The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Latest website:

For three days, Mendoza and the others had been climbing over mountains and ridges, climbing from the scorching wasteland to the edge of the mountains full of potholes.

The Slag Mountains here are a huge mountain range that stretches for thousands of kilometers and has a maximum altitude of more than 6,000 meters. However, it was not originally so majestic. It was created by the development of the Forge World for thousands of years - you can get a glimpse of it from the name.

The Slag Mountains are not just a place for discarding "waste". After reaching a huge scale, it turned into a site for the Mechanicum to recycle waste and then refine it. This seems to be a special ecology shared by all forging worlds. , but its role is far more than this. It is also a huge barrier to the north of Coke Oven City, which can withstand the violent sandstorms formed in the endless desert, so that the city located near the wasteland will not be submerged by the flowing sea of ​​sand.

Even without considering its military role, it is the most important natural barrier in Scorch Oven City.

It is precisely because of its important position that the Black Limb Order started a riot in the waste recycling area of ​​the Slag Mountains at the first moment of the riot, and sent a large number of main forces to the Slag Mountains, and quickly drove the power of the Mechanicus out of the mountainous area. Then began to build a three-dimensional defense network in the complex pits of the Slag Mountains as the northern stronghold of the Coke Oven City base camp.

When the Skitarii began to counterattack, they no longer faced a group of gene stealers, but countless tunnel fortifications and elusive guerrillas hidden in the **** mountains. The two sides subsequently broke out in a **** and long tug-of-war. .

But there is no doubt that the rugged terrain and complex and narrow tunnels have greatly limited the heavy firepower advantage of the Skitarii. The individual strength of the regular Skitarii is no better than that of ordinary new blood gene stealers, and even in There is still a slight lack of tactical flexibility.

However, although the ruling sages are dull, they are not stupid. In order to deal with the enemies hidden in the tunnels, they mobilized almost all the Sikarian troops on the planet.

A large number of Rust Seekers and Infiltrators were released into the Slag Mountains, accompanied by a small number of Greedy Vulture-type mechanized soldiers. At the same time, the Dominion Sages formulated a strategy of first occupying the commanding heights of the mountainous area and gradually infiltrating from the upper levels to the lower levels. This can maximize the air superiority of the Skitarii. It is also for this reason that the battle zone of the Slag Mountains concentrates 60% of the entire Forge World's flight force. All kinds of ornithopters and dragon-winged fliers are constantly soaring in the sky of the mountains. Like vultures ready to fight for carrion.

Such tactics still had a certain effect. The Skitarii quickly occupied the main peaks of the Slag Mountains and used their commanding advantage to attack enemy strongholds and holes on the ridges and foothills.

The Black Limb Order suffered a sharp increase in casualties under such an attack. Although they also launched several counterattacks, trying to pull out several Skitarii mountain strongholds at night, their upward attacks and the enemy's technical advantages completely eliminated their physical advantage. Offset, not only failed but also lost a large number of precious purebloods - they were the order's weapon against the assassins of the Adeptus Mechanicus in the tunnels.

But the Order cannot give up this important barrier, because once the Slag Mountains are lost, they will completely lose their strategic room for maneuver, and can only continue to send reinforcements from Scorch Oven City to fill the growing wounds.

At first, they moved in large numbers from underground, using tunnels to hide in hidden strongholds in the Slag Mountains to gather, and then dispersed to various positions. However, these shallow tunnels were quickly discovered by the Mechanicus, and most of the tunnels were destroyed with ground-penetrating bombs. The deep tunnels are unusable, and what's worse is that the dwindling supply of ammunition in the Slag Mountains also needs to be replenished by Scorch Oven City.

As a last resort, the cult could only start to move like ants, sending support troops and supply convoys to the Slag Mountains in small groups. Since they all set out at night and required a lot of camouflage, they looked like some rodents. The animal is also jokingly called the Rat Express.

However, this process must always face the threat of the Mechanicus' aerial patrols and the greedy intelligent robots patrolling the ground. The convoy may still be able to resist, but it is difficult for a small group of infantry to survive.

In fact, tens of thousands of cult members have been buried in the countless secret paths leading to the Slag Mountains.

Mendoza and the others are such a group of unlucky lucky people.

Unfortunately, their nest group of 200 people ran into the Hades Cavalry patrol of the Adeptus Mechanicus not long after they left. Although the opponent only had 20 people, because everyone in their nest group was carrying heavy supplies, they could not escape. As for when the opponent rushed over with swords and spears, they had no time to organize an effective resistance.

In just ten seconds, more than fifty new blood lay dead in the wilderness. Then when they finally started to fight back, the opponent pulled away.

But this does not mean safety, but the beginning of a nightmare.

After that, this group of underworld cavalry continued to follow them from a distance. Once they relaxed, they would immediately attack or occasionally shoot them coldly.

Under the high degree of mental tension and the fatigue caused by the heavy burden, if it were not for the dedication that bound their consciousness, this army might have collapsed long ago, but even so, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net ended up in more underworlds. After the cavalry arrived, they were scattered and most of them died under the butcher knives of the mechanical slave soldiers.

As a team leader, Mendoza could only lead his team members to run to a safe place and enter a narrow mountain road. Here, the demon cavalry would be blocked by impassable rocks sticking out of the ground. This was also their reason. The only thing that can be called lucky is that perhaps their team is the only one to survive.

"Looks like he got rid of it."

After running continuously for an hour, even their blessed bodies were still unable to hold on. They found a pit covered by rocks, unloaded their huge backpacks, and collapsed on the ground exhausted.

Although they were hungry and thirsty, they did not dare to light a fire and could only rely on their backpacks to chew precious compressed biscuits made of corpse starch.

It was already evening, the mountain wind was as sharp as a blade, the air smelled like rust, like blood, and the swollen red sun in the distance began to set for a long time.

Just when everyone was resting in silence or trembling, a low whimper sounded.

"We have to go back, we can't let his body rot there."

Mendoza turned around and saw that it was Ella, the sister of the nest team. The person she was talking about was her lover Kaiser, who was also their original captain. Mendoza was only the deputy team before.

But the man stayed with the others in order to resist the pursuit of the demon cavalry. The last scene he left for Mendoza was that half of his body was chopped off with a blood-stained saber.

Ella's sobs resonated with others. They were both comrades-in-arms and relatives. Trust and dependence on relatives and family members were the core of the order's existence and the fundamental driving force for their development under the cruel oppression of mechanical slave owners. Therefore, They are not really as indifferent to death as those mechanical slave masters.
