The God's Machines marched slowly on the scorched earth, firing as they advanced. The roar of any weapon when it was fired shook the eardrums of the soldiers.
They move slowly but powerfully, and attack slowly but powerfully.
The Glory of Agrippina slowly stopped while moving forward at full speed. It took several minutes to decelerate until it came to a complete stop and lowered its upper body.
A whistle sounded like thunder.
The warning lights all over the body of the Glory of Agrippina flashed, and its legs were deeply embedded in the scorched earth with a roar.
After another minute, the back of the Warmaster-class machine opened countless launch tubes. The dense missiles roared out of the launch tubes, penetrated the energy shield, rose into the sky, and fell towards the Fire Lord's Warmaster. class.
The latter had just stopped the Titan. The two plasma incineration cannons on its arms were slowly raised and turned to aim at the Glory of Agrippina. After a dazzling blue flash appeared, the missiles hit the void shield. .
The two blue attacks launched by the plasma incineration cannon hit the energy shield, and the sound they made was like a giant knocking twice on a giant door that could extend to the orbit.
The whistle sounded again.
The joints around the Agrippina's Glory spewed out gas to dissipate heat from the missile launch tube within a minute. The feet that were stuck in the scorched earth were slowly pulled out one by one and continued to advance towards the enemy's Warmaster-class Titan.
The Titan Legion was in a difficult battle for a while, and the winner might not be able to be determined in a short period of time.
But Legion Master Omun added a variable to this war.
Now, that variable is ready.
In the giant mountains and rivers of Beisu No. 1 two kilometers away, the Mars Witch and two War Dog-class Titans trudged strangely out of the rocky terrain of the mountains and rivers.
Chapter 394 Whisper
"Captain Diana, use your phaser cannon to fire a shot at the Titan on the opposite side."
"Yes, Captain Cuarón."
Although in this battle arrangement, Oumn ordered the Martian Witch to take Caron and another War Dog to fight side by side, Diana did not have command authority.
Under the command of Captain Caron of the Warhound-class Titan, Diana, the captain of the Warmaster-class Titan of the Mars Witch, signaled to the operator.
The phaser gun was slowly raised.
The intelligent system carried by the Titan continuously enlarges the location of the Warmaster of the Fire Lord Legion and marks it on the holographic map next to the right armrest of the command throne.
Even something as big as Titan is difficult to see clearly from two kilometers away.
On Diana's side, they could only see a vague mountain-like shadow, or the shadow of the top, because there was a high mountain blocking it in front. This does not provide coordinates for accurate shooting.
With a thought, Diana transmitted the coordinates on the map into the phase cannon on Titan's right arm. The phase cannon was automatically activated and aimed at the coordinates on the map.
The intelligent system automatically calculates the shooting angle to ensure that the muzzle is aimed at the chest of the Warmaster.
"It's time to shoot!" The operator looked back at Diana.
Diana sat on the command throne with her legs crossed, tapping the bottom of the throne with her heels. After hearing the operator's report, she nodded immediately: "Fire."
The phaser fires a beam of light.
The beam penetrated the mountains and rivers, penetrated the obstacles along the way, penetrated the void shield that was defeated by Omuen, penetrated the chest of the Warmaster-class Titan, and then was twisted and dissipated by a powerful force activated by Diana.
This series of processes occurs within one second.
The Flame Lord Warmaster Titan, which was fighting with the Agrippina's Glory, was just about to fire two more incineration cannons, but the accumulated energy dissipated instantly, and the entire Titan's arms and head were separated from the broken body. One piece after another fell from the chest.
The disintegration of the Titan was a catastrophe for the ground forces at its feet. The entire New Volskani Armored Regiment, which was equipped with Leman Russ tanks and three Baneblades, was caused by the falling parts of the Warmaster-class Titan. The explosion wiped away.
Another armored battalion that immediately evacuated when it saw something was wrong was half-smashed by the fallen lower body of the Warmaster-class Titan before it ran out of the collateral damage range.
Diana wanted to disintegrate the remaining Titans, but she found that she could not do it. No matter how hard she tried, she could only sense the impact of the subspace on those Titans.
There are also bodies that have been soaked in the Eye of Terror or the Maelstrom for tens of thousands of years and no longer belong to the material universe.
When the Flame Lord Titan Legion suffered heavy losses, Huron, who was watching the battle in the Blackstone Fortress of the New Badab, saw all this.
He could not have seen it, but should have received the news of the destruction of the Warmaster Titan only after the destruction of the Titan Legion. However, when Carlos found Huron for the second time, he gave him a gift - a piece of the Crystal Demon Realm. crystal.
This crystal shows the entire battlefield in real time. As long as Huron wants to see something, the crystal will let him see it in his brain, as if he is personally on the battlefield.
"A little sacrifice is nothing, keep fighting, keep fighting!"
"Look at your shameful plan. You used the transport ships I sent you to drop your army one by one in a suicide attack, and the result is this?"
"Life is precious. If you can't bear to see your men killed in artillery fire, then pray to me and I will bless them so that they will never die."
"What good is war? As long as you are willing, I can send you and your army to the most beautiful place of enjoyment in the world. You will be greeted by endless joy and endless pleasure."
Four voices spoke in Huron's head.
Huron sat on the throne, his elbows resting on the armrests, his head resting on his hands, his face expressionless.
He's used to it.
Because since entering the maelstrom, Huron has always heard four voices talking in his head, every minute and every second, and sometimes he can even say ten thousand words in one second.
Huron clearly knew that it was the temptation from the dark gods, and every nonsense they said was to make himself more inclined to one of them.
Now that he is leaving the maelstrom, Huron will at least not listen to their nonsense tens of thousands of times in a second. This is already a holiday for him.
"Sefro." Huron looked at his subordinates wearing black armor and holding psychic staffs, "Use your psychic powers to move the Titan Legion out of the battlefield, and then give it to Voska... New Vos... Who cares? , anyway, it’s those Voskani people, send them a psychic communication and ask them to retreat immediately, repair themselves and then attack again.”
"Yes, my lord." Sefro saluted respectfully, and immediately began to practice psychic spells.
The entire Red Corsair warband came under the favor of the Four Gods, and astrological communications became accurate and fast, being picked up by another psyker before they were even sent out.
Sefro is not very proficient in psychic powers. After all, he did not even receive training from a think tank, so he was kicked out by the war group and hunted everywhere. However, he can sense that there is a powerful existence in the supreme sky helping him.
That being gave Sefro his most powerful subordinate to sign a guardianship contract.
That being protected Sefro's soul from psychic backlash.
That being helped Sefro use his psychic powers while training him to let him know how to mobilize the most psychic powers more quickly to interfere with the real universe.
Sefro easily moved the Flame Lord Titan Legion out of the battlefield and sent it to the occupied area on Beisu No. 1. He even moved a large number of Black Mechanicus personnel to Beisu No. 1 to protect the Titans.
As for psychic communication, it was even more simple and fast. Sefro found that after he sent the communication, the officers of the New Voskani Armored Regiment had received the communication half an hour ago and began to organize a retreat.
"Sefro," Huron called again.
Ever since the previous incident in the arena, Huron had used his skills to impress Sefro. He saluted with great respect, "Please give me your orders."
Huron looked at Sefro with concern and was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Stay vigilant."
Sefro was puzzled.
"I'm not a psyker, but I know the price to pay and the risks to use psionic powers." Huron knocked on his head, "Don't get lost, don't be gullible, don't let something control your brain, Stay awake at all times and be alert at all times.”
"Yes." Sefro paid great attention to every word Huron said.
Huron nodded and waved to Sefro: "You should take a break after using psychic powers many times. Call the director of the think tank over. He will complete your work before you have a good rest."
Sefro saluted again, turned and left.
A member of the former Think Tank of the Star Claw Chapter, the predecessor of the Red Corsairs, walked onto the bridge.
The two friends, who had fought side by side for many years, nodded to each other and then began to cooperate in a tacit understanding.
Chapter 395 Something is wrong
……
Beisu.
Hive City No. 7.
A transport plane carried two six-man red pirate combat teams and flew to the hive.
Leading the two combat squads was Ancado, who had served Venngar.
"Brothers, just be mentally prepared when you go down in a while. You don't need to be as nervous as facing a big battle." Ankado looked at the No. 7 hive below and told his brothers what they should pay attention to in a while.
"Yes!"
Amidst the responses of the battle brothers, Ancardo kept his eyes on the hive, sizing it up.
The only thing about this hive is that it's small.
Compared with other hives in the hive complex in Beisu, it is nothing to mention, but before coming, Ankado heard that this is the hive with the longest history in Beisu.
Ankado, who has never lived in a hive city, cannot understand why the Beisu people are unwilling to expand Hive City No. 7 and continue to live in it. Instead, they build other hive cities and name the hive city where their ancestors lived No. 7 instead of No. 7. Number one.
But this is not important. What is important is that the mission of this trip is to go to the nest to pick up the ritual materials found by the mortal servant army.
Under the orders of the Great Maelstrom and the Lord of the Red Pirates, the Black-Hearted King, the troops that besieged the main nests of the North Host began to retreat backwards, pulling them into the small nests or ground buildings that they had easily obtained without bloodshed, and then in Huron Under the orders of the think tank, he rummaged through boxes and cabinets to search for ritual materials.
But unfortunately, although the occupied area was obtained without any blood or effort, nothing useful was obtained. Standard power armor, printing equipment, dimension engines... nothing useful was left behind.
Some of the hives controlled by the Empire's State Religion went even further during the transfer. The State Religion directly produced sacred wax oils, ritual items, and emperor statues that were used to spend time to show their sincerity... These things were placed in the bombed industrial equipment. and the ashes or fragments of supplies, so that even if the enemy finds the residue, they cannot use subspace wizardry to turn the residue into usable defective products.
Nothing useful can be found in most of the occupied areas, except for Hive No. 7.
There were a few hundred remnants here, too few, but better than nothing.
"Command the New Voskani Armored Regiment, command the Flame Lord Titan Legion, and use the warships of each war gang like an arm... Huron has been a little too prosperous recently."
Since this mission was really boring, a talkative battle team leader found a topic to chat about.
These words simply spoke to the hearts of Ancado and the others.
Ever since Abaddon's condition became unknown and the Black Legion began killing anyone who last saw the Warmaster on Cadia, the Hurons became the new favorite of the Dark Gods.
No matter how much Huron warned the Red Corsairs to be wary of the gods, and imitate some bastard warband who promoted undivided chaos, Huron benefited from the gods.
He is in high spirits and is proud of the spring breeze.
The Red Corsair Warband has nearly 40,000 Space Marines, and many of the faction leaders within it are listening to Huron's command, whether they are forced to or sincerely. After all, everyone hopes to get closer to the future Warmaster to avoid being reduced to one another. The goro meat jerky beats you to the point of life and death.
"Don't talk about this." Ancardo signaled the brothers to be silent, then glanced at the mortal pilot in the cabin, and switched the communication channels of the two combat teams to the encrypted communication channel previously created by Veengar.
Ancardo then continued to speak freely: "No matter what, Weengar is dead, we are lucky that Huron will not deal with it... Huron sent us to escort the ritual materials instead of attacking the nest, which shows that he They trust us very much, and at least they don’t want to take us out to die.”
The transport plane has been getting closer and closer to the hive city, flying in from the transportation pipe of the lower hive.
"Now, let us take away those ritual materials." Ancado loaded the bolt gun, "and then return to Huron's cousin, continue to pretend to be a loyal servant, just like his starry sky Same with the Claw veterans.”
The battle brothers cheered and lined up to walk off the transport plane after it stopped.
"I just need two pieces of tender skin to clean the gun. I hope to find a little guy."
