Warhammer, from Gothic Fleet to Azur Lane

Finally, there are seven rapid reaction fleets - 14 Agamemnon-class high-speed battleships and 14 escort ship squadrons, which will defend the route and major planets of Skarus-Skerus-Sinchar Sector-Agrippina-Cadia together with their fully loaded 7000 Alpha Legion.

With the departure of the high-ranking commanders, the fleet's final preparations were complete. Salmin temporarily borrowed the captain's cabin of the Richelieu's Glorious Queen and issued the final order beside Richelieu, "Target the Cadian system, advance, and then win!"

Chapter 24: The Cadian Change

2/994/998.M41 (December )

Four days have passed since the Feast of Sanguinius, but it has not been a happy festival for the defenders on Cadia - a sudden rebellion broke out the day before the festival.

When the Cadia Supreme Command met the famous Voskani Armored Regiment at the landing site of Terok Bastion, what appeared before them was no longer the brave and loyal Cadia ace legion, but a rebellious legion full of evil god corruption and limb mutation.

The mutiny quickly turned into a massacre when the millions of mortal rebels who had planned in advance launched an attack on the unsuspecting Cadian High Command and other reinforcements that had been transported separately from the baggage. The Cadian High Command was completely killed in the first wave of the attack.

The Cadian Blitzkrieg, with its command system severely damaged, was inevitably at a disadvantage in the battle around Terok Redoubt. Millions of men died in the initial assault, and as the battle stretched from the first few hours to the dawn of the next day, the slaughter showed no signs of abating. As they had been trained to do, the Cadian Blitzkrieg would fight to the bitter end.

The Chaos advance attack was far more than that. A large number of Chaos fleets emerged from the previously captured Fremas system. The fleet that was merely a test attack still defeated the Imperial Navy that was deployed in various places. The Imperial fleet defending on the Kalesus-Sun Makayathus line could not even stop it.

The Chaos Vanguard Fleet, which had two Marauder-class battleships, even suppressed the Cadia Garrison Fleet, which was assisted by Cadia's orbital defense firepower. Dozens of transport ships still waiting to land in orbit were forced to make emergency landings to escape the Chaos Fleet's firing range, which brought even greater chaos to the surface.

But at this critical moment, Usaka Creed, the lord of the 8th Regiment of the Cadian Blitzkrieg, took over the command, gathered the scattered remnants, and planned to garrison with the relatively intact 8th Regiment, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Unfortunately, what was faster than the reinforcements was the enemy's support. When the Chaos Vanguard Fleet's Helldragons swooped down from the sky dyed with a strange color to eliminate the remaining anti-aircraft firepower, Creed realized something was wrong. However, the sudden attack of more than 20 Helldragons and hundreds of Hellblades was no longer something that the Valkyrie gunship, the only one that the army could mobilize, could resist.

After a futile resistance, the Chaos Air Force had completely seized the air supremacy near Terok Bastion. Undoubtedly, the next step was the basic tactics that the Astartes had used for thousands of years - airdrop decapitation. Dozens of Terrorclaw airdrop pods, under the cover of the Chaos Air Force, accurately smashed into every suspicious target.

Even though Creed quickly evacuated the wartime command post after the counterattack failed, as seventy-four black-red meteors fell from the sky, the entire command system was destroyed by the decapitation attack of nearly a thousand Black Legion Astartes. The surviving castle lord could not command the entire chaotic legion in a vacuum.

Although the Astartes were still quite vulnerable in front of clusters of Imperial Guards, the more narrow the battle was and the less heavy weapons were used, the more advantageous the Astartes were.

For example, in Tallarn, the brain-damaged Iron Warrior insisted on fighting a purely armored battle with mortals. In the wasteland ravaged by virus bombs, even the Astartes could not get off the vehicle to fight. The noble Iron Warrior, who was unable to use his high mobility, suffered a horrifying 1:3 battle loss with these mortal auxiliary troops, and used himself to severely cushion a wave of the Sun Auxiliary Army.

Now, although the gap in strength between the Cadian Blitzkrieg Army and the Black Legion was nearly ten thousand times, war was not a math problem. These highly mobile "small armored vehicles" bypassed the armored forces under the cover of rounds of air strikes, and cut apart the infantry or artillery positions one by one like dozens of scalpels.

When the battlefield is limited in width, the Astartes are invincible. The can-opening weapons that mortals can use have one common feature, single shot. When the battlefield is not chaotic enough and the shooting density is not high enough, it is not difficult for the Astartes to dodge the can-opening weapons with their bodies.

The rebels under the wartime command of Chaos Astartes also demonstrated the strength of the original Cadian Blitzkrieg Army's ace troops. The Cadian Blitzkrieg Army, which was divided into battalion-level or even company-level troops, was unable to resist the Astartes' version of the answer with its only armored forces and infantry, even if this version had happened ten thousand years ago.

But the bad news is that after ten thousand years, the empire became even more decadent.

Under the banner of the Eight-pointed Star and the Blood God, the rebels aided by the Black Legion seemed to be able to firmly occupy the landing site. However, Astartes were not unique to Chaos. Five days was a bit short for mortal troops, but it was enough for a war group to come to support.

Space Wolves - Iron Wolf Company, Space Wolves - Fire Howl Company.

Two Space Wolves companies are stationed on Cadia at this time. The Space Wolves are the only legion that has not split up its chapters. This is a rule left over from the time of the Primarch, and no one can change it now, just like the U-League Chapter Master also serves as the Lord of Ultramar. But this does not mean that the Space Wolves still maintain the size of the legion.

In fact, the Space Wolves have always been plagued by disasters and difficult to recruit. By the end of the 3000st Millennium, there were only 4000 to people left, far more than ordinary chapters but not as many as the Black Templars who had been taking advantage of the loopholes in the Codex, and only slightly more than Huron's Star Claws.

Naturally, it was impossible for all 712 Space Wolves from the two Grand Companies to come to support, and at the beginning only six squads of 60 Astartes were sent out to help suppress the rebellion. But when the claws of terror fell from the sky, the two Wolf Lords, who understood the seriousness of the matter, urgently mobilized all available forces, but the follow-up troops would take some time.

Creed must hold out near Terok Bastion for more than a day. Once Chaos breaks through the landing site and completely occupies or destroys the nearby planetary shield generators and air defense fortresses, a steady stream of Chaos troops can pour in through this gap. Even the most optimistic commander will change his winning slogan to "Cadia Stands Firm".

The Astartes squadron, which came to support the Imperial Guard with Thunderhawks and Stormcrows, finally stopped the Imperial Guard's continuous defeat, but at this time almost all the loyal Cadian Blitzkrieg troops were pinned down in the air defense fortress by the fierce offensive of the rebels. In the sneak attacks of the traitors and the Chaos air strikes, they lost three-quarters of their armored forces and two-thirds of their artillery.

The loyal Cadian Blitzkrieg had essentially lost their ability to fight back, and the Astartes' reinforcements only prevented them from being slaughtered one-sidedly when facing the Black Legion's veterans. But Creed finally breathed a sigh of relief, as reinforcements had arrived, and with the assistance of the God-Emperor's Angel of Death, the depressed soldiers had mustered up their courage.

Creed was confident that he would become as solid as a nail and defend the last stronghold of the loyalists near Fort Terokk. After he led his troops to recapture the sparsely defended anti-aircraft fortress, he immediately restarted the anti-aircraft firepower and land-based macro artillery array. The Imperial Navy, which was fighting above Fort Terokk, stabilized the situation after receiving sufficient land-based artillery support.

In this case, as long as they hold on, the Chaos Astartes will only have two choices: withdraw to orbit and evacuate Cadia with the fleet, or be crushed along with the rebels by the endless support of the Cadian Blitzkrieg. But an unexpected change disrupted everyone's deployment - reinforcements have arrived.

Chapter 25: City of Webway

Let's go back to the webway one hour ago. In the gorgeous narrow hole that was very different from the ordinary warp, the Eclipse-class cruiser, the Blade of Winter's Tears, was moving forward at the fastest speed to create enough distance from the large fleet. Her blade burst out with endless energy like waves, tearing the space in front of her.

She will open a webway exit to the Cadian Gate for the Imperial fleet, and as the strange rhythm becomes stronger, this mysterious induction finally affects reality - an ice planet in the physical universe also undergoes a series of strange changes.

Kalesus, an uninhabited ice planet, is the farthest planet from the star in the Cadian galaxy. The thin atmosphere and the snow covering the entire planet make it only used as a sentry. But this is just a misjudgment of the planet by humans who have never received the legacy of the ancient saints - this is an important transportation hub for the ancient saints in the War of Heaven.

When the Webway Hub, which had been dormant for nearly ten millennia, fully unfolded again, everyone, including the Eldar who opened it, was shocked. An extremely gorgeous giant Eldar city, the Webway Hub "Watcher" was actually hidden next to the Imperial fortress closest to the Eye of Terror.

Before this, the Eldar fleet heading to the Eye of Terror consisted of only a dozen ships at most, and there was no need to fully open the Webway hub. Even though the Eldar had tried every means to search for relics before the destruction, no one had ever thought of organizing a group to go to the most terrifying area around the Eye of Terror. Could it be that they were delivering food to Slaanesh?

As human power continues to expand, the Shield of Dread, especially the Cadian Gate war zone, has gathered the most elite combat power of the human empire. The Eldar are even less likely to send their precious warships here. Therefore, this city, which is completely hidden from the Eldar, has been hidden until now by accident.

This city was built in a completely different direction from modern Eldar cities—it was built for pleasure, not war and defense. Gorgeous layers of wraithbone rings formed its outer ring structure, and magnificent columns thousands of meters long, engraved with various runes, supported the ring layers of the city.

But the first thing everyone saw was the four protruding "arms", the sharp and smooth docks in the Eldar style, which announced her identity to people - a port city built by the ancient Eldar. Not surprisingly, it could be traced back to the precious relics before the fall of the Eldar.

And beneath this city, or rather the structure that constitutes the city, is a gigantic arch-shaped building with a diameter estimated to be over 300 kilometers - that is the exit of the Webway, and this city is the Webway Gate itself.

Without any hesitation, Salmin immediately ordered the fastest and most heavily armored Astartes fleet in front to control the Eldar city. What is the concept of a hub city in the webway? This was also the first step of the Emperor's webway plan!

Although Thalmin did not have the technology to connect or even build new Webway nodes, occupying an existing Webway hub could also bring him a fixed but safe public highway. The speed and safety of the Webway far exceeded the warp that humans currently use, and the strategic significance it brought was immeasurable.

Almost at the moment when the city appeared, most of the Imperial Fleet's Auger Matrix locked onto the lone Eldar warship. The dense fire control illumination prompts on it made the Eldar crew, who had just had some ideas, dare not move at all. Thousands of warships could really turn them and their soul stones into nothingness in an instant.

No matter what, the lives of the Eldar were the most precious. No matter how reluctant they were, they could only watch as the Astartes violently shattered the autonomous defense system that had been dormant for ten thousand years. Countless boarding boats and thunder eagles, carrying thousands of Astartes and the ten Sons of Sanguinius specially requested by Salmin, broke through the last defense of the dead city.

The City of Death, this city is gorgeous but corrupt. When people approach it, they find that this city uses a lot of colors or decorations similar to those of the Slaanesh Warband. The extreme colors that are too dazzling to make ordinary people faint directly cover most of the space in this city, which exist in both the physical and non-material realms.

There were no enemies, only the vaguely visible remains of autonomous constructs telling them that this was not a peaceful city without any weapons. At the same time, this city without any traces of war was actually littered with corpses.

Although there is no longer a complete atmospheric structure on it, traces of severely weathered bones cover almost all areas. Thanks to years of weathering and the final destruction of the space environment, these traces have become unsightly. But just imagining how those bones are arranged like this is enough to make ordinary people terrified and disgusted to the point of vomiting.

And according to the pharmacist's rough inspection, the skeletons in each area are almost the same. This also indicates an incredible and horrible reality. Each pile of corpses is most likely caused by the same Eldar themselves - they are actively killing themselves! Countless killings, until the end comes.

Although the Astartes' crude report described a suspected Chaos sacrifice ritual, Salmin, who knew the truth about the Fall of the Eldar, knew that the Astartes were only half right. Chaos was right, the sacrifice was right, and the ritual was right, but it was not a Chaos sacrifice ritual. After all, they were not willing.

When Salmin sent these photos, documents, and videos to the Eldar with a sense of humor, even the virtual personality of the Path Mask could not completely block out the fear brought by the lost past, but at least through this high-pitched scream, Salmin knew that the Eldar commander on the opposite side was a woman.

This nightmare-like past was like a burning flame. Any Ark Eldar with some culture would avoid it. The Eldar on the ship didn't even want to look at her again, avoiding this gorgeous and decadent city as far as possible. If the ignorant monkeys wanted it, just give it to them.

Picked up a supply center, family members.

As a nail that Salmin drove into the Webway, the Webway Hub, which had the authority to open and close the Webway gate, must be heavily guarded. The Imperial Fleet, which was delayed for two hours by this unexpected surprise, recalled six companies and five Sons of Sanguinius, and also deliberately sent down 400,000 elite troops to "fight the dust".

When this vast fleet, under the guidance of the Eldar cruiser, suddenly launched from the void into the physical universe, it was December 2th (992/998/41.M)!

It was really very abrupt. The difference from walking in the subspace was that walking in the webway did not require activating the Geller Stand, or it only needed to be started at low power. This meant that this fleet was in a complete combat posture with the void shield raised and moving forward at three speeds, and there happened to be two fleets directly in front of them and on the right.

——They are Chaos Fleet A and Chaos Fleet B, which besieged Solar Mariatus and Cadia respectively. There is no need to know their names, as it is completely useless. When the three main fleets led by Salmin successfully arrived in Cadia before 999.M41, their destruction was already a fait accompli.

"Commander, the fleet has completely left the webway. The number of warships that should have arrived is 716, and the number of transport ships that should have arrived is 716. The fleet is 1677% complete."

"Commander, after comparison, the fleet's current position is determined to be outside the satellite orbit of the planet Calesus in the Cadian system of the Cadian sector of the Hazy Star Region, and outside the planet's gravity well."

"Commander, the auspex detected two Chaos fleets and one Imperial fleet. The right-wing enemy fleet A is conducting an orbital bombardment on the Imperial fortress world Solar Mariatus, and the Imperial fleet in Cadia orbit is engaging enemy fleet B."

"Commander, we have received a large amount of astropathic communications, most of which are standard astropathic messages for assistance."

……

After the fleet entered the physical universe, dense information came all at once, but Salmin didn't need to deal with all of it. They were more like notifications for Salmin to control the situation as quickly as possible, rather than problems. What he had to do was simple, "Notify Cadian that reinforcements have arrived. As for those Chaos scum, crush them!"

Chapter 26: Reinforcements Arrived

Thalmin was past the point where he had to do everything himself. It was just one or two Chaos fleets. The auspex only found two Marauder-class battleships in enemy fleet B. Facing such an enemy, he only needed to give orders. As he said, 'crush them.'

Enemy Fleet A just happened to collide with the Salmin Fleet that jumped out of the webway. Since both sides were facing each other broadside, there was no need to say anything. Duelists must duel as long as their eyes meet.jpg

To this day, we still don't know how desperate they were that day. In short, this Chaos fleet of one cruiser and ten escort ships didn't even have the chance to send a message. Countless scorching light spears turned their shields and ships into nothingness. Nothing was left in the desolate universe. Only that moment of brightness could prove what had happened here.

On the other hand, the Chaos Fleet, which was fighting the Imperial Fleet - Cadia Garrison, also discovered something was wrong, but their weak radar system could not compare with the Queen of Glory, not to mention that Salmin had an Arbiter-class super command aircraft carrier specializing in electronic warfare. All they knew was that their "friendly forces" had suddenly lost contact.

More people against fewer, strong against weak, clairvoyant against blind, Salmin didn't know how he lost. But his priority at this stage was not to destroy the Chaos fleet, but to settle the dispute on Cadia. Once Chaos destroyed the planet's void shield generator, the Empire would be at a disadvantage in all subsequent military operations.

Cadia itself is the most important. Salmin has always kept in mind why he came here. To win in a stable manner is what he hopes for the most. It is better to say that Cadia is in a very good state now, which has far exceeded his psychological expectations. His bottom line is that the entire Cadia sector will fall, but Cadia and the Black Stone Array will still exist.

He was already very satisfied with this. He was just driven into the planet's orbit by the Chaos Fleet and forced to land. This was already a big win. This was at least a moderate win.

"Your Excellency the Commander, we have been connected to the Imperial Fleet's command system." However, perhaps communicating by compromising a friendly force's command system was too shocking. When Salmin's voice came from the Imperial Fleet's flagship, the Emperor-class battleship "Glory and Duty", everyone was inevitably stunned.

"This is the flagship of the Armageddon Iris Battle Fleet, the Glorious Queen-class battleship Richelieu. Reinforcements have arrived. Hold them back."

If it was a confusing sentence, it might just be nonsense or an illusion, but the Astartes fleet that rushed into the battlefield at the fastest speed was a heavyweight reinforcement that could really turn the tide of the battle. The battle cry that resounded through the Imperial fleet gave courage to anyone who yearned for the God-Emperor's Angel of Death.

Before the reinforcements actually joined the battle, the situation on the battlefield had already reversed. When the extremely conspicuous figure of the Queen of Glory-class battleship appeared in the field of vision of both sides, the despicable idea of ​​'escape' was deeply engraved in the minds of the Chaos Fleet. We can't win! Our army is defeated! Our army is defeated!

What companions? What battle brothers on the planet? Brother, I'm so confused, why do I care about this? Run!

The arrival of the Black Templars' Eternal Crusade Fleet and the Flesh Tearers' Eternal Crusade, three battleships, five battleships, twenty-two strike cruisers, and thirty-one escort squadrons from the Astartes Fleet alone was enough to destroy the Chaos Combine's will to fight.

Facing a Glorious Queen battleship that was four times larger than their own, running away was not an option. But, if they wanted to run now, wasn't it a bit too late? The speed of the orthodox Astartes fleet was obviously faster than the Chaos fleet. When the light spears of the five World Destruction-class battleships suppressed all their movements like water.

They then realized one thing - defeat and destruction were already a foregone conclusion for them.

The shadow cast by the magnificent hull of the Queen of Glory on the ecliptic plane was enough to completely cover the two Predator-class battleships. Naval battleships with weak firepower should not dream of overloading the void shield of the Queen of Glory. Instead, they could use two retribution torpedoes and ramming to charge to their death.

There was no need to even board the ship. With just two rounds of broadside bombardment, the void shields of the two Predator-class battleships were shattered by the roar of the Eternal Expedition's macrocannon, and the light spears that had been charged and preheated made the final blow. The light spears of the Queen of Glory, which were at hundreds of millions of degrees, cut the blasphemous twisted battleships into pieces like a hot knife cutting through butter.

Without the protection of the void shield, the warship was too fragile. The more than ten-meter-thick adamantium armor could not withstand the bombardment of the light spears designed to destroy the hull. The Grand Marshal was really dismembering the body. The visible light beams wandered freely on the chaotic hull, melting through the armor and tearing the hull apart.

When the dazzling light disappeared, all that remained were the fragmented wreckage of the ship, which barely maintained its shape. The dense explosions were clearly visible through the huge cracks in the hull. The Chaos Fleet had fallen completely silent. A moment ago, they were still playing with the Imperial Fleet guarding Cadia's orbit, but now only the dying wails came from the flagship.

But the Grand Marshal, whose Eternal Crusade had been stagnant for too long for Cadia, was not satisfied. Guess why he did not bring anyone to board the ship. Because he had a more violent and exciting choice! In the shocked eyes of everyone, the magnificent Queen of Glory drew an arc with a dexterity that did not match her majestic figure.

The bow made of heavy adamantium rams pointed directly at the shattered but barely formed Predator-class battleship. Not far away, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Fleet, Captain of the 4th Company of the Dark Angels on the Sword of Resistance, and the Lord of the Fleet, Korashil, seemed to have guessed something, "Lion——"

The roaring blue-white flames pushed the honor of the Human Empire Navy, the ever-angry Queen of Glory-class battleship "Eternal Expedition" at an incredible speed as it rushed towards the Predator-class battleship quietly suspended not far away, as if this was also what the machine soul desired.

The indestructible void shield shattered the shattered hull of the Predator-class battleship firmly after a strong flash, just like smashing a glass, seemingly hard but actually shattered with a single hit. The fragments in the sky shattered the fleeing formation of the Chaos fleet with a power exceeding that of ordinary macro cannons.

However, the Eternal Crusade did not stop, and smashed the seven unfortunate escort ships into fine steel dust that no longer needed to be purified. At this time, the Astartes fleet finally arrived. Like noble knights on a hunting expedition, they brutally slaughtered the previously arrogant Chaos fleet with the simplest bombardment and ramming.

A massacre without suspense, they were so excited just to snatch the long-lost battle. It was not until now that Corahill knew why the voice that hijacked the entire fleet said in a calm voice that seemed like a narrative: "Reinforcements have arrived."

Chapter 27 Ground Offensive

Now Captain of the 4th Company of the Dark Angels and Lord of the Fleet, Corasier, should treasure the fact that he can still think calmly, because a big one is coming, and Salmin is planning to clear out the Chaos Rebels and Chaos Astartes on the ground step by step, just as he did before - throwing the Dark Angels down.

At this time, the 30,000 Dark Angels that Salmin had already prepared were ready to go on the two Queens of Glory. As long as he gave the order, Corahir would explode.

And now the situation is like this. The Imperial forces must suppress the Chaos rebels and Chaos Astartes before the main force of Thalmin arrives, or at least make Thalmin choose a more conventional way of dealing with it, or Korathil must make Thalmin notice himself and notice that there are still Dark Angels here.

At this moment, the rebel corps led by the veterans of the Black Legion on the ground launched a full-scale offensive against the anti-aircraft fortress group near the Terok Bastion of Cadia.

"We are returned! Death to the False Emperor!" The battle cry of the Black Legion resounded throughout the chaotic battlefield. These Astartes who once belonged to various legions have now completely joined the Chaos camp and immersed themselves in the evil power of the Four Gods.

The roar of the petrified lizards responded to the orders of the Black Legion. The 1st and 2nd Self-Propelled Artillery Regiments of the former Voskani Armored Regiment, plus some captured petrified lizards, totaling more than two hundred heavy artillery pieces, poured fire towards the anti-aircraft fortress group. Every burst of fire from the earth-shaking cannon would tear large gaps in the fortress made of ceramic steel and high-grade cement.

Further ahead of them was the 3rd Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment and Independent Anti-Aircraft Battalion of the former Voskani Armored Regiment, equipped with Wyvern suppression tanks and Hydra anti-aircraft tanks.

Although the Wyvern's pair of Frag Storm Mortars are not as powerful as the Basilisk's Earthshaker, this tank is not designed to fight armor. Its mortars can instantly spray a large amount of metal fragments onto unfortunate enemy infantry while leaving itself unscathed.

Any Cadian Blitzkrieg that dared to show their heads would not be able to deliver effective damage under such firepower, not even the Astartes. When a squad of Fire Howling Company Wolves that tried to counterattack were instantly turned into minced meat and ceramic steel, Creed, who failed to stop them, gained command of the Astartes.

But the situation is not without improvement. The Chaos Navy has left since who knows when, and it seems that the battle in orbit has changed again. But in any case, the Cadia Blitzkrieg finally does not have to silently endure Chaos' absolute air superiority, and this difference will plant a fatal hidden danger for Chaos, which has always been smooth sailing.

Creed did not stay in the solid bunker. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. The imperial treasure may not be safe. At the same time, in order to stabilize the morale that has been on the verge of collapse, Creed has been setting an example and being active on the front line of the battlefield. It is for this reason that they can maintain a basic but complete mortal army under the attack of the Black Legion.

The tall Creed and the flag bearer who always held high the flag of the Eighth Regiment were the backbone of the loyalists at this time. As long as the backbone remained upright, no matter what kind of enemy it was, it could not knock them down.

Creed understood one thing: it was meaningless to gather too few Astartes to fight against nearly a thousand Corrupted enemies. After taking command of the Astartes squad, he quickly dispersed the remaining 47 Astartes into 22 two-man combat teams, and formed 22 front-line teams with them as the core.

The only way to maximize the benefits of "Astartes' help" was to let the loyal soldiers who had held on until now know that they had not been abandoned by the Emperor and that the Emperor's Angel of Death was with them. He himself led three Astartes to patrol the battle, commanding in battle and boosting morale.

The hymns floating on the battlefield were the last comfort of these soldiers before the death angel of the God-Emperor descended. Overnight, the former friendly forces were corrupted and turned against them, and they were slaughtered by the overwhelming Chaos Astartes. Even so, they were able to withstand more than half of the losses without collapsing, which can only be said to be worthy of the name of Cadia.

Even under Creed's deployment, the firepower points were cross-covered and adjusted in an orderly manner, and they actually blocked the Vorskani Armored Regiment that was urged to attack by the Black Legion. After Chaos lost its air superiority, the artillery of both sides began to test each other and tried to find and destroy the artillery positions, but most of the two sides were self-propelled artillery, so it was not so easy to kill them all at once.

The artillery greatly reduced the defensive pressure on the loyalists during the stalemate. Together with the Leman Russ, which served as a fixed firing point after the bunker was reinforced, the traitors' armor and infantry forces were suddenly pinned down on the slope. Only the roar of the wyvern, which served as curved firepower, was still loud.

But even though the wyvern's shrapnel storm mortars were destroying all the creatures her cruel machine soul could find like a killing storm, how could Creed, who was familiar with these standard equipment of the Astra Militarum, not know the nature of these things? They were originally problem children who did not listen to control, and after being corrupted by Chaos, they were even more lawless and completely uncontrollable, like being hit by a butcher's nail.

And Creed used this feature. As long as there is a bunch of fresh "flesh and blood", such as some of the prisoners they captured when they captured the fortress or some who wanted to surrender, ahem. In short, just understand it.

As a result, the enemy's fire suppression became a joke. The firepower deployed in fortresses, bunkers, and ruins easily slaughtered the rebels who were pouring in like waves. Anyway, regardless of victory or defeat, they could only hold out for a week at most, so Creed didn't need to save ammunition at all.

But the stalemate was suddenly broken, and the Chaos Astartes of the Black Legion suddenly joined the breakthrough operation with a very high mortality rate. You know, even the Astartes could not survive the firepower of the Astra Militarum, they were fighting for their lives!

Why are they fighting so hard? Could it be that the battle empire in orbit has won? Thinking carefully, this is indeed the only possibility. If the Chaos fleet was forced to evacuate and left them behind, then it is not unreasonable for them to fight so hard. But in other words, as long as they hold on, they will soon usher in the final victory.

Creed laughed as he watched the battle situation collapse due to the Black Legion Terminator entering the battlefield. They were anxious.

Terminator armor is indeed very powerful, but in this Warhammer universe filled with endless wars, anyone who doesn't have a conventional weapon that can penetrate the Terminator will be embarrassed to come out. Just like the Predators must at least have a good bite through the power armor, the whole family will be ridiculed if they can't get past a Terminator.

Especially the Cadian Blitzkrieg, who were tasked with guarding the Eye of Terror. They had been fighting against all kinds of extraordinary things all year round and were equipped with a large number of weapons, from plasma cannons, plasma guns to double-barreled meltas, storm bolters, and both ordinary and advanced ones.

The Astartes' attack can destroy our defenses, but traitor, are you ready to pay a sufficient price?

The sound of the attack outside had reached the ears of the Cadian Blitzkrieg. Every word of "false emperor" filled them with deep anger. Faith was a double-edged sword. While giving the Cadian Blitzkrieg an extraordinary fighting will, it also gave them considerable weaknesses.
