normal."

Their team consists of three Cruel Blades, and Garyn Kerr is the commander of the team. The vehicle commanders are also his former "old buddies", and they don't need to speak so much to each other. Although they have "cleansed their roots", the habits and fighting styles developed among the Iron Warriors over a long period of time will be difficult to change.
With the imminent landing reminder ringing echoing in the cabin, Garyn Kerr opened all the equipment and panels. The faint green light suddenly covered his entire face, and various data flashed in front of his eyes.
Just as he thought, everything was normal.
