Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

"We can never act so recklessly again."

"Absolutely not!"

Inside the bridge of the flagship of the Golden Expedition Fleet, Ryan looked at the report from the last battle and became furious with his heirs.

The Warmaster was so angry because of a strategic decision made by Azrael.

Since the enemy once again retreated to the Skull Fortress, Azrael suggested launching a surprise attack on the Skull Fortress immediately. However, according to the previously formulated plan, the ground troops must follow the black stone obelisk and advance faithfully.

Whether it is building a black stone obelisk or protecting an armored vehicle carrying a black stone obelisk.

Azrael suggested deploying the Blackstone on a strike cruiser and launching it to the surface like a drop pod, with ground troops following closely behind. This would save a lot of time.

However, the Star Gods responsible for providing and utilizing the Black Stone unanimously stated that it was not feasible, but Azrael still conducted an experiment using the "inventory" left over from the previous war.

Two black stone obelisks were loaded into the strike cruiser and launched to the surface. Then, just before the Space Marines were about to airdrop to the deployment location of the black stone, the launched black stone suddenly changed its nature, from suppressing subspace to amplifying subspace. space.

Broome's second land plate has turned into a behemoth that opened its bloody mouth and tried to swallow the fleet. If it hadn't been for the numerous black stone obelisks built on the first land plate, I am afraid that the planet Broome could have Wrestle with the expedition fleet in person.

"I don't understand." Captain Deathwing of the Dark Angel asked when the Lion King stopped roaring, "Why did those black stone obelisks change their nature after being launched? It should have been stable, the plan of the Supreme Master. There should be no problem.”

"Why do you think those ghosts called Star Gods always remind us to stay close to the black stone creations?" Ryan asked.

"..." The first company commander didn't know how to answer.

"Launch the Black Stone to the surface like an airdrop pod, and the landing combat troops will immediately take the airdrop pod to airdrop into the Black Stone's range to participate in the battle. It's a good idea."

This is not a compliment from the Lion King.

The Deathwing Captain followed the sound and saw the Lord of Tyrone walking into the bridge.

"If only we could use the Black Stone, then this is indeed a good idea." Qin Mo snapped his fingers, the space in the entire bridge changed, and the scene from the battle just now was shown, "But unfortunately not, the traitor legion There are people among them who are good at using the power of black stone."

Ryan and the Deathwing Captain observed what happened when Azrael implemented the new tactics.

The Black Stone was indeed launched by the strike cruiser, and before the Dark Angel Deathwing Company was about to launch an airborne assault, several Hell Dragons flew out of the Skull Fortress, each of which was carrying something that looked like a ring. .

Those hell flying dragons approached the black stone obelisk that was not protected for just a few seconds, and then all the obelisks launched by the strike cruiser changed their properties at the same time.

"This is just a replay of the scene captured by the flagship before." Qin Mo snapped his fingers again, the scene disappeared and the bridge returned to normal.

When it was discovered that the flagship had captured footage of Azrael executing his new tactics, Ryan realized that Qin Mo had discovered what Azrael was going to do instead of being kept in the dark. However, he did not stop it, which inevitably made Qin Mo Ryan was not happy.

When the nature of the obelisk was changed and the No. 2 land plate turned into a bloody mouth, an airdrop pod that had not been emergency stopped crashed into the mouth of the land plate.

"A moment of silence for the victims." Ryan held his helmet and lowered his head, observing a moment of silence for the Terminator combat team that had been fighting in the new model airdrop pod for four hundred years.

"To be honest, I had the same idea as Chapter Leader Azrael before, because I found that when we used the Black Stone, the enemies were in a passive state." Qin Mo walked to the tactical table and looked down at the Skull Fortress. , "They have never been able to do anything against the Black Stone Obelisk. Even if they are affected by the Black Stone, they just keep on fighting."

"Then why did the enemy suddenly have a way to deal with Black Stone just now?" Ryan asked.

"Maybe there are Word Bearers on Broome." Qin Mo said, "I also encountered it during the Battle of Cadia. The Word Bearers used a ghost thing called the Obsidian Crown to fight. That thing is not even used for A black stone creation that amplifies the influence of subspace, but a portal."

"The Word Bearers." Ryan nodded, then shook his head in confusion, "How could there be a Word Bearer on Broome?"

This time Qin Mo shook his head. He didn't know how to explain it.

He has often experienced situations where a big battle suddenly turned into a melee between all forces.

If you study it carefully...

The Dracasi came to Broome because they were deceived by Fabius. This was discovered by Magnus and the scholars using psychic means. The Death Guard came to Broome to obtain an artifact stolen by Fabius. The Black Legion was asked for help by the Death Guard.

The reason why the Khorne demons came to Broome is very simple, they just fight wherever there is a fight.

But the Word Bearers...

Scholars and Magnus couldn't use their psychic powers to see if there were really Word Bearers on Broome. Even if the clones were stacked together, they couldn't think of any reason for the Word Bearers to come to Broome. , so this is just Qin Mo's guess.

In addition, it is not only the Word Bearers who can use the Black Stone, but also the Dark Mechanicus.

"Why are things like Blackstone used by traitors but not by the Empire before?" Ryan asked.

Qin Mo smiled and did not answer, because like the Lion King, he also wanted to ask the Adeptus Mechanicus.

The black stone mined by Huang Quan No. 8 has been given to the enemies of mankind for free until the end of the Battle of Cadia, and the Adeptus Mechanicus has been studying the black stone material and the black stone creations among the many stars...

I studied loneliness.

"Go tell your Supreme Master." Ryan looked at the Deathwing Captain, "If you want to use the Black Stone, you must ensure that there are at least three combat teams stationed near the Black Stone, and ensure that the Black Stone is covered by a void shield or energy shield. In defense facilities.”

The company commander nodded.

These are the rules of war that were set before the war started.

"Now we need to add another one." Ryan raised a finger, "Make sure there are backup combatants near the black stone creation. Once the enemy's black stone creation falls near our black stone, go over and dismantle it immediately. The materials are still there. To stay and be sent to the fleet."

"Yes." The company commander saluted and teleported directly from the bridge to Land No. 1 to find Azrael.

After watching his offspring leave, Ryan looked at the symbols representing Azrael and Ezekiel on the tactical table and sighed helplessly.

He really wanted to call Azrael over and reprimand him, but Qin Mo also said that he wanted to do what Azriel did, but he didn't expect that someone who could use the black stone would appear among the enemies.

After pondering, Ryan shook off the thoughts in his head and asked Qin Mo about Guilliman's whereabouts: "What is Guilliman doing?"

"Robote is busy changing shifts." Qin Mo said.
