Warhammer: This Galen's Heart of Steel

Chapter 73: The Wolves Are Destroyed, and the Wolf King Dies

Alpha Battle Moon.

just now.

When the hazy psychic film covering the surface of the battle moon was forcibly torn open by the firepower of the Imperial fleet, tens of thousands of landing capsules were launched from the two Primarchs' flagships. The dense number formed a thick cloud of steel in the sky. The roaring battle cries of the Astartes were like rolling thunder, and their eyes hungry for victory were the sharpest lightning.

The skinny newborns among the orc troops on the surface, those whose Waaagh force field energy was not yet fully utilized, were intimidated by the huge and awe-inspiring aura pressing down from the sky.

boom--!
The landing capsule crashed into the greenskin tide, and the Iron Warriors waved their weapons to kill the greenskin guys surrounding the landing capsule like chopping melons and vegetables.

Fat mixed with flesh and blood dried on their armor, corpses piled up at their feet, and the greenskins rushed towards this army made of steel without fear of life and death. Being able to bite off a piece of carapace the size of a fingernail was a victory for these cannon fodder greenskins.

Behind the cannon fodder troops are the stronger greenskin leader troops, and the greenskin wizards deployed behind the leader troops.

After two years of fighting, the Greenskins have learned their lesson. They no longer deploy Greenskin Wizards to attack range against Greenskin Titans. They are now more like a long-range support force, standing at the back of the battlefield, coordinating with the leaders and Greenskin mechas to attack those Astartes who rush to the front of the battlefield.

When the psykers in the Space Marines wanted to use their abilities to explore the enemy's detailed strategic deployment, they were directly attacked by a huge "Waaagh!" energy, causing several people to go crazy and die.

But it was also through such losses that the Empire learned where its target was. This powerful "Waaagh!" force came from a huge and strange orc palace.

After determining the location of the greenskin warlord, Galen led an elite assault team to break into the palace. The 2nd Company of the Fearless Vanguard led by the Archangel and the Luna Wolves led by Horus were like two sharp razors, cutting off the greenskin troops that surrounded the assault team.

Garen took the lead and rushed to the front of the team. Wherever he passed, terrifying psychic flames appeared out of nowhere, burning everything around him that was hostile to him.

He was like the god of death descending from the underworld, ruthlessly reaping the greenskin troops. He was also like the strongest shield in the world, protecting the soldiers behind him from the powerful greenskin weapons.

The devastating electromagnetic cannon bombarded the world, and everything turned to nothing wherever the electromagnetic beam passed. Garen jumped with his knees bent, rushing to the direction of the beam attack at a very fast speed, and used his indestructible body with amazing recovery ability to block the death scythe swung at the Astartes.

The Luna Wolves warriors led by Abaddon were also members of the decapitation squad. When the Primarch used his body to resist the horrific electromagnetic weapon, he was stunned in place.

He couldn't believe that the god-like figure charging at the front of the team was really a Primarch, and not a god walking on earth like the Emperor.

Abaddon quickly calmed down and took out the gene containment device specially made by the Luna Wolves' pharmacists. Under the cover of the Luna Wolves warriors, Abaddon hacked his way through and finally caught up with the Primarch.

Everyone was immersed in the fierce and brutal battle, and no one noticed Abaddon's abnormal behavior.

On the ground, a small piece of the Primarch's flesh and blood mixed with metal debris was collected into the container by the peculiarly shaped instrument. Abaddon showed a "cunning" smile on his face.

One step closer to uncovering the secret of the second Primarch.

the other side.

Horus's comms channel lit up, and Abaddon's voice came from within the armor.

"My Lord, the genes of your Primarch brother have been acquired."

Hearing this, Horus, who was fighting with a powerful green mecha, smiled. Just as he was distracted, an unrivaled force grabbed his body and pulled him over.

A hard drill rumbled as visible air currents swirled around it. Once the Primarch was hit in the spine by the drill filled with Waaagh energy, his power armor with amazing defense would be broken, and Horus would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Swah——

A nimble and graceful figure swept across the battlefield, white feathers circling in the sky, at a speed that was astonishing.

The flaming blade slashed down, severing the steel mechanical arm that was holding Horus.

Horus was thrown high into the sky, he fell, and managed to adjust his position at the last moment without any danger.

With a loud bang, the impact of the fall created a big hole in the ground, and Horus landed on one knee.

He clenched the warhammer in his hand, and the power to decompose all things flashed on the hammer. Although the two Primarchs were working together for the first time, they cooperated with incredible tacit understanding at this moment.

The black hammer hit the mecha's torso hard, and the flaming blade cut off its skull. This powerful green-skinned mecha was easily knocked down by the combined attack of the two primarchs.

Looking at the archangels flying around the battlefield to provide support, Horus' eyes showed admiration.

Horus believed that if the Wolf King had not interfered, he and Sanguinius would have become the best of brothers.

However, Sanguinius and the Second Primarch seem to be too close, and if he wants to capture the Archangel, he must first win over his good friend Galen.

or.
Orc Palace.

The Fearless Vanguard and the Moon Wolf Legion's elite assault team broke through the enemy's shackles with fearless sacrifice and outstanding combat, and finally arrived at the decisive place of this battle.

The assault team stopped in front of a huge door that was twenty meters high and made of pure steel.

Abaddon waved his hand, and fierce artillery fire instantly submerged the pure steel door. With a loud "bang", the heavy door slowly fell down, the ground shook, and smoke and dust rose.

The Primarch took the lead and stepped into the strange palace. To the surprise of the soldiers, the hall was empty. Except for an unknown machine that was running "humming", there was no greenskin figure, let alone the greenskin warlord who was eight or nine meters tall.

"what happened?"

The Primarch asked Abaddon beside him.

The battle plan was set by the Luna Wolves, and the location of the greenskin warlord was determined by the Luna Wolves.

But now, the greenskin warlord who was supposed to be beheaded by him inside the hall was nowhere to be seen.

"This shouldn't be the case."

Surprised and stunned, Abaddon turned on the communication channel and harshly rebuked his colleague in charge of intelligence.

But the reply he received was that the psychic responsible for locking onto the position of the greenskin warlord was killed on the spot by the huge "Waaagh!" energy backlash when he was searching for the enemy's detailed strategic deployment.

This means that with the Greenskin Warlord on the Beta Battle Moon, the Space Wolves will be left alone to fight against hundreds of millions of Greenskins and their Warboss without their Anti-Greenskin Titan.

"Oh no." The communication channel lit up.

"More than half of the Space Wolves have been destroyed."

"ATTACK!! STOP THEM!!! STOP THEM!!!"

The accompanying mechanical sage screamed at the top of her lungs, and she urged the crusaders to charge forward, charge forward! Stop those orcs outside the main city!

The Mechanical Magus originally thought it was a simple blocking battle. He led the Skitarii and Space Wolves' Space Marines to the Beta Battle Moon, preparing to confiscate the completed Greenskin technology that could be used for research after destroying the Greenskins.

When the Wolf King arrived at the surface of the planet with the Space Wolves Legion and the Mechanicus Skitarii, they were greeted by a terrifying military force, rolling combat facilities, and tens of thousands of giant orcs, each of them with the sturdy physique of a War Boss and wearing sophisticated armor and weapons and equipment.

Leading this elite orc army is a Super WarBoss that is over ten meters in size, as big as a Warhound Titan, covered in thick combat armor and with giant fangs.

After each battle they win, the Orks grow larger: since they are a Gestalt-like psionic race, winning battles will create psionic fluctuations in the Orks, which will eventually feed back into the Orks' physiology, causing them to grow in size and "evolve" in a sense.

This green-skinned orc named Skullcrusher is a super WarBoss born from billions of green-skinned orcs.

The moment of contact, the two Wolf Lords of the Iron Wolf Company of the Space Wolves, Ezio Iron Wolf and Orwen Gorlo, were killed by the Skullcrusher.

This savage beast tore through the battlefield like a rhino chariot, leaving behind only the severed limbs and shattered pieces of armour of its Space Wolves brethren in its wake.

The powerful mass-blast bombs and various weapons in the hands of the Space Wolves could not hurt it at all. It was a nightmarish creature, far more powerful than the Space Marines. Only the equally powerful Primarchs could contend with it.

The Wolf King of Fenris pounced on the Skullcrusher, which was taller than himself, and the two giants wrestled with each other. Although Leman Russ had great military power, he could not easily subdue the beast in front of him.

The Skullcrusher's massive power claws even cut through the Primarch's armor, but the Wolf King's Siren's Bite was unable to break the red armor filled with massive Waaagh energy worn by the ferocious monster.

As a result of the collision of two indestructible forces, the Space Marines and Skitarii on the sidelines were completely unable to make any impact or help in the battle.

Between Fenris Wolf and Super WariBoss, they are too small.

However, the enemies they have to face should not be underestimated. There are tens of thousands of elite orc troops and psychic boys hiding in the greenskin army. Without the help of anti-greenskin titans, they cannot disrupt the gathered Waaagh energy field.

The already powerful greenskin troops' combat effectiveness increased dramatically with the help of the massive Waaagh energy field.

The beast's blade ruthlessly tore open its body. Wires were entangled with pieces of flesh and blood, piled together in a mess. Fat and blood made them greasy, and rust cheered like moss.

The extraordinary descendants of Leman Russ fell one by one, and one soldier had run out of bullets in his gun chamber, but the speed of the greenskin army rushing towards them did not slow down at all. They rushed towards them in an endless stream, exchanging lives for injuries, and knocked the soldier to the ground. The rusty knife cut his neck, blood gushed out, and his limbs were torn, broken and divided by the greenskins that followed.

The big orc tore off the head of a wolf, crushed the skull under the helmet, and put the exquisite helmet on its ugly head, making it part of the tattered armor.

Looking at the hellish scene, Leman Russ' heart was filled with indelible anger.

Russ understood that they had fallen into the enemy's trap and that this was a massacre of the Space Wolves.

The only chance for his extraordinary offspring to survive is to kill the Super WarBoss in front of them and cut off the Waaagh energy that is constantly gushing out from its center.

The wolf king decided to leave the power of survival to these descendants, because hope never exists in the past, it only exists in the future.

The Wolf King of Fenris gave the order for Bjorn to evacuate quickly with the remaining Space Wolves brothers and the Mechanicus troops.

Bjorn painfully carried out the orders from the Primarch.

With the help of the Luna Wolf brothers, the warriors of the Fearless Vanguard finally escaped from the battle quagmire of Alpha and, under the leadership of the two Primarchs, arrived at the battle moon of Beta.

They saw their Space Wolves brothers huddled in a fortress, stubbornly resisting the Greenskin troops' bombardment.

At this time, the situation in space was extremely bad. Compared with the casualties reported in the communication channel, their losses were further increased during the time they waited for support.

The entire Space Wolves suffered nearly two-thirds of their casualties, and more than half of their company commanders were killed. Bjorn commanded the remaining Space Wolves and Mechanicus Skitarii to make the final resistance.

The arrival of the Dreadnoughts and the Anti-Greenskin Titans relieved their pressure, and the two Primarchs cut a bloody path with one-sided slaughter and climbed up to the fortress where Bjorn was stationed.

Galen looked around and did not see his brother Leman Russ, so he grabbed Bjorn's shoulders and shook him violently.

"Where's Ruth!"

The arrival of his Primarch brothers made Bjorn, who had suffered the death of his Gene-Father and more than half of his brothers killed in battle, unable to hold on to his spirit, which was on the verge of collapse. He knelt on the ground and cried loudly, announcing this fact to the Second Primarch.

"The Primarch has sacrificed himself!"

A few hours ago, in order to leave a way for Bjorn and others to survive, the Wolf King chose to stay alone.

He grabbed Skullcrusher with great force and fell with him into the power core filled with huge Waaagh!!! energy.

The Primarch and the Orks were all engulfed by this violent Ork energy.

The Lord of the Fearless Vanguard suppressed his inner anger, turned and walked out of the fortress, his gloomy eyes filled with the coldness of death, and a majestic shadow that seemed to appear and not appear quietly appeared behind the primarch.

In the forty-eighth millennium, the diary of a fearless vanguard veteran was made public by the Empire. This diary recorded the first scene of the God-King ascending to the divine stage.

".I joined the Dauntless Vanguard at the age of eighteen, and enlisted at the same time as the Primarch. This is the most boastful thing in my life.

The power of the Primarch is absolutely invincible. He is as powerful as a god. I have never seen any negative emotion on his face.

It wasn't until that battle that I saw anger, sadness, or something else for the first time any emotion other than confidence on the Primarch's face.

God's punishment befell Beta II. It was a huge sword held by a giant whose face could not be seen. Half of Beta II was annihilated, and the Battle of the Wheel of Fire, which lasted for two years, ended with the Primarch's sword.

Everything should have ended, and the warriors returned to Terra to enjoy the cheers of victory.

However, the conflict erupted. For the first time in the Empire, civil war broke out between two legions."
