Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 251 110 Chapter Seven: Storm Attack and Defense (4)

The fighting situation on the star castle is much more intense than the space station at the beginning.

After the suddenness brought by the first round of blows, the orcs naturally activated their own defense mechanism.

Arden followed his team steadily forward, and the yellow Mark VI power armor was indistinguishable from the background under the dark red lighting.

Clanging steel boots stepped over the charred corpse of the orc in front of him. Alvin, the team leader of the No.2 team in front, patiently fired explosive bombs at the complete corpse of the orc, so as not to cause any fraudulent death. Appear.

After dozens of steps forward and turning a corner, the space in front suddenly opened up.The corpses of hundreds of orcs collapsed around the front half of a landing torpedo.

Straw-like out to the center of the crouching orcs were the mutilated corpses of five Astartes.

The melta bomb was the full stop to the final dignified ending of this tragedy;

The twisted torpedo door and the anti-seismic clamp that failed to fully release formed the beginning of this failed operation.

Congreve, the veteran at the front of the team, stopped slowly, and the detection array on the heavy Terminator power armor began to work in a whisper;
He smashed down the jumping shield in his hand, put the heavy weapon in his hand on it, and aimed it at the passage at the end of the hall.

Team leader Alvin stepped forward slowly, lowered his head to identify the situation of these corpses, then turned his head and shouted to Arden:

"Pharmacist, you have work to do."

The servo skull floated above the team and patrolled around. Amidst the harsh sound of demolition drills, Arden collected and recovered the gene seeds that could be recovered from the five brothers.

"The Emperor's Blessing!"

Arden said in a low voice, then stood up to pack the equipment, and put the taken out seeds in the special interlayer of the power pack.

When he got up, the team resumed the battle marching formation, and once again advanced towards the depths of the star fort.

The sound of the guns and guns in front became clearer, and most of the orc corpses were seen along the way, but Arden still saw the corpses of Astartes warriors in some positions where the terrain was obviously conducive to defense.

And squads of Astartes, one after another, are also emerging from other dark places.

Some of them are of the same Chapter, but most are not;

Arden watched them, occasionally nodding in response to his fellow pharmacists, before watching them leave.

The main force of the orcs has been repulsed by the first landing troops.

But as a space city that can dock several main battleships at the same time, the space here gives the defender enough room to retreat;
When the orcs were forced to abandon the port and began to retreat to the gate leading to the main body of the star castle, the star army and their armored vehicles, as the main force of the battle, also began to appear.

Large transport ships began to connect at the port of Star Fort, and at least ten Leman Lust tanks were unloaded from the spaceship.

The young Simon was wearing the standard uniform of a Lieutenant of the Star Wars, and looked around from the driver's seat of a Leman Russ Executioner with his entire upper body.

This is the privilege of being a captain, and Simon himself will get it soon.

Privileges are no good at the grassroots level of the military unless they are the right to glory or death.

At least its existence is not conducive to the unity of the soldiers at the bottom.

But the high temperature inside the Leman Rustan tank is also unbearable.

Less than a week after Simon was appointed as the new commander, he couldn't help but start using the privilege, even though his predecessor died in it.

A large number of astral troops passed by them, and their bodies had the same logo as these Leman Russ, indicating that they came from the same astral army.

Simon and his team operated their car, the SAINT ANGELO, and followed the main force.

The orders given to them by the High Command were severe enough, and the Star Guards assigned to the siege battle were naturally elite enough.

As if sensing the approaching gaze of the political commissar, Simon hurriedly retracted his upper body into the car one second before the danger occurred...

The roiling torrent brought the Astral Army and their steel to the battlefield, and after the Astral Army left, on the transport ship at the end of the pier,
The footsteps belonging to the Knight Titan also resounded on the wide pier.

The metal giants over ten meters tall walked off the spaceship in groups of twos and threes according to their respective relationships;
They were the first unit of the High Command to be notified to participate in the war, but also the last combat unit to appear.

Their height just stepped on the limit of the space in the star castle, so after many considerations, they became the final blow for the orcs.

At least four such troops, under the leadership of the Astral Army, started from the four piers of the Star Fort and attacked the orcs guarding the gate.

The Astartes turned to other directions beyond the four gates, and continued to infiltrate and destroy the star castle.

The frontal attack has already begun, and the Star Guards have connected to the Astartes' defense line on the front line, and continue to maintain sufficient pressure on the orcs with their firepower.The Astartes began to gradually surrender their positions, gathering in other directions.

The degradation of suppressing power brought about by the change of weapons is extremely obvious, and the orcs can easily perceive this from the sound of gunfire.

The weapons of mortals are destined to be difficult to compare with the Astartes. If you want to achieve the deterrence and threat of the GW Mark series of bolt guns, you need at least ten times more laser guns to make up for it.

Fortunately, the heavy firepower team had already entered the battle position. With the alternate support of heavy machine guns and mortars, they began to roar. The systematic heavy firepower combined with the infantry's platoon guns finally withstood the pressure from the orcs.

This is just a spontaneous counterattack by the orcs, and the scope of mobilized troops is limited to infantry;

At the position where the front line was out of frontal view, the vehicles that the orcs had assembled were the real main force of this counterattack.

Before the Star Forces had time to take a breather from the offensive just now, they saw a larger-scale torrent of steel.

All kinds of strangely modified orc tanks with crawlers, or orc express vehicles, poured out from behind the front line, and quickly approached the position of the star army.

The offensive assembled by such a large number of vehicles caused great trouble to the Star Border Army.

Their configuration of anti-armor weapons and logging guns is only a conventional base. Once a large number of armor units appear at the same time, after the few anti-armor missiles are exhausted, they can only rely on grenades and incendiary bombs to solve the problem.

And considering the range of these two weapons, you can unilaterally think that this is Dui Zi, the cruel Dui Zi after the defense mechanism is broken down.

A large number of orcs walked out of the position when the star army was suppressed by the frontal offensive, and joined the counterattack amid wild laughter.

There are also jumpers who are not afraid of death, and farts who are tied to bombs and thrown from behind, running forward with the absurdity of crying and laughing along with the traffic in front.

Logging guns and laser guns are shooting at these orcs crazily, but they are extremely ineffective against these fast-moving targets;
The false formation of this seemingly excited resistance group did not give the soldiers courage. They knew that this was the result of the commander losing the corresponding plan.

The rainstorm-like shooting does not have a really stable rhythm. Once there is no follow-up fire vacuum, it is the death of these fighters.

But they just don't have time to adjust, so they can only make do with it, and even if they want to change, they have to wait until the attack is defeated.

So the soldiers know that today's political commissar must have a good temper, which can be seen from his unopened pistol today.

The battle distance of hundreds of meters was approaching in an instant, and the soldiers in the trenches ahead could already see the paintwork of the orc vehicles clearly.

The veterans wrapped the grenades around their waists into a ball with wire, and rolled from the trench to the orc vehicle in the next second...

But the orcs didn't care about their existence at all. Waaaah up again, they frantically followed the tanks and began to charge.

A block or two against the rolling traffic is like a sand building before the tide, fragile and fleeting.

The entire defense line looked precarious at this moment, as if it would be penetrated by the green tide in the next second.

At this moment, behind the human position, their armored force finally appeared in front of everyone belatedly.

The sound of heavy tracks mixed with the sound of low-pitched plasma shooting sounded behind the Star Guardsmen. Every time the silver-white light bullets brought out a ray, everything blocked along the way would be reduced to dust.

And twenty blows of this kind of destruction made the orcs who had already started to calm down.

This is the artillery fire of the regiment's armored battalion, and the timely arrival of 20 Leman Russ Executioners saved the possible rout here.

The participation of the 20 twin-mounted plasma cannons they carried also dealt a head-on blow to the charging orc vehicles.

The thick gun barrel is still working, and after every low-frequency tremor, the high temperature dissipated from the cooling fins is enough to distort the air in front of the commander Seven who is probing from the turret.

Yes, Simon couldn't bear the heat inside the car again, and sneaked out from the driver's seat, but to his surprise, the rest of the driver was just as he thought, all on the grounds of a better view command.

The power of the double-packed large plasma is too outrageous, so that whenever the deadly silver light is lit, it not only melts the orc tanks, but also takes away the lives of orcs along the way;

Conventional bunkers have no defensive significance under the high-temperature rays. Under Leman Ruth's unhurried shooting rhythm, it is only a matter of time before they become molten metal clusters.

The orcs' line of defense began to have hidden heavy firepower that exposed their position, and began to counterattack these tanks.

Just the first round of silver light came on, and at least six heavy firepower on the orc position were penetrated by the defense and directly called accurately.

It must be smashed flat!This was what the orc boss thought after seeing these Leman Russes.

　One more, a little Calvin.
