Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

"The enemy's Titan forces will only have one goal, and that is to annihilate our Titans. It's that simple."

"It's too late to let the Titans evacuate. All we can do is win a Titan battle at the smallest cost possible, at a relatively small cost."

Ryan spoke while pointing to the overall image of the Iron Warriors not breaking through the defense displayed in front of him.

While the clone masters were discussing, there was also a discussion going on in the bridge of the expeditionary force's flagship.

While the clones were still racking their brains to think about how to report the arrival of enemy reinforcements, Ryan was already formulating a strategy for the sudden arrival of reinforcements.

The reason is that the Emperor has clearly informed the revelations of other wills from the subspace. Many of the enemy's decisions are no longer things that need to be speculated and speculated on by the expedition fleet. The news of the sudden arrival of reinforcements has already been conveyed to the ears of the commanders. .

"Nearly a hundred Titan legions and tens of thousands of knights." Guilliman pointed to the unbreakable defense line in front of him. "So many war machines will be deployed by the enemy to the unbreakable defense line to fight against our divine machines. It’s not the time to consider the cost, just win.”

"I agree with Roboute." Qin Mo nodded.

Nearly a hundred Titan legions, thousands of knights, these are the exact words of the new revelation given by the Emperor just now.

It sounds scary, but both Qin Mo and the two original bodies know very well that the enemy's Titan legions are full of moisture.

Some Titan legions are splinters of a rebel Titan legion, just like warbands that splintered from the Space Marine legions.

For example, the Flame Skull Titan Legion was nearly destroyed in the Battle of Cadia. Its survivors claimed to have rebuilt the Titan Legion, but in fact, there were no more than single-digit Titans in this so-called legion.

But Guilliman made a rough estimate and felt that there would be at least three thousand Titans.

As for the tens of thousands of knights, they are indeed tens of thousands.

"We... um..." Ryan was about to reveal his plan. After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't help complaining, "Damn it, if we weren't in the Eye of Terror now, I have a hundred ways to do it. Bring destruction to the traitor's war machine."

After hearing what his brother said, Guilliman couldn't help but agree.

If you are outside the Eye of Terror, there are many ways to deal with so many ground forces composed of Titans and Knights. The simplest is to gain orbital control through fleet advantage and then conduct orbital bombing.

To destroy so many Titans as the Emperor said, all it would take was an orbital bombardment from the Glorious Mankind flagship, which would turn over the planet's crust. No matter how numerous the Titans were, they would not be able to escape death.

But unfortunately the battlefield is not outside the Eye of Terror.

"There is a reason why the Iron Ring dares to lie directly in front of our fleet. They are confident. Assuming that we are the only ones who can use the Black Stone, the Black Stone torpedoes and orbital bombing can also eliminate those Titans." Qin Mo spread his hands.

"Damn Luojia, damn the Word Bearers." Ryan cursed.

Guilliman put his hand on Ryan's shoulder and said firmly: "I know that the Eye of Terror limits your performance, but we are in the Eye of Terror now, so we should formulate a strategy, or we can deploy the Titan Legion Pull out, or we'll fight a battle."

"It's not like the Titans will return to the ship the next second after we give the order to retreat. They just destroyed the giant anti-ship weapon and haven't started to rest yet. They can't retreat at all." Ryan considered the possibility of evacuating the Titans.

"So." Guilliman nodded.

While watching, Ryan took a deep breath to calm his thoughts, then stared at the image that did not break the defense line for a few seconds, and slowly said what he was thinking.

"Although we cannot realize the unbreakable defense line until all Obsidian Crowns are completely removed, we can at least realize a battlefield."

"Let's have an ambush, that's all I can think of."

Lion then began to explain his strategy in detail to Guilliman and Qin Mo.

Many factors in the Eye of Terror did restrict Ryan, which led him to formulate a very conventional ambush strategy, arranging some powerful Titans on the traffic thoroughfares, and using the cover of the giant fortress built by the Iron Warriors to ambush them.

Due to the fact that all tactics must rely heavily on the blackstone structure, and the blackstone structure has not yet been fully deployed, and the Word Bearers' ability to utilize blackstone makes it impossible to lay out blackstone on a large scale like they did on Broome before. …

The formulation and execution of the ambush strategy will be very simple. Under Guilliman's suggestion, Lion set up a supply base surrounded by a large number of blackstone structures for the Titans' subsequent series of battles. The Mechanicum's maintenance team will Settled down in the supply base.

It is equivalent to the rear of the Titan battle line.

"I tried my best." After Ryan finished his simple-sounding thoughts, he said as if to explain, "This is the first large-scale expedition I led after becoming Warmaster. I know that I am in this war. I haven’t formulated any amazing or surprisingly successful strategic plan, but I really..."

"I understand." Qin Mo interrupted Ryan, "If it were me, I would probably only be able to think of confronting the enemy head-on in this hellish place called the Eye of Terror. There are too many factors that are out of control and disadvantageous to us. "

There was a hint of gratitude in Lion's eyes, and he turned to Guilliman.

Guilliman was silent for two seconds before speaking: "If it were me, I would choose to conduct a long-lasting reconnaissance activity on the Eye of Terror until the environment here is very clear before starting a war, but not everything It gives me plenty of time to prepare and plan.”

Feeling the consideration coming from his brother, Ryan nodded with a complicated expression.

"I will personally participate in the ground battle." Qin Mo said the decision that he had thought about several times.

When Lion and Guilliman wanted to ask about the reason for participating in the battle, Qin Mo had already stated the reason: "If Vashtor comes to the Iron Ring with its reinforcements, I want to try to destroy it. Even if it He is too cunning to give me a chance, so I have to try to seize the three artifacts."

Before the strategic meeting began, Qin Mo had already told Ryan and Guilliman what the three artifacts were, their functions, and who had the three artifacts.

"Let's go together this time." Guilliman said, subconsciously tightening the Emperor's Sword at his waist. "If we need a way to make Vashtor show up... I believe it will not miss one. An opportunity to attack the Primarch who is personally directing the battle from the front lines.”

Qin Mo understood that Guilliman wanted to go down as bait. He thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
