Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Orbital Bombardment
A Chaos Space Marine, whose body was marked with Chaos Runes and whose stature was obviously taller than the other Betrayeres, rushed out from the ruins and launched a powerful leap towards Gawain.
There is no doubt that this is a Chaos Chosen One whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary traitors.
"The Chosen One of Chaos?" Gawain's eyes were filled with disdain. "Too weak. You can't even make me feel the slightest sense of danger."
Gawain's undisguised contempt deeply hurt the Chaos Chosen One's heart.
In a flash, the chainsaw sword, which exuded a dilapidated aura, had already reached the top of the Primarch's head. In just a moment, the chainsaw sword blessed by Chaos would be able to cut Gawain's neck!
And Gawain's head would become the most dazzling trophy for this Chaos Chosen One.
But ideals are full, while reality is very skinny.
The Chaos Chosen thought they were as fast as lightning, but in the eyes of the Primarch they were not even as fast as an eighty-year-old Hive City grandmother.
The standard chainsaw sword in Gawain's hand made a roaring sound, and a sharp gust of wind suddenly blew past. Then, the world in the eyes of the Chosen One of Chaos began to spin.
Until the last moment before his head fell to the ground, this pathetic traitor was still fantasizing about killing the Primarch.
The Primarch's shocking fighting power brought great encouragement to the Sons of the Fire Dragon.
"Follow me and charge!" The commander of the Salamander Squad raised his arm and shouted, "Only the blood of the betrayers can wash away the anger and hatred flowing deep in our souls."
The Salamanders launched another charge. Excitement, hatred and rage, three completely different emotions greatly enhanced the Astartes' combat effectiveness.
With the help of the Primarch, this battle has turned into a massacre! The traitors have tried to resist, but who can defeat a Primarch?
The number of traitors is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The furious salamanders killed people and blood flowed like a river!
Amid the roar of the loyalists, the head of the last traitor rolled into the dust! So far, the traitors have paid the price for their blasphemous behavior.
But unfortunately, the battle did not end there.
After losing contact with ground forces for several hours, the Chaos warships anchored in the planet's orbit had already sensed something was wrong.
After confirming the presence of loyalists on the surface, the Chaos warships immediately launched an orbital strike.
In an instant, dense artillery fire fell from the sky like raindrops! Burning lasers, light spears lingering with filthy power, macro cannons covered with mutants...
Almost endless artillery fire covered the entire land. In a very short time, the place where the Astartes were originally located became a bottomless pit.
The bodies of the traitors that remained on it, along with the ashes on the ground, were burned into diamond-like crystals by the terrifying high temperature generated by the orbital bombardment.
Under such horrific artillery fire, no living creature could remain unharmed! Even a powerful child of the Emperor could not escape the fate of being reduced to ashes in the high temperature and shock wave.
Inside the command cabin of the Chaos battleship.
The Lord of the Black Legion, Carlos the Destroyer, was gazing at the deep pit on the surface with satisfaction.
Although nearly a hundred ancient soldiers lost their lives, the Black Legion ultimately had the last laugh in this war.
The alien creation "Hand of Darkness" recovered from Purgatory will become the biggest trump card in the hands of the Chaos Warmaster! In the near future, the Black Legion will eventually lead Chaos to completely destroy the Empire.
When Carlos thought of countless imperial worlds wailing in pain and despair, he could feel a trembling pleasure from the depths of his soul.
Of course, the current situation is obviously not suitable for imagining the future! After all, Purgatory is the territory of the Empire, and Chaos warships staying here for a long time will easily attract the attention of the Empire.
In order to avoid more trouble, it is best to recover the Hand of Darkness as soon as possible!
"Drive the warship into the planet's atmosphere, send the drop pod to the planet's surface, and prepare to carry out the recovery mission! For the Chaos Warmaster, glory and victory will eventually belong to us."
Carlos's face was filled with enthusiasm for the Chaos Warmaster. In order to avoid any mistakes on this trip, the Lord of the Black Legion will lead his own guards to personally carry out the recovery mission.
At the same time, deep in the ruins of the hive city.
The Primarchs and the Sons of the Fire Dragon did not turn into ashes as the betrayers imagined!
Long before the orbital bombardment came, the Primarch had already sensed the coming of the crisis! Just before the artillery fire was about to cover the earth, the Primarch led the Sons of the Fire Dragon to hide in the most solid structural layer of the hive.
In the absence of direct bombardment, the structural layer where the loyalists are located can be regarded as the safest place.
But safety is only temporary.
The Chaos warships are still lurking in the sky. The betrayers will never leave easily before obtaining the [Hand of Darkness].
When the traces of the Sons of Fire Dragon are once again exposed to the Black Legion, the betrayers will definitely use all means to completely kill all loyalists.
Considering the firepower equipped on the two Chaos battleships, it would not be difficult to completely plow the land within a radius of 100 kilometers near the ruins of the hive city through orbital bombardment.
Just when the loyalists were in a dilemma, another unexpected visitor from outside Purgatory came to this land of death that had not been visited by anyone for thousands of years.
It was a golden warship with gorgeous paintwork, and an extremely large Gothic church stood on it! Pure and loud hymns were played in the church, and an epic and majestic atmosphere was blowing in the face.
Judging from the logo on the side of the warship, this warship belongs to the Throne Court. And the only ones who are qualified to drive the Throne Court warship are the guardians of the throne - the Custodians!
After the Horus Heresy, the great Emperor was forced to ascend the Golden Throne due to his serious injuries! And the powerful Custodians took the initiative to assume the responsibility of guarding the throne.
For ten thousand years since then, the Imperial Guards have been guarding the Golden Throne! The legends left by the "Golden Legion" in the galaxy also disappeared with the retreat of the Imperial Guards.
And today, the names of the Imperial Guards and the "Golden Legion" will once again resound throughout this dark and crazy galaxy.
The Imperial Guards warship did not hide its intentions at all. The moment the warship entered the planet's atmosphere, the Golden Legion launched a fierce boarding attack on the Chaos warship.
The boarding torpedo carrying the Adeptus Custodians slid out of the torpedo compartment! Under the terrified gaze of the betrayer, the hot melt ray installed at the front of the boarding torpedo automatically activated, and the terrifying high temperature instantly melted through the side deck of the Chaos warship.
With a dull roar, the boarding torpedo weighing several tons slammed into the gap in the side, crushing several traitors who came to check the situation into meat paste.
