Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

In the thick blood mist, the Kriegs shuttled back and forth in the trench network dug on the position.

Many heavy weapons were deployed to the forefront of the position, and heavy artillery was transported backwards in larger trenches.

Directly ahead, the Iron Man troops were fighting the sudden appearance of enemies. The battle between the two sides continued. Although some people speculated that the Iron Man was enough to kill the idiots who ran out of the Skull Fortress to die, the Kriegs would not consider it. It's a "beautiful thing" that the Iron Man troops ended the encounter by themselves.

The soldiers of the Death Corps on the battlefield stood in the trenches at shooting positions or in front of heavy weapons, breathing heavily under their gas masks, and everyone stared motionlessly ahead.

Fire flickered deep in the blood mist.

It seemed that some abnormally swollen monster had split an ordinary combat-type iron man in two. Then a team of plague warriors and a heavy combat unit named Hellbeast walked out of the blood mist and faced the position. The Kriegs opened fire.

Their movements were stiff, which was affected by the black stone obelisk.

Some people optimistically believe that this is the reason why the enemy takes the initiative to attack and is destined to die, because they take the initiative to penetrate into the effective range of the black stone, which is simply a good thing that cannot be wished for.

But no matter how they thought about it, the staff members in the Leviathan command vehicle at the rear would not have imagined that those of them who went to attack the Skull Fortress on the second piece of land on Broome would actually engage in battle with the Plague Marines.

But it is what it is.

Not only did Dade report the battle between his troops and the Plague Warriors, but other participating troops also had witness reports of the Plague Warriors, and there were even reports of witnessing a large number of plague zombies.

Under Dade's order, the soldiers of the Death Corps who were ordered to atone for their sins were dispatched.

When Hellbeasts and Plague Marines exchanged fire with their comrades, a dozen soldiers carrying explosive packs ran wildly in the trenches to get as close as possible to the firefighting site, and then suddenly climbed out of the trenches in the dark, activating the explosives on their bodies. charge.

Desperate charges are not uncommon, even in the Tyron Army, where the cost of individual soldiers is extremely high. It is not the Krieg's patent to regard death as a threat.

But people in other units of the Astra Militarum often shout some words when they carry out a fatal attack.

For the Emperor.

For Lord Tyrone.

For Guilliman, for Five Hundred Worlds.

But these Kriegs were silent. They just rushed forward like iron men, rushing past without making a sound, rushing in front of the hell beasts and plague warriors, taking advantage of their unpreparedness.

Finally, the roar of the explosion ended the silence.

Hellbeasts and Plague Marines were killed by melta bombs, but they seemed to be just a harbinger, a preview of something to come.

Then the ground began to tremble, and a large number of plague zombies rushed out of the thick blood mist in front of the position.

Mixed among the plague walkers are the armies of Drakasi's mortal servants of the Blood God.

The Plague Marines and the Space Marines who worship the Blood God on Drakasi charge together.

This scene is extremely rare in the Eye of Terror.

The Death Guard, who came to Broome in a desperate move, had reached an agreement with the Drakasi. If the Black Legion and Vashtor had not remained silent about the situation of the war, making them like outsiders, then the Kriegs would now look at it. to the Death Guard and charge with the Drakashi and the Black Legion.

This alliance seems to be a last resort and precious unity between the various forces under severe circumstances. They do not think that they are affected by anything.

But in the High Sky, on the battlefield between the dark gods, in the Crystal Demon Realm of Tzeentch, the servants of the Blood God and Nurgle were still killing each other the last second they entered here, but then they would start to kill each other. Kill any of Tzeentch's minions before starting a civil war.

The war of the dark gods has spread to the Eye of Terror, the blurred boundary between the real world and the high sky, and has had some effects, and the current cooperation between the Plague Marines and the followers of Khorne on Drakasi is one of the effects. one.

There are often slaves of Chaos who think they can make independent decisions, but they are always just slaves of Chaos, and their words and deeds cannot escape the influence of Chaos.

No matter what the enemy is, no matter who the enemy is, the Death Corps stands in position to resist the attack.

The Blackstone Obelisk weakens the influence of the supernatural powers attached to those Chaos Space Marines as much as possible, so that these strange and mutated enemies who have stayed in the Eye of Terror for too long are not so scary and intimidating in the eyes of the Kriegs. The force was strong and the collapse did not occur.

Ordinary infantrymen armed with laser rifles use their own weapons and flesh and blood to assist those infantrymen armed with anti-armor weapons, ensuring that the latter can effectively strike the enemy before death.

Even when encountering an enemy siege, several companies in the Death Corps often assemble together to launch a countercharge in the direction in which the enemy is coming.

When some areas at the forefront of the position were lost, the Kriegs who were still alive there chose to use engineering shovels to engage in close combat with the superhuman warriors who had betrayed humanity.

The entire brutal positional battle was recorded by the Tyron Army's drone and projected onto the table belonging to Commander Krieg among the many tactical tables in the Leviathan command vehicle at the rear.

"Why do you want your people to launch a counter-charge?" Grote looked at Dade who had already issued the counter-charge order for the third time, unable to restrain his doubts, "I don't want to point fingers, but... I suggest After your fire support arrives..."

"I must test the weak points of the enemy's offensive. If the empire needs us to support other friendly forces who are also engaged in encounters, the reinforcements we send can break out from the weak points." Dade looked down at the tactical table without raising his head. "With the blessing of the God Emperor, I already feel a little bit better."

Another order was issued.

The Death Corps once again began to organize a new round of counterattacks, after all those who participated in the previous counterattacks were killed.

The Kriegs were called to their own numbers, then crawled out of the trenches, walked to the back of the position to gather, and then were led by their officers to charge towards the snarling Plague Marines or the red-eyed Blood God. in front of believers.

On the tactical table, it's just a few thousand personnel tokens gathered together.

But Groat was wearing Commander model power armor, and he could see more information.

Not only did he see how the Kriegs gathered and counterattacked.

I even saw that after another round of counterattack failed, a grenadier who tried to detonate a bomb on himself and perished with the enemy was decapitated by a chain axe. The gas mask flew to the side, and underneath it was a delicate and slightly... A childish female face.

Grote turned his attention back to his 44th Infantry Regiment and silently dispatched a batch of supply drones for the Death Corps.

The Titan Legion is approaching friendly forces, and the tactical table shows that they will soon be within attack range.

Grote even applied for the first round of Titan fire support on behalf of Dade. Originally, the first round of Titan fire support should only be applied for by representatives of mortal corps generals like Creed...

But Diana, the captain of the Mars Witch in the Titan Legion, doesn't care about Creed, the Lord of Cadia Castle, calling him uncle.
