Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 263 Alpha Class
After experiencing war, virus, death and defense, many mortals crawling on the front line now have to face storms and cruel psychic powers. The torrential rain hits the green helmets of those poor people all the time, and even the largest raindrops can make mortals His head sank.

Their Emperor could not protect them, spells and sorcery sang, and the power of the Chaos Gods was unstoppable.

The power of thought rolled up the storm, gathered wind and energy, and with magic power, lightning surrounded it, which was enough to tear apart the strongest fortress, the astronomical fortress, which was at stake.

Many fortresses were uprooted, and even a full-stacked Chimera armored vehicle or Lemanus was overturned just by touching the edge of its extremely weak wind. As one of the biggest threats to the human empire, alpha-level psykers The power of the explosion even surpassed many heretic soldiers.

The torrential rain brought mud, until the metal ground that had been smashed by heavy equipment for the convenience of trench digging exposed the soil that had been enriched with heavy metals for hundreds of years, like the ghosts of the dead, holding down the bodies of Imperial Guard soldiers, chariots, and tanks. , engines or heavy machinery.

The car body hummed and roared, but the combustion engine couldn't pull its huge metal body out of the mud with its tracks. The thing that usually worked hard, now broke out with extraordinary tyranny under the rain of heresy.

The psionic storm continues to wreak havoc, and it has split the battlefield in two, letting its mighty winds thwart engines and the mud cripple mortals, while leaving hosts of daemons to deal with weary Space Marines.

But even so, Ed von Ka was still dissatisfied. Dozens of heavy weapon squads were providing support for the Chaos wizard, and 500 meters away in front of him was the wizard who was exerting all his strength.

He has been floating in the air due to powerful psychic static electricity, and he is three meters above the ground. Countless mortal troops staggered to provide him with enough physical cover, but the 500 meters around him is still a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to approach, so as not to be caught by the overflowing The power of his thoughts tore into pitiful pieces of flesh.

The wizard's pupils are completely blue now, and his pure white hair is not due to age, but the irreversible corruption of the subspace. His lavender robe is shaking in the windless, and the bones and crystals in his hand form a complex clock instrument. The focus object assists the use of witchcraft, and it also represents his extremely high status.

This pathetic guy pressed his head with his right hand, and the psychic energy carried the physical world into a strange light blue lightning, and that force lifted him off the ground. This is not what he likes, but the use of chaotic subspace energy must Bear the curse so that he cannot move, and is preoccupied with psionic use.

Although his psychic power can tear apart the battle line and reverse the situation, Ed von Ka doesn't like this situation, mainly because the storm can't completely change the situation of the battle. War postponed.

Secondly, because it was the first time he felt that his mortal body was so powerless, his family honor, bloodline and many other things could not affect the battle situation at all, but this old man with young hair could rely on his own spiritual energy storm to show off his might.

Why?Because he's a wizard?However, just looking at his psychic talent, he really surpassed Custer by a lot, but this guy's bad mental problems made his psychic power extremely lacking in control. This madman, who has been wanted by the imperial judge for more than ten years, can transform into himself and ride on his own in Engili. Is it above the family that has existed since the time of ancient Terra?

That kind of dissatisfaction made Ed von Ka vaguely look forward to the wizard's failure. Since the gods had already let the space warriors come, he had already failed. Compared to the fact that the wizard won the trust of many soldiers, he hoped to fail even more.

Anyway, he is in a high position and his family is powerful enough to protect him, and the only ones who suffer and are punished are the remaining school officials...

The orbital defense system of this world is firmly controlled by the rebels, and Ed von Ka has nothing to fear. They are now the kings who hold the seal of power and hold the world firmly, so for him It is said that the harshest thing is that the astropaths are not taught, and they are taught a little lesson.

Compared with the unity of the Aquila, Chaos is powerful but full of problems inside. Whether it is their mortal believers fighting for power or the constant contradictions of the four Chaos Gods, they vaguely maintain the terrible and sad peace of this universe.

And just like the weak and pathetic balance, the hope of this battlefield also lies in the balance that people have been neglecting. In the astronomical fortress, the chief astropath is leading the four prophets who are still alive and have undergone the emperor's psychic test. , They wore complicated golden silk robes and held various instruments, lamps, triangular instruments, and even emperor tarots, but basically they all had the meaning of guiding.

Even if their eye masks were burned by the emperor's light and turned into a pale and terrifying appearance, their essence is that they are the people who can see the farthest in this dark universe. They are not protected, but need time, a time to break the curse of chaos.

The Emperor looked at this place. Under the dark lumen ball, the aromatherapy was spewing out thick fog. The precious gems were pulverized by the servants, and then the chief star language slowly painted the entire gorgeous silver color on the ground in an unbiased position. The sun, the silver gem turned into a lifelike silver sun, also represents that the astropaths can make the greatest blessing to the current battle situation.

Star language chief chatter. "It's so heartbreaking to be tortured by evil spirits. We can't help with war artillery. The guidance and guidance have done their best. We should have resigned ourselves to fate, but the emperor guided us to break the law of confusion and let the heretics do their best!"

Although they are already blind and deaf, their spiritual powers help them to travel under the light and vastness that mortals cannot see. The God Emperor bestows on them countless treatment, honor, gift, loyalty, strong will, and soul beyond mortals. , Now those people who are chosen from one in a million miles gather their strength.

24 days ago, the biggest spell so far, and has the ability to ease the nightmare of the battle situation, they stood in a circle, around this star, complex prayers mixed with distance psionic energy, but different from warp chaos wizards, only bright and gentle , the light of the empire sprinkled on the ground, irradiated through the lens of the Xingyu Fortress, and hit the eye of the wind at this moment.

Under the extremely accurate prediction and the emperor's guidance, the lens shone light into the whirlwind, and the psionic ability collapsed as if encountering a natural enemy, revealing the terrifying eye of the psionic thought force, trying to defeat it.

The sudden change made the Legion of the Imperial Guard look up, the space fighters shouted, and the Emperor's Divine Light was like the legendary gun, piercing the nightmare of the Alpha-level psyker.

However, the range of the Chaos Wizard's 500-meter huge psionic energy load expanded again, and the huge static current suddenly engulfed a range of more than one kilometer nearby. The terrifying roar reverberated with chaotic psionic energy, roaring like a ghost.

The heavy guns exploded suddenly, and then the flesh and blood of mortals began to fester. When thousands of people discovered this incident, death had already come around. The disciples came to take their lives.

"Retreat, retreat!" Ed von Ka may have been bestowed by his family's blood as he said, and at such a critical moment, he happened to be on the verge of spiritual decay, so he escaped a catastrophe, but when he The soldiers around him suddenly exploded and died of severe burns. This sensitive general immediately asked to retreat.

Perhaps the soul of Castor's loyal servant really sheltered his master, and those psychic powers had not yet spread to hurt Ed von Carr, so that his mount, a scout tank, could exit the dangerous area extremely quickly , because even the engine of war will be steamed by psionic energy inside the crew!

But at this moment, the war lord hadn't felt his heart beating so fast for a long time. The mysterious and irresistible sense of oppression was like a natural divine punishment, which made him feel more threatened and feared than facing a space soldier.

"That bastard!" "Sniper!" He subconsciously wanted to take revenge, but he stopped suddenly. He couldn't bear the responsibility of killing the psyker. Open a warp rift, or channel a demon into reality.

"Damn it, as long as Custer is still there!" He had to miss his adjutant. In terms of psychic help and dealing with subspace issues, even a Chaos believer would have to be nervous, although he didn't have much affection for him, But I have to admit that an alpha-level wizard who is smart and mentally stable under the imperial standard is very rare.

All kinds of complicated situations gathered here, and the nature of human beings is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Soon, he spoke. "The whole army retreats!"

The losses of this war are already too great, they must rectify the situation, and there are still many places in this world that can extract a lot of resources, so there is no need to fight to the end for an astronomical fortress.

Comparing the benefits and losses, the rebel army began to retreat, but the Chaos Wizard who fell into the psychic backlash was not crazy. Instead, he was fighting against the astropaths relying on his own strong will. Passages approach the sheltered souls of the Astropaths.

Their spells this time are dangerous. The strength of the astronomical language is not the strength of psychic power, but stability and advance. If the astronomical language is backlashed by the psychic energy, the defense of the astronomical language fortress will also fail this time.

The psychic light made the muddy ground miraculously dry and cracked, and the Imperial Guards or Space Marines who crawled out of the struggle were all surprised to see how the strong light in the sky restrained the storm.

When almost everyone believed that the astropaths of the empire were victorious, a hasty communication came from the radio of the imperial guards. It was a woman with a hurried voice. She called herself the astropath's attendant and emphasized this psychic confrontation. The astropaths have actually fallen into a disadvantage.

The commander of the Imperial Loander 154th Infantry Regiment cursed. "Where is the heresy, how did it invade our radio station! The Emperor is on!"

Even Captain Jeske thought it was an enemy's conspiracy and nonsense, but only the Master Chief stared at the illusory confrontation in the sky for a long time.

His injured arm had the outer shell of the power armor temporarily removed, and instead it was wrapped in a cold medical compress, which injected hypertrophic nutrients and muscle stimulants into the arm to aid recovery.

Ignoring the sting of discomfort, the Master Chief took off his helmet and shouted to the radio crew. "I don't understand those witchcraft, but I can feel that the astropaths are really not optimistic."

Space Marines are not as religious as most servants of the Imperium, and often do not worship the Emperor as a god, or pray to him directly.

Yet they still have a deeply spiritual being in some ways, honoring their Primarch and Emperor, and drawing strength from their example.

In the questioning tone of many soldiers, the Master Chief asked himself in his heart, if the Emperor or the Primarch fell into difficulties like him, how would he deal with this dark universe.

He took a long breath. "My brother, this universe is full of intrigue, I know it well, I have even tasted it several times, but I fear nothing, even if the god of intrigue should show his power before me, it would be nothing but filth Vile witchcraft."

"Remember, we are the Emperor's people, remember, to die is life, remember, the eagle spreads its wings, remember, for the Emperor, for the Emperor!"

"I will not let go of hope, we will not let go of victory, and if the Astropaths are really in danger, then our stand-by is to give up victory while betraying the Chapter's creed."

"Therefore, I will lead the team again, bring the honor of the emperor, and give this world a real light. Brothers, I have been seriously injured, but I understand that victory and hope are not in retreat, but in attack."

Captain Jesk shouted "I don't agree, my lord! You will die, the enemy surrounds our camp, thousands, countless enemies, victory may not be there, but death must be there, my angel Ah, don't go there!"

"You are giving up our sacrifices and efforts. I don't hate your choice, nor do I think there is a problem with the warband culture. You can kill me, a mortal, with one punch, but..."

"For you, we paid half of the remaining hundreds of brothers, several Lemanus, countless Chimera armored vehicles, and put the things that have been preserved until now, my lord, I hope you think twice..."

The Master Chief looked at that mortal who was now "talking wildly" questioning his own judgment, but he couldn't get angry, and he also understood that this man had put death aside, and the only thing in his eyes now was whether this world invaded by heresy could comfort him through the disaster …

He is a great man, just like his behavior, loyal and strong, but now, almost crying for his brothers?
But things cannot be changed. The Master Chief is still firm and has a long-term vision. He is not the only one who puts death aside, so he only explained it to him. "As you said, there is only one thing I do now, and that is to lead you to victory!"

"Believe me, just like you rushed into this hell and gave everything, I also have the task given to me by the emperor."

The captain didn't speak anymore, but crossed his arms across his chest, compared to the imperial sky eagle, and acquiesced in the eagle's choice...
