[You gave the order for the vanguard to launch an attack.]
[Rumble--]
[In an instant, terrifying artillery fire, dense as a torrential rain, burst out from the central position of the Iron Hands Legion and the right wing position of the Salamander Legion, like meteors in the daytime. ]
[Countless cyclone missiles with eye-catching traces, coupled with waves of orbital bombardments that crashed from outside the atmosphere, repeatedly ravaged the traitor legion's large-scale defenses. 】
[At this moment, even if you stand at the rear of the central position, you can clearly feel the terrifying heat wave caused by the successive explosions of countless artillery fires and missiles. The hard land mass under the magnetic boots also seems to be emitting a harsh buzzing and trembling. ]
[However, this was carefully planned by Warmaster Horus, and Fulgrim personally presided over the construction of large-scale defenses. The covering attack of a large number of long-range artillery fire only made the surrounding black sand more charred and shiny, with only a small area
Some corners of the position that were not reinforced in time were completely reduced to burning ruins.]
[Under your command, the first wave of vanguard troops that launched a tentative attack launched their first confrontation with the Death Guard and Fulgrim's Emperor's Children. 】
[On the smoke-filled black sand battlefield, the Crow Guards, who were nimble on their feet and agile in stature, were the first to engage in extremely brutal close combat with the Emperor's Children. 】
[As countless pieces of armor were flying, Salamanders armed with flamethrowers and heavy fire weapons also joined the fierce battle against the Death Guard.]
[Immediately afterwards, on the flank of the traitor troops.]
[A group of elite veterans from the Iron Hands were like combat soldiers who were not afraid of casualties. They drove their powered armor crazily and rushed into the depths of the enemy's battle formation, launching continuous killing operations towards the Death Guard and the Emperor's Children.
.]
[At this moment, your cold gaze keeps falling on the number of Astartes battle losses refreshed in the field of view of the helmet.]
[Just judging from the ratio of battle losses between the two warring parties, your vanguard force has a slight upper hand.]
[However, not long after, a large number of World Eaters wielding chain axes faced the continuous artillery bombardment above their heads, and rushed into the fighting position like Khorne demons. 】
[Within your field of vision, the battle loss ratio of the vanguard suddenly jumped exponentially.]
[You took a deep breath and immediately issued an attack order to the Raven Guard on the left flank. 】
[Under the personal leadership of the original body Corax, tens of thousands of Raven Guards quickly drove their powered armor and launched intersecting tactics towards the center of the battlefield where the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic. 】
[The next second, Vulcan on the right wing also received your order to attack. A tall salamander carrying more heavy firepower weapons joined the increasingly fierce battle! 】
[Boom boom boom——]
[Corax, who is as big as a giant steel crow, controls the jetpack to fly quickly over the chaotic battlefield. Every time the two raven claws covering the huge palms are extended and retracted, dozens or even hundreds of people will be killed.
Countless Emperor's Children and World Eaters have become each other's dead souls!】
[Wait until Corax's huge body crashes to the ground.]
[A three-headed power whip that was several meters long wrapped around the burly bodies of several Death Guard Terminators with an indomitable fighting momentum. Corax pulled hard, and several Raven Guard hands were covered with it.
The Death Guard Terminator who inherited the life of his offspring was immediately cut into countless pieces of flesh and blood!】
[On the other side of the chaotic battlefield, the huge body belonging to Vulkan is slowly stepping through the blazing seas of fire. 】
[Countless salamanders armed with flamethrowers and heavy fire weapons kept passing by the Gene Father, and they unleashed unforgiving flame punishment on all traitors within the scope of the eyepiece's field of vision!]
[Rumble--]
[Vulkan, who has the greatest physical strength among the original bodies, waved the Dawnbringer warhammer tightly in his palm back and forth. This terrifying warhammer seemed to be brewing with invisible fluctuations. No Astartes of the traitorous legion could successfully resist it.
Come down.】
[Every time the angry-eyed Vulkan wields the Dawnbringer warhammer, dozens of traitors who want to besiege him will be blown to pieces on the spot into flesh and blood debris flying in the sky!]
【Buzz buzz----】
[At this moment, countless raider attack teams from the Sons of Horus carried jump packs and raided into the chaotic battlefield. 】
[More World Eaters wielding chain axes also crashed into the depths of the Raven Guard's large army, causing heavy casualties.]
[And surrounded by elite teams of the Emperor's Children, the gorgeous figure belonging to Fulgrim also vaguely appeared in the rear of the enemy's battle formation! 】
[At this moment, the battle damage ratio of the Astartes within your field of vision instantly rises.]
[But you have never mobilized a large number of Iron Hands belonging to Ferus. Ferus himself and the remaining nine companies of elite veterans are still waiting for the opportunity to fight on the central position. 】
[And perhaps the conversation between you and Ferus played a big role.]
[Even though the other party had noticed Fulgrim's presence in advance, he did not move the magnetic boots, but held the gorgeous hilt of the flaming sword tightly with an iron hand! 】
[In your opinion, this fierce battlefield is just an appetizer. The real meal will not begin until the four legions arriving subsequently launch a landing operation. 】
[At that time, the double attack from the rear positions and the forward positions will be the death trap prepared by Warmaster Horus for you Primarchs and hundreds of thousands of Astartes.]
[Therefore, you must reserve enough Astartes troops in advance to withstand the first wave of terrorist offensive. 】
[Even though the casualties of the fighting Astartes have become increasingly heavy, you have not sent any support teams.]
[What you want to achieve is not a victory in a mere battle, but a strategic victory in a large-scale battle.]
[You seem to be gradually becoming the strategic master Guilliman, learning to overlook the development situation of the entire battlefield from a higher dimension. 】
[Rumble--]
[It was at this moment that piles of large debris belonging to space ships suddenly appeared in the sky that had been firmly obscured by countless artillery fire and cyclone missiles, and they continued to fall towards the chaotic battlefield! 】
[Judging from the countless noisy communications reaching your ears and the wails belonging to the mortal crew.]
[Four traitor fleets supporting the Legion finally arrived around Istvan 5.]
[Because your fleet learned the truth in advance, it immediately launched an extremely fierce attack on the opponent's fleet. 】
[You took a deep breath and tightly held the Blood Scythe with green light in your palm.]
[Next, a horrific civil war that has never been seen before in the short history of the entire human empire is about to begin! 】
