102: Chapter 102 Chaos' reinforcements came and went.
The moment the Space Cargo Elevator opened.
The moment ten Chaos Astartes rushed out of the elevator doors, a shell grazed right over the scalp of one of the Chaos Astartes.
The Chaos Astartes leader quickly pulled him, helping his battle-brother dodge the strike.
The Chaos Astartes leader surveyed the entire battlefield.
At this point, the battlefield was already one-sided, and heavy firepower was continuously being deployed to the corridor entrance.
Without a doubt, any rescue attempt was useless now; the battle at the Spaceport had already been lost.
But this squad still joined the battle; their orders were to reinforce the defense of the Space Elevator port, not to retreat.
After this Chaos Astartes squad entered the battlefield, the situation immediately began to reverse.
Their powerful firepower instantly turned the tide of the battle at the Spaceport.
This Astartes squad went on a rampage within the battlefield, eliminating two Leman Russ Tanks in just a few moments.
Just as they were slaughtering wantonly, they didn't notice a specialized heavy-duty twin-barreled laser cannon being unloaded from an armored vehicle behind them.
The moment the heavy cannon was set up, the soldiers quickly operated it, and their target was the Chaos Astartes who were slaughtering ahead.
As the laser cannon fired, a powerful energy beam instantly reaped the life of one Chaos Astartes.
Seeing this, the other Astartes, including the squad leader who was just preparing to send troops to destroy the heavy cannon, saw two Leman Russ Tanks roll out of the corridor, setting up a formation and aiming forward.
The Xue Shatian warband squad saw this and chose to retreat without hesitation. What a joke; they wouldn't throw their lives away here for nothing. (Compared to the mission, life is more important.)
Without any hesitation, they abandoned all the Chaos mortal troops, boarded the Space Elevator directly, and quickly pressed the command to go down.
At the same time, the Chaos Astartes did not hesitate to pull a strange potion from his pocket and violently threw it behind him. The potion rapidly evaporated the moment it touched the air, and a blood-red mist instantly filled the area.
After the Chaos rebels inhaled the mist, their eyes immediately turned blood-red, and fanatical expressions appeared on their faces.
As if they couldn't feel pain, they charged fiercely toward Xia Xingchen's troops.
The formation, which was about to collapse due to fear, recovered once again.
The officers quickly realized something was wrong and immediately ordered all soldiers to put on gas masks.
Those soldiers who didn't have time to put on gas masks, after breathing a few mouthfuls of the blood-red gas, acted like lunatics who had lost their minds, charging crazily toward the enemy; even though the officers were shouting behind them, they never looked back.
Only then did everyone realize that the situation was not right.
The soldiers quickly put on their gas masks, everyone immediately distanced themselves from the enemy, and then relied on firepower to continuously strafe the Chaos army.
The subsequent battle was so easy that the soldiers found it unbelievable.
This army had absolutely no reason and attacked only by instinct, like beasts, which made their attacks much easier.
It took less than three standard Terra hours to clear all the Chaos forces from the Space Elevator location at the entire Spaceport.
The battlefield Commander ordered the soldiers to clear all the corpses from the battlefield.
At the same time, a Tech-Priest arrived on the battlefield and carefully collected the canister that produced the red mist.
The situation here was reported layer by layer to Xia Xingchen.
Xia Xingchen could not help but worry at this moment; could this be the mysterious technology that Xue Shatian held?
Now, he could only wait for the laboratory results.
Inside the laboratory of the dream star, the Tech-Priest specializing in biology was carefully examining everything.
At this time, Xia Xingchen's troops only had the final command room left to control.
The Commander of the First Division quickly committed the remaining troops to the battle to storm the command room.
Having lost ground reinforcements and ammunition supplies within the Spaceport, the Chaos troops trapped in the command room were ultimately just cornered beasts fighting in vain.
A few officers, plus a group of second-line troops, were no match for Xia Xingchen's troops.
With the end of one standard Terra day, the entire Spaceport was completely controlled by Xia Xingchen.
As Xia Xingchen announced that the Spaceport had been secured, the Inquisitor and their companions' fleet immediately began to approach the Spaceport.
Seeing this, Xia Xingchen was undoubtedly happy.
This world actually possessed an extremely rare Space Elevator.
As long as he had the Space Elevator, he could continuously transport troops through the elevator.
But in a corner that Xia Xingchen's army had not searched, a timed bomb had already been placed inside the internal connection of the Space Elevator.
Xue Shatian wouldn't be that stupid; he had already made all the preparations.
Just when Xia Xingchen thought everything was progressing steadily, the connection point of the Space Elevator was suddenly detonated.
Troy World was the most important transit world in this star sector, hoarding a large amount of supplies.
At first, Xue Shatian did not destroy the Space Elevator so that he could continuously receive Chaos troops.
But Xue Shatian had also made preparations just in case; if the space route was lost, he still had a final solution.
That was to blow up the elevator car inside the Spaceport while ensuring the cables were not damaged.
This was a desperate measure because if the Spaceport were destroyed along with the Space Elevator, the falling debris of the Spaceport and the elevator would be enough to cause huge casualties on the ground.
Out of several considerations, Xue Shatian did not destroy the Spaceport along with the Space Elevator.
Xue Shatian only destroyed the internal elevator car, forcing the Space Cargo Elevator to become unusable.
When the news of the Space Elevator's destruction reached Xia Xingchen, he could only helplessly rub his forehead and sigh.
This damn world of warhammer 40k really wouldn't let me live so comfortably.
Xia Xingchen's troops could only rely on shuttles for troop transport.
