From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 383

c373 Knight Termination Teleport Main Force

In the underground hangar of the “13” forward base;

Various transport boats, attack boats and aerial gunships are ready.

Ground crews wearing engineering mechas or engineering mechanical skeletons, assisted by T-800 Terminators, conducted final inspections of all vehicles.

Four thousand elite guards belonging to the joint reconnaissance force, also wearing McP Power Armor and holding hard-light firearms, entered the cabin of the transport boat one after another to stand by.

At the same time, Athena, who was holding the Spear of Victory and wearing golden armor, and more than four hundred Greek minor gods also entered the corresponding transport boats.

The most eye-catching combat unit is undoubtedly the “alternative” Astartes, which also number 400 and have an average height of more than 2.8 meters and close to 3 meters –

Gray Knight.

The power armor of this group of Gray Knights is shaped like heavy knights in the Middle Ages, and is much thicker than the titanium power armor usually equipped by Astartes.

And this is the Holy Shield Terminator Power Armor “tailor-made” by the Scientific Research Department for the Gray Knights.

The Atlas Research Department, which has been classified as an “imperial state-owned enterprise”, started the project of Terminator power armor when it was developing titanium-type power armor.

After Atlas successfully integrated Terraira, numbered “Zero Seven”, the Scientific Research Department recruited a large number of dwarven craftsmen and used dwarven steel, which is stronger and more resilient than titanium alloy, to create the End. Type power armor.

After several years of research, the Scientific Research Department has produced a variety of models, such as the Iron Cavalry Type, Hades Type, Unyielding Type, etc.

The cost of these models of Terminators is equivalent to ten or even ten sets of Titanium IV power armor, making them extremely expensive equipment.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Human Empire to provide Terminators to each legion “for free”.

The original bodies of each legion will submit orders for various types of Terminators to the Mars Foundry in the main universe, so that the elite troops of their legions can exert stronger combat effectiveness.

Usually, it is the company captain, company champion, or the Honor Guard directly under the original body who will be equipped with the expensive Terminator power armor.

As for the four thousand Gray Knights who are subordinate to the Heretic Inquisition but only obey the Emperor of Mankind, they are all equipped with Holy Shield Terminators.

Moreover, the Holy Shield-type external armor is forged from rare mithril.

The four hundred Gray Knights in the underground hangar have Chinese inscriptions engraved on their external armor, and some of the Gray Knights have paper “Human Codex” hanging on their shoulder armor.

If you observe carefully, those paper “Human Codex” actually exude a faint golden light.

The weapons of these four hundred Gray Knights are the parallel bolt gun set on the arm armor of the left arm, and the exclusive power spear, power halberd, or power hammer held in the right hand.

They also need to take the Astartes’ exclusive Thunder transport aircraft to accompany the main force composed of the Joint Reconnaissance Force and the Inquisition Department, deep into the territory of hell shrouded in thick clouds, until they reach the gate of hell located in Jerusalem.

However, according to the final form of all Terminator models, “instantaneous teleportation” is actually possible.

That is to say, by marking a coordinate, the elites wearing Terminators can complete short-distance instantaneous movement.

The Scientific Research Department has tried to improve and miniaturize the Ark teleportation device.

It is really difficult to ensure the stability of the miniaturized Ark transmission device.

When D and other personnel were used to conduct miniaturized Ark teleportation experiments, most of the D and other personnel’s bodies either lost their arms or legs after completing the teleportation, or half of their bodies were teleported to an unknown location.

If the Astartes were allowed to teleport.

Then the cost of non-combat losses is not something that the Legion and the original body can afford.

In the end, the miniaturized Ark transmission device was completely abandoned by the Scientific Research Department and permanently sealed.

Therefore, the Scientific Research Department could only wait for Dr. Catherine Halsey to reverse engineer the Forerunners’ technology and prepare to directly adopt the Forerunners’ short-distance instantaneous transmission technology.

In this way, both security and stability will be guaranteed.

The Holy Shield Terminator of the Gray Knights is also a “semi-finished product” without a short-distance teleportation device, so it must take a Thunder transport boat to act together with the main force.

As for the absolute main force in the attack on the Gate of Hell, the 1st Company of the Dark Angels, all members were deployed in the company fleet in low-Earth orbit.

The fleet of the Dark Angels 1st Company is composed of a Carthage-class super aircraft carrier, two Valiant-class super-heavy cruisers, six Paris-class and 12 Fidus-class frigates, and a Phoenix-class support boat .

Excluding the nearly a thousand adult Dark Angels, the total number of auxiliary troops, crew members, engineering and maintenance personnel, ground crew and logistics personnel of the 1st Company reached two hundred thousand.

Including mindless biological weapons such as Terminators, Predators, and Clones, the scale is approximately between 250,000 and 300,000.

After all, the first company of each legion represents the “face” and combat power of the legion.

What’s more, Leon seems to be indifferent to all affairs on the surface, but in fact, Leon is very willing to treat his “heir”.

Before the establishment of the empire, Leon used various “reasonable and compliant” means to obtain more benefits for the Dark Angels.

As for the 1st Company of the Dark Angels, after the main force of the frontline base rides on various transport vehicles and penetrates deep into the territory of hell, the fleet will lower its altitude until it descends into the atmosphere to accompany them in the battle.

It is mainly the clouds covering the territory of Hell, which have a similar isolation effect to psychic energy.

Ordinary communication, detection and scanning methods will be ineffective.

Therefore, in order to provide fire support as soon as possible, the company fleet chose to descend into the atmosphere.

At this moment.

Almost all the ground troops boarded the transport vehicles, and Serin, wearing a one-piece combat uniform and a masked helmet, also entered a thunder transport boat under the escort of two gray knights.

When everything is ready.

All ground crews evacuated the parking spaces in the hangar and raised their hands to signal the pilots in the cockpit.

Then, the top gates of the underground hangar were opened one after another.

Soon, the pilots in the cockpit could observe the turbid sky outside the hangar through visual vision.

Seeing this scene.

The pilots immediately controlled their respective vehicles, left the parking spaces, and came to the outside world through the opened gates.

After hundreds of transport boats, attack boats and aerial gunboats formed a flight formation that was truly like covering the sky and the sun, they began to head southeast towards Jerusalem.

The pilots sitting in the cockpit could also see that the area where the front-line base was located had been comprehensively improved and transformed by the Pure Flower.

The area near the front-line base was no longer lifeless and filled with poisonous fog, but a large amount of green vegetation appeared.

Even the air near the front-line base allowed ordinary people to carry out daily work and life without wearing filter masks.

The elite guards and staff stationed at the base saw the large-scale flight formation moving away, and they waved their arms, blessing their fellow comrades who were about to join the war.

After a while.

The flight formation sank into the turbid clouds, and the pilots could no longer observe the front-line base behind them through visual vision.

Seeing this, the pilots immediately used their helmet screens to control the flight of their respective vehicles.

“Everyone, please pay attention. This is Colonel McTavish.”

At this time, Soap’s order sounded on the communication channel of all personnel, and it was heard:

“It is now 16:36 on October 9th, local time. The 13th Front Base officially launched a general attack on the hell forces in this universe.

According to known intelligence, local sovereign states such as the Holy Roman Empire and the Tsarist Empire have organized a large number of troops to fight against the hell forces in early October.

In addition, because our human empire occupied many frontier towns that were raided and besieged by the hell forces, and also captured a large number of knights and church nuns.

Therefore, the investigators who infiltrated the Holy Roman Empire showed that the Holy Roman Empire had great hostility to us, but it was only because the hell forces suddenly launched a full-scale attack that they failed to engage in a confrontation with us and tried to recapture the lost The border town controlled by us. ”

Soupauses at this point, then emphasizes his tone and continues:

“The purpose of our human empire is people-oriented, but in this general offensive mission, if we encounter local human troops that have also penetrated deep into the hell territory, and the local human troops attack us.

Each unit has the right to open fire and counterattack freely.

After all, the top leaders of the local universe have long been controlled by God and heaven, and our human empire will sooner or later purge them.

Finally, I wish the guys who participated in this general offensive a perfect demon hunting experience! Military merits and rewards are waiting for us!

For the empire!

For the emperor!”

“For the empire!”

“For the emperor!”

Instantly, the war cries of various units resounded on the communication channel.

At this time, the flight formation had already flown a hundred kilometers away.

Silin, sitting in the cabin of the Thunder Transport, looked down and observed the various conditions of the surface of the hell territory through her electronic eyes and the monitor of the transport.

It can’t be said to be various conditions.

It should be quite simple and “lifeless”.

There is no green vegetation at all, only the poisonous fog that permeates the surface.

The turbid sky blocks the sun’s rays, making the surface temperature of the hell territory low, and it is difficult for ordinary creatures to survive in such an extreme environment.

But——

? ?

But Serin actually found that there was a town with a “smoke atmosphere” about 20 kilometers northwest of the flight formation?

As soon as she found the town, Serin used the monitor of the Thunder Transport to focus on it.

Almost all the “human” residents living in the town had serious deformations.

Either their faces became more ugly and grew a large number of asymmetrical eyeballs, or their skin was ulcerated and their arms were replaced by bone spurs.

There was even a giant of the Knights, parked in the center of the town.

But the giant with a church, an auditorium and a dormitory, with a super-giant track chassis, grew bloody bone spurs, as well as a large number of human bones and flesh.

This shows that the Knights living and stationed here have “abandoned the light and joined the dark”, either voluntarily or forced to join the hell.

In short, the whole town is full of corrupt and degenerate guys.

So after confirming that there is no exploration value in that town, Serin directly marked it on the thumbnail map of all pilots.

The next moment——

Shua~——！ ！

A Vulture aerial gunboat responsible for the escort mission launched a metal hydrogen missile with tactical equivalent at the town.

Then

Ri~——咻——! !

An extremely dazzling miniature sun was generated “out of thin air” in the center of the town and directly engulfed the entire town.

The miniature sun is fleeting.

Then, shock waves and mushroom clouds began to quickly sweep around.

The extremely high temperature and extremely high energy power briefly physically purified the area.

Boom——! ! !

When the deafening explosion sounded, the aftermath began to gradually dissipate.

As for all the turbid things in that town, they also dissipated with the aftermath.

The flight formation continued towards Jerusalem.

Along the way, dozens of corrupted towns and cities were destroyed and razed, just like a normal person stepping on a few bedbugs while walking on the roadside.

There is no way, even if there are hell and heaven in the universe of “Trench Crusaders”, and there are monsters and monsters wreaking havoc, it is still a “low-end civilization” that has not left the earth.

As for the human empire, which can use nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs as individual soldiers, it would only take a matter of minutes to destroy the Earth in “Trench Crusaders”.

The reason why we have not launched a general attack on the Gate of Hell until now is for “preaching”.

After the First and Third Frontline Bases occupied several border towns, they freed up a large amount of manpower and material resources in order to keep local residents well-fed and clothed in the shortest possible time without having to work hard for basic survival.

In addition, Athena, Gray Knights and Greek minor gods will frequently appear in the sight of local residents, and personally teach local residents how to adapt to life under the human empire, and will also help allocate jobs to local residents, etc.

In just one month, almost all the local residents in the border towns gave up their belief and fear in God and heaven, and became “devout believers” in the Emperor of Mankind and the “Human Code”.

After all, no matter how knowledgeable or educated the local residents are, they can still tell who is keeping them fed and well fed, and who also provides reasonable jobs so that they can continue to earn equally reasonable wages for themselves and their families with their own hands.

The most important thing is that those border towns have gradually entered the modernization stage as the engineering teams started the “infrastructure mania”.

Basic supplies such as electricity and water are absolutely guaranteed, and even every household is equipped with old-fashioned TVs. As for the Internet, it will take some time before it can be fully popularized.

The Human Empire provides televisions to the residents of border towns at extremely low prices so that they can “see with their own eyes” the “feat” of the Dark Angels and the Inquisition to wipe out the army of hell.
