Chapter 2923 (?) The fight started
Chapter 2922 () The fight started
Surprisingly, the final war came faster than Ali expected!
Maybe it's because Horus and others are worried about long nights and dreams, and are worried that their conspiracy will be accidentally exposed?
Or is it some other reason?
Anyway!
The next day, when there were six elite Astartes Space Marine guards from the 10th Company sent by Loken outside the door of her cabin, watching and closely monitoring her every move, she was ordered not to step out of the cabin.
At the first step, the counter-insurgency battle on the planet Istvan III suddenly started.
It is said that the number of soldiers participating in the battle exceeded a hundred companies of Astartes Space Marines drawn from various legions, and the number was nearly a hundred thousand, and it was said that there were countless mortal assistants from the empire.
Legion to follow?
Forget about ordinary Imperial troops, but they were a hundred thousand Astartes Space Marines. Therefore, when she heard the news, Ali knew immediately that Horus Tu had met him.
You know, the entire Sixteenth Legion, the Sons of Horus, only has a few hundred thousand Astartes Space Marines, and some legions with a small number of people even only have three to fifty thousand or tens of thousands more. But now, in order to deal with
A mere ordinary person on the planet Istvan III rebelled, but Horus sent a hundred thousand Astartes. What kind of luxurious scale was that?
Comparing the strength of the two sides, it is easy to say that cannons can kill mosquitoes, let alone countless mortal auxiliary troops to assist.
Therefore, this battle revealed a strong flavor of conspiracy from the beginning.
It's a pity that some people, or it can be said that the vast majority of loyalist officers were completely unaware of this, and ignorantly led the troops to excitedly board the orbital drop pods that could not return, and then when the fleet was not there
On the premise of carrying out orbital strikes against the rebels on the ground in advance, they directly raided various rebel positions and cities on the planet Istvan III with light equipment.
In an instant, endless landing pods fell like meteors...
Facing that number of Astartes Space Marines, there were only a few million mortal rebels on the ground. Apart from the initial anti-landing anti-aircraft shelling that caused damage to the landing pod and some unlucky Astartes,
In addition to casualties, as the orbital module landed, their army of millions collapsed in just a few hours.
Yes, it was a complete rout!
The millions of defenders were defeated by a hundred thousand Astartes Space Marines, losing their combat effectiveness almost in the blink of an eye, and the accompanying Imperial mortal auxiliaries were just following the Astartes.
They were just following behind to help and clean up the battlefield and consolidate the results of the war. They had not contributed much at all from beginning to end.
Immediately afterwards, after the rebels were completely defeated, in the rebel capital of Chant City, a loyalist Astartes officer personally beheaded the traitor Pral. Then, Captain Loken and others
The Sons of Horus captured the strategic fortress of the City of Psalm, the Demon Cry Castle, without much effort.
So, the war basically ended here.
In the eyes of the loyalists Astartes and the Imperial Auxiliaries who had easily won the war, they once again used iron blood and force to declare and defend the dignity of the Empire and the integrity of the territory against the rebels, and at the same time fulfilled their obligations.
Honorable duty.
However……
At this moment, when the ground troops on the surface of Istvan III celebrated their victory and tried to call the warmaster in orbit to prepare for follow-up work, they were surprised and shocked to find:
Their calls did not receive any reply, and all communication channels were suddenly cut off... Not only did they have no way to contact the fleet and warmaster in orbit, they even had no way to contact other places on the ground. Attack forces in other cities.
Less than?
No one knows what happened, and no one has any way to change the situation.
Because they took those orbital drop pods that could not return during the raid. Once those things landed on the ground, there was no way to return to orbit. In addition, in order to prevent the rebel leader from escaping, the Istvan III planet
The aircraft and some star ports were blown to pieces by the fleet two days before the landing. Therefore, at this moment, the Astartes on the ground could not even send people to fly into orbit and inquire about the situation.
Not even there!
Anyway!
The communication between the ground and the fleet on Istvan III was completely interrupted, and the communication on the entire planet fell into silence. The Astartes could only use short-distance communication at the city level, and they couldn't do it any further.
For external contacts, we can only send people to use various vehicles and means of transportation to transmit some of the most basic information.
Those warriors obviously could not have imagined that everything was actually man-made, and the initiator was not anyone but the Warmaster Horus, whom they respected most in their hearts, and the primarchs of their respective legions!
Fortunately!
And at this critical moment, in orbit, Captain Tarvez of the loyalist 'Emperor's Children' legion, who was already puzzled by the battle plan of the landing raid, noticed that there was something going on on the planet Istvan III.
Due to the abnormal situation, he also discovered the shocking fact that he could not contact friendly forces on the ground.
You know, he had long discovered that from the very beginning of this battle, almost no one of Fulgrim's trusted soldiers participated in the battle, and the participating troops were all randomly selected from various legions and large companies, not the normal ones.
In addition, this battle used drop pods instead of the better and more suitable Thunderhawk gunships or Stormbird landing craft. Finally, there were still too many Astartes Space Marines invested this time.
More...
All of the above made Tavitz feel that something was wrong from the beginning.
In his opinion, that kind of combat plan cannot be answered by the kind of 'psychological shock' or 'thunder strike' that Warmaster Horus said. It is a complete waste of troops and chaotic command, even if any one
It's a stupid mistake that no qualified commander would make, let alone a warmaster.
Therefore, before he was about to attack, out of all the doubts and incomprehensions in his heart, and because he felt that there was no need to mobilize so many troops, he felt that one more person would not be more, and one less person would not be less, so he gave up on his own initiative.
Instead of losing the glory of the spearhead force, he stayed on the battleship and assumed the responsibility of liaison with the ground.
Similarly, Captain Garro of the Death Guard Corps, for some similar reasons, stranded his troops in the light cruiser Eisenstein in orbit.
Now, just when the fleet was ordered by Warmaster Horus to block the communications of the planet Istvan III, Captain Tarviz, as the communications liaison officer, immediately realized that the terrible thing he was most worried about
The matter was confirmed.
The arrangement of Warmaster Horus and the strange raid method were all to betray those Astartes Space Marines and let them all die on that planet, including him!
Although he didn't know why the Warmaster and the Primarchs did what they did, out of his sense of responsibility and the comradeship cultivated by spending time with those soldiers, he decisively told Captain Garro the truth about the matter.
Then, he brazenly took action to seize a Thunderhawk gunship and immediately launched a forced assault landing on the Anthem City on the planet Istvan III below.
After receiving Captain Tarvez's statement, Captain Garro, who had always felt that something was not right about the situation, was horrified and made a prompt decision to immediately lead the loyal Astartes under his command.
The Space Marines took action brazenly, directly attacking and seizing command of the Eisenstein!
Then, he quickly directed the battleship to sail towards the cover of the Thunderhawk driven by Captain Tarvitz, and tried his best to cover the opponent, shooting down all the space fighters sent to try to intercept Captain Tarvitz.
at the same time!
He also used clear text communication through the Eisenstein light cruiser to warn the entire mixed fleet of the news that Horus was plotting rebellion and preparing to destroy one hundred thousand Astartes loyalists who had landed on the planet, so that War Commander Horus could
Without realizing it, Ruth himself poked a huge hole in the opponent's plan that he originally thought was perfect.
then!
When the news spread throughout the entire fleet, and when the rebels on the Chaos side saw the opportunity and launched an early attack, chaos began to spread rapidly throughout the entire mixed fleet.
Many loyalist Astartes who stayed on the ship for various reasons, or those who wavered and did not immediately join the warrior association, were shocked and angry, and took up their weapons to confront those who wanted to see them.
And their former colleagues and comrades-in-arms who tried to attack and eliminate them launched a tragic counterattack.
It is even said that there were many internal explosions and chaos in the macro gun deck of the flagship Vengeful Spirit, the important engine deck, and even some logistics decks. Many unknown mortal auxiliary troops began to get involved in the chaos?
Anyway!
At this moment, when Horus's conspiracy was discovered, the entire mixed fleet began to be more or less chaotic inside and outside, causing many people and battleships to fight without distinction.
Among them, the frigate ‘Baby Bird’ where Ali is located is certainly not an exception!
Those who were sent by Loken to stay on the battleship to guard her were suddenly surprised by the raider rebels from Abaddon's company, which caused a short period of confusion and casualties. They soon came to their senses.
came and started fighting with those cunning first company raiders. The two sides began to fight crazily and compete for control of the battleship.
Then, of course, after learning that it was Horus and the other Primarchs who had conspired to rebel, and seeing that their colleagues and comrades were attacked by the rebel squad and the enemies were all killed, the few who were originally guarding outside Ali's gate
The elite Starters immediately left their posts and joined in the fierce battle to attack the rebels and fight for control of the battleship.
Zila——!
At this moment, just a few minutes after the chaos in the frigate "Baby Bird" began to spread, Ali walked out of her cabin wearing that majestic CMC armor, holding a spike rifle and a chain sword.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!
Then, when she saw a team of Marauders not far from her cabin fighting fiercely with the few Astartes warriors who had been guarding Loken's men before, she immediately used it like a thief.
The sneak attacks from behind crushed the rebels in the raider squads into a sieve.
Of course, because her marksmanship was not very good, it was inevitable that she would leave one or two bullet holes or bloody bullet holes on the bodies and arms of Loken's soldiers.
But at least, she successfully eliminated all the marauders, and none of Loken's men died.
"What are you looking at?"
"Why don't you hurry up and eliminate those chaotic rebels?"
"Are you waiting for them to come to you?"
Then, seeing the few Loken men who were almost injured by her accidentally standing there looking at her in a daze and confusion, Ali smiled, and then immediately glared back at them with dissatisfaction, and then said:
That commanding tone signaled them to get down to business quickly.
"Right!"
"My people will assist you, but you must not distinguish between friends and foes, otherwise they will shoot at you!"
Then, as if she had thought of something, Ali gave a considerate warning to the somewhat stupid Astartes.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Although I don’t know Ali’s position and what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, and I don’t know where the familiar CMC armor on Ali comes from, but seeing Ali choose to help her side in the chaos, those Lokens
After the subordinates looked at each other, they all tacitly agreed not to ask any more questions, and instead ran quickly to other places, directly to support their comrades.
After all, they all know that Ally is right. Now Abaddon's company of Marauders and those elite special forces have sneaked into the ship and are attacking them brazenly. They must unite to resist or even eliminate those bastards!
"whispering sound……."
Seeing that the Astartes Space Marines under Loken had the good sense not to embarrass herself, Ali certainly had no intention of stopping them, but immediately opened an internal communication channel of the CMC armor:
"Everyone!"
"According to the original plan, take action immediately!"
"remember!"
"Be sure to control all the key departments on the ship first. Don't rush to get involved in the battle. Let them consume each other for a while first!"
"First company commander!"
"Now mark the location of the predator commander on the map for me, and I'll rush there right away!"
"That's right!"
"That's the location of the guy named Dral from Abaddon's company!"
"You know where he is, right?"
"very good!"
"You should immediately bring a few people to wait for me halfway. I'll be there soon!"
"complete!"
In this way, Ali quickly completed the instructions one by one with the help of the internal combat channel of the CMC armor. Then, after getting the map and a certain position shared by one of her subordinates, she carried her weapon with a dark face and some gritted teeth.
Run somewhere quickly.
At this time, in a certain passage of the frigate, Dral, the predator officer of Abaddon's company, was leading two elite raider teams to attack the two men of Narokan's tenth company who were guarding the end of the passage.
More than a dozen Loyalist Astartes Space Marines launched a fierce attack. Both sides used bolters, individual fragmentation bombs, chain swords, power axes, power hammers and other weapons. At first, they were relatively small and could not be fully used.
Crazy and bloody charges and killings unfolded in the channels of their respective strengths. Bang! Bang!
Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!
boom--!
Boom——!Boom——!
The dense sound of bolter gunfire and bombs resounded inside and outside the passage and spread far away. The shock was even felt by Ali and several of her men who were rushing.
This moment!
The former Astartes brothers have turned against each other and become sworn enemies!
The blood of loyalists and traitors gradually dyed the already narrow passages and bulkheads red. Countless bullet holes pocked the power armors of both sides that originally had the same model and the same paint. They even hugged each other and struggled.
, chopping, colliding, putting the muzzles of each other's guns against each other's neck and other vulnerable parts, and pulling the trigger hard, letting the gunshots one after another, each other's wailing screams and the sound of falling heavily to the metal deck ground.
It resounded in the area.
Although the battle lasted only a short time, the blood still dyed a long section of the bulkhead red, forming shocking bloodstains. At the same time, the air was filled with a strong smell of rust and burning.
The violent chops of the power ax and the heavy blows of the power hammer caused the ground and bulkheads to tremble and make loud noises. Likewise, every hit was accompanied by the screams of the enemy's power armor and the screams of the former brothers.
The fallen soldiers from both sides lay on the ground, while the surviving ones continued to charge, continue to fight, and continued to fire fiercely at each other.
The brotherhood they once had is long gone. At this time, there is only killing in each other's eyes, only the endless madness and destruction.
"For the Emperor!"
"For the Warmaster!"
The two sides continued to shout different slogans, and then continued to shoot and collide with each other fiercely!
Although the loyalist Astartes Space Marines were at a disadvantage, they still relied on their firm belief and fearless attitude to engage in a crazy and almost fatal battle with the powerful Chaos Rebel Marauder Squads.
Charge and countercharge.
Even though soldiers from both sides continued to fall, and even if the loyalist side fell more, the remaining soldiers continued to move forward with anger and hatred, letting their bodies shuttle back and forth with the traitors in the narrow passage.
, fighting and colliding, one falling and another getting on, as if performing the never-ending dance of death.
final……
Ten minutes later, when the last Loyalist warrior fell, apart from the hideous corpses and the almost spreading blood in the passage, the only one left in the passage was the commander of Abaddon's company, Dra.
It's just you and two of your men.
Obviously, although they paid a lot of casualties, the traitors still won!
"!!"
"?!"
"Enemy attack!!"
clatter--!
Da——! Da——! Da——!
Da——! Da——!
And just then!
When Dral of Abaddon's Company was preparing to rush forward to the bridge with the only two remaining Chaos Rebels, suddenly, a round of bullets came from behind, directly beating two of his men into two.
A twisted honeycomb-shaped iron knot, allowing the flowing blood to continuously flow out from those penetrating holes.
And if that Delal hadn't been quick-sighted and quickly picked up a heavy shield and blocked it in front of him, I'm afraid he would have followed in the footsteps of his two men.
"Oh--!"
When the gunfire stopped, when he looked up from behind the shield, and saw several guys wearing CMC armor slowly approaching and appearing on the other side of the passage, and the leader was a familiar woman, how could Delal still think about it?
Don't know what happened?
"Ally!"
"You traitor!"
That’s right!
He saw that the rebel Ali who originally cooperated with them turned against them again!
He also brought several resistance soldiers wearing the CMC armor of the Huagai star and holding spike rifles to block his way forward. From behind, he also saw that the gate had just been blocked by the opponent in some unknown way.
It's closed.
"traitor?"
"When did I become loyal to Chaos and loyal to Horus?"
"I fulfilled my promise to him..."
"And now, it's time to charge interest!"
Ali was a little dismissive of the other party's squeeze. She just sneered and stretched out her hand to signal the men behind her who were about to shoot to stop for now.
Although the spike rifles in their hands were enough to shatter the opponent's shield and kill the opponent, due to the limited ammunition and the fact that they did not want to penetrate the passage and damage the spacecraft, she felt that it was better to use a safer method.
"Make a statement!"
"This is not rebellion!"
"This is revenge!"
"You should still remember the more than a thousand wronged souls from Class A on the bottom floor of the Vengeful Spirit, right?"
"certainly!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember, we will remember it anyway..."
Ali said with a cold face and sarcastically.
"oh--"
"So those are your people?"
Originally, Delal was still a little confused, but now, he finally knows why, and at the same time, he no longer has any luck.
"That's fine!"
"bring it on!"
"Show me how you can take revenge on me?"
As he said that, Delal glanced at Ali, then at the CMC armor on her body and the spike rifle in her hand, and then estimated the length of the corridor and the guys behind Ali who were also wearing CMC armor, and thought
Feeling a little fearful, he raised the shield in his hand and rushed forward with a sudden burst of speed.
He knows that now, the only thing that can pose a threat to him is the spiked rifle in the opponent's hand, and once he gets close, no one among those mortals will be his opponent!
And of this, he was very sure!
However……
Next second!
"?!"
What surprised him was that the soldiers wearing the CMC armor suits of the Huagai Stars actually stepped back and lowered their guns?
Then, the woman also dropped the spiked rifle in her hand, grabbed a chainsword with her backhand, and rushed towards him?
Although he didn't know where the other party's courage came from or what went wrong, but knowing that the other party was the leader and a psyker, he was secretly on guard and planned to kill the stupid woman first.
Let’s talk about it later!
Zila——!
Otherwise!
The next moment, a fiery red lightning hit his shield instantly.
Although it was not very powerful and could not directly burn him into a piece of coke, Dral was still a little paralyzed by the powerful current, and then his movements were somewhat slow due to the heavy shield.
Became more sluggish.
And then...
Swish——!
All he saw was that the woman who was just an ordinary person suddenly changed in figure very quickly, even approaching the incredible level of Abaddon, the commander of their first company, and then before he could react, the other party
The terrifying chain sword in his hand flashed towards his neck?
As the world spins...
Soon, he saw his headless body that was still holding a shield. It looked very tall and strong, but at the moment it looked a little funny...
However, Dral couldn't figure out why the opponent's speed and instantaneous explosive power reached a level that even the elite Astartes Space Marines like them could not match?
Isn't the other party a mortal psyker?
You must know that he had fought against those Huagai Stars and gained a lot. He also knew that except for a few elite members of the Heads of Guard, the rest of the soldiers, even with the assistance of CMC armor suits, were absolutely impossible to defeat them.
It's only right to reach that level.
However……
Gradually, before he could fully understand it, as darkness and boundless sleepiness descended, he finally slowly closed his wide eyes and knew nothing.
"..."
Staring at the head that she had thought about day and night for several days, Ali shook off the blood on the chain sword in her hand, then looked at her subordinates and ordered in the channel:
"Everyone, start taking action!"
"First company commander!"
"Go to the bridge and capture the battleship in the shortest possible time!"
"Destroy all the marauders!"
"at the same time!"
"If you encounter those Loken people, order them to put down their weapons, otherwise..."
"Kill without mercy!"
After saying that, Ali immediately turned off the communication channel, and then led her men towards the bridge with a cold face and a sinister expression.
