Chapter 2106 The fierce battle is in full swing
On the battlefield thousands of kilometers away, light is shining, lightning is thundering, and with the gradual advance of the red pirate fleet, the contact curve between the two sides begins to change, from head-on confrontation to The red pirates gradually fell into the empire's formation and became V and M. Azrael directly ordered to give up attacking the Savage Crucible and instead attack the following red pirate ships.
At this time, the Savage Crucible was no longer focused on attacking the Imperial fleet. It was less than 250 kilometers away from the Moon of Destruction, so it launched a large number of landing pods and landing craft.
When the Empire's counterattack began, one of the Red Corsairs' Desecrator-class battleships suffered first. When its void shield was weakened by continuous attacks, a powerful blow from the main gun of the Indomitable Truth directly damaged its upper part. A main turret was torn from the deck, and the explosion also ignited the ammunition storage room below deck, where several more rounds were about to be fed into the gun chamber.
The violent explosion instantly killed everyone in the gun room and workshop, and the flames rushed to the height of the bridge.
Something more terrible happened next. Due to the damage control's delayed response and the brief interruption of the power supply system due to the torpedo attack, the fire got out of control. When the ship's system responded and began to close the main hatch and drain the oxygen, a sudden A ball of red flames had swept across its front hull, and then the front ammunition compartment also exploded, followed by a more violent explosion in the middle ammunition compartment. The entire huge warship was broken in half, and the weapons carried inside Over four hundred Chaos Space Marines were killed instantly.
The Red Pirates' warships began to pay the price for their poor war readiness.
Sinking a capital ship in the blink of an eye greatly affected the morale of the Red Corsairs. However, the Crucible of Savagery still exists, and its powerful firepower still makes it difficult for most Imperial warships to resist. The void shield of the Indomitable Truth It also cut most of them in half under its continuous attacks, and then the swarming red pirate fleet launched their best attack.
Large-scale gang-hopping combat!
With the assistance of a large number of fighter planes and Daemon Engines, the Red Corsair's jump gang used jump gang torpedoes and landing craft to directly attack the Imperial capital ships, especially the Indomitable Truth.
But the same Imperial fighter planes were also hunting these jumpers, and many of the jumper torpedoes were reduced to burning fragments by the crossfire of fighter planes, or detonated by flashing missiles.
Many figures wearing red armor were thrown into space, becoming a distinctive feature of this cruel battlefield.
Efforts to target the Indomitable Truth all failed, with no target able to penetrate its void shields and reach the hull, but others were successful.
"The Incarnation of God's Punishment belonging to the Disciples of Caliban has been invaded! The enemy size is about two tactical squads, and the company stationed on the ship is destroying the intruders!"
"Dark Voyage The number is invaded! The enemy size is about a tactical squad, and the Unforgiven are annihilating them!"
"The Bane of Heretics has been invaded! The enemy size is about one company, and there is a Terminator tactical team! Support is needed!"
Azrael and the command team on the bridge of the Indomitable Truth Continue to pay attention to the progress of the battle, and at the same time, you must always pay attention to the firepower distribution and shield energy distribution of the battleships. Although your own fleet retreated after receiving the first wave of offensive from the Chaos army, it was only to find its formation and regroup.
"The situation on the Heresy's Calamity is quite serious, where are the Samuels?"
"The Supreme Master, Master Samuel has been teleported over."
Crow Wing Master Samuel led a group of black-armored warriors and a team of Terminator warriors from Star Phantom to walk in the wide passage. It was rare for Samuel to go to the battlefield on foot, but this was an anti-jump gang operation. So it's not surprising. On both sides of the passage, the Chapter servants of the Disciples of Caliban were trying to make way for these huge warriors. Among them were many wounded, some lying on stretchers, some missing arms or half of their faces, but no People moaned, but there was no wailing, only heavy breathing that occasionally sounded.
When Samuel passed through the two blast-proof doors, the fierce roar of gunfire could already be heard at the end of the passage. When he walked into the door that was almost blown open, he saw a Caliban The disciple's warrior lay on the ground, his armor shattered and his helmet shattered. A pharmacist knelt beside him and was recovering gene seeds.
Samuel said nothing but drew his Ravensword, a buzzing sound piercing the air as the power weapon activated.
In the hall here, the third company of Caliban's disciples is fighting against the enemy. The servants of the battle group are providing cover for the masters one after another. Explosions continue to explode on the bunker, throwing fragile bodies into the sky. , the ground has been infected with blood.
At the other end of the hall, there are howling heretics wearing crimson armor, and among them are towering Chaos Terminators.
"For the Lion! For the Empire!"
The Ravenwing Company roared in on foot, fierce bolter fire poured on the enemy's lines, accompanied by the flash of plasma, at the same time, the starry phantom's The Terminators were advancing steadily under the leadership of the veteran Terminator Malak. They all carried cyclone missile launchers on their backs. When the enemy's front was locked, missiles roared out one after another.
In an instant, the Red Pirates' line was swallowed up by the sea of fire. Samuel took the lead and rushed forward brandishing the Crow Sword.
One Chaos Space Marine whose armor was set on fire was decapitated by a sword before he even had time to turn around. Just as the second one was about to raise his chainsword, the arm holding the sword spun in the air.
Think Tank Harahir followed closely behind the Ravenwing Grand Master. He held a gleaming power ax, with psychic fire burning along its edges. The blood mist billowed between swings, and at the same time He also controlled the flames to surround the Chaos Terminators.
The warriors of the Disciples of Caliban also rushed forward, using chain saws and explosive bombs to end the lives of the traitors. Starry Phantom Terminators armed with power hammers and power claws also meleeed with the enemy Terminators.
People kept falling and corpses piled up. Soon the invading red pirates were wiped out, but Samuel had no time to rest. He didn’t even have time to stop for a moment to check the casualties of friendly forces, because There are other battlefields where he is needed.
The forces of the Dark Angels in this battle are far smaller than the opponent's, but through the Unforgiven's command system, they can mobilize their forces to support each other as one, while the Red Pirates do not have this capability. Ability, they can only fight individually as warbands.
Just as the space battle was in full swing, the landing force dropped by the Red Pirates on the Moon of Destruction also broke through the weak defense facilities on the ground and began to attack the complex ant nest-like defense network inside the asteroid. Launch an attack.
For the 3.5 million mortal troops defending this place, the most brutal battle has just begun.
