889, Ode to Plague: Murder of Rainfather (II)
Deep in the cold void.
One after another, huge metal ships drove the subspace engines to form a battle formation.
Afterwards, a large number of sword-class frigates also formed a denser defensive formation around the huge weapon fortress called the Hero Tower.
The next second, as the Dark Regent Rorschach issued an order to the entire fleet.
A subspace entrance slowly tore open in front of the fleet, allowing this huge fleet on the expedition to the Scourge Stars to embark on a journey of destruction.
Boom--
Soon after, a large number of space ships that successfully completed the subspace jump continued to break through the pursuit and interception of batches of small Chaos fleets, and gradually penetrated deeper into the Scourge Stars.
After confirming that the opportunity to launch an attack was right.
As the lord of the legion, Rorschach did not hesitate to issue an extermination order to the first Chaos planet encountered by the huge fleet.
In an instant, a series of extremely powerful and dazzling light spears were fired from the weapon arrays of many ships.
Just a moment later, the offensive firepower far exceeding that of an ordinary fleet completely sank the near-Earth orbital platform and several Chaos ships that attempted to launch a counterattack in the depths of the cold void.
Then there was a blanket bombardment of the Chaos planet by countless light spears.
And until no signs of life could be detected on the surface.
The Hero Tower, which was built on an extremely large scale, immediately began to transform extremely slowly.
A planet-destroying cannon that was as big as a Cobra-class destroyer was aimed at the direction of the Chaos planet!
Boom boom boom——
The next moment, a dazzling light and terrifying energy like a star explosion suddenly burst out from the inside of the planet-destroying cannon.
And the Chaos planet that was almost within reach only lasted for a few seconds.
Countless huge cracks that could be clearly observed from the cold void quickly split across the entire planet's surface, and then a large amount of hot magma from the core of the planet continued to gushed out!
And when the entire destruction fleet gradually left the nearby void range.
The remains of a huge planet that had been torn into pieces quietly stayed deep in the crust fragments one after another!
In fact, if there were Inquisitors from the Inquisition or high-ranking officials of the Terra Council inside the Destruction Fleet.
They would certainly try every means to stop the Dark Regent from such a crazy extermination.
Because any habitable planet in the human empire is extremely precious.
Even a world corrupted by Chaos needs to be repeatedly confirmed to be completely worthless before the extermination order is issued.
But now Regent Guilliman is in the Indomitable Crusade.
The Terra Council and even the Inquisition know nothing about this because the communication of the Dark Side of the Empire is almost lost.
So Rorschach, as the Dark Regent, is the only master here.
Even if he plays a lot in the Ultramar Sector, no one can control him.
However, Rorschach had to use the Extermination Order as an offensive means.
If the expedition fleet, which has already divided most of its combat power to Calgar, wants to achieve more victories.
Then they need to pay very heavy casualties as the final price.
This is what Rorschach, as the lord of the legion, does not want to see anyway.
He simply chose to let dozens of Chaos planets in the Scourge Stars become the replacement losses of this Scourge Expedition.
Of course, Rorschach did not forget the ultimate goal of his expedition to the Scourge Stars.
That is to temporarily seal the Nurgle Great Demon, the Rainfather Rotigus.
If the sealing ritual unfortunately fails, then the other party will be temporarily exiled back to the depths of the warp.
For this Nurgle Great Demon, the second favorite of the evil god Nurgle, Rorschach did not expect to completely kill it.
As long as the Rainfather Rotigus does not come out to make trouble in the short term, then thank God for the Emperor's blessing.
————————————
Because Rorschach led this destruction expedition fleet to implement an unreasonable extermination order strategy.
So the interior of the first galaxy in the Scourge Stars was quickly cleaned up by them.
About eighteen Chaos planets that had been occupied by Nurgle demons for a long time became countless cosmic dust.
And Rorschach's fleet only lost a few frigates in several encounters, and thousands of Astartes were unscathed.
However, when the Destruction Expedition Fleet entered the second star system of the Scourge Stars.
The Death Guard Corps, which had fully reacted, mobilized more Chaos fleets from outside.
The sudden increase in combat pressure also caused the Astartes from the major war groups to quickly launch boarding battles.
They used this to cover the fleet and the Weapon Fortress Hero Tower's extermination orders against Chaos planets.
Even if Rorschach, who could repeatedly summon the Tianlin beast every once in a while, could gain an overwhelming advantage in one void naval battle after another.
However, the increasing number of Chaos ships of the Death Guard Corps still caused the Destruction Expedition Fleet to suffer considerable losses.
Especially when the expedition fleet was planning to destroy the last Chaos planet in the second star system.
The appearance of seven Nurgle demons also forced Rorschach to join the boarding battle.
And in this fierce battle, five super Astartes made their debut.
The terrifying combat power of the giant Raven Guards also left a very deep impression on Rorschach.
Boom boom boom——
At this moment, a giant Raven Guard with a body of about three and a half meters tall suddenly removed a cyclone missile launcher installed on a power backpack.
The opponent's huge fists slammed against each other in the chest.
The huge body covered with specialized power armor suddenly produced some clearly visible vibrations.
Then, the extremely thick vibranium armor shells suddenly changed drastically in their overall shape.
The giant Raven Guard, who had already unfolded the giant transformation form, was infinitely close to four meters in size.
At first glance, it was almost not much shorter than the Primarch Rorschach who was fighting back and forth with two Nurgle demons!
The giant Raven Guard quickly turned his metal helmet, and he had completely adapted to the power and speed that had just surged.
Then the opponent immediately launched an amazing battle charge with another giant Raven Guard beside him towards a Nurgle demon who was trying to sneak attack the Primarch!
Boom!
In an instant, the two giant Raven Guards who had completed their transformation forms could actually drag a larger Nurgle demon firmly in place.
Even as time passed quickly, the Giant Raven Guards, who were immune to most physical attacks with their Vibranium armor and giant physique, gradually gained the upper hand!
Bang bang bang——
At this moment, Rorschach killed two Nurgle demons with the Blood Scythe, and his entire huge body fell heavily on the metal floor.
His cold eyes swept back and forth over the Giant Raven Guards who were fighting two against one, and he couldn't help but let out a fleeting low laugh!
Thank you all for your support!
