Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 238

  Chapter 238 Rise of the Primarch: The Siege of Macragge

In the silent darkness, the proud soldiers of the God of Myriad Opportunities are silent. Countless gears, transmission shafts and heavy-duty transmission belts are connected together. Those steel bodies that far exceed the limit of mortal body structure are silent in the darkness. They are waiting to be awakened. Waiting for the call of the war horn.

The horn of war sounded, and with the surging power, all the gears turned, the bite of steel and the rapid pulling and roar of the drive shaft converged into the sound of the horn of war, and the sound of the mechanical horn that belonged exclusively to the God of Myriad Machines echoed in the In the dark space, it echoed inside the steel armor.

Accompanied by intensive mechanical rotation, the behemoth slowly raised its head from the bunker, and the huge circular base was lifted up with powerful force, and the arc-shaped golden cover on the top of the head slid open to both sides, and with the opening of the gap, Open it, and a ray of light is projected in the dark space, projecting on the surface of the steel body.

Swirling artillery fire roared overhead, and the explosion fire mixed with sunlight sprinkled on the gold and silver steel surface. As the heavy drive shafts erected around in the darkness rumbled, the giant platform also got closer to the light above the head. The soul of war is also getting closer to the light.

The pride of the huge Omnissia rose from the darkness, the golden circular platform reached the top and the connecting point shouted, and as the card slots around were quickly turned and locked, the huge metal platform finally carried the emperor. The pride of the emperor and the **** of all opportunities reappeared under the sun.

Under the flickering flames of explosions all over the sky, under the constant flickering light of the void shield, this powerful war machine raised its head, and the six turbolaser cannons that were as tall as skyscrapers slowly raised their heads. , the U-shaped logo of Ultramar also lifted up and flashed in the sun.

The huge turbolaser cannon slowly turned its muzzle, and as his six silent cannons aimed at the chaotic battleship above the sky, it locked on, and after a short silence gap, it burst out a blast that shook the earth. Roaring, the angry roar that belonged to the Emperor and the God of All Opportunities shot at the battleship above the sky.

The scorching red light of the orbital-level heavy-duty land-based laser cannon illuminated all the buildings. The capital on the main star of Ultramar, the eternal home of the Ultramarines, and the city of glory, the pearl of the Far East Starfield of the Empire, were completely illuminated. All the glass of the tall buildings reflect red light.

The red light also illuminated the people behind the glass of the building. Captain Mikael stood behind the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Ultramarines Central Battlegroup Fortress. The scorching red light was projected on his face through the huge floor-to-ceiling window glass. The scarlet light Mang completely illuminated the sapphire blue armor, causing all the golden threads to flash red.

Mikael's face was outlined by the red light. He looked at the roaring turbo laser cannon outside the window, not just that giant cannon, all the fortresses in the City of Glory, all the city walls and all the orbital weapons in the city. When the artillery was fired, the artillery fire spread all over the sky towards the starry sky, and the barrage was used to fight the barrage.

The company commander looked up at the void shield covering the entire city above his head. The flickering void shield blocked the bombing from the orbit. Those chaotic battleships fired terrifying shells towards the ground. Except for the part intercepted by the ground-based anti-aircraft weapons, all They all hit the void shield.

  Mikael looked at the tumbling explosion flames, and the entire sky over Ultramar was engulfed in flames. The third company commander of the Ultramarines frowned and looked at the sky angrily.

"How is the Ultramar Defense Fleet?" Mikael asked, behind him in the busy fortress headquarters, there was a lot of voices, wearing the unique blue of the Ultramarine Auxilia, with mortal soldiers with Roman-like breastplates They come and go.

  Countless information, battle situations and orders are sent here, and then gathered by the Ultramarines and auxiliary army generals, and then passed on to various battlefields in Ultramar, whether it is on the surface or in space.

  "The defensive fleet is struggling to meet the enemy. The Sixth Squadron has suffered heavy losses and is retreating. Company commander, the situation is very bad."

  The operator sitting in front of the thinker terminal said that beside him was a long row of data terminal interfaces. Dozens of technicians sat side by side in front of the white marble wall, and the officers ran among them repeatedly passing information and orders.

The operator turned his head to look at Mikael. His head with the external socket was illuminated by the flames of the explosion. The operator almost instinctively raised his hand to cover the firelight outside the window, but Mikael did not even blink and continued to look directly at The billowing flames overhead.

"The Fleet Command requested that the 6th Fleet be withdrawn, and the 12th Fleet of the reserve echelon may be able to buy some more time." The operator looked at Mikael and said, with the operator and everyone behind his back, Mikael With his hands behind his back, his iron fist was clenched behind his back.

   "Agreed, let the Fleet Command must guard the star port and the orbital elevator no matter what, it is possible to reach the reinforcements and must rely on the landing." "Follow the company commander!"

  The operator immediately turned around and began to convey orders, but almost immediately someone raised his head, and the officer in front of the holographic tactical platform beside the operator raised his head and shouted at Mikael.

   "Master Mikael! The city of Yalmako on the east side of Ultramar has fallen, and the air defense network on the east side of the mainland is completely paralyzed. The Black Legion and the Rebel Legion are landing on a large scale. We can't stop them!"

Another bad news, Mikael thought in his heart, it seems that there is no good news in the entire five hundred worlds today, as if the end is really coming, but whether this is the end of the five hundred worlds or not, Mikael doesn't care. Will panic, he is the Son of Guilliman, he is the Emperor's angel of death, he will not be afraid.

Mikael turned around and strode to the holographic platform. The officers of the auxiliary army and several Ultramarines at the table moved aside. They made room for Captain Mikael. The company commander stood in front of the holographic platform and watched There are floating beacons on the large square table.

Mikael pointed to a red beacon in front of him, then to two blue ones on the opposite side, "Order the 8th Armored Division of the Auxiliary, atop the 667th Infantry Regiment, to keep the Black Legion's vanguard at Farami at all costs. S Pass."

"Transfer two Lightning fighter squadrons to them." Mikael said, and the Ultramarines officer on one side leaned up and whispered, "Company commander, these two squadrons are our last atmospheric reserves. If we send them Going out of the City of Glory will lose the assault landing units facing the atmosphere."

Mikael glanced at the officer. He frowned and looked at the holographic map in silence for a moment, then raised his fist and slammed it on the edge of the map, "We will be finished sooner or later if we don't block the traitor offensive from the east. The order remains the same. The general reserve team is all on top!"

   "It's my lord!" The auxiliary army officer stood at attention and saluted, and then strode to the distant communication center to deliver orders. Mikael looked at the distant officer and turned his head to look at the terrible battle situation in front of him, even in despair.

The map is full of red warning beacons, each of which means an enemy force, and the blue ones are the Ultramarines' own strength, and now the blue signs are rapidly decreasing, they The scope of control is also rapidly shrinking far beyond expectations.

Mikael frowned and scanned the map, "What's the current front-line troop ratio?" the company commander asked, and the Ultramarines officer on one side nodded and pointed to the red front line ahead. The real-time dynamic front line is still very close to the Glory Front city.

The officer pointed to the battle line in the distance, "Currently the ratio of the enemy to us is 12 to 1. The Chaos traitors have brought a large number of demons, and the main force of the rebel legion is all over the place. The Word Bearers and the Night Lords have controlled the northwest plate. Death The guards are storming the Lumas area."

  Mikael's eyes moved with the battle line, and he followed the officer to see the terrible situation in front of him. The power of three rebel legions was projected to the surface of Ultramar.

"Erebus, the shameful traitor of the Word Bearers, caused a lot of massacres in the northwest. He joined forces with the Night Lords to inflict countless atrocities on the local area. According to the description of the auxiliary army who barely broke through and escaped, they built a flesh and blood altar locally. The bones of a million of our brethren have forged a Chaos portal through the Warp to allow the Daemon horde to pass through the portal to the land of Ultramar, where a great company of the Space Wolves arrived and was intercepting them with our warriors, trying to Organized defenses, but not very well."

"The Emperor! May this **** die!" The young soldier on the side roared angrily. Mikael glanced at him and raised his hand to hold his shoulder. Mikael nodded to the soldier, " We'll make him pay, I promise you Farr."

The young warrior looked at the map and clenched his fists. His hometown used to be there, but now it has disappeared. All his relatives and friends have disappeared. Angry anger filled the chest of young Fal, and he desperately wanted to Going to settle accounts with this bastard.

   But he also understands that, as a qualified Ultramarine, he must abide by the scriptures, follow the tactical rules and suggestions, and the scriptures do not allow or encourage him to take personal revenge.

Farr took an angry breath, trying to suppress his anger and nodded to Captain Mikael, Mikael also nodded to him and then looked back at the holographic map, "Continue Sergeant, we don't have that much time. "

  The sergeant major nodded. He stood on the map and pointed his iron finger to the area on the other side, which had completely turned into a sickly gray-green.

"While the Word Bearers and the Night Lords were wreaking havoc, another traitor army, the Death Guard, occupied the southern area. According to the report from the scouts of the 10th Company, they found that the Death Guard was spreading Nurgle's plague locally. The extremely strong phagocytic virus caused devastating damage to the local defenders and also led to the fall of the area."

Mikael frowned and looked at the plagued area, and the company commander turned to look at the sergeant major, "What about countermeasures?" "We have withdrawn all the troops that are not infected yet, and we may the benevolent Emperor bless their souls and may he forgive us."

The sergeant hesitated for a moment, clenched his fists on his chest and confessed to the emperor, "In order to prevent the spread of the infection, we ordered the frontline troops to execute all suspected and confirmed infected soldiers, and their corpses were burned centrally. The cities in the area also followed the order A flame bombardment was carried out, with or without survivors."

   "The Plague of Nurgle has been brought under control for the time being, but we have also paid a heavy loss, Company Commander." The sergeant bowed his head and said, although he knew that this was a last resort, the sergeant chief still bowed his head in great grief and remained silent.

Mikael pressed the sergeant's shoulder, and the latter raised his head and nodded to Mikael, "I'm fine, company commander, this is what we have to do, but we must find a way to solve the current predicament, otherwise the eastern defense line It's a matter of time before China's collapse.”

Mikael nodded approvingly. He stood in front of the map and looked at the battle line in front of him. After some hard thinking, Mikael got up and pointed to the battle zone ahead, pointing to the group of Ultramarines on the front line, "Evacuate all the troops on the periphery , Let the Space Wolves stop yelling and killing people, give up their position and shrink back to the city of Glory, let them and the general reserve team build the final line of defense."

"Notify the fourth company, the eighth company and the ninth company are all pressed up, and there is no condition to save their strength." Mikael looked at the map and sighed. He raised his eyes and looked at the last line of defense. Trama is over.

   "Wake up all fearless brothers, regardless of age and stability." "Company commander, is this?" "I know the sergeant, now we have to fight our old books."

Mikael propped his hands apart on the map and said earnestly, "It's meaningless if you can't defend Ultramar, wake up all the fearless brothers, the 10th company and all the reserve recruits are fully armed and ready to go into battle. In the name of the Emperor, we shall fight to the end."

  The sergeant sighed and nodded, "I understand the company commander, I will give the order, may the Emperor bless you." "May the Emperor bless you."

   Mikael watched the sergeant major turn and leave. Just as Mikael got up, the operator on the side turned around with wide eyes and shouted, "Commander Mikael! There is an urgent message!"

"I have received enough bad news today, operator, what is it this time?" Mikael sighed and turned his head to look, but the operator's eyes were full of excitement, a kind of sincere ecstasy, Soon Mikael saw the surrounding mortals cheering, they hugged each other and cheered.

   Mikael and Farr looked at each other, completely confused about the situation. The operator looked at Mikael with an almost crazy smile on his face, then turned his head and looked at the screen in front of him again, as if to make sure that he was not really crazy.

"Company commander, we have detected a dense subspace transition signal. The signal has been verified to be an expedition fleet of the entire company of the Dark Angels, and a full three squadrons of the Imperial Navy! They have completed the transition and have all invested In battle, praise the Emperor! We are saved!"

  The mortals cheered and jumped, but Mikael frowned slightly differently, "Who is their commander?"

"The identity has not been clarified yet, but a friendly ship sent a message that he is on his way to the surface and will soon land on the tarmac outside the fortress." The operator looked at the screen and said, everyone around him was happy Laughing, the operator is also in a good mood, but Mikael still has some doubts.

"What's the matter? Company Commander." Farr asked from the side, Mikael shook his head and turned to the exit of the headquarters, "Stay here to supervise the execution of the order, I'll go see who saved the horse so well Kurag."

   Mikael walked out of the headquarters, and Fal walked to the holographic map in a little confusion, and his finger waved the holographic map to switch its image to the space battlefield.

  In that tragic space battlefield, a new beacon appeared, a warship beacon named Infinite Frontier.
