Chapter 61: Prophecy of Defeat
...
On the position.
"Scatter! Scatter everyone!"
"We are about to teleport. Don't linger in the battle. Destroy all fixed weapons and prepare for the teleport!"
As the infantrymen on the position engaged in a fierce firefight with the attacking enemy, officers shouted orders over the communication channel.
The soldiers immediately began to destroy the heavy weapons, tying bombs to fixed weapons and blowing them up.
After doing all this, the soldiers immediately dispersed to any safe place to ensure that after the transmission, two people would not become one person due to position deviation.
While the soldiers were preparing for the teleportation, officers at the regimental level had already entered the Leman Russ tanks.
"Transmission is about to begin."
When the prompt tone sounded in the communication channel, everyone's protection device was opened and the barrier wrapped around the body.
"3."
"2."
"1."
After the countdown ended, all the people and equipment of the First Army were teleported to the bottom nest, even the drones were not left behind. These soulless machines were actually easier to teleport.
Everyone disappeared so suddenly that the attacking side had no time to react. They continued to attack the position for two minutes before gradually stopping fire.
Then the attacking soldiers took the position easily and effortlessly.
But everyone knew clearly that this was only a temporary victory, and they might face a very terrible attack next.
Stinger, who was remotely directing the battle in the hive spire, did not issue orders immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and concentrated on exerting his psyker power.
A prophecy was playing before his eyes.
While his subordinates were feeling anxious, a large number of energy rifts opened up behind them. The soldiers and tanks gradually condensed into entities and launched a fierce counterattack.
The counterattack was launched not outside the position, but behind the entire front line established by the vanguard.
At the end of the prophecy, his vanguard of about 150,000 people had their deployment disrupted and were easily destroyed by the enemy.
"What a disgusting technology." Stinger opened his eyes and frowned as he thought about how to fight next.
He was relatively familiar with teleportation technology. The teleportation technology used by the Empire was to utilize the subspace for teleportation, entering and exiting the subspace briefly and quickly, teleporting from one place to another, and it was easy to interfere with it.
However, the possibility that the other party is using new technology cannot be ruled out. It is not rational to expect to reverse the prophecy by interfering with the transmission technology. The vanguard still has to evacuate. Anyway, they have already destroyed the Second Army, so it is not a loss.
Stinger closed his eyes again and sent a psyker communication to his generals: "Retreat. Cover each other's retreat."
After giving the order, Stinger stood up, looked at his servant, and ordered him: "Go prepare me the ritual and the consumables used in the ritual. I will make it impossible for the enemy to teleport."
"But my lord, the teleportation technology they use may not be based on the warp..." the servant said tremblingly as he knelt on the ground.
"I have seen the teleportation technology used by those big lackeys of the Puppet Emperor when they jumped into gangs, and I even successfully interfered with it." Stinger pointed to the door, "Now get out and prepare."
"Yes, my lord." The servant immediately ran out to prepare for the ceremony.
...
Inside the bottom nest.
The teleported troops have regrouped. They checked all the equipment on them to confirm that none of the equipment was damaged.
The guards like Gray received new orders.
"Next, you will be teleported to different areas, but the locations are all behind the enemy lines. I need you to find a suitable area to place the beacon after the teleportation."
"I think there are psychics among the enemies. If you see a psyker in battle, don't attack immediately. Instead, report it and Yaoen will go over and deal with it."
Qin Mo gave orders in the encrypted communication channel.
Gray and others listened attentively.
"These are the specific orders. Leave the rest to the transmission device and me." Qin Mo hung up the communication.
Afterwards, except for Yao En, everyone else was gradually wrapped by the barrier and then teleported to the position that Qin Mo had set up for them in advance.
After coming out of the dimensional channel, Gray found himself in an open area outside the first area. A regiment of enemy troops had gathered in the first area, then abandoned the place originally occupied by them and evacuated.
Gray immediately threw the beacon to the ground and then attacked the enemy in another direction.
His Royal Guard Power Armor was at full firepower, the jet pack provided powerful thrust, and the whole person was moving and attacking at an extremely fast speed on the ground. Even if the enemy had noticed that he was alone, they still had to find cover on the spot and fight back with all their might.
The enemy didn't notice what was happening behind them.
As energy rifts unfolded and the 87th Regiment led by Duncan completed the transmission, the enemy had already lost the brief opportunity to intercept.
Duncan emerged from the tank hatch, raised his chainsword and roared, "Attack!"
The roar attracted the enemy's attention. When they turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from, they immediately saw all the soldiers equipped with power armor and the black muzzles of the Leman Russ tanks.
The next second, full fire.
The enemy didn't even have time to lie on the ground before they were immediately attacked from behind. Light beams pierced through their bodies, shells exploded between them, and more than half of the entire regiment was killed or wounded in less than two minutes.
Duncan ordered an advance, and the infantry advanced around the tanks. The biological scans in the power armor had marked all surviving enemies, and even those who were lying on the ground pretending to be dead would be shot by them.
Gray did not continue to assist Duncan in the battle. He turned on the biological scan and rushed to other locations and continued to drop transmission beacons.
Compared to Gray and Duncan, the other teams played more easily and comfortably.
Teleporting with a teleport beacon will always allow you to appear behind the enemy or in front of their retreat route.
Unmanned artillery also joined the battle. They no longer needed the protection of friendly forces because they would be teleported to open ground far away from the enemy and then open fire to bombard the nearest enemy.
After a round of bombing, the unmanned artillery will be transported to the next location where they are needed for fire support. The enemy has no way of predicting where they will appear or when they will leave, so naturally they cannot send people to destroy them.
For the First Army, this battle no longer required command and planning. All everyone had to do was to continue teleporting and charging at the enemy, leaving them confused and dying.
Qin Mo was able to free himself from the command and concentrate on charging the teleportation device to prevent the embarrassing situation of running out of energy and being unable to teleport.
