Warhammer: This Galen's Heart of Steel

Chapter 38 Battle Moon
Fire Wheel sub-star region.

just now.

The mighty Astartes Legion led countless Imperial Army warships to the Wheel of Fire sub-sector.

The political commissars of the Astra Militarum felt honored to be able to fight alongside the two sons of God. They spared no effort to inspire the morale of the mortals, hoping to leave a deep impression on the two sons of God.

At the same time, the political commissars also secretly made a decision in their hearts that they would treat this war with the most stringent attitude. Once they found that any mortal in the imperial army had any move to retreat, the punitive bullets would severely punish the retreater in the shortest time possible.

The Hercules Fenr.

An Astartes warrior noticed a sudden change in the gravity of the star field near the Heracleofenr and immediately reported this unusual strangeness.

And at the forefront of the Great Expedition Fleet is an asteroid called Raven III.

This planet is only one twentieth the size of Fenris, with less gravity and a thin atmosphere. The surface temperature is around minus seventy at this time.

The surface is covered with large areas of reddish brown rock, and dark red dust is deposited in slightly low-lying areas. When the breeze blows, the fine dust floats everywhere and drifts dozens of meters into the air.

In some deep crevices of the planet, there are large pieces of reddish ice, and there is some fresh water, but the environment is too harsh for ordinary life, and the entire planet is a lifeless dead star.

Huh. Huh.
Heavy breathing sounds were heard above the ice as a fully armed Astartes tactical team climbed up from the low-lying area of ​​the col. They stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the conditions on the surface of the planet.

"Safe, no signs of orc activity found."

This tactical team, affiliated with the 3rd Company of the Fearless Vanguard, reported this conclusion to their friendly forces after carefully surveying the nearby terrain.

"Got it, we'll move forward."

In a depression below the iceberg, a team of gray-painted Astartes warriors emerged, the howling wolf logo on their shoulder armor clearly indicating their identity.

After crossing the ice field, the wolves came to a lower round hole. This giant hole, which looked like a meteorite crater, was filled with rocks and soil blocks that were different from the red soil structure of this planet.

"We found some anomalies. There were burn marks on these rocks, which seemed to be caused by friction with the atmosphere. These rocks and soil seemed to have been thrown down from low-Earth orbit."

The Astartes reported the anomalies on the planet Raven III to their superior company commander.

At this time, the communication channel was interfered by something unknown, and it was filled with harsh electric current sounds, and communication with the fleet was cut off.

The Astartes raised their weapons and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, guarding against enemies that might appear at any time.

However, what they did not expect was that the enemy this time was not from the surface of the planet, but from the deep space above.

“What is that——!”

An Astartes from the Wolf Regiment was the first to notice something unusual in the sky.

It was an artificial moon that appeared suddenly. What was unbelievable was that this huge object suddenly arrived near Raven III through some advanced transmission technology.

With the appearance of this artificial moon, large-scale gravity anomalies began to appear on the surface and orbit of Raven 3.

The planet itself also began to experience violent geological movements, and this sudden situation dealt a devastating blow to the two Astartes tactical teams that were carrying out missions on the surface.

The Astartes were killed on the surface by the sudden change in the extreme gravity environment and geological structure. The ships hovering in orbit also fell due to the appearance of a giant gravity well.

The two combined tactical teams became the first casualties in the tragic Firewheel sub-sector battle. When the Hercules Finn and the Dreadnought received the last message from the tactical team and rushed over, Raven III had been completely destroyed.

They looked with fury at the cause of the disaster.

A huge artificial moon is opening its bloody mouth and swallowing up the crust, mantle, and minerals and energy contained in Raven III through the giant gravity equipment installed on it.

On the surface of the artificial moon, there is a huge, twisted, weird orc totem made up of countless metal parts.

This is a waaaagh going on among the green orcs!

The gravitational environment changed again. The Fearless Vanguard veteran who had experience fighting against the green-skinned orcs immediately changed his face. He snatched the communication device and shouted to the fleet behind the Dreadnaught.

"Dodge! Dodge quickly!"

But it's still too late.

Those rocks and soil blocks that were regarded as useless were ejected by the battle moon at an extremely fast speed. The horrific damage caused heavy losses to the imperial fleet at the forefront.

The light waves of the explosion continued to flash in the dark space. Maxim punched the control platform angrily. He knew clearly in his heart that every flash of the light waves of the explosion meant that they had lost some brothers.

The fleet in the rear turned around at an extremely fast speed and surrounded the battle moon from both sides. The warships at the front also went at full speed and hid behind two kilometer-class Queen of Glory-class battleships.

"Fire! Shoot!"

The macro cannon mounted on the gunboat opened fire, and the fierce artillery fire bombarded the battle moon, but was blocked by the void shield.

Maxim did not get upset because of this setback. It was just a test attack aimed at depleting the opponent's void shield.

What really determines the outcome is the more brutal boarding battle that follows!
Countless warships and projection cabins flew away from the battle moon like dust. The orcs passed through the protection of the void shield and landed on the deck of the Heracleofen and the Dreadnought.

The orcs came over with a "Waaagh!"

Countless green-skinned orcs rushed over shouting and holding simple weapons. The simplicity of their equipment shocked the Astartes present.

Two thin iron plates and simple electronic components are simply connected by vine-like ropes to create a combat armor worn by orcs.

The weapons are even more varied, with hollow barrels and gun barrels covered with brown rust, simply put together by a few screws. These are the weapons and equipment of the orcs who are a great threat to the empire.

However, these weapons, which are so crude that people doubt whether they can be used normally, have exerted terrifying power under the blessing of the orcs' "Waaagh!" stance.

The Space Marines, wearing exquisite power armor and wielding mighty power swords, fought with these orc boys.

The power sword that can easily cut through solid metal was defeated when it encountered the thin iron armor of the orc boys.

Although the Space Marines held the advantage on the battlefield, the situation was still not looking good. They were unable to expel the endless stream of Greenskin Orks from their Primarch's precious Queen of Glory-class battleships.

As soon as the war began, the enemy army was brought in front of the Primarch, and the wolves felt unprecedented humiliation.

Just when the three orc boys were about to kill a wild wolf, the sharp saw teeth easily sawed the three orcs in half.

The Wolf King has joined the battle!
