Chapter 434

"How did a Titan Legion disappear?"

The war blacksmith, "Stone Forge" Thorn Brown, stood on the bridge and asked a question that hit people's hearts.

"Who the hell can tell me?"

The Iron Warrior roared loudly, waving his arms:

"A legion of fucking Titans, how the fuck did it disappear without a trace?"

Standing around the bridge was a circle of Black Machine Oilers, Chaos Space Marines, and Fallen Titan pilot crews, but no one could answer his question, and everyone was silent.

Regarding the fact that the entire fleet was wiped out, no one can give War Blacksmith an answer. In fact, many people still cannot believe that a Titan Legion plus a Knight Family plus five mixed regular-class cruisers... can really be like this Inexplicably, inexplicably, it disappeared.

You can't say "unclear".

At least the astropath on the transport cruiser of the Vikstrike family gave them some information before they died: The Iron Buddha Chapter jumped to help three chaos strike cruisers, and within five hours, all three battleships lost contact... …and then, no more.As for how the untamed lord Titan Legion on the ground was defeated, they didn't know.

Because the Chaos Knight family didn't pay attention to the ground battlefield during the whole process—the Iron Buddha Chapter also jumped to help the transport cruiser, which caused them to be in a hurry. Fortunately, the space fighters who jumped to help were finally defeated by the Looting Knights.Afterwards, he was busy running for his life the whole time, fleeing from one galaxy to another, and the Space Marine fleet pursued him all the way...

"A mess!"

Sotarn scolded:

"It's okay to lose the battle. What equipment, what deployment, how many troops the enemy has... I don't know any information, and the loss is unclear. It's just a mess!"

"Shut up, Sotarn."

A black machine oil guy retorted:
"Didn't you notice that key word? The Vixstrike family said 'Tiao Gang'. Your fighter Tiao Gang has never fought, so you lost orbital air supremacy!"

"Indeed."

"Agreed."

The engine oil guys who were scolded in a hurry seconded their proposals one after another.

"Then tell me how to explain the ground forces..."

The war blacksmith was about to spout in a panic, but stopped his words abruptly, gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, okay, okay. Do you think that an unknown Astartes battle group can defeat the Iron Warriors in a gang battle? Then please open your eyes and see clearly, how the Iron Warriors smashed those false emperor's lackeys ..."

"My lord, the enemy fleet is approaching again!"

An Iron Warrior stepped forward and spoke.

That Chapter Astartes harassing again?

"Or a tentative attack?"

Sautane Browne was interrupted halfway through his speech, glared at his subordinates with a little dissatisfaction, and asked.

"No, my lord, it's not a probing attack!"

Another Iron Warrior ran over and said loudly:
"We have observed that the puppet emperor's navy in the Hive World's airport is fully dispatched. A battlecruiser and two light cruisers have all left the port. They want to attack from both sides!"

"This fucking..."

Sotarn Browne felt very uncomfortable.

It's not that he was afraid of the other party, but that the series of arrangements adopted by the other party made him very passive.

Before, he wanted to wait for the other party to come to lift the siege of the hive world, and it happened that he could kill two birds with one stone, but the other party ignored the hive world at all, and wanted to attack the plundering fleet of the Dark Mechanicus, forcing the black machine oil guys to attack Putting pressure on himself, he had no choice but to divide his troops.

Now he wants the other party to take care of those plundering fleets and ignore the hive world. It is best to wait until he takes down the hive world in one go, and free up his hands for a battle between the two sides. As a result, the other party ignores the plundering fleets of the galaxy at this time , Concentrate on saving the hive world with one mind.

Every step is against him.

"Stone Forging" Suotan Browne felt as if someone had pinched his vitals, as if the opponent had completely seen through him, and every move blocked his only path.

This feeling is really annoying.

"Damn."

Suotang smacked his lips and whispered to himself.

"Obviously there is only one last hit..."

As a siege master of the Iron Warriors, the War Blacksmith is very clear: the morale of the defenders in the hive world has dropped to a critical point.Uprisings and riots come and go, as long as you continue to wait patiently for a while, the hive world will surely be destroyed by itself, and you will be able to take down this planet without bloodshed...

But at this time, those guys came, not only appearing in the galaxy, but also with great fanfare and swagger. The defenders who were already on the verge of collapse suddenly regained confidence because of the arrival of reinforcements, and even dared to launch a counterattack...without a single soldier The hope of taking over the hive world has come to naught.

"Not every war requires stratagem..."

The warsmith recalled the adage Primarch Perturabo once told him, and whispered:
"In that case... let's go to war!"

Any war, no matter how complicated the game is beforehand, will eventually fall into a frontal battle.

Seeing this, several black machine oil guys looked at each other. After a silent and secret exchange of data lingo, the leader of the black machine oil guy said loudly:
"Lord Sotarn Braun, we are going to send the Titan Legion to forcibly land on the surface of Hive World. Please cover us and help break through the orbital defense."

There was no tone in the black machine oil guy's voice, just like a plain stylized voice broadcast, and there was no meaning of discussion, just a notification.

Sautane Brown was a little strange. Why did this group of short-sighted and selfish black machine oil guys suddenly make up their minds to fight to the death with the imperial defenders?But he has no reason to object—the Titan Legion is useless in space naval battles. If the black machine oil guy doesn’t care about the loss, he can simply pull it to the ground and attack the imperial defenders in the hive to force the navy fleet to return to defense—— It's all about mixing the water.

"Okay, we landed according to the original plan."

The war blacksmith nodded and said.

As a qualified Space Marine officer, since he has made a siege plan, he naturally also has a storm plan. The temporary decision to land in the hive world will not make the troops in a hurry, just follow another backup plan.

With an order, the crew members of the Chaos Battleship quickly mobilized and steered the battleship to turn. The Chaos Space Marines rushed to the arsenal, preparing for the battle between the Jumping Gang and the Anti-Bouncing Gang. The technical heretics of the Dark Mechanicus returned to the ship, Prepare to lead the Titan Legion to land on the surface of the planet...

……

Hive world of Xeros II.

The capital of Ni De Lena's sub-star region, this planet that has never had much sense of existence in the steel ring belt, suddenly became lively today, with various types of warships fighting in the void, maneuvering back and forth, intertwined artillery fire .

The battleband fleet and the Imperial defenders were attacking from both sides.

The rebel fleet was not afraid to launch a landing brazenly.

The battlefield became chaotic in an instant.

The Titan Legion's transport fleet, under the cover of the Chaos battleship, dispatched landers to break into the planet's atmosphere. The giant landing capsule, which was comparable to a small transport ship, landed in the wasteland outside the Hive City, and the steel giants walked out one by one.

After queuing up, the Titan Legion set up their weapons to prop up the void shield wall and began to advance towards the hive city.

This is the main hive city in the hive world, with the most crowded population and the most complex defense facilities. However, there are 22 Titans of all sizes, and no hive city can stop such an army.Among them is a Warmaster-level Titan Wallbreaker, a specially improved model specially designed for melee attacks. Surrounded by other Titans, it approached the high walls of the hive city step by step.

Cannonballs, plasma, and lasers splashed on the void shield like a torrential rain, and quickly shattered the void shield covering the entire hive city. The overloaded "transparent bubbles" exploded, and colorful thunderbolts exploded. Flames spread in the air.Before these visions completely dissipated, the Titan firepower immediately projected onto the mountain-like hive city.

The tower collapsed, the beams and columns exploded, and the three-dimensional and towering hive city was being peeled off layer by layer.Without the support of some key structural parts, the hive city collapsed block by block, and tens of thousands of hive city residents were crushed to death by the collapsed buildings in a single shelling.

The interior of the city was even more catastrophic: the rupture of the exhaust pipe caused the spread of highly toxic smoke, the explosion of the water storage tank caused a large amount of clean water to wash and flood the streets, the exhaust fans and exhaust valves had stopped working, and within ten minutes, people The air I breathed became stale and I began to feel suffocated.

In front of the firepower of the Titan Legion.

Hive cities are so fragile.

At this time, the command center located in the airport.

"The main city of Hive Capital No. [-] is under attack!"

"The rebels are still advancing."

"Ask for support, the planetary governor asks for support!"

"The Uresh Grenadier said that it can't resist the Chaos Titan Legion. The outer defense line has been broken through. The Wall Breaker has approached the wall. We need the Dawn Stars Titan!"

Urgent messages came one after another.

The commander of the Imperial Guard frowned.

"Have the Starwalkers been deployed?"

The commander looked at the staff officers.

"The technical priest said that the Titans of the Dawning Stars are heading towards the main city of Hive One at full speed, but... But they can't guarantee that they can stop the Gatekeeper and the Tamer."

The staff officer replied in a low voice.

The difference in numbers is too great.

The commander also understands in his heart that after the previous battles, the Dawn Stars are almost a broken formation, and there are not a few Titans left. It is almost an impossible task to prevent the enemy from destroying the No. [-] main hive city... Although he does not Understand why the enemy suddenly launched an attack on Hive City No. [-].

"Ask the Titan Legion to speed up."

In the end, that's all he could say.

At this time, on the outskirts of the main city of Hive Capital No. [-].

Tall and stalwart, like a god-level warlord-level Titan, he has already approached the wall of the hive world.Titan raised the Clius-type siege drill in his right hand, and smashed it hard on the outer wall of the hive capital. With the rapid rotation of the adamantine drill bit, the city base made of chalk mixed with plastic steel quickly collapsed, and the gravel slid along A wide slope is formed below.Then, Titan raised the Kleus-type gravity implosion cannon on his left arm again, a beam of distorted light and air flashed by, and the thick gravity ray hit a minaret of the hive city, and the minaret and the turret on it immediately collapsed without any damage. Burning or exploding, it is like being completely crushed by the sudden increase of its own weight.

The legendary gravity weapon!

And it's a Titan Gravity Weapon.

If Aoyama Khan saw this scene.

The halazi can flow out of his mouth.

At this moment, in the void outside the planet.

The three fleets in space are still fighting fiercely. From the perspective of the number of battleships alone, the Imperial Army has a slight advantage, but the Astartes Battlegroup and the Imperial Navy Fleet belong to two different systems. There is no unified command on both sides but only coordinated operations. There are inevitably some omissions in the coordination, and it is impossible to achieve uniformity.

The battleband fleet wants to get as close as possible to the Chaos battleship to start the jump.The Chaos fleet is trying to maintain formation and then split and intersperse.The Imperial Navy tried to widen the distance to find loopholes in the enemy's formation, seeking to aim at the enemy's weak side with strong firepower, just like the era of sailing warships, looking for the "T" prefix, and striving to attack the enemy from the side... The goals of the three parties are not consistent, resulting in the entire film. The battlefield is very chaotic, and it is impossible to tell the winner in a short time.

"Don't block our way forward..."

"Move upward to avoid, up! Up!"

"Request the navy to merge into our communication data link, accept unified command, request... be careful of impact!!!"

On the bridge of the Suzheng, Eugene was yelling at the communication array, almost hoarse, trying to control the situation, but the space battlefield was still very chaotic, the three-party fleet gathered around the hive world, and the battle distance was very close With high-speed maneuvering, it is very difficult to achieve unified command.

The old god Fu Qinghai is sitting on the captain's chair.

Not a single Space Marine around.

All the space fighters of the chapter, under the leadership of their respective company commanders and senior officers, entered the transmission deck and the gunboat hangar to make the final preparations before jumping to the gang.

The mortal crew members around the bridge were shouting and communicating at their respective positions before leaning over to control the giant warship. The intensity of the space naval battle was transmitted to the bridge in some way.There are countless huge electronic screens around, on which strings of green runes slide down like waterfalls, constantly refreshing and scrolling, updating the battlefield information in real time. These strings of characters are reflected in Fu Qinghai's eyes, allowing him to clearly understand the battlefield situation.

The tense atmosphere did not affect him.

Fu Qinghai was holding his cheek with one hand, with a calm expression.

Once, during the sand table deduction of the short sword frigate, Wo Kuotai once told Fu Qinghai: As an excellent commander, he must learn to jump out of the local battlefield, and look at the overall situation of the battlefield from a higher, farther and more comprehensive perspective.

All kinds of bits and pieces of battlefield information flowed into his mind through various messy detection channels: a chaos warship suddenly stopped moving and stopped firing, and the Iron Buddha Terminator led by Joe Star may have occupied the bridge with its engines disabled; An Imperial Navy light cruiser collided with a Chaos Strike Cruiser, the two battleships lost control, and then crashed into the Hive World orbital defense facility before both crashing into the surface; the two Chaos battleships attempted to circle around the battle barge, one behind the other Flank attack, the distance is so close that the naked eye can see the close-in defense turrets and profane reliefs on the opponent's armored shell...

At this time, a message caught his attention.

From the Hive World Empire Defenders: Kurissatai Titan and the Unruly Lord Titan have forcibly landed on the surface of the planet and are attacking the No. [-] main hive city. The city defense has been broken, and the remnants of the Dawn Stars Titan Legion are going to support...

Attack the Hive City at this time?
Fu Qinghai didn't quite understand.

Why not wait for the outcome of the space sea battle?

If the space naval battle is won, the attack on the hive city can be supported by warships. If the space naval battle is lost, it will be meaningless for them to occupy the hive city—orbital bombing will kill them and the city.

A strike cruiser of the Iron Buddha Squadron, wandering around the periphery of the battlefield, ready to look for opportunities to join forces.They also sent a piece of information: they observed that the transport fleet of the Dark Mechanicus was delivering a large amount of supplies towards the surface of the planet.

What is this doing?

Fu Qinghai was even more puzzled.

"Another cruiser in the Navy has crashed!"

"We captured another enemy ship!"

Fierce and cruel space naval battles are still going on.

Good news and bad news keep coming.

Fu Qinghai was lost in thought.

Think about what the Dark Mechanicus wants to do.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through his mind.

Sid Nora once told him: At the end of the Battle of Iron Calamity, the Loyalist troops finally invaded the Forge World of Supreme Valia, but no sign of life was detected on the surface of the planet, as if it was a dead zone, only a bunch of distorted The remains of corrupted loyal titans stood up, and at the same time, the rebel forces gathered in the forge world disappeared without a trace...

The No. [-] main hive city, with a large population.

The Titan Legion of Daybreak Stars came to support.

Loyal to the Titan Legion, the elements are assembled.

A few key words echoed in Fu Qinghai's mind:

Rituals, massacres, sacrifices, teleportation...

"They want to run!"

Fu Qinghai suddenly stood up from his seat.

"What happened, Khan?"

People around were startled by Fu Qinghai's loud roar.

The Iron Warriors' Chaos Fleet is still fighting fiercely in space, but the Dark Mechanicus doesn't want to fight anymore, they want to leave here with the supplies they looted!

Fu Qinghai guessed boldly.

As I said before, Sid Nora needs a piece of evidence to prove her conjecture to Marshal Huxlow.

If the Dark Mechanicus successfully evacuates.

Then this is a clear evidence.

but……

Qingshan Khan will never allow them to evacuate!

"Zofia, come with me!"

Fu Qinghai ordered loudly, then grabbed the helmet on the table, strode down the bridge steps, and went straight to the teleportation deck, while continuing to give instructions:
"The transport fleet is approaching the planet's orbit."

"Prepare to release the 'Breaking Army Golden Armor'."

Fu Qinghai put on his helmet and stood on the teleportation platform.

Still continue to order in the communication channel:

"Immediately contact the defenders in the hive world and inform them that a loyal Titan Legion is about to go to Hive City No. [-] for support. They will use airborne delivery to mark my identification signal and remind the air defense forces not to shoot me down. "

"receive."

The mortal crew immediately made contact.

"Khan, they asked, how many large Titans and how many small Titans are there in this loyal Titan Legion?"

The mortal crew delivers the message faithfully.

"Reply to them: There is a Titan."

Fu Qinghai said lightly.

"A Titan!?"

In the airport of the hive world, the commander was stunned.

A Titan is also called Legion?
What can a Titan do?
"Humph."

On the teleportation platform, Fu Qinghai smiled.

He could imagine the expression on the other side.

I will tell you today.

what is...

One Man Army.
what is...

One-man army!
The teleportation platform flashed white.

Fu Qinghai's figure completely disappeared.

…………

　1. Oh, there is something I wrote wrong. In fact, in the siege of Terra, after the defeat of the rebels, the troops of the Emperor's Children and the Death Guard also left the solar system directly through the warp space rift, and did not go to the Mandeville point outside the solar system. , so the Ultramarines and the Dark Angels did not block them, allowing them to escape to the Eye of Terror, so the evacuation method of the Dark Mechanicus in the Battle of Iron Calamity is actually not the first, but there is no communication between the authors of the two novels, Steel The descriptions in the disaster, all kinds of "weird" and "unbelievable"... It's like the first time the imperial army faced this situation. In fact, the siege of Terra has already happened once.In terms of specific differences, the Emperor's Children and the Death Guard should have directly prayed for the help of Slaanesh and Nurgle, opening a way for them to escape from the solar system.
