Dozens of orc warships entered the galaxy as vanguards and began to march towards Armageddon, while all the warships of the empire began to act according to the predetermined plan, and the orbital defense platform and various nests on the ground also began to seal the city and prepare for battle.

The third battle for Armageddon begins.

Chapter 727 Chapter 530 Seven Encounters

Dawn stood in the very center of the bridge. He folded his arms and looked at the projection in front of him. Afterwards, the Primarch raised his hand, turned his palm into a knife, and slashed down quickly and powerfully, as if a sharp blade had split open in front of him. air--

The battleship ignited its main propeller and gradually accelerated to one-tenth of the speed of light, and then one-fourth of the speed of light. The Eternal Bastion and Eternal Expedition pierced the formation of the Orc fleet like two spears, and The battleships and large cruisers in the fleet, as well as the strike cruisers of the Astartes Chapter also followed, rushing towards the enemy line!

The fleet in front of him is just a feint attack force of the Orcs. Dawn is well aware of this, but he doesn't mind having some desserts before the main meal is served. Using the current imperial fleet to fight against the orc fleet is tantamount to a dream, not to mention It is said that the orcs from the surrounding galaxies and star fields are frantically concentrating here, and it is already the limit of Dorn's ability to launch a counterattack on a local battlefield with only the troops in hand.

The orc warlord who launched this war was very cunning, and his intelligence was not inferior to that of the orc empire warlord in Ulanor's time, but the human empire troops here did not have the strength of several Astartes legions.

"Correct the course," Dawn said indifferently, the driving array composed of the shipboard computer and the three Yurha pilots heard his voice, and began to practice the will of the original body, the huge ship was driven by data and energy Get ready to turn, "Azimuth 0086, positive level, increase engine output by 15.00%."

"Do you need to report to other warships?"

Captain Jurha asked Dorn, but the latter did not speak, and then Jurha nodded, indicating that he understood.As a C-type (Captain) Yurha doll, 12C has dealt with Dorn many times, and most of the warship pilots at the United Headquarters are this specialized type of Yurha doll, whether it is Sanguinius This is true for both his ship and Dorne's ship... This can be regarded as a mutual check and balance.

The Eternal Bastion took two positions from the Eternal Expedition, and the heavy macro guns on both sides of the ship quickly reloaded and fired four rounds of salvo in 4 minutes!Although the fast reloading system takes a certain amount of time to cool down, this explosive attack is enough to destroy any opponent who is caught off guard——

The projectile accelerated to nearly the speed of light violently hit the shield of the orc battleship, and after it was completely disintegrated, the remaining kinetic energy could still tear up the orc battleship, which was close to the size of an imperial battleship, and the orc battleship broke into two pieces silently. Suddenly, fragments of the hull made of various metals and rocks quickly shot around, and some fragments even hit the void shield of the Eternal Bastion, causing slight ripples.

Gorgeous flames bloom in the cold and dark universe, and such flames rise and fall one after another with the continuous advancement of the macrocannon shells. At this moment, the Eternal Bastion seems to have become a shell fired from the macrocannon muzzle , she kept moving forward, ignoring those orc warships that were sunk or even just damaged.

Dorn's flagship is like a reef that cleaves the waves, but it is also like a steel blade that cleaves a mountain. The soldiers on the battleship could hardly restrain their excitement. They shouted the battle cry that had been passed down for thousands of years, and poured out the wrath of human beings on every orc battleship!

Noble wrath!

Anger tore the body of every orc, making them howl, scream, suffocate, and eventually die in the flames and explosions. Those who can keep their bodies intact are the lucky ones... The fleet continued to advance, following Dorne footsteps.

"Correct heading, heading 0146, ignite the auxiliary steering engine, and reduce the output of the main engine by 5.00%."

Dorn ordered with a deadpan expression, and the Jurhas faithfully carried out his orders, just as they carried out Rorschach's.

The Eternal Bastion turned the ship, penetrated from the outer layer of the orc fleet's array to the inner layer again, and approached the largest orc warship. The orc warlord who commanded this vanguard fleet obviously realized his failure, and began to drive the battleship Escape to the galaxy.

However, a harassing fleet composed of dozens of frigates and light cruisers unexpectedly appeared on the only way the orc fleet retreated, but they did not try to block it, but fired two rounds of torpedoes at the retreating orc fleet, These torpedoes, which were powerful enough to severely damage capital ships, slammed into the battleships of the enemy of mankind with a long flame-the world was silent for a second.

Explosions, shocks, arcs, extreme heat.

The rough but solid armor of the Orc battleship was defeated by the crystallization of human wisdom, turning into the most insignificant echo in the starry sky.

After the torpedo attack, the harassment fleet retreated immediately to make way. They also need to return to the space station and star port for resupply. After the resupply is over, these small but agile warships will have more important work to do.

On the other side, the orc fleet, which was peeled off layer by layer like an onion, also ushered in the end at this time. The Eternal Bastion aimed at the center of the orc warship, and suddenly boosted the engine. It was stretched, and the light became more dazzling!

Dawn doesn't have much patience to entangle here anymore. He has already received news that a larger orc fleet has appeared on the other side of Armageddon. Directly hit and sink this orc battleship, which is a little longer than an imperial battleship.

"In the forward direction, the engine output is the largest, concentrate the void shield on the bow of the ship, and start the ram dismantling position."

The Eternal Bastion let out a silent scream, she raised the spear in her hand, and charged forward, moving forward without hesitation.

"All staff, prepare for impact."

The flickering horn of the thunder slammed fiercely into the middle of the orc battleship, and the shield only persisted with a sigh and dissipated in the starry sky before it completely collapsed!The Orcs in the Orc battleship fled in all directions, but only a few lucky ones could get into some solid small rooms to save their lives temporarily, but more, more Orcs and their killing vehicles could only Squeezed and flattened by the twisted metal armor plate, the dirty and smelly blood mixed with the grease and coolant in the pipeline, splashed on the scattered warship fragments, frozen by the low temperature, glowing under the light of the stars Disgusting light.

The flames were extinguished, and Dorne scored another modest victory.

"..."

Don was standing in the middle of the bridge, he folded his arms and said calmly:

"The fleet returned to defense, allocated ammunition and supplies, and prepared for emergency repairs and fighting again... Contact the planetary ground combat command and ask them if they saw the downpour."

"They saw it, Lord Dorne."

Orc landing pods and transports rubbed against the atmosphere like fire raining down from the sky.

Chapter 728 Chapter 530 The Eighth Beginning of the Great War

Set off this Waaaaaaaaaaaaagh!It is Ork orc warlord Bonebreaker Saraka, the prophet who fucked up the second brother Mao. This orc warlord who has been promoted from an ordinary boy has the ability to incite the orcs on the entire planet into a frenzy of conquest and blood. It may be now The most influential orc in the entire galaxy, hundreds of millions of orcs are willing to follow it, fight and kill in its name!

But now, the Bonebreaker turned his attention to Armageddon, this former battlefield, this planet that runs through the entire history of the orcs——

The Ork orc fleet broke through the orbital defense on the side of Armageddon. The landing craft and all kinds of weird airdrop pods they used passed through the thick atmosphere, rubbing against it violently and dragging bright flames, like Rain of fire from the sky.

When these landing vehicles activated their boosters to prevent themselves from falling headlong into the hard ground of Armageddon, the sky was enveloped in a doomsday-like haze. There were so many Orc landing vehicles that As for the thousands of collision accidents during the descent, most of the unlucky ones in the accidents could hardly leave a complete body.

Most of the landing ships and airdrop pods landed in the wilderness outside the various hives of Armageddon, but it is not without individual guys who want to attack the hives directly, but these orcs with strange circuits are very It was quickly shot down by the dense anti-aircraft firepower, and the destroyed airdrop vehicle fell into the hive city with a long black smoke, and the maximum loss caused was only a few casualties.

However, everyone knows that this is only the beginning.

The Imperial Air Force was the first to start the counterattack. Pilots flying various types of fighter planes flexibly shuttled among the descending Ork orc landing vehicles, applying all the firepower on board the fighter planes to those of different sizes. on steel works.

The happy turkey hunt of the Imperial pilots did not last long, and Orc fighters soon appeared, and the two sides entangled until the Imperial fighters had to retreat due to heavy losses. Although these heroic pilots scored countless The damage was twice as high as his own, but there were too many orc troops, so many that it made people feel desperate!

The Orcs who ran out of the landing cabin quickly gathered together, and under the leadership of a certain boss, or even a certain warlord, they rushed towards the nest closest to them. Those Orcs who spewed black smoke The strange locomotive that made a loud noise galloped across the wilderness of Armageddon, bringing up clouds of dust and smoke.

"Waaaaaaaaaagh!"

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

The howls of the orcs echoed under the gray sky, even drowning out the sound of the storm mixed with sand and dust, but the only answer to these ancient enemies was the artillery fire of humans!

Adjust the secret position, load the shells, and launch—the artillery in all the hives that contacted the enemy on the entire planet began to roar, and the roar of tens of thousands of artillery instantly overwhelmed all the sounds in the world.The low cries of the civilians, the dignified conversations of the soldiers, and the wild roars of the orcs, all of these are mixed in the sound of thunder, and the thunder leaps, but the echoes are still lingering on the barren wilderness and filth on this planet. Messy hive.

The thunder will still sound again until the person who drives the thunder is slain.

The Orcs' offensive started No. 40 minutes after the large-scale landing. The first to be attacked was Hades Hive City. Although due to the constant harassment and impact of the Imperial Fleet, the Orcs did not directly drop a bomb on the Hive City. asteroids as a humiliation, but they still served their purpose...

The towering city walls of the hive capital were destroyed by ancient giants. Compared with other important hives, the anti-aircraft firepower failed to stop the attack of the orc fighters. They could only retreat continuously, retreating from the outer city wall area to the middle residential area, and then withdrawing from the residential area to the core area of ​​the hive capital, and those civilians who were too late to retreat with the army soon became the killing targets of the orcs .

An hour later, the defenders of Hades' hive were completely annihilated, and no one managed to break through.

Only four Thunderhawk fighter planes belonging to the Black Templar picked up some ordinary civilians, most of whom were weak women and children. Crying to the end.

"...Technical sergeant, you can drive a little slower, we will fly into that sandstorm."

Grimaldus said in the communication channel that he was still holding a baby in his hands, and the child was passed from behind by a pair of hands and delivered to Grimaldus.Priest Yin didn't know whose child it was, and he didn't know his name. His last impression was the despair on the faces of the civilians when the Thunderhawk fighter plane door was closed... He had seen such despair too many times .

"Understood, Master Yin Xiu."

The four Thunderhawk fighter planes skimmed the ground, avoiding the orc's radar that was not working at that time, and also avoiding those fly-like orc fighter planes.A few minutes later, the Thunderhawk flew into the sandstorm and completely escaped the Orcs' pursuit.

The gravel hit the armor of the Thunderhawk, making a crackling sound, but this sound gave people an inexplicable sense of security at this moment.It seems that because of the temporary safety, the cries of women and children sounded in the cabin. They huddled together against the bulkhead, or simply approached a certain Black Templar cautiously and cautiously, as if this would make them My heart is more stable.

"Master Hidden," Priamas said in the communication channel. He is a genius swordsman in the team. From the beginning of this long sword, Priamas didn't let anyone touch his sword, "Why are we going to save these mortals?"

"..."

"We have twenty knights here, four Thunderhawk fighters, we can go straight into the enemy's line, behead the leaders of the orcs, throw their heads into the volcano of Armageddon, let the flames and heat wipe out Traces of the existence of these foul creatures."

"...this is the Primarch's order, and all we need is to carry it out."

Grimaldus looked down at the baby in his arms. The child didn't know that he was alone in this world. He smiled innocently at the slender monk wearing a skull helmet.

"This is the Primarch's order."

Priest Yin repeated it dryly, and then he carefully placed the child in the arms of a woman, who coaxed the child, raised his head and asked:

"My lord, what's the boy's name? I don't think you have time to send him . . . to do such little things."

name?

Grimaldus hesitated for a while. After thinking for a moment, he said softly:

"His name is Jacques de Molay."

Chapter 729 Chapter 530 Chapter [-] Hails Ridge ([-])

It has been a full month since the first landing vehicle of the orcs landed. During this time, two nests with weak defenses have fallen, and the fate of the people living inside can also be imagined. And you know... now the empire's military strength is mainly used to restrain the expansion of the orc army in the equator region, where the Salamanders and several other warbands are bleeding, even if the Astartes have better equipment, they cannot fight at all. Disadvantages to reverse the situation of the war.

Grimaldus knew this clearly, and Dorn knew it well too, but the Stone never complained, nor resented, he only coldly calculated where every manpower could be Unleash your full strength.

"Our next task is to go to the Helsridge Hive City, where we will organize defenses," Grimaldus said in the communication channel, "At the same time, there will be an auxiliary army unit... the Sila guards of the joint headquarters A reinforced infantry regiment will be dispatched, this regiment has a strength of 5000 people and an armored company has been strengthened, with a total of twelve Shadow Sword super heavy tanks."

Hearing the name of the Shadow Sword super-heavy tank, Atarion blew a whistle. He clenched the flagpole and paused a few times in the cabin of the Thunderhawk, making a muffled sound.But Grimaldus didn't mean to be happy, he was thinking... thinking about the meaning of his existence in this expedition.

During this month, Grimaldus led his team across various battlefields. They rescued half of the Astral Army company near the equator. The latter was besieged by a group of orcs. In the hive, the knights of Dorne captured the governor who wanted to surrender to the bonebreaker, and ended the latter's sinful life with flames.

Grimaldus and his team rescued more than 1 people during this period, most of them were trapped Astra Militarum and militia, and some downed pilots, but not many civilians were actually rescued... ... Whenever receiving a mission to rescue civilians, Grimaldus will adjust his state to the best and raise his vigilance to the highest level——

Every time these missions were carried out, there was a narrow escape from death. There was even a Black Templar soldier killed in a hive city. He covered a group of civilians who were running towards the tarmac. Inundated by the green tide, and only a quarter of the civilians who were able to evacuate on the Thunderhawk fighter plane.

Grimaldus didn't know if it was worth it, but the Black Templar never looked back, standing before the tide like a rock...

"...!"

"...Hidden Master!"

Atarion's voice brought Grimaldus back from his thoughts, and made him turn to look at his brother, while Atarion nodded slightly and said:

"Here we are, Hillsridge."

The touch of the Thunderhawk landing clearly passed into Grimaldus' body, making him subconsciously grasp the priest's scepter. During this month, every landing of the Thunderhawk meant a fierce battle , and those desperate hands stretched out at last.

After slowly exhaling, Grimaldus was the first to walk out of the cabin, and saw several officers standing in front of him, and a tall officer who was obviously different from the Star Militia and the Planetary Defense Force, who was dressed in heavy The force feedback power armor, a big gun with a chainsaw on his back, and at the same time, Chief Yin also saw a group of things that were probably melta bombs on this officer... Is this really an officer?

"Guards of Sila, 238th Infantry Regiment, I'm Captain Bradley Dominique Felix," the burly man who was only half a head shorter than Grimardus thumped his chest vigorously. Breastplate, let it make a muffled sound, "Welcome as our commander, Grimaldus the Hermit, Lord Dorne orders us to obey you."

"My pleasure."

Grimaldus nodded reservedly. His eyes were attracted by the four giant transport planes beside him. Rows of strong men wearing force-feedback armor and holding large-caliber guns were coming out of them. Heavy tanks also drove out of the transport plane at the same time.

...This is the fucking auxiliary army?

The hermit of the Black Templar thought of his own auxiliary army, although the latter was well-trained, but the equipment was far inferior to these Sira guards... and those poorer wargroups could not even afford auxiliary army, after all they It's hard to even feed yourself (referring to a certain shark group).

"I was supposed to meet you with the political commissar of the regiment, but he went to organize the troops." Bradley touched his head and apologized to Grimaldus. "Later, he will be in command Report to you."

"Okay, now let's go to the command post...By the way, please introduce yourself to me, everyone."

On the way to the command post, Grimaldus met Colonel Saren of the 101st Regiment of the Armageddon Iron Legion, who commanded the entire Hive Astra Militarum, and the commander of the 5082nd Wing of the Navy's fighter jets. Lieutenant Colonel Cotten Balasas, etc. Generally speaking, these officers of the Astra Militarum did not exceed the normal perception of the Astral Militia by the Priest... They have the strength, bravery, and fragility of ordinary people.

But on the other side, the head of the hermit's eyes hidden under the helmet moved to the face of the Sera guard colonel named Bradley. Because of his size and equipment, the latter occupied a corner of the entire elevator, so that others had to Stand a little closer.

What makes Grimaldus interesting is that the command of the Sila guards stationed here is in his own hands, including the powerful armored company——

Before coming here, Master Yin had heard a rumor that the Grand Marshal of the Black Templar originally thought that at least a hundred Astartes would be needed to defend Helsrich, but the Primarch rejected this plan and only sent An infantry regiment of the Sira Guards was raised, and an additional anti-Titan armored company was reinforced.

The Primarch thought these 5000 men could be compared to a hundred Astartes?

When Grimaldus saw the political commissar of the Sila Guard Infantry Regiment wearing a full set of heavy armor, who was also big and round, not only carrying a chainsaw gun but also holding a plasma pistol, he began to feel that this rumor was indeed true. Makes sense.

"To report to you, I am the political commissar of the 238th Infantry Regiment of the Sira Guards, and my name is Alexey Yelymenko." Alexey's political commissar beat his chest as hard as the head of the regiment, Bradley, " The soldiers guarded by Sira are ready to go into battle, the vehicles of the armored company are in good condition, and the supplies accompanying the army are enough to support three months of medium-intensity combat missions, and high-intensity combat can also last for about a month."

"Very well, I'll keep that in mind."

This is what Grimaldus wanted to know. He really didn't bother to care about things other than battles, but it was obvious that the Priest Hermit couldn't escape these meaningless mundane things:

"Everyone, it will take another seven to ten days for the striker of the Orcs to reach Helsridge. We still have a lot to do."

Chapter 730 Chapter 540 Hails Ridge ([-])

food supply.

Water security.

Medical preparation.

number of troops.

weapons stockpile.

……

All of this is troubling Grimaldus. Expenditure statistics, charts and holographic projections surround everyone in the command post, exhausting the commanders guarding the hive city. This lasted for three days until the unbearable Captain Bradley of the Sira Guard brought an information processing system.And in order to take care of other people's mood, he also spray-painted the logo of the Mechanicus Circle Order on the machine that looked very un-imperial.

The main reason is that there is an AI stuffed inside, a low-level AI without emotional awareness.

The machine is huge, occupying nearly one-tenth of the command post. Dense cables are connected to other machines in the command post, and some extend outside to connect to machines in other areas.

Everyone in the command post didn't know the true origin of this thing, but they all kept silent and used it tacitly. Only Grimaldus asked Bradley in private, and the latter was Disassemble the shell of the machine to reveal the Rune of the Circle of Principle and the Rune of Anti-pollution inside, and explained:

"Before returning to the Imperial universe, Commander Rorschach and several Primarchs thought about this issue. Together with the psionic masters of the Thousand Sons, they prepared many such portable runes for the protection of machines and various systems. , the effect is very good, but if you really encounter those... enemies, it still depends on the strength of the opponent."

If the big devil does it himself, then most machines and people really can't stand it.

But in any case, this can be regarded as a guarantee, which made Grimaldus feel more stable. Then, he began to try to use this so-called fast processing system——
