"I knew those scumbags of Slaanesh were more likely to fail than succeed!"
After Zhu Fu received the news of the Flawless Blade war gang's retreat, he made a contemptuous comment.
But having said that, this actually had some impact on his plan. Originally, he thought that even if Lucius and his gang failed to behead them, they could still hold back and interfere with Soshyan's command center for a period of time. During this period,
is very important.
The "one step away" message he sent to Huron is indeed correct. Four thousand warriors have now entered the Star Castle. They have occupied one-third of the area, and the farthest part is even close.
One of the nine reactors in the Star Fortress, the strength of the defenders has obviously been pushed to the limit.
At this time, the main opponent's command is in chaos. If Zhu Fu works harder here, it is possible to achieve the goal.
Then the entire battle situation will be reversed in an instant.
But now Lucius was beaten away without even touching the opponent's ship. It didn't matter that he ran away, Zhu Fu's plan immediately ran into huge problems.
Now he is not sure whether the empire still has any remaining strength. If he continues to invest now, it may be possible to break the deadlock, but it is also possible that the other side will increase the pressure. After all, Soshyan, who has a stable command, can also increase the number of defenders again, thus turning the battle into a
A simple addition and subtraction problem.
If a raid turns into such a war of attrition with more water and more face and more water, it will basically fail. After all, even the morale of the Chaos Space Marines is limited. Except for those Khorne lunatics, Zhu Fu knows that no one is willing to fight for real.
To the point where both jade and stone are destroyed.
Including himself, after all, Giuffre was the first one to run away in Flax.
Khorne is the god of war, and war also requires wisdom. Zhufu knew that the blood god expected him to be a war master, so he would never engage in any blood sacrifice tricks like those berserker warriors.
His goal is only to win!
Of course, as a war master, Zhu Fu also had to consider another situation.
If it really cannot be conquered, how can the deployed troops escape?
So far, he has no intention of escaping like Vraks did at the time. After all, his reputation has been established now. Doing such a thing easily will damage his reputation. The title of a coward is still relatively high for a Chaos Warlord.
severe patella
This time he came to the Maelstrom not only with Abaddon's arrangements, but also with his own plans. He couldn't give up halfway before reaping the benefits.
After careful consideration, Zhu Fu made a relatively prudent decision.
He arranged several large gang-hopping teams to conduct gang-hopping operations against the Imperial warships around the Blessing Barrier to distract Soshyan, and then personally led the team to launch the final charge.
If you really can get it, then keep fighting. If you can't get it, you can cover the retreat of others.
This time, his willingness to take on such rearguard duties was not a sign of conscience. Just by doing so, Huron could not say much, and he could also gain the favor of some red pirate lords.
If Huron is really defeated, these good feelings will be very useful.
"The enemy seems to be here again."
In the star fort, the third company led by Farzad had just repelled another wave of attacks by the red pirates. Before they could replenish their ammunition, noises soon came from the distance.
The place where they were stationed was also the location where the Star Castle was attacked the deepest by the Red Pirates. Less than one kilometer behind them was one of the Star Castle's main reactors. Once the enemy caused damage, it would likely have catastrophic consequences, so this water pumping station became
The most important thing was that the several Skitarii that had been stationed before were all maimed by the enemy's attacks, including the fourth company, which had to move to a relatively safe defense area after more than 20 people were killed.
At this time, the third company, which had a relatively complete force, took on the heavy responsibility of defense. They were assisted by a half-disabled Skitarii and a battle robot brigade, as well as some scattered mortal armed forces, totaling about 10,000 people, and the pumps they defended.
After a fierce battle, the walls on both sides of the station were basically damaged, and everyone could only use the metal facilities and debris as bunkers.
Although the water gate was closed, some water still leaked out during the battle. There was a thin layer of water on the ground, and many corpses were lying in it. There were Skitarii, battle robots that were still emitting sparks, and twisted cultists.
and huge Chaos Space Marines.
After hearing Zod's words, when Oscar saw the enemies through the scope, the auxiliary sensor of the helmet began to automatically count their number - they were irredeemable Chaos cultists, most of them were shirtless and wore their shirts around their waists.
During the period, there were patterns carved with blood on the skin, and they were equipped with all available weapons they could find - laser guns, knives, sharpened rusty metal, and some heavy weapons.
Each Chaos Cultist's eyes are wide-eyed, making them look full of desperate resentment mixed with some unknown fear, and such emotions may explode at any time.
"Brothers! Followers of the Skull Reaver! Today, we face the ultimate enemy! Before we can truly glorify the Blood God with our lives, He has once again arranged a test of our faith for us!"
The cult leaders began to encourage these crazy mortals.
"Warriors, we have succeeded in pleasing our master and our god, and this has made him decide to reward us and reward us with more heads! Those heads! Those of Space Marines, of ignorant scum, of blind machines.
!Here, let us sacrifice in His name! We are willing to die in His name! This will prove His great power to the weak!"
The crowd cheered wildly and roared with wild joy for the upcoming battle.
'Brothers! Get your weapons! The cowards of the Empire will bow to your wrath!'
Then the Chaos Cultists spread out and began to move, roaring and cutting themselves, immersed in the great slaughter that was about to come.
The weakest cannon fodder rushed at the front, while a large number of infantry waved their messy weapons and roared out their bloodthirsty desires.
"Fire." Pat
Almost without Farzad's personal orders, after the enemy came into range, the accompanying priests commanded the Skitarii to start attacking. Their weapons burst out into clusters of flame flowers, and then the first wave of heretics fell, and some people's
The heads disappeared directly, some were cut into two pieces, and all these guys fell to the ground in a burst of water.
But the heretics continued to rush forward. Behind the cannon fodder were fanatic believers who were relatively less cannon fodder. They were smeared with blood-colored ointment and wore simple armor. Their bodies were covered with scars and brands, and their eyes contained bloody madness.
Those who had weapons to fight back fired pieces of laser gun beams into the bunker. Some of them hit the Skitarii and burned a small hole in them. A few of them hit the Space Marines' armor and left traces, but no one's armor was damaged.
breakdown.
Five minutes later, Farzad moved his hand, raised his battle ax, and then made a quick downward cutting motion. At this signal, the tactical team's bolter spit out a burst of explosive steel.
