Chapter 891: Resurrection of the Son of God (Part 2)
At this point, how could we not discern the plans of these chaotic enemies?
The demons are not stupid. They do not expect that a hundred space warriors who have managed to break through the orbital defense system and land on the ground will be able to assassinate the Son of God.
Those Chaos Wizards must be people who were selected and had special physiques.
It is to make use of the subspace rifts that explode after their death, so that a large number of demons can descend directly.
Theriot and other members of the Infinite Legion's think tank tried to close the warp rift.
If it's a regular, normal crack, they can do it.
But, this won’t work right now.
Behind the Warp rifts, there must be extremely powerful Chaos Wizards, or even individual Demons, who are forcibly holding up these rifts and preventing them from closing.
One after another, demons or Chaos Space Marines emerged from it, howling and screaming and attacking the surrounding humans.
"Defend the temple!" Captain Nero shouted as he fought on the front line, but in fact, he was already quite anxious.
The Infinite Warriors are currently facing a lot of war pressure. The main forces are basically on track, as well as several Chaos Demon Army landing points. The guards at the temple are indeed not very sufficient.
Although the temple is quite important, it is located in the core area of the Super Starfish Fortress Capital after all, and it should be a very safe place. You can't get in here unless you break through the outer fortress.
Gu Jing, Kaur, Maeve Niel and the others were able to get so close because of their status as "guests". And the reason they were caught was also mainly because of their status as "guests". Maeve Niel actually wanted to take action, but was stopped. Otherwise, if they really wanted to take action, the Eldar God Envoy, the Great Sage, and psychic masters like Gu Jing, all together, would be enough to quickly destroy the temple guards of the Infinite Warriors.
The lack of guarding force made it very difficult to fight against the demon army that suddenly appeared at the scene.
Nero immediately issued a dispatch order to mobilize more troops from all over the temple to support and protect the Father of Genes. In addition, he also brought the Infinite Warrior Guards and his own guards to seal off the rifts. It would be best if he could kill every enemy that came out of the rift.
But this idea was basically shattered when a Soul Grinder emerged from the rift.
This is a powerful demon engine with a huge size. It is very difficult to destroy it quickly.
The Soul Grinder that was not destroyed for the time being had hellfires constantly gushing out of its huge body. Regardless of how much damage it caused, it at least made it difficult for the Space Marines to get close, and sheltered a large number of demons that continued to pour out from the cracks under it.
Although it was eventually smashed by the iron fists of Nero, the number of demons emerging from the warp rifts was already very large. Nero himself was almost trapped in the tide of demons and Chaos warriors and could not get out. It was Mevnir's psychic power that helped him break through the many demons around him and allowed him to break out.
In this environment, facing the strong pressure of the demons, the infinite warriors had to take the "prisoners" and retreat step by step, all the way to the most central and important God's Heir Hall.
Here, looking back, you can even see the majestic figure of Robert, the Son of God, in the stasis field in the central hall.
It has come to this point, and the number of demons pouring out of the subspace rifts that cannot be suppressed at all has increased even more.
But here we can't even use orbital firepower to support the attack at will.
This is the holy land of the Infinite Legion! It is the resting place of the Son of God and the Father of Genes! The murals and reliefs on the walls and ceilings are all praising the great achievements of the Son of God during the founding of the Empire and the Imperial Civil War. How can we use heavy firepower to destroy it at will?
Damaging the building would be fine, but injuring the Father of Genes or even destroying the stasis field would be a death sentence.
Under such circumstances, when the "prisoners" strongly demanded the return of their weapons and participation in the battle, Nero had to agree even though he was extremely reluctant.
In fact, not allowing the "prisoners" to participate in the war is purely an attempt to cover up one's own mistakes.
Unarmed Black Crusaders, Inquisitors, Living Saints and the like were not good at participating in the battle; but people like Gu Jing and the Eldar, who had the power of psychic energy, did not need weapons. They were also handcuffed with black stone bracelets, which theoretically suppressed psychics, equivalent to "disarming" psychic energy. But in reality, this thing was not very useful for some A-level psychics; some of them were particularly effective and could suppress S-level psychics, but they were definitely useless for Alpha-level psychics.
Otherwise, if the Alpha class can be controlled with a bracelet, how can it be a huge disaster that affects the entire planet as soon as it appears?
To control and contain psychics of this level, a complete Blackstone Prison would be needed. During their transportation, at least these anti-psychic materials would be used to build special prison vehicles for transportation.
Even ordinary uncontrollable Alpha-level psychics are like this, let alone controllable ones.
Gu Jing is controllable; Maeve Nir is not using psychic power in the strict sense, but she can also be regarded as one.
The psychic suppression effect brought by the black stone bracelets in their hands is actually the same as not having it, and they can break through it at will.
Not breaking through before was just to give the Infinite Warriors a little face.
In an emergency, use it when necessary, like when saving Nero.
In fact, Maeve Niel might have intended to watch Nero die.
After all, it was this Infinite Chapter Leader who had been opposing them from saving the Son of God. If he died, would it be...
That's definitely not the case.
It was Gu Jing who asked her to help.
Nero cannot die.
If he died, his successor would not easily agree to let the aliens save the Father of Genes.
It was not difficult for Theriault to see that if they could save him but did not, they would most likely push the think tank director, who had originally stood on his side, to the other side.
What's more, the value of the Son of God is certainly higher than that of a Chapter Master, but when it comes to Nero's level, he must be considered a top master among the God-chosen champions and is not a price that can be sacrificed or lost at will.
Even if we take a step back, the probability of Nero being killed is very low. It is difficult to kill a master of the God-chosen champion level by relying on a large number of people without the appearance of demons and Chaos traitors of the same level, and it will take a long time. Even if Maeve Niel does not help, Theriot will not sit idly by and watch the head of the chapter die, and will definitely save him when he has time.
It would be better to take advantage of that opportunity to get a little closer to each other.
It turns out that it is somewhat useful.
The dozen or so Infinite Warriors who had not participated in the battle and were guarding them, as well as the elite auxiliary troops, could of course observe Maeve Niel and Gu Jing releasing their psychic energy. But since they were fighting the demon together and saved the war captain, they would not repay kindness with enmity, but instead turned a blind eye.
As the battle became more intense, the Infinite Warriors' defense line was pushed back further and further. Although external reinforcements arrived, they were blocked outside and could not enter...
Under the stimulation of various anxieties, facing the repeated requests of the "prisoners", Nero finally agreed to their rearmament.
After releasing the suppression of the black stone anti-psychic bracelet, the mages of the Eldar were able to launch attacks. Especially Gu Jing and Mavenir, who could be regarded as Alpha-level psychic masters, when they no longer hesitated and no longer concealed themselves and opened fire at full power, the destructive power they could cause was extremely terrifying.
The same goes for the Great Sage Cawl. When his big red robe falls apart, revealing that huge and weird mechanical body, and he enters a full combat state, he is a mobile firepower platform and a wartime factory. All kinds of long-range firepower bombard the demons, especially the terrifying sun rays. Although the firing rate is slow, every time it comes down, a powerful demon faces the end.
The liberated Black Crusaders, Inquisitors, and Battle Sisters are also powerful supplements to the combat forces.
The most powerful ones are the Living Saint Estella, the Swordmaster Rosemond of the Black Crusaders, and the Grand Master of the Grey Knights Changting.
This is a combat force of three God-chosen champions.
As for people like Marshal Xi Rui and the other two Grey Knights Grand Masters, they are all top-notch in the chapter champion level, and some can even be considered the weaker God-chosen champions.
They are the ones who were able to survive the horrific battle in Cartier, the ones who were able to be hunted by demons on the webchannel for two months without suffering any serious losses, and the ones who were able to fight against top gods and demons like Shakchi at the moment of their final escape.
This lineup probably exceeds the level of the Alliance's siege on the Orc King Bonebreaker during the Battle of Ohmgeria.
With their joining, the battle situation immediately stabilized.
At one point they even wanted to organize a counterattack to see if they could join up with the reinforcements coming from outside and then re-seal those subspace rifts.
However, it did not succeed.
The number of Demons and Chaos Space Marines pouring in was simply too much.
They are probably able to protect themselves now, but it is difficult for them to break out.
But when several Chaos Champions, two bloodthirsty demons, and two great unclean ones appeared on the battlefield, the situation became even more different.
Soon, Chaos Champions were slain and Great Demons were driven out. However, this came at a price.
More Space Marines died, including a Grand Master of the Grey Knights and Marshal Xi Rui, both of whom were seriously injured.
Nero, whose pressure had been reduced due to the participation of the 'guests', became worried again.
He currently had no idea how to solve the current problem.
what to do?
Come to think of it, it seems that we can only endure the current situation and then continue to mobilize external troops to rescue the Temple of the Heir of God.
But there is also a problem: Super Starfish is now under great pressure everywhere, and the reinforcements from the five hundred worlds outside the planet and the Infinite Star Domain are blocked outside and have been unable to break through.
With demons trying their best to expand the subspace rifts and continue to squeeze in, can they really gather enough troops to completely annihilate all the demons here?
It seems a bit difficult to evaluate calmly.
So... do we really have to use large-caliber weapons such as macro cannons, light spears, and missiles to bomb here?
That's efficient enough. After a few rounds of bombing, elite troops will rush to clear the gap. There is a high probability that the subspace rift can be physically sealed again. Even if it can't be closed, as long as firepower is poured into the gap, it would be best to kill as many as possible.
Even if the blockade operation failed, all they had to do was retreat, fire their naval guns again, and then prepare for the next wave of attack.
However, the only problem is that the Son of God might be accidentally bombed.
It was too close, and the weapon used was powerful, so the explosion range was quite large. Even if there was a one in ten chance of damaging the stasis field, he was unwilling to bear it.
If it really doesn't work, we have to consider whether we can break through with the stasis field and the Son of God, leave here, and then carry out the bombing.
Although the Temple of the Son of God is valuable without it, it is simply an expensive religious building that can be compromised in the war.
As he thought about this, Nero looked towards the location where the Son of God was, considering how to transfer him along with the stasis field.
Then, he saw Mevnir and the Great Sage Cawl approaching the Son of God.
Nero understood what they were going to do in an instant and became furious!
But at the moment he was a little far away, and because he was at the forefront of the battle, he was surrounded by enemies, so it was difficult for him to get there for the time being.
He could only roar: "What are you going to do?! Stop! You hateful alien wizards, if you dare to move, I swear to crush your heads, even if I have to chase you across the entire universe!"
There was still plague fly slime on the muzzle of Nero's bolter, but he saw the skirt of the Eldar god had already brushed past the control console under the magnificent relief.
Maeve Neal turned a deaf ear to the threat of the battle leader. The spirit bone runes on her fingertips burst into emerald light, as if accumulating something.
A huge device was connected to the tentacles of Kaul's machine. It slowly opened, revealing the true form inside - the entire set of 'Armor of Destiny', which was revealed in front of everyone.
"Theriault, stop them!"
While Nero was giving orders to the think tank director, he raised his hand and aimed the cannon mounted under his power fist at the alien wizard, ready to fire.
As soon as the shell was fired, it was hit accurately by a bolt of lightning and exploded in mid-air, knocking down several unlucky demons.
This is Gu Jing’s move.
He persuaded: "They have started, and they can't stop. Trust them once. Now, we need a son of God to save us, and the entire empire needs it too."
Nero turned a deaf ear to the persuasion. He furiously tore to pieces a vampire that came before him, and continued to give orders to the director of the think tank, asking him to use psychic power to stop their actions of "murdering" the father of genes.
But Theriault refused, and began to persuade the Chapter Master as well.
The Great Sage's mechanical voice was mixed with the binary chant of Mars: "Life support protocol has been activated."
