Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 105 02.0104: ‘Bloody Day’ (Thanks to JDjason for the leader reward!)

Some of the Anointed of Khorne murmured strange spells, and the blood runes on the ground surged faster, forming a circle covering the entire church vestibule.

The elder sister wearing a black headscarf rushed out and saw the unclean mark on the ground in the courtyard.

She knew what this meant with her rich experience, and immediately called on the people who were chanting hymns in the church to pay attention, and her voice became louder.

The Holy Rose Battle Sisters who formed the battle line poured fire rain on the invaders while chanting hymns.

With the efforts of many devout people, this filthy rune can be said to have stopped here. It tried to flow into the church, but once it touched the steps below, it would begin to evaporate into black blocks, forcing it to retreat.

It wanted to desecrate the defiled place, but there were tens of thousands of people accumulating the power of faith.

Although the individual is small, the faith of such a large scale still makes this holy place radiate the glory of faith and is sacred and inviolable.

At the same time in the void, dozens of frigates patrolled near the Abyss Port.

They fired multiple search beacons, but still could not find the attackers.

Captain Afir stood on the bridge of the battle barge, squinting his eyes and alerting the surroundings.

All the Blood Angels could feel the pure murderous breath. Although they did not find these enemies hiding in the broken stars and garbage debris, they did feel this disgusting existence.

"Increase the search frequency of the auspicious instrument to the maximum, find that guy, I want to tear his head off with my own hands." Captain Afir gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

At this time, in a meteorite.

On the scarlet warship, a Khorne warrior warlock wearing scarlet ceramic steel armor and a horned pig-faced helmet was secretly accumulating unclean energy with Khorne's servants.

They surrounded the scarlet magic circle with the symbol of Khorne, and in the middle knelt eight human captives with their flesh pierced by iron hooks. These people were the sacrifices of the ceremony, their eyes were red, and they roared hoarsely.

"My lord, the ground has already fulfilled the conditions of our great ceremony!" A withered old man with blood in his eyes and a mouthful of ferocious fangs said ecstatically.

"Blood and skull, no matter whose it is, the master will like it!"

"There are three of his descendants in front of us! Our master is already thirsty, He wants the blood of the blood angels, He wants more!" The warrior warlock held a sword in one hand and a staff in the other.

He walked forward, swung the sword fiercely, and neatly cut off eight heads.

The heads fell to the ground, gurgling with blood.

Then, he used the bloody sword to cut a blood mark on his hand, letting the black blood drip onto the ground and merge with the blood.

The magic circle suddenly burst out with a dazzling scarlet light, and a hideous skeleton with horns laughed horribly in the flames. The laughter echoed throughout the cabin, and the warriors on the ship wearing brass baroque armor roared excitedly.

"Let the angels bleed!!!"

In front of the Church of the Goddess of Heaven, the blood rune on the ground emitted an extremely dazzling light.

Except for the fighting nuns, almost everyone was affected by this strange power.

Horatio felt a hot and surging anger boiling in his heart, and the evil whispers lingering in his ears made him feel irritated. He now wanted to kill this guy who was nagging in his ears with a sword.

In an instant, the air under the church seemed to be split by a sword, and a crack burning with raging fire was torn out of thin air in the air.

But almost at the same time, a golden light bursting from the statue of the saint on the top of the church interrupted the expansion of the tear.

The crack was not completely open, revealing only a narrow black mouth that was two meters high but not spacious.

Behind the crack were countless blood-red eyes that had been waiting for a long time.

"God Emperor, it's a demon! Sisters, line up! Destroy these filthy things!" The elder sister shouted.

A large group of hunchbacked demons with pointed heads, goat horns, and slightly shorter than humans jumped out of the crack. Their torsos were black and red, and they arrogantly waved black swords that were almost as tall as a person. The swords burned with ominous red flames, and their twisted and disgusting purple-red tongues greedily licked the blood in the air.

[It's a bloodletter! ]

As a traverser, Horatio knew that these demons were the vanguards of Khorne's army. They were cruel and barbaric. Although their strength was not strong among demons, they were numerous, and the 'Blade of Hell' had a powerful destructive power comparable to that of a decomposition stand under the unclean blessing of the subspace.

There were so many of them that they flooded the entire courtyard, killing indiscriminately while heading into the church and outward.

No matter whether that person was a soldier of the Emperor or a supporter of the Blood God, they only wanted his head.

All the imperial soldiers retreated to the steps in front of the church, blocking the scarlet tide from swallowing them.

"Servants of the false emperor, your heads will decorate his throne!" A bloodletter rushed towards Horatio, and he could hear them speaking hoarsely and vaguely in human language.

"Don't even think about it!" Horatio shouted, swinging his sword to cut.

The black blade and the red sword collided with each other, and two similar but different murderous intentions burst out instantly.

The unclean evil spirit allowed Horatio to feel the power of Khorne's tyrant most directly.

But Old K was not partial. As long as they were warriors, whether they were loyal to him or not, they could get the same combat power blessing.

The vampire's attack was swift and fierce. After a few moves, Horatio found that its attack was haphazard. It simply swung the Hellblade and used the most primitive brute force.

[These demons are not smart. ]

After realizing the fighting mentality of these demons, Horatio quickly conceived countermeasures based on what he had learned.

Horatio first used the strong part of the sword to parry and repel it. Before it swung the sword, he immediately turned a forward stab into a horizontal slash, deceiving its oblique slash, and the high-speed rotating roaring sawtooth slashed across its face.

The vampire screamed, his body began to catch fire, and turned into ashes. Soon he disappeared from Horatio's sight, leaving nothing behind.

[This is the devil, an entity without a real universe...]

"Uh..." Horatio felt a headache, which was the swelling pain brought by anger. The desire to fight and the killing intent in his heart were hard to suppress. An impulse called him to jump down from the high ground to fight the devil, but Horatio still relied on his perseverance to restrain this reckless behavior.

But some Cadian soldiers were also affected by the power of Khorne. They roared wildly, gave up the orderly alternating shooting, and directly shouted "For the Emperor" and rushed down with bayonets, regardless of anyone's obstruction.

"Come back! Hold the front line!!!" Horatio roared, grabbing a soldier and pushing him behind him. The soldier who sat on the steps saw Horatio's terrible expression and fierce eyes, and the fear in his heart gradually made him regain his sanity.

Other veterans, nuns and blood angels were also blocking and maintaining the front line. After some efforts, most people were pulled back to the front line.

But a few soldiers at the front had already rushed into the demon group without hesitation, fighting bravely with the demons, and the endless waves soon submerged them. It was like throwing a stone into the water and hearing a sound.

The soldiers who went down were chopped down one after another, their heads were cruelly cut off, and the bloodletters who snatched the spoils were like happy children, screaming terrible words, holding their heads high and throwing them into the cracks.

[+Everyone! Enter the church quickly! Otherwise, the scarlet power will erode your sanity! +] The elder sister shouted.

[+Retreat immediately! +] Horatio used the hand of command to assign new battle positions, and the remaining troops began to retreat in an orderly manner under his command.

Fortunately, he had the help of the hand of command, otherwise, judging from the current situation, the defense would easily turn into a disorderly collapse.

The battle sisters recited the purity prayer to dilute the impact of the bloodthirsty rage on the soldiers. They saw the battle position projections Horatio had given them, and they retreated in turn in order, then quickly turned around and fired at the vampires chasing behind them, covering the next group of people rushing up, and the cycle repeated, and no one was killed on the way back to defense.

Horatio was sweating profusely, and his high-speed thinking made him feel a little distressed. But with his hard work, as a garrison officer, he retained as much manpower as possible for the defense line inside the Church of the Goddess of Heaven.

Everything seemed to be within control, and they should be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrived.

"Sister Claire! Watch out behind you!" Sister Arabella shouted.

Thousands of vampires rushed up the stairs, jumped onto the Rhino armored vehicle through the stairs, and attacked the battle sister operating the roof-mounted grenade gun from behind.

"Ah!!!" The battle sister screamed in pain.

Her chest was pierced from behind by a burning blade, and blood stained the holy silver armor red and sprinkled on her gust of wind grenade gun.

"Go to hell...demon. Cough cough."

The strong combat nun coughed up a mouthful of blood, used the last bit of strength to pull away the high-explosive grenade in her hand, and leaned weakly on the hatch.

Bang!

The bloodletting vampires surrounding the Rhino troop carrier were instantly exiled by the explosion, covering the retreat and also shattering the nun's body. She did not let her head be defiled by the evil god.

Although the gaps created by the explosion were quickly filled by a new batch of bloodletting vampires, all the remaining defenders had passed the long steps and reached the top of the staircase platform to reorganize the battle line.

At the same time, in the fleet military intelligence headquarters.

Countless naval officers ran in the narrow aisles with documents under their arms. Rows of tables were piled with coordinated planning tables for flying vehicles and attack forces. The contact lines for requesting assistance and assigning troops never stopped, and everyone was exhausted.

"Listen, I don't care about the bullshit you say! Even if you are the Archbishop, even if the relationship between the State Church and the Holy Rose Battle Sisters is bad! I will withdraw troops from the upper nest and the top of the tower to support the Celestial Church. If you have the guts, ask the Star Region Navy Department to remove me from my position!" Vice Admiral Hood slapped his hand on the table and yelled. After a whole day of phone calls, his voice had begun to hoarse.

"Report to your Excellency, a subspace rift has appeared in the direction of the Celestial Church, and demons... are pouring into the church. There are too many of them, and the outer reinforcements can't get in! We have suffered heavy losses." Commander Elphinstone took the report from Lina and hurried to Vice Admiral Hood.

Faced with the news of the appearance of demons, the experienced Vice Admiral Hood did not show too much surprise, but this news was enough to make him worried.

At the same time, a message from his daughter was also delivered to him.

'++Dad, the church is about to be captured by demons, Horatio and the rest of the people are preparing for a do-or-die battle inside, I beg you, I beg you to send more support immediately, please forgive my willfulness. Love your daughter - Farida++’

The Vice Admiral's face showed no emotion. He hung up the call from the Archbishop by slapping his hand on the phone, and then transferred the call to the captain of the Retribution-class battleship 'Sacred Will':

"Put all the naval armed forces that are ready to join me in the expedition to the Heavenly Maiden Church! Send as many aircraft as possible... Yes, I'm sure! I am the commander-in-chief of this battle fleet, and I have the right to issue such an order! I will bear all the responsibilities for delaying the expedition! Execute immediately! Captain! Otherwise, I don't mind letting the fleet political commissar point a gun at your head to implement my order!"

Vice Admiral Hood leaned on the table tiredly and breathed a sigh of relief, sweat constantly rolling down his head. The general mobilization order for the expedition fleet has been issued.

But he was uneasy in his heart. Even if the order had been issued, the main force of the armed forces that entered the void would take at least one and a half Terra hours to reach the vicinity of the Heavenly Maiden Church by vehicle, and it would also take time to launch an attack on the church.

The communication was strongly interfered by psychic energy. He didn't know what the situation of the Heavenly Maiden Church was now, but it was definitely not optimistic. He prayed that his mobilization order would be in time.

He didn't want to see his daughter cry again on St. Guinness Day, just like the day her mother died eight years ago.

[Horatio, hold on! If Farida is sad because you died, I will rush to the Golden Throne to pull you back! ]

Lieutenant General Hood bit his lip until it bled, veins popped out on the back of his hand, and he slowly and heavily punched the mahogany table full of documents.

Thanks to the reader, JDjason, for the 100,000 starting coins reward.

Thank you very much to the reader Time Sage for the reward to the Imperial Document Court!

JDjason: In Warhammer Grim Dark, the unyielding courage and strategic wisdom of mortals are praised. The author's entry point is very good and very creative in Warhammer fan fiction. I look forward to the subsequent story development! Although the Astartes canned in land battles/boarding is the dominant force driving the story line in the Warhammer world view, the expansion of the human empire is rooted in the adventure of the navy and the prosperity of civilian society. I hope this book can also write something new in fleet technology, tactics and mortal politics, and open up another possibility in the Warhammer worldview. Come on, author!

Thank you JDjason for your support and love. After the book was launched today, the support from readers far exceeded my imagination. I will continue to improve my ability to write stories and write good stories. I will not forget my original intention of writing this story. Thank you again, thank you very much!
