Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 155: Taran's Battle

Perhaps driving a combat moon directly into a planet would be a very outrageous behavior even for the greenskins.

Or perhaps the battle with Perturabo temporarily satisfied the Greenskin Emperor's endless thirst for blood.

In short, when the battle moon was only 28 kilometers away from the planet Taran, the greenskins stopped advancing and let the battle moon revolve around Taran.

This action is fraught with danger. Not to mention that the greenskins can reactivate the battle moon at any time, the current distance has actually exceeded the safety limit of the satellite. Once the battle moon loses its maintenance, it will inevitably accelerate and crash into Taran due to gravity.

As for the safety of orc technology, if nothing unexpected happens, an accident is bound to happen.

In the current situation, such a star that can be seen even in the daytime and occupies one-third of the sky is hanging in the sky so brightly, making every Talan person feel deeply uneasy.

In addition, in space, fierce battles were constantly breaking out between the coalition forces of thousands of warships led by the Iron Warriors and the greenskin main fleet. From time to time, some debris would turn into meteors and fall into the atmosphere of Tallarn.

If you are unlucky, you may even find angry green skins on it.

If it had not been a resolute and courageous planet like Tallarn, but an ordinary Imperial world, morale would have collapsed long ago.

As for how great the Tallarnids were, they were carefully selected by Perturabo. In the original timeline, Perturabo, as a rebel, led the Iron Warriors in a large-scale invasion here.

In the end, although the beautiful Tallarn was turned into a desert, the Iron Warriors ultimately failed to capture the planet and finally withdrew in disgrace.

It is ironic that Perturabo has now become the commander-in-chief of the defense of Tallarn.

As for what Perturabo is doing now.

Answer: Sulking.

The boarding battle before Perturabo was really like uncle looking in the mirror - it was all uncle.

The First Company of the Iron Warriors was almost completely destroyed.

If any warsmith among the Iron Warriors had made such a huge failure, then no matter what the reason, he would be killed by eleven strokes.

But Perturabo couldn't kill himself with eleven blows, so he could only learn to reconcile with himself.

Fortunately, Perturabo in this timeline lives a much more comfortable life than in the official history. After an intense inner construction, although the ultimate twisted man Perturabo still refuses to admit his mistakes, he chooses to stand up and continue to lead the Tallars to fight against the greenskins, and even reluctantly asks Horus for help.

Horus responded that Chagatai Khan would go to support them, please hold on.

For the greenskins who have an absolute numerical advantage, their attack does not distinguish between primary and secondary, and they launch an all-out attack everywhere. Moreover, the main force of the greenskins that came this time is completely different from the ordinary greenskins.

You have to know that one of the main characteristics of green-skinned orcs is that the bigger they are, the stronger they are. The main forces of the Orc Empire are all monsters marinated with Waaagh energy. Even the guys are as tall as armored Space Marines, and there are bosses who are almost as tall as the Primarchs everywhere.

However, the fortresses and Iron Warriors that Perturabo carefully prepared for Tallarn were no pushovers. Coupled with the huge underground fortifications built by the Tallarn people themselves, the tens of thousands of armored units prepared in advance, and the assistance of other imperial forces in the defense, Tallarn was able to withstand wave after wave of attacks from the greenskins in a defensive battle.

In order to better deal with the greenskins, Perturabo even ordered the detonation of a virus bomb specially adjusted for the greenskins. These bombs quickly destroyed the entire ecosystem of Tallarn.

But it's all worth it. Under the radiation all over Tara, orcs who don't protect themselves will gradually weaken. Even the toughest orc spores cannot grow effectively. Even if they finally produce offspring, the guys who crawl out of them are as skinny and small as fart spirits, not Waaagh at all.

The orc boss and the big masters pondered over these boys for a long time, studying whether they were boys or a kind of narrow fart spirit. Finally, after several painful boys were vivisectioned, the orcs believed that these things were still boys. But because they looked more like fart spirits, they were nicknamed fart spirit boys.

The orcs didn't even want these skinny guys as slaves, but a great technician thought about it and made a bipedal mecha that was between the Fart Killing Tank and the Orc Can, named it the Fart Boy Can, and then stuffed these guys in it.

These guys behaved just like the Fart Spirit. Once they entered the can, they started to seek revenge on other orcs. This behavior further deepened everyone's stereotype.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling the fart boy was, they had to sit at the same table with him when they had dinner.

By the way, although orcs can be seen as giant mushrooms that can walk and bite people, in order to maintain morale, orcs also need delicious food and wine (by orc standards), and Taran, which has been plowed by virus bombs, will not grow the mushrooms that orcs like.

So after fighting for a few days, the boys' dissatisfaction began to rise.

In view of this situation, the Orc Emperor Urak decided to launch a general offensive. If he could not conquer this annoying world, he would go find some fun somewhere else.

Time: June 30.890, M7

Normally, wars in the Warhammer universe are often measured in years, and some protracted wars are even measured in centuries, but after the discovery of the New Hope system, all wars in this world seem to have begun to accelerate.

All forces lost their patience and began to desperately pile up troops on the battlefield.

Not long into the Battle of Tallarn, the orcs launched a general attack.

This time, facing all kinds of fire interceptions, the orcs sent out enough airborne troops to literally cover the entire sky. Filling the mountains and seas went from being an adjective for a large army to a statement.

Billions of guys and millions of fighter planes entered Taran with black smoke that even blocked the sun, and launched an attack on all the strongholds on the planet at the same time.

There was no cover. There was no feint attack. All locations were attacked in the main attack, making full use of the overwhelming numerical advantage of the orcs. In this orc army, the orc emperor Ulak also personally participated in the battle. This time he added several long spikes on his back, and the head of the city breaker Fricks was inserted on one of the spikes.

Ulak hoped that this great Waaagh would bring him more spoils like this one.

Although the orcs' attack was sudden, their advance preparations were so loud that Perturabo had already discovered their intentions, but he did not expect that they would deploy so many troops at once.

According to Perturabo's understanding of the greenskins, these things only look brainless, but in actual combat they are even more flexible and adaptable than the Iron Warriors (why are the Iron Warriors so rigid? Don't you know that?

But no matter what, Perturabo must defend Tallarn this time. He wants to let Rogal Dorn know who is the real master of city defense.

The raging flames of war engulfed every corner of Tallarn. The orcs' attack lasted from noon to night, and then until the sun rose again. After that, their attacks continued, seemingly without end.

In the sky, the sun of Taran struggled to spread its warmth through the layers of fog, shining equally on the human warriors and the corpses that had turned cold.

The orc moon hung high in the sky, watching with indifference and cruelty as wave after wave of greenskins crashed into the human defenses.

On the first day alone, thousands of Iron Warriors were killed, more than half of the Tallarnids' armored units were directly lost, and countless mortal auxiliary troops were killed.

Of the 176 Titan mechs under the War Griffin Titan Legion that assisted in defending the city, a quarter were destroyed, and the rest suffered varying degrees of damage.

The thousands of mechas recruited from the Knight Family also suffered considerable casualties.
