Warhammer 40 A New Hope

The heavy shield knocked away the mechanical arms that tried to grab them, and the power axe chopped hard on the connection of the left arm of the mecha, followed by another axe!

The Chaos Dwarf Mech's left arm with a machine gun was chopped off, but the right arm that could spray red and black flames grabbed the two dwarves.

Buzz--click!

With a buzzing sound, the Salamander Space Marine holding the chainsword grasped the hilt with both hands and inserted the high-speed rotating chainsword into the connection of the enemy mecha's right arm, preventing it from moving further.

Then, the two dwarves holding melee weapons took out two melta grenades from their waists and stuffed them into the broken hole of the mecha.

"keep away!"

Following the dwarfs' characteristically loud warning voice, the two dwarves and the Space Marine moved away as quickly as possible, and a few seconds later the flames of the explosion rose.

"Haha! I'll definitely invite you to drink later, big human." A dwarf holding a shield axe said to the [Salamander] Space Marine beside him. "That fallen guy must have turned to ashes."

"...No!" said the Space Marine. "He's still alive!"

"what?!"

The smoke and dust stirred up by the explosion dispersed at this time, and a layer of red energy shield appeared on the surface of the Chaos Dwarf Mech, and disappeared the next moment.

[Which technology do you think is unique?] The Chaos Dwarf inside the mech said, [Our great new master has already cracked it and shared it with us! Everyone!]

Squeak--boom!

The fallen Chaos Dwarf Mech stood up, picked up its left arm that had fallen on the ground, and directly connected it to the broken part of its left arm.

The pitch-black metal began to move as if it had life, connecting the severed left arm.

[I've changed my mind. I'm going to throw all of you into the furnace. I'm going to trap your souls in a metal demon forever. I'm going to torture you forever!]

【I want you to know that those who anger me...】

boom--!

A dull bombardment interrupted the Chaos Dwarf's stumbling inside the mecha, and the driving seat of the black mecha was pierced.

"It's done, bro, but my heavy beam cannon is overheating, 200% output power," said the dwarf wearing heavy power armor. "These depraved bastards seem to talk more after they came out."

"I think they always talk a lot of nonsense."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

A storm of black and red flames moved across the battlefield, sweeping up mortal soldiers one by one and turning them into charred bones amid their wails.

The Chaos Dwarf wizards in power armor laughed wildly and cast spells, turning the loyal warriors of the Empire into ashes.

The blasphemous machines stuffed with demon souls roared on the battlefield, spewing the fire and metal of death.

The huge and violent metal demon swung its fist, ripping the Leman Rust tank's turret off the vehicle's hull, and then used it as a weapon to crush the little man who attacked it.

An Emperor's Bane Blade super-heavy tank fired at the violent demon. The powerful shells shattered the opponent's black metal armor, and blood as hot as lava flowed out of it.

The evil metal demon, which was hit so hard, roared in the direction of the tank, and then rushed towards it despite the attack.

boom--!

A heavy artillery shell hit the metal demon's head, but the inertia of its high-speed movement caused it to slide in front of the Emperor's Poison Blade Tank, and the hot magma flowing out of the wound swallowed it whole.

The crew members wailed and tried to get out of the red-hot tank, but the only result was that they were ignited by the high temperature and turned into ashes.

Another metal demon appeared on the battlefield.

"Our plan is very successful, and we will get countless slaves!" Astorgos Ironhand, the initiator of this operation, said while sitting in his power armor, looking at the battlefield that was turning in their favor with satisfaction. "We will quickly defeat their defenses, plunder enough slaves, and then leave here before more people come, so that they can't catch anything."

"And those slaves will create more combat power for us and safeguard the plans of our new master!"

In response to his words, a burly giant stood quietly beside him without responding.

"How about trying out your new armor, my ally..."

"Perturabo"

371. The Blacksmith and the Plague (V)

Chaos Dwarves and Iron Warriors invade Forge Star, 6 hours later

At this time, the light of the stars had gradually illuminated the battlefield, and the smoke and smell of blood filled almost the entire battlefield.

The human empire, as the defending force, has basically reacted to the sudden attack. The precious dwarf craftsmen have all been transferred, and the troops from other places have all been transferred to this battlefield.

As of now, the invasion of the Chaos Dwarves and the Iron Warriors did not achieve the results they expected. Their intention to attack the Dwarf Forge was discovered early, which also caused the defenders to react quickly.

The large number of metal demons forged by the Chaos Dwarves and the brand-new equipped [Iron Warriors] Space Marines did put the Human Empire, as the defending party, in an extremely passive situation during the first contact between the two sides.

But after overcoming the initial disadvantage of being ambushed, the guards on the Forge Star almost equalized the disadvantage in a very short time and gradually began to gain the upper hand.

The first batch of imperial fleets as support has arrived, forming a two-sided siege on the enemy fleet in orbit around the planet.

At the same time, a large number of heavy equipment and vehicles on the ground battlefield also began to confront the Chaos side's metal demon army.

As a precious resource for the entire empire, a large number of troops are stationed on Forge. At the same time, a large part of the technology from other worlds is also gathered on this planet. If it weren't for the bad relationship with the dwarves, a large number of Mechanicus would be eager to live here.

The huge dragon-shaped metal demon in the sky was being chased by at least two formations of fighter jets. On the ground, the huge and violent metal demon often had to face the siege of several vehicles.

The armor forged with souls and blood is indeed far superior to most of the Empire's vehicles, but in terms of quantity, they are still too few - not to mention that these weapons, equipment and vehicles are often supported by the technological power of dwarves and other worlds.

Rumble——!

The earth was shaking, and a huge excavator originally used for mining minerals and tunneling appeared on the battlefield, and then the power of the dwarf runes spread.

"Taste this, Fallen!"

The power of the dwarven runes further enhanced the strength of the Empire's various weapons and equipment, and the huge mineral mining vehicle was like an insurmountable high wall, reaping the lives of the enemies.

Squeak--boom!

A thick and hot beam burst out from the head of the excavator, instantly engulfing a large, rampaging metal demon and melting it, while turrets located elsewhere on the excavator also began to vent fire on other enemies.

The Empire's troops began to surround the huge excavator and deal a heavy blow to the invading enemy. Just when the situation was shifting in favor of the Empire, a dwarf scout brought bad news.

A powerful local Space Marine Primarch was leading a commando team towards them.

. . . . . .

Like a bull, the pitch-black metal demon rushed all the way. Its huge size and speed were so great that even a group of Leman Russ tanks could not stop it, and the Emperor's Baneblade super-heavy tanks would be overturned by it.

On the back of this gigantic metal demon, the rebel primarch Perturabo was sitting, leading his descendants to break through the Empire's defenses and kill their way towards the giant dwarf excavator.

Perturabo and the group of Iron Warriors Space Marines he led had their power armor reinforced by the Hybrid Dwarves. Some of the Space Marines even had a demon stuffed into their power armor, making it even stronger and more deadly.

Some of the weapons in their hands were also like this, with the amplification of demonic power. Coupled with the unique craftsmanship of the Chaos Dwarves, these profane weapons caused huge damage to the Imperial defenders.

The enemy's unstoppable attack was naturally seen by the current leader of the dwarves on Forge, the White Dwarf Grombrindel. As the most mysterious legendary figure on the ancient planet and the one who had saved the dwarves from danger many times, he was very angry about the invasion from the Chaos Dwarves and the Iron Warriors Space Marines.

"Take my axe! Today I want to see how capable this so-called Primarch of the Ascended Demon Gene is!"

The dwarf troops behind them cheered and applauded - although the messengers of the Human Empire have been hoping that they can stay away from the battlefield, but... do you think the dwarves will really listen?

"Sir, I can't do this..."

An elite mortal soldier wearing power armor nearby tried to dissuade a group of dwarves, led by the White Dwarf, who were both elite warriors and craftsmen, from going to the battlefield, but it was obvious that the angry dwarves did not want to pay attention to him.

"If Vulkan or Leman Russ or Guilliman question you about this, tell them my words: 'I'm sorry for smashing his brother's head!'"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Bang bang bang!

Tank shells exploded one after another on the giant, bull-like metal demon, but the thick armor covering its body made it difficult for these attacks to have a good effect.

On the other hand, this huge metal demon kept moving forward as if it was tireless, rushing straight towards the huge dwarf excavator.

Zhi--Bius!

A beam cannon fired out and directly hit the rampaging metal demon. The thick black armor was melted, but it failed to stop it.

A huge shell fired from the excavator hit it, sending black metal fragments flying everywhere and slowing it down.

Finally, with a huge roar, the metal demon that had torn a hole in the Empire's defense line was knocked down, and liquid as hot as magma flowed out from its interior.

However, it had accomplished its mission - it allowed the Iron Warriors' Space Marines to get close enough to the Dwarf troops and the mineral mining vehicle.

At this moment, Perturabo jumped off the fallen metal demon. Behind him, a large group of Chaos believers who followed the metal demon were further expanding the results of the battle.

In the sky, several fighter planes of the Human Empire fell from the air along with a huge dragon-shaped metal demon. The sound of gunfire and various war cries filled the entire battlefield.

"Hey! That big guy!" The powerful voice made Perturabo turn his head. "I heard they call you 'little princess'?"

Grombrindel, a white dwarf wearing power armor, and a group of elite dwarf soldiers appeared not far away. Among them, Grombrindel held his battle axe and walked directly to Perturabo.

"My damn new brother is a bad talker, isn't he?" Perturabo said, looking down at the White Dwarf who was walking in front of him. "Next time, I will make him shut up forever..."

"As for you? Aliens, although I promised your relatives that I would keep you alive and make you slaves, I changed my mind!"

Without further ado, the lightning claws flashing with black electricity stabbed towards the white dwarf.

DUANG－－!

But the next moment, in Perturabo's somewhat incredulous eyes, the white dwarf swung his rune axe, knocking away the lightning claw that was grabbing him, and at the same time a crack appeared on his palm.

"You changed your mind? I changed my mind!" Grombrindell, the White Dwarf, shouted angrily at the tall man in front of him. "Look at what you have done! You and those corrupted ones have caused so much destruction! You naughty boy!"

"You must repair all the damage! You must personally repair every brick and tile you have broken!"

"This incident will be recorded in the Dwarf's Book of Hatred! We will remember it for thousands of years! Until you pay off all your 'debts'!"

Looking at the short alien in front of him who was furious and chattering nonstop, Perturabo suddenly felt like he was caught doing something bad by his own parents.

"We dwarves will remember every bit of hatred and kindness! No matter who it is with!"

372. The Blacksmith and the Plague (VI)

Forge Star, rear

The dwarven residential area is separated from the outside by a huge, heavy metal gate covered with various dwarven runes. It is no exaggeration to say that even if a big demon came, there would be nothing he could do except to crash into this metal gate and die.

Dwarf craftsmen who were not good at fighting, newly born dwarves and precious female dwarves all took refuge here. At the same time, some Space Marines from the Salamanders Regiment were also stationed here.

A white portal appeared here at this time, and then Vulkan and Dorn walked out of the portal with their troops.

"Report the current situation!" Vulkan said loudly to his offspring.

"We have basically stopped the traitors' advance, but they have not left and are still trying to attack the central area."

"In addition, the White Dwarfs are fighting the traitorous Primarch, Perturabo, and there are also a large number of Dwarf troops with them." The Space Marine said. "We were unable to stop them."

"It would be strange if you could stop him." Vulkan said. "Where are the others?"

"Before the full-scale invasion, we had already transferred all the important personnel who were not good at fighting here. We haven't counted the number yet, but there should be no losses."

"I will have my descendants take a count of all the important personnel," Dorn said. "Now, we need to ensure the safety of the dwarves who are still fighting outside."

After saying that, Dorn shouted towards the portal they came from, "Take us to Perturabo."

"Are you sure you want me to open the door from the safe zone to where the fighting might be the most intense? Aren't you afraid something will come in? And then the safe zone will become a war zone?"

"Can't you choose a relatively safe place to take us there?"

"I can only target Perturabo and open the portal now. Without a specific location image, I'm not sure where I will open the portal." Zhang Yi said on the other side of the door. "It is very likely to open it directly to his face."

"...drive it into Perturabo's face..." Dorn fell into deep thought after hearing Zhang Yi's words. "Actually, it's not impossible..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

DUANG－－!

The power hammer in Perturabo's hand was knocked away again. The alien race called dwarves in front of him, who were only knee-high even in power armor, showed strong fighting power.

"Come on, little princess, you can't do this?" Grombrindell, the White Dwarf, taunted Perturabo, who was at a disadvantage. "You are so far behind your brother!"

Listening to the mockery of the short alien in front of him, Perturabo was extremely annoyed, but he had no good solution - because the opponent was too tough.

Not only this dwarf who could fight him on equal terms and even suppress him, but also the other dwarf warriors who appeared with this dwarf.

The [Iron Warriors] Chapter excels at siege warfare. They like to use heavy firepower to cover the enemy and drown the enemy in a sky full of artillery bombardment.

But this time they encountered an opponent. These dwarves formed a formation with huge shields, like a mountain, taking all their firepower and then steadily attacking them.

What does it feel like to have a mountain coming towards you? Today, these Iron Warriors Space Marines felt this - unmovable!

The multi-layered power armor forged from the finest metals, with the blessing of three different dwarven runes and the protection of at least three layers of energy shields. Finally, these dwarves have at least a hundred years of combat experience, and some dwarves even have a thousand years of combat experience - some Astartes do not have as much combat experience as them!

Although the dwarves had been using various cold weapons to deal with the enemy not long ago, and the firearms they used were also very primitive, even so, the attack of the [Iron Warriors] suffered a "Waterloo".
