Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"go ahead."

A rocket was refilled into the living weapon in Piccolo's hand. It slowly moved forward and spoke words that could not only be spread among the communication systems of these psychic iron men.

It is obviously reminding the surrounding humans to attack with them.

The vast majority of Space Marines were not only puzzled by the appearance of these skeleton iron men, but were also unwilling to fight side by side with these things that looked like subspace creatures, until Guilliman's roar shook their eardrums, and Guilliman personally Hold the Emperor's Sword and rush forward to fight with the Ironmen.

The Space Marines also took action.

Qin Mo no longer searched for opponents who needed to be dealt with personally while trying to advance the front line. When iron men like Piccolo appeared, he realized that the only issue he needed to consider now was what to do after entering the jagged webway, and Rush in with someone.

He eagerly ordered Thrall, who was driving the Titan, to come to him immediately over the communication channel, no matter where he was, because there might be his garrison in the webway of Vashtor.

Then there were the Thunder Warriors, and a reserve force of Space Marines that Llane had deliberately left behind.

As for the mortals, Qin Mo did not ask any mortals to enter the webway with him, because being able to fight here is the ultimate of mortals' courage and ability.

The only person left to consider whether he should be allowed into the webway is Guilliman.

"Perhaps you should stay outside the network to help Ryan formulate a strategy." Qin Mo said in the communication channel.

"I have to go in." Guilliman casually split a daemon engine into two pieces. "If there is a second person besides you who can completely annihilate a subspace creature, it will be extremely advantageous."

Qin Mo said nothing more, stood up and moved closer to Guilliman's position.

Qin Mo could guess that the Iron Men were entities composed of spiritual energy matrices in the subspace, and were equivalent to another form of demons. They were more powerful than the original Iron Men in the special environment they were in.

Their bodies are not bound by the laws of physics and are not bulky or sluggish.

Ironmen move across the battlefield faster than Space Marines, aiming and killing, and it's everywhere you look.

The Chaos Space Marines had enough difficulty dealing with the Astartes on the expeditionary force's side. They were no match for those iron men in the form of skeletons.

It is difficult for the Demon Engine to match them. Only the Titans can compete with them. However, the weapons in Piccolo's hands have unimaginable anti-armor capabilities, causing those Titans who dare to block its way to be blown up like the unlucky warriors before. Not even a residue was left, leaving patches of absolute nothingness on the battlefield.

This is not the only problem the enemy has to face. What is more terrifying than the weapons in Piccolo's hands is that when these psychic iron men appear on the battlefield in large numbers, the situation of the war is distorted in some strange way.

It was as if the influence of the Blood God indirectly led to the outbreak of this extremely high-intensity ground battle, leading to the emergence of a war situation in which the two armies faced off against each other.

The emergence of psychic iron men makes war more and more inclined to head-on battles without any tactics and strategies, just like the mass war that once broke out in the Hades galaxy.

Either because the psychic iron men appeared too suddenly, or because the subspace communication device installed by Vashtor for the army he had assembled through coaxing, deceiving, and threatening suddenly became less smooth. In short, the influence of the tactics became weaker. Yes, it is not that it does not exist at all, but it has little impact. There are always various emergencies that prevent an exquisite tactical strategy from being implemented.

All psykers in and around the Eye of Terror heard the roar from the warp. Brutal bloody conflicts occurred on many imperial worlds close to the Eye of Terror, and the demon world inside the Eye of Terror set off a bloody storm.

These far-reaching changes all originate from the angry roar of the blood god who is paying attention to this bloody battle, because it can no longer see the exquisite tactics from the ground battle, which is the most evenly matched situation and best demonstrates the clever tactics of the combatants. and enough courage and sacrifice to turn the situation around.

War has become a complete conversion of quality, as if everything involved in the war has been weighed on a scale and clearly marked with a price.

A metal skeleton-like Iron Man is not unstoppable, but it requires a sufficient amount of flesh and blood and ammunition to kill it, and the cost of disappearing from the battlefield is high.

The Iron Warriors have Ironmen, and Vash'tor has something similar, but they're either sparse in number or deployed with a focus on not breaking defenses.

For those Chaos Space Marines fighting for Vashtor and the Eye of Terror, there is only one way to maintain their advantage in the head-to-head confrontation between the two sides, and that is that they must use flesh and blood in exchange for the opponent's Iron Man or Space Marine 's death.

How many lives should be exchanged for an iron man like a metal skeleton? This question will not be thought in the brain of any Chaos Space Marine, because they made a wiser choice-to retreat before thinking of this step.

"Get out of here! Fuck Vashtor!"

"We can't trade our lives with a bunch of bullies here!"

The shouts were mixed with the sound of artillery fire, and the reaction of the Chaos Space Marines was not beyond anyone's expectations. Even Vashtor himself had expected their retreat, and even thought that they would be eligible for the award if they could persist until now. Thanks.

The Chaos Space Marines are not cowards, but they will never die for something they think they shouldn't die for. They immediately withdraw from the battle line, so fast that it is difficult not to think that they are prepared.

But unknown to the Chaos Space Marines, Vash'tor was responsible not only for the lives of their fallen comrades, but also for its poor decisions.

Within the webway.

Vashtor, who was observing the battle situation, turned around and walked out, leaving only Bilak with a light word: "I failed, let's take the next step."

"Your machine increases the psychic influence of those technological creations." Be'lak spread his wings, soared into the air and landed in front of Vashtor, blocking its way. "Your mistake is like performing a ritual. It's just that you didn't let those iron men lie down, but summoned a more terrifying iron man opponent, and then you just wanted to leave like this?"

Vashtor turned around and glanced at the demonic device that was still wailing, and then looked back at Bilak: "My failure is just like a partial failure on our front. It is not irreversible, nor is it a huge disaster. wrong."

Belak wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Vashtor's next words.

"During the long struggle, I have learned a truth. Temporary failures and setbacks are meaningless to creatures like us. We are not short-lived mortal beings. There is no need to worry about failure countless times. Just succeed once."

After saying this, Vashtor left.

Billak looked at the forge master's back and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Close the entrance and exit of the webway." Vashtor replied without looking back, "to prevent the fateful enemy from entering."

Bilak frowned slightly, his eyes focused on the battle situation.

When the entrances and exits of the Webway are closed, those friendly forces in the core area of ​​the battle line will be in a situation of no retreat.

It was equivalent to Vashtor betraying the many servants of Chaos that he had coaxed, deceived, and forced, and tried his best to persuade to join the war.

Although even if all the friendly forces near the entrance and exit of the webway were slaughtered, it would only be the failure of one position on the entire front. However, Bealak believed that for those Chaos Space Marines, the death of one of their battle brothers somewhere might be a serious problem. have an overall impact on them.
