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

Chapter 630: Entering the Imperial Palace

"Terra is the place I have chosen for my coronation. I will defeat my false father on the throne world."

"Take Terra for me, fearless warriors, for the liberation of humanity, for the future of mankind!"

Horus's cry echoed in the ears of every rebel, and the power of chaos contained in it instantly completely changed the cognition of the first landing troops.

It was naturally impossible for Perturabo to directly deploy the first batch of elite troops to the battlefield, so these vanguard troops were actually a mixed force composed of various mortal cultists, mutants and subhumans.

All the mortal cultists who are still alive today have undergone serious mutations of their flesh and blood. Horns, bone spurs and extra limbs have grown on their bodies, while filthy scales and bristles are attached to their body surfaces. The corrupt power of Chaos has penetrated deep into their bones.

And those mutants and subhumans looked like they had nothing to do with humans. They shouted loudly for Horus and rushed into the Terrorclaw drop chamber made up of twisted flesh and hideous bones.

The original metal creations had been eroded by the demons of the subspace. After the machine soul merged with the demons, it became even more cruel and brutal.

Some mortal cultists watched helplessly as the drop pod they were riding in opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth and chewed and swallowed several sub-humans with bull heads.

The subhuman's strong body did not resist at all. His flesh was torn apart, his bones were crushed, and his soul was devoured by the demon in the claws of fear.

However, in the eyes of other people in the airdrop chamber, their comrades just disappeared suddenly. They were lucky to be summoned by the gods and ascended to the kingdom of gods.

They whispered the Chaos Scriptures, which were the true words written and spread by the Great Speaker himself.

"The Warp is above, we fight side by side for the future of mankind. We answer the call of the Warmaster and will overthrow the Corpse King's despicable rule of lies."

"We fight for fairness. Every mutant, every subhuman, every faith should be able to live freely and without restraint."

These mutants and subhumans who are willing to fight for the Warmaster have suffered torture and discrimination under the rule of the Empire for a long time, and now they finally have a chance for revenge.

They may not care who Horus is at all. What they care about is being able to rely on the power of the Warmaster to launch a retaliatory attack on the Empire.

The airdrop pod collided violently with the anti-aircraft fire from the ground, and lost more than 50% of the vanguard troops before landing on the ground.

However, those mutants, who had already gone completely crazy, were still waving their laser rifles and shooting at any living thing they saw.

Many mortal cultists who believed in the Blood God, under the guidance of the scarlet skull banner in the hands of the leading priest, howled and waved their sharp scimitars, and pounced on the imperial defenders with brass melee weapons.

The effect of the Empire's long-range weapons on them was weakened by more than half, and it was common to see a mortal cultist without any armor on his body, relying on his own flesh and blood to withstand the ravages of arc weapons.

"For the Emperor!"

The Empire's Solar Auxiliary Army shouted loudly in the communication channel.

These mortal warriors implanted with the seal of thought effectively resisted the Chaos pollution emanating from the rebels. They operated the heavy machine guns fearlessly in the face of danger, and beat the naked cultists and mutants into pieces amid the roar of the machine spirits.

You have to know that these heavy guns are completely prepared for the rebel Astartes. A mortal's body will explode into a ball of blood mist if hit by one.

The rebels' first wave of attack had already completely failed before it even began, and the survival time of those mortals could only be counted in seconds. The artillery units in the rear were constantly correcting the new coordinates. When the roaring shells tore through the air with a heart-wrenching scream, the rebels and their airborne pods would be blown into scorching ash.

More laser launchers like light prism towers infused each other's energy together, and then instantly burned the rebels in an area to ashes.

The elite Solar Auxiliary Army crushed these cannon fodder like bugs, while the rebel offensive came one after another like a tsunami.

The second batch of airdrop pods fell to the ground, carrying not those cultists who were mere cannon fodder, but legitimate rebel auxiliary forces.

The elite Czonian Headhunter auxiliary troops displayed extraordinary tactical qualities. They used the airborne pods and super-heavy tanks that landed together as cover and temporarily achieved a balance of power with the Empire's defenders.

Taking advantage of those few seconds of gap, wizards from the Word Bearers also landed on the surface of the Terra Palace. They used sacrificial rituals to summon a large number of Warp creatures and those demon engines sponsored by the Lord of the Forge.

Numerous demon engines gathered into a seemingly unstoppable wave, and elite auxiliary troops including Cthunian Headhunters and Seleucid Breastmen followed behind these monsters and launched an attack on positions deeper in the palace.

Especially those mortal auxiliary troops belonging to the Iron Warriors Legion, their combat style is extremely brave, cruel, bloody and brutal.

These Seleucid Breastplate Soldiers did not consider themselves human at all. They were loaded with deadly melta bombs and micro-nuclear weapons, and attacked the Imperial positions under the cover of Land Raiders, Typhon Heavy Siege Tanks, and Mammoth Heavy Assault Transport Vehicles.

The Solar Auxiliary Army also immediately became aware of these dangerous opponents. Once the heavy laser cannon detonated a mortal warrior, the detonation of the weapons he was carrying would also blow his comrades into the sky.

However, they continued to fight and finally blew down the first line of defense of the imperial army after more than half of their soldiers were killed.

More mortal auxiliary troops drove the Iron Warriors Legion's large number of Cyberrus tanks, Scorpion tanks, and Thunder Tanks, plus a large number of modified Basilisks to launch close-range artillery attacks on the palace.

"The Imperial Palace will also tremble under our firepower!"

"Steel inside and out, steel inside and out!"

The extremely rare siege guards in the auxiliary army fell into a state of madness. This special force was once the most powerful siege elite veterans under Perturabo during the Olympia period. They were all masters of destruction and kept a large number of dangerous weapons for killing.

Various atomic shells and phosphide weapons were unscrupulously launched on the battlefield, without even the slightest regard for the safety of their own people. The Iron Warriors displayed their art of killing, and the precisely configured firepower put great pressure on the Imperial defenders.

But unfortunately, these traitorous mortal auxiliary forces were fighting against the solar auxiliary forces that had been strengthened by the ideological stamp.

In this era, no mortal legion can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Solar Auxiliary Army.

The Sun Auxiliary Army survived the first round of fierce bombardment in a tight position, and immediately, with the support of aerial firepower, accurately killed the particularly fierce ground artillery fire.

Fighter planes and heavy gunboats were hovering in the sky, and fighter planes from the rebels also entered the atmosphere, hunting down and pursuing the Empire's air forces.

The Space Marine forces of both sides have not yet joined the war, but the intensity of the war has already soared to a fever pitch.

The intentions of the commanders of both sides were very clear, which was to use the cheapest mortal troops to kill as many opponents as possible and force the opponents to send Astartes to join the battlefield first.
