"In the name of the storm."
The Chapter Master of the Storm Falcons led the warriors of his Chapter and rushed into the battlefield like wild beasts.
Passing over the rumbling super-heavy tank with fury.
The grenade launcher in his hand fired bullets filled with angry will, avenging his comrades who died in the void.
Several Captains of the Storm Falcons Chapter were responsible for the defense of the Void Campaign.
Their tactics are very similar to those of the Imperium's original chapter, the White Scars, both of which prefer roaming and maneuvering.
In order to fully utilize the mobility advantage of the void defense line, Calgar handed over the command of the void battlefield to Storm Falcon.
With less than a thousand main battleships, fighting against the biological torrent of the Zerg is undoubtedly a futile act and a dead end.
Yet the Storm Falcons showed no fear.
The whole group gladly accepted the task.
More than half of the regiment's members were deployed on the void battlefield.
Every flash of light represents the return of their comrades to the throne of the Emperor.
The Chapter Master understood that this battle would result in heavy casualties for the Storm Falcons, but it was for the great cause of Guilliman and for the revival of the Human Empire.
The Storm Falcon will never retreat.
If I die in this battle, I only hope that my soul will return to the throne.
The Chapter Master led a squad through the panicked Astra Militarum, joining the fray with bolters and chainswords in hand.
The Storm Falcons have received the Primaris upgrade.
An endless supply of power flowed out from Guilliman's Heart, making them more courageous as the battle went on.
The Chapter Master leads the squad in an attack on a Tyranid behemoth that destroys four tanks.
Use Leap Treachery to jump onto the opponent's back.
He swung the weapon in his hand to chop at the huge body.
The Tyranid howled in pain, but it did not fall.
It wasn't until the Chapter Master struck it in the chest from the side and tore a lump-like organ from its massive body that it fell to the ground with a thud.
More Primaris Space Marines flew over the Storm Falcon, chanting slogans of their own.
Those terrifying Tyranid monsters also rushed towards them, trying to continue advancing and defeat the humans.
The symbiotic weapon twitched, spewing bio-plasma and highly toxic acid at everything.
The Primaris Space Marines temporarily held off the enemy, easing the Imperial forces' defeat.
Hawke ordered his men to regroup.
The panicked soldiers were trembling all over; death was so close to them.
They dug out the lucky ones from the pile of corpses, regained control of the position and set up artillery.
The damaged exoskeleton combat suits were also abandoned by them.
Some surviving soldiers pulled intact exoskeleton suits from their dead comrades.
Or you can disassemble usable parts and replace them on your own exoskeleton armor.
Hawke jumped to a sandbag heavy weapons position and found that all the gun crew members inside were dead.
Their bodies melted by the corrosive venom.
For two men, all that was left was a sticky mess of offal.
The venom completely devoured their bodies.
There were several other bodies that could be barely identified, but their faces or hands were corroded and only white bones could be seen.
Hawke observed a three-second silence for his dead comrades, then ignored them.
He pulled the trigger repeatedly, emptying the energy clip, and then threw a fragmentation grenade at the Zerg, blowing away those approaching Zerg.
Amid the rumble, he pushed the bodies off the heavy twin artillery and continued firing at the enemy.
The addition of the Primaris Space Marines reversed the situation on the battlefield.
The 502nd Regiment launched a counterattack and recaptured their position.
Several Hellhound tanks also rumbled over the Zerg corpses.
The engine shuddered and belched smoke from the exhaust pipe.
The turrets of the Hellhound tanks continued to bombard the Zerg, assisting the 502nd Regiment's charge.
A huge Tyranid creature fell down and was then crushed by a cluster of tanks, becoming a tattered corpse.
The soldiers rushed back to their positions and commanded heavy firepower.
Artillery and lasers once again filled the battlefield.
Realizing they could not win, the Zerg abandoned their attack.
Those huge node creatures were the first to withdraw from the battlefield, followed by the densely packed small Tyranid creatures, which also turned around and retreated.
Just like the scene when the tide recedes, it recedes without a sound.
The Tyranids' attack was repelled, and the soldiers cheered, doubling their fire on the Tyranids' backs.
After the cheers, the cruel casualty rate forced people to be serious.
The surviving soldiers carried the bodies away from the battlefield.
The commanders regrouped their ranks.
The Mechanicus servitors and priests pulled the damaged vehicles and equipment back to the repair factory for repair.
The Knights and Primaris Space Marines also gave up the pursuit, withdrew from the battlefield and rested.
A large number of men and women who stayed behind were sent to the battlefield.
The equipment of the dead was passed on to these newcomers, allowing them to be armed and fight in the Emperor's service.
This continued for a long time.
The Tyranids attacked, suffered losses, and were driven back.
Relying on his own strategies and tactics, Calgar defeated the offensive of the Tyranids time and time again, making them pay a heavy price but not making any progress.
The Imperial Navy is still fighting in the void, relying on its mobility to continuously cut through the Tyranid fleet.
The repeated repulsions of the Terrans gave the defenders an absurd idea.
The Tyranids are just like that. They can definitely hold off the other side easily and wait for the Primarch to arrive.
However, there is a reason why the Hive Mind is able to wreak havoc on the galaxy.
It is intelligent and has unparalleled learning ability.
But as it focuses more attention on the Vitria system, a sinister plan is born.
It will shorten the duration of the war and keep the ratio of gain to cost within an acceptable range.
Calgar has wiped out several cults formed by Genestealers.
But these beasts are like bugs in the gutter; every clearing out only makes them hide deeper.
Deep underground, a massive digging python is working hard to dig a tunnel.
Soon, the rock walls were corroded by the python's body fluids.
A dusty tunnel appeared in front of the digging python.
The tunnel has collapsed and has been forgotten by humanity.
Here the surviving Genestealers await
These gene stealers have already collected a lot of intelligence on the human defenders, and have left countless backup plans after years of infiltration.
Many strategic goals appear in the hive mind, and after consideration, they are distributed to many individuals.
These stealthy Zerg units scurry along dark tunnels.
They do not need light to see.
The ground was rumbling as countless Zerg were still attacking the human positions, covering their infiltration.
The priests of the Mechanicus were also unable to determine the exact location of these life signals.
It can only be attributed to the energy overflow on the battlefield, which caused the data to be miscalculated.
The intruders quickly cleared a path wide enough to pass, corroding the gates along the way into liquid metal.
Then the many intruders divided into several groups and rushed towards their strategic targets.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
On the surface, Calgar also joined the battle.
The battlefield was filled with burning wreckage, and around him lay a dozen expensive war machines, emitting billowing black smoke.
He smashed the head of a knife worm alive, and its body fluids and debris were scattered all over the ground.
Calgar was full of fighting spirit and confidence.
We will definitely not disappoint the Primarch's expectations.
Time and again the Tyranids' attack was repelled.
Artillery roared day and night, and the sky was filled with traces of constant anti-aircraft gun and laser firing.
To defend Vitria, they brought with them an endless supply of ammunition.
Therefore, Calgar did not hesitate to use ammunition.
Bombard the enemy day and night, suppressing them with firepower.
Countless Zerg suffered heavy casualties, but they still could not make any progress.
The optimized plasma reactor continuously powers the void shield, artillery array and plasma turret, constantly killing the Zerg here.
After several months of transformation and reconstruction, the hive has become a giant fortress.
Cooperating with more than 10,000 Primaris Space Marines and countless mortals.
It is absolutely impossible for the Tyranids to let this fortress fall.
It is the dam that holds back the Tyranid tide.
The Tyranids attacked without regard for casualties, but their long-range firepower was blocked outside the void shield, diverted to other places or thrown into the warp.
Tyranids are too fast to pass through the void shield.
But their speed is too slow. The moment they enter the void shield, they will be targeted and smashed by the anti-aircraft firepower systems of laser cannons and automatic cannons.
Countless Tyranid creatures turned into fragments and fell from the sky.
It piled up quickly.
Their attacks are useless against the Void Shield.
This will be the meat grinder that crushes the Tyranids, and they will pay an incomparable price.
The surviving Imperial fleets in the void were still fighting, weakening and cutting the Zerg, and finally forcing them to crash into the fortresses on the surface, completely destroying their offensive.
As long as the void shield is not destroyed, the Zerg will continue to crash into it and be crushed bit by bit.
Calgar and others can hold on here, wait for the Primarch to arrive, and launch a counterattack together.
As long as the Zerg continue to launch this meaningless attack that cannot break the void shield, they can continue to consume the opponent and eventually win.
"Kill them all, don't let the bodies pile up, let us..." Before Calga finished speaking, a painful voice came from the communication.
"The area where the void shield generator is stored has been attacked by aliens. There are Genestealers. They are coming in."
Karga's face was solemn. "Where are the troops I deployed there?"
"We have been in a tough battle, sir. There are a lot of them. They must have received support from outside." said the other end of the communication.
Karga uttered a curse.
He guessed that the other party should have crawled in from the bottom floor of the hive.
The situation there is complicated and it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of loopholes.
Calgar smashed the head of a Tyranid creature to pieces, roared at the incoming swarm of insects, then turned and left, followed closely by his personal guards.
A gunship took them away and brought them to the shield generator that was under attack.
A fierce battle broke out at the shield generator, and the most elite Zerg warriors were deployed in an attempt to destroy the void shield generator.
Calgar led his own guards back to help and quickly killed them all.
But I didn't have time to be happy.
A low explosion sounded, and the entire nest shook violently.
The void shield flickered a few times and then went out.
"What's going on?" Karga said in shock and anger.
"They destroyed the energy pipeline, my lord." A panicked voice sounded in the communication. "The energy backlog caused the energy stack to overload, and the void shield and anti-aircraft firepower supply were destroyed."
