After more reinforcements from the Black Legion appeared, Soshyan already knew that Abaddon was planning to trap him here - but his focus was still on the surrounded Fortress No. 7, so this determined that he would not invest much power. He was basically cultists and a large number of small demons, mixed with some Chaos Space Marines.
If that's all, then he will almost succeed.
Now Soshiyang has only more than 200 warriors and more than 50 castle-level combat robots around him. The Knights' family has been on standby near Fortress No. 7.
It seems that he has no more reinforcements.
But a week ago, he used material transport ships to load and unload the battle group's auxiliary troops to the surface of the planet.
For most battle groups, the mortal auxiliary troops are insignificant because they lack most of the equipment and vehicles that the conventional Astral Arcade Army possesses. However, the mortal auxiliary troops of the Astral Knights are under Soshiyan's years of operation, and their scale and equipment level are not comparable to those of ordinary battle groups.
Soshyan even granted them an official name, the Asvalan Legion.
This may be the only miscalculation of Abaddon.
"...The first regiment attacks the left wing! The second regiment cooperates with the armored assault battalion and attacks the right wing!"
The rocket's explosion burned mortals to ashes, and the impact killed more thugs. When the mortal auxiliary troops of the Astral Knight came from the west, the enemy was already in chaos.
Then, the deadly flowers bloomed together, and a large number of Hellhound tanks equipped with flamethrowers ignited into pieces of purified fire.
A few minutes later, heavy vehicles arrived, the enemy's casualties began to soar, and the behemoth with the roaring engines were thrown into the slaughter.
Maka multi-heavy tank, Riemanlus heavy tank, Riemanlus conqueror, petrified lizard-
A large number of heavy vehicles originally belonging to the Star Army appeared on the battlefield.
The infantry of the Asvalan Legion are also well-equipped. In addition to the silver sheet bulletproof armor covered with all their bodies, they are also equipped with a large number of new light plasma weapons. These equipments include some of the human technology of the Golden Age, and are far higher than those of ordinary Astral Army equipment in both efficiency and intensity.
Soshiyang stood at the forefront and commanded the battle. He locked his pistol on his belt, then held up the Holy Flame Sword, releasing his hatred towards the despicable traitor who dared to rush towards him.
The thugs were at a loss in the face of the incoming power, and the number decreased sharply.
The Asvalan army killed faster than the rare Astartes. The more they attacked, the more focused they became and ruthless.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Soshiyang grabbed the cloak of a cult lying on the ground pretending to be dead, held the guy to his sight, and ignored other attacks around him.
His captives scratched and resisted, spit out, unable to speak in their rage.
Soshiyan looked into the eyes of the fallen man, but saw nothing familiar in this madness - the madman left no humanity, but a machine made of flesh and blood, and his empty body was filled with anger, and that's all.
"You have nothing to understand."
Soshiyan said to the poor man, throwing the other party aside and finding other thugs launching sieges, trying to kill him by number and hatred.
He held the Holy Flame Sword in his hand and drew an arc.
The head fell to the ground, and the expression frozen in the last roar.
He cut a bloody path in the raging waves and continued to observe his battlefield. He was still looking for a quick way to resolve the battle, but he got nothing.
A Sikaran battle tank came to him, and Soshiyan stopped.
He felt something was wrong, so he boarded the tank.
Looking around, the enemy was coming in a sea of fire. The traitors did not have much vehicle. Two predators were heading west, two rhinos were arranged in the second row to support, and Chaos Space Marines in black armor were discharged from the battle line behind the tank.
They guarded a mountain of ruins, where a chaotic wizard stood.
The man's actions grabbed Soshiyang's attention tightly. The black net twitched at the edge of his sight, and blood red oozed from the ground. The madman preached to the madman. Although there was still a considerable distance between them, the other party's gestures were not so strange.
Soshyan could feel some kind of surging power, and the thugs below could also feel that the swelling sea of people was the response to the gesture.
As soon as he pulled in, the crowd gathered inward, and as he pushed out, the crowd rushed westward.
They are all his puppets.
"Brothers Rogris."
Soshiyan said via radio:
"The wizard who is inciting him, he is the primary threat, aiming at him."
"Yes, the commander of the battle."
Sikaran's main gun opened fire, a large number of mortals died in the explosion, and a rhino was engulfed by flames, but the traitors on the turret were still firing and fighting back.
The wizard's figure disappeared from his vision, and Soshiyang guessed that the other party had been smashed to pieces.
At this moment, a sudden burst of sound came from the sky.
The Thunder Eagle and Storm Crow gunboat formation replenished ammunition and returned to sail again, weaving a fire net in the sky, and the roaring sounds were endless: engines, guns, explosions, and airflow.
On the ground, the Asvalan army ran through the tide of anger, and heavy tanks marched on the front line of the team, and their flames and storm cannons ignited the sea of people.
The siege shield in front of the vehicle shoveled away the dead enemy and the tyrants who were struggling with flames, and pushed the smokey flesh and blood aside. Soshiyan stood on the Sikaran tank, watching the steel ruthlessly burning the residents of the original planet to ashes. What he saw was not war, but a necessary extinction.
No matter how things ended in the Red Sand Mountains, the invasion of chaos is beyond cure. It has been two years since the invasion of the Black Legion, and it is hard to say that there are any innocent people on this planet.
When the war is over, he will support the decision of the extinction order.
"The soldiers of the Asvalan Legion!"
Then, Soshiyan broadcast the channel on the command channel:
"You guys are fighting very well, now, let's start the liquidation!"
The Chaos Space Marines also moved quickly, igniting their backpacks one by one to try to get out of the fire shooting area.
But the barrage that followed gave them a head-on blow. Two traitors were hit directly by the assault guns and smashed to pieces in the blast of the backpack jumping. The others were also injured and landed clumsyly not far ahead of the team.
Their bombs spit out flames and exploded behind the leading tank.
One of the traitors landed behind the Sikaran combat tank. Ustad flew across the rooftop cabin regardless of the explosive bomb, and shot back with his pistol.
He hit the traitor's breastplate, and smoke came out of the powerplate. The Chaos Space Marine took a step back and then began to charge and shoot forward.
Ustad lowered his posture and stabbed the sword in his hand.
The sword blade cut through the pottery steel and penetrated the flesh and blood. The traitor tried to break free, but Ustad stepped forward and hooked him with his arm.
The two were as close as if they were hugging each other, but Ustad was pushing the hilt of the sword hard, grinding his armor and bones.
"Repent, traitor."
"no way--"
The trembling Chaos Space Marine raised her fist and tried to smash Ustad in the face.
The second company commander smashed the traitor's arm, and suddenly pulled the sword blade upwards, neatly cutting the traitor's chest.
