Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 209 Rift Fortress Lord, Fifth Company Commander
Tie Hui: "?"

"I am the Dragonscale Horse!"

Tie Hui was stunned for a moment, then jumped up in shock and shouted, "Run! Run! Contact the Rift Fortress main battle group! Call Bastian Grixx immediately!"

Upon hearing the answer, Tie Hui no longer cared about maintaining a leader's image. Now he had to run, run fast, he had to survive.

Damn it, they only have one combat barge left, and there are only 32 Astartes still alive and capable of fighting on board.

This is an Astartes with all its ammunition and energy depleted. All that's left is a power armor suit, and you're telling me we've arrived in the Dalowa Sector?

The central supply area of ​​the Nakmonde Corridor, which was controlled by the Black Legion's spiky-haired Abaddon.

And it was Darlowa, who had been under the complete command of the Starseer Harken... He doesn't even know how he died.

In his memory alone, there were at least ten Chaos Warbands stationed in this star sector.

Not to mention the defensive structures these war gangs have set up in this area.

Like those thousand-son reflectors, those bastards, at the entropy amplifier of the non-material tidal station in Clarice.

Once this thing starts up, they're all doomed; they'll die on the spot in seconds.

boom--

Another explosion rang out at the warship, and the entire ship shook once again, even more violently than before.

This made Tie Hui and the other Astartes look grim. He looked around and, not caring about anything else, picked up his power sword, hung it on his waist, and then ran quickly toward the shield generator.

Apart from a few Astartes who were in the command center urgently coordinating energy distribution across the region, the remaining 32 Astartes were not present.

The rest, like Tie Hui, rushed to the various nodes that needed to be manned and activated, waiting for instructions from the command center.

People like Tie Hui, who also wield power swords, have arrived at various key locations.

For example, the power compartment and the shield generator in the warship's spacetime.

All of these places require personnel to be on duty and to operate them, but for a massive battle barge, 32 Astartes are ultimately a drop in the ocean.

Meanwhile, Tiberius in the command center took over all communications for the ship. He couldn't believe that all the mortals and oilers on this massive battle barge had died.

These guys are definitely still hiding in some corners. And Tiberius is very confident that the battle barge can withstand several enemy light spears or macro cannon attacks.

The combat barges were not originally designed to deal with space stations. They were equipped with extremely lethal weapons like the Astartes.

Therefore, its design concept is not only to carry Astartes to carry out missions, but its core essence is to use the heavy armor on the ship to quickly advance to the center of the enemy fleet, and then the fully armed Astartes board the ship to destroy the enemy's combat power from inside the enemy fleet.

Therefore, they were severely lacking in anti-ship firepower in ship-to-ship battles.

Therefore, the current situation is either to switch sides or to retreat.

But the most crucial point is that the current situation is different from the past!
The remaining Astartes on the warship are still short of food and ammunition, making them completely incapable of sustaining a boarding operation. Most importantly, the captain, command personnel, and crew are all currently missing.

Opidus Grokis was currently directing the strike cruiser Nightguard to speed out into a concealed area on the outskirts of the Dalowa system.

As the company commander of the Fifth Company of the Rift Fortress Main Battle Regiment, he was originally supposed to lead his company to sneak into the edge of the Dalowa system and then wage guerrilla warfare.

Furthermore, they also set up concealed locations in various places around Dalowa and in the planetary meteorite zone on its edge.

He had been planning to sneakily cause trouble for him this time, but the sudden commotion in the new district of Dalowa directly alarmed him, and the leader of the chapter, Bastian Grix, personally sent him a message, ordering him to enter Dalowa immediately.

Launch a surprise attack and, if necessary, rescue your allies. If rescue is not possible, then try to destroy key enemy outposts and facilities.

For example, the entropy amplifier of the Reflector's Clarice Nonmaterial Tidal Station, and the psionic scream facility of the Fear Lord.

Ideally, this should be combined with directly destroying the Blackrock Crown array on the planet's surface.

After understanding the general situation, Opidus Grokis also felt a headache coming on. He currently only had one strike cruiser, although it had a combination of 100 original Astartes, some Grey Knights, and Silent Sisters. Of course, this also included some Terminator armor, Redeemer Dreadnoughts, and other good stuff.

However, it would be quite difficult for him to penetrate the Dallowarne with a single ship and destroy the various important facilities guarded by so many Chaos Warbands.

But the orders had already been given, so we had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Just as their warship stealthily emerged from the meteorite bag, they immediately got a clear view of the battlefield situation.

Dozens of warships swarmed up from all over Dalowa and launched a frenzied attack on the lone imperial warship that had appeared out of nowhere.

He initially thought it was a lost warship, or perhaps it was on a warp jump to support some worlds on the dark side of the Empire, but had been accidentally swept here by warp turbulence.

Then these chaotic warships simply dispatched a few at random, capturing or destroying them. The other dozens or hundreds of warships remained stationary.

But looking at the situation now, something seems off. Not only are the dozens of warships moving forward accelerating wildly, but at other nodes and around the orbit of Palova planet, even more warships are slowly emerging and joining the fleet.

Opidus Grokis looked at the transmitted data analysis and became even more puzzled. It was clearly just an ordinary combat barge. Why would these Chaos forces mobilize such a large force?
Thinking back to the orders given to him by his own battle group leader, he couldn't help but wonder if there were any important items on that warship.

However, when the commanding crew reported that the keel number of that Imperial battle barge was not recorded in the Imperial ship code archives.

He immediately realized that this was unusual and began directing the warships to aim at the nearest chaotic outpost.

At the same time, they began marking key chaos defense devices that needed to be destroyed in various locations on the holographic screen.

He wanted to take advantage of the moment when Chaos's attention was completely drawn to secretly destroy several defensive devices from behind.

Give these chaotic traitors a sneak attack from behind, and catch them off guard.
