Chapter 735: Tallarn Desert Raiders Engage Cyberk Infantry Legion (1)

Meanwhile, Vulkan reached out with one hand, his massive palm ignoring the searing of the energy shield, and grabbed the head of a Canglei soldier!

"Feel the wrath of Humanity!"

Vulkan growled low, the muscles on his arm bulging.

The runes of the "Dragon Scale" lit up with a blinding red light instantly!

A terrifying high temperature erupted from his palm!

The head of that Canglei Cyberk soldier, along with the precise components inside, was melted into scorching metal liquid within seconds, dripping from between Vulkan's fingers!

Vulkan shook off the headless remains and slammed his Warhammer hard into the ground!

Boom!!!!

Centered on the point of impact, spiderweb-like cracks spread instantly, and a violent shockwave mixed with scorching seismic waves swept through the surroundings!

The remaining Canglei Cyberk soldiers and nearby ordinary Cyberk soldiers were shaken off balance, their internal structures shattering under the unbearable stress.

As for the combat data collected by these Fortress Cyberk soldiers, they had initially wanted to cut off the Human forces' communications, but were directly paralyzed by the Anti-Interference Device researched by Perturabo, leaving this fortress completely disconnected from the outside world, with combat data unable to be transmitted back at all.

Every swing of Sanguinius's Power Spear brought up a rain of parts from Cyberk soldiers; he dodged the incoming Laser Beams, and the gale stirred up by his wings could blow those Cyberk soldiers over.

He precisely guided the assault direction of the Blood Angels, pointing straight at the energy hub at the core of the base.

Volgan, relying on his peerless strength and Warhammer, carved out the widest path for the Salamanders Space Marines behind him.

The two Primarchs tacitly squeezed and crushed the Cyberk resistance forces toward the center on the battlefield.

After a swift charge, Sanguinius landed on a high metal platform, his wings folded, his Power Spear pointing diagonally at the ground, his blue pupils sweeping over the area below being devoured by the flames of the Salamanders Space Marines.

Volgan smashed a Cyberk soldier that had attempted a sneak attack with a shock cannon—cannon and body alike—into a pile of scrap metal sparking with electricity; he raised his head and looked at his brother on the high ground.

In the communication channel, the dialogue between the two Primarchs rang out.

"Brother Sanguinius! Your wings are still as fast as ever; it seems my Hammer still couldn't beat you to smashing open the core gate of this Alien fortress!"

Vulkan's tone carried a heroic laugh and sincere admiration for his brother's speed.

"Volgan, my brother. Your flames and heavy hammer are the key to tearing open this iron curtain. However, these Cyberk Alien fortresses are truly armed to the teeth, with all kinds of weapons emerging one after another."

Hearing Sanguinius's words, Vulkan nodded in undeniable agreement and replied.

"However, with Perturabo's Anti-Interference Device, the data of this battle cannot be transmitted back by these Cyberk Aliens."

"Hmm, it aligns with the plan Horus formulated for us previously. Our goal is to destroy the processing plant that provides something akin to psychic supply to the Cyberk Aliens. According to Horus's analysis, that place was once the territory of an Alien race, only to be occupied and enslaved by the Cyberk Aliens."

Vulkan's reddish pupils narrowed slightly, and the Warhammer in his hand stopped swinging.

"First, resolve the energy supply location of the Cyberk Aliens; this will also reduce the burden and casualties for our subsequent annihilation of them."

"Wait, brother, the Tallarn Desert Raiders Legion that activated the Anti-Interference Device outside seems to have engaged in a firefight with the Cyberk Alien reinforcements arriving! I will go to support them first!"

The wings behind Sanguinius spread open again, and he took to the air, his blue pupils looking toward the sandstorm in the distance; after giving Vulkan a few instructions, he quickly disappeared into the sandstorm.

Vulkan looked at this Cyberk structure, which was called a fortress but was actually similar to a small city, and responded in the communication channel.

"Good! I will arrive as soon as possible!"

When the loud sound of Vulkan's Warhammer shaking the fortress echoed in the sandstorm, the communication shielding field on the fortress's perimeter—that layer of Cyberk interference barrier that had originally tried to trap the Blood Angels and Salamanders on an information island—flickered violently, then extinguished completely!

The core node had been directly paralyzed from the outside by a more violent method.

"Anti-Interference Device effective! The 'Iron Curtain' has fallen!"

A slightly hoarse voice rang out in the Tallarn Desert Raiders' communication channel.

Captain Hakimu hid behind a giant sandstone that had been weathered into a bizarre shape, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes, and through the high-magnification observation lens covered with a sand-proof filter, he stared fixedly at the dust and smoke rising from the direction of the horizon, which was different from a natural sandstorm; it was the death dust wave kicked up by the high-speed advance of the Cyberk reinforcements.

"All sniper teams, mark targets! The Aliens appear to be all infantry; no heavy firepower units have been detected.

Mobile teams, deploy according to the predetermined route, use the terrain, and disrupt their formation!

Remember, the sandstorm is our ally, and also our shroud!

For the Emperor, for the glory of Tallarn!"

"For Tallarn! The sandstorm is my shield!"

A chorus of responses from Tallarn soldiers rang out in the channel.

A few seconds later, the first wave of Cyberk reinforcements rushed into the ambush circle pre-set by Tallarn.

They scanned the sandstorm, their sensors penetrating the flying grit, attempting to lock onto the Humans' coordinates.

Suddenly!

"Whew—!"

A scorching, precise Laser Beam shot out from a crack in a weathered Giant Rock without warning.

The Laser Beam passed perfectly through the gaps in the sand and dust, precisely hitting a leading Cyberk soldier.

"Zzzzt!"

With a harsh, explosive sound, the Cyberk soldier's head was hit, revealing the sparks and metal fragments jumping inside.

A Cyberk soldier's shoulder joint connection was hit by two consecutive Armor-Piercing Shells, metal fragments splattered, and the entire mechanical arm hung limp.

A Cyberk soldier had just raised his arm to point at a firing point when a Vector Shell exploded right at his feet; the shockwave and shrapnel blew him away, and parts scattered all over the ground.

"Enemy attack! Ten o'clock direction! Behind the sand dune!"

The Cyberk soldiers' alarm was transmitted through the internal network.

The sandstorm perfectly covered the positions of the Tallarn snipers, the wind and sand distorted the trajectory trails of the laser beams, interfered with thermal signal detection, and on top of that, there was the debuff applied to the Cyberk soldiers within the Anti-Interference Device.

This forced the Cyberk reinforcements to slow down and pour firepower into those suspicious rocks and sand dunes.

Pulse beam bursts and high-explosive shells exploded into clouds of murky smoke on the sandy ground, gravel splattered, and some Tallarn soldiers hiding behind cover were affected.

"Well hit! Maintain suppression! Mobile teams, interweave!"

Captain Hakimu's voice rang out again.

The Tallarn armored units equipped with heavy Bolters and flamethrowers, taking advantage of the brief chaos of the Cyberk units suppressed by the snipers and the cover of the sandstorm, suddenly rushed out from the gullies on the flank!

"For the Emperor!"

A Tallarn soldier roared, leaning out from the top hatch of a Chimera Armored Vehicle, operating the Heavy Bolter to spit out tongues of fire, sending parts flying from a group of Cyberk Infantry who had exposed their backs.

Another Chimera Armored Vehicle, after rapidly assaulting into the ranks of the Cyberk Infantry, spat out a scorching flame that instantly melted the bodies of the Cyberk Infantry in front.

Although the Tallarn shamo tuxijie bing tuan had gained an initial advantage, the powerful firepower and cold tactical logic of the Cyberk soon began to manifest.
