While the World Eaters were heading to the target planet at full speed, Hades began to select specific World Eaters, train them to cooperate with the Soulless, and teach these warriors the necessary Warp knowledge.
In particular, warn them not to let their minds be controlled by inexplicable impulses and anger, as this will give psychic enemies an opportunity to take advantage.
In addition, through his authority, Hades also tried to mobilize all the resources that could be mobilized in the star field. The Great Whirlpool star field is extremely treacherous. There are pirates, chaos, elves, lost civilizations... accidents may happen at any time.
Unfortunately, due to the instability of the sector, only the Forge World of Salem, which had been saved by the World Eaters, responded to the call of the Master of the Silence Order. The sages declared their loyalty to Angron and the World Eaters until death, and promised to send troops to support the World Eaters immediately.
But Salem had been badly scarred by the war two years ago, and Hades did not expect this world whose basic buildings had been damaged to be able to mobilize much troops.
Hades, who often deals with the Mechanicus, knows that there is a high probability that the army of Salem's Forge World will not be able to "arrive on time" at the battlefield, and the sages will give sufficient reasons for being late after the war.
That is, there were no troops to support them.
Hades took a deep breath. War is always like this.
But if it was really the Warp Chaos that was at work, Hades would tell these Warp insects what a beating from the physical world was like—
The premise is that Khorne will not bury anything underground like Tzeentch.
——————
With engines pulled to maximum, the first World Eater ship rushed into the gravitational field of the target planet, followed by the second, the third...
Countless ships welded with rough armor and turrets quickly deployed on this wasteland planet. Reconnaissance teams were released one after another. The World Eaters plundered the information of this planet with unimaginable efficiency. The chains on the battle axes were already buzzing.
However, except for the leader of the Order of Silence, everyone was shocked after seeing the images sent back by the sensor.
Is that... blood
This planet has drifted in the void for so long that it has forgotten the warmth of its former star. The liquid has condensed into ice and frost in the long winter, but the abnormal reddish-brown frost proves that its main component is blood.
Unstable psychic energy dances on it, the warp and the physical world are obviously confused here, countless scarlet monsters are fighting on the blood plain, and skulls are piled up into pyramid-shaped bone piles one after another.
At the limit of what the sensors could detect, blood mist rose up, the ground became fishy and muddy, a rift like one split by a giant axe ran through the ground, boiling and hot magma roared in between, devouring any creature that was unfortunate enough to fall into the abyss.
At the edge of the rift, a dull crimson pyramid-shaped building was crumbling. It was covered with scars and some building debris was scattered around it, but because of the smear of plasma, people could not tell what they originally looked like.
Angron's armor signal was inside that building, and the signal was screaming miserably, as if it would fall into the abyss at any moment.
Hades took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
Due to the presence of layers of blood mist and blood clouds, the World Eaters could not land directly in the area near Angron. The only area suitable for them to make an emergency landing was the cold blood plains in the distance, but the occasional storms made it difficult to communicate between the ground and the air.
In other words, they need to cross a plain covered three feet in ice, wade through a river of blood, and then they can enter the area covered by blood mist.
During this time, they will face attacks from Khorne's daemons and unstable communications with the fleet above.
Hades was in deep thought. Kahn looked at him inquiringly, and the Lord of the Order of Silence only said three short words.
———————
When they first arrived on this planet, the World Devourers showed great fighting spirit.
After seeing the whole picture of the planet and seeing those crazy and brutal monsters, the warriors hesitated for a moment - but in an instant they realized the possible cowardice in their hearts, so they became more angry and motivated.
They didn't even question whether these monsters were too wrong.
Facing this group of people, it is obviously irrational to advise them to stay rational during the battle.
So Hades singled out the World Eaters' management and warned them to calm down. As for the other warriors, Hades only had one warning:
The World Eaters boarded the drop pods one after another. Hades' admonitions sounded in the broadcast and channels.
"Warriors, listen up! Always remember that you fight for the Imperium, for the Emperor, and for your Primarch! Remember that your anger and will to fight are for the Emperor! Do not lose yourself in anger, you fight for the glory of mankind!"
Kahn's voice then rang out over the comms.
"Battle-brothers! For the Emperor! For the Emperor!"
FOR THE EMPEROR!!!
The torpedoes and light spears roared and bombarded the earth indiscriminately. They had no precise targets because each one was enough to kill thousands of monsters on the blood plain. The earth trembled violently and huge craters were blown up. The ugly craters were clearly visible and were then covered up by a new round of artillery fire.
When the first wave of World Eaters airdrop pods roared through the sky, the average terrain of the blood plain had already dropped by 0.5 meters. Kahn was the first to rush out of the pod, and the shattered bones and flesh covered his knees.
The heat from the artillery fire began to dissipate rapidly in the wind. Frost could be seen climbing up the muddy blood field. Ferocious claws holding swords stretched out from the blood mud. The monsters were coming.
"For the Emperor!"
Kahn roared and rushed towards the monsters that were still struggling to crawl out of the mud. The newly formed frost could not support the anger of a warrior, so he fought with the enemy in the blood swamp that was over his knees. The chain axe chopped straight at the scarlet monsters and tore them into pieces as soon as they uttered the first syllable.
Thirteen minutes later, the first batch of advance World Eaters successfully killed the monsters that crawled up near the drop point, but as far as the eye could see, more figures crawled out from the distorted space.
Hades' voice sounded from the channel, intermittently.
[This is Hades, calling Karn, manual... correction, E0 zone; repeat... position correction... please reply if received. ]
Kahn opened the channel and shouted loudly. The power armor was not so useful in the severe cold. He spit at the guy from the foundry department in the ice and snow for a moment.
[Kahn received! Correct location! E0 area! E0 area!]
One minute and forty seconds later, the second batch of airdrop pods arrived in front of them with steam coming out of them. The first group of Soulless arrived at the battlefield. Kahn took a deep breath, and he felt a certain restlessness deep in his heart begin to calm down.
The Soulless were clearly more familiar with these monsters than the World Eaters, even if the density of the Warp here seemed to make them quite uncomfortable.
The Soulless were not at all shocked by the existence of these monsters. Working in groups of three, they carefully assisted the World Eaters in clearing out the red monsters.
At the same time, the complete figure of the monster swayed and appeared in the distance of the blood field, and the shouts of blood sacrifice to the blood god and skull sacrifice to the skull throne blew into Kahn's ears along with the fierce storm.
Kahn looked from afar as the huge bloody monster spread its wings.
Today's portion is gone, pen refill, pen refill, have a nice weekend
