Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 316 05.0315: ‘White Hell’

“Ah, it’s damn cold. Hans, the coffee you brewed is really unpalatable. If you add those ingredients next time, I will throw you out. You are not allowed to enter the house without your broken tongue to lick the frozen barrel.”

“You dare to complain when you have something to drink. The running dogs of the pseudo-emperor have surrounded the orbit of the planet. You won’t even have coffee grounds to drink in a while.”

“The servants of the Corpse King arrived really quickly. There was a flying vehicle passing through the divination radar yesterday, and the superiors asked us to fire a round of artillery shells. What do you think it was?”

“Who knows, maybe it was the Alicia airborne soldiers, or it could be the Harakoni people. I heard about these before I learned the truth. The guy was airdropped on a Valkyrie."

"Then they are dead. No one can survive in the wilderness where the heart of the false emperor is as cold as his. "

"They deserved to die. After drinking coffee, go and clear the ice on the gun mount. The superiors asked us to do so. This damn weather has frozen the rotating gun mount."

"What are you afraid of? In this weather, will the servants of the false emperor dare to land? Even if they land, they will be frozen to death when they rush here from tens of thousands of kilometers away."

"That's true. Anyway, after clearing the ice, it will freeze again after a while."

"Ah, cut it! Ah, I'm freezing to death. Let's go in and warm up."

Two rebel soldiers stood on the air defense tower and looked out at the endless snowfield for a while. Soon they were ready to return to the warm room.

Just as one of the rebels turned around, he saw a few black dots running on the snowfield.

When he tried to see more clearly, a gust of wind and snow blew over again, making him shiver with cold.

"What are you still doing there? Come in and close the door. If you don't want to come in, close the door. Ah, I'm freezing."

"It's snowing so hard, I suspect I have snow blindness." After observing again after the snowstorm but finding nothing, the rebel soldier hurried into the house with his gun on his back, and the door slammed shut behind him.

On the snowy plain, the Hell's Vanguard, dressed in blue to black, rode in a Taurus assault vehicle painted white, speeding through the snow.

The reason why they didn't paint their armor white was because they would not choose to fight the enemy in the open snow.

The dark and deep interior of the fortress was their intended battlefield.

Collingwood stepped on the accelerator in the driver's seat and was responsible for being the driver of this boring journey.

Horatio sat in the co-pilot and fiddled with the data board in the snowstorm, while Louise stood on the rear seat of the twin laser cannon mount, using the vehicle-mounted auspicious instrument to guard the surroundings.

The Taurus assault vehicle had no glass and was windy on all sides.

Fortunately, the temperature position device of the power armor is constantly conducting the waste heat emitted from the power backpack into the internal circulation system, maintaining a body temperature of about 23 degrees inside the power armor.

Horatio was busy for a moment. He was issuing instructions to the teams in various war zones. Almost all the teams in the war zones adopted the same combat strategy - paralyzing the heavy anti-aircraft fortress - especially the giant cannon that would pose a fatal threat to the orbital landing.

Relying on the advanced detection equipment carried by the Hell Sniper.

The convoy bypassed the scattered tracked vehicle patrols of the enemy on the road.

The blizzard had an excellent shielding effect. A mobile patrol consisting of a Leman Russ tank controlled by the rebels and two Chimeras once passed by them through a layer of wind and snow. The two were only 50 meters apart on the auspicious instrument.

Horatio had issued an order to only fire in self-defense. Unless there was a threat to oneself, one should not easily expose one's whereabouts, otherwise once the enemy soldiers were alert and assembled, the entire mission would most likely be abandoned.

Even if it was him, he would not let the Cobra-class destroyer carry out suicide bombing on the fortress at the risk of being hit by two 180-meter-caliber cannon shells.

Using a warship for a ground anti-aircraft fortress in a 1-for-1 exchange is a loss anyway.

According to the intelligence collected by Horatio, the exposed small and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns have basically been frozen, and the large-caliber cannons are not a big threat to the high-speed fighters. The speed of these void fighters is several times that of the Valkyrie.

As long as they can shut down the weather control system, once the blizzard stops, when the pilots can effectively visually see the target, the Hell Vanguards can call for air-to-ground fire support.

He has sent back the coordinates of the small and medium-sized anti-aircraft turrets observed along the way to the aviation department, and his lieutenants are busy arranging the order of support on the ship.

As long as the weather returns to normal, Horatio will give an order, and the Starhawk bombers and the Fury interceptors will be able to carpet bomb the frozen small and medium-sized anti-aircraft artillery turrets, and use the wrath of the God Emperor to "thaw" them.

If the orbital bombardment cannon is paralyzed, the Cobra-class destroyer can use the bombardment light spear to carry out a destructive bombardment on the ground coordinates.

Therefore, whether it is to shut down the weather control device first or paralyze the orbital bombardment cannon first, the Hell Vanguards can get more support, but the type is different.

"Archie, report the relative position."

"It is at position 097.335, only four kilometers away from the destination "Code A" turret."

"Everyone is ready. When there is 1.2 kilometers left to the target, get off the car and walk forward."

"Yes, sir."

——

Horatio and Louise were lying on a slope covered with snow, using the tactical observation device on the helmet and the advanced optical reconnaissance eyepiece in hand to conduct forward reconnaissance.

In front of the two was a huge fortress covered in snow. This fortress was a city built around a high mountain. The iconic Gothic buildings of the Empire stood tall in the city.

The main structure was a bastion structure. The anti-aircraft defense turning point platform protruding outside the city wall was equipped with a twin 210mm high-altitude and flat-air dual-purpose artillery that had shot them down before.

Behind the city wall was a group of buildings with spires piercing the sky. If Horatio guessed correctly, there should be barracks, logistics warehouses, garrisons, etc., where personnel lived.

In the innermost part, the taller city walls protected a huge building and a "mountain".

The building was a spire that soared into the sky, built behind the mountain.

That should be the climate control device in the intelligence.

As long as the switch was destroyed after adjustment, the climate within one or two thousand kilometers around would become clear and sunny, and the enemy could not change this fact in a short time.

The other "mountain" is huge, stretching for several kilometers, like a mountain range, guarded by a cluster of black spires.

Its style looks quite old, perhaps a technological product left over from the Age of Strife, obtained by the Iron Warriors and reproduced.

A dark iron skull is engraved on the barrel. Even if it is not activated at this moment, the mere existence of the giant cannon exudes a majestic momentum and captivates the mind.

Its recoil is so huge that there is no extra building behind the inner wall, only the giant cannon body and the Gothic spire matrix on it.

This big and strong, simple and magnificent appearance is the original Iron Warrior flavor in Horatio's mind.

The product of the combination of roughness and pure violence.

"The action team is divided into three groups, with one group reserved as a reserve.

I, Louise, Collingwood, and... that servitor are in one group.

The rest of the people are divided into four groups, and the remaining two people and the Valkyrie pilot are in one group as a reserve.

In the remaining time, each group will conduct a preliminary reconnaissance of the fortress on the principle of not exposing themselves, and wait until nightfall, and the action will officially begin."

"Yes, Captain."

Several groups dispersed and conducted reconnaissance in all directions. They used three-dimensional imaging devices to draw the general outline of the fortress and the information of the sentry tower, and uploaded them to the action area network.

Immediately afterwards, the scouts released the C.A.T drones and servo skulls for close reconnaissance.

These unmanned equipment quietly infiltrated the fortress through sewers, ventilation pipes, and maintenance passages.

Horatio looked at the layout of the fortress, which was originally full of dark fog. As the puzzle pieces were pieced together and gradually lit up, the general division of the use of the blocks became clear.

The barracks is located inside the first wall. It is a particularly tall Gothic building. The glorious double-headed eagle emblem on it has long disappeared, replaced by a distorted and blasphemous eight-pointed star symbol.

Although there are many sentry points on it, most of them are either empty or have only one or two people looking around absent-mindedly.

The snow has seriously blocked the roads of this "military city", although the rebels once tried to use Leman Russ with a shovel installed on the front to shovel the snow and clear a path.

But not long after, due to the lack of thawing lubricating oil, the transmission shafts of these Leman Russ were frozen.

The streets of the entire city are now unmaintained and there are almost no vehicles driving. At first glance, it looks like a dead city.

In an environment of minus 40 to 50 degrees, it is a very risky thing for sentries to change shifts.

According to the images sent by the servo skull, some rebel sentries were crushed to death by large pieces of snow falling from the upper floors, and some people died of hypothermia while walking on the road.

The heavy firepower weapons on the sentry tower platform are hung with sharp icicles. Even if there are people stationed, those sentries dare not walk out of the relatively warm sentry box.

The original disadvantage has now turned into an advantage for the Hell Vanguards.
