The Cadian Astra Militarum Soldiers immediately rejoiced. With the Emperor's progeny and the Space Marine he led, plus the Princes Praetorian Guard, which had the highest combat power, firepower, technology, and morale in the entire Imperium.
They could ensure that Cadia would not only stand forever but could even directly overwhelm the Eye of Terror. But at this moment... "Uncle Li's troops are only here to help me move things; they have other work to do... A brigade has arrived, and after dealing with the traitors here, they will return."
Hearing Dorn's words, the Cadian Astra Militarum Soldiers felt a bit disappointed. After all, they also wanted to experience the "firepower deficiency phobia" of the Ancient Terra East and the "absolute air superiority" of the Ancient Terra West, as described in historical anecdotes.
The Cadian Astra Militarum Soldiers looked at the never-before-seen rocket launchers... From their practical appearance, which completely defied Imperial tradition, and their high-quality design, all Cadians knew.
Those were "Creations from the Dark Age of Technology" brought by Lord Li Feng... Late at night, at the Vostroyan Firstborn's position,
The Vostroyan Firstborn had once been the Imperium's most resilient unit, but due to the gradual corruption of their leadership, the entire unit, from top to bottom, had completely embraced Chaos.
They now occupied a landing zone on Cadia and needed to hold it until Chaos Warmaster Abaddon led his grand army to attack Cadia, securing this landing zone for them.
They had been in a stalemate with the Cadian forces for a long time. They had not anticipated that Lord Kreed on the opposite side would react so quickly with his troops, and after the Cadian Astra Militarum Soldiers quickly understood the situation, they immediately began to reorganize and press their attack.
They looked at the distant Cadian trenches, which were silent... This situation made these battle-hardened traitors feel very uneasy.
Because the Imperial side was silent, which meant that the Imperial forces were about to make a new move... Suddenly, a traitor on guard looked up at the sky and saw a small object with four propeller arms flying... "Boss! What is that?"
Hearing the Astra Militarum Soldier's words, the traitor officer immediately picked up the binoculars on his chest and looked into the sky. He saw a drone circling, and the camera beneath the drone was fixed on them.
"What is that... a new Skull of Blessing?"
And the next second, several 227mm ATACMS rockets immediately flew into the traitors' positions. The HIMARS quickly and precisely destroyed the enemy's command post, communication base stations, ammunition depots, vehicle parking areas, and their transport planes used for escape.
In an instant, the entire traitor position was leaderless, but these traitors still maintained a high level of tactical proficiency. They did not scatter immediately but instead rushed into the trenches, aiming their rifles... However, there was nothing... "Did you hear the sound of cannons just now? How far away were they firing from! (HIMARS has a maximum operational range of 480 kilometers, which no ground unit in the current Warhammer 40K setting can reach.) Why are their shells so accurate! (Guidance error less than one meter) Why didn't we have such artillery units back then!"
At this moment, the only few surviving Imperial Army vehicles tried to drive out of the parking area and into the pre-built tank trenches... And in the distance... Rogal Dorn was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding an "FGM-148 Javelin Anti-Tank Missile," trying to figure out how to use it.
At this point, Dorn, following the instructions of the Tech-Priest beside him, had already started the Javelin's process of injecting argon gas from the battery into the launch tube to cool the seeker head. Dorn shouldered the launch control unit, flicked a switch with his finger, and then pressed his eye to the eyepiece.
At this moment, the "Night" (Night Vision Mode) indicator on the eyepiece lit up. The night vision sight in front converted the infrared signals into electrical signals, transmitting them to the display in the eyepiece.
"What do I do next?" Rogal Dorn asked.
At this moment, the Tech-Priest beside him said: "The lever on the grip can switch between 'Direct Fire Mode' or 'Top Attack Mode.' Then open the left grip, and after locking the trigger guard, you can enter lock mode. Frame the target, then press the lock trigger, wait for the target to lock, and then you can pull the right trigger to fire."
At this time, Rogal Dorn also began to operate according to the Oil Man's instructions, while standing beside him were Astra Militarum Soldiers from various Space Marine Chapters, taking notes in their small notebooks.
Rogal Dorn selected "TOP Attack Mode," opened the lock trigger guard, and the "SEEK" indicator light on the screen lit up. As Dorn pressed the lock trigger, the crosshairs gradually fixed on the traitor's tank, which was covered in skulls. Then Dorn pressed the right firing trigger.
"Pfft~"
A gas sound rang out, the missile ejected from the launch tube, and then the tail engine immediately ignited, flying towards the sky... After a while, some sharp-eyed Space Marine saw a missile fly to its apex, then rapidly descend towards the top of the traitor's tank.
"Boom!"
Rogal Dorn looked at the distant traitor tank, which was undergoing a secondary explosion, and nodded... "Uncle Li's things are very useful. It's just a bit complicated to operate... If I were to design it, I could design it better. By the way, after firing, are these things useless?"
At this moment, the Tech-Priest immediately said: "No, no, no! My Lord, the launch tube can be thrown away, but that launch control unit must be kept; that thing is the most expensive!"
After hearing this, Rogal Dorn carried the launcher and walked back. At this time, the other Space Marine asked:
"My Lord? Do we really not need to participate in the next battle?"
Rogal Dorn looked back, as several "Stank" infantry fighting vehicles roared past them... "No, we've already won."
Next to arrive on the battlefield was:
"Imperium of Man, Princes Praetorian Guard, Cadian 2nd'Stryker' Medium Combat Brigade"
