Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 730 07.729: "Scarlet Letter Hunting (asking for monthly ticket)"

At this time, the Space Marines that appeared in front of Horatio were the remaining standard Astartes of the Thousand Sons Legion - the Rubric Warriors.

They are a group of pathetic sacrifices.

Or rather, this was a cruel joke that fate played on the Thousand Sons.

Under the destruction of Ahriman's erroneous red spell, the flesh of their compatriots gradually dissipated in severe pain and turned into ashes, and they also lost their consciousness forever.

However, their souls were ruthlessly imprisoned within the empty power armour, forever becoming tools of Tzeentch's evil plans.

Although these Red Letter Warriors act in secret, they are ultimately unable to completely break free from the constraints of the laws of the physical universe.

Not far from them, there must be a Thousand Sons wizard controlling them.

Without the guidance of the Thousand Sons Sorcerers, they would only remain in a state of indifference to everything, or mechanically execute the last order they received.

It was obvious that the puppets would not decide to pursue Thei on their own, not to mention that they were introduced via an obviously carefully calculated teleportation spell.

Just as the two red-letter warriors were about to attack Thei, wielding their gleaming Hopsh scimitars, a black-armored warrior with long bone blades on his arms rushed out from the darkness like lightning.

He stood in front of the Inquisitor without hesitation. Two bone spurs shot out from different directions, blocking the fierce attacks of the two scimitars with incredible accuracy, and he fought two enemies alone.

At this time, Horatio also keenly noticed the shooter on the high ground through his bird's eye view.

He was a silver bullet shooter wearing a dog-ear helmet. At this moment, he was aiming steadily at the heads of the two red-letter warriors at the same time.

boom!
With a gunshot, a silver arrow whizzed out from the barrel of the gun, drawing a killing line in the air that pierced through two heads.

The two heads were blown away by the silver bullets and fell to the ground with sparkling fluorescent sand. The young judge was able to escape from danger and continue to retreat to a safe area.

The Black Shield Archer who was covering the Inquisitor from a high point succeeded in his attack and then quickly stood up and moved away.

However, on his retreat route, four Thousand Sons Red Letter Warriors had already used strange and evil magic to instantly appear in front of him.

"Our flesh and blood are loyal to the Emperor! And you can only be trapped in this armor and tortured forever! Die, Ash Traitor!"

A jumping bag warrior suddenly jumped into the air from below, holding a huge power thunder hammer in his hand. Electric light flickered on the hammer handle, and a dark blue fluorescent decomposition force field was jumping on the glowing hammer body, exuding a deadly breath.

Boom!

He swooped down like a falling meteor with tremendous force, and smashed his hammer heavily in the middle of the four red-letter warriors.

In an instant, a deep sunken hole was smashed into the ground, and the four red-letter warriors were knocked to the ground by the powerful impact, raising a cloud of dust.

"Arabella, the Thousand Sons are hunting Inquisitor Thei, but they haven't discovered us yet.

We can seize this opportunity." Horatio lowered his voice and said to Arabella beside him.

"To deal with these heretics, we must strike directly at their vital points. If we can find the wizards who control these puppets, we can launch a crucial decapitation operation."

Arabella responded as she crouched beside Horatio, bolter in hand, analyzing her surroundings.

"These elusive guys are blessed with evil magic. The heretic Astartes are already difficult to deal with, not to mention that these guys can flash in an instant.

After determining the target, I need the help of your faith." Horatio said.

"Like on the plague ship?" Arabella's brows relaxed slightly, and her thoughts instantly returned to the experience three years ago.

At that time, she was still a young medical nun who had just been promoted from a novice nun. Three years had passed in a flash.

"Yes, just like on the plague ship."

Horatio raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said affirmatively, "You put the holy light in the face of that traitor, and then I will kill him."

Arabella had witnessed Horatio's terrifying power in single combat and killing a Khorne Space Marine in the Battle of the Maiden Cathedral. Therefore, she had no doubts about Horatio's individual combat ability.

Ordinary people cannot become saints, and those who can become saints are never ordinary people. "Okay, I will deploy the sisters and the Imperial Guards to attack those red letter warriors and create an opportunity for you to behead the wizard." Arabella nodded and began to quickly think about the details of the battle plan.

on the ground.

"Hasn't contact been established with the 1313th Infantry Regiment yet?" Listening to the report from the messenger, Farida raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Louise with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

"Horatio has gone underground. The 1313th Infantry Regiment will participate in the underground offensive."

Louise said: "According to the plan, they will suddenly attack from the junction of the middle and lower nests and attack the city."

"I see. He must be underground preparing for an attack."

After listening to Louise's report, Farida's heart went from being uneasy and worried to being full of confidence again.

"The goal of our 1314th Infantry Regiment is to cooperate with the 1118th Infantry Regiment and the 1124th Infantry Regiment to capture the South City Gate! We will attack diagonally to the right of the city gate at the same time as the other two infantry regiments.

This time is very different from the previous ones! Thanks to the arrival of reinforcements from the assault regiment, we have..."

Farida, who had forgotten her words, glanced at the name on the briefing with her green eyes and continued, "We have the indestructible Gorgon armored personnel carrier!

These war monsters walking on the earth are like the huge prehistoric beast Gorgon, capable of carrying thousands of soldiers, protecting us with solid and heavy armor, and charging towards the city gate! "

She used a telescopic cane made from a golden bust of Horatio to push the Gorgon troop carrier chess piece on the sand table, slowly advancing towards the towering city gate.

It is said that the design of this vehicle was inspired by the coastal landing craft and is also operated by three members.

It is a huge vehicle shaped like a front-opening landing craft, which relies on two hydraulic transmission rods to retract and extend the heavy armored springboard.

The only difference between it and the littoral landing craft is that it has wide and strong tracks on both sides instead of propellers.

"The troop carrier will open the landing platform in front 200 meters in front of the city gate, and our soldiers will pour out of it like a tide, accompanied by the Gorgon armored personnel carriers to attack the city gate. This will allow us to retain a large number of manpower during the attack."

"That's true if the APC isn't hit directly by defensive fire from above."

Louise reminded him that Cadia also had Gorgon assault vehicles, after all, and she knew that these vehicles were not absolutely invulnerable.

The enemy has set up minefields and has artillery fire from high above, so the top armor of any vehicle is relatively weak.

How to arrange the offensive sequence and coordinate with the advancing armored forces is a land warfare skill that requires long-term training.

"We will have all the infantry board the Gorgon, and then advance directly with the armored forces."

"No, Inspector Hood."

Louise shook her head and pointed her white-gloved finger at the armored vehicle chess piece: "The Leman Russ and the Baneblade both travel at 18 kilometers per hour when traveling off-road, and even slower when crossing lines and trenches.

If we do not have accompanying infantry, these armors will be vulnerable to sneak attacks and ambushes by the heretics, and will suffer damage when they run over the enemy's defensive positions under the city gates."

"Hmm." Farida curled her lips and pinched her pointed chin in thought. What Louise said did make sense.

"Then, we can disperse by squad and follow the armored assault. I think they have their own mechanized infantry to provide cover.

Well, let me make the following arrangements..."

Farida lay in front of the sand table and began to deduce the progress of the battle with Louise. Louise stood in the enemy's perspective and countered Farida's plan with a more professional perspective.

Louis mercilessly found loopholes in many of the assumed battle plans and rejected them at the deduction stage. Farida's face turned red with anger, like a ripe apple.

But she did not become discouraged or give up. She neither waited for Louise's advice nor pushed the matter to the staff.

Instead, he racked his brains to come up with countermeasures against Louise's countermeasures again, and he actually succeeded in coming up with some effective strategies to deal with Louise through his own independent thinking.

In this way, the two girls deduced tirelessly until the sun gradually sank below the horizon.

However, the dark underground was not affected by the sunrise and sunset at all and was still dead silent.
