In this Battle of Pandora, in addition to the Imperial Navy and the Astartes Chapter entering the battle, the Astra Militarum also deployed elite troops and generals.
These include the 4th, 15th, 22nd and 99th Cadian Regiments, as well as the 10th Cadian Armored Regiment.
There are many troops with outstanding merits here, such as the Cadian 15th Regiment, also known as the Heroes of Kariyah. This regiment was stationed on the planet Mihawk Secondus during the M37 period, and during a
During the Alpha Legion's attack, they defended the Cariach Hive, holding on until reinforcements arrived when the entire planet almost fell.
The 22nd Regiment and the 15th Regiment were also stationed on the planet Mihawk Secondus at the time. During the defensive battle in the Cobalt Blue River Valley, the regiment faced the Alpha Legion and the main force of the Chaos Rebels and defended the valley for 3 weeks. Everyone was unable to fight to the death.
Although the regiment eventually had only a few survivors left, the Cobalt River Valley did not fall until Imperial reinforcements arrived to repel and destroy the invaders, thus giving the regiment the "Emperor's Blood Hounds"
honorary title.
The 99th Regiment is a mechanized infantry regiment with a long history and has been rebuilt many times. The regiment possesses a large number of Chimeras and Cerberus, and is also equipped with a certain number of plasma weapons.
The 10th Cadian Armored Regiment includes 9 armored companies, mainly Leman Russ battle tanks and Leman Russ Conqueror tanks, and there is also a 'Thunderbolt' super-heavy tank company with at least two Imperial tanks.
Emperor's Baneblade and an unknown number of Doomhammer super-heavy tanks.
From such luxurious and glorious achievements, we can see the status of the word "Cadian" in the Astra Militarum.
This is a world located in the Hazy Star Territory. It has no special output. The most unique thing is its location. It is very close to the Nightmare Eye of Terror in the Milky Way, which means that it has become a world that can
An important stronghold and bridgehead to curb heretical activities in the Eye of Terror.
So naturally, Cadian became a fortress world and all its inhabitants became soldiers.
"If a Cadian can't play with his laser gun at the age of ten, he must have been born in the wrong place" - this is a well-known proverb in the empire. Unlike Krieg's atonement-style joining the army, Kadian
The Deans were proud to join the army and to sacrifice themselves for the Emperor. Therefore, they produced a group of soldiers with the highest quality in the empire. The Ministry of Military Affairs also regarded them as an elite force in their hands, and all equipment was given priority. This made Cady
The combat effectiveness of the security forces is far superior to other forces.
However, most of the time, Kadian accepts the command of the generals assigned by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and only in rare cases does an accident occur.
And this time the Battle of Pandora was full of surprises, it became less strange that the Cadian Legion accepted the Chapter Master of the Astartes.
After weighing the battlefield situation, Soshyan decided to put the Cadian regiment into the battlefield, and their starting point was aboard their Galaxy-class transport ship Death Charge.
"vomit--"
Colonel Dro Acat, the commander of the 99th Cadian Mechanized Infantry Regiment, opened his eyes, but the dizzy feeling had not disappeared, and the world in his eyes was still twitching.
He glanced into the cabin, where 30 regimental command post guards were stiffly locked in their seats with yellow striped restraint belts. The mesh bags under the seats contained their own accompanying equipment.
The air was filled with the aroma of incense, but the ship's hull was shaking so hard that Akat couldn't see the inspiring inscriptions carved into the ship's body.
During the rapid dive, the hull of the ship, which was white-hot as it rubbed against the atmosphere, emitted bursts of violent roars. It sounded like this damn disaster star was welcoming their arrival.
The colonel glanced around again, trying to find a familiar face.
The huge Ogryn Guard Golden Tooth closed his eyes and firmly grasped his restraint belt with both hands. Due to his size, he had to occupy the position of two people, and his commonly used heavy logging gun was under his buttocks.
Although the Ogryns are very brave on the battlefield, they generally have a bad habit - they are afraid of heights.
Therefore, every time they are airborne, they will be so frightened that they will close their eyes tightly and become unable to move.
To the right of the Ogryn guard, the young priest was staring at the top, murmuring a prayer.
Later, he also noticed the determined eyes of the colonel sitting opposite, so he smiled and nodded, as if to encourage the other person to persevere.
Acat took a breath, being encouraged by a priest in this situation was as scary as being slapped on the back by the devil at the gate of hell.
So he chose to close his eyes again.
On another ship, political commissar Lena Bates of the 99th Regiment was also fixed in a G-force resistant seat.
The political commissar twisted his neck hard, looked past the pilot and the astropath, and looked into the cockpit through a small observation window.
The various instruments behind the thick glass were shaking crazily, and the icons were shaking along with the hull, but the political commissar could still tell that the target was emerging - Explorer Fortress No. 7 was peeking out from the ocher-red mountainous area.
It's like a piece of black coal embedded in a plump navel.
There, the second company of the Astral Knights was fighting the enemy, but the situation was not good and they were in great need of support.
"Log in in 60 seconds."
The calm voice of the pilot came from the intercom, and countless troop carriers shot through the clouds like bullets and dived downwards at high speed.
Then, the clouds began to burn, and the fluffy corners were scorched and turned yellow.
Following the rolling cirrocumulus clouds, dark purple stains seeped into the sky, like blood flowing in water.
The next moment, there was lightning and thunder, and strong winds.
The political commissar took a closer look and seemed to find something in the distance that made the atmosphere change color.
"On what?"
"There's some weird turbulence going on!"
The co-pilot suddenly shouted, and the political commissar was about to ask, but the shaking of the ship's hull became more violent.
He glanced at the Astropath and saw that the man was letting out a low, monotonous roar.
Suddenly, the Astropath's head exploded, spreading blood and tissue everywhere.
The pilot was yelling something.
The political commissar was very sure that it was the psychic storm. Below them, some unimaginable force was trying to keep them out with the chaotic psychic storm.
The ship was rocking violently, and the political commissar had difficulty concentrating. The numerous warning lights flashing on the dashboard looked like countless scarlet pulsating stripes to his blurred eyes.
It seemed like something exploded.
The vibrations and screams of the hull have not stopped, but the falling angle of the hull has changed.
Then he understood that at this time they were no longer diving, but straight down.
After the impact comes the slide...
It was so violent that the political commissar felt like every joint in his body was dislocated.
