Jumping within an atmosphere has two main dangers.
One is the terrifying gravitational tearing of the hull, and the other is the destructive annihilation of the planet.
For the former, Sith could only rely on the hull, amplified a hundredfold, to hold on, and as for the latter...
Whether the Orks and Tyranids on this planet are destroyed or not makes no difference to humanity anymore.
At the very least, this result of suffering one massive loss is far better than being drowned in the endless alien artillery fire on the ground.
The crew on the bridge stared blankly at Sith, who had issued this order. If it weren't for the Tech-Priests worshipping Sith as the omnissiah and the Black Watch standing behind them with meltaguns, the crew might have mutinied right then and there.
But there are no 'ifs' in reality. After a brief moment of shock, they could only suppress the thoughts of 'madman' in their eyes and cooperate as the warship descended to the surface.
Because if they didn't go to pick up the people on the ground, with the current capabilities of their warship, they could completely break out on their own and leave in a much safer way.
Yet Sith ignored the various gazes from the bridge crew. He simply stood steadily at the command station, watching in silence as the battlecruiser beneath his feet, resembling a massive space cathedral, slowly detached from the enemy ships, creating a sky full of fire from the friction within the atmosphere.
And in the eyes of the three factions on the ground, only the humans were terrified.
The Tyranids didn't care; after all, they often had their bio-ships enter and exit the atmosphere themselves.
The Orks are one of the few races in the entire galaxy that can actually perform a Warp jump while on the surface.
Some Ork empires would even build a giant ground warship and use a Warp jump to teleport it directly into the enemy's face.
Therefore, the Tyranids and Orks found it normal. Only Fanros and his group on the mountaintop, after being terrified, shifted to utter despair.
After all, with the warship in the atmosphere, they couldn't even imagine what would happen if it crashed.
Let alone expecting the other party to fly in mid-air, pour down artillery fire, and release rescue...
The crowd stopped thinking there, and the despair on their faces instantly dissipated as the giant 'floating cathedral' before them gradually stabilized.
It wasn't until Sith actually piloted the warship to hover in mid-air, scour the ground with artillery, and deploy aircraft squadrons that the despair on their faces was replaced by confusion.
At this point, it was hard for them to show shock anymore, because they had received too much of it along the way, to the point where they felt that no matter what they saw now, it wouldn't be that strange.
With confusion about such an exaggerated scene, they looked earnestly at Fanros behind them.
Regarding such an abnormal scene, is Inquisitor Fanros really not going to say anything?
Facing the crowd's questions, Fanros no longer had that awkwardness from before when he was making excuses for Sith. Instead, he put on a look of sincere righteousness and solemnity:
'Yes! It is exactly as you think. This is a blessing from the Throne... No, this is a blessing from the omnissiah!'
At this moment, Fanros had absolutely no doubts about Sith. He even felt as if he were like Archmagos Cawl awakening Guilliman, having recovered a demigod for the Empire.
At the same time, facing the large number of transport aircraft released by the warship, Fanros immediately directed the ground troops to begin boarding.
And in the process of the crowd being busy, they kept looking up at the spectacle above.
The massive battlecruiser blocked out the sky.
The countless small close-in defense weapons on it became terrifying 'giant artillery' when brought to the surface.
The bottom of the warship continuously roared, unleashing massive barrages toward the ground. These barrages, accompanied by the trembling of the entire earth beneath their feet, directly covered the dense Orks and Tyranids with mushroom clouds.
These mushroom clouds were like erasers, turning the land that had been packed with Orks and Tyranids into empty, charred ground.
This tactic of bringing a space warship into the atmosphere to scour the ground not only caused the Orks to dodge, but even the Tyranids, after a brief pause, turned around and left.
With this tactic, the Tyranids didn't even want to commit a single bit of biomass until they had taken down this battlecruiser.
