"Chapter Master..." Tessa called to Foros softly.
Foros stared at the bare home star for a few seconds, then nodded, "Go to Baal."
After Tessa conveyed the order, the Storm Lady instantly entered the dimensional space.
Everyone in the battleship felt that they were leaving hell, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
No one on board the Storm Daughter saw it. The next second after they left, a giant black sphere appeared in the Hades galaxy.
The sphere escaped into the gap between the universe and the dimensional space and was hidden. Only its tentacles stretched out from the gap to pull out the mineral veins from the ground on the planet at the edge of the galaxy.
If you really don’t want to live too far away from your hometown, moving will be a hellish experience.
Chapter 260 Arriving at Bar
The Storm Lady arrived at Baal ten minutes later.
Foros stood in the bridge and looked at the galaxy, and found that the situation here was slightly better than that in the Hades galaxy. The blood-red Baal and its two satellites had been surrounded by insects. The planet did not look as desolate as the planets in Hades, proving that there might still be something up there. There are resisters.
The detection wave was released from the Storm Daughter, and the conditions of Baal, Baal, and Baal were displayed on the bridge.
The scan results show that the number of bugs is still hundreds of millions, but the number of humans on the three planets is no longer zero. There are at least nearly 30,000 space warriors and tens of millions of mortal auxiliaries.
These forces are spread across Baal and its two moons.
The humans on Baal gathered in giant defense buildings called Angel Fortress to resist the Zerg attack.
What is puzzling is that the friendly forces on Baal are attacked from both sides. They face all-round attacks from the sky, the ground, and the underground at the same time.
"Is there no void shield on Baal?" Tessa asked.
The void shield should have stood in the Angel Fortress on the surface of the planet, which could at least withstand attacks from the sky. A planet like Baal, which had great symbolic and strategic value, could not be without the protection of the void shield.
"There is probably a void shield." Foros said ambiguously. He didn't know much about Barr and didn't know what the situation was. "But the void shield is not impossible to close. Maybe the enemy has penetrated into the fortress."
While speaking, the Angel Fortress detected by the scanning wave was projected on the holographic image. It looked very three-dimensional, and every detail was clearly visible.
Foros and the company commanders gathered around the image and observed.
The Storm Daughter is gradually penetrating the encirclement of biological warships and approaching Baal.
Before the flagship reaches Baal, everyone must come up with a suitable battle strategy.
"Is this a fortress? I thought it was a city." The first company commander exclaimed.
"Of course, this is the fortress monastery." Foros nodded slowly while looking at the fortress.
Due to the loss of the protection of the void shield, everyone in the fortress is facing all-round attacks, and the outer wall has gradually been lost.
The mortal servants called blood slaves of the Blood Angels Chapter were being surrounded and slaughtered by insects. Some Space Marines tried to kill them to rescue them, but instead they were surrounded by the insect swarms.
It was obvious that the outer wall could not be defended.
The Space Marines and the blood slaves who were not on the outer wall held on for a few more seconds, and suddenly began to retreat in an orderly manner towards the core area of the fortress. Apparently, the commander ordered them to retreat.
The Zerg were much smarter than imagined, and some airdrop pods landed on the widest central road in the fortress, trying to intercept those retreating.
"We teleport here." Foros pointed to the road in the center of the fortress, "Everyone except mortals must participate in the battle."
The company commanders nodded in unison.
The Lamenters have been looking for their lost brothers since they were rescued by the Tyrones. The size of the war group is gradually recovering, and the current strength of 700 people is enough to control the central road.
The strategic value of this road is not particularly great, and it does not mean that it would not work without it, but if it were there, the armored troops and large-scale mortal servants in the fortress could quickly retreat from the road, instead of being diverted on the small road and being slaughtered on the side. Difficult retreat.
"What should the flagship do?" Tessa asked.
"After arriving in Baal's orbit, immediately leave a defense platform on the orbit, and then hide in the dimensional space." Foros glanced at the tens of thousands of biological warships in the galaxy. He did not think that the Lady of the Storm could survive these biological warships. Hold on during the attack.
"Yes." Tessa nodded and turned to carry out Foros's order.
The Storm Daughter's teleportation device began to recharge, and it came to orbit after breaking through the encirclement of biological battleships.
Five large holes were opened under the hull, and the orbital defense platform was launched.
This is an experimental feature that has not yet been implemented on Tyrone Navy ships and does not need to be implemented.
The purpose of the orbital defense platform is to help the Weepers gain partial control of the orbit as much as possible when they only have one flagship.
The defense platforms came into operation immediately after being dropped. The five defense platforms fired intensive firepower at the nearby insect swarms while activating shields.
A biological warship approached them under the fire of the defense platform, and then fired biological cannonballs in an attempt to break the energy shields.
The energy shield of one defense platform was damaged, but a blue light circulated between each defense platform and repaired the damaged shield.
The Hive Mind realized that if these platforms were not destroyed in an instant, their energy shields would be indestructible. So the biological warships no longer attacked the defense platform, but went to a place a little further away to gather and prepare to rush over.
The Daughter of the Storm escaped into the dimensional space, before teleporting the Weepers to the Angel Fortress.
……
on the ground.
The Blood Angel Chapter's First Captain Karan is organizing the evacuation. He sent a death squad composed entirely of hopeless black-haired authors to attack the swarm of insects controlling the road to the center of the fortress.
Under the influence of Black Rage, the Death Squad had no fear of the swarm of insects in front of them. They roared into the swarm of insects and started killing, and then were devoured by the swarm of insects in less than ten seconds.
A hive tyrant held a bone knife in his hand and roared at Karan in the distance.
Karan noticed that the hive tyrant arrived in a hurry, with only tens of thousands of knife bugs and more than sixty warrior bugs around it.
The former is cannon fodder, while the latter is an elite combat unit.
But this tyrant has no tyrant guard to protect it at this time.
Even so, it is not easy to regain control of the central road, because there are bugs everywhere in the sky and on the ground at this time. If the tyrant in front of you cannot be eliminated within a minute, the bugs outside will surround you.
As a commander, Karan could only issue a more prudent order, which was to let the evacuating troops take small roads.
Just when Karan was about to issue this order, a large crack appeared directly behind the swarm on the central road, and a Space Marine wearing Terminator power armor walked out of each crack.
"Live up to the blood of Sanguinius!"
War cries reached Karaon's ears, and he immediately saw these Space Marines suddenly appearing and attacking the swarm.
The equipment configuration of this battle group can be called luxurious.
Six Terminators formed a combat team. Three of the team held assault cannons, two held melta weapons, and the remaining one held a large bolter, but his power armor was equipped with small cyclone missiles. device.
In addition to the combat squad, there is also a guard squad responsible for protecting the Chapter Master and the regimental flag.
After being suddenly teleported to the battlefield, the fire support warriors in each team did not rush forward with the battle brothers. Instead, they stood still and stabilized their bodies, firing missiles at the insect swarm.
Half of the knife bugs were cleared by missiles, and the remaining half were quickly slaughtered by flamethrowers and assault cannons.
The escort team, all equipped with melee weapons, rushed into the insect swarm, and together with their Chapter Master, they attacked the tyrant.
Seeing the fluttering battle flag, Karan recognized the sudden arrival of the battle group.
The weeper.
Chapter 261 It’s getting dark
When Foros led the escort team towards the tyrant, they were first intercepted by the warrior bugs.
A warrior bug jumped up and pounced on Foros when he was still five meters away. However, during its fall, it was pierced by a guard holding a power spear and was thrown away from the spear.
Under normal circumstances, a Space Marine cannot kill a Samurai Bug so easily, except for those wearing Indomitable Terminator Armor.
There were a lot of warrior bugs, and they realized that the tyrant was in danger, so more and more warrior bugs came with knife bugs to intercept Foros and his escort team.
The three combat teams closest to Foros came to support and intercepted other warrior bugs rushing towards Foros.
Looking at the humans getting closer and closer, the tyrant waved his four arms holding bone knives, and charged towards Foros with his huge and strong body.
When the distance between one person and one insect shortened to two meters, the tyrant slashed at Foros with a bone knife in his hand.
At this time, a guard flashed out from Foros's side. The shield in his left hand resisted the falling bone knife, and the war hammer in his right hand hit the tyrant's abdomen.
A wave of energy spread from the impact point of the war hammer to the Tyrant's body, and the huge Tyranid war beast was "exploded" back as if it had eaten a small grenade.
Foros jumped up from behind the guard and thrust his power spear into the tyrant's head.
The disintegrating stance on the weapon destroyed the Tyrant's head carapace and skull, allowing the spear to easily penetrate its entire body and pin it to the ground.
The surviving knife bugs and samurai bugs on the central road seemed to be going crazy, either running around or charging blindly, and their actions were no longer as uniform as before.
Foros pulled out the power spear from the tyrant's corpse, shaking off the blood on the spear handle as he walked forward.
The other Lamenters followed the Chapter Master, clearing away any bugs that could still be seen nearby as they went.
The battle is far from over.
The Wailers only killed a group of bugs that had been hastily dropped by air. Directly in front of them, in their field of vision, there were overwhelming bugs that broke through the outer wall and chased the friendly troops, rushing toward the central passage.
There is a fifteen-meter-tall giant bug further away, which is a biochemical titan.
But fortunately, the Weepers are not facing these monsters alone. The first company of the Blood Angels has already arrived in front of the Weepers.
"Foros?" Karan was very surprised after seeing Foros, "I thought you were given to the minotaurs by the lackeys..."
"It's a long story." Foros didn't explain much and looked at a Space Marine behind Karan. The man's arm had been broken.
Foros turned to look behind him, "Pharmacist."
The pharmacists in the battle group immediately stepped forward to heal the wounds of the amputated Space Marine and replace his prosthetic body.
Before the next battle began, Karan looked at the wailers in front of him and felt that there was something strange about them.
Even the Apothecary wears Indomitable Terminator Armor.
Moreover, most of the people in their battle group are about three meters tall, much taller than normal space warriors.
Although they were all descendants of Sanguinius, and the Blood Angels were the parent group of the Lamenters, Karan did not feel close to them. Instead, he felt a strange sense of alienation.
Callan thinks this sense of alienation may be due to Froese's line: "The apothecary."
The Lamenters' apothecaries are called Apothecaries, and the Blood Angels' apothecaries are called Blood Priests.
But no matter what, the Weepers came to guard Baal, and they should not be treated coldly.
"Thank you for coming to support." Karan stepped forward and held Foros's hand. "You guys came a little late. I'm not saying that you guys didn't participate in the battle in time, but that you missed the opportunity of all the brothers a while ago. banquet."
"Sorry, we were still in Cadia at that time." Foros walked forward, holding the power spear in both hands and standing upright.
