Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 454: An Angel Descends to My Side (Please Subscribe)
No one could ignore the grand scene of the Blood Angels' airborne landing, and the charging rebels immediately noticed the enemies coming from outside the sky.

The commander of the Death Guard and the general of the Desolation March auxiliary army immediately turned their guns around.

The warriors of the Fourteenth Legion are good at protracted sieges and positional warfare. The sons of Mortarion have indeed inherited the tenacity of their genetic father. If it comes to fierce fighting and endurance, I am afraid that no enemy in the entire empire can match them.

But at the same time, the XIV Legion was too focused on infantry combat, and the vast majority of the Astartes were heavily equipped heavy infantry. Even the mortal auxiliary forces used to make up for the weaknesses of the Death Guard Legion were all of the same style.

Their original intention was to delay the battle and use viruses and plagues to invisibly defeat the enemy, thereby reducing their own casualties.

Under the leadership of Mortarion, the 14th Legion, consisting of approximately 150,000 Astartes, were deployed to the battlefields of various galaxies. Their manpower was so scarce that if the casualties could be reduced, more troops would be able to join the attack on Terra.

"The Blood Angels are coming, activate anti-aircraft fire!"

"Knock them down!"

The Death Guard's commander, Zadar Crosius, immediately issued his orders, and his seven tactical units sprang into action, manipulating the few remaining anti-aircraft artillery and precision-guided missiles in their ranks to launch a counterattack against the airborne Blood Angels.

Suddenly, dazzling metallic jets began to dance in the sky, and all kinds of energy beams were aimed at the Blood Angels' drop pods, unscrupulously pouring out firepower.

If it were an ordinary enemy, they would probably have a headache facing the Death Guard's air defense measures, but for the Blood Angels who are experts in orbital airborne assaults, this anti-aircraft firepower is nothing.

If even the Death Guard can intercept the Blood Angels, then what else does the Ninth Legion have to prove its strengths?
Radon had already anticipated the enemy's possible counterattack and had prepared countermeasures.

The technical sergeant of the legion immediately activated the defense system in the airborne capsule, and suddenly countless air-to-air missiles were fired out, accurately detonating the enemy's missile weapons.

The shattered fragments turned into explosion clouds in the sky, and the scattered metal shrapnel could cover an entire area. No live ammunition weapon could break through such a defense.

At the same time, the power system of the airdrop chamber also started up. These huge platinum creations would not just stupidly descend along their original trajectory. Their huge power could even allow them to glide long distances like airships.

The Blood Angels evaded the anti-aircraft artillery from the surface with great skill, shuttling through death as if they were playing.

"Compared to the firepower of the Iron Warriors and the Imperial Fists, the Death Guard is far inferior."

Radolon commented that on the display screen in front of him, none of the hundreds of airdrop pods had any problems. The Sons of Angels were really as good at flying as their father, dodging the air-to-air cannon with an exaggerated arc and speed.

The surface of the drop chamber was burned red by the intense friction of the atmosphere. These industrial products produced in the Mustafar forge world had extremely high reliability. Radoron had never seen them malfunction or have the machine soul be unhappy.

"Praise to Sage Roshi. He is responsible for all our warships, drop bays, weapons and equipment. Life like this is so great!"

"Let us kill these plague pigs of Mortarion and liberate this world!"

Radolon said to his guards in the drop pod, and the atmosphere was suddenly filled with joy.

The commander was trying to calm the other soldiers. Radon knew the importance of these details to the war.

It took only a few minutes to get from the atmosphere to the surface of the planet, and after the initial waste, the Death Guard's firepower immediately began to become sparse.

Their ammunition supply was completely exhausted, and no one anticipated the sudden arrival of the Blood Angels. Zadar Krosius wasn't a Death Guard company commander; rather, he was a pharmacist. However, due to the purge within the legion and the losses from years of war, a serious breakdown in the legion's command structure existed.

But as his level increased, Croesus showed his excellent command ability. Compared with using power saws to heal his battle brothers or recover gene seeds, he might be better at war command.

"I saw at least a hundred orbital drop pods, and those Blood Angels numbered at least a thousand."

"Return to our position and maintain heavy suppressive fire."

Crosius was a rational man. Seeing the Blood Angels in this state, he realized that he had to gain as much advantage as possible before fighting the enemy.

He had seven tactical units under his command, with approximately 700 men at his disposal, but these forces were not enough to create a sufficient advantage.

"These Blood Angels must have been equipped with new equipment. If it were the past, we would have been defeated here - but the Warmaster has also strengthened our combat power."

As soon as Horus's demon-possessed weapon was successfully tested, it was immediately replaced and iterated on a comprehensive basis.

The Warmaster was not stingy with the Death Guard, an important legion, and almost completed the outfitting with his Sons of Horus.

In Horus' eyes, Mortarion's Death Guard and Perturabo's Iron Warriors are the backbone of the force to accomplish great things. Compared to various other unreliable guys, these two brothers can undoubtedly be called reliable.

The Death Guard slowly withdrew under the cover of the Desolate March Auxiliary Forces. They left behind the plague zombies and mind-controlled slaves and began to shrink their defense forces.

The Blood Angels' drop pod finally crashed to the ground. The huge shock wave blew away the corpses on the ground. The moment it landed, the promethium flamethrower on the surface of the drop pod had already begun to purify and disinfect the landing point.

Then the hatch of the drop chamber suddenly popped open, and the adamantine hooks nailed firmly to the ground, providing a stable walking path for the Blood Angels.

The Mechanicus's enhanced servitors are loaded with heavy bolters. These creatures, transformed into hideous and twisted forms by the strengthening potion, are able to carry large amounts of ammunition. Not only can they use the weapons they carry to clear a safe landing environment for the Space Marines, they can also replenish their ammunition.

"For the Emperor and Sanguinius!"

Radon took the lead, and the jet pack behind him generated powerful energy, bringing him directly to the sky.

Against the backdrop of the jetpack's wake, the Blood Angels in their bright red armor truly looked like the legendary angels who had descended to earth.

With the arrival of the Blood Angels, the Imperial Militia and Solar Auxiliary Forces who were struggling to hold on in their positions immediately began to cheer.

It has been too long, they have waited too long, hunger and disease are almost dragging everyone into the abyss. At this critical moment, the Emperor's angels finally came here.

The mortal general immediately seized the opportunity, ordering his troops to deploy armored vehicles, follow the movements of the Blood Angels, and surround the retreating Death Guard from different directions.

They could also see that these traitors lacked confidence, otherwise the enemy would never have chosen to retreat first.

They considered it valuable to delay these traitors even for a second. As long as they attacked them from both inside and outside together with the Blood Angels, they would be able to completely bury these enemies who destroyed their homes in this land of death.

Now that an angel has come to me, what is there to be afraid of?
