The sheer number of Space Marines puzzled the World Eaters, even though this world was known as the 108th World of the Misty Starfield.
It can be said to be one of the richest worlds in the Misty Starfield, but why would such a hive have more than 300 Space Marines?
These devourers haven't yet adapted to the new combat mindset, since they are unaware of the war taking place within the network.
If it were a Chaos Space Marine who had sided with Tzeentch, they might be wondering if there was something wrong with this, but a Khorne Space Marine wouldn't think that way.
Why think so much? Just kill them all, sacrificing them to the Blood God is the only true way!
The Devourers roared.
"Blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice to the skull throne!"
They then strode forward and began their charge toward the location of the Space Marines.
Why worry about all that? Just slaughter all these enemies in front of us!
Chapter 135 Equal Treatment from Khorne
Because the World Eaters are blessed by Khorne, ranged attacks are significantly weakened against them.
Therefore, although the Gauss rifle kept firing, preparing to eliminate these charging Devourers, its effectiveness was indeed weakened considerably under Khorne's blessing.
As the two sides drew closer, Zhou Qing's Space Marines simply abandoned firing their Gauss rifles and instead drew their power swords.
The Gauss rifle in his hand was quickly transformed into a shield using nanotechnology, blocking the view.
The sword and shield duo charged straight at the oncoming Devourers.
As their chainswords and power swords clashed, the Devourers' chainswords were simply no match for the power swords of Zhou Qing's Space Marines.
Therefore, after only two rounds of sword-to-sword exchange, the chainsaw sword was cut in two.
The fact that their weapons had been cut in two by the enemy made the eyes of these World Devourers, who were fighting hard, clear up considerably.
The next instant, the power sword flew past their necks, and a head flew high into the air.
More than 300 Space Marines and Devourers clashed, with both sides experiencing victories and defeats.
The battlefield here is just a small one; more importantly, the Devourers have begun the Chaos Ritual.
They couldn't attack the middle and upper nests yet, but they discovered a large number of people in the lower nest. They quickly gathered a large number of people and, together with their cultists, brought them together to begin a ritual to summon demons.
When they set out this time, they didn't bring enough of their auxiliary troops, so if they wanted to take over this world, they would need the help of demons.
The symbol of the Chaos Octagon began to appear on the Industrial World of Nairrus. The moment this Chaos Octagon symbol appeared, Zhou Qing, who was waiting for the Black Legion to appear in the distance, couldn't sit still.
It's not that the emergence of the Chaos Demon would cause him much damage.
The real challenge is cleaning up these chaotic energy contaminants after they appear, which takes a lot of effort.
More importantly, Zhou Qing didn't want to fight in a pile of shit; the sweeping force of chaotic energy would make him feel like he was fighting someone in a cesspool.
Zhou Qing frowned deeply, a sight that Doss, who was standing next to Zhou Qing, noticed. He stepped forward and asked.
"Grand Marshal, how about I issue the order for the army to launch an attack?"
Although he didn't know exactly why his teacher was worried, he was certain it was related to the World Devourer. Therefore, Duoshi directly suggested whether they should launch a direct attack to eliminate the World Devourer.
"There's no need for that. Don't let my current expression interfere with your own judgment. That's not how a qualified commander should behave."
Zhou Qing did not adopt this suggestion. Instead, he indicated to his students that they should make their own subjective judgments.
"As the future commander of the navy, you must have your own judgment, instead of always doing what I want."
"We've waited so long; if all we're going to do is eliminate these devourers, then our wait has been meaningless."
Zhou Qing didn't mind giving his student a proper lesson, after all, this was a fleet commander he valued.
"Understood, teacher." Doss wasn't a stupid person, and since Zhou Qing had already said so, he naturally did just that.
The fleet continued to observe the changes on the planet from over 400 light-years away, while the fighting on the planet's surface intensified.
A rift in the warp has appeared on Narrus!
Large numbers of chaotic demons, such as vampires and bloodhounds, began to appear, and they started to cooperate with the World Eaters to attack the human empire's army.
The powerful chaotic pollution began to affect the PDFs. In just a moment, some of the PDFs that were firing continuously on the front lines, trying to stop the World Eater, stopped their firepower.
Only about a third of the PDFs continued to fire, trying to stop the Chaos Demons' attack.
These mortals overcame the pollution and erosion from chaos through their powerful willpower.
Because Zhou Qing treated them so well, those brainless guys like Di Chao were ultimately a minority who would suddenly rebel.
Most people are still grateful for the wonderful life that Zhou Qing has brought them this week, and the fact that a rebellion has occurred in Xiachao makes these people feel even more defiled.
Although they didn't commit the rebellion, it was still someone on their planet who did.
This was an insult to them, a stain on their honor, and therefore they had to atone for the crimes committed by those who had rebelled.
As a result, the soldiers in the army became even more determined in their fighting spirit.
Now they are like Krieg, atoning for the sins committed by their planetary brethren.
What is the chaos contamination of subspace?
There are still ordinary people who are able to overcome it with their strong willpower.
Furthermore, the purification facilities set up at the planetary governor's residence quickly came into effect just five minutes after the subspace contamination appeared.
A beam of white light shot out from the planetary governor's mansion, then enveloped the entire planet.
Wherever the white light passed, everything melted away, and even the Chaos Demon was somewhat suppressed.
After the purifying white light enveloped the entire planet, they had cleared away all the pollution and other oppression from the chaos.
After an initial pause, the PDF forces resumed their firepower.
Artillery and laser weapons were put into continued use.
Without the political commissar's prompting or any morale boosting, these PDF soldiers simply fired relentlessly, never ceasing their fight.
Even when the vampires charged onto the PDF's position, some PDFs directly engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Khorne's demons, their phase bayonets embedded in their bodies.
Vampire: "Blood sacrifice to the Blood God's skull, offering it as a seat!"
PDF: "For the Manifest Destiny of Humanity!"
Khorne is egalitarian; he values the brave.
Therefore, when these PDFs actually launched a counter-offensive against Khorne's demonic army, Khorne's attention was also drawn to them.
Some red light began to appear on certain PDF soldiers, who became Khorne's Blessed Ones.
Those blessed by Khorne brandished their weapons and launched a counterattack against the demon Khorne.
Their unwavering will, rooted in humanity's manifest destiny, makes them unwilling to make any compromises.
"For the sake of humanity's glorious destiny, the Narrus Defense Force will never compromise, the Narrus Defense Force will never retreat!"
Could it be that the Lord of All Changes made a mistake in Chapter 136?
As the god of war, Khorne truly treated everyone equally, especially when humanity displayed fearless courage, taking up bayonets to engage in hand-to-hand combat with demons. He was delighted and bestowed upon them all sorts of blessings.
This tactic undoubtedly made the battles of the Chaos Demons even more difficult.
After all, they already had a bit of a headache fighting humans, and now these humans have received Khorne's blessing, which greatly enhances their melee abilities.
The Devourers were furious, because they could clearly sense that their god's attention was being diverted from them by something.
When they saw the red glow on those PDFs, their eyes widened in fury.
Who can I talk to to explain this?
They came to this planet to offer a blood sacrifice to the Blood God's skull and the Skull Throne. Fortunately, their own chief god bestowed blessings upon the people of this planet to fight against them.
The Devourers felt a headache coming on, and the Chaos Demons felt even worse.
Originally, when they were attacking, the enemy's equipment was better than theirs, and their combat strength was about the same.
Now they are even receiving blessings from their own boss.
To make these chaotic demons exclaim, "Wow, so they're not human?"
Are they human?
Oh, they're not human, okay then.
The Chaos Demons were enraged, while the humans, empowered by Khorne, became even more valiant and skilled in battle.
All PDF soldiers wore precision-engineered shell armor, which was inferior to the power armor worn by Space Marines and also inferior to the power armor worn by ordinary people.
However, it also endowed them with a certain level of combat ability, allowing them to hold their own in hand-to-hand combat with the little devils.
With the added power of the Phase Bayonet, they can almost effortlessly slice through all the Chaos Demons.
This resulted in demons being subjected to a barrage of Gauss rifles, laser guns, and explosive guns when attacking from a distance, and being sliced open by human soldiers with phase bayonets when they got close.
The battle lasted for more than three days, during which the World Eaters left behind the corpses of more than 2000 Space Marines, as well as an unknown number of demons.
Their cultist forces and allied troops were completely wiped out in the battle, and they haven't even managed to get to the bottom of the lair.
The lower nest is blocked by these PDFs.
The two sides fought a bloody battle here for four days, and they couldn't even get to the bottom of a single nest!
Such a victory gave the Chaos Lords of the Devourer Warband a bad feeling, so they gathered together once again.
"We probably can't win this battle with just a few of our warriors."
We now face only two choices: one is to retreat now, and the other is to request reinforcements from the War Commander. Think it over.
As Chaos Warriors of the Khorne faction, they honestly didn't want to admit they were no longer capable.
But the facts are clear: Khorne not only admires those who possess courage, but he also admires those who possess wisdom.
If someone knows they are not as strong as the enemy but still acts recklessly without using reinforcements to relieve their pressure, then why should such a person be favored by the war god Khorne?
Caruso's words aligned with the values of the Khorne faction, and the other Chaos Lords of the World Eaters Warband did not voice any objections.
They all used the word "default" to express their opinions.
"Now that everyone has reached a consensus, I will ask the War Commander for help."
