615, Death Watch: Death of Time (VI)

[Boom boom——]

[Accompanied by the pale red star that just rose on the horizon of the Holy Land World.

[One by one, the Astartes airborne pods wrapped in heavy flames fell like metal meteorites from the sky, landing on the desolate land where the smoke and flames had not yet dissipated. ]

[Dong Dong Dong! ]

[The first to land were the first batch of dreadnought airborne pods carrying eight ancient warriors. ]

[After the reverse thrust rocket successfully splashed countless gravel and dust, as the airborne pod hatches fell to the ground one after another, the 5.5-meter-high cast iron dreadnought mechas slowly moved their huge metal bodies and stepped out of the airborne pods. ]

[Almost at the same time, the Astartes airborne pods carrying 89 Death Watch and the Son of Medusa also landed heavily, successfully splashing countless dust and gravel. ]

[At this moment, the hatch of one of the airborne pods fell to the ground. ]

[You drive the fine power armor Spark Glory, step on the magnetic boots and step onto the scorched earth surface of the Holy Land World again. ]

[And in one of your vibranium palms, a covenant staff from the Necrons, exuding a faint green glow all over the body, is exposed to the polluted air. ]

[Death Watch never prohibits the use of alien weapons. ]

[Even in order to fight against the many alien races in the void of the universe, their combat philosophy has always maintained the pragmatism of learning from the barbarians to defeat the barbarians. ]

[However, in order to avoid inspection and trial from the Empire, Death Watch has always been very secretive about this and never revealed any information to the outside world. ]

[So, when you, the Primarch, subconsciously asked the two Death Watch captains whether they were carrying Necrons melee weapons, the subtle expressions on their faces were quite wonderful. ]

[However, the Blood Scythe or the Super Phase Sword you were expecting did not appear, but an ancient weapon that had been treasured by the Death Watch in this star zone for at least a thousand years. The Staff of the Covenant became your exclusive weapon. ]

[At this moment, you lowered your head slightly and checked the equipment hanging on the waist of the power armor through the eyepiece. ]

[In addition to a storm bolter, there is also an 'entropy' lightsaber and a few stasis bombs in the Death Watch. ]

[In fact, this effective method of using stasis bombs to resist the 'entropy' force field of the Hrud came from the proposal of a Black Shield Dreadnought. ]

[Even in the Death Watch, Black Shield Astartes who concealed their origins and became completely anonymous are very rare, not to mention the ancient warriors who were lucky enough to be buried in the Dreadnought. ]

[And you also judged from the other party's almost mechanical speech and behavior. ]

[This is most likely a loyalist from the Iron Warriors, and he may have even participated in the Great Crusade of the rebellious Primarch Perturabo against the Hrud. ]

[Dong Dong Dong——]

[As the killing teams quickly gathered, all the Death Watch and the remaining Sons of Medusa gathered behind you.

[You did not hesitate at all and held the Staff of the Covenant tightly. ]

[You immediately led the Astartes to march towards the center of the Holy Land City, which had been ravaged by orbital bombardment. ]

[Even though the orbital bombardment that lasted for twelve hours did not cause much damage to the entire Hrud population. ]

[But the complex cave entrances they kept digging out were also clearly exposed to the scorching light of the pale red star. ]

[Boom——]

[At this moment, as the Primarch, you became the sharp spearhead of the entire attack team, and following behind you were eight huge dreadnoughts and Astartes ready to go. ]

[You quickly selected a wide underground cave that was big enough for the dreadnoughts to enter side by side, and used it as the target for the attack. ]

[As soon as one of your magnetic boots stepped into it, a series of 'entropy' physical warheads from the depths of the dark cave kept passing through the filthy air and kept attacking the front of your power armor! ]

[Swish, swish, swish! ]

[Without any hesitation, you raised the Staff of the Covenant in your palm, and lethal green beams that almost illuminated the entire cave passage shot out one after another! ]

[This high-level Necromancer weapon, which is usually only used by the Three Holy Guards of the Space Necromancer, also has the ability to attack from a distance. ]

[In an instant, the Hruds who were slowly advancing deep in the passage suddenly exploded into pools of burning ash clouds. 】

【With the roar of several dreadnoughts stepping forward, and the twin laser cannons or jets of flames constantly bursting out from their sides, a large number of Hruds quickly became evaporated corpses without even releasing the 'entropy energy' force field! 】

【At this moment, every time you advance a distance while holding the Staff of the Covenant and firing continuously, the dreadnoughts behind you quickly advance a distance, and those Astartes holding storm bolters are not impatient and pressing forward step by step. 】

【It seems that it is this ancient fighting method from the Iron Warriors and the special limitations of the underground cave environment that caused the Hruds who tried to launch a counterattack to suffer heavy casualties. 】

【And as time slowly passed, you continued to advance without losing a single combatant, and successfully entered the depths of the Hrud underground cave. 】

【However, at this time, more Hruds appeared in your helmet visor. 】

【The increasingly wide underground cave is no longer suitable for the previous battle advancement mode, which means that a real hard battle has just begun. 】

【You suddenly raised one hand and clenched it into a fist, waving it at the Dreadnoughts and Deathwatch behind you. 】

【You quickly activated the power armor, holding the Staff of the Covenant and launched a terrifying battle charge towards the Hruds in front of you. 】

【In an instant, the terrifying laser beams and explosive firepower that illuminated the entire underground cave were constantly intertwined with the Hruds' "entropy energy" physical warheads, and completely played the opening song of this war. 】

【As the number of Hruds continued to increase, the horror of the "entropy energy" force field gradually emerged. ]

[Some Astartes who accidentally broke into the range of the ‘entropy energy’ force field aged rapidly, and even the reaction movements between their limbs gradually slowed down! ]

[Boom——]

[At this moment, a time beam that seemed to distort even the air suddenly erupted from a circular infantry fighting machine of the Hrud. ]

[You reacted quickly and performed the Shadow Step without hesitation. The whole person instantly turned into a dark shadow and ran around in the already dark underground cave. ]

[At the same time, you showed your tall figure while using the Staff of the Covenant to chop the Hruds with all your strength, and rushed towards the more threatening circular infantry fighting machine. ]

[In an instant, a dreadnought mecha that happened to be on the attack track of the time beam just wanted to move its huge metal body to evade. 】

【In order to protect the few ancient warriors and for the smooth progress of the entire battle, a fearless Death Watch Astarte suddenly launched a rescue charge and blocked the time beam right in front of it! 】

【As the time beam hit the Astarte thoroughly, the terrifying ‘entropy energy’ quickly caused time to flow backwards! 】

【In the blink of an eye, inside the power armor that was gradually disintegrating and restoring, a tragic cry that seemed to come from a human baby resounded throughout the air of the entire underground cave! 】

【“Woo-wah——”】
