Chapter 322 Hong Suo makes a comeback and takes advantage of the situation
A massive soul storm swept through the five hundred worlds of the Ultramarines, and all communications were cut off.
If you want to ask why we know, then you have to mention the "Tau Clan" communication method of real-world messenger ships rushing to deliver messages.
The Great Thousand World did not react at all. Yifeng judged that the other party wanted to force Guilliman, who was organizing an expedition to Terra, to return, and then infiltrate the Ministry of Military Affairs to cause chaos in the expedition or intercept Guilliman halfway.
Yifeng believed that Felix Yingjie stationed in the Five Hundred Worlds was enough to deal with the enemy, so he ordered the troops to maintain observation and stick to the original plan of expansion.
Then, we learned that Felix Yingjie had died in battle.
There were too few Ultramarines left in the Five Hundred Worlds. Calgar led a large force to Terra. The remaining Ultramarines launched a reserve plan and immediately created two hundred recruits, but they were easily defeated by the veterans of the Chaos Warlord.
After learning about this, Yifeng suddenly realized that the Empire might not be able to provide timely support this time. They probably hadn't received the news yet. The Emperor might have given Guilliman a dream, but the army was too slow to move out.
The reconnaissance force did not bring any news about which force the Chaos Warriors were, but Yifeng was still ready to go to support them.
The main forces of the ten battle groups are all in the Calixis sector, and there are only four battle groups with more than 6,000 troops in the world.
If the original plan is not changed, at least three thousand warriors will be left to ensure that the world and the demons and monsters in the dark area will fight against each other.
Yifeng also hoped for this. He left Fulusi to lead the garrison, the Redemption Light Chapter and the Wolf Brothers.
He deceived Rogier and asked him to find a world similar to Fenris as a recruiting ground. This was Rogier's dream.
Only Kuroseil noticed the abnormality, because all eight hundred wolf brothers were sent out.
The Red Torrent rarely does that, and the wolf brothers' sense of smell makes them always one of the important backbones of the reconnaissance force.
The two angel battle groups and a thousand serious battle brothers of the Red Torrent set off and took the People's Light to the war field.
There are twenty Fengyun-class battleships and other combat ships in the shipyard, including the Light of Dawn, the Eternal Mountain, the Mother of Tears, and other ships that we have on the surface.
Stable development is our best choice now, but the internal and external situation does not allow us to rest. Warbands require more fighting and hunting enemies for resources.
Both the enemy and ourselves, as well as the remaining descendants of Guilliman in the five hundred worlds, are gathering towards Macragge.
.......
Honso accomplished his small goal in life and invaded the Five Hundred Worlds. Now comes the second small goal, capturing the core of Ultramar - Macragge.
The last time he tried, he failed. The 17,000 people who gathered were completely wiped out. At least they no longer followed him.
Originally, he could have started the second invasion long ago. After he found Perturabo in the subspace, he maintained a good relationship with the Lord of Steel.
The gathering of the Fourth Legion changed all this, and Honso's warband ignored his orders and simply responded to Perturabo's call to leave.
Honso realized that he needed an army all his own.
The warband leadership given to Huron in his Feast of Skulls was unreliable, and so were the troops given by the Primarch.
He has to have his own army.
As a hybrid, Honsou's favor with the original Iron Warriors has some unclear connections. His first fortune was still obtained through duels, but this time it was only dozens of warriors, and the two sides were closely connected. a lot of.
And he restarted the devil's womb technology and quickly replenished his troops. He was the leader of a small warband who rose to power through duels and created a large number of warriors of his own. These can only be called Renegade Warriors, with so little Chaos Corruption that they cannot be classified as Chaos Warriors.
He has attacked many war groups, with the main purpose of plundering gene seeds. The number of his war groups exceeds 10,000, and the growth rate is actually faster than the Red Torrent, because Hongsuo is more thorough pragmatism than us and has no Morally bound pragmatism.
The problem is, he spends a significant portion of his time in the Warp, and his time passage doesn't last that long.
By the time his troops were formed and ready for revenge, his enemies had long since changed and disappeared under the ravages of time.
Similarly, there are also advantages. There are more opportunities. Honso keenly seizes the opportunity and attacks with all his troops while Macragge's strength is empty.
He decided to drag the entire planet of Macragge into the warp as his new home planet.
Chaos needs troops, and so does he. It would be better if the blue man led troops into the Eye of Terror or even the subspace.
What's the difference between that and the Atonement Crusade towards the Eye of Terror? It was obvious that he was sending troops to Chaos.
Honso could have let Guilliman destroy Macragge in the warp, all he wanted was the gene seed.
In addition to an unknown battle group of red-armored warriors, which is said to have caused some damage to Thor, Perturabo seems to have also been beaten to a large extent and suffered a lot of corruption in the subspace. There has been a huge change in the entire subspace arms supply chain. question.
I wonder if the Dark Mechanicus alone can quickly drag Macragge into the subspace into a trap.
.....
These are all things for the future. Honso is now standing in front of the porthole, watching countless artillery fire coming out of the Ultramarines' home.
The planetary shield is solid and reliable, but so far, they have only gathered 11 broken battle groups with only more than 2,000 people. It is impossible to fight against their own ten thousand warriors.
"Fire, full fire."
In terms of the number of battleships, the two sides were temporarily tied. Although a large number of communications were blocked, and most of the Astra Militarum and Ultramar Auxiliary Army did not arrive, those chapters brought their own chapter monasteries.
The bulk of these Chapters responded to Guilliman's call to rally, with the Chapter's monasteries their only and final means of interstellar flight.
Some are battle barges, others are ancient and dilapidated flying fortresses.
It doesn't matter, it will all be mine soon.
He penetrated a dozen of the five hundred worlds, forming a thin line that penetrated into the core of Ultramar, and then the planet-level subspace rift could swallow the fleet together and disappear into the real world.
Next to them was a company of Word Bearers. As professional subspace troublemakers, they had to be present for this kind of thing.
Maybe the Chaos Gods will fight in the warp over where to pull Macragge.
"Whoosh~"
A mysterious and ancient torpedo bombardment was dodged by the battleship's emergency maneuver. The torpedo with its own hunting beacon was turning to launch the attack again.
A black spot appeared in the creaking old battleship, and some extremely precious space fighters went to destroy the torpedo. For the rebel side, it was necessary to capture the ship and seize the fighter planes before all the opponent's fighters were destroyed. Extremely difficult.
The largest number is the Alpha Legion. That army's group attacks often occupy the entire ship before the opponent can react.
Then, Honso witnessed the destruction of the fighter jet.
Everything was perfect, perfect hunting, perfect attack, perfect distorted light destroyed the torpedo, and then engulfed the fighter plane beyond the expected explosion range.
"They used some forbidden weapons."
"This won't save their lives. It's time for the gifts we have prepared for them to be released."
"But, Commander, the planetary shield has not been breached yet."
Hong Suo just glanced at the speaker, and the other person immediately turned around and sent the task order.
At times, Honso felt a little like Perturabo. But he disdains his approach.
The Lord of Steel always succeeds in tactics and always fails in grand strategy. Honso will not be timid and will do it thoroughly.
The taboo scroll had been unfolded, and Hongsuo stood quietly by the porthole.
One of the gifts for attacking here is an extremely simple Extermination Order-level weapon.
The mechanical scroll engraved with the divine pattern of Thor was completely flattened, and the entire battleship lost all energy in an instant.
The mysterious soul furnace, sin engine and thought generator all stopped functioning, and then... the beam of light disappeared in a flash.
Even from space, we can see the flames emanating from all over Macragge.
Hundreds of rotating Void Shield modules were overloaded almost simultaneously.
The planetary shield did not disappear, but the energy density immediately dropped to a level that allowed the force projection facility to enter the request.
"I don't have time to spend several years bombarding the warships, overloading the void shields in turn, and waiting until accidents accumulate so that the whole planet can't get a set of shields together. This is too slow, everything serves time."
Hong Suo's battleship group and the Loyal Empire fleet started a melee. Exploding warehouses and frigate wreckage could be seen everywhere crashing into Hong Suo's flagship.
Now is not the time to place an airdrop. Don't think Macragge is so fragile.
The shadow plane began to penetrate into the void shield, and the densely lit anti-aircraft guns on the planet lit up the entire sky.
The first round of attacks was material bombs. The random material fragments fell and were exploded by anti-aircraft guns, but they were of no use. They relied on their own material to destroy the guarding fort.
Small void shields lit up one by one, revealing their distribution in the dense metal rain.
"Coach Hong Suo, we have locked most of the enemy's air defense arrays."
"The shadow fighters began to land, so the assault force must reduce the enemy's fire density to below 4."
Each Shadow Fighter carries only one passenger, an Indomitable Terminator.
A large number of cheap and sturdy landing pods hit the ground together with the meteorites, attracting the enemy's attention. These low-cost landing pods, which could compete with green leather creations, contained skinless people.
They are the battle servants of Space Marines born from the womb of demons, reforming the losers.
The weapons these guys are equipped with are simple and cheap, and they are just cannon fodder, even if they can block the Terminator's attack.
The Infiltrators moved into action, Honso's strong Iron Warriors fighting style mixed with some of the habits of the Chaos warbands.
"Crack~"
The lights came on, power was restored to Honso's flagship, and then the alarms went off one after another.
Explosions were heard in the area near the command room. Three teams of elite Space Marine veterans boarded the jump gang warehouse and launched an assault when the ship suddenly went silent.
The one who took the lead was very "rare". It was the famous, extremely hard, indestructible and unstoppable adamantine armor - one of the first hundred pairs given to Guilliman.
Honso's Guards took advantage of their familiarity with the internal structure of the battleship to contain the opponent's advance with a massive outpouring of firepower.
The warrior wearing anti-psionic armor easily broke through the six-linked laser array defense zone and killed six warband members. He posed a greater death threat than those rough-skinned Death Guard terminators.
Honso's lieutenants found a way to deal with it.
He personally controlled the six-link heavy explosive bombs set up in key arteries to attack the ground under the feet of the adamantine warriors. He would hit wherever the opponent went.
The veteran of the Ultramarines roared, "Honor and responsibility, for the Father of Genes! You sneak attackers who don't know whether to live or die, stand up and face me!"
"哐~"
Half of the adamantine warrior's legs sank into the floor, and the broken cables below came into contact with the leaked gas from the trampled pipe, burning along his adamantine thighs.
The crack exposed after the pipe was crushed was very small and failed to cause an explosion, but the continuous ignition made the Ultramarine look like he had stepped on a gas stove.
The few soldiers behind wanted to come over to cover their comrades, but Honso's Guards hid behind the bunker and threw many tank blasting grenades to hinder the soldiers' progress.
The six-link heavy explosive bomb continued to spit out fire, and the hot barrel formed a red halo during rapid rotation. The rain of bullets poured from it turned the floor into honeycomb.
The adamantine armor was trapped in the floor from the waist down, unable to move.
The veteran's counterattack cannot be underestimated. The damage to the weapon vest on the front does not mean the failure of the weapon on the back. The shoulder mortar fired two shells.
Due to the angle, this cannot hit the six-gun bolter.
But it can be a smoke bomb.
The smoke was thick, and the experienced defenders used irregular bursts and bursts to sweep the smoke area.
The two sides faced off nervously.
The two ultramarines looked at each other. One of them raised the precious lightning hammer, while the other stepped out from behind the adamantine warrior and set up a heavy plasma gun on his shoulder.
The warband members hiding behind the bunker opened their chainswords and prepared for a close combat with the enemy.
Suddenly, the floor below was blasted to the ground. Several soldiers wearing Mark 10 flying module power armor suddenly appeared. As soon as they jumped up from the ground, the light of plasma and melt gave the garrison a disastrous attack.
Enemies who raised their heads from the bunker were instantly hit in the head by the scorching ion current.
These soldiers did not reach the top. After firing a shot, they fell back to the entrance of the cave.
The moment their bodies sank into the hole, a shining ion ball flew out of the smoke, and the deputy immediately left the broken position of the six-link bolt gun. He rolled towards a wild dog on the side and avoided the electric counterattack.
The Ultramarines veteran holding a lightning hammer rushed out of the smoke, leaping over his deputy in a flash of lightning.
"For the Emperor!"
The deputy was lying on the ground, and out of the corner of his eye he had glimpsed the enemy leaping from the remains of the fort. The Ultramarines veteran's lightning hammer was aimed at his chest, and a circle of skull decorations now became the target of the sledgehammer.
The adjutant's original power armor was stretched across his chest, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't stop it at all.
My heart skipped a beat and I fought hard.
He held his power sword upright, pointing the tip at the fallen veteran, fighting to destroy both sides.
At this critical moment, an ion beam struck from a distance.
The veteran holding the lightning hammer in both hands lost an arm on the spot. The one-armed lightning hammer still hit the adjutant's shoulder, but the power sword penetrated his helmet, killing the veteran on the spot.
"Coach Hongso!"
Hongsuo held the ion pistol in one hand and wielded the relic power ax with the other hand, standing majestically at the entrance of the narrow passage.
Although he is a Space Marine, he is roughly the same size as a Primaris warrior.
"Hmph, the resistance of the dying."
The Primaris warrior at the entrance of the cave poked his head out for the second time, and everything was completed in a heartbeat. The stun gun in his hand was still steaming, and the cooling had not yet been completed.
He turned on full power, and the powerful energy flowed through the flight module, causing it to vibrate.
"The machine spirit is afraid of me." Facing the flying warrior, Hong Suo raised his hand to block the sharp thrust. It was just a prosthetic leg, so he didn't care.
The battle ax cut into the Primaris warrior's chest quickly and violently, then pushed the body down with one hand and hit another veteran in the hole.
The veteran holding the melta decisively gave up the weapon in his hand, took a few steps back, drew his sword sideways, and prepared to fight Hongsuo who jumped down.
But Honso didn't jump down.
The shock waves from the explosion of several grenades dispersed the black smoke of the smoke bombs, and Honso saw the veterans of the Adamantine Warriors.
All the weapons on the veteran's body were shattered. There were two bolt craters on the bolter. It was no longer usable and was abandoned aside. The only thing that could be used was the Masterwork Power Sword.
The adamantine warrior waved his war blade, cutting open the riddled floor beneath him like tofu, leaving room for him to step forward.
Hongsuo had never seen this kind of armor, but he thought it was a centurion uniform.
Hold the ax in one hand, step forward quickly, stop suddenly to use your strength, and swing the ax in turns, all in one go.
After a head-on fight between the power sword and the battle ax, the scene that Hong Suo expected did not appear. The tank-level power core of the adamantine armor allowed the veteran to block Hong Suo's attack with one hand.
Kicking away the metal floor, the veteran of the Ultramarines jumped up, grabbed Honso with one hand, and swung his sword with the other hand to give him a break.
By some mistake, Hongsuo took three steps back to avoid the blow. The "position" permeated by the opponent's armor made him feel his skin was burned, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
More warband elites poured out, jumped down along the entrance of the cave, piled to death the Primaris warriors below, and then began to besiege the huge group of armor.
They circled around the metal hunk, slashing and bombarding them, but he could knock them away with a single swipe.
"This is harder than a hell beast."
The war gang members shouted, their morale did not collapse, this was what Honso was after.
"Go get the vibrator. Contain him."
A massive power sword befitting a tank-like adamantium battle armor, Honso swung his battle ax to lure the Ultramarines veteran into tight quarters.
The last warrior has no other choice. Killing Honso is his only way to save Macragge.
"The Emperor's wrath will burn your filthy body, and the corrupted soul that abandoned honor and responsibility will be beaten to ashes by the Emperor's punishment!"
"Really? The Pseudo-Emperor's flames are not as effective as this!" The flankers of Hongsuo came with promethium elemental flamethrowers, but they were filled with the soul flame of Thor, a weapon purchased from the Dark Mechanic God. It's still very safe.
The black flames washed the veteran's face, and half of the flames with the power of subspace were transformed into a soul attack more violent than the Thousand Sons Scarlet Letter Warrior.
Honso could hear the veteran's screams and heavy breathing coming from the loudspeaker.
"How about it, is the false emperor protecting you?"
The soldier holding the flamethrower did not move, but Hongsuo felt something was wrong and dodged towards the side of the veteran.
The finely crafted power sword split the flames, and the blazing air wave split into two, splitting the warrior holding the flamethrower in half.
? Not Honso?
"Boom~~~"
Hongsuo struck Adamantine in the back of the head with all his strength.
"Listen carefully, this is the bell of Macragge's destruction."
The blade of the ax slowly left the head, and then struck quickly again.
"Shout, keep going, didn't you love acting just now!"
The screams of the Ultramarines? Hong Suo didn't believe it at all. These guys were fierce men who gritted their teeth and swallowed. They didn't even scream before they died.
Hong Suo climbed onto the back of the adamantine warrior, while the veteran slammed into the wall like a wild bull. Due to its structural limitations, this armor was easily defeated by enemies that appeared in a blind spot when it was isolated and helpless. It was better to stick to the wall. Good choice.
Hongsuo jumped slightly and jumped into the air before his thick armor came into contact with the wall covered with burn marks.
"Boom~~"
Honso was sent flying.
The walls also collapsed.
The soldiers watched helplessly as the charged light of the light spear in the distance lit up.
"It's over, the damn empire, it's so careless."
The Destroyer torpedo is one of the most cherished torpedoes in the Empire. Its warhead is the bone powder of Sister Silence. It is specially used to break through the defense of the Void Shield and open a breach in the Void Shield at a certain location.
There was a sudden explosion underneath Hong Suo's flagship, and the entire ship began to tilt sideways. It was tilting slightly, and the hole did not face the light spear directly.
All the Astartes of the warband could feel the heat above their heads.
The frightened Hong Suo staggered up, and then he saw an interesting scene.
"Rebellion~~~~Death~~~~"
"Stop talking. You are more talkative than the Word Bearers. They should at least shut up when they should."
Hong Suo slowly came to the fallen Ultramarines. The collapsed battleship armor pressed him down, and the entire armor could not move.
"This armor is very interesting. Can you raise your head?"
"Crack~"
"Unfortunately, it looks like it can't be done."
Hongsuo tried to break it, but failed to break it.
The Ultramarine turned his head sideways, and Honso blocked his voice.
He brought a few smoother pieces.
"There's no mirror, so the brightness is poor, so you can just make do with it for now."
Through the huge gap in the battleship, the Ultramarines veteran could see one of the chapter's monasteries dying in flames, turning into a ball of flame amid the siege of several battleships.
.......
The veteran roared angrily, and Honso took the belated vibrator.
"What a shame. You're great. Are you interested in joining us?"
All he got in response was curses.
"I don't need to ask this. It's a pity that you only have this pair of armors. If there were hundreds of them rushing towards me, I would turn around and go back to the subspace right now."
