Chapter 200 Black and Red, the Plan in the Shadows (49) Decisive Battle, Part 1
The thick fog on the battlefield began to dissipate at some point, and the giants of the Titan Legion and the tide of demons at their feet finally showed their full view to the soldiers of the empire.
Dozens of giants covered with twisted and alien armor and evil ornaments were walking towards them with footsteps that could shake the earth. The weapons in their hands that were as big as trains were also using red rays that exuded curses and ominousness.
, burning all obstacles within sight.
Three Shadow Sword super-heavy tanks that were not able to be withdrawn in the future became part of the first batch of victims.
Scarlet energy lit up from a distance of more than ten kilometers, and the thick flame flow went straight through the unlowered gate, wiping out the three Shadow Swords and dozens of crew members in an instant.
The thick bunker was easily overturned by missiles, and the Leman Russ tank used as a firepower point was destroyed by direct heavy artillery fire.
The Titans' steps were still unhurried, but every slight pause between their walks meant that the lives of a group of imperial soldiers were permanently lost on the battlefield.
The southern foothills of Evergreen Hills are also facing a test. Unlike the battlefield in the north, the Imperial soldiers here are facing the betrayal of the Word Bearers, who are once again attacking them in legion mode after thousands of years.
.
Hundreds of Astartes, in units of hundreds, launched a fierce attack on the Empire's positions.
The soldiers of the empire did not sit still and wait for death, but began to fight back with their sophisticated weapons.
The red barrages of Hellguns rose in sheets, while the dense and precise bolt shells of the Corrupted Astartes also rained down.
The moment the two sides entered the boundary of firepower, they began the most brutal exchange of personnel. However, although the quality of the Tindalos Legion's soldiers was elite enough, they still collapsed in front of the more powerful Astartes...
This is not a fair war at all, because even the Tindalos Legion's sophisticated weapons configuration cannot effectively kill the thick Astartes power armor on a one-to-one basis.
Hell guns and logging guns cannot penetrate the ceramite armor unless they can hit the vital points. They can only use their daring will to cause casualties to the enemy with concentrated fire shots.
Even when the position was about to be lost, the artillery fire fired in response to the soldiers' last request could not directly kill an Astartes with shrapnel without a direct hit.
Ten to one, twenty to one, even thirty to one...
This is the number of bullets consumed by both parties to effectively kill their respective targets based on their respective physical qualities.
Five to one, thirty to one, one hundred to one...
This is the battlefield exchange ratio between the enemy and ourselves in the initial charge of the Word Bearers regardless of casualties. And this ratio is rapidly shifting towards the side of the Word Bearers under the influence of the declining firepower density caused by the continuous death of Imperial soldiers.
The sudden increase in the number of casualties and the position on the verge of collapse forced the commanders of mortal soldiers to activate hidden firepower points in advance.
What awaits them for this counterattack are the Brutal Blade super-heavy tanks that have appeared in organic form behind the enemy, as well as the airborne strikes that have fallen from the orbit like meteors...
After a tense and urgent march, the Sea Wolf Company of the Space Wolves finally arrived at the battlefield fifteen minutes after the war began.
They blocked the leading force of the Word Bearers with a dense rain of bullets, and then used their best hand-to-hand combat to completely eliminate this group of hundreds of Word Bearers.
But more Word Bearers rushed towards their ranks. Two teams of Astartes, less than a kilometer apart, used their respective weapons to bring death greetings to the enemy.
The Word Bearers continued to fall, and the wolves also suffered obvious casualties. The balance on the battlefield entered the most anxious turmoil, and after the second batch of airborne pods fell, a group belonging to the rebels, numbering nearly
The appearance of hundreds of Terminator squadrons completely broke the front line that the wolves had struggled to maintain.
"For All-Father and Russ!" A leading wolf guard wielded his giant ax and chopped the blocked chain sword into pieces, then swept across and chopped off the head of the Word Bearer in front of him.
Before he could regain his posture, another Word Bearer struck with his power sword raised high.
With no time to choose, he simply turned sideways and sent out his shoulder armor. Amidst the harsh scratching sounds and cries of pain, one of his arms was cut off at the root.
"die!"
The heavy ax appeared in the next second with a whistling sound that broke through the air. Before the enemy could lift the sword in his hand, the head with the laurel wreath of Colchis flew up instantly, and black and red blood was spread all over his body.
Bang!
The sound of a plasma gun firing sounded, and Wolf Guard's body stiffened instantly. He first looked at the enemy not far away, and then looked at the hole in his chest with some regret.
The roars of other comrades on the battlefield gradually faded away, and he slowly knelt on the ground with his tomahawk in his hand, falling into eternal sleep...
"Ruth..." A weak sigh was his last voice in this world.
Similar scenes kept repeating themselves on the battlefield. The battle lines of the Wild Wolves were shrinking violently. The Empire's position was now unable to fight, and the number of Word Bearers who continued to join the battlefield seemed endless.
In the Word Bearers formation at the foot of the mountain, the Dark Apostles are watching the battle on the top of the mountain, and these descendants of Russ are using their last roars to meet their inevitable end...
Buzz!
Weak psychic energy fluctuations resounded in the Word Bearers' main formation. Many dark wizards instantly noticed the anomalies nearby. Counter spells came from their bodies intensively and their canes lit up. However, the unfamiliar psychic energy fluctuations seemed to be unknown.
Awareness persists stubbornly and continues to expand its existence.
"spread!"
The chief priest gave the order decisively, and then the first one retreated to the rear. Several guards wearing Terminator power armor stepped forward, blocking the chief of the Dark Council behind them.
The war-hardened Dark Apostles formed a circle at a distance, with spells and destructive spiritual energy in their hands ready to be unleashed, waiting for the moment the target appeared before they would be released instantly.
Tear...
The curtain of reality made a sound like tearing silk, and behind this sound there was the crackle of electricity.
A dazzling thunder light emerged from nothing, then grew from small to large, and finally expanded outward into a ring. The moment it radiated outward, it completely tore open the curtain of reality.
Intensive spells were thrown at the center of the thunder, but the wizards who created them changed their positions one after another. Protective spiritual energy rose from their bodies. Precious demon servants were also summoned in groups, and then they were thrown in the direction of the thunder.
out.
Erebus squinted his eyes and hid behind the crowd. He was obviously well prepared for this "sudden" change.
Not only did the chief priest not try to attack this "thunder", on the contrary, he was quietly retreating when all the dark apostles were leaning towards their strength.
boom!
The power of the ring lightning accumulated to its peak and then exploded. Calvin and his Gray Knights appeared instantly in the violent energy fluctuations.
The surrounding spells collapsed under the command called "Warp Throw", and after many demons responded to the call and came to reality, the first thing they saw was a group of gray angels standing...
