[Boom boom——]
[Accompanied by the reddish star that has just risen on the horizon of the Holy Land World. ]
[One after another, the Astartes drop pods, wrapped in heavy flames, were like metal meteorites falling from the sky, descending onto the desolate land where the smoke and flames had not yet dissipated.]
[Boom boom boom! ]
[The first to land were the first batch of fearless airborne pods carrying eight ancient warriors. ]
[After the reverse thrust rocket successfully splashed countless gravel and dust, as the airdrop bay doors fell to the ground one after another, a series of 5.5-meter-tall cast iron dreadnought mechas slowly moved their huge metal bodies and stepped out of the airdrop bay.]
[Almost at the same time, an Astartes drop pod carrying eighty-nine Death Watch and the Sons of Medusa also landed heavily, successfully splashing countless dust and gravel.]
[At this moment, the hatch of one of the airdrop chambers fell to the ground with a bang.]
[You drive the exquisite power armor Spark Glory with your whole body, and step on the scorched earth surface of the Holy Land World again with your magnetic boots. ]
[And in one of your vibranium hands, a covenant staff from the Necrons, emitting a faint green glow all over, was exposed in the polluted air.]
[Deathwatch never prohibits the use of alien weapons.]
[Even in order to fight against the many alien races in the void of the universe, their combat philosophy has always maintained the pragmatism of learning from the foreigners in order to defeat them.]
[However, in order to avoid inspection and trial by the Empire, the Death Watch has always been very secretive about this and never revealed any information to the outside world.]
[So, when you, the Primarch, subconsciously asked the two Death Watch Captains whether they were carrying Necrons melee weapons, the subtle expressions on their faces were quite interesting.]
[However, the Blood Scythe or the Super Phase Sword you were expecting did not appear, but an ancient weapon that has been treasured by the Death Watch in this star zone for at least a thousand years. The Staff of the Covenant has become your exclusive weapon. ]
[At this moment, you lowered your head slightly and checked the equipment hanging on the waist of the power armor through the eyepiece. ]
[In addition to a storm bolter, there is also an 'entropy' lightsaber and one of the few stasis bombs in Deathwatch. ]
[In fact, this effective method of using stasis bombs to resist the Hrud's 'entropy energy' force field came from a suggestion by a Black Shield Dreadnought.]
[Even in Deathwatch, Blackshield Astartes who concealed their origins and became completely anonymous are very rare, not to mention those who were lucky enough to become ancient warriors buried in dreadnoughts. ]
[And you also judge from the other party's almost mechanical words and behavior patterns. ]
[This is most likely a loyalist from the Iron Warriors, and he may have even personally participated in the Great Crusade of the rebellious Primarch Perturabo against the Hrud.]
[Dongdongdong——]
[As the killing teams quickly gather, all the Death Watch and the remaining Sons of Medusa continue to gather behind you. ]
[You did not hesitate at all and tightly grasped the Staff of the Covenant.]
[You immediately led the Astartes to march towards the center of the Holy City, which had been ravaged by orbital bombardment.]
[Even though the orbital bombardment lasted for twelve hours, it did not cause much damage to the entire population of the Hrud. ]
[But the complex cave entrances they continuously dug out were also clearly exposed to the scorching light of the reddish stars.]
[Boom boom——]
[At this moment, as the Primarch, you have become the sharp spearhead of the entire attacking team, and following behind you are eight huge dreadnought mechas and Astartes ready to go.]
[You quickly selected a wide underground cave entrance that was large enough for the dreadnoughts to enter side by side as the target for your attack.]
[As soon as one of your magnetic boots stepped into it, a series of 'entropy energy' physical warheads from the depths of the dark cave kept passing through the polluted air and kept attacking the front of your power armor! ]
[Squeak, squeak, squeak! ]
[You raised the Staff of the Covenant in your palm without any hesitation, and lethal green beams of light that almost illuminated the entire cave passage shot out one after another! ]
[This high-level Necromancer weapon, which is usually only used by the Triumvirate Guards of the Space Necromancer, also has the ability to attack from a distance.]
[Instantly, the Hruds who were slowly advancing deep into the tunnel suddenly exploded into clouds of burning ash.]
[As several Dreadnoughts stepped forward with a roar, and twin laser cannons or jets of flames continuously erupted from their sides, a large number of Hruds quickly became shattered corpses that evaporated without even releasing their 'entropy' force fields! ]
[At this moment, as you advance a certain distance while holding the Staff of the Covenant and firing continuously, the Dreadnoughts behind you quickly advance a certain distance, and the Astartes holding the Storm Bolters are pressing forward step by step without any haste.]
[It seems that it was this ancient fighting method from the Iron Warriors, as well as the special limitations of the underground cave environment, that caused heavy casualties among the Hruds who attempted to launch a counterattack.]
[As time went by, you continued to advance and successfully entered the depths of the Hrud underground cave without losing a single combatant.]
[However, at this moment, more Hruds appeared in the eyepiece of your helmet. ]
[The increasingly wide underground cave is no longer suitable for the previous battle advancement mode, which means that a truly difficult and arduous battle has just begun. ]
[You suddenly raised one hand and clenched it into a fist, then waved it at the Dreadnoughts and Deathwatch behind you.]
[You quickly activated your power armor, holding the Staff of the Covenant and launching a terrifying battle charge towards the Hrud in front of you.]
[Instantly, the terrifying laser beams and explosive bomb fire that illuminated the entire underground cave were intertwined with the Hrud's "entropy energy" physical warheads, completely playing the opening song of this war. ]
[As the number of Hruds continues to increase, the horror of the 'entropy energy' force field gradually becomes apparent.]
[Some Astartes who accidentally entered the range of the 'entropy energy' force field aged rapidly, and even the reaction movements of their limbs gradually slowed down! ]
[Boom boom——]
[At this moment, a beam of time that seemed to distort even the air suddenly erupted from a circular infantry combat machine of the Hrud.]
[You reacted quickly and used the Shadow Step without hesitation. You instantly turned into a dark shadow and ran around in the already dim underground cave.]
[At the same time, you showed up as a tall figure, hacking at the Hrud with the Staff of the Covenant, and quickly rushed towards the more threatening circular infantry fighting machine.]
[Instantly, a fearless mecha that happened to be on the attack track of the time beam was about to move its huge metal body to evade. ]
[In order to protect the few ancient warriors and ensure the smooth progress of the entire battle, a fearless Death Watch Astartes suddenly launched a rescue charge and blocked the time beam right in front of it! ]
[As the time beam completely hit the Astartes, the terrifying 'entropy energy' quickly caused time to flow backwards! ]
[In the blink of an eye, as the exterior of the power armor gradually disintegrated and restored, a tragic cry that seemed to come from a human baby resounded throughout the air of the underground cave! ]
