When the Lamenterss arrived at Aberrus, the entire Star System was almost completely engulfed by Kraken.
The hope of Forge World Saint Voss that Steel Lordss personally guarded has completely fallen.
The jungle world Luna and the ice world Gheasmag are being eaten by millions of Insects. Since these two worlds belong to Death World and have not large populations, the invading Insects are also quite limited.
But even so, Catachan Jungle Fighters and Valhallan Ice Warriors are still engaged in a tug of war with Insects on Planet with the few remaining Planetary Defense Force.
The four Chapter have clear goals. Steel Lords and Lamenters will ensure the safety of the jungle world Luna, while Raven Knights and Scythes of the Emperor rush to the ice and snow world Gheasmag.
The 81st and 935 Luna Planetary Defense Force deployed in the jungle world Luna Hinnock Delta collapsed in the face of the pressure of the insect sea.
The Planetary Fortress--Perma Berg Fortress of the jungle world Luna have been invaded by the insect swarm, and the Tyranids are running rampant in the tundra.
Catachan Jungle Fighters, Crimson Chalice, Sisters of Battle, and Kutana and Borgius. The two Knight House are desperately holding on to the thousands-year-old Clover Jungle. If this jungle is destroyed, the planetary capital will be captured by Tyranids within three days.
At the same time, 103rd Vostroyan Firstborn Regiment in Gheasmag, the 21st, 34th and 76th Gheasmag Planetary Defense Force and several Valhallan Ice Warriors detachments fought hard against Tyranid Behemoth.
The arrival of Space Marine is a timely help, which greatly boosts the morale of Imperium.
Above Luna, the Lamenterss quickly captured four towers that were being besieged by Tyranid creature. These towers were originally used to defend against Luna's local giant carnivores. The redeployed Steel Lordss set their sights on the local Hurac Mountains (Hurac Mountains), they are looking for the right location and timing to create a large "landslide" to relieve the frontal pressure on the troops.
The vanguard and armored troops of Raven Knights and Scythes of the Emperor quickly shuttled across the vast tundra of Gheasmag to fight while looking for Tyranids's Synapse Creature.
Just when the Imperium troops were trying to get back on their feet, a worse nightmare arrived.
News came from Deep Space Listening Post that the second Kraken tentacle is about to arrive, and the number of Tyranid creature it carries will be at least twice the current number.
Xenos Inquisitor Shalisha Talaris sent an almost desperate call for help to the recent deceased Watch Fortress.
The four Chapter were busy dealing with the already tragic situation in front of them.
No one knew that Forgeheart and his fleet had already started heading straight to the edge of Milky Way.
Although this may cause these Imperium allies to have to bear greater pressure.
However, in Iax's calculations, bypassing and intercepting the opponent will bring greater results.
After all, Men of Iron's goal is not just to defeat the insect swarm. Perhaps Iax can give them some compensation afterwards. After all, these are equivalent to using allies this time, but now he still needs some time.
Iax doesn't want these Insects to just abandon this place and run away after discovering him.
Time passes bit by bit.
Compared with Gheasmag, the battle on Luna gained an advantage first.
On the ground battlefield, Steel Lords's strategy took effect.
A huge landslide successfully swallowed hundreds of thousands of Tyranid creature, and the rolling the Rock crushed a large number of small Tyranid Beast to death.
Even the huge Hive Tyrant was seriously damaged by the impact of the Rock.
The Tyranids troops, which were suddenly hit hard, retreated for the first time.
The battlefield was a mess, with Tyranids twisted corpses and gravel piled up into hillocks, exuding a disgusting smell, and their thick green blood pooled into puddles on the ground, emitting strange bubbles.
The rocks touched by his blood emitted strange white smoke and were corroded by it.
This made Mortals troops cheer for the first time.
"For Emperor! Invincible!"
They had almost no hope during this period of fighting. This was the first time they defeated these disgusting Insects.
Even though their bodies were exhausted, they could not hide their joy at all, which was the light of hope.
However, Lamenters and Steel Lords did not show any joy at all after receiving the communication.
Sisters of Battle who were still smiling a little at first, after receiving the information sharing from Astartes, the smile they just showed froze on their faces almost instantly.
Now Insects has become unbearable for them.
And there's more to come?!
But they have no choice. Ablurus Star System cannot be abandoned. If they give up here, the entire constellation will soon be swallowed up by Tyranids.
Steel Lords took Thunderhawk first and began to return to the planet's capital. They must further strengthen the defense and weapons and equipment there within a limited time to prepare for the more brutal war that will follow.
The Mortals troops, who originally thought they would receive orders to pursue the insect swarm, received orders to return to Hive City immediately.
If you are still fighting in the wild, once the second wave of Kraken Hive troops arrive, you will only end up being swallowed up by the swarm of insects.
However, just as Lamenters and Sisters of Battle began to march back with the Mortals troops, Knight, who had returned to the open space in front of the outer wall, and Hydra Flak Cannon on the wall, even opened fire with the cannon.
Countless artillery fire exploded in the sky.
The Lamenterss used the eyepieces of their helmets to clearly see the incoming targets in the sky.
"Sanguinius, how could these Insects come so fast!"
Massive airdrop pods appeared in the sky.
Like a dense meteor shower falling towards the ground.
And such scenes also appeared in the ice and snow world Gheasmag.
The second Kraken Hive tentacle has arrived.
A large number of Bio-fleet were thrown directly into Star System, Imperial Navy and Space Marine by the tentacles, and their Battle Barge were driven away from the orbit by Bio-fleet almost immediately.
In the face of absolute numbers, they must distance themselves and take advantage of their range to have the capital to fight.
Without orbital protection, Tyranids made intensive landings on two worlds at the same time.
This apocalyptic scene caused the Mortals troops to collapse.
But everyone knows that fighting is the only way to survive.
When encountering Chaos enemies, you may be able to change your beliefs or simply surrender and rebel, but Tyranids will not accept surrender.
All living creatures will be killed and then put into Digestion Pool and sent into Capillary Tower to be sucked away.
The Lamenterss roared and urged the somewhat distracted Planetary Defense Forces to speed up their evacuation and retreat to the Hive Citys. At the same time, they began to adjust their positions and try to cover these Mortalss first.
Steel Lords hopes that Lamenters will not worry about these burdens. After all, the combat power of one Astartes cannot be exchanged for a hundred Planetary Defense Force.
Right now they need to conserve more strength to try and fight here longer.
As for Catachan Jungle Fighters, they had no idea of entering Hive City. They turned and walked towards the few remaining jungles, which was their battlefield. Standing in the open trench and shooting at Insects was not their style.
Even if they are about to die, they will use their best fighting power. Catachan people are not cowards and are never afraid of death.
On the other side, Gheasmag, Planetary Defense Force was ordered to finally withdraw Hive City.
Under the orders of Raven Guard Knight, Valhallan Ice Warriors and Vostroyan Firstborn entered the Hive City trench first and began to prepare for the brutal positional battle.
Raven Guard Knight tried to prepare for a surprise attack, and the frontal positional battle was entrusted to Scythes of the Emperor.
