Warhammer: My Brother Is the Emperor.

Chapter 169 Krieger's Glory (Full Book)

The World Engine appeared, and Said, without saying a word, manipulated the fleet to collide collectively, turning it into a powerful bomb and destroying the World Engine.

It's not that Said doesn't want to fight conventional naval battles. He was shocked by the [-] warships that were wiped out in an instant before, and he didn't expect conventional warfare to win.

Anyway, the fleet is controlled by puppets, and there is no human being, so it happens to be used as a kamikaze special attack.

However, the Primarchs couldn't stand it any longer, and Guilliman said in pain, "Your Highness, don't do it! The torpedo torpedo and the nova cannon haven't been used yet!"

"Although the production capacity of warships is large, they are not cheap. Why don't you try conventional combat first!"

As soon as the words fell, the Nova guns of the Primarch Legion fleet fired a volley, focusing on the two tomb ships, easily blasting the tomb ships, and then aimed their guns at the world engine.

Saeed replied: "You guys quickly stay away from the world engine, I just paralyzed its power system!"

Although the Primarch didn't know why, he still obeyed the order. The fleet had just dispersed when countless electric arcs swept across, easily breaking through the void shield, and blasting countless battleships.

In an instant, countless groups of fireworks appeared in the void, including the puppet fleet and the Primarch fleet.

However, thanks to Said's timely reminder, they left the range of the arc in time, and the main force of the Imperial Fleet was still there, launching a counterattack together.

More than 5000 Nova Cannons fired a salvo and focused on the World Engine. Said was surprised to find that the World Engine actually had a shield, or a void shield.

With its powerful energy, the Void Shield easily blocks the Nova Cannon, and moves slowly, returning fire with arcs.

At the same time, the world engine maintains contact with the pyramid array, repairs the remains of soldiers recovered from the surface, and transmits them back to the surface.

Wherever the green arc light went, the imperial fleets evaded one after another, not daring to take it hard at all. Gradually, the world engine occupied the low-earth orbit.

This meant that the Imperial fleet could no longer destroy the pyramid arrays through orbital bombardment.

If the suicide crash hadn't paralyzed the power system, the world engine would have achieved this goal faster.

At this time, Guilliman sighed and said, "Your Highness, I suddenly discovered that suicide collision is indeed a good idea."

Sanguinius teased: "But it's too late, the enemy's void shield is raised, and the arc array is activated, we have no chance."

Leon Johnson said: "The void shield is probably connected to the fragments of the Star God, and the long-range bombardment will take a long time to shoot, why don't you jump to the gang!"

Vulkan said: "I agree, jumping out of gangs earlier and solving it earlier will save some people from dying."

So, the four primarchs gathered together and decided to join the gang. Then they found Said and said, "His Royal Highness, please give us cover!"

Said sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, be careful and come back alive!"

After speaking, with a thought, a large number of puppet fleets rushed to the world engine, crashed into the arc light array, and was hit by the green arc. One shot broke the void shield, and the second shot exploded the hull.

The Primarch Jumping Fleet mixed among them, and under the cover of the puppet fleet "meat shields", they quickly approached the World Engine, and finally passed through the void shield and went straight to the surface.

Instead of slowing down, the surviving fleet accelerated and slammed into the ground, firing torpedoes and light spears while releasing the landing pods.

In the end, when the landing module landed on the ground, the remaining hundreds of warships slammed into the ground, turned into powerful bombs, and exploded.

At this moment, [-] Astartes walked out of the airdrop pod, quickly gathered in groups, and fought against the vast number of necromancer warriors and ghost structures.

Soon they were ordered by the Primarch to rush inward. Their task was to find and destroy the void shield generators in preparation for the fleet's focus.

Under the leadership of the original body, jumping to help the troops to block and kill gods, Buddhas to block and kill Buddhas, and quickly slaughtered the tide of underworld structures and undead warriors.

Guilliman and Leon swung their long swords, taking away several undead with each blow; Vulkan held a heavy hammer and smashed the pigs all the way, blasting out parts all over the place; Everywhere the remains of the dead are flying.

Behind them, the loyal heirs of the Legion wield a bolter in their left hand and a plasma melter in their right, covering the slaughter of their own Primarch Peerless.

Although the advancing speed was fast, it was still slow on the huge planet's surface. In a short period of time, the Imperial Army was unable to regain the right to control the universe, and the task of destroying the pyramid array fell to the ground troops.

At the same time, the war situation on the ground has become anxious.

After the second teleportation, a bunch of pyramids were set up again in the KaLS Plain, from which undead warriors and various ghost structures poured out continuously.

The defenders have already established an encirclement circle, mobilizing troops from various places to gather here, preparing to launch a wave of offensives that will destroy the pyramid array in one fell swoop.

Under the order of Rogdorn, a large number of auxiliary troops abandoned the enemy in front of them, and while resisting, they went to the Karl Industrial Plain to join the main force.

Soon, 30 million auxiliary troops and [-] billion Krieger puppets were assembled here, unified under the command of Marshal Wiener of the Death Corps.

The first wave of the Necromancer's offensive was mainly carried out around the hive. Those stationed outside the hive were less affected, but despite this, most of them suffered heavy losses in the first day of bombing.

The Army of Death is the only unit that has almost no losses. They are stationed in the abandoned industrial area, using superb civil engineering technology to turn the area into a fortress, and successfully survive the bombing.

Therefore, under the order of Rog Dorn, the peripheral troops of the hive capital were broken up and brought under the command of Marshal Wiener. Together with the human auxiliary army, there were 30 billion Krieger puppets.

Marshal Wiener looked at the Krieger puppet, who was dressed the same as his own troops, and couldn't help being stunned for a few seconds. From the puppet, he had a very familiar feeling.

It seems that Krieger's puppet and the Army of Death are the same unit. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Your Highness, all your troops are under my command, right?"

The puppet nodded and said: "Yes, Marshal Wiener, you can command them as you like. Life is the emperor's currency. You can die humblely, but it must have its value!"

Marshal Wiener gave the eagle salute and said solemnly: "I will definitely cherish it, Your Royal Highness!"

The puppet nodded: "The army of death is the same, no matter how humble human life is, it is still more precious than wood, so when you can reduce the cost, you must make a good balance!"

Marshal Wiener understood Said's meaning, that is, before the puppet dies, don't let the Kriegs die, save their lives, and create greater value.

However, Marshal Wiener firmly refused:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness, you don't know the Kriegers. Death is our glory and a way of redemption. Only death can make the Kriegers sublime!"

"You refuse to let us die, you are depriving us of our glory, let us live in the world with sin, and deprive us of the way to ascend!"

Said was speechless, and immediately said angrily: "Absurd, life is the emperor's currency, and any waste is an act of disloyalty!"

"You can use cheaper puppets to sacrifice, but you choose to use more expensive human lives. Marshal Weiner, you are not loyal!"

Wiener said firmly: "Your Highness, rest assured, Krieger will never shame the Lord of Humanity, and he will never waste his currency, but when to use it, Krieger will judge for himself!"

Said nodded: "I hope so, my request is that as long as the sacrifice that the puppet can replace, the Krieger cannot be used!"

After finishing speaking, he saluted the eagle firmly to Werner, and said calmly: "Now, I am under your command, Marshal Werner!"

At this moment, with the help of the puppet, Marshal Wiener finished reorganizing the [-] million auxiliary army, and then ordered an active attack, followed by the army of death, sweeping through the ruins of KaLS, collecting all available items along the way.

The surviving soldiers continued to join and were incorporated into the death army by Marshal Wiener, and those who left their posts without permission and violated the emperor's loyalty would be directly executed.

Looking down from the sky, the encirclement shrinks rapidly, and Night Scythe fighters are constantly trying to bomb them, but they are bitten and entangled by Valkyrie and Lightning fighters.

At this moment, only the ground troops can decide the outcome.

Soon, the Imperial Fists and Iron Hands of the two regiments joined, and under Rogal Dorn's order, they were unified under the command of Krieger.

A mortal commanding the Astartes is a feat unimaginable elsewhere, but Krieger, through his devotion to the Emperor and worship of death, holds the honor to himself.

However, this is already Rogal Dorn's greatest support to the Death Army. More Astartes and auxiliary troops are fighting fiercely in the Hive City to contain the more powerful space necrons.

Compared with the previous life, Amara at this time is extraordinarily tenacious. Based on the Necrons' weaknesses, the Imperial Army gave full play to its own advantages and used massive heavy artillery and tanks to crush the Necrons.

Necromancers also have similar equipment, which are more powerful and advanced, and can have a higher exchange ratio when fighting humans. However, once they enter a war of attrition, humans often laugh at the end.

Even if one giant pumice tower was exchanged for a thousand Leman Russes, the empire would still make a profit, because there were hundreds of millions of Leman Russes, and there were only a handful of giant pumice towers.

According to Rogdorn's thinking, the empire relied on its huge army and equipment to drag the undead into a war of attrition, and eventually consume the opponent.

For the mission of the Death Army, Rog Dorn actually didn't count on it, because the main force of the ground defenders was delayed in the hive battlefield, and the pyramid array was tightly defended.

With only 35 billion auxiliary troops and a small number of puppets, it is likely to fail.

However, at this time, the width of the hive capital's battle line has been exhausted, and if troops are deployed to join, it will affect the command. Simply placing it outside the city may create surprises.

Marshal Wiener didn't know Rogdorn's consideration, but he knew that the pyramid array was a high-value target, worth the lives of [-] million soldiers in exchange.

When the army of death entered the battle zone and collided head-on with the undead mechanical army of the Necrons, the Kriegers were proficient in positional warfare, turning every piece of ruins and every bomb crater in the ruins into a position.

But despite this, the 35 billion auxiliary army is still at a disadvantage. The laser guns in their hands cannot effectively block enemies that can repair themselves.

Only when the heavy artillery opened fire, blowing up the wreckage of the undead, the Kriegs quickly rushed out of the position, and used bayonets and engineering shovels to kill the wreckage a second time. .

However, at this time, a large number of puppets shouted waaagh and passed them, rushed to the Necrons first, pulled the bomb vests on their bodies, and annihilated together with the Necrons.

Although Krieger's skull mask couldn't see the expression, every time at this time, they could clearly feel that they were stunned for a while, as if they were greatly shocked.

The puppets wear the same clothes as them, but they are more heroic and less afraid of death than them. The puppets never use bayonets and sapper shovels. Whenever they fight hand-to-hand, they will pounce on you and then pull off the bomb vest.

It seems that in the eyes of the puppet, one life for another is a very cost-effective deal.

Life is the Emperor's currency, and if a Krieg's life is worthless, then a Krieg puppet is just silt everywhere, squandering it at will.

The chance of redemption was taken away, and some Kriegs were very angry, saying that the next wave of offensives would let them rush ahead and let them die.

But under the strict prohibition of Marshal Wiener, this self-destructive atmosphere was curbed. He said: "Life is the emperor's currency, and every Krieger's sacrifice must have its value!"

Now that there are Krieger puppets, the lives of Kriegers are more valuable, and they cannot die casually.

Facing the ground-washing firepower and the aggressive tactics of the infantry, the Necrons responded quickly, dispatching a large number of Tomb Stalkers and Destroyer Aircraft to attack the human heavy weapon positions from underground and in the air.

As soon as the Doom Scythe appeared, it was entangled by ten times the number of lightning fighters. The tomb hunter was captured by the seismic wave detector and encountered a self-destruct attack by Krieger engineer puppets.

During this period, many interstellar fighters also joined in the battle to defend the heavy fire positions, defeating the plots of the space necromancers time and time again.

Until the Titan Legion joined the battle, the seismic cannon shattered the Necron's offensive, and the Krieger puppet charged with a waaaagh.

The army of death followed behind silently, pressing towards the pyramid array together with the vast number of armored vehicles.

In the end, they stopped at a distance of one kilometer from the pyramid array, and as long as they crossed this kilometer, they could launch an attack on the pyramid itself.

However, this last distance is undoubtedly the death zone. This area has been swept and flattened. There are no usable bunkers, and the defenders can tilt their firepower at will.

The army of death and the puppets were not afraid. Under the command of Marshal Vinal, the puppets drove a large number of Leman Ruth tanks and warlord Titans to the pyramid array.

Behind the vehicle, the Krieger puppet jumped out of the trench, using the vehicle as a cover, and killed the pyramid array.

However, at the moment of entering the killing zone, countless destructive beams emerged from the pyramid front, which was as powerful as the Necromancer Battleship, harvesting lives at an astonishing speed.

Like the Imperial warships, the Titan's void shield didn't last more than a few seconds, the Colossus's body was easily blasted, and each arc flash could detonate a large number of Lemanus tanks.

After losing the cover of the vehicle, the Krieger puppet became a living target and was massacred in pieces. The dust decomposed by the Gauss weapon filled the surroundings, but it still couldn't stop the puppet's footsteps.

But they had already completed the mission excellently. The observers reported the firepower of the Necromancer to the rear artillery position. The next moment, thousands of cannons were fired, and the sky exploded and enveloped the firepower of the Necromancer.

The Krieger puppet, relieved of the pressure, continued to charge forward, and as they got closer to the complex, the Necron infantry and scarabs began to fight back.

There were so many of them that the necromancers and scarabs flooded the Krieger golems.

However, at this moment, Krieger's puppet is at the end of its strength, and its military strength has been severely consumed by the arc array. Of the 30 billion puppets, only [-] are still struggling to support them.

But their sacrifices brought a smooth path to attack. At this moment, Marshal Wiener said: "That's it, Your Royal Highness, leave the rest to our Death Army!"
