Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 601 Unexpected Reinforcements

……

Ultramar.

The center of the Five Hundred Worlds, Macragge.

Gale, the captain of the Ultramarines' First Chapter, was in the Macragge Command Center, standing with several high-ranking officers including the Mortal Auxiliary Forces, staring at the holographic strategic image.

Outside the fortress where the command center was located, a few red beams of light fell from the sky from time to time, causing ripples on the void shield.

The fighter plane rushed into the atmosphere and penetrated the void shield.

On the ground, anti-aircraft firepower positions in fortresses and cities poured artillery fire into the sky.

Macragge, the hub of the Five Hundred Worlds and homeworld of the Thirteenth Legion's Primarch Guilliman, is mired in war.

It wasn't just Macragge that was caught up in the war.

Next to the holographic image that Gale was staring at, there were more than a dozen red dots marked on the Five Hundred Worlds Strategic Star Map, and each red dot represented a star region that was under attack.

"The rebel fleet has begun to concentrate its bombardment on our void shields."

"The soldiers at the front reported that they saw Space Marines wearing purple armor in front of the position ten minutes ago."

"There are also a series of reports showing that there are traces of killing activities carried out by unknown Space Marines in every city of Macragge."

A series of reports about the battle situation came into Gale's ears.

Gale responded immediately, issuing orders, arranging and deploying many reserve troops to the combat site.

Then the First Chapter Captain fell into a brief trance.

Gale had previously supported the planet Sosa with Qin Xia's think tank fleet, where they annihilated the Emperor's Children landing force.

Dantioch said that Eidolon had escaped, but Gale did not take it seriously at the time because according to the order of orders, he had to leave Sotha and return to Macragge next.

As a result, Macragge was attacked shortly after returning.

It was Lord Eidolon of the Emperor's Children who attacked Macragge, as well as the Emperor's Children and other Space Marines who had not been fully deployed to Sotha and had escaped halfway.

How did these bastards get to Macragge?

It was hard not to have doubts in Gale's mind.

There was no movement from the defense fleet around Macragge.

Even the void facility defense line at the edge of the galaxy was silent.

hum-

The harsh buzzing sound brought Gale's thoughts back to the current war.

"What's that noise?"

"The war whistle of the Titan Legion? They deployed the Titan Legion?"

"Idiot! Where are their Titan Corps available?"

"Then I feel relieved...at least it's not a Titan..."

"But that's the sound of the void shield about to overload! There's something wrong with the energy device! There are too many warships bombarding us here!"

Gale heard the arguments among the officers of the Mortal Auxiliary Army.

When the entire command center fell into deathly silence because of the news that "the void shield is about to overload", Gale spoke to break the silence.

"The void shields have not been overloaded by orbital bombardment. There must be a landing force airborne to the void shield facility."

"Mobilize Macragge's 49th Guards Auxiliary Regiment, the 98th Armored Regiment, and the th Company of the Ultramarines st Chapter."

The commander of the First Regiment was extremely calm and made proper arrangements.

The attack on Macragge happened too suddenly.

And after the previous Battle of Sotha, the Primarch led the assembled fleet to support other planets attacked by Eidolon.

In addition to one million mortal auxiliary troops, Gale only had the First Regiment led by himself available.

As for the naval fleet…After the Battle of Sosa, Gale ordered the fleet to resupply in Macragge, and then go to other places in the Five Hundred Worlds to put out fires. In his eyes, this was the most wrong order he had ever given in his life.

"Report!" An officer came over. "You deployed the 4th Company to the east of the fortress. When the Midnight Lords landed there, they went to support the attack site. Now they have no way to get away."

There was still no sign of anxiety on Gale's face, but there was a hint of anxiety in his heart.

The mortal auxiliary army alone has no way to destroy the landing troops at the void shield facility, and once the void shield is destroyed, the warships outside the orbit can evaporate the entire area with a single shot of light spear.

"It looks like you'll have to go there in person, Chapter Master Gale."

An older woman walked through the automatically opened gate and came to Gail.

When this lady appeared, everyone present, whether they were Space Marines or mortals, performed the Skyhawk Salute.

This lady's name is Talasha Udon, the adopted mother of the Ultramarines Primarch Roboute Guilliman.

"You should be in the underground shelter, Mrs. Euton." Gail was a little nervous.

The command center may be attacked by airdrop pods at any time. It is not safe here at all.

"The entire Macragge is under attack. No place is safe, Captain Gale." Euden turned and looked at the gate.

A strong man about two meters tall walked in and saluted Gale.

Gale could tell at a glance that this man was a Space Marine who had failed in his transformation, and judging from the fact that he had no obvious disabilities, he should be an unlucky person who had reached the stage of wearing the black shell but was unable to do so.

The Space Marine Corps does not only consist of successfully transformed Space Marines, but also some strong ones among those who failed in the transformation who serve as scouts.

The person in front of me was wearing scout armor.

"I have just mobilized all the people like him for you. The total number is about 1,500." Yuton said, "You can lead them to fight, and the command work will be temporarily handed over to me and the officers present."

Gail thought quickly and bowed to Mrs. Euton: "Thank you."

……

In an offensive or defensive war against a planet, the Void Shield facility is always the top priority. Gale personally led 1,500 soldiers and auxiliary troops to guard the Void Shield facility.

They joined forces with the mortal auxiliary forces and rushed towards the void shield facility in the fortress city.

We kept going until we got outside the Void Shield facility and had to stop.

As Gail expected, the void shield was not about to be overloaded, but was invaded by enemy landing forces and a power supply facility was paralyzed.

The drop pods that the Emperor's Children were riding in became bunkers. Some of them used the drop pods to fight, while others went deep into the facilities to destroy the void shields.

Gale saw two Contemptor Dreadnoughts standing between the drop pods ahead.

The Ultramar Auxilia armoured units charged the facility, but were easily defeated by two Dreadnoughts and the Emperor's Children armed with anti-tank weapons.

It was absolutely impossible for mortal infantry to break through the fire blockade, and they fell in large numbers during several tentative attacks.

Gale calmly observed the battlefield and found several buildings close to the facility. If he could use those buildings as cover...

As he was thinking, a Draydu Dreadnought slowly walked out of the facility and came to the two Contemptor Dreadnoughts.

When this dreadnought fully loaded with weapons appeared in Gale's eyes, the First Chapter Captain's attack plan came to nothing.

The Dreydu Dreadnought opened fire at the nearby blocks, and the rocket launchers on its shoulders reduced the buildings to ruins in an instant.

However, the Dreadnought is not the biggest trouble Gale faces.

Suddenly, a series of reports sounded in the communication channel.

A warrior who failed his transformation reported seeing the Night Lord.

Then there was a series of screams that echoed throughout the communication channel.

Even a team of Night Lords rushed out of the building behind Gale and headed straight for the First Chapter Master.

They had obviously been waiting here for a long time.

"The Night Lords have rebelled?" The commander of the failed warriors beside Gale drew out his chainsword and exclaimed at the same time.

"No, Conrad Curze did not rebel. These Night Lords were created." Gale, who knew more information, drew out his power sword and rushed towards the Night Lords who were coming to kill him.

The combat effectiveness of these Midnight Lords is not strong. They are just the products of cramming-style transformation. They were thrown onto the planet to fight as soon as they came out of the amniotic fluid chamber and have no practical experience.

Gale killed the first Midnight Lord who rushed towards him with a sword, then blocked the attack of the next Midnight Lord with his sword, kicked him away, pulled out his bolt pistol and smashed his head.

The warrior commander who failed in his transformation next to him also defeated a Midnight Lord. From his superb swordsmanship, it can be seen that after the failure of his transformation, he has been looking forward to getting a combat mission one day and has been preparing for this expectation.

More Night Lords emerged from all directions, mixed with some Blood Angels.

And there was only one person left in the Night Lords team in front of Gale.

The First Chapter Captain raised his sword and charged.

The first time their weapons collided, the opponent's sword was knocked away.

But just when Gale thought that the opponent was still just a mass-produced Midnight Lord, the opponent suddenly adjusted his posture, dodged the power sword's attack at a tricky angle, and turned around neatly, cutting off Gale's right arm with one sword.

The arm holding the power sword flew twice in the sky and fell to the ground.

"Ahaha! You've been fooled!"

The Night Lord took off his helmet and tossed it aside.

Under the helmet was a distorted face with no nose and extremely wrinkled skin.

It took Gale some time to identify the other party as Lucius from the Emperor's Children.

The Space Marine whose transformation failed rushed towards Lucius but was cut in half by a sword.

Lucius held the sword in both hands and walked towards Gale.

"The Lord of the White Knights said you were killed by him on Chemos." Gale drew his bolt pistol with his left hand and fired.

Lucius reacted incredibly quickly and put his sword in front of his eyes to deflect the bomb.

"There are always things he can't expect, man." Lucius stood in front of Gale, sword raised high.

Suddenly, a golden light fell from the sky, and the golden light tore a crack in the space in front of Gale.

Lucius looked back at the rift, puzzled.

A Primarch stepped out of the rift, hammer in hand.

Behind the Primarch was a group of Space Marines in grey armour.

That is the Word Bearer.

When Gale saw Lorgar appear, he immediately became nervous.

Before leaving Macragge, Primarch Guilliman and Gale had deduced which of the Legions were likely to rebel.

Lorgar was considered by Guilliman to be a traitorous Primarch.

When Gael asked why, Guilliman simply replied, "My twelfth brother said so."

At this moment, the outlines of some Word Bearers warships could be vaguely seen in the sky.

Lucius raised his head to look at the sky, then lowered his head to look at Lorgar, a hideous smile appeared on his distorted face: "Your legion can navigate in the warp, which means that you are on the same side as us..."

Before he could finish his words, Lucius' head exploded.

Fragments of the shattered skull clanged against Gale's armor.

It was Lorgar who came to Lucius in the blink of an eye and smashed Lucius' head with a hammer from bottom to top.

puff-

The headless body knelt on the ground and fell at Lorgar's feet.

"Word Bearers!" Lorgar stepped on Lucius's body with his right foot and raised his hammer high: "Fight alongside the Ultramarines! Defend Macragge!"
