The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

The rebellion in the world of Hive City was successfully quelled, the gang leaders were executed, and the world of Gloria once again fell into peace.

The Thunderhawk transport plane left the ground, passed through the thick clouds, and landed on the cruiser in orbit. Kayans and Russell, along with a hundred team members, disembarked from the Thunderhawk and came to the deck.

"Finally home!" Kayans said with a long sigh of relief.

Russell nodded and said: "Finally home."

For the Astronauts, the Space Fleet is their true home, where each Astronaut has their own small house.

Back in his little house, Russell was finally able to take off all his gear, wear only a vest, and rest in bed.

Although Russell served in the Cardia Commando Regiment, he was not a true Cardian. The planet Cardia had long been destroyed by "the traitor, Abaddon." True Cardians were scattered throughout the vast galaxy, and there were probably very few true Cardians in the entire 357th Regiment. Although he was not a Cardian, he inherited the Cardian spirit, just like the Cardian motto: "Cardia, never fall" and "Cardia stands tall."

When introducing himself to the public, Russell also said that he was a Cardinal, because he had long believed in himself to be a Cardinal.

A knock suddenly sounded at the door.

"who is it?"

“It’s me, Kayans, your brother.”

Russell opened the door and saw Kayan standing outside. He asked, "Why aren't you resting? Is there something you need?"

"Nothing important, just wanted to chat with you for a bit." With that, Kayans walked in and sat down on a small stool.

"How are these new recruits?"

"They still need training!"

"You can use this time to train them."

"They don't need that kind of training; they need real-world training."

"The Star Guardians have never lacked real combat experience!"

Kayan thought about Russell's words and agreed with them very much.

How long have you served in the 357th Regiment?

Russell was silent for a moment and then said: "About three years?"

Kayans's gaze immediately turned respectful. A three-year service in the Astronomical Army was already considered a long service period. A veteran who had served for three years must have experienced countless brutal battles.

“I’ve only served for one year and two months, you’re my senior.”

Russell sighed and said: I am just lucky. My friends have all died in the war.

No wonder you don't like making friends.

Russell smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't like making friends, but I don't want to endure the pain of losing friends. A few days ago, Mangal was blown to pieces in front of me. Who knows, I might be blown to pieces one day too."

The chat continued for a while before Kayans left.

After Cayans left, Russell couldn't sleep at all. When he was bored, he had another hobby: writing in his diary, especially his battle diary.

…………

"Attention everyone, we are under attack."

"Attention everyone, we are under attack."

The warning system kept beeping. Russell quickly put on his equipment, grabbed his Fire Kirin laser gun, hung up his Bloodthirster shovel, and rushed out of the small house into the corridor.

Russell, who had just come out, saw Kayans, fully armed, running towards him from a distance, shouting as he ran: "Everyone, assemble in the hall!"

He saw Russell and quickly called out: Russell, brother...

The cruiser shook violently, and Kayans nearly fell over. Russell quickly grabbed the wall for support.

What does their shaking mean? The cruiser has been hit; the violent explosion caused it to shake.

Without further hesitation, Russell quickly ran towards the hall.

The hall was already filled with fully armed commando members, and the captain was anxiously checking his watch.

After everyone had gathered, the cruiser shook again, but this time not as violently as before.

Before the men could line up, Captain Lawrence said, "We've been attacked. The enemy is powerful. Their warships have breached our defenses. We still can't pinpoint exactly who the enemy is. Whoever they are, we, the Cardiah Assault Regiment, will never back down! Everyone, proceed to the deck to meet the enemy! May the Emperor protect you! 'Cardiah, stand firm!'" The last line was the captain's rallying cry.

Russell, Kayans, and all the members of the Cardia Commando shouted in unison: Cardia, stand firm!

As soon as the Imperial fleet emerged from the warp, countless enemy ships appeared in front of it. No one knew what was going on. How could the enemy appear so quickly? Only the trickery of the "Evil God" could allow the enemy to know the fleet's exact location so precisely.

Violent explosions rang out continuously around the warship, and the deck was already engulfed in flames, yet the Imperial warship continued to unleash its full firepower.

Huge meteors fell from the sky, but these were not meteors at all; they were steel fortresses carrying numerous traitorous Astral Army soldiers.

Although the warships' firepower blocked some of the enemy ships, quite a few still managed to escape.

The enemy's boarding action indicates they don't want to destroy the Empire's warships; this is typical of space pirates. Although they have long since pledged allegiance to the "Evil God," they still have their own ulterior motives.

Kayans and Russell rushed onto the deck.

A fiery meteor landed in front of them.

With a deafening roar, the steel fortress slammed heavily into the deck.

The steel fortress opened its hatch, and dozens of fully armed traitorous Astradian soldiers rushed out, firing laser guns in all directions.

"Get out of the way!" Russell yelled and took cover, but more than a dozen assault team members behind him were shot down before they could dodge.

Russell raised the "Fire Kirin" and fired it at a traitorous Astronaut.

The current Fire Kirin is the original version, and the laser it shoots is no different from that of an ordinary laser gun.

A laser bullet struck the armor of a traitorous Astragalus soldier, but surprisingly only left a bullet hole.

The traitorous Astral Army soldier glanced at his armor, then revealed a twisted and cruel smile before raising his mutated laser gun and firing it at Russell.

Russell quickly took cover, as a hail of laser bullets flew over his head. He dared not look up, lest he be riddled with bullets.

The Cardia commando team was suppressed; despite their large numbers, they were unable to launch an attack and could only passively take hits.

After dodging a hail of bullets, Russell glanced back and saw the assault team members falling like straw. He was extremely anxious and roared involuntarily: "Quick, find cover!"

Just as the assault team was being firmly suppressed, the heavy weapon laser cannons on the ship turned around and fired at the traitorous astral army. Violent explosions rang out continuously, and groups of traitorous astral army soldiers were blasted into the air.
