"...Eternal God Emperor, walking with you, we will definitely win, because you have already won!"
At the last word, the speaker made a roaring sound and raised his war hammer high.
"The God-Emperor is the Greatest!" (Old Mo had to complain, for the sake of xx it doesn't really sound like a religious slogan)
In response to the preacher, there was a roaring mountain and tsunami of praise, which even covered up the roar of cannon fodder and aliens in the distance.
"The God Emperor is the greatest!"
The soldiers shouted and knelt down. Everyone knelt down neatly three times, pressing their foreheads to the ground each time. After finishing, they picked up their guns, hung the Eagle emblem on the butt, stood up, and roared in unison.
.
In the name of the God Emperor! We will fight to the death!
"It's incredible that the state religion actually has such elite soldiers."
Murad, wearing a Terminator, stood on a destroyed executioner's body, watching the unit called Faith Watch forming up in formation and rushing to the battlefield in a mighty manner, with surprise that could not be concealed on his face.
At first he thought the Faith Watch was a slightly better militia, but when Soshyan told him that the State Church had spent huge sums of money to build this principle quasi-militia into an elite force, Murad was also quite surprised. After all, in addition to
Except for a few war groups, most war groups actually have very little contact with the state religion, and they do not take a very serious look at this faction, which plays a decisive role in the imperial system.
Judging from the current situation, even if there is no battle yet, what they have shown is indeed not at the level of ordinary militiamen. Whether it is operational efficiency, discipline, or the enthusiasm for fighting, they are already at the level of the Astra Militarum.
.
"Company Commander, doesn't this violate the taming order?"
The flag bearer standing behind Murad asked a question. Murad thought for a while and replied:
"The Taming Edict was already five thousand years ago. At this time, the state religion can probably find enough loopholes to exploit... although this loophole does seem to be a bit big."
Then, a burst of movement attracted his attention. Looking at the armored formation rumbling past, Murad blinked.
Hundreds of Leman Russ tanks and Malcador tanks formed an assault formation, kicking up dust in the sky. Each one of them is a work of art, with gorgeous hymns engraved on the armored shell, as well as torches and small metal statues.
And the scriptures, especially the Malcador tank, this ancient tank has basically been retired from the armory of the Eleventh Legion. The Malcador formation that helped the Astral Knights in the early battles has become a cultural relic, but in
However, a huge number of Machado heavy tanks suddenly appeared here. Some of the Machado heavy tanks had their turrets removed and replaced with a gorgeous podium surrounded by burning torches. In the podium stood a group of
A bare-chested ascetic whipper wearing a black pointed hat, while beating himself with a barbed iron whip, he used an extremely fanatical voice to utter a passage from countless classics praising the emperor, and his voice passed through the pulpit.
Twelve huge brass trumpets spread in all directions and can be heard even miles away.
At the same time, on both sides of this mobile podium, there are also upper-body singing servitors hanging on each side. Most of them are choir members who have committed crimes. Their only atonement is to retain their original perfect singing voices and sing continuously.
Singing the holy tune of praising the Emperor, the whipping servitors following the podium also responded to the rhythm of the singing servitors with their low, hoarse and vague singing voices as they walked stiffly.
The fanaticism and cruelty of the state religion were most perfectly integrated at this moment.
On both sides of the armored assault group, there were a large number of armored vehicles and sentinel mechas, especially sentinel mechas. The state religion seemed to be very fond of this equipment. The number was unusually large. Murad observed with his eyes that in every infantry formation,
There are double-digit sentinel mechas in action, and the state religion's sentinel mechas have some unique improvements. For example, Murad saw a way to place the main weapon, a heavy explosive bomb, in the middle of the body, with two
Looking at the model of the chain saw, you must know that most sentries only have one weapon. He was curious about how the driver inside controlled the three weapons, but because it was a closed cockpit, he could not see the real situation.
In addition, he also saw a very small type of Sentinel mecha. At first, he didn't even notice this small machine. He thought it was some kind of skitarii from the Mechanicus. After taking a closer look, he discovered that it was actually a type of machine that is used today.
This is an extremely ancient piece of equipment. It is said that it has been widely used in the imperial army since the early days of the Great Crusade. Its height is half as high as an adult, about the same as Murad himself wearing a Terminator. The entire cockpit is almost completely
It is open, with a baffle in front, and its weapons are deployed on the front. It looks like a weapons rack with legs. Murad doesn't know where the state religion got such ancient equipment.
But this is not the most shocking thing.
Murad suddenly felt some trembling under his feet. When he looked down, he saw that the dead Tyran was shaking. Then he realized that the vibration was coming from the ground, which might make the ground shake...
"Do you have poison blades?"
Murad stared dumbfounded at the steel beast hundreds of meters away, arrogantly trampling the earth. The huge poison blade tank was almost decorated like a temple. Not only was the outer shell painted gold, there was even an independent tank behind the tank.
There is a small shrine, and a fanatical preacher stands in the turret, using a huge loudspeaker to repeatedly recite classic quotes from the Book of Psalms.
As the seventh captain of the Astral Knights stared in shock, at least thirty gold-painted poison blade tanks rumbled past the armored formation of Faith Watch, and this was just a battle line.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's really an exaggeration."
Murad shook his head and clicked his tongue for a moment, then said to the adjutant beside him:
"Inform all troops and act according to the predetermined plan."
"yes."
Soon, the horn of counterattack was sounded by the gun array led by Prince Andrea of the Dupont Delin family. Continuous explosions spread towards the Tyranids' waves, and the smoking debris exploded in the avalanche of gravel, debris and dust.
It rolled to the ground, and there were even hundreds of injured alien creatures among them. Their fishhook-like limbs were waving in the air when they fell.
As always, the armored troops took the lead and formed a powerful iron fist, slamming towards the alien cluster. The infantry initially conducted cover shooting on the still intact protective wall, but soon they also left the bunker and began to move towards hell.
.
With the help of powerful assault force, the Imperial Legion successfully formed a powerful counterattack. While annihilating millions of enemies, it expanded a protrusion that was thirty kilometers long and more than ten kilometers deep.
Huge transport ships began to descend from the atmosphere with scorching residual heat. Although there were a large number of Tyranid creatures in the sky trying to interfere, the gargoyles and sky monsters could not pose a real threat in the face of the empire's overwhelming air power.
