629, Crow and Shadow: Damocles Bay (IV)!
At night, on the surface of a deserted mineral planet.
From time to time, there will be a dust storm mixed with a lot of electromagnetic interference.
And in the midst of this terrifying sandstorm, black-painted Thunderhawk transport planes slowly stagnated ten meters high in mid-air.
Buzz buzz——
The next second, thick hatches quickly opened at the rear of the cabin.
The Raven Guards, who moved extremely quickly, were like black shadows enveloping the oncoming rough sand, and fell quietly towards the surface.
Immediately afterwards, a tall figure with a Blood Scythe in his palm suddenly opened the pair of huge vibrating gold wings behind the Seiko power armor, and quickly spread its wings and glided towards the surface below!
winter!
A pair of pale golden vibranium magnetic boots were inserted into the depths of the fluffy sand, splashing a lot of sand that was blown away by the wind.
Rorschach, who was wearing a skull helmet, only glanced at the extremely harsh battlefield environment around him through the eyepiece.
The voice from the fifth company of the Raven Guard, Shadow Captain Kailin Sorak, reached his ears intermittently through the communication channel.
"Lord Primarch, the latest information is that just a few minutes ago, a large number of landing troops from the Tau Empire fleet forcibly broke through the dense firepower network deployed by our fleet. After they lost almost one-third of their ships, they successfully attacked A landing operation was launched on the planet’s surface.”
"However, the nearest landing force is also thousands of kilometers away and will have little impact on our decapitation operation in a short period of time."
"Judging from the intelligence information currently available, it seems that the safety of the Ether class is probably more important to the commanders of the Tau Empire than the victory or defeat of this battle."
Rorschach, who heard the other party's words, did not reply immediately.
He slightly raised a golden-shined vibranium arm.
Ten metal rings filled with purple energy continued to surround the front, back, left and right of the Seiko power armor.
"That's because the Ether clan is the original body and even the emperor of the Tau clan to a certain extent. This is of course more important to an alien race than the ordinary commanding class. You can understand it if you think about it for a moment... Solak "Have you found the landing location of the ether?"
Rorschach, with a deep voice, shook his skull helmet slightly.
The pair of goggles with a faint scarlet luster looked through the fine sand and dust in the air at Shadow Company Commander Sorak who was standing not far away.
And faced with the original body's answers and questions.
Shadow Captain Sorak first nodded at the metal helmet, then shook his head and said:
"Due to the interference factors of the local geographical environment, even the detection range and detection capabilities of the airborne auspicious device on the Thunderhawk transport aircraft have been greatly compressed. What I can confirm at present is that the landing point of Ether's escape capsule The straight-line distance from us will not exceed twenty kilometers, and the error range is within two to three kilometers. "
"But the strange thing is that just on the screen of my helmet, the number of etheric escape cabin signals that can be successfully captured is as many as dozens. I am currently unable to determine whether this is a malfunction caused by interference with the auspicious device. Or is it a decoy target deliberately spread by the enemy to protect the ether."
Sorak finished speaking.
"Haha, do you want to play with us about real and fake ether? Is Titanium naive?"
Rorschach seemed to utter a low sneer from inside the skull helmet and raised a vibranium palm without hesitation.
He immediately issued an order to all the surrounding Raven Guards:
"Let the Thunderhawk transport aircraft formation conduct reconnaissance from the air and determine the location of the suspected target in advance!"
"All the Crow Guards of the fifth company immediately followed me to attack from the ground! Everyone, let me run! We must rush to take off the head of the ether before more enemy reinforcements arrive!"
At this moment, Rorschach's words have not yet completely finished.
A vibranium magnetic boot under his feet suddenly moved towards the front where the sandstorm was raging.
And on top of the tall body that kept shaking with the heavy steps.
Wisps of shadow power emanating from the body quickly spread to every part of Luo Xia's body, completely wrapping him up!
After Rorschach, who was struggling to move forward, subconsciously used the Shadow Step inherited from Crow King Corax.
There were dozens of Raven Guards around who had just taken action.
Unexpectedly, they followed the original body's forward movements and violently launched the stealth skill Shadow Step!
In an instant, every Astartes, including the Primarch Rorschach, was completely transformed into black and invisible shadows.
They quickly passed through the incessant sandstorms and galloped forward!
At this moment, it seemed as if the Raven Guards continued to accept Rorschach's existence.
Their own control over the power of shadow has also slowly increased a lot.
Or maybe it's because of the existence of Rorschach, the original body.
It completely inspired the bloodline inheritance buried in the gene seeds of the Crow Guards.
It also makes their memories seem to return to the era of the Great Crusade, when they followed the Crow King Corax to fight in the north and south, and liberated countless people of the empire!
--------------------------
Boom boom boom——
Between the dust everywhere.
Explosive bombs that continuously emitted roars and fires penetrated the individual armors of the Aurora Pathfinders.
It also completely shattered the thin and fragile bodies of the Tau people.
Bang Bang Bang!
On the battlefield, the steps of each movement were like ghosts and ghosts.
And the Raven Guards who repeatedly sneaked back and forth in the shadows on the ground launched continuous surprise attacks and assassinations.
More Tau scout teams were being systematically annihilated by the Astartes led by Rorschach himself!
At the same time, Rorschach, who almost danced the blood sickle in his palm into a series of green light wheels, also suddenly drove the propulsion device behind the precision power armor.
He forcibly resisted a large number of oncoming pulse beams or spiral solid bullets fired by the rail rifle, and quickly launched a rapid advance towards an ether escape pod!
Buzz buzz buzz!
The next second, Rorschach, whose vibranium shell absorbed a lot of kinetic energy, suddenly braked the magnetic boots under his feet.
He slightly straightened the broad back inside the power armor.
The whole person stood openly in the center of the battlefield surrounded by countless Aurora Pathfinders.
Then he released an amazing kinetic energy impact to the surroundings without hesitation!
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, the Fire Clan warriors who were completely covered in the kinetic energy impact range were like yellow leaves thrown into a drum washing machine, tumbling rapidly in the air more than ten meters high, and then fell heavily to the ground covered with the blood and body parts of the Titanium Clan!
