Chapter 995, Charge towards corruption!
Gu Hang swallowed all his complaints.
OK.
Lao Deng still does things.
When people come to his lair to cause trouble, he also goes to their lair to cause trouble.
All tactical conversions, right?
However, judging from the current situation, it is hard to say whether this exchange is... okay or not.
In comparison, the Garden of Nurgle seemed to have been burned quite cleanly, and although the Imperial capital, Holy Terra, was also severely damaged, it looked like it could still be saved - as long as the war could be won.
And what is the guarantee of winning the war?
Gu Hang just thought about it for a moment and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
If it isn't me who can make this guarantee, who else could it be?
However, he was a little hesitant when he thought of this.
When it comes to which one is more cost-effective to swap with, just comparing it with Nurgle, it seems to be a good deal at the moment.
However, Nurgle is not the only enemy of humanity.
Excluding Jianqi who has been declared out, there are still two families left.
Even though Slaanesh's investment in Holy Terra seems to be relatively average and its influence is not as obvious compared to the other three, there is still a brutal tyrant.
His brass throne did not burn.
But soon, Gu Hang stopped worrying about it.
The current situation was already very good, and he could already go down and make bolder moves. Even if he angered the tyrant, he would only have to deal with one person - Nurgle would not have the time to bother him anyway.
Furthermore, Gu Hang had a vague feeling that some great beings, though eliminated, were still somewhat unwilling to be lonely. Although he hadn't gained much, this game was still very fun, especially seeing his mortal enemy—Nurgle—suffer a much greater loss than himself, which made him even more delighted.
He doesn't mind at all. Adding more fuel to the already chaotic situation to make it even more chaotic is what He likes.
Nurgle will suffer more losses in the future.
And Old Deng may have other tricks up his sleeve.
Then there is nothing to hesitate about!
Of course, he would not really tear open the curtain between the subspace and reality and go down to fight in person.
The cost would be too high, and it would reveal a huge flaw, allowing someone to sneak up on you at a critical moment, which would cause big problems.
And there is no need.
Nowadays, in the real universe, there is nothing that can only be solved by Gu Hang’s real body.
Just like the finale of the Battle of Comoros, all we have to do is find a way to complete the incarnation.
The only problem was that Gu Hang had been prepared for this in Comoros. The psychic crown he used to wield his avatar had been prepared long ago, and at the crucial moment, he summoned his avatar and ended the battle.
But now, Gu Hang had no advance preparation.
However, he had another trick up his sleeve.
His own son.
…
After receiving the news from his father, Gu Jing immediately communicated with Robert.
A few weeks ago, he had come down from the sky to the ground with Robert, arriving at the Terra Palace. When the coalition forces attacked from the inner ring of the palace and launched an all-out decisive battle, he had also followed the main force.
After encountering the attack of the Order of the Bronze Bull, he was also trapped in the chaos brought about by these terrible Knights of Khorne.
He also knew that the alliance had a small but extremely elite force that would attack from the side.
According to the original plan, the troops of both sides should have met at the Cauldron of Corruption, attacked from both sides, and jointly killed the demon-ascending Qi Bodu.
But judging from the current situation, it will be difficult for the main force in a head-on battle to reach the target as scheduled.
Gu Jing was already a little anxious.
And now, he finally received news from his father, and his heart was lifted!
He asked Robert to immediately organize a force to escort and follow him directly to the Cauldron of Corruption.
He fully understood the chaotic situation on the battlefield. The arrival of the Knights of Khorne's Brazen Bull had significantly impacted communication between the human forces. Furthermore, most of the troops were caught up in fierce battles, facing either Nurgle's daemon army or Khorne's Chaos forces. It was difficult for them to receive information, and even if they did receive it, it wouldn't be easy to evacuate.
But understanding is understanding, and tasks are tasks.
He hoped that Robert could spare as many people as he could right now.
There was no point in engaging in a brutal melee with the forces of Nurgle and Khorne here. Whether or not we won this battle would have little impact on the overall situation.
Gu Jing did not place all his hopes on others.
He had already contacted the three nearest Alliance Army regiments, all of which were armored regiments. He used his own psychic power to rescue them and gather them around him.
He gave the troops thirty minutes to prepare.
When the time came, he could no longer wait, regardless of whether Robert had found enough strength for him.
And Robert is still very reliable.
In the 27th minute, a troop that looked quite disheveled and covered in blood came out from the ruins not far away.
Their quantity is not large, but the quality is still quite high.
The Infinite Legion's direct warriors and Space Marines from various branch regiments totaled more than three hundred people; there were more than a hundred Guards of the Imperial Guard, plus a total of about three thousand mortal troops. The number of armored vehicles was quite sufficient, including tanks and Titans.
What was more important was Robert himself, and a golden-armored imperial guard who was only slightly smaller than him and was following him - that was Marshal Yan Xinzhen himself.
Seeing these two, Gu Jing finally felt relieved.
"I have completely handed over the battle situation here to Nero." Robert said, "Marshal Yan Xinzhen and I will go with you."
Yan Xinzhen also spoke up: "You said that Gu Hang's power would help us in this process? Once we get close, there will be a way to kill that damn traitor? I hope what you said is not a lie."
"Of course it's not a lie." A rare smile appeared on Gu Jing's face.
He trusted his father.
Even if we put Gu Hang's strength aside, with just the strength of Robert, Yan Xinzhen and myself, a total of three people, we have a good chance of advancing to the vicinity of Qi Bodu's corrupt throne.
Without much greeting, Gu Jing seized the last two minutes and briefly explained the assault plan to the two of them, then immediately ordered the entire army to attack!
It is certainly not easy to cross the chaotic battlefield.
Although their numbers were so vast that they formed endless defensive lines across a battlefield nearly a thousand kilometers wide and over seven hundred kilometers deep, when the Knights of the Brazen Bull surged out from the countless Warp fissures leading to Khorne's realm, these Nurgle forces were also within Khorne's range.
Just as the armies of humanity were scattered across the vast battlefield, battling the forces of Chaos everywhere, so too were many of the Nurgle defences riddled with holes.
But despite this, it is not easy to pass.
The enemy's density is very high. Even though it's messy, a tide of Nurgle zombies will appear in front of you after a while - it's really like a tide, with tens of thousands of them at any time!
It is not impossible to kill off these hordes of Nurgle zombies relying solely on the forces at hand, but wasting time is inevitable.
Detours are also a waste of time.
But fortunately, the troops Robert contacted were not just those he brought with him.
Several artillery regiments were still able to follow orders and provide them with assistance within a certain distance.
In addition to artillery, there is a more direct and more powerful support - bombing from orbit!
As the main battle began, the Allied fleet had already arrived above the battlefield.
The bombardment of Qi Bodu's location had never ceased. Countless heavy artillery and missiles rained down upon the Cauldron of Corruption.
Except for the Extinction Territory weapons that definitely could not be used in Holy Terra, other heavy artillery such as L-type and X-type were used without any reservation and rumbled towards the Cauldron of Corruption area.
Of course it would be best if we could kill Qi Bodu by means of orbital bombing.
Even if the price is to completely blow up that hive area and cause great damage to the future ecological climate of Holy Terra, it is worth it.
Unfortunately, the bombardment of the Cauldron of Corruption was ineffective. The various macro-cannons and missiles that descended seemed to sink into the ocean, completely ignoring their impact. From orbit, the area was constantly shrouded in a yellow-green cloud, making it impossible to discern what was happening below, not even the slightest flash of light from the explosion.
Moreover, it is basically certain that the bombing did not have any effect.
Because the counterattack fire launched into orbit from the Cauldron of Corruption never slowed down. The coalition ships that stubbornly attempted to bomb the Cauldron of Corruption paid a heavy price. Even a top-tier Retribution-class battleship was destroyed by the counterattack.
But just because the bombing of the Cauldron of Corruption was ineffective doesn’t mean it won’t be effective elsewhere.
Although the numerous orbital gun fortresses on the ground and Nurgle's sky-high plague cannons have not yet been successfully dealt with, orbital bombardment cover is still an important aid to the army's advance.
As long as the bombing area was slightly further away from the Cauldron of Corruption, even though a lot of the firepower would be intercepted, it would still be effective. Ships carrying out bombing missions in the sky, while still facing some risk, were generally manageable.
Without the help of these orbital bombardments, it would have been difficult for the human army, which had launched an all-out attack earlier, to launch such a beautiful and smooth assault at the beginning of the battle.
However, after Khorne's Bronze Bull Riders charged into the battlefield, the situation changed dramatically. The battlefield became extremely chaotic, with enemies and allies intertwined and mixed up, making bombing difficult.
But the navy was not idle either.
Occasionally, they would receive coordinates sent by their army brothers, shouting something like "Fire at me".
Often at this time, they could only fulfill the wishes of their army brothers with tears in their eyes and smash their heavy artillery into the army's synchronized coordinates.
Although it will take the lives of many army brothers, there will often be more demons buried with them.
And now, when a more important combat mission emerged, at Robert's request, the coalition's naval fleet specially pulled out a fleet, including aircraft carriers and battleships, which were specifically responsible for receiving Robert's orders and providing orbital fire support according to his instructions.
These fierce artillery bombardments brought great help to the entire assault force.
However, ordinary artillery bombardment is very effective against the zombie tide and also has a considerable effect on some solid defensive positions, but it is not very effective against Khorne's Bronze Bull Knights.
The speed of these Bronze Bull Riders on the ground was quite fast. After receiving the bombing coordinates and making bombing preparations, their location information would often have changed significantly.
Not to mention, it takes some time for shells and missiles to fall from an altitude of tens of thousands of kilometers.
In more cases, the Bronze Bull Knights directly charged into the formation of human troops.
The Bronze Bull Riders are blessed by the Brass Throne. Long-range bullets that fear them cannot cause them too much damage; the closer the weapon is, and the more it carries the fighter's enthusiasm and courage, the more obvious the effect will be.
When encountering such an enemy, there is often no other better way but to confront it head-on and fight it head-on.
Robert, Yan Xinzhen, and Gu Jing would definitely not hold back at this moment. When they encountered a particularly strong block, they would often rush forward first.
The powerful individual force must play its due role at times like these.
Whether they are Space Marines, elite Custodians, or even ordinary mortal soldiers and armored tanks following behind them, their mission is to continue advancing along the path opened up by their leaders, destroy the defeated enemies, make up the damage, and ensure the smooth flow of the marching route.
Fight all the way and move forward.
After four hours of non-stop advance, the area covered by thick yellow-green clouds finally came into sight.
At this moment, they could also see countless huge bodies fighting each other in the dark clouds.
That's the Great Unclean One and the Titan fighting each other!
Robert held high the flaming Emperor's Sword and cried out, "Charge! Charge! Charge against corruption! For the Emperor!"
No matter how tired the soldiers were after reaching this point, none of them refused. Without exception, they all shouted slogans, followed the Regent, marched forward, and moved forward courageously!
"For the Emperor!"
