Stars for the good Warhammer

Triton 4, as a fortress planet that guards subspace channels and is far away from the star, is stationed with several of the most elite planetary defense corps of the Hedwin family.

At this time, an unprecedentedly fierce battle was breaking out in the fortress surrounding the planet's surface, covering almost one-fifth of the land area. However, the defenders in those fortresses were in extreme chaos at this time.

Because just now, when they were fighting several armies of rebel knight families, about twenty airdrop pods suddenly appeared in the sky and crashed directly into the fortress.

At first, the soldiers in the fortress thought they were angels who had received a signal and came to support the Hedwin family, until they saw with their own eyes the giants in silver armor and the human troops behind them began to attack all targets around them indiscriminately. attack.

Such a sudden situation caused huge chaos in the defender's camp, and eventually caused the soldiers on the front line to retreat on a large scale. The soldiers in the second line of defense also planned to abandon the fortress tunnel and move toward a stronger position. When the core defense zone of the fortress retreats.

boom!

Accompanied by a sharp gunshot, after a soldier was shot on the spot for disobeying orders and trying to escape from the battlefield, officers holding laser pistols and chain swords stood in a trench made of high-hardness cement. , roared loudly at the other soldiers present.

"This is what happens to cowards! Who wants to be the next one!?"

"Hold your position! Stay still! Otherwise, I will send Leman Russ tanks and send you all to the sky!"

The officer's furious look successfully restored calm to the originally shaken front, causing the soldiers in the firing position to once again turn their attention to the front where fighting was breaking out.

Due to the obstruction of the terrain, they could not see clearly what was happening there, but based on the vague screams of the soldiers and the flashing muzzle flashes, it was still not difficult to determine the battle. The intensity must be far beyond imagination.

Just like that, I don't know how long it took. Under the gaze of the defenders stationed in the fortress, the gunfire in the trenches in front suddenly stopped at a certain moment. For a while, except for the roar of distant artillery, everything returned to silence. .

During the excruciating waiting process, the officer just now was constantly trying to get in touch with the person in charge of the front line through the radio. However, as he shouted over and over again, the only message coming from the communicator was mixed with harsh current. Blind tone.

I don’t know how long I have endured this unbearable silence. Just when the officer was about to order two signalmen to cross the no-man’s land and go to the trench to observe the situation, a burst of artillery roar broke the silence at this moment, and suddenly the past There was a sound from behind the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke.

Accompanied by the scream of artillery shells piercing the air overhead, the next second raindrops of artillery shells began to be poured on the defense line of the fortress area. In an instant, the entire battlefield suddenly fell into a situation where the earth was shaking.

What horrified the officer was that the shelling from the opposite side had not completely stopped. A large number of densely packed figures in the smoke and dust caused by the explosion had actually charged close to Xu Jin's barrage.

"Fire! The enemy is coming!"

Under the command of the commander, the panicked soldiers began to fire fiercely into the smoke screen of the battlefield. Under the interweaving firepower, the figures suddenly fell into panic, and then fell down like harvested wheat.

Such a scene made the officer have a satisfied expression on his face. However, when the smoke and dust dissipated a little, and when he could really see the scene in front of him clearly, his expression suddenly froze again.

Because the "enemies" rushing towards the position were actually a group of friendly troops who had been deliberately released from the front line. By the time the officers realized this, the bunkers and firepower points hidden in the position had been exposed to the attackers. in front of.

Immediately afterwards, the defenders were greeted by a round of more ferocious and extremely precise strike firepower. At the same time, five Gloria armed robots with a height of four meters and equipped with two high-speed cannons took the lead in launching the attack.

Scanned and captured by high-definition sensors and enemy hunter fire control radars, these bipedal armors driven by clone soldiers suppressed the battlefield. Some soldiers in the fortress wanted to use twin-linked melt cannons to fight back, but those twin-armed armors The active defense system of the foot mecha immediately discovered the existence of these threats and promptly reminded the driver.

The appearance of these Glorias successfully attracted the attention of most of the defenders, so much so that they did not notice at all that with the help of power armor jetpacks, a small group of elite stormtroopers had crossed over the smoke-filled position, and A surprise attack was launched on two fort points at the commanding heights.

By the time the officers in the position noticed this, like targets in a shooting range, a large number of Planetary Defense Force soldiers and battery operators behind the bunkers had been killed by intensive firepower fired from top to bottom by Gauss rifles.

Only then did the officer who was almost killed by a sniper finally realized that the battle had been lost.

But just when he was about to order the troops to retreat to the rear defense line through the tunnels, there was a violent roar, and fire began to flicker through the dark and thick clouds in the sky.

Then, under the blank gaze of the officer, in the chaotic sky, another batch of airborne pods broke through the clouds like meteors. Their appearance attracted the attention of everyone present almost instantly.

The next second, under the incredible eyes of the defenders, the attackers who had a huge advantage and the Glorias with strong firepower actually chose to retreat. In the blink of an eye, only the Planetary Defense Forces were left in the fragmented position. .

Looking at the airdrop pods falling from the sky at high speed, the officers in the position couldn't help but pray silently in their hearts.

This time it must be reinforcements.

Soon, a slightly uncomfortable airdrop pod with spikes all over its body and four metal claws landed in the center of the Planetary Defense Forces' position.

Unbeknownst to the defense forces, this device was commonly known as the Dreadclaw.

On its battle-scarred hatch, a dark gray mark of a metal skull gradually attracted the attention of officers and soldiers.

Immediately after the hatch opened, a tall Astartes holding a jump shield walked out first.
