Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 883 Dark Prelude
God's machines walk on the earth.

The attack of the Titan swarm was too fierce to resist.

Ryan withdrew his gaze from the Titans, looked at where the Titans' battle lines had passed, and ordered: "Deploy the Black Stone, deploy the Space Marines to protect the Black Stone."

After issuing the order to protect Blackstone, Ryan began to formulate a list of participating battle groups.

In fact, this had been formulated before the war started, but Ryan hesitated and wanted to adjust it again.

In the original list of participants, the sub-groups and parent groups of the Ultramarines and the Dark Angels were naturally indispensable, but Ryan now wanted to change his mind. He first asked Guilliman for his opinion: "It is better to arrange for those newly joining the expedition. Let the regiment join the war, we will have two separate heirs, and the sub-group can be arranged."

"I agree." Guilliman nodded.

The two original bodies looked at Qin Mo again.

Naturally, Qin Mo had nothing to say to this kind of solicitation of opinions purely to show respect. He was not the original body anyway, so he nodded.

If the Astra Militarum were deployed in this way, some people would inevitably think that the general would remove his cronies and arrange for new arrivals to fight. This would somewhat mean that others would die.

These Space Marines do not directly participate in the battles of the God Machines, regardless of whether their Chapters field heavy vehicles or fighter aircraft.

If Llane still allows the Ultramarines and Dark Angels to take over the battle, those Space Marine Chapters will be very dissatisfied.

Maybe a Space Marine or two went out onto the dead world and rescued a few hapless Tyrones from the mutants.

With several adjustments by Lane on the combat list, a large number of new warbands who joined the expedition and the Primaris Space Marines brought by Caul were released.

The fleet in space bombarded other planets while dropping black stone structures onto the unbreakable defense line.

Then the warriors who help the war group obtain material rewards will receive awards from the group leader, which are just honorary awards.

The Primaris Space Marine combat teams will be arranged with the combat teams of each chapter except the first company near the Blackstone structure that is being deployed to ensure the safety of the Blackstone structure.

But the Space Marines don't think so.

Those Primaris Space Marines brought by Caul were inevitably not satisfied with being assigned an idle job, but when they discovered that the enemy would still use detours to try to snatch the Blackstone construct at any cost, they were extremely satisfied with their mission. .

Where the black stone structure has influence, where the realm of reality is created without breaking the defense line, the Space Marines directly use dimensional teleportation to reach the battlefield.

But the problem is that Space Marines just like this, and they will be very dissatisfied if it is a material reward.

It is appropriate for Ryan to arrange for other battle groups to fight. As long as he does not have to let the battle groups that are not good at frontal assaults do the frontal assaults, and let the battle groups like the Imperial Fists sneak in and assassinate, then there will be no problem.

The first company of each battle group will directly search for all remaining enemies in the occupied area and destroy all the blasphemous creations previously established by the enemies.

Since the establishment of the Tyron Sector, many strike cruisers of the Space Marine Chapter will send them to planets outside certain sectors when they find the creations or people of the Tyron Sector left behind for various reasons. Return to the star area in exchange for a large amount of material rewards.

This is the difference in thinking between superhuman warriors and most mortals.

Honor and battle, this is what Space Marines seek.

The barrier could not intercept the black stone structures. A large number of black stone structures were quickly laid without fear of falling into the enemy's hands, gradually establishing a realistic area on the Iron Warriors' unbreakable defense line.

Ryan also tried to open up a new battlefield without breaking the defense line, completely cutting off the possibility of the Iron Warriors traitors attacking the Blackstone structure from behind the Titan battle line, but he found that every attempt he made failed.

The dropped black stone structure was not used by the enemy in turn, but was directly destroyed. One of the most inconspicuous air defense fortresses among the many fortresses built by the Iron Warriors attracted the attention of an expedition fleet war commander because the interception rate of this air defense fortress was ridiculously high.

……

A corner of the planet called the Unbreakable Defense Line by the Iron Warriors.

A fortress dedicated to air defense is pouring a high density of terrifying firepower into orbit. Slaves are carrying ammunition back and forth. A Space Marine from a certain warband of the Iron Warriors commands the slaves and all anti-aircraft weapons.

With every opening of the fortress, countless artillery fire poured into the orbit, blasting the black stone structures that tried to invade here to pieces.

Every time the black stone breaks, every time reality and subspace collide, it represents the failure of the expedition fleet's attempt to open up other theaters on the unbreakable defense line.

The accuracy of this anti-aircraft fortress is so high that even the war commander in the expedition fleet has a hard time not noticing this fortress among the countless fortresses on the unbreakable defense line.

Soon another airdrop object penetrated the barrier beyond the unbreakable defense line and fell towards the air defense fortress on the surface.

The reason for not using drop pods on enemy planets that do not have a large number of Blackstones deployed is simple, because as you go deeper into the Eye of Terror, you encounter more and more weird situations.

Maybe the airdrop pod will fall towards the unbreakable defense line, and the next second the Space Marines will find themselves on the unbreakable defense line.

It is also possible that the airdrop pod landed with a bang, and the Space Marines came out, shouting for the Warmaster and the Regent to punish the traitors, when they found themselves outside the Eye of Terror, and then many people ran out holding the signs of the Sons of Horus to welcome the anti-Imperial soldiers. .

There are various other reasons…

However, the auspicious detection of the air defense fortress showed that what was falling towards the surface was an airdrop cabin.

Giant airdrop pod.

For the Iron Warriors and their slaves, this was a very strange and unpredictable thing.

The airdrop pod penetrated the barrier without any damage, and countless anti-aircraft weapons that used psychic energy as energy could not even polish the fallen thing.

In the end, the airdrop pod hit the center of the air defense fortress, attracting the attention and firepower of the defense weapons.

Then amidst the fierce gunfire, a god's mechanical tear-up airdrop pod emerged. The wave cannon embedded in its right arm released a beam of light, sweeping away the neatly arranged weapons array on the air defense fortress.

This divine machine looked around and saw that no weapons could threaten it anymore, so it stopped charging the wave cannon.

But it still cannot relax its vigilance, because a large number of defenders are gathering towards where the machine is.

When the entire Titan was surrounded by the Iron Warriors and their slaves, and when these people saw the Titan standing there alone without regular troops or knights to guard it, they were ecstatic and decided to offer a Titan's machine soul to Chaos, the dimensional rift opened Open behind Titan.

The teleportation method that can only be seen in the real universe appears behind Titan who is not protected by any black stone structure.

Then hundreds of knights jumped out of the dimensional rift and opened fire violently on the defenders rushing towards the Titans, instantly disintegrating an army composed of a large number of Chaos Space Marines and slave auxiliaries.

The coat of arms of this knight family is printed with a burning rose on a red background. If a priest from Agrippina's forging world is present, he will find that this is a knight family from World No. 2, the capital of the Tyrone sector.

The one guarded by the Knight Family is the Warmaster-class Titan named the Martian Witch.
