Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Five: The Battle of Terra
Aeldari settlement.
Look at the various complex data displayed on the star chart.
As the great prophet of the Eldar tribe, Eldral couldn't help but feel as if his head was as big as a bucket.
Originally, through his own spiritual power, he had already seen in advance that a rebellion was about to break out within the human empire.
With the attitude that the scapegoat could never fail, he immediately wanted to give a warning to the Human Empire.
But there was something wrong with the timing and some details of that prophecy.
Originally, according to his prophecy, the time period for Horus to launch the rebellion should be a few months later, and Robert Guilliman would not fall to Lorgar easily, but the current situation went straight to something else.
Turn the direction...
"...We must get rid of that group of guys as soon as possible. Their every move is completely controlled. If we leave it alone, it will definitely cause bigger problems..."
As he spoke, Eldral also felt like he was gritting his teeth.
In his eyes, those guys were complete losers who failed to achieve anything but failed.
All will only cause trouble for yourself!
He even suspected that the organization itself contained malicious intent from the very beginning...
Originally, Eldral didn't want to pay attention to them for the time being, and wanted to wait and see for a while.
But now that things have gotten worse, for the sake of conservatism, I can only find a way to let them die early...
"As commanded."
Following his words, a group of Eldar assassins wearing light power armor slowly appeared in front of him.
, this is a special system developed by the Lucid Eldar after the destruction of the Eldar Empire.
It can allow the naturally sensitive Eldar to divert their attention and set their sights on more meaningful things, thereby avoiding the situation of falling again!
As for the assassins in front of them, they are the chosen Eldar.
After many layers of special training, they have mastered all kinds of exquisite assassination skills. They are like the sharpest blades. Even if they are to assassinate opponents who are far stronger than themselves, they still have a high probability of success.
Therefore, it is perfect for cleaning rats in the gutters.
When Eldral gave the order.
Not long after, another piece of bad news was delivered to him.
Seeing this information, Eldral's head immediately started to hurt again.
As the old rival of the Eldar Tribe, the Necrons must not allow them to recover at full speed without any interference, so this is also a matter that needs to be dealt with urgently...
By the way, even today, when they are struggling to survive and try their best to avoid large-scale conflicts with foreign races, the Eldar still regard the elimination of Necron as a daily activity. As long as they find that Necron tombs are resurrecting,
, then a large number of Eldar assassins will rush over immediately.
After all, if you don't clean up your old opponent when he's half-dead, why don't you have to wait for the opponent to fully recover before taking action?
Their behavior is not that upright.
No matter in the heyday or in the current period of decline, conspiracy and all kinds of shady means are indispensable...——
When the Eldar are in trouble.
Horus, who was continuing to advance in the direction of Terra, also felt a little sore.
He couldn't understand why so many alien races came to join in the internal struggle of the human empire.
Just a few weeks.
Horus suffered hundreds of waves of assassinations.
Among them, only one-third of the number comes from the Human Empire.
And among the remaining two-thirds, many came from alien forces that he had never even heard of.
As a former war commander, he didn't understand where the human empire got so many friendly troops.
You know, the system of the Human Empire is very exclusive!
During the Great Expedition, we basically maintained an attitude of killing every one of the alien races we encountered...
Could there be any alien allies here?
But now, many alien friendly forces have actually appeared!
Simply incredible!
'Is it possible that the Emperor has been keeping something in reserve?'
Horus was not sure of this.
In the end, looking at the attack reports that were constantly displayed on the screen in front of him, after thinking awkwardly, he could only choose to leave a part of the troops to hold back the various alien race forces, while the large forces accelerated towards Terra...
Just like that, after spending a lot of money and taking much longer than expected.
Horus finally led his huge fleet group and successfully arrived at Terra.
What he has to face next is the war defense line composed of various loyal Space Marine legions, the Custodes, Sisters of Silence, a large number of mortal auxiliaries, and even the civilians of Terra.
As the strongest and most important fortress in the entire human empire.
Tens of thousands of years later, following the many internal wars in the Human Federation, Terra once again faced repeated bombings from the fleet.
And the situation this time is still the same as before.
Or it stems from the civil strife of the human race.
Terra or the entire solar system, even since humans first entered the starry sky, has never been attacked by foreigners. Without exception, every attack was due to the emergence of civil strife. All of this has to be said to be a bit ironic.
……——
Facing the powerful anti-aircraft fire on the ground, the rebels led by Horus launched a long carpet bombing!
But all this has had little effect.
Thanks to the Human Federation's costly planet transformation project, Terra's structure at this time was too special. Even the star-destroying weapons could only scratch the surface, so conventional bombing was very difficult for the air defense facilities installed on the ground.
It feels like getting twice the result with half the effort!
On the contrary, it was the ground artillery fire that caused considerable losses to the fleet in space orbit.
As a result, when long-range fire bombing was basically useless, and the space battleship was unable to land due to the target being too large, Horus had no choice but to order various Space Marine legions to launch a difficult forced landing battle!
To put it more specifically, one person is assigned an airdrop pod, and then is forced to fall under enemy fire.
On the way, the Space Marines in the drop pod were unable to fight back or adjust their landing position.
This leads to a high probability that each space warrior will be blown up in mid-air, and even if they successfully land, there is a high probability of falling into the opponent's hinterland and being besieged...
Therefore, with this tactic, whether at the time of landing or after successful login, the life and death of the combatants can only depend on fate.
But the Space Marines who had already experienced various difficult battles in the Great Crusade had no complaints about this.
They came out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood and didn't care about the so-called risks.
As long as the superiors dare to give orders, they dare to go up.
Whether before the Fall or after the Fall, they are the best warriors.
Mind, body, and skills have all reached the ultimate level of mortals.
