Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 158 148. Give up halfway
When the gap in the huge dome glass was finally closed, only some overly large ruins and the lucky surviving Eldar were left on the entire battlefield.
Haldehe took off his mask slowly, and along with the mask came off the ice crystals that condensed from the mist.Because when the dome glass broke, the air escaped from the cabin and the temperature dropped sharply. Even though they were wearing armor, they still felt cold.

Heldhe tried his best to rub his cheeks with his hands, letting the ice crystals condensed on them melt into water.He looks very embarrassed now, his face is covered with a layer of frost, and there are traces of ice crystals on his eyelashes. He looks like a refugee who has fled.

Not to mention the other people, the Assault Scorpions were okay. Their equipment was relatively advanced. Although they were very embarrassed at night in the face of the terrible cold, it was not life-threatening. Those ordinary warriors did not have such a good ending.

The bulletproof armor they were equipped with could resist laser rays and live ammunition fire, but these armors were not space suits. When some soldiers took off their equipment tremblingly, they found that some exposed flesh had turned black and necrotic, and some of them were All tissue cells are necrotic.

Some soldiers even lost one or two pointed ears when they took off their helmets. Some couldn't even open their eyes, fell to the ground and trembled, opening their mouths in vain and unable to shout.Heldhe watched his compatriots struggling in pain and despair. They are now just like the lives that were sacrificed just now, they are just victims of a battle that is bound to fail!
The hatch at the other end of the battlefield was opened again. This time, the troops of the Human Empire were regrouped, lined up in square formations, and pressed forward like earth compactors.Heldhe did not raise his head to pay attention to their attacks, because he already knew that this battle that consumed all life in the Ark was doomed to fail.The only thing worth comforting is that the civilians and most of the ancient books have been successfully evacuated. Their sacrifices were not in vain after all...

At this desperate moment, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears
"Commander Heldhe, prepare to counterattack."

Heldhe smiled weakly when he heard it, and replied angrily

"Counterattack, what are you dreaming about? Master Zeratul, we have lost our main force, we are counterattacking, and we are preparing to evacuate..."

"Look to your right."

Heldhe suddenly heard the trembling sound of the earth, and unconsciously looked to the right.I saw a metal giant dragon with green flames standing beside it, and the Purifier who had just successfully evacuated also appeared beside the dragon.

Heldhe kept breathing heavily, feeling the old breath coming from the ancient elder next to him. This feeling was completely breathless, and the strong sense of oppression was no less than that of Kane's incarnation just now.

Although he felt extremely fearful, the rationality in Heldhe's heart still told him the true body of this huge god. At the same time, it also kept proving that this was just a piece of the god's remains.

The giant dragon glanced at the tiny life standing at his feet and said in a low voice
"The battle is far from over, Phoenix Warrior."

As the dragon's voice slowly fell, more golden-armored warriors appeared behind him.After persisting for a longer time, more than 1 Templars finally came to the Craftworld, and they also brought thousands of Odessa soldiers and a large amount of armor.Outside the Ark, the Human Empire fleet also spotted several battleships jumping out. Two aircraft carriers and a dozen auxiliary fleets formed a standard main fleet and appeared near them.

Mateo Bruscagin couldn't help cursing these despicable and shameful aliens in his heart. Now the situation has once again reversed, and those aliens who blasphemed reason have once again gained the upper hand.

But this does not mean that he is ready to admit defeat. Although he has suffered heavy losses, he still has a large number of main troops, but the war group is likely to suffer a lot of losses, because the invader war group only has more than 500 people Astartes, but they had lost nearly 100 men in this battle.Even if they succeed in defeating the enemy in the end, they will suffer heavy losses and will not be able to continue fighting for a very long time.

But for the Emperor's most noble Death Angels, the meaning of their existence is to destroy the enemies of mankind, and their final destination is to die on the battlefield. My fate is the ending of every Astartes, and I guess there will be no A loyal Astartes would refuse.

When the station commander was about to give the order to charge, the Inquisitor who had been maintaining the supply line at the rear suddenly sent a signal.
"Chapter Commander Mateo, prepare to retreat." After hearing this, the Chapter Leader froze in place and breathed more rapidly. After several minutes, the Inquisitor's words broke this desperate silence.
"It's an order from the high lord of the empire. There is a new mission. The situation is extremely urgent. Only you are the closest."

After hearing this, Mateo tried hard to calm down, convince his heart, and let himself understand that he must now follow the judge's order.Because this expedition was originally led by the Tribunal, the retreat would mainly be based on the instructions of the Tribunal.Moreover, in this battle, they have harvested enough spoils to exchange with the Mechanical School. At the same time, this Arkworld has been disabled, and it is meaningless to continue fighting.

After such efforts to persuade, Mateo finally convinced himself. He took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress his inner emotions and said

"After receiving the order, everyone retreats..."

After hearing this, the Space Marines looked at their Chapter Master in disbelief, even the mortal soldiers.They really don't understand why they have to retreat under such circumstances?Is it because the enemy's reinforcements have arrived that they have to retreat?
Mateo looked at his soldiers who were full of shock and confusion, and explained in a slight and hoarse voice
"It's the Inquisitor's order."

Everyone was silent after hearing this, but everyone knew that in this case, it was best not to contradict the inquisitor, not only for this commission, but also for the other party's commission.

The reinforcements watched the human empire troops leaving like seawater from a distance, knowing that this war had come to an end.Heldhe finally breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news from the rear observation station that humans began to gradually evacuate.

Now that the human troops have finally withdrawn, the crisis has finally been resolved.At the same time, information came from the ark. Those elusive cursed legions, just like when they appeared, disappeared without a sound.

Two hours later, the human troops finally withdrew. Since they were not sure enough to keep each other, the improvised reinforcements of the Kalai protoss did not fire on them, but just ignored them and left with a strange tacit understanding.

"I need an explanation, Inquisitor."

The last people to leave were the Chapter troops and the Inquisition fleet led by the Chapter Master.Mateo looked at the devastated Ark in front of him unwillingly, gritted his teeth and said to the judge next to him.After hearing this, the judge just said with a gloomy face.

“According to information from the Ministry of Home Affairs, there have been changes in the Maelstrom region. Star Claw Chapter Master Rufut Shuron refused to provide tax revenue, expelled and attacked local Home Office officials, and even launched offensive measures against surrounding chapters. Moreover, according to the Tribunal’s internal confidential information in the Maelstrom, there may be chaos erosion within the Maelstrom Alliance..."

After hearing this, Mateo Bruscagin's original distress and annoyance due to the retreat instantly dissipated, and all he could think of was shock.

"So our next task..."

"The highest order of the High Lords Council, all battle groups around the Maelstrom are to prepare to prevent the Maelstrom Alliance from rebelling at any time!"
