Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 429 Black and Red, Planning in the Shadows ([-]) Darkness, Blood Claws and Long Fangs
"Hmm..." Severe pain appeared in the head of the original body, and under the great oppression of the soul, the head and even the whole body of the original body, and even every holy blood cell groaned in pain.

As the strongest psyker in the entire Jamero star region, he is also the ruler of the authority of order that is the most thorough opposition to chaos.

Calvin became the biggest victim in this energy tide, and of course became the person whose soul essence suffered the biggest impact after the chaos power was greatly promoted from the subspace origin.

He could even use the perspective of his authority to see the source of this storm, behind which was the gathering of countless rituals throughout the eastern half of the empire.

While this information was recognized by Calvin, he could also see fragments of broken pictures and memories from the fragments of these information:

It was the result of thousands of sacrificial ceremonies, large and small, accumulated by the servants of the Chaos Gods throughout the vast eastern part of the empire, accumulating blasphemous power over decades.

And it was precisely this power accumulated for a long time that was finally released after Calvin arrived in the trap they had prepared, thus causing the original agitation in the depths of the deep subspace.

This is undoubtedly a trap specially prepared for him, because raids in the real universe of the subspace usually only need breadth, that is, the more demons can reach the real universe in the shorter time.

But this time the Chaos Gods obviously didn't do this in the invasion. They spent decades of waiting and the organization of the Dark Shepherd to shrink the scope of this ceremony to only one star sector. Altered levels of power go right down to the very depths of the Warp.

This is the revenge of the gods on him, a belated punishment for stealing the authority of the gods twice in a hundred years;

This was also a premeditated hunt, because at this time Armageddon had been covered by the blood tide from the two miracles of Khorne.

On top of this, the Lord of the Red Sands, who drifted to Armageddon from the trek in the subspace, has used his own arrival to take away all the energy of the Emperor and Terra...

There will be no reinforcements, and this is bound to be a lonely battle.

And if Gal Wen guessed correctly, the opponent he will face is led by one or more demon princes, a huge demon army that can encircle him.

"Save those space wolves first!" Looking at the Indefatigable Jihad leaping out of the void, Calvin first gave orders to the Gray Knights on board.

At this time, there was chaos on Ballogo, and the rebellion that broke out around them made the space wolves who had just relaxed defenseless, and their previous measures to isolate these mortals out of vigilance were Calvin's response to them. Support bought valuable time.

Blood-red smoke rose from the hives on Baallogl, reaching into the sky.Countless demons rushed out of the skins of those polluted people, screaming and rushing towards them under the watchful eyes of the surrounding crowd who had absolutely no combat experience...

The 33 hives on the ground lost contact one after another within a few hours, and not long after the space wolves learned the warning from the front, an endless tide of humans and demons poured out of these lost hives, heading towards Heading towards the weapon base stationed by the Space Wolves.

Can't wait for the long turnaround time of the planetary defense system, the assault fleet belonging to the space wolves has already started bombing the surface.

However, the divine punishment-like artillery fire is so powerless in the face of the natural disaster-like demon tide. Even if their fleet shoots the weapons in their hands to the limit of the cooling system, it can only lead to bursts of waves on the several plains of Ballogo. A wave of corpses visible to the naked eye from space.

And compared to death, there are more coming from behind.

The killing effectiveness of physical ammunition against demons was once again proved to be limited in this bombing, because those kinetic energy kills cannot guarantee the complete destruction of demons;

The light spear weapon can do this, but in the entire assault fleet composed of small warships, the light spear weapon has become a kind of extravagant creation at this time.

As a result, the raging demon tide is getting closer and closer to the positions of the space wolves, visible to the naked eye from the perspective of space.

And under the background that the anti-aircraft firepower of the hive capital was the first to fall, after their fleet in orbit confirmed that they could not safely evacuate, they could only use limited artillery fire to cover the battlefield, and use the weapons and ammunition that the frontline soldiers lacked and the few remaining The mobile force is projected down.

ten kilometers……

eight kilometers...

six kilometers...

The sergeants of the sea wolf Dalian, also known as the long-toothed veterans, stood on the high ground where the weapon base station was located, watching the black line connecting the sky in silence.

A Bloodclaw from the rear stepped forward, licking his lips, and informed the veteran in charge of the progress of the team's transfer:
"The explosives have been placed. According to the order given to us by the wolf lord, we should go."

The veteran nodded slightly, then shouldered the heavy heavy bolter under his feet and walked away from the plateau.

Half an hour later, on the high ground, a wave of fallen people and demons had already reached the high ground with roars all over the sky, and in the mountains in the distance, there was a tiny pedestrian walking by.

boom!
The faint sound of thunder sounded from behind the Space Wolves. Looking back at Blood Claw, what caught his eyes was a burst from the weapon base station, which finally lifted the entire highland into the sky after several explosions. Huge smoke and dust.

The entire earth trembled slightly from the sound of the explosion, and among the orange-red flames, not a single person could survive.

The Space Wolves team finally disappeared into the mountains, and joined their other teams at another weapon base a few hours later. Several Storm Eagles with the Fenris logo were ready on the tarmac, waiting for them But it is another battlefield...

However, this is only one of the more fortunate ones among dozens of weapon base stations, because not every base station has the space to retreat.

In a remote position like this, the Space Wolves naturally have enough time and space to evacuate, but most of the weapon base stations surrounded by the hive city do not have the time and space for this luck.

Helm's team did not have such luck. The weapon base station they were assigned to was located between the three hive cities on the third continent of Balogo.

These three hive cities are located on several craters of the third continent. Due to the perennially unstable crustal structure here, they are able to exploit the mineral resources here at extremely low cost.

It is precisely because of the abundance of lava veins flowing on the surface here that these three hive cities also rely on mining and secondary processing as their main source of income.

The weapon base stationed by Helm's team is located between the three hive cities, and in the previous battle with the Inquisition's fleet, they also successfully used the base's anti-ship weapons to hit battleships belonging to the Imperial Navy several times.

And it is precisely because of the cover of the three surrounding hive cities and the special surface structure here that the imperial warships that have locked on them finally chose to let them go under the scruples about the stability of the entire continental plate.

But that's where the luck came in, as the rune priest-led squad was trapped here for the same reason as the war ended and the warp storm ensued.

They couldn't move out in advance, because the three surrounding nests had already locked the nearby airspace.

They also cannot evacuate on foot, because at their speed it is absolutely impossible to get out of this continent before the arrival of the surrounding demon tide.

The so-called success is also based on this, and failure is also based on this.

Rune Priest Helm was quite calm about his team's situation. He had already contacted the mothership in orbit as soon as he confirmed that it was impossible to evacuate.

Under his arrangement, the members of the team have planted numerous explosives.

And according to the plan, if he can evacuate this place, then the bomb located in the center of the third continent, which is also the most unstable position on the earth's crust, will use a huge explosion that can instantly overturn the entire third continent, to kill the demon tide here. Erase it all.

This news immediately caught the attention of Hoffman, the wolf lord of the Sea Wolf Company, and after a little thought, he gave Helm a new task.

Hold here until the last of Baellog's Space Wolves withdraw.

Because of this huge plate movement, it is bound to affect the other two adjacent continents.And the wolf squads stationed in other weapon base stations, especially those stationed around the coastline, are bound to be affected by the tsunami caused by the explosion here in Helm.

So he has to stay here until all the teams are confirmed to leave.

He didn't regret his report this time. In fact, after he discovered the tactical value here, he had already anticipated the next task he would receive.

Yet he doesn't care.

Because he was like every veteran who walked from the snowy fields of Fenris to Fangkeep and survived countless battles to become a "Tusk".

They all believed that if the whole father's will felt that the time was not right, then no matter how difficult the battle was, he would definitely have a chance to survive.

And if the whole father is determined to take his soul away, he is also happy to enjoy the peaceful sleep that only a true warrior deserves after countless battles...

Hoffman and Helm made a plan that was accidental and inevitable.And it is precisely because of his contact that it is difficult for Seawolf Dalian to give up here after discovering the special tactical value here.

As a result, in the next few hours, a series of tragic wars took place here.

Yes, a piece of cold knowledge, that is, whether the Space Wolves are in the Legion era or the Warband era, their countless serving squads and squads, and companies have no obligation to support each other.

They don't mind the death of their comrades unless the wolf gives orders; most of the time, they come together for the same prey.

And according to this logic, Helm and his team didn't expect any support force to arrive after the demon tide came.

The scorching monsoon whizzed past his head, and the smell of sulfur from the surrounding mountains stimulated his nose and at the same time sent information about distant enemies to his brain.

"Hold the passage of A3 for at least 1000 breaths, or consume enough of their strength before you can retreat!

Don't come back if you miss one, and I will tear off the urinal on your neck with my own hands!do you understand! "

Helm, smoking a piece of Fenris local specialty tobacco, explained his mission to his bloodclaw (recruit) Marsh.

In one hand, he took a thing that could not be distinguished as a staff or a chain saw axe, and with the other hand he threw the heavy ammunition box at Marsh's feet.

"Understood, dad!" The recruit looked at the thing that could barely be called "tobacco" in the veteran's mouth, and his heart was full of curiosity.As he repeatedly disassembled and assembled the heavy bolter in his hand, he locked his gaze between Helm's two tusks. (PS: In regular combat, recruits of the Space Wolves do not have the right to use heavy weapons. The battle here is a defensive battle, and it is a special case where recruits can touch heavy weapons.)
Although he knew that the poison was not small, it was something given to him by the pharmacist to suppress the pain on the veteran's body.

But the wolf cub is like this. When he was born, he didn't know the fear of everything around him. He will keep this "fearlessness" until he endures the first unbearable pain in his life.

And after that?After that, if he is still alive, he will have a new name - Gray Hunter.

"And remember not to close the passage when you evacuate, then turn right at the next intersection for 200 meters, there will be a detonator waiting for you!"

Helm was still explaining the details of the mission, but the young wolf's eyes were attracted by the wind in the distance, and it was obvious that he had lost his patience.

This kind of explanation is too detailed, and it may not be necessary in other battle groups.But in the battle group of Space Wolves, it is a must-have skill for every long-toothed veteran.

The population of Geinfenris is small, and the reason why the precious "new blood" of the wolves is called "Blood Claw" is because this group of soldiers who are red-eyed when they fight don't know what to retreat.

If there is no strict discipline to control these young wolves, they will only sacrifice their blood to the wolf god in the north wind while hunting the first prey.

"Have a bite, Dad? Just have a bite..." Finally, after Helm stopped talking, Marsh licked his face and leaned in front of the old wolf.

And the old wolf also knew that this little guy should be rewarded appropriately, so after carefully counting his inventory, he tore off a piece of tobacco in his hand with great distress.

"Stop!" He looked at Marsh who was happily preparing tobacco, and then said seriously:

"Little brat, you can use this thing, but I have two requirements, either you can come back alive and smoke it in front of my face;

Or, you can only use it as a reserve after your hormones run out.can you do it? "

"Yes!" Marsh happily agreed, anyway, the thing is in his hands, how to use it is his business.

And Helm obviously understood this truth. He looked at the cub seriously for a few seconds, until the latter's ears were about to drop, and then he slapped the thing in Marsh's hand heavily. Then he turned around and left a sentence before leaving:

"Little boy, come back alive."
