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

Chapter 485 The Iron Warrior Vomiting Blood (Please Subscribe)
The Warmaster ordered the Thousand Sons's Radiant Light and the Iron Warriors' Iron Blood to cover the other legion ships to create opportunities and space for counterattacks.

He kept attacking the Hrafinkel, the weakest ship in Chagatai Khan's fleet, almost toppling the flagship of the Sixth Legion.

Horus knew very well the importance of not being led by the enemy. Only by taking the initiative could one truly control the war.

This was actually a very correct way of thinking about war. Someone in a fleet had to make sacrifices to stop the enemy, while another fleet had to launch a heavy punch to hit the enemy's vital points.

But what Horus overlooked is that the current rebel fleet...can it really still be considered a fleet?

This astropathic command was transmitted to the astropathic choir of the Manifestation of Light. When Ahriman's psychic eye saw this message, he used his powerful psychic power to completely erase all traces of it without even a second thought.

"Tell the Vengeful Spirit that our location is affected by the turbulence of the subspace and we cannot receive their command."

"Horus, stop giving blind orders."

After hearing the order from the chief wizard, the crew of the battleship immediately took action. They shut down the battleship's communication system without hesitation to ensure that any orders from the warmaster could not reach them.

The chief wizard looked at the communication system that was offline and sneered.

"Horus saw that our Gene-Father was not here, so he wanted us to die?"

"This is simply a daydream. Everyone knows that it was Horus who twisted the order and let those damn brainless Fenris barbarians burn our Prospero. Does he think he can keep it secret forever?!"

"It is a blasphemy that civilization succumbs to barbarism and knowledge is destroyed by war!"

In Horus's rebel camp, each legion had their own reasons for choosing to betray, but the most wronged of them must be the Thousand Sons Legion.

The Red King made a huge mistake because of his stupidity. He actually thought that the Space Wolves sent by the Emperor were here to kill him.

In fact, everything was because the Warmaster intercepted the order given to the Space Wolves and changed "Capture Magnus" to "Kill Magnus".

Later, as the matter was done, in order to prevent his legion from being completely reduced to ashes, Magnus had no choice but to reach a contract with the Lord of Change who had been controlling their fate.

They have fallen into the embrace of the Warp and naturally there is no possibility of turning back, but this does not affect the Thousand Sons' hatred for the Space Wolves and Horus.

Although the Thousand Sons obeyed the orders chosen by the Four Gods, they never truly submitted to Horus.

Under Ahriman's command, the slender and beautiful Radiance, made of scarlet magic metal and adamantium, moved swiftly. It was particularly dazzling in the dark Milky Way, spreading countless knowledge and memories like a proud sun.

The Radiance even used its own psychic artillery to destroy several warships that blocked its way. Against the backdrop of its companions' explosion sparks, it placed the bulky and sturdy Iron Blood right next to itself.

Chagatai Khan ordered the Sky Eagle to open fire at full force. He knew very well that it was better to cut off one of the enemy's fingers than to hurt ten of them, so he forced the fleet to concentrate its firepower and attack one of the ships in Horus' fleet.

His original target was the damned Death Guard. It was Mortarion's obstruction that forced them to use their former flagship Bladestorm as bait to try to kill the Lord of Death.

But Mortarion still escaped. With the new and old grudges piling up, Chagatai Khan certainly planned to attack the Death Guard's flagship.

But unfortunately, Horus kept his closest brothers by his side, and the Endurance guarded the Vengeful Spirit. Jagatai Khan, Horus' flagship, had suffered enough.

The Vengeful Spirit has become an altar of sorts, a place where the power of Chaos in Horus resides. Aboard the flagship, the Warmaster possesses incredible and terrifying power.

"Motarion, you are lucky." The Khan said sarcastically.

"I wish you always good luck."

"The enemy fleet is in chaos. The Radiance is pushing the Iron Blood out. Hit them hard!" "Sky Eagle, fire at full power. Indomitable Truth, Red Tear, and Hrafinkel, focus on blocking the enemy's covering fire. At the same time, fire all your weapons arrays!"

In the void, the Khan's flagship, under the protection of three Glorious Queens, wantonly exerted its destructive power.

The star-destroying cannon drew energy from the entire ship, and the endless energy generated by the antimatter annihilation was continuously injected into the most powerful weapon array.

Khan ordered the warship's output power to be adjusted to the maximum. The chaos within the enemy could not be missed, because the Radiance suddenly changed its course.

In order to avoid the tragedy of a collision between the Glorious Queens, the Iron Warriors' flagship, the Iron Blood, had to temporarily change direction.

Compared with her sister ships, the biggest feature of the Iron Blood is that it does not have any armed portholes or observation ports. It only has extremely complex scanning arrays and auspicious devices that constantly scan the external conditions and present the data to the personnel in the battleship after data calculation.

Perturabo believed that war should be accomplished by pure calculation and command, and the observation port in the void naval battle was undoubtedly the biggest weakness of the entire battleship exposed to the outside world.

Her bow was like an extremely huge iron arrowhead. The plate-like armor flanks were covered with black marks left by the enemy in an attempt to penetrate the Iron Blood's armor, and the jagged spine was covered with densely packed weapon turrets of various kinds.

Even Ryan Johnson's Indomitable Truth was no match for the Iron Blood in terms of pure firepower output. Her speed might not be very fast, but in both attack and defense, she was at the forefront of the Queen of Glory.

And now, the Iron Warriors had to urgently control the Iron Blood to avoid the Radiance. Their captain and mechanical priests all cursed the madness and stupidity of the Son of Magnus. They had no advance warning at all.

City Breaker Fricks almost smashed the command platform in front of him. This powerful war blacksmith was also one of Perturabo's tridents. He knew very well that this was a sign that the Thousand Sons Legion was afraid of fighting and escaping.

"Void Shield! Void Shield! Pull up the Void Shield to the maximum for me!" Fricks was roaring, because he had seen that the enemy's terrible battleship was brewing a fatal attack.

They had all seen the brilliant performance of the other two Thundercloud-class planetary battleships, and how they entangled the Warmaster's secret weapon, the Blackstone Fortress. Fricks had no idea whether the Iron Blood's defense could withstand this attack.

"Damned son of Magnus, I will use Prospero's ashes to build the wall!"

Fricks ordered the captain to send his words, and then began to concentrate all his attention to greet the dazzling beam of light that seemed to be able to split the galaxy.

The city destroyers moved the battleships and frigates near the Iron Blood without hesitation and used them as scapegoats. Thanks to the digitized warfare advocated by the Lord of Iron, the Iron Blood had the authority to even bypass those battleships and directly control them.

The destructive energy torrent of the star-destroying cannon evaporated all matter along its path, and in the process heated the sparse cosmic matter to a temperature of over 100 million degrees. The particle structure of all matter was completely shattered.

The warships affected by this attack had their void shields overloaded instantly. They were completely unable to transfer such a huge amount of energy to the subspace and could only rely on their solid hulls to withstand it.

Dozens of battleships and frigates that were urgently deployed were completely destroyed. Under the star-destroying cannon, they were so small that they were easily wiped out like castles on the beach.

The Iron Blood has concentrated all its energy into the void shield module. Her machine soul has also sensed the threat of death from the enemy's attack and is doing its best to seek survival.

The heavy and solid Iron Blood was instantly like a small boat, being blown away by the surging energy torrent. It rolled endlessly in the universe, and its void shield was compressed to the extreme.

The situation inside the battleship was even more chaotic. A large number of mortal crew members were directly killed by the huge shock wave. They died miserably, with blood flowing from every hole in their bodies and their internal organs shattered beyond recognition.

Fricks was thrown by the impact onto the hard battleship armor and was almost deeply embedded in it.

+Alert! The damage level of the warship is 15.76%! Alert! +
+Airtight cabin explosion-proof curtains are all activated! Reactor operation is abnormal!+
The huge Iron Blood was instantly seriously injured by the full-strength attack of the Sky Eagle. The huge battleship rolled in the universe, like an out-of-control space wreck.

Qianzi's behavior of preferring to kill his fellow Taoist rather than himself made the Iron Warriors pay a heavy price.

The Warmaster immediately ordered other warships to come closer to cover the evacuation of the injured Iron Blood.
