Chapter 272 Planetary Drift, Reverse Boarding

Perhaps it was because everything had been going smoothly for him, or perhaps it was because he had ignored the malice of the world, but Hogg had never thought that the big boss was on his side.

According to Hogg's expectations, the five star gates plus the webway under Old Man Huang's butt would be able to attract most of the attention, and he would only have to face one Horus at most.

But he didn't expect that his attraction was so great. The Chaos Evil God didn't make a choice. Instead, like an adult, he chose to have them all.

Looking at the two thousand warships charging towards Alicia, Hogg estimated that the four vendors were not spending a huge amount of money this time, but were completely using up their savings. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to launch such an exaggerated force.

According to reports from the vanguard troops that have already engaged in fire on the front lines, those Spirits of Vengeance are completely demonic warships, filled with deeply corrupted Chaos soldiers.

This immediately reminded Hogg of the time when he and Guilliman were looking for Angron, and Khorne had dragged the World Eaters from the future timeline over to kill them.

But that time it was just a fleet of a legion, but now it is all flagships, there is no comparison at all.

But now that the final battle has come, Hogg no longer cares about his family's wealth. He directly orders all Blackwatch to attack. Even if they die together, they must be killed in Alicia.

After receiving the order, Lin En, as the legion commander, immediately took over the command and coordinated the overall situation, commanding all warships to launch a breakthrough and defense.

Hogg led his ground troops to Catachan. He wanted to activate his backup plan so that this ally would also fulfill his responsibilities.

Black Watch, which had been ready for a long time, immediately launched a counterattack after receiving the order. The steel ships and flesh and blood motherships mixed together and rushed towards the fleet in front.

For a moment, the entire starry sky was filled with artillery fire. All the wealth accumulated by Black Watch over decades was taken out, and a total of 5,314 ships participated in the battle.

Unlike other legions that were frugal, Black Watch chose heavy firepower at the first opportunity. Countless dragons carrying high-yield nuclear bombs broke into the enemy fleet in a fearless manner.

The hive fleet that had been hatched long ago, under the control of the Dream Creation Beast Group, used their thick chitinous shells to block the scorching light spears that could tear the warships apart.

The originally dark and silent starry sky was illuminated by the light spear and turned into daylight. Tens of thousands of tons of ammunition were dropped every second, and broken steel fragments and flesh and blood limbs frozen into mummies were everywhere.

Often, when Blackwatch focuses its fire on a battleship, it will be immediately exploded by the Light Lance.

If it had been the style of previous Blackwatch battles, excited shouts might have been heard in the mental network long ago, but this time, only the voice of Commander-in-Chief Lin En was roaring in the network.

All computing power was supplied to the command center, but even so, the originally shining spots of light in the mind network were extinguished at an unsettling speed.

In space warfare, personal strength is infinitely reduced to the lowest level, and only the bombardment of warships of iron and fire is the key to determining victory or defeat.

But even with the Zerg cannon fodder as the vanguard, the number of casualties of Blackwatch was rising rapidly. Under the premise that both sides had thick void shields, the Chaos Demon Army, which was fully staffed by the Queen of Glory-class battleships, had the firepower advantage.

After seeing that it often takes multiple concentrated fires from one's own artillery to blow up a warship, Hogg's cry suddenly appeared in the long-silent mental network.
"Lynn! They don't respond to long-range attacks. Charge forward. We must engage in close combat. Ignore their long-range artillery fire. I will draw the fire for you."

After hearing Hogg's order, Lin En also knew that only by boarding the enemy at close range could they make up for their disadvantage. The enemy's firepower was too strong and they could not rush through at all. Seeing that the number of casualties was still increasing, Lin En finally chose to trust his father, and only asked him to be more reliable this time.

As the Primarch of the Black Watch, Hogg would never let his offspring sacrifice in vain. When Lynn gave the order for a full-speed assault, a huge planet suddenly appeared in the center of the enemy.

With the intrusion of this planet, the originally stable space was torn apart, and the gravitational flow that surged due to the huge mass directly caused the two parties that were bombarding each other to be captured by the planet's gravity.

Even though some ships lost control due to gravity and fell to the surface of the planet, Lynn discovered a turning point on the battlefield and hurriedly asked all personnel to prepare for a charge.

Looking at the countless meteors falling from the sky, the ground troops that had been prepared in Catachan showed bloodthirsty smiles, for they knew it was their turn to perform next.

But unlike Blackwatch's excited attitude, Catachan Star Soul stared at Hogg with resentment, pointing at the liar who fooled him and cursed:
"Damn you Hogg, I shouldn't have made a deal with you in the first place. You actually placed a bomb inside the planet without telling me. Take out that torpedo for me right now."

After hearing Star Soul's rude request, Hogg would certainly not take out the whirlwind torpedo made by the Emperor himself. This little handle would haunt him for the rest of his life.

But thinking that the next battle would still require the help of Star Soul, Hogg had no choice but to appease him:

"Don't be so polite! Without my help, how could you have evolved to this point? Back then, you could only stutter, but now you can even curse. This is all thanks to me!"

"Be good and listen. Once these Chaos lackeys are wiped out, I promise to send more humans to immigrate here. You don't want to just watch the trees grinning in the future, do you?"

Perhaps because it absorbed too many human souls, Catachan became lazy. It was unwilling to endure the previous slow evolution and instead became dependent on Blackwatch.

When the Chaos ships crashed onto the surface of their own planet, Catachan had no choice but to fight back in order to prevent itself from being corrupted.

Star Soul, who had never experienced the beatings of society, heard Hogg's promise again, and replied with a heart of food and no memory of beatings:
"Then I will trust you once more. I have already lost most of my strength because of that jump just now. I cannot do it again within this period of time. You must protect me."

Upon hearing that He chose to join the battlefield, Hogg naturally nodded in agreement:

"Don't worry. As a psionic transmitter base station for the grand plan, even if I die, I will not let the Chaos Army occupy the surface of your planet."

Before Hogg could finish his words, everyone felt a violent vibration beneath their feet. It was the warship that had just been fighting in space, crashing to the surface.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Hogg transformed into a giant beast and roared to the sky, leading his descendants who had also transformed into Zerg to rush to the distant crash site where the fighting had already begun:

"Waaaagh!!!!, follow me guys, let's kill those Chaos dogs!"

For a moment, the originally silent mental network was boiling again. Since the battle began, Blackwatch issued the first battle cry:
"For Alicia, kill those Chaos lackeys, Waaaagh!!!"
