Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 313 05.0312: ‘Storm Murder’

The positioning of this airborne landing was calculated based on the relative triangular positions of the planet sphere, star castle orbit, and airborne destination. It was a blind landing among the blind landings.

Soon, the Valkyrie fighter plane plunged into the black clouds of the storm, and the shaking of the aircraft in the storm became even more violent.

Horatio could clearly feel that the flight path began to deviate. He and Louise were swaying on the seats fixed in them, like a small boat on a rough ocean.

"Debrief, pilot."

"Sir, we have rushed into the center of the snow storm. The hurricane is causing bumps to the aircraft, but everything is still under control." the pilot reported.

Louise sat next to her, fiddling with her helmet, looking calm and not at all frightened by the bumps.

“This unpleasant flight is going to continue for a while.

Now, all detachments are on the same schedule, and we will reach the ground in about two hours. There are four Valkyrie fighter jets around us, and their flight conditions are all normal. If the situation goes bad, the pilot will emergency open the rear cabin and let everyone jump out. "

Horatio let out a long breath, took the gum from his leg pocket, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it to resist the bulging of his eardrums.

"Do you need it?" He tore open a new piece of chewing gum and handed it to Louise.

"Thank you. The outside temperature is minus 40 degrees, which is really cold."

She took a piece and rolled it into her mouth deftly with her tongue. Horatio accidentally glanced and found that her tongue was much slender than ordinary people, well, at least slender than Farida's.

This is a mutation produced by the Cadians living under the eye of fear for a long time.

"Perhaps you had experienced this kind of unpleasant storm landing when you were in the Kashezin reserve?"

“There have been a few times where hurricanes erupted regularly on Cadia, but they were not natural occurrences.

When we were at the Alicia Desert Airborne Training Range, a sandstorm blew off the wings of two Valkyries.

I was lucky enough to land safely, and when we were hiking on the ground to search for other bodies, what I saw left a big impression on me as a child. This is an experience I have never had in Baidun. "

The conversation between the two was quickly interrupted by a vague message that was noisy and harsh due to the storm.

"Sir, this is the 14th vanguard group. We were attacked by anti-aircraft artillery fire, but the aircraft is currently intact."

"Stay steady and let the pilot take you to speed away. If necessary, you are allowed to parachute in advance. Ensure survival first."

"Yes, Captain."

The communication was disconnected.

"The team in the third theater was attacked by anti-aircraft fire. I hope the snowstorm will make it less easy for the anti-aircraft fire to hit us."

Although I think so, it is indeed difficult, because the bird's eye radar does not need to rely on sight to find the enemy. It will automatically lock on the target and calculate the advance to fire.

The only good thing is that no missile weapon can hit the target normally in such a violent storm. Their biggest threat is live artillery fire, but the effective range of these weapons is relatively short, and it is even shorter in a storm. As long as it survives the range Just a small area.

Half an hour later.

Bang! Bang!

"Damn it, the enemy anti-aircraft fortress discovered us, and we were violently attacked. Damn it! There's fragments coming in."

The sound of Henry Harvey's curses and the screams of David Betty von Ravensberg sounded extremely noisy.

"Detachment 5, hold on. How is the machine's condition?" Horatio asked.

"It's okay! It should hold up." Harvey put on his helmet, and David Betty's scream disappeared instantly.

"Ask the pilot to open the tail cabin in advance. If the situation goes bad, parachute immediately."

"Yes, Captain."

The communication was disconnected again.

Then the third communication came from Aqina.

"Horatio, this is Collingwood. We are 11 kilometers away from your aircraft. The enemy has discovered us. I can already see the black clouds of anti-aircraft guns rising outside. Be careful, they may also discover you. Be prepared."

"Understood, thanks for the reminder, Archie."

Horatio sat back down from the porthole next to Louise.

"The enemy may have spotted us. The aircraft carrying Collingwood's 3rd Detachment came under anti-aircraft fire."

The words just fell.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The anti-aircraft shells exploded into small black clouds in the airspace near the aircraft body, which were cleared away by the hurricane shortly after. They looked like small anti-aircraft air-explosion ammunition from the Hydra quadruple anti-aircraft cannon.

The body trembled with an unsettling tremor.

Louise remained calm and even blew bubbles with chewing gum.

She knew very well that in this situation, there was nothing they could do effectively as passengers.

The best countermeasure is to stay calm and collected and not spread your nervousness to others, especially the pilot.

Most of the detachment sent news that they were under attack.

But the damage is rarely too great.

So far, only one Valkyrie has suffered an unbalanced flight due to a broken wing tip. Passengers had to parachute out of the cabin in advance, and the aircraft flew into the distance dragging black smoke from its wing tips.

All the top soldiers landed safely, and there were no patrols searching for their traces in the blizzard.

The only problem was that they were about seven hundred kilometers away from their original destination.

However, a Taurus assault vehicle dropped by a Skyclaw Valkyrie transport aircraft in response to the support signal, and a sleigh can be their means of transportation.

"15th Detachment, your mission has been changed to infiltration and sabotage, and early warning of enemy movements. The other two detachments will send out scattered soldiers to complete your original mission."

"Yes, Captain."

The communication was hung up, and Horatio stared at the data board in his hand, frowning.

Another Valkyrie made an emergency landing. The team on board was a little far from the target and had no vehicles. They could only attack the nearby fortress on foot and wait for the new Valkyrie to pick them up after paralyzing the air defense.

"We are still 100 kilometers away from the target, and we will be there soon. Just in case, wear a helmet." He said.

Louise nodded and put the helmet on her head and buckled it.

"Airtightness is normal." The system detected the connection of the new component and began to self-check.

Anti-aircraft artillery fire exploded around the loose Valkyrie formation. Horatio felt like he was in a box, and a giant was holding the box and shaking it wantonly.

For some reason, the shaking force was getting stronger and stronger.

Perhaps there is a heavy artillery turret firing not far away.

To be on the safe side, Horatio used the omen fragments to explore what might happen next.

He saw that a heavy artillery with black and gold stripes and a silver metal skull decoration in the middle of the barrel was turning its muzzle.

Judging from the appearance details, this is a creation left by the Iron Warriors.

The caliber is about 210 mm, of course, it may be larger, 250, 280, both are possible.

The slender barrel that does not conform to the style of the 40K Empire creation raised its elevation angle, and the double-mounted black hole muzzle pointed to the distant sky.

"God Emperor..." Horatio quickly ended the omen, and then used the communication channel to shout to the formation pilots:

"Immediately disperse and turn, the enemy's heavy artillery is coming!!"

Boom!

This time it was finally not a muffled bang, but a heavy roar whistling from dozens of kilometers away, a destructive punch that was completely different from the previous small knocks.

The golden flame near the muzzle dispelled the nearby blizzard, and an arc drawn in the wind and snow was clearly visible.

After receiving the urgent order from the captain, the pilots did it one after another, although they did not understand why.

Just a moment after the formation dispersed, a huge explosion and golden fire exploded in the air.

Tens of thousands of fragments flew freely in the air.

Several Valkyrie fighters were hit by fragments, but the damage was not serious and they could still fly.

"Open the cabin door!" Horatio ordered urgently.

The equipment carried in the cabin is gone, and we can find ways to air transport and deploy it later, but people must not be hurt.

The rear cabin door slowly opened, and Horatio saw that there were several large holes in the tail of the Valkyrie fighter he was riding, but it did not affect the flight.

The two stood by the rear cabin, ready to parachute immediately if the situation was not good.

Horatio took a long breath. If there had not been an advance warning, the shrapnel storm generated by the shell just now would have been enough to tear the two Valkyries to pieces on the spot.

Let alone opening the rear hatch for an emergency parachute landing, I'm afraid that both the people and the plane would be gone in a second.

Boom! The terrible roar echoed again.

That was the second barrel of the twin-mounted cannon firing.

Bang!

The body shook violently, as if the giant had become impatient, holding the box in his big palm and throwing it away.

"The plane is out of control! The plane is out of control! Passengers and pilots parachute immediately!"

The pilot and weapon operator of the Valkyrie acted decisively. After finally confirming the fixing belt in a few breaths, they immediately activated the ejection escape device.

"Ugh!"

After hearing a muffled groan and a crash, Horatio, who stood firm, suddenly found that the person next to him was gone.

Louise was thrown directly into the air from the rear hatch during the previous shaking.

Horatio also jumped out of the tail cabin urgently, and confirmed the situation in the communication channel.

"Louise, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but the left engine of the gravity parachute is not responding! I can't control the direction of the gravity parachute!" Louise's voice came from the communication channel.

Ever since her parents urgently injected the unknown vaccine drug, one of the problems she often faced was that the machine soul was often unhappy.

She didn't know why, the side effects of the vaccine always caused strange malfunctions in her equipment.

It was like this before, and it is still like this now.

Therefore, she would spend a long time lighting incense and praying for weapons and equipment before going to battle, but problems would still occur occasionally.

Horatio turned on the floating state of the gravity parachute, and the energy meter bar on the display screen in front of him began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He used the electronic eyepiece on the helmet to find Louise's trace in the wind and snow. Soon, using electromagnetic signal positioning, Louise, who was struggling to float in the storm, was marked in the helmet eyepiece.

Below the two, the unmanned Valkyrie crashed into the ice on the surface of the lake. The huge fuselage directly broke the ice, and the leaked promethium melted the ice in the raging fire.

"Damn it!" Louise, who was spinning and falling in mid-air, gritted her teeth and punched the gravity parachute matrix.

After a few flashes, the engine spewed out flames, allowing her falling posture to return to normal.

But at this time, her height was too high to land smoothly, and the cold lake water below her had melted the surface ice.

Plop.

She plunged into the extremely cold lake at more than 40 degrees below zero.
