Damn it!
Kaesoron quickly opened the side door and rear ramp of the troop transport, preparing to abandon the vehicle and proceed on foot.
And then, he was horrified to see his teammate stick his head out of the sunroof and quickly shoot it down with the machine gun on top of the transport.
As a Son of the Emperor, his marksmanship was naturally beyond question.
With a few shots, the automated aerial servitor that had been arrogantly flying back and forth in the sky was instantly turned into a pile of scrap metal under the fire of his gun.
It fell to the side and rear of the transport with a trail of black smoke, buried among the wild grass.
"Captain Kaesoron, it's alright. We've successfully—"
The man had just wanted to tell Captain Kaesoron to relax a little, but the next second he was met with a torrent of abuse.
"Shut up, you idiot!"
"Quick! Full speed! Don't stop for a moment!"
ZHEW—
BOOM!!!
Just where they had been firing from, a missile from the opposite position instantly exploded.
Countless red paint splattered everywhere, and some even splashed onto the head of First Captain Kaesoron, who hadn't had time to close the rear ramp.
He wiped the sticky substance from his helmet with lingering fear, looking at the crimson in his hand.
So... so ruthless.
Kaesoron swallowed.
He's really treating his brothers like xenos.
"Quick, notify Eidolon and the other captains. It's best to get out of the vehicles and proceed on foot. Pay attention to cover."
"And, do not! Do not shoot at the automated servitors in the sky!"
BOOM!
Kasjia excitedly watched the red paint explode on the enemy's position.
He had indeed promised not to use aerial automated servitors in the drill.
The ones he had released were just remote-controlled flying toys.
But if you shot at it and thus exposed your own position...
...hee hee.
Then you can't blame me, Kasjia, for sending a big rocket your way.
A rain of missiles, accompanied by tomato-sauce-like red paint, exploded on the enemy's field like fireworks.
If the paint in the drill was this terrifying, if it were really loaded with melta charges...
Although not many of them actually hit, and even fewer of those that hit caused damage.
But in any case, a troop transport can carry ten men. One missile for ten elite veterans, if it really hit, it would be a huge gain.
"Damn it, what new weapon is this? It can launch precision strikes beyond visual range?"
In the command room, Eidolon, with an angry face, ordered her soldiers to disperse from the troop transports and advance separately.
She had not expected that the battle had just begun, and her side had already suffered combat attrition before even seeing the enemy's face.
Why could the other side launch such long-range missiles and accurately hit her troop transports?
The main reason for the lack of long-range guided missiles in Warhammer campaigns (except for the Tau) was the fear of psionic interference.
This surreal power could distort predetermined coordinates, and thus could easily interrupt or even counter long-range missiles.
(Of course, the real reason is that the tabletop is not big enough.)
But it just so happened that the Third Legion never used psykers.
Not at all.
Including borderline psykers like Rune Priests and Stormseers.
There was no psionic interference.
And no force fields.
This gave Kasjia almost unlimited room to play.
Are you kidding me!
Without psykers as a balancing factor in the war, Kasjia was now just beating up primitives!
"The enemy personnel have dispersed to various parts of the battlefield. Deploy the Type II spider-drone demolition units."
A new type of remote-controlled small vehicle, a full ten thousand years ahead of the Cyclops Demolition Vehicle, was also developed in advance by Kasjia and deployed on the battlefield.
He sat alone in his own position, smiling happily into the walkie-talkie at his ear.
And also sinisterly.
"Also, release the electromagnetic wave interference now."
"Hello?"
"HELLO!!!"
"Reply if you can hear me!"
Just as Eidolon was halfway through giving her orders, the walkie-talkie was instantly filled with static.
There was no sound.
She tremblingly took down the walkie-talkie in her hand.
Damn it!
Along with it, the image feedback from her helmet also failed.
In the position, in a state of chaos due to the jamming, Eidolon felt helpless.
Since she had first set foot on the battlefield, for the first time, an unpredictable fear spread in her heart.
It was as if she was no longer facing a powerful enemy, but a completely unknown existence.
You never knew when he would attack you, or when he would launch a surprise attack on a place she had originally thought would be absolutely safe.
An unpredictable enemy that could not be deduced by common sense.
You could never guess what his next move would be.
Looking outside, the scenery of the training ground was the same. The brown earth was covered with half-man-high weeds, and the deep trenches and defensive fortifications were no different from usual.
But the terrifying, unknown fog of war was now lingering in the eyes of every one of them.
Eidolon, the renowned legendary commander of the Emperor's Children.
Her ears and eyes had all been blocked by Kasjia.
"Interfering with the communication equipment of friendly forces... is this guy really alright?"
Lord Commander Rylanor's face was very unsightly.
This... is this in accordance with the rules of war?
As Space Marines of the Great Crusade, trying out new tactics in drills was to be encouraged.
But trying out new tactics that only work on friendly forces... that was a bit suspicious.
This specific electromagnetic interference was almost ineffective against xenos, and could at most be used against friendly forces.
What exactly are you trying to do by developing this kind of thing?
Your intentions are questionable!
"But this also shows that Kasjia is looking further ahead, doesn't it?"
"What if we encounter internal rebels in the Imperium in the future? We can then defeat them one by one by interfering with their communications."
Fulgrim did not agree with Rylanor's statement.
She was definitely on Kasjia's side.
"Lady Fulgrim, with all due respect."
"This kind of thinking is very dangerous."
Rylanor was a Lord Commander who followed traditional ethics.
He could not agree with Kasjia's bottomless and martial-arts-less tactical plan.
Even if he was the Primarch's spouse, as a matter of principle for the legion, what he was doing would indeed have a very negative impact.
"However..."
"He said that if the Lord Commander really thinks there is a problem with his behavior, as a punishment..."
Fulgrim took out a bright red helmet.
"He said he would wear this."
Fulgrim's expression was a little strange.
For some reason, when they had discussed this matter, Kasjia had seemed a little...
...eager?
Why was he so looking forward to wearing this red helmet?
"Achoo!"
The Second Company Captain of the Ultramarines, Ieonid Telemechus, sneezed, while standing guard by the side of the Primarch.
"Second Captain?"
Roboute Guilliman, who was sitting at his desk on Holy Terra, having already written a man-high stack of parchment of operational plans, but was still preparing for the crusade deployment, asked.
What a sense of déjà vu.
It seemed... it had happened before?
"I am fine, my lord."
"Thank you for your concern."
He actually has long-range intelligent guided missiles!
He's so T'au-some!
