Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 30 Counterattack
The counter-offensive began across the board.

Since this is a counterattack that everyone can predict and see, all troops are still ready even if it starts very urgently.

Under the dispatch of the main control intelligence, the unmanned artillery will automatically rush to the best shooting location, ready to pour shells on the rebel side after the ground troops are ready.

The infantry entered the arsenal, put on power armor, and quickly took up the neatly displayed laser rifles.

The armored soldiers drove the Leman Ruth tank out of the parking spot under the command of the logistics machinery. They had already learned how to drive this war machine in the training system integrated in the tank.

Duncan prepared faster than all the friendly troops. When he learned from the communicator that the other friendly troops were ready, he immediately entered the Leman Ruth tank and ordered the whole regiment to move forward.

"How should we fight?"

The voice of the acting head of the 31st Regiment came from the cockpit of the tank. He was a young man highly respected by his comrades and took over the command after Albert's death, but he still needed to learn a lot from his predecessors in terms of warfare.

"Advance." Duncan only responded with two words.

This is Qin Mo's order.

There is no specific war plan, no detailed order for which troops to fight where, only advance.

This has to make people wonder what the real purpose of this counterattack is.

"Casual chatting is prohibited on the communication channel!"

"A more detailed order has been issued."

"The order of all our troops is to advance, to attract the main force of the rebel army as much as possible, and to create better battlefield conditions for the legion commander and his guards."

Brian's voice came from the communicator.

Duncan froze for a moment, and then couldn't help asking: "Can I ask, what are the legion commander and the others going to do?"

"They are going to assassinate the leader of the rebel army, and I only found out to avoid leaking the plan."

Hearing this, Duncan was suddenly enlightened, and he poked half of his body out of the hatch to check the situation of his troops.

The infantry, all wearing power armor, gathered around the ten tanks of the whole regiment and marched forward.

The unmanned artillery in the rear had already fired, and after a thunderous rumble, dense explosions appeared on the horizon directly in front.

Before the flames of the explosion disappeared, the second round of artillery salvo had begun.

A moment later, two firepower drones flew in the sky, hovering above the ground troops and advancing slowly.

There are even logistical mechs joining the ranks.

And when everyone in the entire regiment was getting closer to the rebels, another drone flew to the front of the team and deployed a horizontal gravity shield. There were red warning projections around the gravity shield's range of action, warning others not to approach the range of action.

The white medical drone roared overhead and flew into the distance. It is estimated that the troops over there had already exchanged fire with the enemy and there were wounded.

"Above the Emperor." Duncan was a little surprised.

This counterattack was even more powerful than he had imagined. He thought it was a suicide counterattack launched by everyone against the rebels before they died...

"Counterattack!" Duncan raised his chainsaw sword and shouted in the internal communication channel of the 87th Regiment, "For the Emperor! For the Legion Commander!"

The 87th regiment was getting closer and closer to the rebel forces.

These rebels have been cleaned by artillery, and there are not many people left, but they are still fighting back, but all the bullets of live ammunition weapons are stopped by the gravity shield, and only a few lasers hit the power armor or tank armor.

The infantry turn on biological detection to find any surviving enemies, clean them up and move on.

The situation on the 87th regiment is not an exception, and other regiments on the entire front are even advancing faster.

……

While the ground troops were advancing steadily, Qin Mo, Gray and the others were already heading towards the inside of the rebel battle line in transport drones.

They've already passed a lot of rebel units, which seem to know what they're doing, and set up anti-aircraft positions on the spot to open fire on the transport plane.

Standing on the transport plane, you can't even see the ground below. You can only see a huge amount of anti-aircraft artillery fire blocked by the gravity shield. Occasionally, two missiles will fly over, but they will also be crushed by the gravity shield.

"Friendly forces have helped us contain most of the rebels, but we may still face tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rebels. Our next battle will be very difficult."

"But we have to finish. No matter how many people we sacrifice, if I die, you will complete the task."

"As long as the patriarch can be killed, the situation will be reversed."

Qin Mo spoke to the other five people in the power armor of the imperial guards to boost their morale.

But the morale of these people needs no boost at all.

"As long as you're here, there's nothing we can't do," Gray said.

"Of course." Qin Mo nodded with a smile.

The others also nodded with a smile.

After waiting for a while, the transport plane changed from flying to hovering, which meant that the target site had arrived.

This is the location of the rebel patriarch that Qin Mo found through the locator.

Qin Mo got up and walked to the transport cabin door, Gray and the others immediately got up and followed.

"Let's go down in line and activate the gravity shield immediately after leaving the transport plane." Qin Mo said, turning off the gravity shield of the unmanned transport plane, and was the first to jump off.

Since his fall wasn't perfect, his jetpack cushioned him a bit, giving him a better fall.

Others have fallen.

In the dense anti-aircraft artillery fire, the gravity shield also protected the wearer of the Praetorian Power Armor as usual.

The rebels all over the mountains and plains on the ground could only see six figures falling from the artillery fire. They immediately dispersed, looked for or built bunkers, and prepared heavy weapons.

Gray fell to the ground first, then the second, and the third...

Until finally, Qin Mo, who was buffered in the air, landed in the front.

The six stood up straight and looked at the rebels ahead.

The intensive attack immediately swept towards the six people.

These attacks were so dense that they had to turn on the thermal imaging vision, otherwise they would not be able to see the situation outside the gravity shield.

"Psionic reaction detected!"

The prompt sounded, and a purple mark appeared on the HUD of the six people.

Through thermal imaging, it can be seen that it is a huge alien with a height of seven meters, and its psionic attack may come soon.

Qin Mo led the other five people to rush out, the jetpack on his back provided strong thrust when he was running.

Skip all unnecessary enemies and go straight to the position of the patriarch.

Qin Mo ran at the front, ready to resist the attack of spiritual energy, and his eyes were fixed on the patriarch.

But what's strange is that the patriarch failed to release the psionic attack, and its huge body suddenly trembled and fell to the ground.

Qin Mo didn't have time to think about what the hell this was, he immediately controlled the shoulder cannon and fired at the patriarch.

The same goes for the rest.

Six beams shot at the patriarch and vaporized the enemies along the way, followed by twelve balls of light flying out to release a rain of beams.

The patriarch's huge body reacted immediately, rolling twice on the ground to the left to avoid the incoming beam.

It didn't die, but most of the rebels around it died, which made it very angry.

The anger of the patriarch also led to the anger of the entire rebel army.

At this moment, no matter whether it was Qin Mo's side or the other people's side, all the rebels on the front line were thrown into rage anyway, and they began to counterattack regardless of the cost.

Qin Mo kept shooting the patriarch with shoulder cannons and "cleaning" the rebels. Countless rebels were crushed by the gravity shield, but they kept squeezing into the gravity shield's range of action as if they were crazy.

The Patriarch seems to be able to know the trajectory of the shot before the shoulder cannon fires, it can always dodge.

Until it tried to release the psionic attack again after another roll, and fell down suddenly as before, hit by the beam that flew in front of it in the blink of an eye.
