Chapter 144: 256
Chapter 256 Colossus
"Warmaster! The Vulcan Titan Legion has defeated the Imperial Knights! However, among the opposing Titans, there are some models that we have never seen before. They have poor mobility, but their firepower is surprisingly fierce!
They were like mobile artillery positions, causing great trouble for our advance."
Not far away, the wreckage of several Warhound-class Titans were scattered on the ground.
These divine machines were destroyed by the Thundergod brought by Gao Yi.
Although the rebels destroyed a large number of Thors on paper, these vehicles that only required one driver would always return to the battlefield after being repaired by the SCV.
The existence of an internal auxiliary combat system also allows it to be easily controlled as a turret in emergency situations.
At this time, Abaddon was holding the magic sword tightly in his hand, and the body of a royal guard was hanging on the claw of vengeance on his other arm.
Beside him lay the bodies of the loyalists and the Black Legion.
Loyalist Astartes from various Chapters.
Battle Sisters, priests of the Mechanicus, and a large number of Cadian soldiers dressed in combat uniforms.
He failed to stop everyone, and some of them still escaped.
Ordinary traitors were stripping off the combat uniforms of these Cadian soldiers and using the still usable ones as their own combat equipment.
They have already experienced how much these equipments can improve the combat effectiveness of ordinary mortal troops.
There are even some black oil guys who are trying to attach demons to these equipments to make them work again.
When Abaddon appeared on the battlefield, a group of chapter commanders immediately organized a decapitation operation.
Although they killed many of Abaddon's guards, they obviously failed in the end.
During the battle, these soldiers in combat uniforms actually relied on their own strength to kill several of his veteran soldiers wearing Terminator armor in frontal combat.
This would have been impossible before.
Abaddon threw the body of the Custodian aside.
He hated these guys who claimed to be the masterpieces of the Corpse King.
The other party caused him a lot of trouble and killed many of his men.
Abaddon's silence let the Black Legion warriors know that he was obviously very dissatisfied with the progress at this time.
The already tough Cadian soldiers, with the blessing of combat uniforms, made Chaos suffer unexpected losses in every inch of their positions.
The living soldiers died, and the widow mines hidden in the positions could also cause considerable casualties to the troops that broke into the positions.
Abaddon's Black Legion are paving the way with their lives.
If it weren't for the demon army summoned by witchcraft, Abaddon found that his own troops might not be able to break through the opponent's defense line.
Even mortals can easily pose a threat to demons...
The target of the troops led by Abaddon himself is Krave Bastion, where there is a shield array that protects the entire planet.
But the Cadians have invested countless resources in their last fortress. Although Creed is no longer here, the alpha wolf Logan is responsible for the defense here.
Galadon of the Imperial Fist also sent several soldiers to guide the defense of the bastion position.
Abaddon looked towards the direction of the Blackrock Plains again. The concentrated appearance of the Demon Primarchs caused the sky over there to show abnormal phenomena.
He had thought that these demon primarchs in the void would be enough to deal with the Empire's warships.
However, the report from the Void Fleet was that they had voluntarily retreated to Cadia.
Although Abaddon was also a little surprised, it was also a good thing for him. The attack launched by the Demon Primarch on the Blackrock Plains could share the pressure here.
When the Daemon Primarch began his killing spree on the Blackrock Plains, Abaddon clearly felt that the resistance here was much smaller.
"We can't stop! Let the demon army and mortal believers clear the way! Cover the attack of the Vulcan Army.
No matter how strong their infantry is, they can't resist the attack of the Titans!"
The two Titan legions are still the most powerful fighting force in his hands.
Responsible for the defense of Klav Bastion at this time were 20 Kashezen regiments belonging to Cadia, nearly 100 ordinary infantry regiments of Cadia and nearly 50 astral legions from other worlds, while the Space Wolves, Dark Angels, and Howling Griffins were also stationed here.
Dius and another Guardsman were in the Blackstone Plains, while the other two Guardsmen were in the Krave Bastion.
"The raid failed... There are too many divine machines on the opposite side. The Thunder Gods of those Rogue Traders cannot bring about a decisive victory. What are those priests of the Order of the Holy Mechanic still doing in the foundry that has long run out of forging resources? Why don't they come here to help defend together!"
Logan of the Space Wolves said dissatisfiedly.
Although these priests provided them with great help, it was not a reason for them to avoid fighting.
"Don't be so harsh on each other. We don't have time to care about these issues now. The only thing we need to consider is to defend this place. This place is as important as the Black Stone Plains."
Dark Angel Korahir said.
"Sir! There's a situation! The soldier on the lookout said there's an emergency!"
A Cadian soldier came in panicking from the doorway.
"Calm down! What happened? Did Chaos launch another strong attack somewhere?"
"No... no... Emperor, aliens... there are many aliens, and there are alien mechanical creations tens of meters high. They... they are attacking those traitors. They suddenly appeared on the battlefield!"
"What are you talking about? Where did the aliens come from on this planet? Are the fleets outside Chaos just for show? Even if there really are aliens, how did they break through the fleet outside and enter Cadia!
"There is no place in Cadia to hide these alien machines that are over 60 meters high? Could it be that the Eldar used the webway?"
The Astartes obviously didn't believe it.
"Not the Eldar! I swear to the God-Emperor!"
Everyone looked at each other, and then immediately rushed from the command room to the front line.
When they saw the scene before them, they also believed what the soldier said... The word "a lot" is not even the right word. This is not a lot at all, it is simply a sea of aliens.
A sea of purple insects seemed to be occupying the entire earth, and the sky was filled with alien insect air units.
Even here at the front line, you can hear the roar of the alien insects, which is so loud that it hurts your eardrums.
This is the largest appearance of the Zerg in the Warhammer world.
Everyone looked at the direction where the alien insects appeared, which was the foundry.
The voices of the priests of the Order of the Holy Mechanicus were also heard through their communicators.
The priests told them that these were friendly forces!
"Are these aliens allies? For the Lord's sake..."
The mortal soldiers stuck their heads out of their positions and looked outside.
They looked at their superiors, their eyes were all asking...what should they do next?
The officers were also confused. You ask me? How could I know what to do?
And the Zerg shown now are not all. The tunnel worms are still constantly transporting the Zerg on Char to Cadia.
It wasn't just the Zerg, the Colossi also appeared on Cadia without warning.
At this time, Kerrigan was standing on top of a colossus.
She looked down at the land before her, and saw the Chaos Army advancing.
Artanis used existing resources to build a total of 30 Colossi.
Three Colossi can destroy a civilization with rudimentary interstellar travel technology in a short period of time.
Although there is a big gap in civilization, its efficiency can also be seen.
These four-legged war machines with crab-like legs tower into the sky, and the Warlord-class Titans are much smaller than them.
The Protoss' most advanced shield technology is applied to it, and its means of attack is thermal rays.
They can clear ground units with extremely high efficiency, and can be thought of as hot melt that can output continuously without cooldown.
The only drawback of the Colossus is that it cannot attack the air...
But Kerrigan's presence makes up for its biggest disadvantage.
The energy consumed by unmanned war machines like the Colossus is terrifying. The creation of these thirty Colossi left Artanis with no more resources to equip them with Protoss air escort units.
Every unit and war machine of the Protoss is very powerful, but each of them is a big consumer of psionic energy.
Fortunately, there is no gap between the Protoss and the Zerg here.
It is impossible to see such close cooperation between the Protoss and the Zerg in interstellar.
The vanguard of the Zerg has already begun exchanging fire with the demon legions and mortal traitors
