Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 456 Black and Red, the Plan in the Shadows (41) Returns, the Bloody Lucapaglia
This battle is undoubtedly an extremely bold plan. Its planning and execution even directly involved the war situation of the two fleets on the orbit.

After learning of the plan, the decision-makers headed by the wolf lord Hoffman expressed great praise for Tindalos' boldness.

And it was also under his impetus that the entire fleet belonging to the Empire also used an unexpected counterattack in the ensuing war to firmly contain the main force of the Word Bearers fleet.

Therefore, the conditions for the execution of this counterattack were completely mature, and after losing the deadly threat of orbital bombing overhead, the armored troops of the Tindalos Legion rushed from the sides of the battlefield to the center 24 hours after the battle started.

tick... tick...

Dark red blood dripped down the gorgeous blade, and everyone in the dark meeting hall was silent, while the head of the commander of this battle opened his eyes and looked at the void unwillingly.

It was a shameful defeat, though all the Word Bearers lost were a few mortal servants destined to be sacrificed.

But this is also an unbearable failure, because standing on the opposite side of the chess game and leading this defeat is also the weak mortal who the noble Astartes despise the most.

"120 million people, 3 hours, even the dead..."

The head pastor quietly opened his eyes, and broke the silence in the dark hall with a sneering voice.

On the holographic projection, the hustle and bustle on the battlefield on the ground has ended, and the soldiers of the empire have completed the division and strangulation of the battlefield. At this time, they have retreated safely under the cover of the main formation.

He stretched out the scepter in his hand to imprison the loser's soul from the void, then looked at the unconscious guy who had been tortured by him, and asked word by word:

"Also... shouldn't be cleaned up within three hours? Then why do you want to withdraw the remaining 30 people? How did you have the face to come back?"

However, no one was destined to answer his question.

Because no one is willing to offend Erebus at this time, even the knights and generals who have been in high positions for a long time.And the person who was really qualified to answer his question was pulled out by him at this time.

Uh... A silent howl came from the eyes and mouth of the soul that suddenly opened, and the dark apostles present were silent.

The head pastor walked slowly back to his seat, and on the scepter in his hand, the face of that soul appeared vaguely...

"Notify Zalat and let his people take over the battlefield. And remember to contact the Lord of Murder. According to their contract with my lord, it's time for them to contribute."

Erebus ordered in a low voice, and then took out a piece of thorny gear with an eight-pointed star from his pocket and handed it to the general.

And the general on the right got up and obeyed, took the token in Erebus's hand, and walked towards the aircraft deck of the battleship.

A few hours later, there were again patches of meteors falling in orbit.

The generals of the Tindalos Legion on the ground watched solemnly, while the sea wolves quietly wiped the guns in their hands.

They all know that this is the enemy's revenge, and it is also the enlistment that the enemy really begins to end after learning the lesson.

Those death claws rubbed and burned by the atmosphere may be just meteors in the eyes of mortals.

But in the eyes of the son of Russ, who has the nerve to strengthen his vision, it is the core armed force of the Word Bearers Headquarters, that is, those fallen Astartes who have been trapped in the embrace of chaos for thousands of years, finally, an hour after the battle was blocked appeared later.

The ground of Moro Star was once again covered by artillery fire, and this was only the prelude to the start of the battle.

From the perspective on the orbit, the ruins of the city-state of Lupaclia at this moment are covered with clouds of smoke from shells.

And the Word Bearers on the Chaos side, after the rebel legion pressed forward again, under the cover of airships and super-heavy tanks, began to infiltrate towards the position of the Tindalos legion.

From the first moment the war started, it entered a state of incandescence.

Under the spur of the Word Bearers Headquarters, millions of rebel legions rushed to the positions of the imperial soldiers one after another.

On the front line of the Tindalos Legion, the red bullets brought by the hell gun and the logging gun shot out in patches, and then after knocking down one enemy after another, they had to fall silent because of the intense heat, and then entered the most brutal battle. hand-to-hand combat.

On the rear position, the artillery fire used to break the enemy's assembly also came and went, completely ignoring the enemy's equal artillery countermeasures.And the enemy's fighter planes and artillery fire followed one after another, and pieces of artillery shells smashed into these positions, making these veterans stay on this land forever amidst roars.

The sea wolves fought the Word Bearers in more than a dozen positions, and both sides suffered obvious battle losses during the fierce exchange of fire.

After the Hell Beast (magic-modified Dreadnought Armor) and the Blessed Sons appeared on the battlefield later, they had no heavy weapons due to emergency mobilization, let alone the Dreadnought Seawolves of the Awakened Battlegroup, so they had to pay heavy casualties. Back away.

Lucapaglia's position is being eroded, and the Tindalos Legion is limited to frontal pressure, unable to do anything about the corrupted Astartes that have emerged as a system.

They can only countercharge the armored units that are in need of rest after the war in some key positions.

The sea wolves fought and retreated, using the bolt guns in their hands to delay the Word Bearers' footsteps as much as possible. On the battlefield in the rocky canyon, they also cooperated with two knight families to send a team of more than a hundred The Word Bearers Warband was wiped out here.

But this does not change the overall situation, because the Astartes, as the unit with the strongest firepower density in the empire, their greatest value on the battlefield is reflected in this anxious situation.

And even though the Space Wolves tried their best, they still couldn't change the huge gap in the number of Astartes and equipment between the two sides.

The empire's position is slowly being dismembered. More than [-] Word Bearers are in different positions, taking advantage of their powerful firepower and narrow deployment width to split the connection between the battlefields.

However, the Tindalos Legion is just mortals after all. When they face the same number of Astartes, the width and thickness of the battlefield they need has become an unattainable condition at this time.

The war is heading for failure, and everyone knows that their efforts are just delaying the arrival of this time as much as possible.

boom!
It was another deflagration weapon shot from the hell beast, and Edro rushed out of the bunker with the flames on his body.

This kind of iron lump, which is equivalent to the dreadnought armor, but far more crazy than the former, caused Edro and his brothers to suffer a lot in the previous encounter.

The former at least still has reason and can be scared off by suppressive firepower.

And the latter is completely lunatic after stepping into the battlefield, wantonly dumping firepower, seems to be the whole meaning of existence of this demonic engine, the concrete bunker several meters thick, under the blow of detonation weapons, has only the fate of being burnt through in an instant .

The squad had taken out two similar units, and three times as many Corrupted Astartes, but in return they had also cost the lives of three warriors in the battle.

But at this time, they did not feel relaxed, because ten kilometers behind them was the junction of the positions of the two Tindalos infantry regiments, and ten kilometers further back were the supplies and battlefield hospitals of this legion.

There is no room for them to retreat, otherwise, at the speed of these fellow Astartes, ten kilometers is the distance that can be reached with a prayer before the battle.

Several wild wolves looked at each other across the bunker and the trench, and they all saw similar determination in each other's eyes.

It's time for the final battle, it's time to return to the arms of Ruth and the All-Father...

Edro, as the only remaining veteran of this team, took the lead to pick up his weapon and stand up to attract firepower, and the remaining soldiers also tacitly took out the last few grenades, ready to find possible gaps, and use them to fight against the threatening man. The hellbeast makes an honorable death together.

Bang bang bang!

The heavy rain of bullets from the heavy-duty bolter swept across Edro's chest with the icy sliding sound of the barrel of the revolver. The sharp pain in the chest and the dense warnings in the eyepiece let Edro know that this short period of time belonged to him. This is probably the end of my life.

"For the whole father and Russ!" He roared loudly, using his last strength to press the gun in his hand against the rock in front of him, and then pressed the trigger to the end.

The comrades behind him also jumped out from their respective positions, and rushed towards the evil existence with bloodshot eyes.

hum!
The familiar sound of psychic lightning rang in Edro's ears, and in his disbelieving eyes, a portal composed of thunder was born from the void.

The intense white light instantly blinded everyone on the battlefield, and the next moment the enhanced nerves on the pupils and pupil membranes were activated, a group of tall gray knights surrounded a more burly giant and appeared on the battlefield.
