Chapter 919: Attacking Sanpimu Star (5)

"Thank you, brother,"

Gareier panted.

A Librarian of the Dusk Raiders stepped forward, raising his Force Staff, the crystal at the top of the staff beginning to spin and glow.

"Heretics! Your tricks are not worth mentioning in front of a true master of psionics."

The Fengqi Psionics concentrated their energy, and a Psychic Shock swept through the corridor.

The Librarian merely waved his Force Staff lightly, deflecting the attack.

"Pitiful, let me demonstrate true psionic power."

Saying this, the Librarian focused his mind, and a dazzling light erupted from the top of the Force Staff.

A pure Psychic Shock wave pushed forward, crushing the defenses of the Fengqi Psionics and directly knocking three psionics away, slamming them into the distant wall.

Several other Librarians joined the battle.

One Librarian reached out, summoning Psionic Lightning, directly turning two Fengqi Psionics into Ashes.

Another Librarian created a Psionic Barrier, completely blocking the enemy's counterattack.

Gareier and the Dusk Raiders Space Marines took the opportunity to advance and clear out the remaining Fengqi defenders.

With the help of the Librarians, the Dusk Raiders' speed of advance became much faster.

Gareier said.

"The control center is right ahead, final sprint!"

At the same time, Mortarion observed the battlefield situation.

"Gareier's assault team has broken through the outer defenses and is attacking the control center; the Librarians sent as follow-up support have completely suppressed the heretic psionics."

Mortarion immediately gave the order.

"Good. Notify all landing troops, the Librarians are responsible for dealing with the psionics, other units focus on conventional targets."

On the holographic display, the remaining ships of the Sanpimu Star fleet were forming a new formation, with several special ships that had not previously participated in the battle at the center.

"What are those ships?"

The technical officer replied.

"The database identifies them as Energy Amplification Ships, Lord Mortarion, a special ship type of the Fengqi Star Alliance, capable of enhancing and projecting large-scale energy."

"All ships, prioritize attacking those Energy Amplification Ships. Do not let them exert their capabilities."

Mortarion's order had just been issued.

The Energy Amplification Ships emitted an energy wave toward Mortarion's fleet.

"Unknown energy fluctuation detected! It is affecting our systems!"

On the Bridge, the lights flickered, and the holographic display distorted and deformed.

Some Control Consoles suddenly overloaded, triggering small-scale explosions.

"Report losses!"

"Multiple ships report system failures! Engine output dropped by 10 percent! Weapon accuracy is affected!"

Mortarion clenched his fists and ordered.

"Similar to psionic interference? All ships, switch to backup systems."

"Dusk Raiders report they have occupied the control center, but are facing a fierce counterattack! Requesting support!"

"Order the Light Cruiser in front to advance and provide fire support. All available Assault Boats, transport reinforcements to the platform."

Mortarion turned to his Adjutant and spoke.

"Prepare my personal Assault Boat. I will lead the team myself."

"Lord Mortarion, let me..."

Mortarion interrupted the Adjutant and said sternly.

"No time to argue. When the enemy uses unconventional means, one must respond with unconventional methods. Prepare the Assault Boat."

A few minutes later, Mortarion boarded a special Assault Boat and flew toward the orbital platform where the fighting was most intense.

On the orbital platform, although the Dusk Raiders had occupied the control center, the counterattack launched by the Fengqi defenders caused more psionics to join the battle.

Gareier and the Dusk Raiders Space Marines held their ground, but losses continued to increase.

"The left corridor has fallen! They used some kind of corrosive psionics, melting through the walls!"

Gareier gritted his teeth and ordered.

"Tighten the defensive line! Hold the entrance to the control room!"

Suddenly, a powerful Psychic Shock wave swept through the entire area.

Multiple Dusk Raiders were knocked down, their Power Armor systems temporarily failing.

"Strong psionic approaching! Very powerful!"

A Librarian beside Gareier spoke up.

A tall Fengqi appeared at the end of the corridor.

His Third Eye was fully open, emitting a powerful light of energy.

The surrounding space also distorted due to his presence.

"I am the Sanpimu Star psionic master, leave this platform, or face destruction."

Gareier raised his Bolter and fired.

"The Dusk Raiders never retreat."

Master Kas'ar smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a scorching Psionic Flame surged toward the Dusk Raiders.

A few Librarians only neutralized part of the power before being pinned down by other Fengqi Psionics; the flame was only slightly weakened, directly hitting the Dusk Raiders Space Marines in the front row.

Three Dusk Raiders Space Marines were Devoured by the Psionic Flame, their Power Armor melting in the terrifying heat.

"Concentrate fire!"

Gareier ordered, but most weapons were ineffective against the Psionic Master, being deflected by the Energy Barrier.

The Psionic Master advanced, his psionic power appearing endless.

The Dusk Raiders were forced to retreat, and their defensive line was on the verge of collapse.

Just then, a new voice came through the communication channel.

"Hold on! Reinforcements are arriving."

Gareier recognized that it was the voice of Mortarion.

"It's Father!"

Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred outside the platform.

Mortarion's Lunar-class Cruiser fired directly at the Fengqi ships near the platform, creating a distraction.

At the same time, multiple Assault Boats crashed into the platform's structure, and new reinforcements arrived.

Mortarion led the team personally, and his appearance immediately changed the atmosphere of the battlefield.

"Psionic, you face the Primarch of the Dusk Raiders."

Feeling the thick psionic pressure emanating from Mortarion, the expression of this Fengqi Psionic Master showed uncertainty for the first time.

"How can your psionic power be so strong?"

Mortarion did not answer, only raising a scythe capable of absorbing and deflecting psionic energy.

"You talk too much, Heretic!"

Regarding the Librarians among his own progeny, Mortarion had always taken a hands-off approach; other brothers would send potential Librarian-codicers in their legions to receive training from the Emperor, but a few brothers were not concerned with this.

Mortarion was one of them.

Because Yingzhou, upon learning that the Grey Knights showed signs of psionic exhaustion when using psionic powers, deduced that it must be related to the lack of a Warp in this world.

Looking on the bright side, it meant psionics would not suffer from Warp backlash, but the downside was that the operation of psionic power required certain changes.

For this reason, Yingzhou had even specifically studied this problem with Magnus.

Magnus's psionic talent was equally effective here, and without Warp backlash, the modified psionic operation method from Magnus allowed those Librarians to change their original operating methods, making the power of their psionics stable and preventing rapid exhaustion.

However, Yingzhou had also sought the opinions of each Primarch; if a Primarch did not care, then there was no need to force all Librarians to do so.

After seeing the Librarian-codicers of his own legion being suppressed, Mortarion made a decision in his heart.

Upon returning, he would have to let Magnus help train the Librarians in his own legion.
