Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The explosion occurred at the airport. The first bomb fell on the transport fuselage on the tarmac. In the blink of an eye, the huge aerial bird turned into burning fragments all over the sky. The huge wings broke and smashed onto the runway. The raging fire instantly ignited everything around him with the spilled gasoline.

The paratroopers who boarded the plane behind him were blown to pieces. Their broken hands and feet were wrapped in blood-stained clothes and fell on the surface of the entire runway. The god of death roared from the sky and rushed across the ground with a shadow, leaving The bomb was dropped again, destroying another transport plane parked on the standby level.

The Valkyrie exploded instantly, and its explosion spread to other transport planes parked nearby, causing the entire airport to burst into flames. The steel fragments tumbled and danced in the flames, drawing a long arc in the air.

The attack plane swooped over the ground. The soldier standing on the roof of the armored vehicle held the machine gun on the roof, tightened the trigger, and fired violently. Following the extremely fast fighter plane, it rushed past like a phantom, and then something happened at the oil depot in the distance. Explode.

The huge rising fireball illuminated the entire airport. The soldiers on the roof of the armored vehicle continued to fire fiercely into the air. Around him, the Astra Militarum soldiers on the runway began to scatter in search of cover. Many people raised their lasers. The laser gun was aimed at the enemy aircraft in the sky and fired, but they were too fast and the laser gun could not hit at all.

The Astra Militarum have faced a lot of bombings. They have seen the carpet bombings of green-skinned fighters, the death strafing fire of the Necrons that can disintegrate everything, and the roaring and terrifying bombings of the Chaos Daemon Engines, but all of this, all of them None are more threatening than these silent reapers now.

Like the Eldar, the Tau's bombers are significantly different from the Empire's. They are quieter, but at the same time lightning fast. When they rush over the airport, they are like a flock of silent birds, with only the large belly opening. Mouth, you can only feel their presence when they drop the bomb.

In units of several Tau fighters, they continuously swooped down from the sky, then pulled up again and rotated at high altitude, and then dived again, dropping deadly bullets. This tactic, known as the windmill of death, coupled with the advanced firepower of the Tau Control technology and smart bombs turned into a real whirlwind of death.

The Astra Militarum did not expect to be attacked at all. Before this, the Tau and the Empire did not go to war, and the situation did not escalate to a level of visible tension. But now, the war started overnight, and they were beaten. They were caught off guard. The airport was severely lacking in air defense and faced the incoming enemy with bare hands.

Surgical air strikes destroyed a large number of Imperial fighter planes parked at the airport one by one. The Lightning fighter planes and the Valkyrie Squadron were blown up into charred wreckage by precision bombs dropped overhead before they even made it onto the runway. , the sky has now been controlled by these abominable aliens.

The fighter plane roared past with a scream of death. It dropped a bomb and exploded among the paratroopers on the runway. It instantly sprinkled a rain of blood. The red raindrops hit Kane's body, and he bent over. , lowered his body and fell behind a Leman Russ.

"Medic!" A shout came from a distance, mixed with more screams, curses and shouts asking what happened, but in fact everyone knew that they were being attacked by air strikes.

Kane leaned behind the car, and a shadow flew over his head. He looked up, and the soldier on the roof of the tank turned around, and the heavy machine gun in his hand followed the roaring fighter plane and opened fire. Hot bullet casings kept falling from En's head.

Kane's skin was burned for a moment, and he immediately leaned to the side, and then leaned on the shoulder of the person next to him. Only then did he realize that it was Vito. He also hid behind the tank and looked up. Looking at the shadows that keep passing quickly above my head.

Beside him, Loken was holding a bolt gun and firing fiercely into the air. The burly body of the Space Marine stood on the runway, raising the muzzle high to track the enemy aircraft that were diving as fast as vultures, and the bolt bombs kept roaring. , the bullet casings fell from the barrel like a machine gun, clanking on the ground.

It rushed over Loken's head and blew up the Lightning fighter planes on the far apron. They all exploded into balls of fire that mixed together and swept through most of the airport in the blink of an eye.

The Astra Militarum who were firing in the air in front were swallowed up instantly, their flesh and blood screamed in the fire, and finally fell to the ground, their bodies covered with fire. Kane looked in that direction and cursed, "What the fuck is that?" ?”

"Tau fighter plane." Vito looked at the black dots swooping down in the sky, grabbed Kane by the collar, and pulled him out of the tank. They rushed out of the tank range. The machine gunner on the roof squatted down and lifted The machine gun fired at the fighter plane, and then it exploded together with the tank.

The turret was thrown up, spinning in the air, and then suddenly hit the ground. Loken followed the two men, turned around and fired in the air while retreating. He fired the gun and seemed to hit a fighter plane. The thing's wings spurted flames, and then suddenly fell at a low altitude, hit the runway and exploded.

Loken looked at the explosion, and then suddenly looked up at another fighter plane that was swooping towards him. It fired fiercely at the ground, and Loken jumped back, dodging the bullets that swept towards him. screen.

Loken moved in and put on a new magazine. They hid under the wall, but here, hiding with them were members of the Tau envoy.

They were lucky enough to be alive and not killed by their own bombs, nor by the Astra Militarum who were being bombarded by their Tau brethren and might have been angry enough to shoot them.

"Damn it! Tau guys! Are you doing a sneak attack?! Undeclared war?!" Kane yelled behind Vito.

Il Solas immediately showed anger, yelled and waved the palms of his four hands, "We will never do such a despicable act! Only you humans can do it!"

"Okay, shut up!" Vito yelled, stopping the two guys. "Contact your fighter planes. No matter what the reason is for them to come here, tell them you are here and stop bombing immediately."

"Believe me, we've tried it a long time ago and can't contact them at all." Renly lowered his head in the explosion. Above the hangar behind them, the black shadow of a vulture rushed past at low altitude and dropped the bomb. When it came down, the bomb exploded on the runway and instantly rose into flames. An Imperial fighter plane that rushed onto the runway and tried to take off to attack was destroyed, and the flames rose like a fire cloud in winter.

The anti-aircraft guns rang, and the anti-aircraft guns behind the sandbags finally began to fire into the air. The multiple gun barrels fired the shells into the sky, tracking the enemy planes and firing fiercely. Around them, more anti-aircraft guns were dragged onto the runway. Star Boundary The soldiers worked together to push the anti-aircraft guns.

Vito looked at them and tilted his head and shouted, "Where's Castine?"

"Dead, or directing a counterattack! Look! Sura is here!" Kane pointed and shouted. On an anti-aircraft gun in the distance, Sura was sitting on the shooter's seat, holding the gun in his hand. The muzzle fired fiercely, turning the muzzle to follow the surroundings and diving down to fire with all its strength.

But Castine isn't here, she's either dead or somewhere leading her soldiers in a full-scale counterattack.

Fighter planes swooped down and dropped bombs. The battlefield church was blown up, and the ceiling of the entire hangar was smashed through. The power of faith did not protect it. The bomb exploded in it, and fire rushed out from the warehouse door in an instant.

The emperor's statue car at the door was also affected and turned into flying fragments. The symbol of the immortal God Emperor also turned into golden fragments, flying all over the sky.

"Damn it! Jurgen is dead!" Kane squatted and yelled. Vito looked back at the roof of the hangar that was lifted off. It rolled in the air with flames, and then suddenly hit the runway and landed on the ground. Next to a tractor-trailer riddled with bullet holes, its driver was lying on the door, having been beaten to a pulp.

Enemy planes rushed over the car, turned in the air and then fired violently at the ground. The barrage passed by Vito, and several Astra Militarum soldiers who were shooting in the air were reduced to blood mist.

"We must knock them down." "How?!" "Follow me, and you guys will follow." Vito looked at the Tau next to him and said, facing the bombing, he remained surprisingly calm.

Solas immediately frowned, "You want us to help you fight our people?" "Your people are throwing bombs above our heads. Unless you have eyes from the bombs, for the sake of the Greater Good and the Emperor." For my sake, keep up."

Vito yelled and rushed out. Kane also yelled and threw away his tattered coat and followed. The former rushed to the side of the tractor, suddenly turned over and jumped onto the multi-barreled anti-aircraft gun behind the vehicle. He sat on The shooter held the trigger.

"Reload."

Kane tore off the ammunition box from the car body, but the thing was locked. Kane cursed and pulled out the laser gun that had no energy, pointed the butt of the gun at the lock and hit it several times, and then he was suddenly shot towards After pulling it open, Solas raised his pistol and shot to break the lock. Kane quickly opened it and picked up a folder of ammunition.

He turned around and stepped onto the chassis of the anti-aircraft gun, and suddenly inserted the magazine into the barrel. On the other side, Solas also inserted the magazine. With the clicking sound of the shell being loaded, Vito stepped down violently. The firing pedal was pressed, the anti-aircraft guns roared instantly, and they fired fiercely at the air fighters.

Solas and Kane stood beside Vito holding the magazine. They looked at the enemy plane in the sky. Solas raised his long blue finger and pointed to the left.

"There! Enemy plane!"

Vito suddenly looked at the swooping enemy plane. He stepped on the steering pedal at his feet, but the entire gun body did not move at all. Vito saw sparks ejected from the base.

"The steering motor is broken! Manual steering!"

Vito shouted, and Renly had reached the other side of the barrel next to him. He turned his transcode violently. The body structure of the Tau obviously did not allow them to do strenuous exercise. He gasped for air and turned. That compass.

"Hurry up!" Vito yelled, and Kane and Solas looked at the swooping fighter plane, its muzzle pointed at them, and the barrage poured down, hitting the runway and approaching rapidly.

"Renly!" Thoras yelled. Renly cursed in the language of the Tau, and suddenly pressed his whole body on the turntable, turning it to the bottom in an instant. The anti-aircraft gun turned around, Vito aimed at the fighter plane and stepped on the pedal fiercely. The shells roared out and hit the fuselage of the fighter plane. The fighter plane instantly spurted out flames, rushed over their heads, and fell to the ground.

Kane turned his head and looked at the explosion of fire. Vito cursed and pressed down the back of the seat, leaning back, "Stop looking! Lift the muzzle! Quick!"

He yelled, and Thoras of the Fire Clan immediately went up, pushed the exhausted Renly away, grabbed the hand and turned it violently. His speed was much faster, and the entire base of the anti-aircraft gun was quickly raised, and the multiple tubes The cannon was pointed at the sky, and Vito leaned back in his chair and stared at the sky, firing fiercely.

Since humans and the Tau can fight side by side, they stand together, facing the numerous enemy planes roaring overhead. Rains of bullets continue to explode in the air, sending sparks blooming around them.

On the anti-aircraft gun, Kane cursed loudly at the group of vultures swooping down above his head. The curses sounded in Vito's ears like the staggered multi-barreled cannons on the left and right.

He sat back in his chair, aimed at a Tau fighter plane and pressed the pedal to blow it up. The fighter plane smashed down towards them, and raging black smoke swept the sky. It flew over several people's heads, fell to the runway and exploded. .

There was a burst of cheers all around, and the remaining vultures all fled. They flew into the sky and disappeared behind the clouds.

"Won?" Kane asked.

"No, that's not even the beginning."
