Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"I think we should have deployed the Star God a long time ago."

"After the Battle of Broome, they just stayed there and did nothing. Except for the one called the Void Dragon, of course."

After hearing Qin Mo's suggestion about deploying Star Gods, Ryan said what he had been holding back for a long time.

"Before, the pain-driven barrier on the iron ring was either the Word Bearers' obsidian crown. If the Star Gods were deployed in that environment, their lives would be in danger." Qin Mo seriously explained to Ryan that he had already said this "I once decreed that the remnants of the Skinned One should be exiled to the subspace. It dissipated as soon as it entered the subspace. This is the consequence."

"That's a risk." Ryan said, "It doesn't necessarily mean something will happen..."

"The Star Gods are not good people, but they are controlled by me and fight for me, so I must be responsible for their safety." Qin Mo interrupted the second half of Ryan's sentence, "If the Dark Angel had joined In the Defense of Tyron, like the Ultramarines and the Blood Angels, I will also refuse to develop any tactics that may lead to a high probability of their death."

Ryan stared into Qin Mo's eyes.

Qin Mo continued: "I cannot accept the possibility of Star God being destroyed by subspace energy, even if this possibility is infinitely close to zero, whether from my personal perspective or from the perspective of one of the three commanders-in-chief of the expeditionary force. , or from the perspective of human beings and the real universe, I can’t accept it.”

After listening to Qin Mo's firm words, Ryan was silent for a few seconds and then touched his gray beard and nodded with a smile: "I understand, I understand, of course."

Qin Mo nodded and said nothing more.

Ryan slowly stood up and walked to the huge porthole of the bridge of the Glory of Humanity, looking down at the shining iron rings below: "After a strange force caused the barrier of the iron rings to dissipate, I proposed that your naval marshal focus on bombing Wherever the Obsidian Crown exists, I have prepared for orbital bombardment, and have previously formulated a series of large-scale reconnaissance operations specifically for the Obsidian Crown. We just need to wait for the orbital bombardment to pull out the Obsidian Crowns."

"Then we can deploy the Star Gods to conclude this critical battle." Qin Mo nodded.

"Of course." Ryan nodded as well, and then suddenly turned back to look at Qin Mo, "How did the barrier created by Vashtor be dismantled?"

"Use a tool called the domination engine." Qin Mo did not explain much in detail.

Not only because he had just finished a grand strategy and was a little tired and didn't want to say anything, but also because he himself didn't particularly know how he used the command engine to disintegrate the barrier.

It was like making a wish, like asking Guilliman to grow taller.

With just this thought, the iron ring's barrier to orbital bombardment dissipated.

"Maybe we can also wait for the orbital bombardment to blow the iron ring into pieces, so that we don't have to fight the enemy on the ground." Guilliman said suddenly.

"For strategic reasons, I don't think we should spend too much time waiting for orbital bombardment." Ryan looked at his brother again, "The iron ring is not just a huge void structure that binds several planets. The layer upon layer of solid fortresses would take a long time even with orbital bombardment.”

Guilliman tilted his head slightly.

On the surface, he didn't have any doubts about Ryan, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.

Ryan didn't want to wait for more than 40,000 warships to blow up the iron ring from the outside to the inside. Even if it did take a while, how much time could it take with the size of the main fleet.

I'm afraid it's more likely that he didn't want to carry out a huge expedition as a war commander for the first time, but because of his poor attack, he gave other brothers and Qin Mo the impression that he was not suitable to be a war commander.

Although there are compelling reasons for the slow pace of the main fleet's attack, not everyone cares about the reasons.

Looking at Qin Mo again, Guilliman felt that he had had enough of life in the Eye of Terror. He also knew that Ryan was serious and naturally knew what Ryan was thinking, but he did not necessarily support Ryan. He should just be fed up with this place.

"Since you have all made your decision, my opinion is that I fully support you." Guilliman thought for less than a second and responded to the two of them very naturally.

Ryan and Qin Mo looked at each other and then began to make detailed arrangements.

…

Before the orbital bombardment began, all the combat troops sent to the iron ring by Ryan returned one after another.

The next battle in which the Star Gods were deployed did not require so many conventional troops, so only a small number of absolute elite warriors from the first company of the Ultramarines and Dark Angels Chapters joined the Star Gods in the battle.

The two Chapter Masters, Calgar and Azrael, personally led the elites of these Chapters. They gathered at the place where the battle was about to take place, waiting for the C'tan to be ready.

Every Space Marine's armor has a cognitive filter implanted in advance to filter out the horrific oppression that the Star Gods bring to others and the various negative effects they inadvertently cause.

If there are only fragments such as Mimic, Void Dragon and Burner, the Cognitive Filter will not be of much use, but a complete Star God will participate in the next battle.

Outsider Saranoga.

Originally, Saranoga and the Celestial Engine assisted the White Scars Chapter and its Primarch Jaghatai in fighting, but when Jaghatai attacked the Wizard Planet, Saranoga could not play any role, and could only use Jaghatai's The fleet left and ran in a large circle along the black stones of the Eye of Terror to the main fleet.

It's really needed here.

When Saranoga floated from outside the battleship into the battleship, it saw huge black stone structures made by countless void dragons pouring into the iron ring like a torrential rain.

The orbital bombardment carried out by more than 40,000 battleships has turned the surface of the Iron Ring and other planets bound by it upside down. No anti-aircraft positions or exposed Obsidian Crown can intercept the black stones launched from the fleet as before.

"When the coverage of the black stone structure on the surface of the iron ring reaches 80%, we will take those mortal bodies and go down to end this war."

The void dragon slowly floated over from behind Saranoga and stopped on its right side.

Saranoga glanced at the assembled elite Space Marines.

He did not see the New Thunder Warriors, because those New Thunder Warriors did not evacuate before the orbital bombardment began. They had already penetrated into the iron ring to ensure that those places that were temporarily out of reach of the orbital bombardment would not become a lingering place for the enemy.

"It's just the two of us?" Saranoga looked around. It couldn't detect the aura of the Mimic or the Burner. "This is the Eye of Terror. If we go down, won't we still have to fight the enemy face to face? It's probably less efficient if it's just the two of us. not enough."

"The Burner went to deal with the affairs of an ant civilization. After he came back, he went to the branch fleet. The mimic that was supposed to replace it has not returned yet. The reporter doesn't know where. Some idiot may have been punished for getting too close to a mortal. Yes, I warned it earlier. So of course, it’s just the two of us." said the Void Dragon.

Saranoga was visibly dissatisfied.

The fleet it is in is at a different speed from the main fleet. As far as it knows, the Burner has returned to the Saint-Les fleet. This shows that the next battle is likely to take place in the non-material world. The Burner is good at The massacre madman will not participate, but it, a god who does not like close combat, will participate.

"But you don't have to worry about us having to chop those ants into pieces with our own hands." Void Dragon spoke again, "I have improved the casting process of black stone, and now it is easier to use."

As more and more black stones were deployed, Saranoga found that he could gradually feel the iron ring below.

This means that its power can be conducted through matter, rather than being dissipated or suppressed in the illogical turbulence of ether.

Indeed, as Void Dragon said, there is no need to worry about efficiency.
