Chapter 998 Hey, Hey! The Angel is Coming!

"What is that?!" the adjutant stepped back in horror, his voice filled with fear.

Before Sha'Oka could reply, the hatch of the airdrop chamber burst open, and hot steam gushed out from inside.

Amidst the steam, a tall figure slowly walked out - it was a Blood Angel Space Marine, his scarlet armor engraved with sacred runes, and the winged emblem on his shoulder armor gleaming in the firelight.

In his hand he held a chainsaw sword, the teeth of which spun wildly, making a terrifying buzzing sound.

"For Sanguinius! For the Emperor!" The Space Marine's voice was deep and majestic, as if it came from the depths of hell.

Sha'Oka's heart almost stopped, and his anger was instantly replaced by fear.

He subconsciously drew the plasma pistol from his waist, but his hands were shaking and he could hardly aim the muzzle at the target.

The Space Marine didn't give him any chance.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and the chainsaw sword drew an arc in the air. The adjutant didn't even have time to scream before he was cut in half, and blood and internal organs were spilled all over the ground.

Sha'Oka pulled the trigger, and the plasma energy shell hit the Space Marine's breastplate, but only left a charred mark on the armor.

"Foolish xenos," the Space Marine said coldly, his voice full of disdain. "Your technology is meaningless in the face of the Emperor's wrath."

Sha'Oka tried to step back, but his feet got caught on debris and he fell heavily to the ground.

He struggled to get up, but the Space Marine was already in front of him. The buzzing of the chainsword was getting closer and closer, and Sha'Oka felt a cold breath of death enveloping him.

"You...you barbaric monsters..."

Sha'Oka's voice trembled, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness. "You will never understand the greatness of the Greater Good..."

"Aliens should be exterminated..."

"Repent before the Golden Throne!"

The Space Marine sneered and raised his chainsword high.

Sha'Oka's last words were drowned out by the roar of the chainsword.

His body was torn apart in an instant, and blood splattered all over the walls of the command room.

The Space Marine sheathed his chainsword and turned toward his next target.

At this moment, the Tau chain of command on this planet has been completely destroyed.

Outside the command room, more airdrop pods fell from the sky, and the Blood Angels warriors descended like the gods of death.

The Tau's defences collapsed under their onslaught, chains of command being severed one by one.

This planet is destined to become another place of victory for the Blood Angels.

Meanwhile, on the ground, another T'au fortress crumbled under the onslaught of the Blood Angels Legion.

The outer wall of the fortress had been torn open with several huge cracks by bolter cannons and melta weapons, and the scarlet Space Marines poured in like a tide. Their chainsaw swords and power swords drew deadly arcs in the air. Every swing was accompanied by the screams of the Tau soldiers and splattering of blood.

Inside the fortress, the Tau commanders attempted to mount a last-ditch resistance, but their efforts pale in comparison to the relentless onslaught of the Blood Angels.

An XV104 Battlesuit attempted to halt the Space Marine advance, its ion cannons and missile launchers laying down frantic fire, but the Blood Angels' Terminators showed no fear.

Their power fists and thunder hammers demonstrate devastating power in close combat, and the armor of the Thor battle suit is as fragile as paper under their attacks.

With a loud bang, the core of the combat suit was shattered, and the huge body fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"For Sanguinius! For the Emperor!"

The Blood Angels warriors shouted, their voices echoing through the corridors of the fortress.

The soldiers of the Tau Empire fell one after another, their resistance seemed so insignificant in front of the Space Marines.

The fortress's control centre was quickly captured, the Tau banner torn down and replaced with the scarlet banner of the Blood Angels.

At the same time, the battle in the planet's orbit was equally fierce.

The T'au fleet attempted to provide support to the ground forces, but they soon found themselves surrounded by the Blood Angels fleet.

The Blood Angels' battleships and cruisers formed battle formations in the void, their macrocannons and arrays of lances flashing deadly light.

"Fire!"

At a command from the commander of the Blood Angels fleet, countless macrocannon shells whizzed out, cutting through the void and heading straight for the warships of the Tau Empire.

The Tau Empire's frigates were instantly shattered by the bombardment of macro-cannons, their energy shields being useless in the face of such powerful firepower.

A Tau cruiser tried to dodge but its engines were hit by the lances and the hull shook violently from the explosion.

The warships of the Tau Empire tried to adjust their formation in the void to deal with the fierce attack of the Blood Angels fleet.

However, the Blood Angels' fleet commander had anticipated their actions.

A huge Oberon-class battleship was slowly adjusting its course, its ramming horn like a giant sword, pointing directly at a cruiser of the Tau Empire.

"Full speed ahead! Prepare for impact!"

The captain of the Scarlet Fury stood on the command platform, his voice cold and firm.

The battleship's engines spewed out blazing plasma flames, and its speed quickly increased as it rushed straight towards the Tau Empire's cruiser.

The Tau cruiser attempted to evade, but it underestimated the speed of the Imperial Navy's advance.

The captain of the Tau Empire warship anxiously ordered: "Launch all close-in defense guns! Intercept it! We can't let it get close!"

However, the battleship's armor was so thick that the firepower of the close-in defense guns was like a mosquito bite in front of it and could not stop its advance at all.

"Impact countdown, 5, 4, 3..."

On the bridge of the Scarlet Fury, the voice of the Mechanical Priest was cold and mechanical.

The battleship's ram flashed coldly in the void, like the scythe of the god of death.

"2, 1... impact!"

With a deafening bang, the Crimson Fury's ram pierced the side of the Tau Empire cruiser.

The Tau Empire's warship shook violently at the moment of impact, its armor was torn apart, and its internal cabins collapsed under the huge impact force.

Sparks and debris flew everywhere, and the ship's structure made a teeth-grinding sound of metallic twisting.

"Report damage!"

The Tau captain tried to steady himself, but his voice was drowned out by the sirens.

The cruiser's energy shield collapsed at the moment of impact, and a deadly vacuum poured into the crack in the hull.

The crew members were thrown into the air and then sucked into the void, and their screams echoed in the communication channel.

The Scarlet Fury's ramming horn dug deep into the hull of the Tau Empire cruiser, and the two warships locked together in mid-air.

The captain of the Scarlet Fury looked coldly at the image in the holographic projection and issued the next order: "Boarding troops, prepare to attack! Destroy their command center!"

"Get ready to join the gang!"

Blood Angels assault craft and Thunderhawk gunships blasted out from the mothership, their engines belching blazing flames, heading straight for the Tau warships.

The T'au captains attempted to engage the assault craft with close-in defense and ion cannon fire, but the Blood Angels pilots were able to evade most of the fire with great skill.

With one loud bang after another, the heat of the assault boat melted through the armor of the Tau Empire warship, and the hatch of the assault boat opened in an instant.
