Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 461 Black and Red, a Plan in the Shadows (46) The Death of a Knight
Daily (occasional) thought: The victory or defeat of a war is often in an instant, and any tiny detail may determine the outcome.

At the foot of the Evergreen Hill, there are two huge steel groups just like their names, like knights riding horses and holding spears high.As you attack each other on an epic stage, you also submit your destiny to the goddess of destiny.

But unlike the medieval dueling arena, there is never real fairness on the real battlefield.

And it was the sacrifice of the mortal soldiers of the Tindalos Legion that gave these imperial knights that slight advantage in the face of more enemies.

+The distance is 2245m, the target unit has plasma reaction...+
The machine soul of the imperial knight screamed and gave feedback to its driver, while the knight on the Iron Throne surrounded by cables in the heavily armored Titan core closed his eyes tightly, perceiving and controlling this huge giant with all his spirit. steel giant.

"Their ion shields are on the lower side. It takes time to adjust. This is our chance!" The voice of the knight leader mixed with the Titan's machine soul sounded in the communication channel with a hoarse voice that did not resemble a human voice.

The imperial knights of the two families have discovered the enemy's loopholes, so within a few seconds, the machine soul received the driver's order, and the weapon array above the head began to emit steam of preheating circuits and pipelines.

+The distance is 2150m, entering the weapon strike range...+
The Knight Titans continued to move forward, while the six giants in the first row stopped in unison.

The missile launch nests above their heads suddenly flipped up, and the fallen knights at the foot of the mountain were entangled and unable to deal with it.

A total of [-] Stormspear rockets stored in the ammunition were all fired in a triple burst amidst the violent tail flame transpiration.

More than a hundred missiles with scarlet and death-threatening warnings flew closer and closer in the eyes of the knights below, taking advantage of the window where the ion shield angles of the knights below could not be adjusted.

The automatic cannons on the giant's shoulders were firing frantically, trying to intercept these deadly projectiles.

But don't say that it's not easy to intercept such a saturated attack, just say that this is only the first wave of attack by the imperial knights.

After the launch was completed, the giants on the hillside continued to shoot forward with the Hell Cannon, and the subsequent Knight Titans stood at the position where the former had just stopped, and continued to maintain suppressive firepower with more missiles.

At the foot of the mountain, the fallen knights finally cleaned up the threat from the mortals, but the attack from above was already close at hand.

They desperately adjusted the height of the ion shield, but those missiles that drew an arc and were designed to strike at the top had already arrived one step ahead.

The hard metal jet collided with the armor, and the high-energy explosives in the warhead instantly ignited, and the armor-piercing cone, like a long rod, struggled forward to tear apart the obstacles, and then turned into a hot metal jet that penetrated the armor, and then shattered the armor in the armor. The long-decayed flesh was shredded, burned, and finally turned into coke...

All of this happened in a short period of less than ten seconds, and it was just this meeting that twelve members of the steel group of the Godez family lost their lives here.

The following knights began to counterattack, and the two knight titans belonging to the empire also began to suffer casualties on the way of charging.

But after all, they are the one who takes the initiative to attack. Their condescending charge gives them a strong kinetic advantage, and more ranger-type knight titans also give them full convenience in close combat.

The huge giants spread out the chainsaw sword over 5 meters horizontally while running, and after firing the last shell in the barrel, these giants rushed straight into the armor of the Godez family with the terrifying kinetic energy accumulated for two kilometers array.

boom!
Two dense explosions sounded together, and the giant's blade slashed through the waist of the fallen kind.

The sound of metal cracking and the howl of machine spirit rang in his ears, and the moment the ion shield was overloaded, there were armor fragments splashing on his chest.

However, at this time, he had already stepped out of the enemy's shooting range, and at the same time he bumped into another titan knight head-on, the chainsword he swung also harvested another fallen soul.

The same scene appeared on the entire frontal battlefield. The same dozens of giants collided with hundreds of tons of steel with their icy will, and once again reproduced the scene of medieval heavy knights attacking the enemy with their own strength.

The enemy's resistance is still continuing, but more and more knights are following up...

The array belonging to the Chaos Knights on the battlefield was gradually torn apart, penetrated, and then divided and surrounded.

There are fewer and fewer black and red paints on the battlefield, while the golden and blue giants of the Empire are more and more common.

The enemy finally collapsed. Under the covering firepower of the Titan Legion in the rear, the remaining Knight Titans slowly retreated to the main formation.

The imperial knights who tried to chase after harvested some broken demons and fallen knights, and retreated to the foot of the mountain under the cover of the imperial position, dragging their sacrificed comrades and damaged titans back to their positions.

On the position halfway up the mountain, the giants responsible for long-range support were still shooting, while the surviving Tindalos soldiers at the foot of the mountain were looking up at this apocalyptic heroic scene in the trenches full of gunpowder smoke and war...

"We won?" A young knight asked in a daze.

It was the first time he stepped into the battlefield after completing the armor ceremony, and he participated in this apocalyptic battle.And this bloodiest and tragic exchange between giants made it difficult for him who thought he was the master of war to accept it.

"No." Another older knight steered the titan, dragging the remnant of the deceased family leader past him.

He pointed to the distant sound of cannons on the mountain peak above his head, and then looked at the Titan Legion that was approaching at the end of his vision in the distance:
"This is just the beginning..."
-
Yes, although this war was tragic enough in the eyes of the parties involved, it was still just an inconspicuous wave in the grand torrent of war for the entire Moro planet and even the entire empire.

And for Calvin, who was in charge of the war on the entire Moro planet, and even the entire Jamoro sector, this seemingly tragic battle was nothing more than an episode in the early stages of the collision between the two huge legions from the overall perspective.

He didn't even have time to pay attention to how many sacrifices the soldiers had made here, and how difficult it was to hold this position.

Because the Word Bearers, as a legion that has passed through the era of the Great Crusade, their souls have fallen into corruption, but their force will only become stronger under the favor of the gods.

This position of less than five kilometers is only part of the Chaos attack under the Evergreen Hill, and in other directions, the soldiers of the empire are also facing more fierce attacks from demons and fallen Astartes.

Calvin no longer had any reserve troops in his hands, except for a hundred sea wolves who were resting in the rear with their wounded, and even the Gray Knights participated in the counterattack against the Word Bearers.

With the footsteps of the Lords of Murder entering the battlefield, the only thing Calvin can rely on is the psychic titan who has followed him for many years—the Imperial Commissar, and the sword in his own hand.
