At night, on the surface of a deserted mineral planet.
From time to time, there will be a dust storm mixed with a lot of electromagnetic interference.
And in the midst of this terrifying sandstorm, black-painted Thunderhawk transport planes slowly stagnated ten meters high in mid-air.
Buzz buzz——
The next second, thick hatches quickly opened at the rear of the cabin.
The Raven Guards, who moved extremely swiftly, were like black shadows enveloping the oncoming rough sand grains, and quietly fell towards the surface of the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a tall figure with a Blood Scythe in his palm suddenly opened the pair of huge vibranium wings located behind the Seiko power armor, and quickly spread its wings and glided towards the surface below!
winter!
A pair of pale golden vibranium magnetic boots were inserted into the depths of the fluffy sand, splashing a lot of sand that was blown away by the wind.
Rorschach, who was wearing a skull helmet, only glanced at the extremely harsh battlefield environment around him through the eyepiece.
The voice from the fifth company of the Raven Guard, Shadow Captain Kailin Sorak, reached his ears intermittently through the communication channel.
"Lord Primarch, the latest information is that just a few minutes ago, a large number of landing troops from the Tau Empire fleet forcibly broke through the dense firepower network deployed by our fleet. After they lost almost one-third of their ships, they successfully attacked
A landing operation has been launched on the surface of the planet."
"However, the nearest landing force is also thousands of kilometers away, so it will have little impact on our beheading operation in a short period of time."
"Judging from the intelligence information currently available, it seems that the safety of the Ether class is probably more important to the commanders of the Tau Empire than the victory or defeat of this battle."
Rorschach, who heard the other party's words, did not reply immediately.
He slightly raised a vibranium arm glowing with golden light.
Ten metal rings filled with purple energy are constantly surrounding the front, back, left and right of the Seiko power armor.
"That's because the Ether clan is the original body and even the emperor of the Tau clan to a certain extent. This is of course more important to an alien race than the ordinary commanding class. You can understand if you think about it a little bit...Sorak
,Have you found the landing location of the ether?"
Rorschach, with a deep voice, shook his skull helmet slightly.
The pair of eyepieces with a faint scarlet luster looked through the fine sand and dust in the air at Shadow Company Commander Sorak who was standing not far away.
And faced with the original body’s answers and questions.
Shadow Captain Sorak first nodded at the metal helmet, then shook his head and said:
"Due to the interference factors of the local geographical environment, even the detection range and detection capabilities of the airborne auspicious device on the Thunderhawk transport aircraft have been greatly compressed. At present, what I can determine is that the landing point of Ether's escape capsule
The straight-line distance from us will not exceed twenty kilometers, and the error range is within two to three kilometers."
"But the strange thing is that just on the screen of my helmet, the number of etheric escape cabin signals that can be successfully captured is as many as dozens. I am currently unable to determine whether this is a malfunction caused by interference with the auspicious device.
Or is it a decoy target deliberately spread by the enemy in order to protect the ether."
Sorak finished speaking.
"Haha, do you want to play with us about real and fake ether? Are you naive?"
Rorschach seemed to utter a deep sneer from inside the skull helmet and raised a vibranium palm without hesitation.
He immediately issued an order to all the surrounding Raven Guards:
"Let the Thunderhawk transport aircraft formation conduct reconnaissance from the air and determine the location of the suspected target in advance!"
"All the Crow Guards of the fifth company immediately followed me to attack from the ground! Everyone, let me run! We must rush to take off the head of the ether before more enemy reinforcements arrive!"
At this moment, Rorschach's words have not yet completely finished.
A vibranium magnetic boot under his feet suddenly moved towards the front where the sandstorm was raging.
And on top of the tall body that was constantly swaying with the heavy steps.
Wisps of shadow power emanating from the body quickly spread to every part of Luo Xia's body, completely wrapping him up!
After Rorschach, who was rushing forward, subconsciously used the Shadow Step inherited from Crow King Corax.
There were dozens of Raven Guards around who had just taken action.
Unexpectedly, they followed the original body's forward movements and violently launched the stealth skill Shadow Step!
In an instant, every Astartes, including the Primarch Rorschach, was completely transformed into black and invisible shadows.
They quickly passed through the incessant sandstorms and galloped forward!
At this moment, it seemed as if the Raven Guards continued to accept Rorschach's existence.
Their own control over the power of shadow has also slowly increased a lot.
Or maybe it's because of the existence of Rorschach, the original body.
It completely inspired the bloodline inheritance buried in the gene seeds of the Raven Guard.
It also makes their memories seem to go back to the era of the Great Crusade when they followed the Crow King Corax to fight in the north and south, and liberated countless people of the empire!
--------------------------
Boom boom boom——
Amid the dust that spreads everywhere.
Explosive bombs that continuously erupted with roar and fire penetrated the individual armor of each Aurora Pathfinder.
It also completely shattered the slender bodies of these Tau which were too fragile.
Peng Peng Peng!
Following the battlefield, each action moves like ghosts and ghosts.
And the Raven Guards who repeatedly sneaked and jumped back and forth in the shadows of the ground launched continuous surprise assassinations.
More Tau scout squads are being annihilated in an organized manner by the Astartes led by Rorschach himself!
At the same time, Rorschach, who almost danced the blood sickle in his palm into a green light wheel, also violently drove the propulsion device behind the Seiko power armor.
He bravely withstood a large number of oncoming pulse beams or spiral bullets fired from rail rifles, and quickly advanced in the direction of an ether escape capsule!
Buzz buzz!
The next second, Rorschach, whose vibranium shell absorbed a large amount of kinetic energy, suddenly stopped the magnetic boots under his feet.
He straightened his broad ridged back slightly inside the power armor.
The whole person stood openly and openly in the center of the battlefield that was quickly surrounded by countless Aurora Pathfinders.
Then without hesitation, he released an astonishing kinetic energy impact towards the surroundings!
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, each of the Fire Caste warriors who were completely enveloped in the kinetic energy impact area were like withered leaves thrown into a drum washing machine. They quickly tumbled into the air more than ten meters high, and then fell heavily into the air covered with the blood and blood of the Tau clan.
