I summoned the Fourth Scourge in Warhammer

Chapter 168 Aerial Interception
Vision hovered in the polluted air, gazing at the distant position he had personally razed with saturation fire, yet he felt no joy of victory. His tactical intuition, honed through countless battles, told him that things were spiraling into an extremely dangerous situation.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally made a decision. An encrypted communication request was sent directly to the emergency council located behind the front lines.

In the holographic projection, a group of commanders from the Fire Clan and Water Clan appeared with grave expressions. As soon as the call connected, Foresight stated decisively, "The plan has failed. I have no way to stop this human force from advancing in the short term. In fact, during the recent contact, three Fire Warriors have already sacrificed themselves for the Path of Supreme Goodness."

These words caused an immediate, deathly silence in the council, which was then replaced by an uproar. No one doubted Foresight's abilities, and no one thought that this legendary commander would joke at such a critical juncture.

"Then what should we do?!" a Fire Clan commander almost shouted, his tone and words clearly indicating that he was on the verge of a mental breakdown due to the immense pressure.

Vision immediately realized that his overly blunt report had dealt a huge blow to the already low morale, so he quickly added, "But after several contacts, I have gained a preliminary understanding of them. Their tactics rely heavily on close-range suicide attacks. With sufficient fire support, I can contain them at a safe distance and gradually whittle them down."

These words eased the tension among the council members somewhat. However, this brief reassurance was quickly shattered by the words of another Fire Clan commander: "But we simply don't have enough manpower to launch a large-scale firepower barrage against the humans on the right flank! Our only air mobility force, our fellow Air Clan members, has just been sent out to bombard those suddenly airdropped blue-armored warriors. Without the Air Clan's bombardment to contain them, those monsters can do whatever they want!"

"what?!"

Just then, a loud, outburst echoed throughout the council. All eyes turned to the Water Clan member who had spoken. He was the liaison officer responsible for receiving and compiling real-time battle reports from the front lines.

His azure face was filled with disbelief as he trembled and said, "Titanium... I think... I think our Chi clan brethren can turn around and bombard the human forces on the right flank... You see for yourselves."

A data stream was simultaneously sent to the terminals of all participants, including Vision. It was a video, which Vision, who was familiar with all of the Tau Empire's armaments, immediately recognized as being taken by a Tiger Shark heavy bomber.

On the towering ruins of Galblin City, a genetically modified warrior of the human Empire, clad in heavy blue armor, was climbing upwards at an astonishing speed, carrying an extra jetpack in one hand.

A question flashed through Yuanjian's mind: Wasn't he already equipped with a jetpack on his back? Why was he carrying another one in his hand?
His doubts were quickly answered—

After climbing to the rooftop, the soldier leaped into the air, his jetpack operating at maximum power, propelling him like a cannonball straight into the sky! Just as the fuel in his first backpack was about to run out and his ascent began to wane, he deftly and smoothly detached the old backpack mid-air and simultaneously attached the new, fully fueled backpack to his back!
The second jetpack seamlessly unleashed a torrent of scorching plasma. This insane "double jump" successfully propelled him to the same altitude as the Gas Clan bomber squadron.

Then, under the horrified gazes of all the Titans, he swung his power sword, which shimmered with an energy field, and with one strike, he cleaved the 21-meter wingspan heavy bomber in two!
Burning debris tumbled through the air, the flames illuminating the godlike figure of the blue-armored warrior hovering in mid-air. "The highest path of goodness..." Yuanjian murmured to himself, hardly believing his eyes.

With even the visionary in such a state, the rest of the council fell into a deathly silence, even their breathing ceased.

This video clearly dealt another devastating blow to already low morale. Foresight knew that this situation could not be allowed to continue, otherwise the Tau Empire's command structure would collapse even before the Human Empire attacked.

"Bring my fellow members of the Air Clan to my side!" Foresight's voice broke the silence, becoming firm once more. "I will deal with these genetically modified warriors."

“But, Lord Foresight, you…” someone hesitated before speaking, their doubt undisguised. They seriously doubted whether even Foresight could be a match for that blue-armored human.

"War is not something that can be won purely by individual bravery," Yuanjian said encouragingly, but... after witnessing the extraordinary scene he had just witnessed, he himself was starting to doubt his own words.

Meanwhile, after Cato Sicarius's indescribable "aerial interception," no more Tau Empire air forces came to harass the Ultramarines' assault troops. Without the aerial threat, the Astartes' advance accelerated dramatically.

"How is the Legion of the Dead doing?" Seeing his side progressing so smoothly, Ashius, the company commander of the Eighth Company, couldn't help but worry about the situation of the mortal force. He inquired with the rear command via the tactical network.

The situation was quickly transmitted via data link to Ashius's helmet display. Comparing it to the previous advance, Ashius quickly noticed the anomaly: "What's going on? They're advancing faster than before? Didn't the intelligence say they encountered high-level Xenomorph units?"

“Yes, Company Commander Ashius,” the command voice replied, “and according to their latest battle report, they have also encountered a large-scale bombing by alien bombers. But we have also repeatedly confirmed that their advance speed is indeed faster than before.”

"...Looks like I was overthinking it." Ashius was silent for a moment, then switched the communication channel to the company's internal communication, his voice carrying a hint of roused fighting spirit, "Brothers, speed up! We can't fall behind the mortals!"

"Courage and glory! For Macurag!" The earth-shattering battle cry echoed through the communication channel.
