Chapter 186 Cleaning the Mine
Situ Val came to the planet where recruits were selected. This was not Scaria, and there were no wealthy nests, advanced transportation systems and magnificent space circular orbital stations.
There is no "rich" world in the imperial sense in the entire Three Hundred Worlds.
If Scaria and Atris combined, they could compete with one of the five hundred worlds in the extreme star field.
The combined production capacity of the three hundred worlds may only be as much as that of the ten rich worlds.
A poor planet is the norm.
The colonists who first arrived here didn't know why, but they didn't start building a nest. Instead, they followed older traditions and built large complexes of buildings.
These continuous buildings are not evenly spread on the surface of the planet like jam, but are well planned into a long strip and are built on the boundaries of the ecological environment, such as the boundaries between grasslands and forests, and the boundaries between plains and deserts. .
The ecology on the planet has been isolated into regions with unique characteristics.
Generally speaking, this world is dry, and the terrain is mostly plains and deserts. This has also created the efficient "close to nature" living habits of people in this world. Sports and large-scale military training are very popular here.
During the Tau era, this was a place they despised. These people had extremely low levels of technology and carried out stupid large-scale gathering exercises with crude weapons.
From the Tau's point of view, this backward tactical thinking means artillerymen performing target practice on the battlefield. The army gathered together was shattered into pieces when it exploded.
As for those sports, huh, they are just symbols of barbarism.
A group of descendants of the Imperial Fist stood silently outside, welcoming Situ Val. They hate the Iron Warriors extremely much, and the two sides have fought countless times in ten thousand years.
Fortunately, they can still accept it under certain circumstances. In long-term battles, it is common for them to snatch gene seeds from each other.
This time, these descendants of Dorne looked at it with the mentality of "successfully obtained the enemy's seeds and experimentally transformed them." Even though the gene seeds were obtained from the Black Shield Warriors, they were still stubborn. Think so.
If we create an Iron Warrior, the traitors will have one less Iron Warrior.
It is foreseeable that in the future this Tie Yong will receive intensive special care in his life.
So which lucky person will win this honor?
We turn our view inside the arena.
At this time, dozens of competitors were carrying boulders, standing motionless in the middle on metal plates with strange raised balls on their feet. This competition was all about endurance.
In a sense, it's more like the selection of the Death Guard.
This competition was extremely boring. Everyone watched the sweating children struggling to support themselves. Situ Val judged the merits of talents from their subtle response movements and expressions.
This is also the kindest part.
What follows is a triple torture of machinery, calculation, and combat, and the Iron Hands gang is quite happy anyway. Then came the subspace testing.
Later selections are more diverse.
After all, we have a lot of seeds, whether it’s drag racing, fighting, or classification tests. A large number of people actively signed up for each event. It was really like the Olympics, with everyone working hard to win gold medals in each event.
Stewart's biggest sabbatical ever - a solo makeover for a candidate.
Relaxation allows him to think about life.
On the other side, Anthony was tired and doubtful about life.
After reuniting with Salamander's Terminator team, they dealt with a large number of Chaos enemies. The defeated scum hid in deep underground mines, slowing down the Empire's comprehensive cleanup.
This place has been built into a deadly trap by the enemy. In the past, when the battle reached this point, the Chaos Sorcerer would often choose to sacrifice to open the rift in the subspace, allowing everyone to escape, but this time it was different. Instead, the enemy laid traps one after another, delaying the empire in large numbers. time and effort.
At the "War Council" of this small battle, Anthony explained his speculation to other high-level officials of the empire. It may be a blocking battle by the Chaos enemy, who wants to delay our army here to cover other unspeakable forces. human actions.
Not surprisingly, he received support from all human parties.
The top brass of the Navy all have their own agendas. They only need to expel the enemies in the surrounding galaxies. In any case, a large part of the military success in conquering this area belongs to them.
On the grounds that the navy has consumed a lot of supplies and needs to wait for supplies, it is temporarily repairing outside.
As for the Human Astra Militarum, because they are responsible for the land battle to regain the planet, once the Astartes leave, the human troops will suffer huge losses. They are all their own elite forces. The Astartes must stay here. The more the better.
Grand strategic coordination with other expeditionary forces? Is it important for my own faction to preserve its power?
Officers at all levels who came out of Tadashi Academy who really wanted to fight, and representatives of the Imperial Guard failed to "convince" those old men with high positions.
The war continues and the enemy is killed.
The Navy is happy with its success. The enemy is underground anyway and does not need our orbital support.
After some checks and balances, the burden of quickly eliminating the enemy fell on Anthony.
As a "White Scars" chapter, the War Council asked Antony to deal with the enemy with "efficient and rapid attacks".
Anthony felt deeply tired. Is this a problem with the gene seeds?
The empire's top officials made outrageous conclusions and handed over a bunch of tasks to the Red Torrent Chapter. Anthony didn't refuse and asked for a lot of supplies.
Our few Indomitable Terminator warriors walked in front, and the intricate passages were surrounded by weird subspace plants.
Some were transformed from mortals, and some were nourished and grown by flesh and blood sprinkled on the ground.
The cave that Anthony is leading the team into is covered with "moss". Even if the power armor can crush it with one kick, if your flesh and blood comes into contact with them, you will completely disappear from this world within a few minutes.
Carnivorous moss.
Inquisitor Moffs was strolling in another passage, with faint ripples rippling on his body, and he activated some psychic gadgets.
1313 is still charging with all his strength. The problem is that he doesn't know where the enemy is. Now there is no political commissar to give him tasks.
He passed quickly through the various passages and met Antony's troops.
Anthony remembered Kazanev's miraculous talent of always being able to find the enemy for no reason, and he decided to lead his troops to follow 1313.
In this way, a strange formation was formed with a Krieg Death Corps warrior in front and a group of Astartes behind. They attacked quickly in the passage and passed through the defense lines of Chaos Followers one after another.
In the dark and narrow area, the enemies have established explosive traps here, preparing to bury the approaching enemies in the collapsed mines.
Two Chaos cultists were hiding in the trenches at the rear, with the explosive lever next to them.
They talked in an unknown language, one with a hoarse voice, the other with a shrill voice.
Judging by their tattered minions, they appear to be the foreman of the miners and a common worker favored by the warp.
The positions of the two parties were exchanged here, and the foreman's tone was quite flattering.
After we complete our mission, can we really ascend to the upper world and win the favor of the gods?
Sure, we have got rid of the parasites that inhabit the real world. They have polluted this beautiful world and made it old-fashioned and lifeless. If we want the light of the upper world to shine on this land, we need to clean up the old forces.
Long live the gods!
Um? what sound?
As soon as the two Chaos followers emerged, Anthony was already in their faces.
Without any reaction time, they died completely. Anthony looked at the unexploded trap and did not issue any orders because 1313 was already rushing towards the next area.
Deep in the mines, several Chaos warriors, leaders of mortal believers, and Chaos wizards were also having a meeting.
"Are we really not retreating yet? Sir, our believers have been severely damaged, and the subspace's control over this place is getting weaker and weaker. I can feel that my power is fading, and the witchcraft power I can use is not enough. Thirty percent." A chaos wizard held his staff and said from the outermost position.
"Watch your words, are you ordering me?" The Chaos Warrior was very unhappy.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we can finally open the rift, we have to ambush a wave of damn imperial troops one last time, and let the servants of the false emperor lie on the ground and pray."
Behind him, a huge roar caused the believer leader's eardrum to burst on the spot, and ink-colored blood flowed out, staining the pustules on his face.
In the cage behind Chaos Astartes, a hell beast (Chaos Fearless) was tightly locked with thick iron chains.
It struggled hard, making the chain rattle.
"In the front, the enemy who mistakenly thinks it has entered our core area will be torn into pieces by its sudden appearance and dissipate in the air."
The Chaos side concluded that the Empire would never dispatch Dauntless in such a narrow area.
This place was dug wide and turned into a large square. Behind the narrow exit is a huge area enough for armored troops to deploy, which is suitable for terrain where hell beasts rampage.
There are many bunkers arranged around it. Of course, they are very fragile and can be broken into pieces if hit by a hell beast. It cannot even slow down its speed. The only function of these bunkers is to hide the fact that this is an "open space" at the beginning of the battle. Confuse Imperial troops.
Of course, it also stabilized the group of Chaos believers who had little sense left. They held on in the bunker, and then died and became sacrifices.
"The Salamanders' offensive is very fierce, and it is said that the speeding thugs (White Scars) are also involved."
"Them? Facing our defense line, speed is useless, they will only..."
bang~
A bomb went straight to the Chaos Warrior's head. In desperation, he deflected slightly, and the bomb hit the front armor and bounced away.
The Chaos Wizard turned around immediately, but a hail of bullets shattered him into pieces.
The White Scar kid has nothing but speed. Even without riding a motorcycle, he is still the fastest warrior!
Anthony held a pistol in one hand and fired continuously, but his body still made rapid assault movements. His other hand holds the war blade and leans it against the back of his body, ready to swing the spinning sword at any time to attack the enemy.
1313 appeared from the side and behind. He wanted to climb over the obstacle at first. After all, he could not smash the bunker like the Astartes.
But after flipping through a few times, he found that it too affected his charging speed. There were very few people behind these bunkers.
Looking at it again, wouldn’t it be that if I follow Anthony, I’m going straight into the enemy’s face?
So, in the charge of a large group of Astartes, there were 1313, and the panting Mofus at the end.
The bloody battle was about to break out. The Chaos followers did not receive any warning, and the Imperial troops arrived here. The Astartes on both sides were extremely fast, and they reached close combat range within a few shots of their bolters.
The one at the front is no longer Anthony. He can't outrun the Primaris warriors supported by the Empire.
A Chaos warrior with a Chaos head covered with sharp horns immediately moved back, preparing to release the hell beast. Other guys pulled out their war blades and fought with the warriors.
1313 was running wildly with an engineer shovel. His bayonet-mounted rifle had already been inserted into the head of a Chaos believer. Before he could take off the weapon, he "spotted" another enemy.
Silently and efficiently, he rushed to the side of a Chaos warrior, raised his engineering shovel and slashed at the enemy's waist.
The Chaos Warrior didn't want to pay attention to him, and was ready to kick him to death, but the sharp pain in his waist and abdomen made him understand that any slight had a price.
Several scattered skulls fell from his body, and the "decorations" originally hanging around his waist were scattered all over the floor.
A burst of scorching power burned its body, "Damn it, the power of the false emperor."
The Primaris warrior in front of him didn't understand the profanity coming from his mutated voice. He punched his wound and knocked it back, then swung his war blade across the enemy's head.
The battle-hardened veteran of Chaos immediately lowered his head. The skulls stuck on the tall spikes on his back were all chopped off, along with a piece of scalp.
It is an insult to His glory.
He leaned down and kicked 1313 away. The Krieg warrior fell into a pile of materials used to build a false bunker and was seriously injured.
Before the Chaos Warrior could make the next move, Anthony suddenly appeared and chopped off the enemy's head with a clean sword. Then he looked back at the Primaris warrior.
Learn it carefully, this is how the Khan Knife Technique is used.
The hell beast roared throughout the battlefield. His body was burning with blazing flames. The black carapace was covered with long and short black spikes. The khaki flesh could be vaguely seen coming out of the gaps in the armor. In some places, there were even longer growths. The densely packed flesh sprouts swayed and swayed in rapid movement, which made people feel sick to their stomachs.
It roared and charged towards the red-armored warrior.
But the soldiers behind also completed the arrangement of the teleportation beacon immediately, and Salamander's Terminator team teleported directly to the battlefield.
The first to meet the enemy was a Primaris warrior of the Dawn Angel. He carried a melta bomb on his waist and a shield given by the salamanders in his hand, wanting to attack the hell beast.
However, the violent hell beast did not burst into violent fire as he imagined. His weapon that looked like a gun barrel suddenly stretched several meters and turned out to be a power whip.
The scarlet power whip struck from the side, and the shield was completely unable to withstand the long whip. The Primaris warrior behind it was beaten to pieces, with half of his armor broken into pieces, and he staggered to the ground.
The Dark Mechanicus didn't know what new weapons they had installed on this hell beast. Perhaps the Chaos Warriors plundered the Dark Mechanicus and installed a mess of weapons on this crazy monster.
The weapon on the other side of the hell beast seemed to be an explosive knife. Not only was there a strange big gun hanging under the blade, but the knife was also incredibly thick.
The Salamander Terminators marched into the battlefield at a steady pace, their flamethrowers sweeping away a "false bunker" and burning it to ashes along with the Chaos Cultists.
The Chaos Warriors retreated towards a literal metal bunker, leaving behind a crazed hellbeast.
They didn't dare to get close. This madman was more terrifying than the Son of Sanguinius who fell into black rage. He would kill anything, even walls and pillars.
A White Scar kid was killed by a Hell Dreadnought jet weapon. Even after the battle, no one has recognized what kind of weapon it was.
The red armor was sprayed out of a large mouth, and the area behind it was also affected, leaving a long fire path on the ground, which may have been borrowed from the penetrating hot spear technology of the Dark Eldar.
Two of Salamander's Terminator team finally arrived on the frontline battlefield. , the heavy blade was entangled with the enemy's power whip, and the hell beast swept across with its heavy and wide blade without mercy.
Another Terminator pulled out his war blade to block the hell beast's war blade, and at the same time, a plasma cannon flew from the side, destroying the weapon that seemed to be a hot spear.
But the broadsword was still there, and the huge war blade exploded violently, and even the war blade in the hand of the Salamander Warrior was completely blown to pieces.
The metal plate on the side of the hell beast's broadsword fell, and inside were square bombs.
Several blade fragments got stuck on the Terminator armor, and the soldier was blown away and fell to the charred ground.
1313 finally found what he thought was a worthy and valuable death.
The Krieg warrior walked past several Astartes, seizing the opportunity to rush towards the power whip that had just been thrown to the other side.
There is no defense there now.
The other Chaos warriors still paid no attention to a single mortal. They were busy fighting bloody battles with the Primaris warriors who broke into the bunker.
The hell beast discovered the mortal attacking from the side. It shook its body and hit 1313 with its thick and long black spikes from the side.
1313 did not dodge or dodge, and approached the enemy with a fierce leap.
His chest was penetrated, leaving an incredibly huge hole.
The strange pipe behind the hell beast began to spurt out scarlet blood, as if it had drawn a large amount of 1313 blood.
But what the Krieg warrior revealed from his arms shocked the hell beast. The melt bomb held by the Angel of Dawn warrior was now in 1313's hand.
With a dull explosion, the red heat swallowed most of the hell beast's body, and also swallowed 1313.
No trace of 1313 was seen at the scene. There was no engineer shovel, gas mask, coat fragments... nothing.
Mofus sneak-attacked the dregs of Chaos, and when he turned around, he saw that his mission target had disappeared.
Has the soul returned to the throne...?
