Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Daily (accidental) thought: War is often won or lost in an instant, and any tiny detail may determine the outcome.

At the foot of the Evergreen Hills, two huge steel groups are just like their names, like knights riding war horses and holding high spears. While attacking each other on an epic stage, you also leave your destiny to the goddess of fate.

But unlike the medieval duel field, there is never any real fairness on the real battlefield.

It was the sacrifice of life and death by the mortal soldiers of the Tindalos Legion that gave these Imperial Knights that slight advantage in facing more enemies.

+The distance is 2245m, the target unit has plasma reaction...+

The machine soul of the Imperial Knight screamed and fed back to its driver. In the core of the Titan, which was wrapped in heavy armor, and on the Iron Throne, the knight who was surrounded by cables closed his eyes and used all his spirit to sense and control this huge building. The steel giant.

"Their ion shield is down from the front, and it will take time to adjust. This is our chance!" The voice of the knight leader mixed with the Titan's machine soul sounded in the communication channel with a hoarseness that was not human.

The imperial knights of both families discovered the enemy's vulnerabilities, so within a few seconds, the machine soul received the driver's order, and the weapon array above its head began to emit steam preheated by the circuits and pipelines.

+Distance 2150m, entering the weapon strike range...+

The Knight Titans continued to move forward, and the six giants in the first row stopped uniformly.

The missile launch nests above their heads suddenly flipped up, and the fallen knights at the foot of the mountain were entangled and unable to deal with it.

A total of eighteen stored Storm Spear rockets were fired at the rhythm of three rounds in the violent tail flame transpiration.

More than a hundred missiles with scarlet red warnings of death threats took advantage of the window where the knights below could not adjust the angle of their ion shields and flew closer and closer in their eyes.

The automatic cannons on the giant's shoulders were firing wildly, trying to intercept these deadly projectiles.

But don't say that it is not easy to intercept such a saturation attack. Just say that this is only the first wave of attacks from the Imperial Knights.

After the launch was completed, the giants on the hillside continued to shoot forward with Hell Cannons. The following Knight Titans stood at the position where the former had just stayed and continued to maintain suppressive firepower with more missiles.

At the foot of the mountain, the fallen knights finally cleared away the mortal threat, but the attack above them was already close at hand.

They desperately adjusted the height of the ion shield, but the missiles that drew an arc and were designed to attack the top from the beginning had already arrived first.

The hard metal collided with the armor, and the high-energy explosives in the warhead ignited instantly. The long-rod-like armor-piercing cone struggled forward to shred the obstruction, and then turned into a hot metal jet to penetrate the armor, and then blasted the armor in the armor. The long-rotten flesh was torn to pieces, burned, and finally turned into coke...

All of this happened in a short period of less than ten seconds, and it was at this moment that twelve members of the Gorius family's steel group lost their lives here.

The subsequent knights began to counterattack, and the two knight titans belonging to the empire also began to suffer casualties on the way to the charge.

But after all, they are the ones who take the initiative in attacking. Their commanding charge gives them a strong kinetic advantage, and more ranger knight titans also give them full convenience in close combat.

The huge giants unfolded their chain swords, which were more than 5 meters long, horizontally while running. After firing the last shell in the cannon chamber, these giants rushed straight into the armor of the Gorches family with two kilometers of terrifying kinetic energy. array.

boom!

Two dense explosions were connected together, and the giant's blade slashed through the waist of the fallen fellow.

The sound of metal breaking and the wail of machine spirits rang in his ears. The moment the ion shield was overloaded, armor fragments flew on his chest.

However, at this time, he had already stepped out of the enemy's shooting range. When he bumped into another knight titan, the chain sword he wielded also harvested another fallen soul.

The same scene appeared on the entire frontal battlefield. The same dozen giants used their cold wills to collide with hundreds of tons of steel, once again reenacting the scene of medieval heavily armored knights attacking the enemy's formation with their own strength.

The enemy's resistance continues, but more and more knights are attacking...

The array belonging to the Chaos Knights on the battlefield was gradually torn apart, penetrated, and then divided and surrounded.

Black and red paints are becoming less and less common on the battlefield, while the empire's gold and blue giants are becoming more and more common.

The enemy finally collapsed. Under the covering firepower of the Titan Legion behind them, the remaining Knight Titans slowly retreated to their formation.

After harvesting some of the broken demons and fallen knights, the imperial knights who tried to pursue them also retreated to the foot of the mountain under the cover of the imperial position, dragging their fallen comrades and damaged Titans back to their positions.

On the position halfway up the mountain, the giants responsible for long-range support were still shooting, while the surviving Tindalos soldiers at the foot of the mountain were in the trenches full of gunpowder smoke and flames of war, looking up at this apocalyptic and heroic scene...

"Have we won?" A young knight asked in a daze.

Having just completed the armor conferment ceremony, he stepped onto the battlefield for the first time and participated in this apocalyptic battle. And this most bloody and tragic exchange between giants was difficult for him, who thought he was the master of war, to accept it.

"No." Another older knight drove the Titan and dragged the body of the deceased family leader past him.

He pointed at the distant sound of cannons on the mountain above his head, and then looked at the approaching Titan legions at the far end of his field of vision:

"This is just the beginning..."

——

Yes, although this war was tragic enough in the eyes of those involved, for the entire planet Moro and even the entire empire, it was still just an inconspicuous wave in the grand torrent of war.

For Calvin, who presided over the war in the entire Moro Star and even the entire Gian Moro Sector, this seemingly tragic battle was just an episode in the early stages of the collision between two huge legions from a global perspective.

He didn't even have time to pay attention to how many sacrifices the soldiers here had made, and how difficult it was to hold this position.

Because as a legion from the Great Crusade era, the Word Bearers' souls have fallen into corruption, but their military power will only become stronger under the care of the gods.

This position of less than five kilometers was only part of the area under the Evergreen Hills that was attacked by Chaos. In other directions, the Empire's soldiers were also facing more fierce attacks from demons and fallen Astartes.

Calvin no longer had any troops in reserve, except for a hundred sea wolves who were all injured and resting in the rear. Even the Gray Knights participated in the counterattack against the Word Bearers.

As the Murder Lords entered the battlefield, the only thing Calvin could rely on was the psychic Titan that had been with him for many years, the Imperial Commissar, and the blade in his own hand.
