Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Originally under the night sky full of twinkling stars, the wind suddenly picked up, and sand, dust and fine gravel swept the dry and cracked ground.

I saw that it was originally an empty river, but after all the combat troops heading for the underground network tunnel were brought here by Hades, they began to become "noisy" because the task force also began to attack this area. Gathered above the area and airdropped multiple ground armor units.

Coupled with the accompanying engineering team, using the non-combat power armor and derivative SCVs developed exclusively by their engineering department, as well as various "octopus" and "squid" engineering sentries, a military army was built in a very short period of time. The fortress is convenient for ground troops to station and defend better.

At first, some school-level military officers proposed to use the extermination order against Thanos to directly destroy the entire planet, and then complete the goal of destroying the Fallen Vulcan and the Salamander.

However, this proposal was unanimously rejected by Leon and Constantine, because they wanted to capture Vulkan alive, so that the imperial enterprise Umbrella could obtain a physical sample, and then prepare for the "manufacture" of another new Primarch.

Therefore, the task force deployed the armored units and lowered the altitude, preparing to provide artillery support for Lyon and Constantine.

Moreover, the aviation formation entering the atmosphere, in addition to the carrier-based aircraft responsible for attacking, bombing and destroying, also has the exclusive...

Centurion armor.

Since Constantine strictly followed his father's order and only brought more than a hundred brothers, the Centurion Mecha also "only" brought ten of them.

After being taken away by Hades and withdrawn from the surface, Constantine sent the ten brothers back to the Moonlight Goddess, completed the "link" and "wearing" of the centurion of the imperial army, and re-transmitted back to the surface, ready for battle.

now.

west of the fort.

In a position at the outermost edge, and equipped with 600mm caliber parallel Gauss guns...

"..."

Lin Hong unfolded his helmet and barely breathed through the thin air, frowning tightly, looking at the end of the distance.

Not long ago, the encounter in the underground network tunnel made him, who had undergone transformation surgery and became an auxiliary army, and also an absolutely elite soldier in the imperial military, feel the threat of death.

Why is the confrontation with the Chaos Salamander so terrifying...

In fact, regardless of whether the transformation operation was completed or not, Lin Hong's unit had conducted actual combat exercises with the reserve forces and the battalion headquarters of the army.

Even when becoming an auxiliary army that has not undergone transformation and followed the legion to the Zero Three Universe to fight against the Chaos Astartes, there is no such thing as Deanka (the main universe planet that was first invaded by the Chaos Astartes) In that way, experience death and isolation.

The main reason is that before the large-scale battle of the legion, the fleet will be asked to "wash the ground" once. If there are some human beings worth saving on the surface, the Astartes and hell paratroopers will be sent for airdrops.

When he and his ground troops landed in transport planes and transport boats, there were only a few lucky "little fish and shrimp" left, which could not pose any threat at all.

After becoming an auxiliary army, with a physique that surpassed ordinary people, Lin Hong and his comrades in arms also had "proud" no less than being an Astarte in their hearts.

But the pack of salamanders down there...

If it wasn't for Chief Kennedy, who was traveling with them, relying on his sixth sense, which is different from ordinary people, to judge that there is an ambush ahead of them, then it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out, and it is impossible for Hades to lead them out of the ground.

Not to mention the many losses, it also directly extinguished the arrogance and arrogance of these human beings who have already dominated everything and no longer have any threats.

"Hiss~huh~...!"

Sitting aside, Lumu, who also unfolded his helmet, was holding a half-cut cigar with Mars in his mouth. While inhaling and exhaling, he glanced at Lin Hong's slightly sad appearance. He looked around at the auxiliary army who followed Leon here, shook his head, and didn't say much.

As an elite of the older generation who has lived for more than two hundred years and can see everything clearly, he knows that the reason why human beings can grow to this point is inseparable from the awe of the Primarch, Astartes and the Human Emperor .

The overall strength of the Covenant Empire (Star Alliance) more than a hundred years ago, whether in terms of population, technology, territory, or productivity, was not comparable to that of UEG at the time, and the gap between the two sides reached an astonishing nine times. want more.

Looking at the data alone, it is like competing for a professional game with a winning rate of 1:9, and "you" are ready to lose because of belief or a certain feeling. 1" team.

Who would have thought that after waking up from sleep, they would actually win the game after seeing the results? !

At that time, in the eyes of most civilizations in the galaxy, the winning rate and odds of human beings facing the Covenant Empire were "1:9".

Even Lum, who was once the colonel of the Covenant Empire, looked down on humans at first.

But after fighting an Astartes battalion commander, Loum instantly understood that if human beings did not have Astartes and Primarchs, they would almost be "little lambs" to be slaughtered.

Today, even though the human empire has become a colossus, one of basic, civil and military technologies can rub a second-level civilization on the ground, but...

The Imperium of Man still has an Achilles' heel.

Most people may not be able to detect it, but Lum, who has wandered among many universes and wandered for a hundred years, clearly understands that once the human emperor Sui Bian falls, there is no need for the invasion and corruption of aliens or different spaces, and human beings are very likely to die. Due to the outbreak of the civil war, he directly withdrew from the stage of StarCraft.

It is precisely because of the existence of the human emperor that it deters the empire at home and abroad, so that the people of the empire can rest easy, and it also allows fighters and soldiers like Lin Hong to fight against the wind since the storm in the alien space.

Still "young", with too little experience.

Lum raised his hand to take down the cigar that was about to burn out, and flicked it hard, letting it hit the barrel of the parallel Gauss cannon, bursting out a little spark.

Immediately afterwards, Loum took the plasma rifle that their elites loved most, then got up and walked to the other end, and came to Leon, who was also wearing power armor and holding a commander Gauss rifle, and suggested:

"I don't know how many of those Chaos Astartes are left, if they make a few legionary charges...

I think it's better for us mortals to end the ground battle ahead of time, return to the fleet, and wait for support, otherwise we will only increase casualties if we stay here.

How is it, Kennedy? "

"..." Leon didn't reply immediately.

Emotionally, he never wanted to evacuate and give up his position easily.

Although Lyon is not a member of the military, he cannot accept retreating without a fight. This is not in line with the behavior of the human empire.

However, they were completely at a disadvantage to the salamanders who were possessed by demons, transformed by evil gods, and whose weapons were blessed.

And the enchanted bolt bombs were also improved by the different space, which greatly increased the chance of breaking the energy shield. Just after the first battle, many auxiliary troops were on the spot because of the failure of the energy shield.

The only ones who could fight the Salamander without losing the wind were the six sergeant majors, the imperial army brought by Constantine, more than a hundred gray knights, and Hades, the "advisor".

Think for a moment.

"Can't retreat." Leon shook his head lightly, still insisting on stationing here: "We have been here for a while, but the opponent hasn't directly attacked, it should be due to the psychology of our "mortal" troops.

Once you choose to retreat at this time, the opponent will definitely take the opportunity to attack, so the best choice is to remain unchanged and respond to changes. "

"Okay." Rum shrugged.

The retired major general has long been pessimistic about life and death. As for the proposal, he just hopes that more young people can live.

Everyone continued to wait.

Soon, Leon, Constantine and others also received information that the reinforcements had begun to assemble.

What's more exciting is that since the Emperor will provide the assistance of the psychic space gate, the reinforcements are expected to arrive in only fifteen to twenty minutes.

This news is enough to sweep away the previous haze.

However, at this moment, the Chaos side seemed to notice that the "mortals" in the fortress had no intention of retreating, so they finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to attack on their own initiative.

I saw a dazzling light mixed with pink and purple on the surface dozens of kilometers south of the fortress.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of light the size of a ping-pong ball quickly expanded to a portal with a diameter of more than twenty kilometers in just two or three seconds.

And then…

"Boom! Boom!!"

Accompanied by the "footsteps" of the earth shaking, one after another, the "Titan Mecha" with a height of nearly 60 meters, 80 meters and 100 meters, which was in the shape of a human being, but looked clumsy, walked out of the portal one by one. Come to the real universe and set foot on the arid surface of Thanosche.

Moreover, milky white bony spur tissue like ivory grows from the exoskeleton, armor, and cabin parts of these titans, which is also one of the signs of being deeply "blessed" by chaos.

At the same time, not only hundreds of Chaos Titans gushed out of the portal, but also hundreds of millions of demonic creatures, those demonic creatures with humanoid appearance, strong physique, and not random.

Of course, among such a large Chaos army, the "mainstay" of the Chaos side is indispensable——

Salamander.

At first glance, apart from armored units such as Titans and heavy tanks, the number of this Chaos Astartes army built by many evil gods has already exceeded one million.

! !

Through the long-distance assistance of the helmet screen, observing the chaotic army walking out of the different space, and then looking at the brief data provided in the upper right corner of the helmet screen, Leon's face was stunned and unbelievable apart from shock.

Titans and demons are okay, but more than a million Chaos Astartes...

Moreover, the combat strength and equipment are no less than the Chaos Astartes of the current imperial legion. In terms of spiritual power, with the blessing of chaos, it is even stronger than most imperial legions.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Leon instantly understood that after the storm in different space more than a hundred years ago, the fallen servants of God (Olympus) and demons took advantage of their psychic power and numbers to kill many Astartes of the main universe. , and dragged the bodies of these Astartes into a different space for research.

After that, a group of evil gods used the gene seeds of the Zero Three Empire, the manufacturing technology of Astartes, and their blasphemy technology to cultivate "super soldiers" exclusive to different spaces.

As for the sources of Tao Gangjia, Dreadnought Mecha, and a large number of weapons and equipment, Leon, who has been in charge of the Supervision Department, deduces that the evil gods use the new human empire of Universe 03 to accumulate their background, and at the same time, they do not forget to confuse other multiverses. Humans (reincarnations).

Thinking about it again, this is just the surface, maybe there are more chaotic Astartes hidden in the different space, Leon only feels his scalp tingling.

If it wasn't for his immediate boss, who asked him to form a task force to search for the tomb of the necromancers and accidentally discovered Asastie, then the different space might have bred more deformed creations...

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Boom~ whoosh!

Suddenly, the naval artillery strikes released by the fleet of matrix beams, Gauss spikes, and plasma artillery regiments streaked across the dusty night sky.

Afterwards, intensive naval artillery strikes immediately covered the area where the portal was located, and carried out saturation bombing, under the premise of ensuring that the planet would not be blown up and the friendly forces of the fortress would not be accidentally injured.

The flames and explosions produced also flashed instantly, drowning and devouring the army of chaos that had just stepped into the physical universe.

"Boom! Boom!!"

"Huh~!!"

What followed were deafening explosions and air waves.

Because the helmet was closed, when the shock wave mixed with gravel and fine sand swept towards the side of the fortress, Leon did not close his eyes slightly, but stared intently at the side of the portal.

really.

Before the aftermath and gunpowder smoke faded naturally, they were dissipated by a burst of pink-purple spiritual energy.

It turned out that it was the void shield released by the hundred Titans, which assisted the millions of salamanders and the army of chaos, and successfully resisted the artillery cover from the task force.

"Warriors!!"

At this time, the body swelled again. Vulcan, who was already about ten meters tall, stood at the forefront of the Chaos Wave, raised the hammer in his right hand, and used a voice that seemed to be able to spread words to the entire Thanos Che, saying :

"Today will be the starting point for us to overthrow the corrupt and ignorant empire! The gods are watching, chaos is blessing, there are still the heirs and minions of the false emperor ahead and in the sky, it's time for them to see the wrath of the fire dragon!

For humanity!

For chaos!

kill! ! "

When the roar fell, Volkan took the lead, leading the Salamander and countless demons towards the fortress where Leon and the others were.

And the demons with wings, or those that can directly fly in disregard of the rules of physics, rushed towards the task force in low-Earth orbit.

However, when Volkan was mobilizing before the war, the attacks of the fortress and the task force never stopped, and the Luna class once again carried out an "airdrop"...

It should be said to "throw" Assastie, which is huge, no less than two Paris-class frigates, out of the ship, and let it hit the portal and the army of chaos.

And this old ruler, after entering the atmosphere, deliberately showed an unhappy tone, and their special wave bands, to realize the "full channel" rebuke:

"Being easily fooled by the miscellaneous things of different spaces, it is really embarrassing, and now you dare to come to the physical universe? I will teach you a lesson for the respected lord!"

At this very moment, the psychic energy space gate released by Sui Bian was instantly generated at the track on the back side of Thanosche.
