Lion King: Tactics? What Are Tactics?
Red Moon Castle.
A heavily fortified fortress located on the edge of a forest.
Kamas was once an outpost of the Crimson Chapter, and the Chapter was stationed there. However, with the invasion of the Chaos Gang "The Thousand Eyes," the situation on the planet changed drastically. The Imperium fell into a disadvantageous position, and the fortress became a stronghold for the heretics.
After a cautious reconnaissance mission, Alvin and Zabriel reported the fortress's defenses, including its strength, to the elderly Lion King.
"I think we need a plan."
Alvin offered his advice very sincerely.
After all, this place is at least an outpost of the Chapter, and to put it in the worst-case scenario, it definitely contains large weapons and equipment.
It's not that I don't trust the Lion King, but I feel there's no need to take the risk.
But unfortunately...
His suggestion was rejected by the Lion King.
No plans or tactics are needed.
The Lion King slowly rose, turned his gaze to the fortress, and strode towards it. But he didn't forget to say to Alvin, "On the battlefield, calmly analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of both sides is indeed something a commander must do, but there's a prerequisite: it must be based on the premise that both sides are of equal strength."
Simply put, no tactics are needed, just charge in!
Alvin's lips twitched. He felt that just forcing his way through like this was a bit too disrespectful to the other side.
The defensive systems on that fortress weren't just for show. If a cannonball were to hit him in the face, it's hard to say whether the Lion King would be alright, but his mortal body would most likely be reduced to ashes.
Zabriel drew his old Bolter, said nothing, and followed the Lion King.
Alvin, who was lagging behind, had no choice but to follow, praying in his heart that nothing unexpected would happen.
Soon, led by the Lion King, they walked past the scorched earth and craters in front of the fortress, their steps gleaming in the sunlight.
"Gulp!"
Alvin swallowed hard, wondering if they would be hit by artillery fire halfway there.
Fortunately, the Emperor protected them.
The Chaos scum within the fortress, due to their previous attack, had largely destroyed the fortress's defenses.
This allowed them to take advantage of the situation and enter the fortress safely.
Everything went smoothly, like a fairy tale.
No way, is it really that simple?
Just as Alvin was completely bewildered, several Chaos Cultist suddenly emerged from a corner of the fortress hall. They were corrupted Defense Force, as well as some ordinary people. Upon seeing the group that had broken into the fortress, they stared in disbelief.
The largest portion of it fell on the Lion King.
A four-meter-tall Space Marine?
What kind of drugs is this guy on? He's grown so fast!
But soon, the Lion King's eyes sharpened, and he took a step forward, unleashing the explosive gale that swept in as always.
Before the Cultists could even scream in alarm, he punched them one by one, instantly turning them into clouds of blood mist!
Thick, sticky blood mixed with entrails splattered throughout the hall, creating a scene reminiscent of a surmodern oil painting.
Very good, violent and fierce enough!
In the darkness, Alvin silently gave the Lion King a thumbs up.
They continued deeper into the woods until they came to a door. The stench wafting from the crack in the door made the three of them frown.
The Lion King took the lead and pushed open the gate.
A mocking laugh came from the darkness deep behind the door.
"You've finally arrived, crippled knight."
"You're waiting for me here?"
The Lion King raised an eyebrow and questioned him.
However, the voice did not answer the Lion King's question, but instead asked another, "You..."
Which master do you serve?
Although the room was dark, it did not impair the three people's vision.
Inside the door were seven Chaos Interstellar Warriors, who had been completely corrupted by Chaos. Their armor was unrecognizable, covered with twisted spikes and blades, and the walls were inscribed with blasphemous sorcery. The place was filled with the smell of Chaos!
The one who just asked the question was none other than a Chaos Psychic Power Space Marine, sitting upright in a skeletal chair, his entire body radiating malevolent Psychic Power.
"You're Sarax?"
Beneath the Lion King's helmet, his eyes held a chilling coldness.
Do you know me?
Sarax was slightly taken aback.
Great, we've found our target.
The already enraged Lion King was too lazy to waste words with these Chaos scumbags, so he launched a surprise attack first.
A footprint was left on the hard ground.
Immediately afterwards, the Lion King pounced on its target.
Stop him!
Sarax was startled.
However, facing the Lion King charging at full speed, the Chaos Canister blocking his way was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. With a few muffled thuds, it was as if it had been hit head-on by the Leman Russ at full speed, and it was sent flying backward at an extremely fast speed, crashing heavily into the wall.
At the same time, Zabriel disappeared into the darkness.
The Bolter spat out scorching flames, sending bomb after bomb into the chests of these Chaos wrecks!
The fierce battle began in an instant!
Alvin only then realized what was happening, and before he even had time to complain, he was attacked by the two Chaos Canister at the door, with exploding bombs blasting towards him!
Fortunately, he wasn't one to be trifled with either.
Chaos Sorcery permeated the area, severely suppressing Psychic Power. However, Alvin had more than one method. He ducked and rolled, dodging the shots from the Chaos Canister by the door, and seized the opportunity to use Kamar-Taj magic.
Ta-da!!!
A dazzling burst of light!
Their bullets were deflected by Alvin's magical shield, sending up dazzling sparks in the dark room.
It was so clear!
Two Chaos Canister demons exclaimed, "What is this thing?!"
It is neither Psychic Power nor equipment.
Alvin seized the opportunity, smoothly transforming his magic shield into a sharp blade and hurling it, piercing straight through their heads!
By this time, the Lion King had already dealt with four of them, and the Chaos minions blocking his way were crushed by him like a heavy tank!
Sarax chanted blasphemous spells, his face filled with terror as he watched the rapidly approaching Lion King.
However, how could the Lion King possibly give him the chance to finish reciting the Chaos Sorcery?
The old Lion smashed a pillar with its bare hands, then dug its five fingers into the rock, lifted the several-ton rock pillar, and swung it out like a stick!
Boom!!!
Poor Sarax could never have imagined that this four-meter-tall interstellar warrior could actually lift something weighing several tons and wield it as a weapon!
With a loud crash, Sarax's mouth was struck by the rock pillar, several teeth flew out, and he was sent flying.
The previously gathered Warp Psychic Power dissipated again after being violently interrupted by the Lion King.
"Who, who are you?!" Sarax struggled to his feet in terror, shouting at the Lion King.
But the Lion King strode forward, offering no response to his thoughts. In his terror, Sarax loudly chanted evil, blasphemous words, cursing the powerful Lion King.
Cursed Lion King?
Alvin couldn't help but laugh. Among the Primarch, the Lion King and the Wolf King were known for their exceptionally high Warp resistance!
If you want to curse the Lion King, you should probably use Lorca instead!
As expected, the Lion King acted as if nothing had happened, stubbornly enduring Sarax's curse, and slapped him across the face!
Smack!
The helmet shattered instantly!
Even the toughest Power Armor couldn't stop the enraged Lion King. He gripped the edges with his bare hands and ripped off piece by piece the twisted armor that had long been fused with his flesh and blood from Sarax's body!
Each piece he tore off was accompanied by his screams of agony.
Finally, the Lion King "mercifully" granted him a quick death, smashing Sarax's head, neck and all, into his chest cavity with a single punch!
Alvin thought the battle was over, but just then, he suddenly sensed evil Warp Psychic Power gathering throughout the room, and his pupils constricted sharply. "Not good, Lion King, be careful, the enemy has reinforcements!"
However, his reminder came a step too late.
A rocket trailing a plume of flame shot out from the suddenly distorted Warp Rift and slammed into the Lion King's breastplate!
Boom!!!
The Lion King was immediately blasted away.
