634, Crow and Shadow: Damocles Bay (Part 9)
Facing a high-intensity large-scale war.
Even the superhuman Astartes are just a small dot on a virtual terrain map, or a cold number in a series of death lists.
They are no different than every mortal warrior tasked with filling the battle lines.
Therefore, it is actually common for even important figures at the level of Chapter Master to die in battle.
But now, Rorschach, who had always been calm, took a few deep breaths repeatedly.
He couldn't help but roared in a low voice like the eve of a volcanic eruption to the commander of the third company, Kevan Stryker, who had just sent the death message.
Slowly driving his power armor and stepping forward, he stared at the other person and asked loudly.
Why was the Chapter Master of the Raven Guard beheaded by an enemy commander.
What is their intelligence network doing?
What are the Terminator Guards who belong to the Chapter Master himself doing?
At this moment, the third company commander, whose face was full of anger and grief, suppressed the emotional fluctuations deep in his heart.
He explained everything to the angry primarch in detail.
It turned out that with the input of large amounts of combat power by both the enemy and ourselves, the situation on some battlefields that lacked Astartes support continued to deteriorate.
And in order to show a real record in front of the original body.
Chapter Master Severax also personally led half a company of Raven Guard veterans to join the battle.
However, when he happened to be on a battlefield, he accidentally discovered a white figure wearing an xv22 stealth command combat uniform.
Chapter Master Severax immediately determined that it must be the commander of the Tau Empire, Shadow Sun!
Afterwards, he quickly led the Raven Guard to launch continuous raids and interceptions towards the opponent.
Even after several failures, he ignored the dissuasion of the Terminator's guards.
Just to behead Yingyang, he chose to go deep into the enemy-controlled position alone.
Unfortunately, just when Chapter Master Severax successfully beheaded ‘Shadow Sun’.
Another tall figure wearing an xv95 ghost battle suit suddenly appeared from the invisible state.
And he used a heavy and deadly long-range weapon to sneak attack the chapter leader whose reaction speed had slowed down, and completely tore the opponent's entire body and power armor into two halves!
————————————
After listening to the story of the third company commander, Luo Xia quickly calmed down his emotions.
Commander Shadowyang did arrive on this mineral planet as expected.
Indeed, he launched a beheading revenge against the Human Empire.
However, the target chosen in the end was not the original body that everyone thought, but a more important person of a lower level.
In fact, Rorschach and others have not speculated on similar situations.
But even Rorschach himself always believed that with the level of hatred he had in beheading Ether Anvar and Oshalas.
No matter how he calculated, Yingyang would only target him for beheading.
But the current situation shows that.
The other party had no intention of meeting him from the beginning.
Instead, they chose to weaken the battlefield morale of the human empire as much as possible, thereby gradually expanding the results of the entire battlefield!
Maybe in Yingyang's opinion.
Narrow hatred is far less important than winning a battle for the race.
And even the death of Ether Anvar is a measurable cost of war!
Thinking of this, Luo Xia, who couldn't help but frown, suddenly relaxed his entire brow.
He turned his head slightly, stared at the tense expression of the third company commander Stryker and said:
"From now on, immediately order the Kadijian armored troops to retreat and evacuate the mineral planet as soon as possible!"
"At the same time, let the Raven Guard and the battle brothers of the White Scars launch a retaliatory raid, pretend to be in retreat mode, and cede the entire battlefield to the Tau Empire!"
"Lord Primarch, what are your plans..."
At this moment, Captain Stryker couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing the original order.
He stared at the original body in front of him and asked subconsciously.
"Since the Tau Empire wants this mineral planet so much, then just give it to them. However, do you think an unexploited mineral planet is important to the Human Empire?"
"Instead of playing hide-and-seek with Shadow Sun on the surface, and even wasting more lives of battle brothers."
"I'm going to show my cards right away and overturn the table, and I won't play with them anymore!"
Rorschach, whose expression gradually turned cold, drove the power armor, turned around and walked towards the rear.
At the same time, the cold orders from the original body were still clearly conveyed to the ears of the third company commander.
"Go and notify the mixed fleet above orbit to prepare Cyclone torpedoes."
"All the Tau troops on this planet and even Shadow Sun himself should be buried with Chapter Master Severax!"
----------------------------------
Soon after, the Qadi armored forces and all Astartes were evacuated.
The entire position on the mineral planet was successfully occupied by the aggressive Tau Empire troops.
The Raven Guard fleet is currently entangled with many Tau Empire fleets, and the White Scar fleet has secretly returned to the battlefield.
But after all the evacuated troops successfully entered the deck.
He quickly changed the direction of his attack and launched whirlwind torpedoes towards the mineral planet not far away!
Instantly, accompanied by a series of dazzling lights that were clearly visible on the void orbit.
The extremely terrifying explosion flames and continuous shock waves swept across the surface of the entire planet at a rapid speed!
In a short period of time, even the sandstorms that had never stopped were completely submerged by the endless terrifying high temperature.
The continental plates of the entire planet were constantly shaking, and then quickly cracked and collapsed.
Even the planetary fortresses that were strong enough to withstand the bombing of a large number of enemies were completely lifted up by a terrifying fiery red sky.
Soon after, the explosion shock that swept across the entire planet seemed to trigger a chain reaction.
A large number of minerals were also accidentally stimulated to become a source of power that pushed the planet's crust to completely disintegrate.
And as the broken crust gradually collapsed and floated into the void.
As the culprits of the destruction, the Dark Raven Guard and the White Scar Fleet.
Under the crazy siege of a large number of Tau Empire fleets, they quickly left the battlefield full of ships and planetary wreckage and headed towards the depths of the void!
------------------------------
The destruction of the mineral planet not only killed Commander Shadowsun and a large number of Tau Empire ground forces.
It also seemed to temporarily end the expansion war of the Tau Empire.
However, as the direct leader who issued the extermination order.
Now Rorschach has completely become a special target that the War Council of this star zone has been questioned and wants to investigate immediately.
Even in the entire star zone.
All the Inquisitors heard the news and quickly boarded the ship to the Damocles Gulf.
The Raven Guards, who had just lost a chapter leader, were naturally very dissatisfied with the attitude of the Inquisition and the War Council towards the Primarch.
If Rorschach had not slightly blocked it.
A fierce conflict between the Inquisition and the founding chapter was inevitable.
