Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Just as the Star Army was rushing towards the orbital defense platform, General Yekes Pike, the forging general on the Dokla forging world, quickly understood the intentions of the Star Army with his keen strategic insight.

Without any hesitation, Yex immediately dispatched an elite support force led by a high-ranking priest. This team not only had a large number of members of the Crusaders, but also a large number of battle-hardened combat servants.

The goal of this operation is very clear, which is to make every effort to strengthen the defense capability of the orbital defense platform before the Star Army arrives at it.

This not only buys Yerkes valuable time to mobilize troops and deploy strategies, but is also a key move that determines the outcome of the entire battle.

At this moment, the Mechanicus and the Star Army were approaching the five orbital defense platforms at an astonishing speed.

In the defense position outside Orbital Defense Platform No. 1, there were members of the Skitarii who had just survived the bombardment of the Knight Mech's Galleon Cannon.

Under the calm and composed command of the high-ranking priest, they raced against time to urgently reinforce the defensive positions.

Inside the second line of defense, located outside the orbital defense platform, there was also a bustling scene. A steady stream of servitors and Skitarii members were rapidly gathering and sending large amounts of support to the first line of defense.

These members of the Mechanicus worked closely together, working together to assist the Mechanicus members on the first line of defense, further consolidating the fortifications and jointly building an indestructible steel wall.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Accompanied by sharp and piercing whistling sounds, shells fell from the sky like raindrops, cutting through the sky and smashing towards the orbital defense positions with endless destructive power.

The Space Marines and Dreadnoughts were still on their way to the orbital defense positions, while the Apocalypse Tanks and Knight Mechs following behind them had already impatiently launched a new round of attacks.

These steel behemoths spewed flames and poured deadly artillery fire onto enemy positions outside the orbital defense platform.

"Dodge! Dodge quickly!" On the orbital defense position, high-ranking priests witnessed the overwhelming and spider-web-like artillery shells in the sky.

The remaining skin on their faces turned pale in an instant. They shouted at the top of their lungs, trying to get everyone to find a safe place as soon as possible.

After hearing the order, the members of the Skitarii turned around without hesitation and rushed to the nearby air-raid shelter at the fastest speed.

At the same time, the fighter servants also stopped operating the weapons and equipment in their hands. They carried the weapons and equipment and ran desperately towards the air-raid shelter.

However, time is running out and not everyone can get into the shelter in time.

"Boom!" A deafening roar suddenly erupted, as if the whole world was shaking.

Immediately afterwards, another series of deafening explosions rang out, one after another, without stopping. The dense explosions raised huge clouds of dust in the orbital defense position, covering the sky and the sun.

Countless bunkers and trenches were vulnerable to the fierce bombing and collapsed in an instant.

Those originally extremely solid fortifications were like paper, being easily torn and destroyed, then flew high into the air and fell heavily to the ground.

The Skitarii members and fighter servants hiding in the air-raid shelter had no time to react before they were swept away by the terrifying explosion and powerful shock wave.

Some people were shattered on the spot and turned into a cloud of blood; some were thrown into the air by the violent vibration, and then fell down heavily, turning into scattered parts on the ground.

The entire orbital defense position fell into chaos and blood, with wailing and screaming sounds intertwined together, which was horrifying.

"Drip drip!"

The high-ranking priests hiding in the bunkers kept emitting rapid alarms from the auspicious instruments in their hands, indicating that the Star Marines were approaching the position quickly.

"The enemy is approaching step by step. Everyone listen up and counterattack immediately!"

The high-ranking priest stared intently at the real-time information displayed on the divination array, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.

The mechanical electronic eyes embedded in his eye sockets flashed a dazzling red light rapidly, as if they were about to burn.

At this time, the shells outside were still pouring down like raindrops, but the high-ranking priest had no time to care about his own safety.

He knew that hiding in the bunker could temporarily save the lives of many soldiers, but if he allowed those aggressive heretics to break into the position, it would be extremely difficult to defend this vital orbital defense platform.

The most important thing is that the plasma orbital defense cannon cannot be damaged in any way and must not fall into the hands of these heretics, otherwise the few remaining warships in the Dokla Forge World will be destroyed by them.

After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, the high-ranking priest had reached a conclusion in his mind. Even if the group of crusaders and combat servants before him would eventually be wiped out, if they could hold on until reinforcements arrived, this battle would not be a loss.

Following the order from the high priest, the combat servitors and members of the Skitarii rushed out of the air-raid shelter without the slightest hesitation, bravely charging forward to meet the dense artillery shells that were pouring down from above their heads.

Each step was accompanied by a huge explosion and billowing smoke and dust, but their steps were extremely firm and resolute. Everyone worked together and raced against time to build a defensive line.

The Star Marines, under the dense artillery support from behind, rushed quickly towards the orbital defense position, not paying any attention to the dense shells falling from overhead.

Even if these shells fall towards the Star Marines, they will be blocked by their field shields and void shields and will not cause any damage to the Space Marines.

"Da da da!"

Twin-barreled lumbering rifles, heavy bolter machine guns, and heavy laser guns launched fierce attacks on the Star Marines rushing towards them from afar, trying to kill these Space Marines on the way to the charge.

Thousands of meters passed in a flash, and the Stellar Space Marines rushed directly into the Mechanicus's position despite the attacks of the Mechanicus's Skitarii and Fighting Servitors.

"Swish, swish!" The Star Space Marines quickly ran past the members of the Crusaders and the fighter servants, and swung the power sword in their hands casually at the members of the Crusaders and the fighter servants.

The Skitarii members in this small position, along with their weapons and equipment, were cut in half by the power swords in the hands of the Star Marines, and fell to the ground powerlessly.

The Star Space Marines did not choose to waste time attacking these Skitarii members. They just casually swung the power sword in their hands as they passed by, cutting the Skitarii members and fighter servants in the entire small defensive position in half, and rushed towards the orbital defense platform behind the position at an extremely fast speed.
