Stars for the good Warhammer

As the battle on the ground continued, more and more Dreadclaws invaded Triton's planetary orbit under heavy anti-aircraft fire.

At the same time, located above the planet, a Chaos fleet belonging to the Iron Warriors Legion had a fierce fleet battle with three T34 destroyers parked in orbit to provide fire support.

This is mainly because, as a shield star guarding the subspace channel, Triton 4 is not far from the exit of the local channel.

Therefore, when the Chaos Fleet passed through the subspace storm that had eased and appeared at the Mandeville Point in the galaxy, the three T34 destroyers parked in high-altitude orbits were right at the center of the Chaos Fleet. Within the artillery range, this caused the two sides to start a close artillery battle almost as soon as they met.

Under the double disadvantage of numbers and firepower, the destroyer fleet that was attacked was quickly defeated.

However, as the commander of this battle, Michael, who was on the main star of Hydwin, knew that once the airspace was given up, the troops on Triton 4 would be in danger.

Because he did not take the accident into consideration, under his order, nearly seven destroyers were hastily deployed from several other war zones and were immediately thrown into the melee with this Chaos Fleet.

And until the outcome of the fleet battle is determined, the small infiltration force previously led by another original knight may have to rely on itself.

At this moment, Michael began to feel a trace of regret for his recklessness when he made the plan.

On the other side, in the ground battlefield of Triton.

At this moment, Uriel was staying with a storm trooper unit he personally led. Relying on the advantage of high mobility, he and several guards arrived at the highest point of the planetary fortress.

It was an iron tower used to set up a signal source. It was high enough for Uriel to overlook the entire fortress defense facilities with the help of tactical observation equipment.

In the initial battle, he relied on this advantage, like a puppet controlled remotely, to cleverly disperse the few troops he had at hand into the various weak points of the fortress, carrying out the maximum possible operation. of destruction.

According to Michael's instructions before the start of the battle, Uriel's special team will be responsible for pulling out those threatening air defense positions one by one in preparation for subsequent landing operations.

However, the appearance of those Iron Warriors obviously disrupted the execution of this plan.

Since the enemy's situation was not clear yet, for the sake of safety, he had ordered his troops to withdraw from the battlefield to avoid direct contact with these unfamiliar enemies.

Facts have proved that this is an extremely correct decision

Soon, while Uriel was still observing the battlefield situation below, Michael's somewhat anxious voice came from the communicator.

"How's the situation over there?"

In response, Uriel replied in a slightly disappointed tone.

"The situation is not very good. These guys are more difficult than I thought."

"Their numbers are not less than ours, but they are superior to us in terms of equipment and combat experience. In the previous attacks, my troops and I were not able to take advantage of them."

As a lightly armed team, Uriel knew very well that if there was a conflict with these Astartes who were good at close combat in such a complex environment inside the fortress, then the situation would most likely become extremely unfavorable to him.

As for the ordinary clone soldiers and the only five Glorias, Uriel was not sure how effective they could be against the enemy in front of him.

Watching the combat operations of the Iron Warriors deep in the fortress, Uriel was in a very depressed mood at this moment.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before this huge fortress falls into the hands of the enemy.

By then, relying on the defenses in the fortress, these tin cans will obviously cause huge trouble to Michael's attack plan.

As the first mission of the Knights, this would most likely make his father disappointed with the Knights.

When he thought of this, Uriel couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time.

But now, how can I delay and stop them?

Thinking about the information he currently had in his hands, Uriel, who was standing on the top of the tower, slowly raised his head and stared at the sky stained red by gunfire while silently lost in thought.

However, just when he was still upset about this matter.

Not long after Michael finished speaking, another unexpected voice came from the communication device built into the tactical helmet.

"Looks like you're in some trouble?"

That voice belonged to Otto. At this moment, he simply couldn't believe it.

His father actually took the initiative to talk to him?

Does this mean that the other party is paying attention to me at the moment?

As one of the later members of the Original Knights, this made him feel extremely gratified.

The next second, under the gaze of the stormtroopers, the giant in silver armor straightened up involuntarily, and then answered in as calm a voice as possible.

"You are right, father, may I ask for your instructions?"

"If there is a way to fish all those guys out of the fortress, are you confident that you can defeat them?"

Faced with such an inquiry, Uriel was somewhat surprised at first.

After thinking carefully for a moment, and after quickly filtering the current situation of the troops, including ammunition reserves, in his mind, he finally answered truthfully.

"I'm sorry dad, I can't guarantee that for you."

"But if the enemy is not in a fortress tunnel full of bunkers, and the number is concentrated enough."

"Then relying on Gloria's fire support should be able to cause large-scale damage to them, but such conditions are a bit too harsh."

However, in Uriel's view, it is almost impossible to achieve such conditions.

But what surprised him was that the other party seemed to be unexpectedly interested in this matter.

Then, Otto on the other end of the communicator spoke as if talking to himself.

"Perhaps we can take this opportunity to test whether the rumors are true."

Uriel was surprised at first.

rumor?

What kind of rumors?

However, after listening to Otto describe his plan.

"You mean you want me to put up a flag outside the fortress?"

For a moment, he even began to wonder if there was something wrong with his ears.

"But will it really work?"

I don't know how long it took, as the battle gradually progressed.

While the Iron Warriors' tactical team was still clearing the positions garrisoned by the defense forces in the fortress, they were looking for the Stormtrooper team led by Uriel.

The next second, a huge flag with a light yellow background was suddenly erected in an abandoned fortress that had been subjected to orbital bombardment at the edge of the fortress.

After being specially illuminated with lights, the boxing emblem located in the center of the flag is so eye-catching.

——That is the flag of [Imperial Fist].

At this moment, it was clearly displayed in front of the commander of the Iron Warriors.
