Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 430 Black and Red, a Plan in the Shadows ([-]) Blood and Moon
Warmth is always a short moment, but war will only follow its pace.

Three hours after the opening of the subspace wave, Helm, who had already deployed the only team in his hand, finally followed the trade wind and heard the inhuman howling of the Fallen from the edge of the lava sea.

Under the high ground where the weapon base station is located, the black basalt formed by the solidification of lava occupies Helm's entire field of vision.

And at the end of this dark rock formation extending all the way to the sky, there is already a crowd of the same black, winding and twisting like a thin black line.

A team of hundreds of thousands of fallen people appeared from three directions and occupied the entire field of vision in just ten minutes.

These people are made up of people originally polluted by Chaos, and they are overwhelmingly composed of commoners, with a few bureaucrats and merchants among them.

More organized rebels and hordes of demons are still raging in the hive city, and based on the population of the three peak hive cities, this should only be a fraction of the vanguard.

There are a lot of people, more than you can imagine.And even this first wave of depraved civilians has already exceeded the ammunition of the Astartes.

So the fleet waiting in orbit received the flagship's order, and when the crowd occupied the entire plain, they used the macro cannons on their side decks to drop more than a hundred shells on the black plain for destruction.

The huge space battleships slowly turned their bodies, and aimed their side weapon decks at the ground.

The moment the locomotive-sized shell left the muzzle, it pulled out a fine tail flame in the vacuum along with the kinetic energy of the barrel, and flew towards the ground of Barlogo.

After entering the atmosphere, the dark warhead was accelerated again by gravity, and then hammered heavily into the ground after howling.

The unlucky ones who were directly empowered were smashed into powder without any struggle, and the red shock wave followed immediately. In the process of spreading out for nearly a hundred meters, it squeezed and smashed nearly a thousand people along the way in midair , evaporated, and then left the last wreckage scattered on the earth...

Large and large circular air rings flashed in the crowd, exposing the black ground under their feet again, but the bones of the dead were not cold, and more latecomers crowded to fill it up again.

And the "fire rain" falling on the orbit continued, so the previous doomsday scene repeated itself again...

This is natural disaster, this is also war.

It is hard to say how the Space Wolves feel when they see the people they guarded become what they are today, but they are clearly prepared enough for this kind of scene, and the preparation work is still proceeding in an orderly manner, but the entire position There is an air field like low and medium pressure.

Reinforcements are also arriving one after another. As the teams from other battlefields successfully evacuate, these people appear from the end of the sky as dots of flashes.

The airdrop pod with the emblem of the wolf group rubbed against the atmosphere violently, and burned orange light with the local impurities in the air.

However, there are still too many people. This should not be a task that a company without heavy weapons can undertake. Their characteristics have no room to display their characteristics under the task of holding on without depth.

There is no room for decapitation tactics, because all they see are crazy degenerates;
There is no room to move around, because the weapon base station is here, and no matter how expensive and hard the knife is, it will be worn and broken under the impact of endless gravel.

In front of a crowd of this magnitude, the automatic weapon platform and minefield that Helm prepared at hand were more effective in killing and killing than the bolt gun.

The dense bullet chain of the former is enough to clear all living creatures in the field of vision within a few seconds; while the terrifying penetrating ability of the latter becomes an overpowering weapon before the real demons appear.

So both Helm and the later wild wolves gave up the bolt weapons in their hands. They took out the logging guns from the warehouse of the defense army, and then occupied the favorable terrain and continued to shoot around.

The dense rain of bullets swept across the front row of the crowd, and the bullets enough to shatter the torso penetrated several bodies before they were unwilling to stop.

However, the latecomers were still moving forward amidst the large expanse of smudged blood and stumped limbs. They rushed out of the blood mist before the corpse in front of them even landed on the ground.

The corpses quickly piled up on the ground, piled up again, and the huge amount of bones eventually turned into a short ramp.And the crowds of people immediately crossed them, and used their own bodies to rebuild the same ramp in the open space again...

The gap between the two sides on the plain was quickly filled, and the bloodiest and most tragic hand-to-hand battle was about to come.The wild wolves handed over the control of the weapon base station to the defending army stationed there, and they themselves began to gather at the front line of the position.

The crowd finally reached the edge of this small highland, and then broke through the blockade of the automatic weapon platform under the watchful eyes of the wild wolves.

And the death of a large number of lives in a short period of time also made the already unstable space structure here penetrated by the subspace again, and created more portals...

On the front of the position on the high ground, the gunfire of the wild wolves continued, and at the end of a hidden path at the foot of the mountain, the recruit Marsh stationed on the cliff had just finished his battle here.

In the acrid gunpowder smoke, Marsh put down the weapon in his hand. Frowning, he picked up the heavy magazine from the ammunition box under his feet, and then replaced it with the empty one on the heavy bolter.

The position of this position is extremely secret, it is an inconspicuous path under the height of the weapon base station.The wave of people just now didn't impact him, only a few people appeared here, but he also killed them one by one.

But he didn't feel relaxed, because he saw some familiar figures in the flow of people-the uniforms of the defense forces who had been on duty in this position.

This is not accidental, but the enemy's temptation to this hidden intersection.

He reacted immediately and shot the soldiers hidden in the crowd one by one. However, the enemy did not give up, and more figures were rushing here instead.

And that's not the reason for his solemn expression, what really made him feel the pressure were those figures hidden behind the crowd.

Those figures were of various shapes, but they were not humanoid. Some of them had been shot and killed by Marsh's heavy bolter in the previous test, while others had escaped from his firepower just now.

"demon……"

Marsh said this newly learned vocabulary in his mouth, matching it with the flashing red figure scanned on his helmet.

Automatic weapons platforms are clearly inadequate against such enemies, and the bolt gun in his hand doesn't seem to be able to kill them outright.

Incendiary bombs... The young Bloodclaw looked behind him, and there were six red storage tanks lying quietly in a small ammunition box.The red paint on the special alloy tanks means they are dangerous, and the big "Pm" mark under the yellow skull shows its material and use.

The power of these six incendiary bombs is enormous, and they are one of the few weapons that can be seen in the hands of the star border army, which can melt through the ceramic steel armor.

But it's a pity that the number of them is too scarce. This is already the entire inventory in Marsh's hands. It's not that Helm doesn't want to give it any more, but the entire weapon base station doesn't have more.

But according to the number of enemies revealed just now, they are still not enough...

The footsteps on the path under the cliff gave Marsh no time to think about it, and he focused on shooting again, and the ensuing battle was exactly as he expected:

The attacking crowd was no longer composed of civilians, but instead some established Star Militia Army and those demons became the main force of the incoming enemy.

The automatic weapon platforms were destroyed one by one under the fire of the tanks driven by the Star Militia, and the offensive launched by the bloody demons pushed Marsh to a corner.

One, two, three, four.

The incendiary bomb that can burn through even steel eliminated dozens of strange-looking demons, and with the consumption of these few precious ammunition, Marsh also began to prepare for the retreat in his heart.

Another violent attack was repelled, and Marsh, who had emptied the ammunition box, finally knew that it was time for him to retreat.

He made the only two remaining incendiary bombs into a set of booby traps and left them on the ground, and then retreated calmly after staring deeply at the path under his feet.

200 meters, the first intersection.Marsh, who had just left the position, suddenly felt the ground under his feet tremble slightly, and a crimson flame rose behind him.

He looked in that direction and smiled slightly, then walked towards the back of the passage along the hidden lightning line under his feet.

Another 200 meters, Marsh calculated his distance while running;
Turning to the right, Marsh, who was passing through the trench, suddenly looked up, and then in the sight of an abandoned bunker without a roof, a detonator dedicated to the Space Wolves was quietly placed on the ammunition box.

"That's it!" Marsh thought to himself.

However, the footsteps he had just raised were stagnant in mid-air, and on the broad back covered by the heavy ceramic steel armor, there were knotted muscles beating faintly.

Someone, more than one, was right behind him, and he was being followed...

"Damn it!" Marsh turned around slowly with a stiff neck.

And just ten meters behind him, the air surged like a liquid, and then a ferocious giant claw holding a red long sword appeared from the void...

Bah!
Among a pile of broken corpses of demons, Marsh was half kneeling on the ground with a chainsaw sword supporting his body.

His broad chest under the broken breastplate was panting violently, while a pair of extremely contracted wolf pupils were staring at the remaining enemies in front of him.

An enemy who saw him slaughter all the demons without leaving the battle;

A demon that can ignore physical attacks, causing Marsh to suffer a lot from the first encounter.

"Nice job." A distinctly non-human voice expressing its appreciation to Marsh in profanity.

Under the crest of crimson long horns twisted, the long and narrow sheep's head shows a humanized expression.

And the same narrow and long beheading sword in its hand was following the devil's mind, and after flicking a few sword flowers lightly, it pointed steadily at Marsh's head.

The instinctive reaction made Marsh instantly block the chainsaw sword behind his back, and the demon that disappeared from his front appeared just behind him.

With the force of the slash on his back, Marsh strode forward and then slashed back with all his strength.

However, the sudden pain in the waist and the rampant laughter of the enemy let him know that this was another play of that demon on him after passing through the shackles of space.

The lines of the power pack have been cut in half, and the solidified sol has been used up in the wounds under the shoulder armor and breastplate.The armor on his body has become heavier after losing half of its energy supply.And the detonator was a few meters away from Marsh's side, but he never seemed to be able to touch it.

"Can you still fight? Mortals?" The demon laughed. The wounds on its body that were torn by the chainsaw sword were healing visible to the naked eye, and the hormones and potions used for healing had bottomed out in Marsh's power armor.

Is no one here yet?Marsh thought in between battles.

A few minutes ago, he had confirmed that he was unable to complete the task, and he also sent out a request for help in the direction of the main position.

But there was no news of the irritable old Helm in the past, and the position less than one kilometer away from him also fell into an eerie silence.

The communication channel was full of battle cries and roars just now, but now there is no sound other than the occasional gasp.The orbital communication was full of noise, and there was no message of any reinforcements appearing.

"What a pity..." The devil's voice sounded from behind Marsh again, and this time he had no strength to avoid it.

He calmly took out the remaining tobacco in his arms, and slowly closed his eyes amidst the sound of the wind breaking from the giant sword beside his ears...

hum!
The severe air blast interrupted the beheading, and Marsh, who was blown away by the shock wave, barely raised his head.

A silver portal was unfolding in front of him, and the demon who had hidden his figure during the battle just now was squatting awkwardly on a scrapped logging gun, carefully observing the figure that appeared from the portal.

"Grey knight..." As an existence that also possesses psychic powers, the demon has recognized and known the existence of the person the moment he saw the projection of the soul of the person in front of him.

"Grey Knight?" Marsh leaned against the trench wall, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, and murmured the strange name.

It was this figure that made the demon in front of him emerge from the shadows, and it was this figure that gave the wild wolf who was about to die a new hope.

boom!
The silver-gray figure exerted strength instantly, waving the halberd in his hand and rushed towards the demon, but the red demon who had just mastered the supernatural power retreated in embarrassment at this moment.

"In the name of the Emperor!" The pure, steel-colored figure roared loudly;

"In the name of the Titan!" The azure blue halberd blade looked like an ocean, and it was slashed towards the demon under the hands covered in steel.

puff!
Without too much confrontation, the demon who was still invincible in front of Marsh just now was beheaded by this existence named Gray Knight.

And its fallen body was burning fiercely in an incandescent flame just like its head.

A similar situation appeared on the entire land of Balogo, and the Unremitting Jihad, which guided the precise arrival of these gray knights, hung high above the starry sky like a silver moon.

"The will of the Legion!" Calvin, who had returned to the battleship at some point, closed his eyes, and knelt down on one knee, leaning on the Imperial Truth in his hand.

And on more than a dozen battlefields throughout Ballogo, hundreds of gray knights who had just finished killing demons also followed suit.

From the perspective of psionic energy, there is a huge silver halo spreading from the original body to the surrounding starry sky.

And from the perspective of looking down on the entire Ballogo from the starry sky, there are countless similar silver spots shining brightly on the blood-colored land...

　Update, Calvin, to make up for yesterday's.Post first and then edit, sorry for typos.
