Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 411 05.0410: "The huge dark shadow over Planet Far"

"Sir! The green boulder is rushing towards us!" The lookout officer on the star fortress reported urgently in a hoarse voice.

"Fire...fire!" The Star Fortress Commander shouted stutteringly with a pale face.

The shells fired by the ring-shaped macro-cannon array just hit the huge rock, splashing up a cloud of rubble. The next moment, the huge asteroid slammed into the star fortress with unstoppable force. The outer ring part that was hit collapsed and shattered in an instant, and the relative position of the entire star fortress showed a visible deflection.

"what!!"

The violent collision and tremor were accompanied by the creaking sound of the platinum skeleton unable to bear the heavy weight. Almost all the survivors in the star fortress were knocked unconscious, and many of them had their hands and feet broken and their heads shattered.

The carrier-based aircraft in the hangar suddenly became like a pile of toys that had been kicked and piled together haphazardly, with broken wings, and crookedly emitting electric sparks and pungent smell of promethium fuel.

Several bloodstains of varying shades were smeared on the flight deck. Among the ground crew and pilots who were preparing for the attack, at least hundreds of people were killed or injured in the collision.

A corner extending from the outside of the hexagonal star fortress was directly knocked down, and the Gothic church structure above was completely damaged and collapsed, turning into a drifting space ruin.

Even though the booster engine had been turned on, the star fortress was knocked out of its original orbit by the rock and continued to move backwards.

"Commander! The greenskins are trying to push the Star Fortress onto the gravity well and smash it into the ground!"

The officers in the star fortress desperately sent a distress signal to the commander of the Karl-Duniyash fleet.

On the surface of the planet Far, it was just an ordinary day amidst the days of war.

"God Emperor, that is... a star fortress?"

A British lieutenant stationed in an occupied anti-aircraft fortress raised his binoculars, stared carefully at a growing black spot in the blue sky, and whispered uncertainly.

The sound of artillery fire came from afar, just as it had been during the past few months on the planet Farr, day after day, year after year. However, today, it seemed that something different was about to happen.

"Sir! Something's happening!"

The second lieutenant shouted to Sir Wellesley who was observing the battle situation in the distance. Ever since he was dismissed from the rank of brigadier general in the army and relieved of his post as commander of the 1st Brigade and transferred to guard this "Cannon Mountain", he has been depressed like this almost every day, and a smile rarely appears on his face.

The soldiers nearby were whispering and discussing, trying to find out what was happening in the sky.

Under the guidance of the second lieutenant, he turned the artillery telescope and looked up at the sky.

"How did the star fortress get so close to the surface? What happened in the void?" he muttered to himself, remembering the last time he met that Imperial Navy captain, who had said that there was an enemy in the void.

The black spot continued to grow larger, and soon, he could follow the dazzling star fortress engine in the camera and see the giant rock asteroid that was tightly attached to the star fortress and constantly pushing this ancient creation into the planet's low-Earth orbit.

At this moment, a word subconsciously flashed through Sir Wellesley's mind.

destroy!

Once the star fortress really hits the ground, I'm afraid that the continent beneath my feet will be shattered into pieces!

Well, the continents might not break up too much, but they are certainly screwed.

"God-Emperor above... that asteroid is about to push the star fortress to the surface of the planet! Artillery! Report on the repair of the orbital defense cannon!"

"The regiment's technical priests are still working on repairs, but the turret can already rotate within 120 degrees!"

Sir Wellesley made a quick gesture and a 120-degree turn would bring the asteroid into range.

"Artillery! Operate the orbital defense cannon and follow my orders!
Connecting to the General Staff, this is the N11 Orbital Defense Fortress. I'm Arthur Wellesley, the fortress commander. My unit has observed that the orbital defense star fortress has been hit by an asteroid with an engine and is being pushed into the planet's low-Earth orbit. It is currently at risk of crashing.

If it falls, the consequences will be disastrous. Request the order to fire!"

When the General Staff received this news, all the generals were stunned.

Amid the orders to call on the observation department to verify again and the explosive discussions, the generals of the Astra Militarum hurriedly sent a communication to Brigadier General Andrew, the commander of the Carl Dunyash fleet guarding the orbit of the satellite.

The Mars-class battlecruiser that was in the process of calling up arms no longer cared about the original plan, and directly changed its course and opened fire at the huge rock that was colliding with the star fortress.

After the Imperial Navy confirmed the threat posed by the green rock, the General Staff issued firing orders to all surrounding anti-aircraft fortresses that could hit the green rock.

"Elevation angle 76 degrees! Distance 462 kilometers! Double the normal ammunition! Lead time..."

The artillery officer observed the target through the scope while poking and clicking on the Ballistic Thinker to report the parameters. Hundreds of artillerymen served this huge cannon, and the majestic twin anti-aircraft cannon pointed straight to the sky.

Giant artillery shells that are dozens of meters high, like cathedrals, are placed into the shell rack with the help of a special crane, and then stuffed into the gun barrel by a telescopic shell hoist.

The acceleration coil transmits a buzzing electromagnetic sound.

"Sir, the shells are loaded!"

"The coil is charging normally!"

The surface plowed by the artillery fire of both sides was full of craters and scorched earth, and the land of Far Star looked a little desolate at the moment.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled, but this was not a natural weather phenomenon.

Rather, it is a weather phenomenon caused by the full-load impact of the star fortress's boosters and the drag of the gravity well.

As the star fortress was pushed closer to low-Earth orbit, more and more Astra Militarum soldiers noticed this ominous sign and stared nervously at the giant structure in the sky.

"God, if that thing falls down, everything will be over..."

The soldiers gripped their laser guns tightly, sweat streaming down their foreheads, their hearts beating violently in their chests.

Most of them already knew that the greenskin craft, those rough-hewn monsters of stone and metal, were carrying orbital star fortresses and trying to push them down to the ground to destroy human defenses.

But there was nothing they could do. Apart from the help of the Imperial Navy and the captured orbital bombardment cannons, the Imperial Army had almost no weapons that could prevent this tragedy.

Lieutenant Colonel Wellesley stared at the majestic dark shadows in the sky and recalled the legends of Britain's past.

There was a civil war in Britain during which rebels allied with Chaos Cults used a very large airship to bombard loyalist cities for a considerable period of time.

Since then, the "fear of airships" has become a shadow in the hearts of generations of British people, and even became a material for parents to scold their children for not turning off the lights and going to bed on time. If they don't go to bed, the evil airship will take the disobedient children away.

And now, the huge shadow with different shape but the same effect has appeared over the heads of the British again, inspiring fear in the hearts of everyone.

"We must overcome... overcome, the fear of these evil spirits." The Jazz muttered to himself, then came to his senses and took a deep breath.

"Fire!!!" He held the command knife and swung it down loudly.

The artillerymen outside the firing group covered their ears and ran to a safe area. In the firing room, the brave warriors wearing heavy shock-proof and sound-proof clothing pressed the fire button.

boom!boom!
The mountain shook violently, and the whole earth trembled.

On the battle line a hundred kilometers away, the enemy and our troops who were fighting were unaware of the situation and were suddenly thrown to the ground, with their vehicles rolling off the road.

Multiple fortresses on the ground opened fire at the same time, and shells with a caliber comparable to that of super-heavy cannons smashed into the huge rocks in the sky.

After a few seconds that seemed an eternity, the bottom of the rock was torn apart by the gushing flames.

Large pieces of asteroid fragments scattered and turned into meteorites that hit the earth of Far Star.

The expected landing point was the industrial zone of the eastern continent, where the Chaos rebels were still building up defenses with the help of militarized factories, trying to stop the Astra Militarum troops that would be approaching in a few days.

When a tremor as if the entire planet was burning was heard in the air, the Chaos rebels who were building fortifications looked up and saw thousands of flaming meteors falling from the sky, with flashing kumquat flames cutting through the curtain.

Many small asteroid fragments, about one or two meters in diameter, were directly destroyed by friction with the atmosphere, but the larger fragments fell to the ground with sparks and high temperatures, just like the excommunication that the Lord brought down on the mortal world and destroyed the earth in the legend of the Book of Revelation.

The entire sky was dyed scarlet by the flames. Meteorites as large as more than ten meters in diameter smashed into the factory buildings and the positions built by the rebels. The heretics screamed as they were crushed by the collapsed building wreckage and burned into charred corpses by the flames.

The survivors rushed into factories, but although many factory buildings were strong enough to withstand air raids, they could not withstand the meteorites falling from the sky. Many factory warehouses that were regarded as solid defensive strongholds were brutally pierced through by meteorites.

Those who wanted to survive had to seek shelter in deeper underground structures.
