Storm birds roared past, explosions occurred, and fireworks filled the air, but they seemed particularly dim, because above the sky, the true power had already lit up the sky.
In the core area of the main city, spears of light pierced the atmosphere, the air began to burn, and the Death Guard inflicted divine punishment on their enemies. The dome was like the sea, surging and surging, and the rays of light from the highest sky were rippling and sparkling. It looked like a spring pool, but it was a raging storm that was enough to tear apart any individual.
Under the all-encompassing light in the sky, under the trembling dome, everything on the ground became small and blurred.
But it is the people on the ground who are the leaders of this battle.
Horus frowned, looking at the vague silhouettes of the Death Guard fleet above the atmosphere, then he turned his head and looked at Mortarion who was breathing hard.
"With all due respect, what are you doing, Mortarion?"
The Death Guard were trying to knock down the city's air defenses? By sheer brute force
Mortarion's hooded eyes squinted at Horus, then looked away.
"The second battlefield was also ambushed. My warriors were forced to move towards the main city and attack it in advance."
“I’m trying to get some possibilities for them.”
Horus felt like he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Finally, he decided to pick a point that he was most confused about and ask,
"Attack the city? Are they already near the main city?"
At Mortarion's insistence, the Luna Wolves do not have air superiority and fleet orbital deployment rights over the Second Battlefield. As a result, the Luna Wolves cannot obtain high-altitude scanning images of the Second Battlefield. In other words, the Luna Wolves currently know nothing about the Second Battlefield.
Horus did not agree with the fact that information was not shared, but he understood Mortarion's extreme actions because the Moon Wolves had heard the story of the Iron Warriors bombing the Death Guard.
This can also explain why in tactical negotiations, Mortarion was almost paranoid and refused to compromise on the Death Guard's air superiority. If the Moon Wolves were bombed by friendly forces, even Horus could not imagine what he would do to the person who gave the bombing order.
But Horus also had his own considerations. In his expectation, the existence of the second battlefield would not affect the overall situation at all. At best, it would make it more convenient to clean up the battlefield after the war.
It is also possible that the Death Guard want to gain military merit. If the Death Guard fight side by side with the Luna Wolves, then the Moon Wolves, who obviously have more outstanding military exploits, will overshadow the glory of the Death Guard.
So Mortarion's request for a Death Guard war zone alone may also be to demonstrate the power of the Death Guard in front of the Empire.
Although Horus did not think that Mortarion was such a person, in his contacts, except for the angels Sanguinius and Vulkan, the other Primarchs all had more or less a desire for military exploits, but they just expressed it in different ways.
So Horus didn't care so much about Mortarion's second war zone.
But now, the Death Guards in the second battlefield have started to attack the city ahead of time
Even if we attack the city in advance, those Death Guards have to be close enough to the main city, right
This was nothing like what Horus had expected, and the wolf god stared at his brother, realizing that something was wrong.
Mortarion blinked and spoke slowly,
"I was also puzzled by the fast marching speed of my soldiers."
"But now it seems that it went too smoothly. It was a trap."
"I should have told them to stop."
After saying this, Mortarion fell into a long silence, seeming to be annoyed.
Horus was speechless. His reason told him that there must be something else behind this, but Mortarion's annoyed reaction at this moment was not an act.
He was really worried about the Death Guards on the second battlefield.
Furthermore, the Death Guard's current full-force orbital attack also proves that the Death Guard are indeed taking this matter seriously.
When it comes to matters between the legions, we need to give each other a certain amount of space. Not every collaboration between the legions is worth celebrating.
Horus certainly had his curiosity, but not now.
Horus thought for a moment, then spoke:
"Don't worry too much, my brother. We all believe in the ability of your offspring. They will be your sharpest sickle."
"And once the current swampy terrain subsides, the main force can continue the siege."
"The good news is that the Death Guard fleet's orbital attack distracted the enemy, which also accelerated the recovery of the terrain."
“.”
Mortarion tightened his grip on the sickle in his hand, nodded slightly, and did not answer.
[Up! This way! ]
A roar came from the channel. On the city wall, the gap caused by the melta bomb was clearly visible. Blanca half-crouched sideways and pulled up a Death Guard below with one hand.
In the center of the city, an arch made of living people and tentacles stood tall to form an open-air altar. The waves of the Warp were already strong enough to be visible to the naked eye. Behind the arch, huge tentacles twisted, and the naked eyes on them were staring at the Death Guards nakedly.
Even standing at the edge of the city, one can hear the wailing of the humans that make up the arch.
Stormbirds circled dutifully above their heads, clearing away as many people as possible.
and an attack against Hades.
Hades kept a certain distance from the veterans. The crowd fell one after another when the black domain touched them. But it was obvious that the other side also learned that Hades' attack was only effective against soul creatures within a certain range. The crowd no longer moved towards Hades, but began to retreat, retreating into the huge tentacle in the center of the city.
In the distance, the huge tentacle that occupied almost one-third of the field of vision began to split, and some new slender tentacles stretched out, rolling up the hard flesh and blood blocks that were squeezed into several people's height. Steel and concrete were also faintly visible from it.
The tentacles retreated, then suddenly smashed directly towards Hades!
Hades even saw the white mist produced after the pieces of meat broke through the sound barrier!
Wait, aren't those meatballs falling apart?!
After the first piece of meat, there is a group of pieces of meat that almost covers the entire field of vision.
Hades was stunned, he had never seen such an operation before. The black domain probed over and except for the possible faint existence of human souls, it was just a huge barrage of flesh and blood that was smashing towards him.
He tried to dodge, but the other party was also predicting Hades's movements, and for a moment, it was a flesh bomb covering the entire area.
One of these certainly wouldn't kill him, but Hades wasn't sure what would happen after that.
[Request bombing support.]
[receive.]
The storm birds began to bombard, and initially this successfully reduced the barrage of attacks on Hades, but soon, the tentacles began to attack the storm birds at the same time. For a moment, the sky was in chaos, with artillery fire and flesh and blood filling the entire sky.
[Hades, shrink your black domain! ]
Blanca's voice rang out, and Hades silently put away his black domain. The veterans quickly followed, and the whole team was moving quickly towards the designated square. At the same time, these veterans who cooperated tacitly used non-stop fierce firepower, directly using ammunition from the front to weaken the speed of those pieces of flesh and blood, and then alternately used their bodies running at high speed to knock open a path.
[Stormbird cannot complete landing.]
[Repeat, unable to land.]
The enemy's long-range attack interrupted the original retreat plan, and the Stormbirds had to deal with the barrage of flesh and blood.
Before this, except for some simple air defense systems of the original human countries, no one knew that these aliens could carry out long-range attacks in such a strange way.
Obviously, the range of this long-range attack can only cover the main urban area.
What should they do? If they can't retreat, Hades is frantically calculating how to get their team to retreat safely.
[Hades, can your Black Domain deal with that alien? ]
From Hades' perspective, a dazzling psychic light was glowing in the very center of the giant tentacle, as if it had lit up the entire psychic space in the area.
But Hades knew that because of the need to allocate psychic energy to resist the attack of light spears above the main city, the psychic energy that the alien tentacles could control at this moment was actually the least.
If he compresses the black domain to the extreme, Hades can grit his teeth and give it a try.
[You can give it a try.]
He can fight, but others
[We will cover you as you approach.]
Blanca interrupted Hades' thoughts.
Hades took a deep breath and he knew what Blanca meant.
He has to take this wave.
