Chapter 409 397 Fallen Blood Angel
Chapter 409 397. Fallen Blood Angel
The Chaos Fleet began the charge in their most familiar formation. On the bridge of the Tyrant-class cruiser, the leader of the Dark Blood Warband, Helders, looked at the alien warships excitedly.
The former Sanguinius Angel has now completely fallen into darkness. In the past years, the bloodthirst has slowly engulfed him and his comrades.
All warriors who inherited the gene seed of the Blood Angels have pale skin, slender eyes and sharp teeth. After the bloodthirst occurs, the Blood Angels will have a strong bloodthirst. Among them, the most famous and most affected warbands are the Flesh Rippers, Blood Drinkers and Sanguinius Angels.
In battle, the Blood Angels will gradually succumb to the bloodthirst as the intensity of the battle increases. Warriors who are completely controlled by the bloodthirst will be imprisoned by the warband on the top of the Amaro Spire in Baal. There was a rumor that on the planet where the Blood Angels were stationed, local residents had mysteriously disappeared, and when they were finally found, their bodies had been drained of blood. Of course, this is most likely a deliberate smear by the enemy, but it cannot be ruled out that it was indeed done by the Blood Angels.
(That's why the Blood Angels are space vampires, and one of their traditional foods is a dish called blood meal, which is to sprinkle the blood of loyal and completely good people on the food to suppress the bad sequences in their genes. However, the Blood Angels and most of the Angels are very good people, provided that when you meet them, they'd better not be in the black anger and blood thirst...)
The origin of blood thirst can be traced back to the beginning of the Great Expedition. The story first began with a warrior of the Ninth Legion. He finally succumbed to a constant rage in the pain of battle until he lost his mind. When the Blood Angel succumbs to this pain, his humanity will be stripped away until only his wildness is left. In the end, death is a relief. (For this reason, Sanguinius even personally led his own guards to execute these warriors, and did not dare to tell his brothers and the Emperor about this, fearing that his legion and himself would be expelled like the 2nd and 11th Legions).
And this former Blood Angel finally succumbed to his desires in the years of fighting, and he and his brothers in the 10th Company of recruits eventually fell into the arms of Chaos. This kind of thing happened repeatedly in the unfortunate Blood Angels and the entire Astartes Retreat. For example, the first batch of Astartes who cursed the army were hated by the Empire because of their many physical defects. In the end, tens of thousands of Astartes joined the opposite side of the Empire.
At the beginning, these confused Space Marines still wanted to stick to their so-called bottom line, but when the Blood God was eager to promise them, they finally fell into the blood pool, believing that the other party could completely cure their genetic defects. In the end, they have already abandoned the name of the regiment that they once let go and changed their name to the Dark Blood Warband.
Now this warband serves the Warmaster, but Helders, who has already thrown elegance and integrity out of the sky, has new ideas in his heart. At the step of the Black Legion, although most of the people are remnants of the old legion, there are also many newly joined Chaos Space Marines, and these Space Marines are looked down upon by the so-called "old traitors".
So Helders took advantage of this situation and successfully contacted a group of such people with his own strength and strategy. Don't think that the believers of the Blood God are all a group of reckless men. Khorne prefers servants who can use their brains and create more blood and skulls, rather than a group of crazy people who scream.
Just when the young Chaos leader wanted to go further, the Warmaster gave him a task to solve the aliens on a planet and seize a former technological product on it. This kind of technological product that can absorb souls can be said to be very, very useful, but it is really incomprehensible where the Warmaster got such information.
In any case, as long as he can complete this mission, the Warmaster will pay a lot of money, and it will also further increase his prestige. At that time, he can even leave and work alone if he wants.
In this context, his fleet collided with the Flame Fleet. Although the number of warships does not seem to be much different between the two, Farsight is very confident that he can destroy the other side, because his fleet has a battlecruiser, and at the same time, there are two more main battleships than the other side. The outcome of the war is not expected to be that bad.
Having said that, Farsight is still very clear that he should not be proud. After all, it would be very ugly if he failed. The Chaos Swords formed a formation like wild geese and began to attack the enemy warships that were already neatly arranged.
This is how humans attack. They point their bows straight at the enemy, then use torpedoes and laser weapons to attack the enemy in front, then sprint and board the enemy's warships, then cut the enemy's fleet formation in half, and finally use broadside artillery to break the enemy's formation in half. (Referred to as the Trafalgar Sea Battle Tactics, GW is just bragging about its ancestors).
This idea is very beautiful and usually very useful. At least when facing human enemies, the attacker always has an advantage over the defender. Even when facing other races, there is usually no big problem. However, this situation requires a prerequisite, that is, the commander has enough courage, and the firepower must also meet certain conditions.
After all, in order to successfully reach the third stage, the flagship with the strongest firepower and the heaviest armor must be placed first. This requires great courage and perseverance for the commander. But the believers of the Blood God have this courage. Helders shouted the name of the Blood God and launched a charge. Behind the two main battleships, the small fleet immediately followed closely, like infantry shrinking behind tanks, closely following.
Vision easily saw the other party's thoughts and began the next command very calmly. He will use the method he is most familiar with to win an ordinary victory. He immediately ordered his fleet to disperse and form a long thin line. When the other party saw this scene, he couldn't help but be ecstatic. In his eyes, victory was already at hand.
After all, those heavy defense lines couldn't stop his assault, let alone the small defense line of the alien. He will use the opponent's skull to show his respect for the Blood God!
Heldes looked at the weak firepower of the opposite side hitting his deck, and excitedly shouted on the bridge
"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God!!!"
