The captain of Kill Team kept wandering around the high floors of the dilapidated building of Hive City. Every low roar of the sniper rifle in his hand was inevitably accompanied by the destruction of a key node in the distance.

Their actions were efficient and deadly, cutting precisely like a scalpel through the nerve center of the Necrons army. Each paralysis of a key node caused the local Necrons troops to fall into temporary chaos and stagnation, gaining valuable breathing and counterattack space for the Lamenters and Mortals troops who were struggling to support the front.

In front of the main entrance of Furnace's Heart, the battle situation fell into a more bloody and cruel stalemate. The yellow figure of Lamenters fought hard in the ocean of Necron Warrior, like a burning reef.

The black hunters of Deathwatch were creating chaos and death on the flanks and rear. Encouraged by Space Marine, the Mortals soldiers burst out with their last courage, constantly filling every inch of the position with their lives.

But Maynarkh Dynasty's military power seems endless.

More Phase Portal lit up at the edge of the battlefield, and new warrior phalanxes appeared one after another.

The dense Canoptek Scarab has completed the structure of part of the Necrons facilities, and each Xenos building is rapidly taking shape.

General Dynasty quickly noticed the existence of these resisters, and more ground troops and air forces were awakened and poured into the battlefield.

Whether in space or on the ground, the casualties of Imperium troops are constantly rising.

On the surface, the casualties of Lamenters continue to increase. After the yellow figure falls, the vacancy left by it becomes increasingly difficult to fill in time.

Although the battle line has not been broken through, the huge pressure is like a constantly tightening iron clamp, squeezing every inch of space. In the Main Passage below Forge Temple, the armor of Shadowsword Super-heavy Tank makes a dull echo under the impact of flying metal, like the dying heartbeat of this steel Planet.

On the orbit of Planet, Imperial Navy, who arrived with Deathwatch and Lamenters, and their Battle Barge are still trying hard to fight Maynarkh Dynasty's fleet, but this is not easy.

Even if the fleet size of Imperial Navy is several times larger than the fleet of Necrons in front of us, this is the same.

Every time Necrons and Particle Lash sweep by, some small ships of the Navy will explode into fireworks in space.

However, as Warp Route opened again, new reinforcements arrived again.

A huge Giant Ship, surrounded by many Imperial Shipss, rushed into the edge of the battlefield with countless flashing energy arcs from Warp Routes.

The emblem on the hull belonging to the son of Vulkan is so clear, it is the sub-group of Salamanders - Iron Drakes (Iron Drakes).

Imperial Fleet quickly identified these ships.

That was one of the thirty Executioner-class battleships given to Vulkan by Guilliman.

Vulkan only left ten battleships in Parent Chapter, and the rest of the battleships were all given to the sub-group.

After receiving these new ships, the sons of Vulkan also immediately tried to modify these huge warships.

However, they were obsessed with blacksmithing and did not touch the taboos. They just added many additional workshops to it.

The arrival of this huge warship immediately relieved the pressure on Imperial Ships in orbit.

The shield carried by Executioner-class is not Void Shield, but a thick energy shield.

Due to the lack of artificial intelligence assistance, although the Giant Ship has a strong ship and powerful guns, it is still unable to deal with the Necrons ship that uses Inertialess Drive to scurry around in orbit.

The slow locking mechanism and trajectory prediction meant that most of Executioner-class's attacks could only fly past Necrons's ship.

Those wide-area weapons with a wide locking range cannot be used due to the presence of Anvil VII Planet and other Imperial Ships below.

But it was enough to suppress the decline of the Imperial Navy troops.

The huge hull of forty kilometers long is comparable to the Cairn-class Tomb Ship of Necrons, and is filled with astonishing pressure.

The thick shield blocked a lot of Necrons's firepower on the battlefield, and the powerful weapon array was enough to penetrate Necrons's Phase Shield instead of scratching the opponent like Imperial Ships.

This gave many Imperium battleships in crisis a solid bunker.

Iron Drakes is one of the Chapter who just left Nocturne.

They received a summons from Gene-Father. Not only did they use Panacea to transform themselves on Nocturne, they also got the Executioner-class battleship produced by Men of Iron.

Iron Drakes, who had enough people, quickly contacted Deathwatch and Lamenters who were trapped on the ground battlefield. After understanding the battlefield situation, Chapter Master "Elder Drake" Helix (Elder Drake Helix) immediately made a decision.

Waves of loud noises came from the sky of Anvil VII.

The sound was low, rich, and continuous, like the roar of the core of a furnace deep in the earth, and like a group of steel Behemoths running wildly. It quickly overwhelmed the Boltgun sounds, Gauss Weapon screams, and the roar of explosions on the battlefield.

Forge Temple Furnace's Heart Deep in the main foundry, at the end of several broad main roads connecting the huge furnaces and casting lines, a dazzling red light, like the core of lava, suddenly lit up!

The heavy Ceramite armor crushed the metal debris on the ground, making a heart-stopping crunching sound.

A group of tall figures emerged from the diffuse smoke and steam, like steel giants stepping out of legends.

The dull sound echoed in the empty workshop. Librarian from Deathwatch and Lamenters were surprised to find that the figures of these cousins were really amazing.

The armor of these cousins, which had to be dropped using Psychic Power Teleportation, was unimaginably thick, much larger than the Mark X used by Lamenters's Primaris Warriors.

"So many Dreadnought Acolyte??"

Lamenters and Librarian made some uncertain and startled sounds.

"It seems that our Terminator Armour is indeed too big."

The dull voice responded to Lamenters Librarian's words.

As the smoke and arc of energy cleared they finally saw clearly these cousins from Iron Dragons.

These are four Terminator Squad.

It's just that it's obviously a bit too big for their body type and armor size.

The green and black armor paint is covered with carefully carved scale decorations and billowing flame patterns.

The helmet has a delicate and unique shape, and the eyepiece emits a burning red light.

Originally, the sons of Vulkan were taller than the other Primarch Progeny. After being injected with Panacea, these little giants became more and more out of control.

With the new Terminator Armour designed by themselves, its body shape looks like a slightly smaller Dreadnought.

Iron Drakes, as one of the five First Foundings of Salamanders, was also troubled.

But now they are liberated.

"Emperor bless."

The sons of Vulkan can feel a trace of envy when Lamenters Librarian looks at their Terminator Armour.

"Perhaps we can do something for you after the battle is over, but now we have to join the battle immediately."

"More brothers have been airborne outside. We need to attract the enemy's attention first."

Led by Raven Guard, one of Deathwatch, the group quickly walked out of Forge Temple, and Terminator Armour made a dull sound with every step.
