Warhammer 40k: Shattered Steel Soul

Chapter 349 Iron Warrior·Four Seasons·Part Three

The alarm sounded in the communication array, and it came at just the right time. After more than ten seconds for the Iron Warriors to escape, a series of green lights flashed in the dark sky, leaving marks like a tunnel that interferes with time and space, and will envelope the world. Mortar shells in the green fog were sent towards the trenches where they were hiding.

Within a thousand meters, a huge explosion roared across the earth, fiery air waves blew over the iron helmets of the soldiers, and broken stones knocked on the grid of the face armor. The Iron Warriors did not waver. Only when the instrument showed that When the entropy field data changes, or green evil light leaks from the falling gas bombs, they begin to shift the position of long-range attacks based on the signals from the chain of command.

"It's this kind of ammunition again." Sergeant Zoran whispered, "What on earth is this?"

"Don't worry," Dantioch said. Even through his helmet, the soldier could imagine the stern lines of the battalion commander's short-stubbled chin moving as he spoke the command, "Do your job."

Sergeant Zoran nailed the four sharp claw-shaped brackets of the detector into the rock formation, and then adjusted the tightness of each screw according to the geological conditions.

The artillery fire in the distance continued, and the team carrying heavy firepower was covering in front. They were not sure whether the enemy's missiles that flew into the clouds and then fell were aimed at them. In the past six months of fighting, they had realized that The Rudd don't seem to have a full grasp of the powers at their disposal.

Of course, this does not mean that their alien dark technology cannot be used to destroy armies, and the Iron Warriors are ordered to preserve as much of their own strength as possible before launching an attack.

This was just one of the countless battles in the Great Crusade. They could not give the Primarch the trouble of rebuilding the Legion after the war was over.

Dantioch tilted his head slightly, which meant that he had received a new instruction. Zoran could see the hidden meaning of the battalion commander's actions at a glance.

"I have good news for you, Zoran."

"What?"

"Wait until you get the instrument ready." Dantioch pretended, which proved that what he was about to say was absolutely good news.

Zoran raised his eyebrows in the helmet, quickened the movements of his hands, pressed down the throttle, and concentrated on adjusting the parameters on the instrument.

This instrument is used to collect the stasis force field parameters required to resist the Hrud entropy field.

Experiments carried out with the cooperation of the Mechanicus have proved that the idea of ​​​​the Primarch Perturabo is successful. They have indeed found a method to statically resist the entropy field. However, once it is applied to a complex and changeable dynamic battlefield environment, a small If the preset parameters are wrong, the entire fortress can be sent to the sky together. They must control all data in real time.

If Perturabo indeed intends to completely destroy everything in the Satradar Abyss, and the Primarch is able to obtain enough funds from the Terran Ministry of Interior, then throwing stasis fields all over the ground will indeed be an effective means.

"I'm almost done..." Zoran said. Before he finished speaking, their position in the distance began to make terrifying and irregular noises. It was hard to tell what kind of big thing the Hrud people were brewing there.

Dantioch paid attention to the disturbances in the war zone. When the ground under their feet began to undergo strange fluctuations, and a subtle dark green light suddenly jumped out from the broken stone slabs, Dantioch picked up Zoran and pulled him with him. The sergeant ran away and dodged as something resembling an excavator or crusher emerged from the underground tunnel, causing Hrud's surprise charge to fail.

Zoran reacted quickly, loaded the explosive bomb, and fired while retreating, trying his best to stay away from the scope of the entropy field. The few soldiers who were left on defense immediately gathered together, pointing their guns at the changes here, and analyzing the things in the eyepiece image.

Whether observed with the naked eye or thermal imaging, the Hrud do not look like a static creature. The distorted time turns them into a black shadow or a pile of overclocked leaping atoms. Fortunately, this will not interfere with the heavy machine gun. of aiming.

"The temporary fortification has been dug through again," Zoran shouted, annoyed that his equipment debugging had failed and was interrupted. "Where did they come from?"

Although the fleet's foundry is operating at full speed, each newly produced entropy energy monitoring equipment is still precious, and limited energy cannot withstand empty consumption.

"Underground," Dantioch said, as a spinning ammunition quickly passed one meter above his head and fell to the rear. "That's why we need a heavy infantry force that doesn't rely on fortifications to fight."

"But we didn't," Zoran said, stepping up his attack, weaving a network of firepower in unison with the other Iron Warriors.

Their location is located in an area with obvious terrain undulations, which is a natural hindrance to this batch of enemy missiles with serious height control problems. When the opponent is forced to reduce the flight speed of the missiles due to hit rate, these missiles can break through the defense line. capabilities are also diminished.

Their Primarch has always told them that the battlefield is another kind of forge, and at least half of the elements inside the battlefield must be under the complete control of the forger.

"I was about to tell you, we'll have it soon," Dantioch said calmly, calibrating the artillery's missile interception system and calling for air support. He knew that there was an aircraft formation on standby nearby, with sufficient ammunition and a new air command and early warning aircraft, which was very suitable for the combat environment here.

"Support?" The Space Marine thought for a moment and guessed a possibility.

A feeling of guilt towards the Gene Father suddenly arose in his heart. Everyone knew that Perturabo didn't mind cooperating with most legions to fight, but the Lord of Steel also particularly disliked asking for help. He believed that asking for help in the midfield was an interference with the army's internal chain of command and would cause him to lose part of his control over the entire battlefield.

But now, Perturabo has sent out a signal to ask for help from other legions. It is undoubtedly because of their own lack of ability that they have brought trouble to their beloved father.

More Hrud were emerging from the cave that had just been breached by the crusher. Dantioch decided to abandon this temporary position while leaving room for air support. He had already seen some chaotic fluctuations in the clouds on the south side.

In the local communication array, Dantioch began to direct his reconnaissance team to retreat in batches. The Hrud who emerged from the tunnel had a strange obsession with him and Zoran, and kept following him. They get closer.

"The Death Guard and the Blood Angels have established their forces outside the Satrada Abyss," Dantioch decoded the information he just obtained and made it public on the channel. "The Nightghost Court has completed the battle with our Primarch. The Imperial Fist is on its way, and there are still nine Terra Days to go."

When he first heard this information, Dantioch himself was completely shocked.

The number of supporting legions was completely beyond his understanding. Even if he soon learned that the Death Guard and the Blood Angels were two new legions that happened to be available, and the Night Ghost King's Court was completely an uninvited guest, this would not be possible. Change his surprise.

"Death Guard and Blood Angels?"

"It used to be the Twilight Raiders and the Immortal Nine." Dantioch stared at the data flowing in front of him and quickly added that the battle in Satrada caused them to miss the new life of the two legions, "Okay, let's go again Give some support to Michael and then prepare to withdraw..."

Channel interference suddenly came, their electronic equipment smoked, and they lost complete data support in an instant. Maybe it's entropy that interferes with them, maybe it's some other unknown enemy. Dantioch knocked down a few more Hrud, watching their corpses decompose and release a stench.

The newly emerged Hrud prepared new cannons, and Dantioch was about to respond, but a burst of explosions suddenly erupted from the creaking creatures. Judging from the phenomenon, it should be similar to the explosion caused by the leakage of high-explosive fuel. Destructive explosion. This happens all the time in the opponent's arsenal.

For the Iron Warriors, this was supposed to be a good thing, but Dantioch found that he was a little too close, and the impact of the hole they dug collapsed due to the explosion was a little far away.

He and Zoran fell into the cave below where Hrud was hiding.

Moving on to the Battle of Betangamon book comedy moments:

"Sanguinius himself reached into the core system of the cluster and attempted to integrate the scattered loyalist forces, but was frustrated by the lack of a clear command structure among the defenders and the inability to unify the armies fighting on hundreds of fronts. "

↑The evaluation is No wonder 13 is written in the holy book. The three loyalist legions have been struggling for several years and they just can't come up with a chain of command.
