Warhammer 40K: Veterans Surge Like a Torrent, Heretics Beg for the End Chapter 101 101 As these ground troops retreated
As these ground troops retreated, the Tyranids and Orks in space, while continuing to fight each other, began to pour fire on the battlecruiser from above without any hesitation.
Dense corrosive plasma and massive artillery shells continuously streaked through the atmosphere, pounding on the battlecruiser's shields like raindrops.
The shields, which had only been reactivated thanks to the hundredfold amplification, began to visibly thin under this saturated covering fire.
Intense tremors constantly shook the bridge, and the overburdened hull 'wailed' incessantly under the bombardnt.
The shield operator stared at the readings on the dashboard, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
At the sa ti, the constantly decreasing numbers felt like a countdown to everyone's lives.
79! 68! 62! 54!...
Calling out loudly over and over again, the surrounding crew, while making no unnecessary movents, kept frequently glancing at Sith behind them.
Only Sith watched the screen in front of him, confirming that the last transport plane had finally flown into the battlecruiser's massive hangar. Only then did he imdiately withdraw his gaze and shout loudly to the crew below:
'Charge the Warp engines! All hands, prepare for jump!'
Finally, the shield operator's voice was drowned out by Sith's word 'jump.' Fanros and the others, who had just boarded the warship, were stunned upon hearing the ship-wide announcent of Sith's order. They didn't even have ti to curse, hurriedly grabbing onto anything nearby to steady themselves.
Only the lobotomized Servitors continued to secure the transport planes thodically, with no trace of panic on their faces.
When Fanros finally managed to grab a plasteel handrail with both hands, the cold countdown for the Warp jump began to sound chanically over the communicator that had been quiet for a mont.
Ten!
Everyone was securing themselves. Even Sith stood firm, gripping his red sword with both hands and plunging it deep into the deck.
Nine!
The shield status report, which had been 'quiet' for a while, rang out again. Accompanied by the shield failure and the tremors striking the hull directly, the crowd's hearts suddenly jumped into their throats.
Eight!
The roar from the outside suddenly vanished, replaced by intense spatial distortion covering the entire ship, brought about by the hundredfold amplification of the Warp engine, while everything else was at tenfold.
Seven!
The planet's gravity failed, and the continuously tearing space began to churn up mountain ranges, along with the Orks and Tyranids on the ground who hadn't managed to run away, sweeping up a 'rainstorm' full of rocky mountains, Orks, and Tyranids around the warship.
Fanros even watched with his own eyes as a Tyranid Hive Tyrant flailed its limbs futilely in mid-air, being blown away rapidly while roaring in fury at the gradually closing hangar gates.
Six!
The waves of the Sea of Souls surged into reality, and Warp energy erupted. Endless daemons rushed into the real universe in excitent, but before their smiles could fully bloom, they saw a Hive Tyrant that had suddenly crashed into them, and their smiles instantly froze.
Five!
Warp energy gathered, and Warp lightning began to perate around the battlecruiser. The hull, which had been quiet for only a few seconds, began to shatter further under the roar of the Warp lightning.
Many turrets on the outer hull were even destroyed by the Warp lightning, and the top of the cathedral at the very peak of the hull disintegrated under the violent energy, sweeping the terrified crew and ship chaplains within into the surging waves.
Then ca four, three, two...
When all shielding plates were completely sealed, the Geller Field was turned to maximum.
With the warship causing the entire continent beneath it to Warp, everyone on the bridge was waiting for the final number that could be the end of their lives. For a mont, the bridge fell into an eerie silence.
Until they felt the passage of ti beginning to go awry, the final number was slowly uttered:
One...
The crowd opened their eyes. The world was completely silent at this mont. Countless eyes looked toward the bridge. Sith stood on high, amidst the constantly crumbling hull, and in this silence, he took a clear, deep breath:
'Jump.'
...
Impenetrable Defense Line - Ustalii.
The planet deepest within Octarius on the entire defense line, and also the most important Forge World on the entire defense line.
At this mont, the entire surface of the planet was engulfed in endless war, and the fleets in orbit had gathered into a sea, continuously pouring fire upon one another.
And in such a dire situation, whether it was humans, Orks, or Tyranids, all were impacted head-on by a burst of violent Warp energy that appeared directly in the center of the warring fleets.
The energy ripples, powerful enough to be visible to the naked eye, forcibly scattered the three fleets.
A large number of warships collided with each other, and many crew mbers, blinded by bloodlust, could even jump directly into enemy ships.
But relative to these rank-and-file crew mbers, when the high command of the three sides hurriedly shifted their attention back from the battlefield, what they saw was a massive battlecruiser that had rushed out of the Warp, covered in thick smoke and continuously disintegrating.
And at this mont, this capital-ship-class warship, bearing grievous injuries unimaginable to the onlookers, was uncontrollably crashing into the surface!
But relative to the planet's Fabricator-General, who was helpless as large swaths of factories were about to be destroyed, more humans were watching the crashing battlecruiser, silently offering prayers for the humans aboard it.
Because right at the impact site of the battlecruiser was a row of Bio-Titans that were sweeping across the surface like mountain ranges!
Ustalii, the most brutal and desperate... Apocalypse battlefield of the Impenetrable Defense Line!
