Rumble--!!!

The earth-shattering explosion momentarily eclipsed the world!

The terrifying explosion, mixed with blinding light, formed a fireball several kilometers in diameter, rising into a mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high as the loyalists stared in disbelief!

The entire earth seemed to be shaking, and the violent shockwaves were so real that they blasted the Chaos debris into all directions, overturning it in large swathes like wheat in a field!

Flames roared and thick smoke billowed!

The scene instantly descended into chaos. The Chaos swarms that had held an absolute advantage and were howling just a second ago were physically obliterated by the explosion of the warship!

Astartes?

Stop joking! Even if the Dreadnought came, it would still be blown away, let alone Power Armor. Under the explosion of the Light-Speed Engine, that thing would be no different from a piece of paper!

Of the more than three hundred Chaos Astartes, some were slow to charge and thus escaped the annihilation, but nearly two hundred Chaos Astartes were permanently transformed into a part of Losel in the horrific explosion.

As for the demonic armies of Tzeentch and Khorne, and even the Cultists, they suffered even greater casualties, as two-thirds of them were instantly dispersed due to their excessive concentration!

Alvin felt that if there were a battle report system, his mind would probably be buzzing with notifications right now.

This time, he deserves at least an MVP award!

On the eve of the warship's explosion, Alvin hid in the Xenomorph Universe, but soon returned. Looking at the horribly wounded and decimated Chaos hordes, he felt an immense sense of satisfaction!

"Serves you right for holding a grudge! Serves you right for finding Greater Daemon to torment me!"

Alvin finally vented his anger, feeling a tingling, exhilarating sensation throughout his body. "I wiped out your entire army in one fell swoop, let's see what you can do now!"

Meanwhile, in the Forge Factory...

Watching the Xenos battleship deliberately ram into Chaos, causing heavy enemy losses and greatly relieving pressure on their own side, even Lyon couldn't help but twitch his face. After a long while, he muttered, "Loyalty, it's too damn loyal!"

Isn't that loyalty?

The Xenos, piloting a warship, deliberately rammed into the Chaos before crashing. That's incredibly loyal! If the Inquisitor came, they'd probably have to give them an award!

Of course, as a member of the Imperium, he couldn't say that, so Lyon quickly changed his mind, unfurled the battle flag, and roared, "Gentlemen, this must be the Emperor's blessing! We will definitely win!!!"

What heresy? That's clearly the Emperor's blessing!

Amidst the excited crowd, only Tucker stared wide-eyed at the spot where the battleship had exploded, gasping, "My Emperor Lord, could it be... that kid caused this commotion?!"

Space orbit, World Eaters Strike Cruiser.

The World Eaters can be traced back to the Great Crusade, with Primarch Angron Tarkil, a "legendary" but useless Primarch in 40K.

When talking about Angron, one topic that cannot be avoided is the "Butcher's Nails" on his forehead.

It is said that this is an ancient technology from the Dark Ages that can grant the implantee great power, but it will also cause the implantee to fall into the grip of anger.

That's why Angron is jokingly referred to as having a "Butcher's Nails" on his forehead, which is actually his true form.

There was a rumor in the Warp that the real Angron was actually long dead, and the thing that was alive now was just a sentient nail.

This demonstrates the reputation of Angron, the World Eaters Primarch, in Warhammer.

Unfortunately, most members of the World Eaters were also forcibly implanted with the "Butcher's Nails" by their Primarch.

God knows why Angron would put Butcher's Nails on all his offspring; perhaps he thought it was a good thing.

For various reasons, the World Eaters Legion was the first legion to betray the Imperium during the Horus Heresy.

But after plunging into the embrace of Chaos, the "World Eaters" split apart.

It means exactly what it says: the original legion split into Chaos Gang. Although they all originated from the "World Eaters", they have been fighting for thousands of years and have incorporated many other new forces, making them very different from the original World Eaters.

The Chaos Gang that invaded Losel, though World Eaters, has a new name: the "Bloodskull" Warband!

Not long ago, they ambushed a passing Space Marine Chapter in the Warp.

Unexpectedly, it failed.

Not only were the losses quite heavy, but they also incurred the hatred of the "Blood God" because of it.

In order to reclaim their honor, Piazzas, the leader of the Blood Skull Warband, took on another mission. Following the instructions of the "Blood God," he led the Chaos Gang to descend upon Losel Nest City!

This was a great undertaking to reclaim honor and earn the Blood God's blessing once more.

However, just as Piazzas was fantasizing about giving those spineless "Ultramarines a little surprise during the next gang fight...

The Chaos Astartes on the surface of Losel gave him a big surprise ahead of time!

A Xenos warship, appearing out of nowhere, suddenly attacked the Chaos Astartes on the surface. Lacking heavy equipment and fire support, the more than 300 Chaos Astartes that had been airdropped suffered heavy losses under the enemy's air-to-ground attack!

Upon reviewing the battle report, Piazzas nearly suffered a stroke.

More than 300 Chaos Astartes were lost in just two or three rounds of artillery fire!

"What is going on?!"

Piazzas was both shocked and furious. That was three entire companies of fighting force, and more than half of them had been wiped out just like that?

"Chief, we don't know either!"

The driver was also completely baffled.

Where did that enormous Xenos warship come from?

"Bomb it down!!!"

Piazzas was heartbroken.

The Chaos Gang is already a tough place to be. If it is even slightly weak, it may be targeted by other Chaos Gang, who will launch a plundering war. At best, it will suffer heavy losses, and at worst, it may even be completely wiped out!

In an effort to win back "Blood God's" disappointment, he went all out this time, mobilizing all seven companies of the entire War Gang!

As a result, the war had barely begun when nearly half of his three Astartes were wiped out in a single encounter. Who the hell could he complain to?

Such a huge loss means that if this mission cannot be completed and the "Blood God's" blessing cannot be obtained, upon returning to the Warp, either the Warband will be swallowed up by others, or he will be killed by his own men.

Don't think the Chaos Gang has many rules; after all, everyone has sided with Chaos, what rules could they possibly have?

Whoever has the greatest strength is the boss!

With such heavy losses, if they don't make up for it, even if "Blood God" and the other Chaos Gang don't cause them any trouble, their subordinates will skin them alive!

"Prepare to board!" Piazzas suppressed his anger, still determined to eliminate the most threatening target.

He glared fiercely at the Watchers Strike Cruiser, a subgroup of Ultramarines, floating in orbit, as if it were his former enemy, and growled, "Slaughter those spineless bastards for me, and the Blood God will bless us!"

He didn't know whether the Blood God would grant him a blessing.

But Piazzas knew he had to do something, otherwise the malicious stares from the Astartes around him were really getting to him.

After all

The root cause of this loss, if we trace it back to its source, is his command error; he failed to notice the Xenos warship!

Fortunately, although the rest of the Chaos Astartes were restless, the deterrent power of their leader, Piazzas, remained, and they obediently boarded the Boarding Torpedo.

"May the Blood God protect us, and may everything go smoothly from now on!"

This was Piazzas's most devout prayer in his life.

If they couldn't even take down half a platoon of Ultramarines, he couldn't imagine how "Blood God" would view them. He guessed he'd find it shameful and kick them out.

The other Chaos Astartes were clearly aware of this as well, and they all roared with all their might, boarding the Boarding Torpedo and initiating a new round of boarding maneuvers once the warships closed to a suitable distance!

A wonderful day begins with a boarding maneuver!
