Warhammer in a box

Chapter 282 Astartes and the Ancient Superman

Conventional Nurgle troops may no longer pose such a huge threat to these human soldiers who have changed their uniforms, but the reason why the evil god is called the evil god is that he always has some incomprehensible means. The evil god Nurgle's irresistible plague and the Nurgle magic released by the Chaos wizards are the biggest threat, and have caused the most serious casualties among the soldiers.

Although the soldiers were equipped with gas masks and other equipment, they had to face more plague with every distance they advanced. The closer they were to the former center of Marienburg, the higher the concentration of the plague.

There are a large number of zombie corpses piled up outside the city. No matter whether they are zombies or demons, after being killed, their filthy blood or chaos magic will cause the ground beneath their feet to fall into deeper chaos corrosion. This forces the infantry to constantly use flamethrowers to clear the way forward. However, even if the corruption of the land and the plague in the air are reduced as much as possible, Nurgle's evil magic still exists.

Just advancing to 2 kilometers outside the city wall, the troops found themselves in a hospital behind the scenes where nearly a thousand soldiers had fallen ill from various plagues.

The number of casualties due to injuries has reached one-tenth!

Doctors, priests, and a small number of priests of the goddess of life, Shaya, who came here on their own initiative, are trying their best to cure the diseases of these soldiers. As the mortal enemy of the evil god Nurgle, the goddess of life's priests will take the initiative to help wherever Nurgle's influence appears. However, these plagues are not ordinary plagues, and conventional treatments can only contain them but not cure them.

If the source is not addressed, the plagues caused by these evil practices will never be resolved.

The power of Nurgle is too deadly for ordinary soldiers. Their equipment may have changed, but their bodies are still mortal.

Gurman attempted to have his artillery fire directly cover Marienburg and destroy all Nurgle forces.

However, the Chaos Rift had already been moved, and without precise target guidance, it was impossible to win the war by relying on artillery fire.

The demons will not die completely under this power. As long as the rift exists, the demons can continue to arrive in this world.

Everyone in the command post was still discussing countermeasures.

The final conclusion was to once again organize an elite strike force to find the location of the Chaos Fissure and mark it, and then use countless artillery fire to completely destroy the Chaos Fissure.

Soon all the strong men in the army were gathered together.

Ludwig, Rognar and the four Ultramarines around him, Milia and another Battle Sister, and the remaining fifty Krieg soldiers.

As an E-Great Demon, Ludwig is not afraid of the Nurgle plague, and the Ultramarines, Battle Sisters and the remaining Krieg soldiers have all had complete 40k equipment since they came into this world.

The power armor of the Space Marines, the force feedback armor of the Sisters of Battle, and the gas masks of the Krieg soldiers can allow them to survive and fight in this plague for a certain period of time. The other team, the 50 Blood Knights led by Laun, have also been ready for battle behind Marienburg.

The system of the Holy Grail Knights was already able to support them in fighting the plague, and after being strengthened, their ability in this regard became even stronger.

The two teams will attack Marienburg at the same time, and the regular troops will once again launch a round of saturation strikes to clear the way for them.

The commandos boarded the Thunderhawk, and after urgent repairs by the priests, the Thunderhawk was able to take off again, but the traces of hasty repairs on the outer shell made it look a little unsightly.

The Thunder Eagle took off quickly, and on the other side, Lawen, who was holding a communicator in his hand, also received the message.

"Knights of the God-Emperor, the city of this empire has been devoured by the Chaos God. It is time to show the glory of the God-Emperor. For the God-Emperor, for Bretonnia!"

Lawen put down his mask and rode his warhorses towards Marienburg with 50 Holy Blood Knights.

The Thunder Eagle was the first to reach the sky. The crew members stared at the screen in front of them motionlessly. The chaos magic sensing device made by the priest was searching for the place with the most concentrated chaos magic.

Rogna was also observing from the side. The battle could not rely solely on instruments. Rogna was using his rich combat experience to try to find out where the enemy was hiding.

However, another picture quickly attracted everyone on the plane. Rogner's eyes also fluctuated.

A team of knights on horseback actually broke through the outer defenses of the Nurgle demons and rushed directly into the city.

Their swords were burning with flames, and their superhuman physiques were used to attack in the most primitive way, that is, charging forward without hesitation, fully implementing the meaning of knighthood.

No matter whether they were demons or chaos wizards along the way, they were all reduced to ashes under their attacks containing the power of the God-Emperor.

But more and more Nurgle demons are heading towards them, ready to kill these intruding humans.

It was because of this action that Rogner discovered clues in the air.

The original urban buildings of Marienburg were almost completely destroyed by the artillery fire.

However, under a seaside building, staggering Nurgle demons continued to emerge.

It has to be said that they have hidden very well. The ruins are all the same when looking down, but they still ignored the threat from the sky. Even a dragon may not be able to fly to the height of a thunder eagle, which is a vehicle that can navigate in space.

"We found you!" Rogna smiled, and then pointed out the target to the pilot. With a clear target, everyone in the Thunder Eagle was excited.

It was as if he was ready to vent all the frustration he had suffered in recent days.

The Thunderhawk began to dive, and some of the Nurgle demons in the air also noticed the threat coming from above their heads, but just as they were about to rush forward, one heavy bomb after another hit them accurately with the help of the auxiliary standards.

The Thunderhawk continued to use its loaded weapons to clear away any threats on the ground.

"Lord Rogner! The ground threat has been cleared! Prepare for airborne!"

A red warning light also flashed inside the Thunder Eagle.

The Thunderhawk landed quickly on the ground. The pilot opened the cabin door and didn't dare to stay for long. The radar showed that a large number of other demons were beginning to swarm up nearby.

Fortunately, everyone acted quickly enough, and the Kriegs began to establish a defensive position the moment they landed.

The silent movements seemed to have been practiced countless times and engraved in the bones.

"Kriegs, watch our backs."

Before entering the underground space that concealed the Chaos Rift, Rogna sent the location to Laun, and half of the Krieg soldiers here would stay to set up defensive positions to cover the arrival of Laun and his party.

Rogner, who had arranged everything, took the lead and went straight into the hidden cave in front of him.

Ludwig directly activated the Emperor's Holy Fire state. Under the light of the fire, everyone found that the ground under their feet was no longer gravel and soil, but was replaced by bright red muddy stuff that looked like flesh and blood.

Looking at the surrounding walls, everyone felt as if they had entered the inside of a living organism. The walls and the ground in front of them were even wriggling, making people's scalps tingle.

The tactical panels of the Ultramarines and the Battle Sisters kept sounding alarms. The concentration of toxic gases here was terribly high, which let them know that they had found the right place.
