From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 386

c376 Grey Knights Captain

At this time.

The fleet composed of Carthage, Heroic, Paris and Feddes class ships dispatched a “overwhelming” number of transport boats and carrier-based aircraft to the ground.

After leaving the hangar with plasma valves, thousands of white-legged falcons and ghost fighters, as well as a large number of unmanned fighters and unmanned bombers, formed an attack formation and began to quickly sail to the east of the bloody wall.

Swish~ Swish——!

Boom. Boom——! !

The attack formation quickly approached Jerusalem, while launching metal hydrogen missiles with tactical equivalents at the corrupt fortifications and giant creatures on the surface that were threatening.

In an instant, countless miniature suns suddenly appeared on the evil land at the rear end of the bloody wall.

Then came the extremely high temperature shock wave, sweeping the traitors, heretics and hell creatures living in the fallen city.

Of course, the bombing of the attack formation is likely to accidentally injure and kill the imprisoned Knights of the Knights and Church nuns.

But the pilots would not consider such “friendly casualties”. They were only responsible for flying and clearing the way for the subsequent ground troops.

As for the Hell Paratroopers who originally needed to take the airdrop pod for airborne landing, they now had to “honestly” follow the main force of the 1st Company and take various transport boats to approach Jerusalem and the Gate of Hell.

If you look down from the air;

The air formation that set sail from the “13” front-line base has already carried the elite guards, Greek demigods and gray knights, landing on the east side of hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Holy Roman Empire.

And before the transport boat stopped, the tail or front hatch of the cabin was opened, allowing the combat troops to quickly leave the cabin and deploy to the battlefield.

The elite guards wearing MacP power armor, the Greek demigods with customized armor, and the gray knights with a set of holy shield terminators per person, appeared on the battlefield and launched a devastating fire suppression on the remaining heretics, traitors and hell creatures around them.

It is true that live ammunition weapons have little effect on the Hell side, but the various weapons of the Human Empire have a larger caliber than those in the ordinary universe, which is enough to tear the Hell side’s troops into dregs.

Moreover, the Greek demi-gods and Grey Knights, who total 800 people, are purely professional counterparts against the “subspace-like” threat of Hell.

The “exorcism” bolt bullets containing Hera’s spiritual energy are much stronger than the “holy water bullets” used by the Holy Roman Empire in terms of caliber and purification effect.

I saw a Grey Knight who rushed out of the cabin first than the other brothers, and when he stepped on the cracked and corrupted surface, he charged at a group of fallen knights who had not yet reacted.

Moreover, this Grey Knight wearing the Holy Shield Terminator is nearly three meters tall, but he is agile and fast.

While charging forward quickly, the Grey Knight pointed the muzzle of the parallel bolt gun attached to the left arm armor at the group of fallen knights.

Bang! Clang! !

Puff–Puff!

Accompanied by the crisp and pleasant sound of large-caliber gunfire, the fallen knights were shattered and torn apart by the psychic explosive arrows one after another.

The smelly blood mist immediately filled the area where the fallen knights were.

? !

“Fight back!”

“Kill that scum!”

“Ah!!”

At this time, this group of corrupted knights who chose to fall to the plane of hell because they could not stand the hypocrisy of God and heaven, shouted and fought back.

They were no longer confused and entangled, and now they were fighting for their own lives.

The fallen knights either raised their large-caliber guns and pulled the trigger at the gray knight whose speed was so fast that it produced afterimages, or raised their giant swords and shields emitting scarlet light, ready to encircle and suppress the “poor creatures” who “overestimated their own strength” and dared to charge at them alone.

However, when they pulled the trigger, they realized that the facts were not as they imagined.

They were beyond the flesh and blood, and more powerful than ordinary knights, but they could not accurately lock onto the Grey Knights who were running fast? ? ! !

It was okay that the Grey Knights had a speed that did not match their appearance, but the Grey Knights could easily dodge bullets.

The Fallen Knights who were responsible for point-and-shoot and continuous shooting from a distance could not cause any substantial damage to the Grey Knights even if they aimed their guns at the Grey Knights or even predicted the Grey Knights’ next steps in advance.

Buzz~! Buzz——!

A few large-caliber bullets with filthy and corrupt smells, even if they successfully hit the Grey Knights, would still be blocked and separated by the looming golden light.

This.

How to fight this?

They can understand energy shields and protective barriers.

After all, some hell creatures have protective barriers, and even the higher-ranking cultists in the Dark Church will use the power from hell to release protective positions, or carry out some kind of “spell” attacks.

But what they couldn’t understand was why the clumsy-looking big guy could actually catch the trajectory of the bullet and react in time to dodge.

The fallen knights, holding giant swords and shields, were ready to fight with fewer people, but before they even got close.

Puff! Puff!

Half of them were shattered by the parallel bolter of the Grey Knight.

These fallen knights who wanted to engage in close combat continued to approach regardless of casualties, calculating that the Grey Knight was about to run out of magazines.

According to the capacity of the magazines they used, the Grey Knights would have to replace new magazines.

At that time, it would be the best window for them to rush forward.

Since the Grey Knights’ guns and armor are more advanced and sophisticated than theirs, and their reaction speed can also dodge bullets, then they can rely on the advantage of numbers in close combat to besiege and strangle them.

They are also extremely powerful beings, and I don’t believe that they can’t kill an enemy.

Otherwise, they abandoned their faith and betrayed mankind, and then obtained more powerful power from hell. What exactly are they trying to do?

Clang clang clang!

But unfortunately, their calculations and assumptions are not valid at all, and the parallel bolter is still pouring psychic bolt bullets at them.

Because the parallel bolter attached to the Grey Knight’s left arm armor uses a belt to feed ammunition, and there is no need to change the magazine.

When the Grey Knight and the Fallen Knight holding a giant sword and a war shield started a close combat, there were only four “pitiful” ones left on the Fallen Knight’s side.

And the momentum of these four Fallen Knights was almost exhausted before they approached the Grey Knight.

One more against one, and it still ended up like this.

If they fight in close combat, can they do it?

However, after a brief confusion and entanglement, the four Fallen Knights regained their spirits, wielding their respective giant swords and slashing at the Grey Knight.

“Heh, traitor.”

But the Grey Knight casually responded to the Fallen Knight with a metallic tone, and swung the power halberd tightly held in his right hand at a faster speed.

Buzz~——Sizzle——!

The sharp halberd blade with golden psychic lightning easily completed the “harvest” of the head.

“No——!”

“Ah——!”

When the necks of the four Fallen Knights were cut open by the halberd blade, their heads separated from their necks, as well as their bodies with flesh and armor stuck together, were burned by golden flames one after another.

The severe pain that stung the depths of their souls made them howl miserably.

“Scum.”

The Grey Knight raised his right hand and shook the power halberd with disgust.

It seems that the use of exclusive weapons to kill the Fallen Knight made him feel very unhappy and disgusted.

The power halberds, power swords, and power spears used by the Grey Knights are powered by the Holy Shield Terminator, and then the Grey Knights’ psychic energy creates a psychic stance with special attacks on the Warp creatures.

This makes each Grey Knight’s melee weapon a special item carefully crafted by the dwarf craftsmen of the Inquisition.

During non-combat periods, they need to maintain their armor and weapons frequently.

Some Grey Knights with higher psychic potential can also sense that under the influence of their pure psychic energy, their armor and weapons also have “thoughts”.

Of course, their psychic energy comes directly from Emperor Sui Yang, so the armor and weapons have “thoughts”, not the corruption of the Warp.

However, if you look deeper, their Emperor father seems to be able to use pure psychic energy to corrupt

To be precise, it is the effect of “assimilation”.

Especially the residents living around the Imperial Palace, they worship their father the Emperor as the “only true God”. Even if they are ordered to hang themselves or mutilate themselves one day, the residents will be willing to execute them.

But the Grey Knights know their father and it is impossible for him to issue such an order.

As for the Grey Knight in front of him, the direct reason why he is unhappy with the Fallen Knights is that they betrayed humanity and were willing to act as running dogs of hell, enjoying the twisted pleasure of persecuting and killing their compatriots.

After single-handedly dealing with more than a hundred Fallen Knights, the Grey Knight continued to speed up and advance towards Jerusalem in the east.

Looking around the entire battlefield;

The four hundred Grey Knights are all powerful, and at the same time, they are also the “spearhead” at the forefront of all the troops.

Although after the fleet’s bombardment, only one tenth of the army deployed by the Hell side survived, but it was still at least a million in size.

The Grey Knights and the Greek demigods, as well as Athena who maintained the “colossus”, led the main force this time and marched forward with great momentum.

Moreover, the fleet of the 1st Company of the Dark Angels also maintained a steady speed, either providing firepower support for the main ground forces, or acting as a mobile logistics supply station, continuously providing ammunition, supplies, etc.

John “Soap” McTavish, who was already a colonel, personally led a vanguard of 100 people wearing nano combat uniforms, following Athena and other “people” who were at the forefront, and investigating and searching for samples with recycling value.

The auxiliary army, clones, terminators and hunters belonging to the 1st Company of the Dark Angels, together with the elite guards of the “13” front-line base, constituted the main force of this operation.

The 1st Company has a total of 1,200 adult Astartes

This has long exceeded the company size of ordinary military organizations.

But the legion has its own organization and rank system, which is not common to ordinary imperial organizations.

The 1st Company of the Dark Angels has six combat platoons.

The 1st Battle Platoon is the commander’s command platoon, and is also responsible for dealing with high-threat targets that other battle platoons cannot solve.

After all, the members of the command platoon are all elites of the company, and some of them are “company champions” who have the ability to fight alone and overpower the entire company.

Astartes from different legions have different customs and styles.

But most legions have something in common, which is “to figure out whether I am stronger or my brothers are stronger.”

During the rest period, members of the legion company will have a “friendly” confrontation in the training ground inside the company flagship.

So the position of company champion appeared naturally without the need for the Primarch and the Emperor to arrange it.

Secondly, the 2nd to 4th assault platoons are responsible for frontal assaults and are also the main components of the entire company.

The assault platoons include veterans who participated in major battles in the “Halo” universe in their youth, as well as “new recruits” who have just completed transformation surgery.

The 5th and 6th battle platoons are responsible for support, medical care, logistics and other matters. They usually do not appear on the battlefield for the first time, and the number of people is relatively small.

There are also unique positions in the 5th and 6th battle platoons, such as the “pharmacist” who is responsible for performing surgery on Astartes, and the “technical sergeant” who is responsible for cooperating with the logistics and ground staff of the auxiliary army and checking the Astartes’ exclusive vehicles and weapons and ammunition.

And the drivers and pilots who drive the Astartes’ exclusive vehicles are also the responsibility of adult Astartes.

Veterans, recruits, champions, pharmacists and technical sergeants have jointly built the current Dark Angels’ 1st Company.

At this stage, the captain of the 1st Company of the Dark Angels has sent the 2nd to 4th assault platoons, as well as half of the 5th and 6th support platoons to the surface, and together with the main force, they are advancing towards Jerusalem, the gate of hell.

But the captain and his command platoon are still staying in their company flagship.

At this moment, on the bridge of the Carthage-class aircraft carrier;

“Captain, the ground forces are advancing steadily. At the current speed, it is expected to reach the periphery of the target area in three hours.”

“The medical team of our auxiliary army has sent corresponding medical soldiers to contact the elite troops of the Holy Roman Empire and is ready to provide assistance to the seriously injured patients of the other side.”

In the extremely spacious bridge, the crew members selected by the auxiliary army sat in front of their respective control consoles and made oral reports.

The overall style of the bridge is like being in the hall of a knight’s temple.

The metal deck is paved with gorgeous floor tiles, surrounded by towering stone pillars, and the observation window at the front of the bridge has a very wide field of view, which can see the situation of the ground battle.

As for the captain of the 1st Dark Angels Company, he was wearing a Hades Terminator, with his hands crossed in front of his chest armor, and frowning as he watched the progress of the battle through the holographic screen and holographic data.

Moreover, the real name of this captain was Galan Clovis, who came from the universe of “Doom (movie)”.

The reason why Galan frowned was that he was surprised at the efficiency of the Grey Knights in destroying the enemy.

According to this trend, the main merits of the “Trench Crusaders” universe will be “taken away” by the Inquisition.

Therefore, he was considering whether to lead the command platoon and rush directly to the gate of hell a hundred kilometers away.
