Warhammer: I don't want to become a stinky can!

Page 141

Mortarian remained silent for a moment, dissatisfied. Why should the Iron Warriors fight alongside the Death Guards?

What is Hades questioning?

But the Primarch instantly understood Hades' meaning.

Iron Warriors may not come to support Deathguards, but Iron Warriors will definitely come to support Iron Warriors.

(Except for Peturabo, of course.)

This part of the Iron Warriors is meant to make the Iron Warriors on the periphery fight desperately.

Mortarian blinked slowly.

Although the Emperor had told him that the cooperation between the Legions was unbreakable, and although the Emperor had told him that the honor and discipline within the Legions were timeless topics.

In the emperor's words, his brothers and their offspring were practically like the demigods of heaven described by historians.

But now, Mortarian stared at Peturabo and realized that all of this was bullshit.

Therefore, it seems necessary to have a group of Iron Warriors.

The good news is that, since Perturabo "admitted" to Motalian's previous plan, Motalian is currently in a good enough mood to talk to Perturabo a few more times.

"brother,"

After closing the channel with Hades, Mortarian spat out the word as if spitting out phlegm, speaking unclearly and reluctantly.

"I think the Death Guard might need some Iron Warriors to guide us in this area, to help us familiarize ourselves with it."

Peturabo almost let a look of doubt appear on his solemn and icy face, but he managed to control himself well.

Peturabo turned his head and stared at Mortarian.

He was still trying to glean something from this "brother" who was trying to mock him.

However, the yellowish-green poison gas covering Mortarion completely obscured his exposed face, making it impossible to discern his expression even from the Primarch's perspective.

As Peturab focused his attention on Mortarian, Mortarian's familiar poisonous odor became even more pronounced in his senses.

Perturabo suddenly realized that Motarrian was doing it on purpose; he was deliberately using poison gas to disgust his brothers. This damned country bumpkin liked to fumigate these normal people with his stinky smell and took pleasure in their reactions.

Such a person is unlikely to say anything kind.

Perhaps a brother like Vulcan or Horus could utter such kind words, but this is certainly not something Mortarion would say.

Does Mortarion want to see steel warriors inferior to the Deathguard on the same battlefield?

Does this desolate "brother" want to use the video recording of the scene to publicly mock him?

Did Mortarian think he would cowardly refuse to send troops, thus proving his weakness?

Peturabo's voice was tinged with anger, and he simply turned away again, refusing to look at Mortalian's repulsive figure.

"Dantiok, step forward!"

"You will be in charge of the ground landing operation against the Death Guard."

"You must show the toughness of an iron warrior."

Under the cover of poison gas, Mortarian glanced triumphantly at the top of Perturabo's head (he was the tallest there).

He knew, of course, that Peturabo would interpret his words as a provocation; that guy wasn't that kind.

Perhaps next time he should just drop the "brother" greeting, which makes him want to vomit.

Then Mortarian opened Hades' channel and said smugly,

"All right."

Now Mortalian believes he can go and safely kill those aliens.

Today's update, 7.8k

Did you see that death shroud in Chapter 159?

The roaring drop pods tore through the dry air of the vast mining planet, flames engulfed steel, gleam flashed across the scythe blades, and death descended upon them.

In the cramped, violently shaking space, Hades sat silently in his seat, the obituary lying quietly in his hand.

He will be among the first Death Guards to land, following the main airborne force of the Iron Warriors to the rear of Unit 03.

Due to the animosity between Mortarion and Perturabo, Perturabo firmly decided to use the Iron Warriors as the first wave of ground landing forces.

The Lord of Steel believed that the Pale King was provoking him, so he sent his elite steel minions as the vanguard.

Mortarian, on the other hand, did not receive any information from Perturabo; he simply chose the drop pod from which he could arrive the fastest.

Due to the advice of other Death Guards, Mortarion abandoned his plan to be among the first Death Guards to land. Instead, he decided to wait until the Death Guards had landed a wave and had a good grasp of the local terrain before making his own landing.

Hades remembered that several Death Guards approached him, hoping he would persuade Mortalian not to rush too fast.

The scene of the Primarchs abandoning their troops and charging directly into the enemy during the Battle of Galaspa was still too impactful for the Death Guard.

For the Legion, the Primarch's symbolic significance was greater than his individual combat capabilities, so Mortarion was decisively persuaded to back down.

Following the Iron Warriors' airdrop, the first wave of Death Guardians was naturally led by Hades.

"BANG!"

After a brief, violent shaking, the air hissed into the cabin, blinding sunlight and sandstorms tore in, blades were drawn, and bullets were chambered.

Hades strode out of the drop pod and commanded the first wave of Death Guards to join the battle via the channel.

[Death Guard Team 1 has reached the objective point.]

A hissing sound came from the public communication channel as Hades addressed Danteok, the commander of the Iron Warriors.

Realizing that the first batch of reinforcements had arrived, Danteok breathed a sigh of relief. As one of the first personnel to land and establish a landing point, he was under considerable pressure.

Peturabo only gave him enough men to occupy the landing point.

With the Death Guards, who outnumbered the Iron Warriors, joining the battle, the pressure on the Iron Warriors was immediately relieved.

Flames spewed from the muzzle of the Death Guard's gun.

Danteok was somewhat surprised to realize that, unlike his brothers who would shout battle cries, these white and green warriors silently joined the battle line, standing shoulder to shoulder in the makeshift trenches erected by the Iron Warriors. Apart from the gunfire and the dull thud of footsteps, the Death Guard made no sound.

The occasional static from the channel reminded the Iron Warriors that these Death Guards had opened a public communication channel.

But there was no sound.

Short communications are only transmitted within the Death Guard when necessary, serving as a reminder to the Iron Warriors.

But Hades, the commander of the Death Guard, did not remain silent like most of the Death Guards. His clear High Gothic language rang out in the channel, reporting on the current situation of the Death Guards and intelligence about the enemy.

Well done, brothers.

Now we'll take over the battlefield.

Hades' voice rang out.

【it is good. 】

Danteok readily agreed.

Originally, the Death Guard was the main force for this landing operation, but due to Perturabo's insistence, the Iron Warriors were the first to land.

The performance of the Iron Warriors, led by Danteok, in capturing the drop zone after the first landing was enough to prove their strength.

There was no need for them to continue entangled. Compared to Peturabo, who didn't care about the number of casualties, Danteok wanted every drop of blood to be worthwhile.

Moreover, Danteok recalled the communication he received from a brother who had just returned from Mars when he was about to enter the drop pod. In that brief communication, his brother told him to be sure to befriend Hades, the Death Shroud on the other side, and that as long as they fought together, there was no need to worry about coordination issues, because Hades had a very good temper.

Danteok was surprised. Judging from the time this brother returned from Mars, this Death Guardian named Hades had climbed to the top ranks of the Death Guard in a very short time after returning from Mars?!

This kind of person would be considered an extremely skilled warrior no matter how you look at it, but outsiders describe him as having a good temper.

Recalling Hades' private communications with him and Hades' subsequent reports, Danteok became even more curious about the rather robust-looking shroud.

Hades also performed admirably, sharing the latest battlefield intelligence in a timely manner, directing the Death Guard to gradually take over from the Iron Warriors, and prioritizing a safe and stable tactical approach.

Currently, the experience of working with Hades ranks among the top three "cooperation opportunities" for Danteok.

Hades' command was devoid of personal emotion, devoid of unnecessary words, and extremely high in information density. The tactics he chose also aligned with Danteok's preferences.

In cooperation with other legions, some commanders talk a lot, which Danteok doesn't like.

What Danteok didn't know was that Hades would praise the Iron Warriors even more in his post-event report. If Danteok knew this now, he would definitely put Hades at the top of his list of "most desirable partners".

The Death Guard began a slow but steady advance, while the Iron Warriors, who had retreated from the front, began constructing trenches.

Their current landing point is behind a small hill at the rear of the Necromancer Forged Complex. The Iron Warriors were able to hold their ground here thanks to the terrain and the air support they received before landing.

The soldiers who land here need to storm between these tall black stone buildings, find and attempt to destroy the shield system on the other side, and then call in a second wave of precision fire support.

Before they entered the complex, Peturabo calculated that the Iron Warriors' air force could provide them with a barrage of fire, creating an opening for the Death Guards and Iron Warriors amidst the dense horde of undead infantry.

After this bombing, Mortarion will land with a second wave of Deathguards and lead them to capture the objective.

So far, the Iron Warriors' Stormbirds are still battling those scythe-shaped aircraft in the air, their metallic bodies occasionally peeking out from the swirling yellow sand.

After the Iron Warriors briefly gained air superiority and covered the landing of the airdrop pods, the lead in the sky quickly changed hands again.

Both sides are fiercely vying for air superiority, and the side that successfully maintains air superiority for half a standard hour can launch a large-scale bombardment of the ground.

Therefore, the Imperial forces on the ground needed trenches to avoid bombing. Danteok commanded some of the Iron Warriors to begin digging trenches, while others continued fighting.

The good news is that soon, the Iron Warriors will once again dominate the air.

Meanwhile, on another battlefield, the Iron Warriors and Grei's Guardians are fighting fiercely. They will hold back the main force and armored units of the Necromancers, while the vanguard will try to join forces with the airborne troops to open a route for the airborne troops to evacuate.

[Ready for close combat! Draw your sickle!]

Currently, the enemies that airborne troops are facing are mostly space necromancers, and the best solution to deal with space necromancers is melee combat.

Seeing that the number of attacking space undead was decreasing, Hades decisively ordered some of the Death Guards to step out of the trenches and engage the enemy in close combat under the cover of fire from the rest of the Death Guards.

Hades didn't waste any words. He charged forward with his scythe in hand. His body, which was originally taller than others, was now exceptionally agile. The precision-engineered backpack behind him spewed bullets and plasma beams, easily blocking attacks from afar for Hades.

With a long, steady breath, Hades spun his scythe, slicing and cutting. The metallic clanging produced a series of teeth-grinding sounds as the scythe touched the necromancer's body, sending sparks flying.

The Black Zone is useless against them.

Hades observed the space undead he had severed, but their mechanical bodies and stiff expressions told him that these creatures had no souls.

really.

Realizing this, Hades stopped wasting his energy on it and began to observe the battlefield while reaping the benefits of the enemy's advance.

However, the instant Hades made contact with the cosmic necromancer—

Deep within the tomb, Gatheros, who was talking to himself, suddenly looked up.

"As I said, in the end, of course, I will be the one to defeat him."

"Nus, you're wrong."

But Nas could no longer hear the King's words; the space necromancers he led were now slowly drifting in space.

The faint information from the Star God fragments was lost.

Nas looked at the detector and thought to himself.

And the last location where this information was stored was—

The Fourth Knight, protected by a contingent of Iron Warriors and Deathguard ships, was preparing for its second airdrop.

More updates to come later.

Chapter 160 Shouldn't we discuss this before giving orders?!

Above the sky, the ships of the Necromancers suddenly appeared in an unexpected location, without any warning. This strange fleet charged straight toward the fleets of the Iron Warriors and the Death Guards.

Compared to the fleet that the Steel Warriors had previously encountered, this fleet was significantly larger, with an even larger mothership prominently displayed among countless Jackal-class raiders.

What's puzzling is that this mothership seems to be a complete copy of those small raiding ships, but anyone with even a little knowledge of ship design would see that this ship could have been much more "ornate".

Yes, in order to prevent these human ships from escaping directly, the space necromancers deliberately chose this method of "disguise".
