Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 459 Black and Red, the Plan in the Shadows (Forty-four) Before the Decisive Battle-The Loneliness of Blood Crow

The offensive of the Chaos army stalled again, and gradually faded away from the Empire's positions during the deployment of the distant Titan legions - the Lords of Murder.

Erebus in orbit later received news of Sarath's death in battle, thus confirming Calvin's location.

At this time, he already roughly knew the identity of the original body, but this did not hinder his ambition, or with a force advantage of nearly ten times, as a veteran who survived the Great Crusade, he would not overdo it. Superstitious about the force of the Primarch.

On the contrary, he will only feel that defeating a original body is a greater challenge and glory after occupying an absolute power advantage.

The main force of the Word Bearers finally began to appear, and the demonic legions accompanying them also began to descend on the world of Moro.

There are still millions of traitorous legions on the ground, and these slaves of Chaos who have just retreated from the front lines of the war have now become the flesh and blood rewards paid to the demonic legions before the real Word Bearers legion comes on the scene.

The Predator Titan, painted in black and red and covered with ferocious and sharp armor, was slowly walking down from the huge Titan Ark, escorted by the War Dog Titan and the Covenant Knight family of the same color and even more mutated.

After the battle groups of many similar Predator Titans were all in place, in the darkness in the center of the Ark queue, the true leader of this second-level Titan Legion - the Warlord Titan also stepped out of the darkness.

The red meteors in orbit were falling in pieces, like a doomsday scene, but the goal of these Word Bearers' vanguards was the mortal army belonging to their own camp.

Explosions and shock waves were set off in the camp of the traitorous legion. The Word Bearers who emerged from the death claws enjoyed the killing of these mortals with their most ferocious faces.

The scarlet blasphemous runes as big as a square were forged with human blood, and the edges of the vicious chaos circle were filled with skulls of the fallen.

Huge killings and fear surged across the north of the continent, which once caused the consciousness of the Legion led by Calvin to retreat. The vast subspace gates tore reality apart, and thousands of demons walked out of it.

The soldiers of the empire were also retreating, especially after Calvin vaguely sensed the opponent's ultimate goal. They slowly withdrew from the narrow front of Lucapaglia and began to move towards the final decisive battle battlefield preset by Calvin - Long Island. Gathering on Qingshan Hill.

The two giant war beasts representing different positions, despite the huge size gap between them, turned a blind eye to each other's momentum at the last moment of the decisive battle.

Calvin and Erebus, the supreme commanders of the two camps, are currently making final preparations for war.

On the battlefield in other directions of Gian Moro, the forces belonging to both the Empire and Chaos are also trying their best to move towards the center of the war.

The empire's troops on Otto's front line have been gathered together. Although they are facing the devastation left by the Chaos side, Ragnar and Sarvis still cooperate with the second-line troops coming from the Tribunal to complete the final settlement. After the mission, he led the fleet to Moro.

The situation on the side of the Word Bearers is even more bizarre. A fleet larger than Erebus has arrived at the edge of Moro, but it has not participated in the current battlefield, and the legion flagship carrying the fallen primarch Lorgar ——The Prayer of the Three Saints is at the center of this fleet of ships that has been attracted by the fleet.

The war on the planet Moro seems to be about to break out, and the climax of the entire Battle of Gian Moro will soon be staged. However, the Blood Ravens, far behind the enemy in the northern part of the star sector, are still struggling with their mission...

Yes, it’s a struggle.

At this time, the Blood Ravens had less than half of their strength at the beginning of the war, and their assault cruiser, Heart of Thirst, had also been heavily damaged in previous battles with the defenders.

The Blood Ravens, who arrived in the Padilla System in the northern part of the sector, the rear of the Word Bearers, launched five raids on the defenders here in less than a week.

It was these attacks that effectively delayed Erebus's sacrifice ceremony, and they also paid a heavy price.

The commander of this company, Lemoore, the Blood Ravens think tank who had met with Calvin, had died in the third raid. Now, it is the company's adjutant and his apprentice Levan who continues to command the company.

At this moment, this young Blood Raven is leading his comrades, lurking in the world of Axel on the edge of the Padilla Galaxy, and this is also one of the last two of the six locations predicted by Lemuel when he entered the war. .

"Will fate be on our side?" Sergeant Giotto asked Levan.

Just two hours ago, they intercepted a supply ship heading to Aksay, and relied on this transport ship to conduct a final surprise attack on Aksay.

The result of the operation was not successful. They only encountered an interception from the elite troops of the Word Bearers when they entered the periphery of the core defense circle.

The already small number of troops was again lost by more than half in the fierce battle, and they were forced to withdraw from the battlefield on the ground after only completing the destruction of a church in the area.

And this was just the beginning, the enemy's pursuit did not end with their withdrawal.

The assault ships of the brigade followed their footsteps, forcing the Heart of Desire into the asteroid belt of the nearby star system, and the battlecruisers belonging to the Word Bearers in the distance also began to appear within the detection range of the auspicious device. Inside.

"I don't know, but if I were you, I wouldn't have such boring thoughts."

Levan stared at the lights on the starport and answered to Giotto behind him. Lemuel's last words and the token of the Primarch were in his hands, but he had no hope of Calvin's promise.

The countless sacrifices of the Blood Ravens over thousands of years have told them that if there is a God of Destiny, then He is definitely a god full of malice towards them.

The promise given by the original body was conditional, and even this condition was not fulfilled. Now he and his comrades were surrounded by enemies. As for the distant redemption, he was no longer able to think about it...

——

boom! boom! boom! boom!

The plains at the foot of the Evergreen Hills rang out with artillery fire again. After less than half a day of calm, the battlefield on the Moro side was finally occupied by the offensive of the Chaos army again.

The Murder Lord's battle group has appeared at the end of the field of vision, and now appearing at the front of the defense line is their contracted family, Gorius.

This powerful family of knights traces their history back to the Dark Ages, and have been living in Darnar since the founding of the Empire.

Their way of doing things is like their family crest, like a violent hammer that smashes everything that stands before them.

Only destruction can arouse their desires, and only destruction can allow this family, which has been thrown into Chaos together with Kratos, the contract casting world, to gain a short and false sense of life.

Now they appear again and stand on the opposite side of the empire, and this time behind them is the entire Word Bearers Legion.
