Chapter 83: Kree Empire 4

Perspective: Leman Russ

Leman Russ stood aboard the Fang of Fenris, staring down at the barren world of Gorgar-7. The planet had been seen from the maps acquired from the wreckage of their ships from the previous war, an outpost of the Kree empire, but it was now about to become a new battleground in the war for the galaxy.

"Gorgar-7," Russ muttered to himself, "Another hunt."

The Space Wolves had arrived with the purpose of destroying Kree resistance, but the enemy didn’t know what was coming. The Kree had no real defense against the brutal might of the Space Wolves. They were spread thin, their forces scattered and disorganized. Their outposts were built on the assumption that no one would dare launch an assault on this forsaken world.

But Leman Russ wasn’t like any other force. The Space Wolves had come not with calculated strategy or precision, but with the singular, ferocious intent of a predator striking at its prey.

"Prepare the drop pods," Russ barked. "We leave no survivors."

As the drop pods hurtled toward the surface, the Space Wolves were already in motion. No subtlety, no finesse, just the raw, untamed power of the Space Wolves unleashed upon an unsuspecting enemy. The wolves were coming, and the Kree would not know what hit them.

The pods screamed through the atmosphere, their thrusters igniting just before impact. Russ and his warriors emerged from their pods like a storm, hitting the surface of Gorgar-7 with the full force of their fury. The Kree forces on the planet were scattered, caught entirely off guard. They hadn’t even begun to fortify the planet’s defenses, thinking it safe behind layers of complacency.

The ground shook as Russ’s massive form hit the dirt, his armored feet tearing through the surface as he rose to his full height. His battle-axe Fang swung through the air, cleaving through the nearest Kree soldiers with terrifying ease. They barely had time to react before he was among them, a whirlwind of death and destruction.

His warriors followed close behind, pouring from the drop pods like a tidal wave of violence. Russ’s force was a hammer, and the Kree were the nails. The Kree did not even have time to fire back; their weapons were slow, uncoordinated, and ineffective against the sheer power of the Space Wolves.

A Kree soldier fired a plasma bolt in Russ’s direction, but the shot missed as Russ ducked with a fluid motion. With a roar, he charged forward, his massive form becoming a blur of motion as he tackled the Kree soldier to the ground. The Kree’s screams were drowned out by the roar of Russ’s axe as it swung down and cleaved the soldier in two.

The battlefield was chaos, a symphony of destruction. The Kree tried to regroup, but they were no match for the fury of the Space Wolves. The warriors moved like wolves in the wild, each one attacking with the savagery of a hunter, each strike calculated for maximum brutality. Bolter fire echoed across the field, and the Kree began to fall back, but it was too late.

The Kree didn’t know how to handle this fight. Their forces were weak, disjointed, and unprepared for a force of nature like the Space Wolves. They scattered, hoping to escape, but the Wolves were everywhere. Russ followed his instincts, hunting down his prey with a relentless drive that could not be stopped.

The Kree commander, a towering figure clad in obsidian armor, attempted to rally his forces. He raised his weapon high and issued commands, but his soldiers were already broken. They had never expected an assault like this. They had never expected the war to come to their doorstep with such unrelenting fury.

Russ saw the commander from across the battlefield and grinned, his eyes gleaming with the thrill of the hunt. He charged forward, cutting through the remnants of the Kree forces like a wolf through a herd of sheep. The Kree commander swung his massive energy mace, but Russ was faster. With a roar, he slammed Fang into the commander’s weapon, sending a shockwave through the air. The Kree’s weapon cracked and shattered on impact, and Russ tore into him with brutal speed.

The Kree commander barely had time to react before Russ’s axe cleaved through his chest, cutting him down in one devastating blow. The battlefield fell silent for a moment as Russ stood over the fallen commander, his chest heaving with exertion.

The Kree were broken. There were no survivors.

The Space Wolves stood victorious on the battlefield, bloodied but unbowed. Russ surveyed the carnage, his grin widening. The battle had been a slaughter. The Kree never stood a chance.

"We’ve taken this world," Russ muttered, his voice low and satisfied. "But there will be more."

He turned to his warriors, the howls of the Space Wolves rising from the depths of their throats. "Let’s move on. The hunt continues."

With that, he began to lead his warriors off the battlefield, his massive form disappearing into the distance as his warriors followed him. The Kree had lost another world, and Leman Russ had led them to victory, one more step in the relentless war for the Imperium.
