Chapter 940, Nightmare Executioner
Like Ji Hao, there are several other groups of people carrying out similar tasks.
Among the various crises faced by the Alliance, the Dark Eldar are certainly not a significant opponent. Although they often attack human planets and fleets, the scale is indeed not large, and the losses are just that - at least not compared to other aliens and Chaos enemies.
They are like annoying mosquitoes. They bite people and suck blood, causing big bumps and so on. They are quite annoying, but to be honest, they are not the most deadly things. They are not on the same level as the threat posed by jackals, tigers and leopards.
However, even mosquitoes are annoying if there are too many of them, especially in the heart of the alliance.
The coalition's army specifically launched an attack in this area.
Many Dark Eldar strongholds were discovered by the Alliance and then destroyed.
However, some of them were still retained, and according to Gu Hang, they are still useful.
As a result, it was used in this place.
Before the battle began, the Alliance's army had already taken control of those Veil Spirit Gates. Moreover, the Alliance's combat forces were far more powerful than the Dark Eldar guarding those Veil Spirit Gates.
Not only in quantity, but also in quality.
For example, the Dawn Messenger Regiment led by Ji Hao, all members used the "Glory" seeds under the Saint Legion, all of them have undergone training by the Son of Blessing, and their strength level is quite brave.
The effect of such a fully-staffed regiment's attack is powerful.
Before the defenders of the Curtain Spirit Gate could react, they were all wiped out.
And it is not just these elite troops that are being mobilized this time.
There is also the Central Front.
The alliance now has five fronts on the expedition.
There are four of them in the Dark Side Expedition. The Northern Front Army is responsible for defense, holding up the entire Scarlet Scar's defense line and preventing the Chaos Army from emerging from the Scar from threatening the Alliance's hinterland. The Southern Front Army, the Eastern Front Army, and the Angel Front Army are heading south in three directions to basically recover the entire Eastern Front of the Empire. The next step is to head to the Southern Front of the Empire.
The Western Front Army, after conquering the two cosmic domains in the central territories of the Empire on the Dark Side, crossed the Scarlet Scar from the Seven Star Corridor and headed towards the Holy Territory of the Empire, towards Holy Terra. Their actions were no longer on the Dark Side of the Empire, so they were not considered part of the Dark Side Expedition, but part of the Terra Expedition.
The last front is the Alliance’s Central Front.
This force seemed not to be involved in external wars, but their responsibilities were not light at all. Their main job was to guard the heartland of the alliance, as well as a large number of occupied and developing areas.
Although these places are already the territories of the Alliance, the recovery work has been completed, and the most important battles have been fought. However, in the dark universe, despite the light of the Thunder Torch Tower, the influence of chaos and the corruption of the aliens are always there.
Before the catastrophe, disasters in various places had never stopped, let alone after the catastrophe.
The Central Front is responsible for this work.
The Alliance's occupation was never the end of the matter. Since the Alliance was pursuing long-term peace and stability, in addition to political stability, economic development, and military defense of the planet itself, it still needed a strong military force to suppress everything.
If you really count it, the Central Front is almost the most powerful among the five fronts!
Of course, it doesn't mean that the Alliance will just leave its strongest military force at home. In fact, as the territory occupied by the Dark Side Expedition becomes larger and larger, the Central Front Army will naturally have to guard more and more areas, which puts a lot of pressure on them. In addition, the Alliance is also adopting a rotation mechanism. The front-line troops, when they are tired, will also come back to rotate and rest.
Before going to the front again, they were naturally deployed to the Central Front.
The organized troops of the Central Front will also be rotated to other fronts during this stage to serve as new force supplements.
In general, the entire Central Front has always maintained the largest and most powerful force among all the fronts.
To put it bluntly, the alliance does need a strong enough army to sit in the center. If they put all of them in the expeditionary force, what if something goes wrong? There must still be enough troops to control everything.
When necessary, they can also carry out large-scale military missions.
For example, now - attack Comoros with all our strength!
The scale of the seven curtain spirit gates was not large. Although all of them could accommodate battleships of the size of a battleship, only one ship could enter at a time.
If there was only the Veil Gate, then there would be no point in fighting this battle. The Dark Eldar would be on the other side, blocking the main gate. There would be no need to destroy or close the Veil Gate. They would just block the gate and destroy every human fleet that came in, and that would be the end of it.
But the good thing is that Queen Rose Harbor is still under human control. This gives the Alliance Fleet the opportunity to accumulate troops step by step, and the Dark Eldar can only interfere.
After all, they haven't even dealt with the expeditionary fleet yet. The Glorious Queen of the Infinite Regiment squatted here and became the backbone!
And it’s not over yet.
After humans gained control of the Veil Gate and the ports, were they satisfied with using these seven 'small water pipes' to deploy troops?
That's definitely not the case.
It is imperative to expand the scale of the existing Curtain Spirit Gate, and even build a new, larger-scale Curtain Spirit Gate.
The Dawn Messenger Regiment led by Ji Hao is responsible for this responsibility.
A full force of Dawn Messengers and thousands of Blessed Sons were quickly deployed to the ground battlefield via hundreds of fighter jets and transport planes under the cover of orbital firepower.
At this time, the Alliance troops entering Comoros have been connected to the expeditionary command system led by Robert. Gu Hang actually doesn't mind handing over the Alliance troops to Robert's command, but the command systems of both sides are not compatible, and it is not good to rashly carry out tactical coordination without rehearsal, which is more likely to cause problems.
The alliance's army still carried out its tasks according to its original plan.
At most, we just need to inform the Terra Expeditionary Force of the relevant information when we take action.
This is the case with the current Messenger of Dawn.
What’s so great about Robert is that in this situation he can even take charge of the command of coordinated operations.
The Dawnbringer's current goal is to capture a warehouse that has been discovered in previous intelligence. It is unknown how many Dark Eldar troops are stationed there, and it may not be a lot, but the most difficult part of the mission is that the enemy may destroy the warehouse if they cannot defend it.
And in this warehouse are the materials for building the Curtain Spirit Gate, which are necessary for subsequent human forces to expand the Curtain Spirit Gate.
Humans cannot produce this thing by themselves, they have to take it from the black people.
After Robert learned about the mission of the Dawn Messengers, he quickly cooperated.
A pure armored division formed from a certain religious world at his disposal launched a heroic charge under the fanatical shouts and calls of the state religion priests, opened a passage for the Dawn Messenger in advance, and attracted the attention of a wave of enemies.
When the Dawn Messengers led by Ji Hao arrived not far from the warehouse, orbital fire support from an expeditionary cruiser quickly arrived.
The explosive orbital firepower gave the ground forces a good start. The enemies in the area around the warehouse coordinates were bombed.
In order to avoid affecting the warehouse, the standard of firepower used was not high, but the effect was still quite good.
A company of Space Marines from an Infinite Warriors Sub-Ramie launched the attack first. This was to conduct a fire reconnaissance on the enemies inside the warehouse to see how strong the enemies inside were. Nearly a hundred Space Marines were actually a considerable force. If the enemies inside the warehouse were not strong, they might even be able to capture the warehouse directly, and there would be no need to bother the Dawn Heralds.
Even if it is not possible, at least we can go one step further and clear out the enemies for the Dawn Messengers.
In general, under Robert's command, after a set of combined punches, the Dawn Messengers don't have to worry about anything. They can just go directly to the target location and take the things away.
Ji Hao was quite emotional about this.
It is indeed comfortable to fight under the Son of God.
However, he was somewhat uncomfortable with it, or perhaps he didn't like it very much.
The Dawnbringers were established not long ago, and have been in the Central Front of the Alliance. They have fought some minor battles and have not had the opportunity to rotate to other fronts. As the head of the chapter, he is very confident in the strength of his own chapter, and most of the chapters are no match for them. It is precisely because of his confidence in strength that he is eager to lead his own chapter to achieve a glorious enough record, so that people will give a thumbs up when they mention the Dawnbringers. As the first generation of the chapter leader, he wants to leave a glorious history for the chapter.
A crucial battle, a crucial performance, is what he cares about.
As a result, Robert paved the way for Ji Hao very smoothly, and Ji Hao was more or less depressed.
Of course, this will not prevent him from adjusting his mindset and performing his mission well.
However, the space for performance soon came.
That company suffered unexpected losses and had to call for help.
According to them, there was a very powerful elite group of Dark Eldar among the enemies, whose individual strength even exceeded that of Space Marines, and they were unable to complete the predetermined task of clearing out the enemies outside.
Ji Hao attached great importance to this.
It was definitely not a good idea to be happy when friendly forces were badly hit, but he still found it difficult to hide his excitement.
However, he was still rational. He did not act rashly. The large force he led continued to advance according to the original plan, but he sent the second company to provide support and help the friendly regiment escape.
…
Nightmare Executioner, Bilson knew this kind of enemy.
As a senior captain of the Infinite Child Archon Chapter, he had encountered this kind of enemy before the Cataclysm.
It was when they were defending the trade routes from the Alliance to the Infinite Star Region that he and his company encountered an opponent that impressed him deeply while defending and counterattacking various attacks by the Dark Eldar.
These super warriors of the Eldar, who are dressed in heavy black armor and whose movements are as unpredictable as phantoms, are even more powerful than ordinary Space Marines. They are not equipped with any long-range weapons, but they can come to the front of the Space Marines in a swift and unstoppable way.
They would even use a method similar to short-distance teleportation and flashing. Their dark bodies could really transform into a shadow-like appearance, disappearing on the spot and then reappearing at the target location.
Then, the vortex scimitars in their hands with strong armor-piercing ability can pose a great threat to the Space Marines in close combat.
Many of Bilson's battle-brothers fell to the scimitars of Nightmare's executioners in the battles before the Cataclysm.
But in the past, the number of Nightmare Executioners was always small. He had never encountered a Nightmare Squad with more than ten people.
And this time, the Nightmare Squad he foresaw had as many as fifty people!
In just one teleportation assault, Bilson's company lost twenty Space Marines.
Their offensive came to an immediate halt, and they could only fight and retreat, while immediately sending a request for help to the Messenger of Dawn.
The enemy's counterattack was quite fierce. The soldiers of the Holy Infant Archon were not unable to fight back, but they had to be wary of the surprise attack of the Nightmare Executioners. After the previous Nightmare Squad finished a round of surprise attack, they retreated under the cover of other black skin troops. They obviously did not want to fight the Space Marines head-on after showing up, but retreated to look for the next opportunity to attack.
Bilson's company had to form a very tight formation, even though it was almost impossible to counterattack and it would be very easy to suffer heavy casualties when bombarded by artillery fire. Otherwise, once the formation was scattered, the Nightmare Executioner would teleport and attack again, and suddenly there would be no sound or movement behind them. With one strike, I'm afraid dozens of combat brothers would be beheaded in the first place.
Fortunately, the Dawn Messengers arrived to provide support.
However, when Bilson saw that there were only a hundred Dawn Messengers coming, his expression changed again.
"Why is there only one company?" Bilson's voice sounded a little panicked.
In his opinion, there was no point in bringing another company, as they would still be quickly teleported over by the nightmares, beheaded, and then evacuated. If this happened a few more times, the new Dawn Messengers would end up in the same situation as them.
There must be a large number of Space Marines arriving to crush the enemy in one fell swoop, so that those Nightmares cannot rely on the cover of their own troops and are exposed, and the two sides can engage in a head-on battle.
Although the Dark Eldar Nightmares are also very capable in frontal combat, they are certainly no match for the impact of Space Marines that number several or dozens of times theirs.
However, what can a company of soldiers do?
