Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Chapter 24 The trouble moves eastward

Next, the three of them discussed the situation in other cities. Gray had his first official battle and had a rough idea of ​​the strength of the major gangs in the bottom nest. The situation in other nearby cities was similar to Totka.

In this situation, it does not require so many Space Marines to act together to capture a city, and the navy and defense forces also need to go through real battles to become stronger.

It is impossible for a Space Marine to take all the credit for himself, as that would be too offensive.

So after discussion among the three, it was decided that the Space Marines would continue to hunt the alien creatures in the bottom nest nearby, while the navy and defense forces would attack the various cities in the bottom nest together.

When the navy and defense forces encounter a powerful opponent, they will actively summon space marines to resolve the situation, so that all three parties can gain practical combat experience.

After the discussion, the Space Marines each rode their heavy motorcycles and left the city of Totka to hunt powerful alien creatures nearby.

Andrada left a large group of defense troops in the city of Totka, responsible for managing the city and screening cult followers.

A battalion of the defense army has a thousand people, each of whom is armed to the teeth. There are also ten Apocalypse heavy tanks in the battalion, which is more than enough to garrison a city with a population of 400,000.

The defense forces are now attacking the planetary defense forces of the hive city, which is relatively easy, but the current art students need to develop steadily.

The Apocalypse Tank is an improvement on the Lemanus tank that was collected as the private property of the planetary governor in the Teda II Hive World. It is 6 meters high, 12 meters long, and has a gun barrel caliber of 500 mm.

Using heavy siege shells, each tank is equipped with two sets of small void shields and plasma energy. The Apocalypse Tank also has a six-barreled revolver and a heavy ripper rifle with a caliber of 75mm. This kind of firepower can even withstand the Empire's Knight Mech.

The only weakness of the Apocalypse Tank is close combat, but with the cooperation of a large number of infantry, its combat effectiveness is also off the charts.

After leaving behind a battalion of troops, Andrada and Latus each took the remaining navy and guards and left.

A naval brigade of one thousand men cooperates with a company of defense forces. A company has ten thousand men and one hundred Apocalypse tanks.

The large army was divided into two groups outside the city of Totka and fought everywhere. Under the attack of the navy and the defense forces, many cities in the bottom nest were occupied before they could even hold out for an hour.

In the subspace, an Imperial Wanderer-class merchant ship was desperately fleeing in front, and more than a dozen warships made of various pieces of junk were chasing it madly from behind.

Although these warships looked tattered on the outside, the light spears and macro cannons carried on them were constantly attacking the Wandering-class merchant ships in front of them.

The Wandering-class merchant ship in front was constantly dodging in the subspace with the protection of a large void shield. Even if it failed to avoid the attacks of the light spears and macro cannons of the warships behind, it was temporarily safe thanks to the protection of the void shield.

Moreover, the warp was extremely chaotic. Many attacks from the warships at the back were blown away by the turbulent energy in the warp as soon as they were launched. Although the few remaining attacks hit the Wandering-class merchant ship in front, they were also transmitted away by the void shield, which allowed the merchant ship to survive temporarily.

In the bridge of the Wandering-class merchant ship, a thin, one-eyed man about two meters tall looked anxiously at a man and a woman next to him.

The man was thin and wore a black hooded coat, his entire body hidden in the clothes, giving people a sense of mystery. The man was the astrologer on the merchant ship.

The woman next to him has a good figure and fair skin. She has one more eye on her forehead than ordinary people, and her pupils emit blue light. The woman is the navigator of the merchant ship.

"Lord Doc, there are no Imperial military personnel nearby, and the nearest one is half a month away. I have done my best."

The Astropath bowed slightly to Doc Mond and said helplessly.

Doc Mond is a Rogue Trader of the Empire. The Mond family once provided material assistance to the Space Marines during the Great Crusade and was rewarded by the Empire. They have great power in the Empire.

This time, Doc was carrying a large amount of supplies needed by the empire. It was just an ordinary supply transportation. He didn't expect to encounter the Ork orcs who had just entered the subspace in the subspace.

For the fighting race, the Orks, finding prey is a very Waaaaaagh thing. Once they have found the prey, they will not let it go and will keep chasing after the merchant ship.

When the caravan was chased by the Orks for three Terras, if they didn't find a way to shake off the Orks behind them, their merchant ship would not be able to hold on for long.

"My Lord, I have discovered the guidance of the Astronomican. Do we need to leave the Warp?"

The navigator closed his eyes on his forehead and looked at Doc and asked.

The anxious Doc finally heard some good news and asked hurriedly.

"where?"

The navigator replied, "West, ten minutes away."

Doc looked at the servo skull floating nearby and asked, "Tell me the information about that location."

The servo skull floated in mid-air, and the mechanical electronic eyes in its eye sockets kept flashing, as if searching for information recorded in the wetware.

The servo skull's electronic eyes flickered for a minute, and a yellowed piece of paper spit out of its mouth. Doc took the paper and read the information in it.

Doc muttered, "The Teda system is an ordinary hive system of the Empire. It has three hive worlds and no navy or Astra Militarum garrisons."

After reading the information on the paper, Doc said helplessly: "It's just an ordinary hive system. Without a powerful force to help us, it's useless to go anywhere."

After hearing Doc's words, the two psychics next to him fell silent. Without strong power, they could not help the caravan.

Facing an Ork fleet, even the Empire had to dispatch the Astra Militarum and Space Marines to easily defeat the Ork army.

“They can actually help us.”

The navigator was silent for a while, then gave a cold reminder.

After hearing the navigator's reminder, Doc thought about it for a moment and understood the navigator's idea. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the navigator's reminder.

"Well, let's go to the Teda system first. Once the Orks have taken their eyes off us, we'll return to the warp from Mandeville Point and continue our voyage."

Doc gave orders indifferently, asking the crew to head to Mandeville Point, preparing to leave the warp first, and then return to the warp from Mandeville Point after the Orks were attracted by the Teda galaxy.

As a member of a family that has been able to last for a long time in the empire, Doc's heart is also very cold. He does not think that he did anything wrong to use the hive world in the Teda galaxy to escape the pursuit of the Orks.
