Stark roared and pulled the trigger, and the huge automatic cannon roared like a wild beast. The two Catachan veterans gritted their teeth and forced the weapon with huge recoil to not move at all.
Under the action of the powerful "stabilizer", the cannonballs streaked straight through the air, and then hit the hell flying dragon's head continuously and accurately, exploding the twisted flamethrower in its mouth the moment it spit out flames.
The next second, amid the whine, its entire neck was exploded by the out-of-control flames, dragging the flames to the ground like a bird with a broken neck, while the other two hell flying dragons turned around and ran away in fright.
Seeing the falling Hell Dragon being blown into countless pieces by the angry Catachans, Stark let out a sigh of relief, threw the automatic cannon directly off the city, then pulled out two cigars from his armed belt and threw them to Hacker respectively.
With Mabo.
"You did a good job."
As he spoke, he took out one himself and lit it with the twisted fire that had not yet been extinguished.
After taking a puff of the cigarette that smelled slightly of subspace, Huck pointed at the head of the Chaos Space Marine on Mabo's waist and smiled.
"Such a little bastard is boring, we have to deal with the whole big one."
Huck, whose arms were red, blew out a smoke ring and laughed.
"How big do you want it to be?"
"I think Huron's is pretty good."
"Then we need to be quick, as there are many people staring at his head."
At this time, Stark seemed to see something. He walked to the wall with an angry look, pointed down and said:
"That! That one over there! That's right! You're masturbating to the Hell Dragon. You're such an idiot! Do you want me to pry open your head to see if there's a poisonous frog in heat inside?"
Under Stark's command, the Catachan II Regiment quickly cleared the battlefield, and they became the first Astra Militarum team to break through the central hive's protective wall.
The second-placed Cadian 8th Regiment took 41 minutes to break through the central nest wall, and the third-placed Krieger 19th Armored Regiment took 67 minutes to break through the central nest wall.
At this point, the Imperial Expeditionary Force's Ascension Day Offensive in the Badab Theater completed the first key step. Then the commanders conducted a round of rotation of the troops, replaced the new troops on the front line, and immediately launched an attack on the Zhongchao
, not intending to give the remnant enemy any breathing space.
According to Layinfu's vision, they will destroy the enemy before the Emperor's Ascension Festival and celebrate the most important festival of the empire on the enemy's corpse.
Most of the Astra Militarum generals are optimistic about this, because in their view, after several days of fierce attacks, the Red Corsairs have lost most of their troops, including dead Space Marines. Only the number of Chaos Space Marines that can be counted is
There are more than three hundred people, and the actual number may be more than five hundred. According to previous expectations, the Chaos Space Marine garrison on Sartosa will not exceed 1,000 at most.
But the actual situation was far more complicated than the generals of the expeditionary force estimated, because after Honso came to Badab to take charge of the defense, he immediately increased the garrison of Sartusa Nest to 3,000!
Therefore, although they lost most of their nest, the Red Pirates' power also shrunk to the extreme, like a clenched fist. Under the pressure of death, they planned to launch a desperate counterattack.
The upper nest of Sartosa is completely different from the messy middle nest and the barbaric lower nest. The original order and rules are maintained to the greatest extent here, but the church that worshiped the emperor in the past has turned into a bloody arena. Around it,
, manufacturing plants and slaughterhouses are tightly packed together, bloody processing machines stand, burning promethium erupts occasionally, and blackened cargo piles merge into a nightmarish urban landscape, everywhere that can be seen
direction extension.
But on the other hand, there are not many huge temples or dark altars that are common in chaotic worlds. Huron strictly prohibits his lords from conducting large-scale sacrifices and worshiping gods in private. This is what makes the Word Bearers most dissatisfied.
The place.
Dietrich dragged heavy steps through the dusty road, his soldiers following him, and a huge creature loomed at the end of the road.
As an Iron Warrior, Dietrich no longer has the concept of many brothers. It is even difficult for him to fully trust the bodyguards who have followed him for thousands of years, and the only one he trusts is this.
The Word Bearers trust their gods, but even the most powerful gods manifest themselves as flesh and bone rather than adamantium plates and tempered steel.
To him, it was not God, but his brother.
After approaching, he raised his head. From its thick tracks to the highest circular turret, this engine was more than 6 meters tall, dwarfing even the Terminator.
This is a Brutal Blade, but the name of the former legion has been erased. It once had many names, Black Eyes, Light of Hatred, and Shattered Wolf, but after Dietrich obtained him from Huron,
It has only one name -
Tyrant's Hammer.
As a red pirate who is good at joining gangs and is good at land warfare, Huron has long realized the huge weakness of the power in his hands, so he is also actively changing. Through long-term plunder, salvage, and even purchase, Huron in the 50s
He started building his own armor force years ago.
However, this process was not easy. After spending enough resources and costs to arm a main fleet, Huron could only cobble together six super-heavy armor companies. Each super-heavy armor company was composed of 6 strike teams and 1 command team.
, a squad includes 2-3 heavy tanks or one super-heavy tank depending on the situation.
If it were just the Predators commonly used by the Astartes now, Huron would not be so strenuous. The super-heavy armored companies he built were all using vehicles from the Great Crusade era that were already very rare in the current 41st millennium, fighting on Xikaran.
Mainly tanks and Scimitar tanks, as well as a small number of Brutal Blades and Cerberus heavy tank destroyers, their goal is to target the Empire's Knight Family and Titan Legion.
Of course, Huron's whole idea is to eventually build thirty super-heavy armored companies, so that he will have a real means of attacking cities and territories, instead of just attacking weak imperial worlds by exploiting every opportunity.
Dietrich led the Red Pirates' fourth super-heavy armor company, also known as the "Huron Iron Fist".
When they left Terra under the Imperial Expedition Order, they were deployed by Huron on Sartusa. When Honso arrived at Badab, he ordered him to return to Badab Prime, but Dietrich looked down upon this bastard.
It is even less possible to accept his wisdom.
As one of Huron's most trusted commanders, Dietrich left the legion very early and joined the Red Pirates. After gaining Huron's trust, he was also very loyal to Huron, but in turn he became very arrogant. In addition to Huron's
No one listens to orders and obeys no one. Even several war lords can't control him. Huron's indulgence out of "love of talent" further gave birth to his arrogance, even the lords on Sartosa.
Don't take it seriously either.
So, he refused Honso's transfer order on the grounds of Huron's order, and Honso sued Huron again, but Huron didn't respond for a while, and the two sides were pulling each other into the void for half a year.
, when the Imperial fleet surrounded the galaxy, it was already too late to leave.
However, Dietrich did not panic. Sartusa had been operating for so many years, the nest was strong enough, and there were sufficient supplies. It would not be a problem to persist for a year or two.

At least he believes that as long as he holds on firmly, there will be a way.
