Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 78 Stalemate, Black Heart King launched orbital bombing, the end of Skadi's Fourth Infantry Regiment...

What is fear and what is morale? For space warriors, those things do not need to be considered, but now they have become a fatal problem. Their courage has disappeared under the haze of the dense forest. The Vietnam War PDTS, the ancient Terrans called it The current state of the Chaos Space Marines.

The mortals of the [-]th Skadi infantry were destined to keep Chaos out of the dense forest for the rest of their lives, so that they could not leave their camps. When any cubic meter outside the walls was full of danger, even for space marines, The nature of the matter has also changed.

They only have less than 100 people, while the Star Militia Army has tens of thousands of people. Even if the group can kill hundreds of forest warriors at a time, as long as one brother dies, it is a loss of the war, and they can't consume it.

Today's powerful interstellar warriors are actually surrounded by mortals, unable to move. When the interstellar warriors were empowered by the god emperor, they probably never suffered such humiliation.

Supermen realize how close death is to them. If they are loyal space fighters, they can still muster courage, but chaotic space fighters are only greedy for power and fun. The flames of resistance only need the volley of veterans in the dark to dissipate in an instant.

But is victory close to the Astra Militarum?Without long-range artillery strikes, orbital superiority, and the assistance of the Imperial Navy, the loyal [-]th Skadi Infantry Regiment could not advance and destroy the enemy.

Huge losses couldn't kill those Chaos traitors. Even though the veterans were desperate for victory and the death of the traitors, Alan Bayer never dared to use the emperor's currency to gamble on a victory.

If the Black Heart King didn't dare to deploy troops in this world anymore, and let his already stretched remnants be wiped out in this world, he should not send any more soldiers. Now there are only two choices for the Black Heart King...

retreat and bomb

Alan Bayer wanted it, and Black Heart King wanted it too. On the disgusting traitor battleship that destroyed the Ghost, the tyrant's claws were trembling. He felt his brother die, and their souls set off waves in the subspace.

The mortals here exceed his expectations time and time again, is it because of the will of the forest or this world that is helping them, or the so-called God Emperor?

Huron couldn't understand where the strength of the imperial guards came from, but his rich tactical experience told him that if he wanted to occupy this world, he should die.

"How is the status of the light spear and Hongpao?"

Valtex, the dimensional blacksmith, respectfully answered his master. "Fire anywhere, anytime, my lord."

The Black Heart King thought about what he saw from the auspicious and optical detectors, the continuous, graceful forest, the environment here is very similar to Terra, almost the same, but the weird magnetic field and the density of the forest make This world has become bad, this is one of the few gems in the galaxy, he doesn't want to scar it with a chisel, but the will of this world is against him all the time.

Can she feel malice or treat all life equally?Huron wasn't sure, but spears and cannons were enough to burn the continents of this world to ashes. "Overload the void shield, withstand the enemy's anti-orbital bombing, and enter low-Earth orbit."

Valtex answered without hesitation. "Yes, my lord."

Huron continued. "Activate the remaining two RAND Raiders, deploy them by airdrop from the vehicle according to the target, contact the ground troops, and carry out the clean-up operation after the bombing is over."

"Gods of the subspace, this world will definitely be ours..."

The body of the Destroyer Ghost gradually descends. The huge hull made of adamantium alloy and ceramic steel and adamantine can even be seen with the naked eye from the ground. The army knew nothing.

Vigorous cannon fire set off a 30-meter-high smoke, and the light spear directly carbonized a kilometer into crystals, and this kind of attack was like raindrops falling, rampaging in the forest. Alan Bayer felt that the hot wind paved the surface, that is this Howling of the world?

They kept the magnetic field stable for the purpose of orbital bombing, and also allowed Alan Bayer to contact Karu City, which was tens of kilometers away.

He ordered to Karoo City.

"In the name of Lieutenant Colonel of the [-]th Infantry Regiment of Cadiz, Minister of Justice of Gundwa VI, and Chief of Staff of PDF, I order all PDFs in Karoo City!"

"Get the TM anti-orbital light spear ready! God Emperor, those traitors, can't afford it!"

A fierce counterattack erupted in the center of Karoo City, and the Bordello, which was barely able to fire over the star port, also sprayed flames, and the firepower hit the void shield, causing shocking waves.

The Black Heart King felt a violent tremor, and he yelled. "Ground troops, rely on the ground cleared by the light spear to move forward and clean up the enemy!"

The spear turned the forest within mortal range into a crystalline plain, and like a sharp knife cut through the emerald green skin of Gundvar VI, revealing the wound below, a wound like white quartz.

The Chaos Space Marines are orderly, relying on the Rand Raider, the crawler armored vehicle that crawls on the ground has armor that is almost impossible to break through, two joint-mounted deflagration ray cannons, multi-tube fusion as the main gun, powerful fire At the same time, it can also be used as a cover to adapt to the terrible surface environment of many worlds. The scarlet paint and the symbol of the red pirate, the head and flesh of mortals, make this unfaithful thing extra disgusting.

The two Rands were apparently modified Chaos Space Marine variants for ground aggression and anti-infantry suppression, shaped from birth to slaughter their fellow man, and the disgusting rebel machine spirit stomped the ground with a terrible roar.

Vengar was very satisfied with these two terrifying things, and now they dissipated the forests that hindered their progress. The spears of light shone on the ground, and the cannons opened the way for them. The flames of war burned the world, and countless creatures died.

The hot wind and humidity turned into the smell of charcoal, the green forest turned into scorched earth, the roar of the Land Marauder's engine made people tremble even more, and the star military's eyeliner in the forest only left a sentence in the radio.

"Two traitor vehicles!" Then they dissipated under the humanizing light spears, and their souls returned to the throne.

retreat?How to retreat?Could your human legs run past a light spear?

counterattack?How to counterattack, the void shield of that chaotic battleship can last for an unknown period of time, but this forest can be burned to nothing in just a few minutes.

But it was a glorious defeat for the Skadi [-]th Infantry Regiment to allow the notorious Red Pirates to play such a tactic.

When the scorching light spears swept across the land, and the Chaos Space Marines stepped across the territory that once belonged to the Fourth Skadi Infantry Regiment, Alan Bayer was completely helpless.

He sat on the ground, watching the divine punishment-like beam of light gradually approaching, heroic, beautiful, and indescribably beautiful in death. People have spent 4 years just to make such a thing and use it to kill other people .

From the primitive man who picked up the first polished rock in the Stone Age, to bronze, iron, flintlock, musket, automatic gun, iron, gold, lead bullet, black powder, to today's promethium, pottery steel, Unimolecules, Destruction Stands and Light Lances.

People have changed and have not changed, Alan Baier sighed in his heart, but he is still the commander of the fourth infantry regiment of Skadi, and he is still a soldier of the emperor. He stood up and faced the loyalists.

"We lost, but we did not lose to the traitors, but to this dark universe, although this world is helping us, the God Emperor is helping us, Kalu City and hundreds of millions of people of the empire are helping us. "

"But in this goddamn world, this endless void is full of enemies of the empire. After leaving the orcs, come the traitors. After the traitors, what else is there, the Eldar pirates? Or the Tau merchants?"

"I have to admit that we can't win all the victories. Everything is impermanent. The Emperor's protection has allowed us to come to this day. It's just that this beautiful world is now handed over to the Chaos traitors who can't cherish her at all. I feel uncomfortable."

"If my arm touches the battleship in the void, even if my guns are useless, I will fire without hesitation. If my death can be exchanged for the death of the enemies of the empire."

"But we have not completely failed. Karoo City is not without defensive power. Even if there is no fourth regiment of Skadi in this world, there will be fifth regiment, 72nd regiment, and 237th regiment. Countless sons of the emperor will drive away this world." group of things."

"Then everyone, open your backpacks. You don't need to keep those supplies. The light spears will be burned in a few minutes. Remember to eat quickly."

"Brothers, veterans, do you remember to leave a letter to your family, remember to tell them how to distribute the inheritance, don't let them starve, and hope that the emperor can let the Ministry of Government Affairs truthfully distribute the rations to the children of the martyrs."

"By the way, I don't want you to be a war couple. The Faithful Academy is actually not a good place to go. The staff can be used as a reference."

Alan Bayer sat on the few remaining Chimera armored vehicles of the fourth regiment. After all, the ground was full of dead branches and rotten leaves, only here was clean.

The staff officer sat down next to Alan Bair and nodded to the soldiers. "I admit it, that place sucks."

John Dern followed, waved his hand, and said dissatisfied. "Ah, Boss, it's really uncomfortable to lose like this. I'd rather be shot by the orcs, and this can is really bad if it's not heated."

Alan Baier cursed. "It's good to have meat, so complain, I usually don't talk so much when I see you eating starch!"

John Dern replied. "Boss, I can't help but think this is the last meal..."

The second lieutenant listened and complained. "So what, I probably won't live to be 25 in the hive, but I'm 26 this year, ha, I still have meat to eat, I earned it, Lord Governor of the planet, forgive me for being unreasonable, you got too much, let it go No more!"

John Dern nodded. "Yeah, my wife, my world, my factory, my achievements, and all the good and bad things left."

The staff also said. "My Terra travel, Valhalla merchants, and Kane's staff have to stop..."

"Emperor, I shouldn't have written a retirement application..."

Alan Baier suddenly asked everyone. "Hey, how long have we been dragging these bastards here?"

John Dern replied. "According to my memory, half a year? It means two months or one month after the lieutenant general leaves."

Alan Baier said again. "How many traitors have we killed?"

The staff officer replied. "124 people, not counting those loyal former servants, space fighters, 124 people, enough for each of our officers to get a Star of Terra badge."

"Haha, I couldn't ask for it before, but now, I'm being soft!"

Alan asked again. "How many brothers we left."

The lieutenant replied. "2 people, to be precise, 4000 people, basically recruits, and my colleagues in Skadi PDF, although we are not residents of a hive city."

"Less than half a year, two-thirds left, I think so I'm pretty lucky!"

Ellen Byer speaks again. "Then did we lose?"

The three answered in unison. "Losing your MB, for the emperor!" They raised the military jug in their hands, but it was full of wine, and took a sip.

It was as if they were not sitting on a chimera, next to a violent spear bombardment, but in a tavern in the hive, and a group of officers complained about the dire situation.

But if they are also considered to be in a bad situation, then the empire probably has no real troops.

The light spears gradually approached, but the fourth regiment seemed to be having a reception. They always regarded death as home, but they couldn't change with the enemy, which made the soldiers feel unhappy.

If there is any possibility, they will make those Chaos traitors tremble with fear!
At the last moment when the light came, the loyalists of the empire raised their glasses and sang the emperor's hymn. "If my heart has crossed the netherworld, my soul will return to the void. You are kind and beautiful. You illuminate the world, thousands of empires, and hundreds of millions of human souls."

"May the light stay forever, may the throne never die, and may the evil be shattered. If you wake up one day, the traitor will die in shame, the demons and gods will be terrified, and the loyal will be forever!"

"For, the Emperor! For the Empire!"

Under the light, the last chanting ends, Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment, the soul returns to the throne...

?
At the last second, the intense artillery bombardment pierced through and destroyed the void shield of the Ghost, and several void torpedoes smashed into the weapon system of the chaotic battleship, almost smashing the battleship in low earth orbit into the gravity of the planet.

cried the Black Heart King. "Climb at full speed!"

then ask. "Who attacked?!"

Dimensional Blacksmith Valtax shouted. "My lord, two Cobra-class imperial destroyers hit our ship's weapon with torpedoes, and the right light spear array facing the ground was completely paralyzed!"

The Black Heart King slapped the blacksmith away and turned on the auspicious instrument to detect it himself. He looked at the data on the screen.

"Imperial Moon-class strike cruiser, two destroyers...Why did the Imperial Navy find us?"

"Notify the ground troops, retreat, destroy the Ghost and start the subspace engine, and wait for the ground troops to return, we will force an emergency subspace jump!"

The dimensional blacksmith said inconceivably. "My lord, even we cannot stabilize in the chaotic flow of the subspace. If we are unlucky, what awaits us is death in the subspace! Or get lost in it endlessly!"

The Black Heart King pinched the throat of the Dimensional Blacksmith, which was making an annoying sound. "hurry up!"

On the ground, Vingar watched the transport ship fall and cursed inwardly, because he no longer dared to face the [-]th Skadi Infantry Regiment. Even if he had no honor, he still hoped to kill that unit in this operation !
And when all the space warrior brothers boarded the transport ship, Vengar looked at this emerald green land, and he secretly vowed that one day, he would get the honor he lost on mortals.

But now the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment looked at each other, the veterans looked at the recruits, the recruits looked at the officer, and the officer Alan Baier was holding the radio and cursing.

"I R you! Why did you come to support?"

The lieutenant general scolded back on the radio on the battleship. He had already learned about the great actions of the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment through communications with Karoo City, such as beating the notorious Red Pirates to the brim.

he cursed. "I'm your boss, wait! Wait for me to go down and apply for a Star of Terra badge for each of your officers. You are too outrageous!"

　I really want to eat fried chicken (meaningless murmuring)
　　Ah Commissar, I am not expressing any views, I am serving, my lord!

　　>Remember: only heretics have doubts
