Warhammer 40k: Terra Collector

As mentioned before, from the glorious Great Crusade to the present ten thousand years... the configuration of the naval fleet and the Astartes equipment have undergone several earth-shaking upgrades.

A large part of the tactics of the Great Crusade are no longer suitable for the dark and crazy battlefields of 40k.

But in some cases, there are still a few tactics that can shake the balance of war.

And boarding battle is one of them.

Following the will of the commander, the fallen Iron Warriors will use a boarding battle as precise and efficient as a scalpel... to completely destroy the weak resistance of the loyalists.

Under the emotionless command of the Lord of Steel, more than four digits of Iron Warriors betrayers boarded torpedoes and various boarding vehicles... and launched a fierce offensive towards the location of the Imperial Fleet.

The boarding torpedoes loaded with traitors dragged dazzling tail flames, piercing the cold void like a shining meteor...

For the boarding torpedoes and boarding vehicles blessed by Chaos, the long distance of nearly 10,000 kilometers was just a fleeting moment.

When the array composed of boarding torpedoes and boarding vehicles came to a position less than 500 kilometers away from the Imperial Fleet...the auspicious instruments and divination arrays carried on the Imperial warships discovered these malicious uninvited guests.

As the top ten elite troops in the entire empire, most of the Imperial soldiers led by the rear admiral are veterans who have served for more than half a century...

For these veterans who have experienced countless tragic wars, the existence of Chaos Demons and traitors is not a big secret.

The experienced naval crew members quickly guessed the intentions of the traitors.

Although the fallen Iron Warriors have betrayed the glory of the Golden Throne, in the past ten thousand years...the equipment of these extremely resource-scarce traitors has not been updated much.

But even so, this group of traitors is still the flesh and blood weapon created by the Emperor for war.

As the Lord of Iron expected, there is no Astartes stationed in the Imperial fleet commanded by the Rear Admiral.

Although most of the naval warriors have been equipped with exoskeleton power armor, compared with the real Angel of Death, the power obtained by mortals with external forces is still fragile.

If the Iron Warriors traitors' boarding tactics are successfully implemented, the Imperial fleet will inevitably face a devastating blow.

Without the clamp of the Imperial Fleet, the fallen traitors can easily occupy the planetary orbit of the fortress world Cadia... and then use the orbital bombardment of extermination to completely crush the last resistance of the loyalists.

Once the Black Stone Building Complex hidden deep underground in Cadia is completely destroyed, the blasphemous Eye of Terror will lose its last restraint.

By then, the tide-like Chaos Power will surge out of the Eye of Terror! The entire galaxy will be completely split into two parts by this malice from the gods...

It will be an extremely dark and desperate future!

In order to prevent such a dark future from truly falling upon the physical universe, loyal imperial warriors are even willing to sacrifice their lives and souls.

"Attention all warships! Energy is fully supplied, and the defensive firepower network is activated at maximum power!" The angry words of the rear admiral echoed in the communication band of the warship.

"Attention all lower-level crew members, no matter what the cost, the boarding torpedoes of the traitors must be intercepted..." The words of the rear admiral were tinged with sadness, "Your sacrifice will become the firewood for the Empire's progress!"

"Loyal warriors, may our souls... eventually be able to stand beside the great golden throne!"

The words of the rear admiral were full of generosity and passion! The slightly younger naval warriors were full of fighting spirit under this passionate speech.

But the naval veterans who had served for more than half a century did not show any emotion.

For this group of vicissitudes of life, loyalty to the Emperor and mankind has long been engraved in the depths of their souls.

Even without any verbal encouragement, they would still choose to sacrifice their blood and souls for the great Emperor in such a desperate situation.

The loyal naval warriors were stationed at their posts, waiting for the attack from the Chaos Space Marines with full concentration.

When the traitors' boarding torpedoes and boarding vehicles were still 300 kilometers away from the Imperial Fleet, the Rear Admiral who had been silent finally issued an attack order.

"Attack! Let the Emperor's majestic wrath fall on these damned traitors!!"

Following the will of the Rear Admiral, every naval crew member pulled the trigger in his hand.

Almost in an instant, the defensive firepower network mounted on the side of the Imperial warship began to spew out red anger.

Hundreds of warships opened fire at the same time, even in this cold and crazy galaxy... it was a rare and brilliant scene.

There was no medium for sound transmission in the cold void.

But under the influence of the subspace rift, this universe has long possessed some strange characteristics similar to the sea of ​​souls.

The most direct manifestation of this strange characteristic is the sound waves that can be transmitted in a vacuum.

The deafening roar echoed in this cold void...

Along with the roars of the navy soldiers, millions of metal warheads were like a surging metal torrent... interweaving into a web of death.

No living creature can pass through this firepower network intact! Even if it is a heavily armored boarding vehicle, it must pay an extremely painful price to pass through the defense of the Imperial Warriors.

Most of the boarding torpedoes and boarding vehicles loaded with Iron Warriors are old models produced during the Great Crusade ten thousand years ago.

These old boarding torpedoes are not equipped with deflection points or void shields to deflect solid firepower.

Even if they have the blessing from the Chaos Gods, this cannot change the most essential characteristics and structural defense of these vehicles.

When the fallen Iron Warriors entered the Imperial defense firepower network, they immediately felt the raging wrath of the Emperor...

In almost a few seconds, more than three boarding torpedoes were torn to pieces by the dense defense firepower network.

After losing the protection of the life support device in the boarding torpedo, the Chaos Space Marines in the vehicle... were soon thrown into the cold galaxy by the terrifying attraction.

Even Chaos Space Marines blessed by the gods cannot survive in the cold void for a long time! And the life support system inside the power armor can only support two hours.

If no one rescues these traitors within two hours, then the end that awaits them... will be death from suffocation due to lack of oxygen.

Every Astartes is an extremely noble and proud demigod of war! !

Even though the traitors of the Iron Warriors have betrayed the glory of the throne, they still believe that their identity is a glorious warrior...

And the final fate of the warriors is undoubtedly to die on the battlefield! Suffocation is undoubtedly a naked insult to the proud Iron Warriors...

Although the defensive firepower composed of hundreds of Imperial warships is indeed very dense, with the support of the huge base of Iron Warriors... more than half of the boarding torpedoes and boarding vehicles still passed through the firepower network.

The malicious boarding vehicles cut through the cold void like a meteor, and then slammed into the most eye-catching flagship in the naval fleet.

Each Iron Warrior is a war master who has fought in countless tragic wars.

These fallen betrayers know very well that the flagship is the most important existence in a fleet.

In addition to serving as the command center, the flagship in the fleet is also the spiritual sustenance of other warships and the symbol of the entire fleet.

If the Iron Warriors can completely occupy this flagship, then this war against the Imperial Navy... the betrayers who have fallen into Chaos have basically won.

The blasphemous Iron Warriors have driven the boarding torpedoes and boarding vehicles to maximum power.

The tail flame emitting blue-purple light is like a dream! With the low roar of the engine, each boarding vehicle is wrapped in amazing and terrifying kinetic energy.

Although the armor mounted on the outside of the Imperial battleship is extremely heavy, facing the boarding vehicle wrapped in terrifying kinetic energy... the protection that the battleship armor can provide is still extremely limited.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the boarding vehicle wrapped in terrifying turbulence cuts through the space like a meteor... and then fiercely chisels a large hole in the side of the Imperial battleship.

At this moment, the pressure relief valve on the boarding vehicle started automatically.

A gray-white mist with a cold breath gushed out, and in the sound of the airflow... the hatch with the Chaos Eight-pointed Star Rune slowly opened.

Iron Warriors exuding the power of Chaos came out of the cabin one after another! Even through a layer of cold mist, one can still feel the undisguised malice of these betrayers.

These hateful betrayers have long been prepared for a killing feast.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, the Iron Warriors still underestimated the determination of these naval warriors to fight to the death...

Similar to the [Astra Militarum] active among the stars, the Imperial Navy can also obtain various heavy firepower equipped by the Military Affairs Department every year.

But the [Wave] heavy machine guns that are widely equipped in the Imperial Navy are obviously not enough to threaten these Chaos Space Marines blessed by the gods to the greatest extent.

Faced with such a critical moment, the rear admiral did not care about any paperwork... He directly authorized the opening of the armory in the imperial warship to all naval crew members.

Except for some specific firepower, the armory on the imperial warship is in a state of blockade most of the time.

To lift the blockade, it is necessary to pass the triple certification of the warship captain, the chief mechanical priest, and the armory administrator.

The reason for such a complicated procedure is entirely because of the lessons learned by the Imperial Navy in the past ten thousand years.

Opening the warship armory can certainly enable the navy crew to have sufficient combat power in many scenarios at the fastest speed.

But in the case of naval crew members being contaminated by chaos, or Chaos believers mixed in them... opening the armory is an extremely suicidal approach.

In the past dark ten thousand years, more than a dozen imperial warships were occupied by mutinous navy or Chaos believers mixed in them.

And these imperial warships that suddenly rebelled on the battlefield, without exception, brought even more painful trauma to the precarious empire.

It is for this reason that, after several rebellions caused by Chaos contamination and Chaos followers... the Imperial Navy finally developed a comprehensive arsenal management plan.

Although this plan seems extremely lengthy, it can ensure to a great extent that the Imperial warships will not be attacked from within.

However, in an emergency, the captain of the warship has the right to bypass the other two managers and forcibly open the warship's armory.

At the moment when the fleet flagship is threatened by betrayers, it is obviously a very serious situation...

After several complicated and obscure verifications, the authority held by the rear admiral quickly opened the armory on the warship.

The navy crew who have served for more than half a century have emergency plans for all emergencies.

In just a few minutes, the loyal navy soldiers have received various weapons produced by the Mechanicus from the armory under the guidance of the commander.

It is no exaggeration to say that the loyal navy soldiers have armed themselves to the teeth.

Various types of hot melt rays, plasma cannons, individual missiles and heavy laser guns have been deployed in various channels of the warship.

The loyal naval warriors will use their shocking courage and sacrifice to let the Emperor's judgment fall on these traitors.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment! The air was filled with suffocating danger and silence...

The traitors from the Iron Warriors did not let the loyal naval warriors wait too long.

After a few short minutes, the first traitors who broke into the flagship... had arrived within the range where the loyalists were stationed.

A tragic war is about to break out! ! !

A team of 100 Iron Warriors, holding bolt guns and chainswords, entered the passage defended by the naval warriors with a cold look.

The arrogant traitors originally thought that this would be an indisputable massacre...

In the absence of equal combat power, fighting against Astartes with a mortal body is simply courting death! ! !

But when this group of despicable traitors entered the corner of the battleship passage, the smile on the traitorous face of the Iron Warrior disappeared instantly.

It turns out that the arrogant Iron Warriors still underestimated the will of the mortal warriors.

Three large-caliber machine guns that have undergone several upgrades have already been placed at the corners of the passage.

The navy crew stationed here have also received the news that the betrayer is about to pass through the Thinker system that connects the entire fleet.
