Warhammer 40k: Collector of Terra

Chapter 69 Corax’s Support

If the Chaos Demon and the Betrayer swarmed forward, Ferrus and Constantine alone would not be able to match them.

To make matters worse, the Chaos Demons seemed to have no patience to continue the stalemate.

Looking at the seriously injured Imperial Regent who fell to the ground, a [Great Unclean One] covered in abscesses and herpes was already eager to try.

"Such a noble and pure soul deserves the generous blessings of a loving father! You will experience the ultimate mystery of life in the garden of a loving father."

The Great Unclean One raised the "Rod of Corruption" in his hand, trying to inject the bacteria and viruses containing the "Power of Nurgle" into the body and soul of the Imperial Regent.

This is a naked provocation, but also a malicious temptation.

"How blasphemous!" Ferus roared and raised the war hammer in his hand, and the [Disintegration Field] that filled the war hammer instantly turned the Nurgle virus into nothingness.

The undisguised malice of the Chaos Demons is spreading!A brutal battle seemed inevitable.

Constantine and Ferus clenched the weapons in their hands, ready to fight with their lives against these ugly chaos demons at any time.

The air is filled with suffocating solemnity!
But just before the Chaos Demons were about to launch their attack, countless "blood-eyed crows" composed of "shadow" and "darkness" appeared on the battlefield.

The unknown [Crows] grabbed a head exuding blood and accurately threw it towards the center of the battlefield.

Everyone can clearly see the tragic state of this head.

Tens of thousands of peck marks are spread across every corner of the skull!
Even though the face of the head has long been blurred with blood and flesh, the despair and pain he experienced before death are still clearly visible.

This is the "Skull of Betrayal" belonging to the original body of the [Word Bearers] Lorgar!
"Oh, Lorgar!" Ferus' resolute face was full of disdain, "You deserve to end up like this!"

Tens of thousands of [crows] slowly gather together!When the darkness and shadows completely dissipated, a pale-faced black-armored giant was fully revealed in the sight of the Chaos Demons.

This is Corax, the Primarch of the [Raven Guard] who disappeared thousands of years ago!
The name "Corax" represents a fear in the Sea of ​​Souls.

During the long thousands of years, countless chaos demons and traitors were hunted by the wandering Crows!

As long as Corax targets him, even the great demons favored by the Chaos Gods will inevitably fall.

The Crow King, who has independently awakened the [subspace essence], has become an extremely terrifying existence!In a sense, in the entire Sea of ​​Souls, only the Four Gods of Chaos can pose a fatal threat to it.

From the moment Corax joined the battlefield, the Chaos Demons had lost the opportunity to hunt down the [Imperial Regent].

But even so, the Chaos Demons still charged towards the [Crow King] without fear of death.

The plan to kill the [Imperial Regent] has failed!The only thing the Chaos Demons can do now is to delay the progress of Corax and others as much as possible.

As long as [Ultramarine] Primarch Robert Guilliman fails to successfully revive, then all the prices [Chaos] pays for this war will be worth it!
……

At the same moment, the defense line of [Hera Fortress] hundreds of kilometers away from here.

In the past few hours, countless chaos demons and betrayers have gathered in front of this magnificent fortress.

Even though the Sons of Guilliman had deployed their defenses in advance, in the face of the tide of enemies of the Empire... the situation faced by the loyalists was still precarious.

In just a few minutes, the defense lines deployed on the outside of [Hera Fortress] fell one after another.Demons born from twisted emotions lurk in every shadow on the battlefield. Facing the strange subspace entities, even the well-trained [Macragge Defense Force] has no power to resist.

Every second, thousands of loyal warriors return to the Golden Throne.

Such a horrific sacrifice has far exceeded the limit that the Hera Fortress defense line can bear.

In order to prevent the defensive troops from being defeated one by one, [Chapter Commander] Calgar decisively ordered the shrinking of the defense line.

The perimeter defenses that took months to build were quickly abandoned.

Eight full [Sacred Code Regiment], including [Ultimate Warriors], were deployed to the square in front of [Hera Fortress].

The sons of Guilliman were ordered to protect the resurrecting Genefather in the fortress at all costs.

Three "Valkyrie Formations" belonging to the [Macragge Defense Force] have taken off!
Compared with the intelligent [Devil Engine], the [Valkyrie Gunship] equipped by the defense force is simply not worth mentioning.

As early as the moment it took off, the pilots of the Valkyrie gunboat were already prepared to sacrifice.

Even though death is inevitable!But before death comes, the loyal warriors will make the enemies of the Empire pay a heavy price.

[Ultimate Warrior] The door to the holy relic treasure house is completely open.

Holy relics such as [Leman Russ Tank] and [Poison Blade] super heavy tanks are also put into the battlefield after a simple awakening ceremony.

Even today, thousands of years later, the carefully maintained sacred relic vehicle still exudes a suffocating and cold aura.

The loyal warriors are ready for everything.

All enemies of the Empire who dare to set foot on the Fortress of Hera will be mercilessly destroyed by the Sons of Guilliman.

"For the great [Lord of Ultramar]!" The mortal warriors chanted the oath they had recited countless times.

After retreating several times in succession, the well-equipped [Macragge Defense Force] fired the first shot of this war.

The [Heavy Artillery Array] placed on the innermost side of the defense line began to roar, and the brass cannonballs branded with the "Double-Headed Eagle" emblem contained the emperor's anger and rained down divine punishment on the enemies of the empire.

Deafening artillery fire echoed across the land of Macragge.

Every roar means hundreds of Chaos Demons being torn to pieces by artillery fire!Demonic blood filled with the power of chaos seeped into the depths of the earth, subtly eroding the empire's sacred territory.

Intense artillery bombardment tore the bodies of most demons into pieces, but a few fish that slipped through the net successfully broke into the defense line.

To mortals, even the weakest Chaos Daemons are extremely terrifying monsters.

But for the glory of [Macragge] and [Lord of Ultramar], the loyal mortal warriors still raised their chainswords and roared in anger at the twisted demon.

The fragile lives of the mortal warriors disappeared like fireworks. Thanks to their heroic sacrifices, the Chaos Demons were never able to break through the outermost defense line.
