From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 398
c388 Knight “Giant”
“Roar!”
In the blink of an eye, the fanatical nun swelled into a huge tumor. Her distorted face could no longer maintain her previous calmness, but howled in pain.
Trample, trample!
At this time, the four advance team members in the dark and the ten agents of the Inquisition responsible for security immediately stepped forward and pointed their guns at the nun with tumor.
The advance team members were equipped with nano combat suits, so they didn’t have to worry too much about whether the tumor would suddenly burst and explode, releasing the “corruption virus” from heaven.
The agents of the Inquisition also had individual equipment similar to the simplified version of the McP power armor, which could also ensure their safety.
In addition, the advance team members and agents also formed a “human wall” to isolate the nun with tumor and the people who were evacuating outside the church.
As for the Biological Department deployed at the “13” front-line base, they anticipated that the Church and Heaven might use “biochemical viruses” similar to the Black Holy Grail, so when the advance team and the agents of the Judgment Department took action, several technicians wearing special chemical protective suits also stepped forward.
Krontor, who was in the crowd, finally calmed down a lot when he saw the Empire’s quick response.
While he ran out of the church with his sister Carrie, he turned his head curiously and looked behind.
The technicians did not hold guns, but used various instruments to extract living tissue samples from the sarcoma nun and try to curb the trend of the sarcoma’s continuous expansion.
When he followed the crowd, took his sister out of the church, and came to the main entrance square, Krontor completely lost his vision inside the church.
And Krontor turned his head back-
!!! !
Boom, boom!
Then they saw two company guards holding giant shields and plasma rifles, walking past them with heavy steps, “blocking” the main entrance of the church.
And after confirming that all the people in the church had been evacuated, the two company guards bowed their heads and bent over to enter the church.
From Krontor’s perspective, he could only see the backs of the company guards, but could not see the nun who was swollen like a living tumor.
“Everyone, please pay attention!”
At this moment, the technicians who also belonged to the Biological Department used the radio to remind:
“Because the Imperial Church has suffered a biological attack from the Church, the Imperial Biological Department will block and isolate this place.
Please don’t panic, everyone present. Even if the Church and Heaven go crazy and want to retaliate against the Empire and everyone, the Empire will do its best to ensure your safety.
Please keep order and follow the Empire’s arrangements.”
?
After hearing the warning on the radio, Krontor looked around and found that more than a dozen white tents with red and white “Λ” logos had been set up in the huge church square, and fences with hard light beams had been set up on the edge.
More than a hundred Dark Angel auxiliary soldiers armed with hard light guns, and several tall Greek demi-gods equipped with heavy armor, also appeared in the church square at some point.
At the same time, the auxiliary soldiers and Greek demi-gods took over the responsibility of maintaining order on the scene, and were cooperating with many technicians and synthetic people from the biological department to lead local residents like them to the set up white tents.
After the “door-to-door registration” and “blood information collection” at the beginning of the month, Krontor immediately realized that the empire was going to screen and test them one by one to ensure whether they were affected by the “sarcoma”.
Even the fanatics who had left the church earlier were directly captured, tied up and “encapsulated” by the auxiliary soldiers, and escorted to a Pelican.
Of course, Krontor had no way of knowing that those captured guys were fanatics who deliberately wanted to harm border towns.
But Kronto also understood that the Empire would not “commit violence” without reason.
Presumably, the sudden situation in the church was inseparable from the group of captured guys.
“What happened to my brother? Why are you all so panicked?”
Carrie, who was very young physically and mentally, could not understand the current situation, so she had to hug Kronto’s right arm with both hands, fearing that she would be separated from her brother.
“Let’s just follow the crowd, it’s okay.”
Kronto freed his left hand and patted Carrie’s head.
“Okay.”
Carrie nodded slightly.
Next, the brother and sister followed the instructions of the auxiliary army and came to the tent on the east side.
The synthetic man holding a professional scanning device showed a kind expression on his face. He was about to calm the emotions of the brother and sister and prepare for a preliminary examination.
Ta! Ta Ta! !
Ri~咻——! !
A fierce gunfight suddenly broke out in the church.
The crisp gunshots of hard light guns and the energy release of plasma rifles instantly resounded in the center of the town.
The synth quickly put the scanner aside, stepped forward quickly, protected Krontor and Carrie, and immediately hid in the tent used for inspection and isolation.
Looking inside the church;
The fanatical nun who was willing to sacrifice herself and even “sacrifice” herself has expanded to a tumor with a diameter of seven meters.
As for why the advance team, the Inquisition agents and the company guards here opened fire, it was because the technicians had also completed the sample extraction and other work.
Secondly, the Inquisition agents who had fought against the fallen Greek gods and participated in the New Mombasa incident judged based on experience that the fanatical nun in front of them might be “summoning” the creatures of the heavenly plane through some kind of sacrificial ritual.
And without the reminder of the Judgment Department agents, the veteran advance team and the company guards who had been through hell were also prepared for the arrival of the “heavenly creatures” at any time.
Finally, when the fanatical nun expanded to a diameter of ten meters, she finally couldn’t bear it and collapsed from the inside out.
The smelly liquid splashed all over the church and also fell on the armor of the advance team, special attack and company guards.
The broken pieces of meat were broken everywhere.
However, in the center of the tumor, there was a “knight” of the same size squatting.
Even if it was in a half-squatting position, the two company guards could still see at a glance that its height was at least five meters.
It was even taller than their original body Leon, and its physique was also extremely strong. Its bright red armor was even more sophisticated, giving a sense of déjà vu of a work of art.
But the knight in front of everyone was only missing the “head”.
Without waiting for the knight to stand up, two company guards pulled the trigger and shot high-temperature plasma at its huge body.
The advance team and the agents of the Ministry of Justice also pulled the trigger and used hard light guns to suppress it with firepower.
Buzz~——Bang~——!
However, the plasma cannon and hard light beams were offset and bounced by a looming protective force field, making it impossible for everyone to actually attack the headless knight.
And the headless knight stood up slowly, and with his absolute height, “overlooking” the people who attacked him.
Seeing this.
The two company guards immediately put down their plasma rifles, drew out the power swords and chainswords hanging from their waists, took the initiative to step forward, and shouted in a metallic tone;
“All of you evacuate this place! It’s not something you can deal with!”
“Notify Athena and ask her to come to the rescue!”
As they spoke, the two guards arrived at the left and right sides of the headless knight, and swung the power swords and chainswords at the speed of producing afterimages and even sonic booms, slashing at his thighs.
Bang!
Boom!
But the headless knight swung the giant sword in his right hand at a faster speed and stronger force, seemingly casually, and directly “chopped off” the two guards.
It was chopped off in the physical sense.
The power sword filled with plasma force field and the chainsword with high-speed chain rotation were successively separated from their masters’ hands when they were slashed by the giant sword.
The two company guards also lost their balance, flew backwards uncontrollably, and smashed through the walls on both sides of the church.
! ! !
Seeing that the battle situation was one-sided.
The advance team and the agents of the Ministry of Inquisition naturally chose to retreat tactically and left the church quickly.
When they arrived at the square at the main entrance, the advance team and the agents of the Ministry of Inquisition had uploaded what they saw to the “13” front-line base.
Without much operation, after the communications officer of the front-line base received the individual camera and realized that even the two company guards could not compete with the headless knight, he would naturally report to Colonel John “Soap” McTavish and Captain Galan Clovis, who were in charge of the “13” universe.
And in order to lure the church to take the initiative to make trouble, Athena, who went to the Middle East to hunt down the remnants of demons and traitors, would also rush to this border town as soon as possible after receiving the notice.
Now, what they need to do is how to delay the headless knight and do their best to ensure the safety of civilians.
Towns can be rebuilt after being destroyed, but people cannot be reborn after they die.
Unless the Emperor himself descends to the “One-Three” universe and consumes divine power (psychic energy) to resurrect the dead people.
As an agent of the Inquisition, after knowing that the “One-Three” hell has planted pure flowers, he immediately judged that the “One-Three” hell will eventually become the property of the Emperor.
Then after the death of humans in the “One-Three” universe, their souls will go directly to heaven or hell.
As people under the rule of the human empire, they will definitely be rejected by heaven and imprisoned in the first layer of hell, the spirit layer, for the crime of “believing in other sects”.
So, in theory, the Emperor is absolutely capable of resurrecting the dead souls who go to the “One-Three” hell.
But if the Emperor really needs to come to clean up the “mess” for them, it proves the failure of many departments.
Besides, they only theoretically believe that the Emperor has the ability to resurrect humans who died in the “One-Three” universe and went to the “One-Three” hell.
They anticipated the crazy revenge of the church and secretly observed the fanatics’ every move.
At the same time, more than a hundred Greek demi-gods were deployed in this border town, in order to be able to resolve any threats as soon as possible.
Not only that, their plan to lure the church into revenge was approved by Captain Galan Clovis and even the Primarch of the Dark Angels, Leon.
If the church is too “crazy”, Leon will personally lead the main force of the Dark Angels to help.
At this stage, the “Glory Guard” directly under the Primarch has been deployed at the “One Three” front-line base.
But the Dullahan in front of them showed strength comparable to that of Satan, the Lord of Hell.
The first round of revenge by the church allowed “supernatural creatures” like the Dullahan to wreak havoc in the border town, which really exceeded their expectations.
However, a hundred Greek demi-gods, in conjunction with two company guards and the Dark Angels stationed in the town, should be able to compete with the Dullahan.
At all costs, they must ensure the safety of local people.
Church Square at this moment;
The residents immediately panicked when they found a headless knight who was five and a half meters tall, knocked down the main door of the church, and appeared in their field of vision.
The auxiliary army continued to perform the evacuation duties and protected the residents from this place.
The seven Greek minor gods present, holding shields and spears, approached the headless knight.
At this time, the two guards who were chopped out of the church by a sword also shook their heads which were a little dazed.
Then they quickly picked up their weapons, stood up and rushed to the back of the headless knight, and continued to launch the offensive fearlessly.
“Die!”
“Scum!”
And perhaps out of anger, they also let out a metallic roar.
Seeing the two company guards launching an attack, the seven Greek minor gods also maintained their formation and strangled.
In addition to using the shield to compress the activity space of the headless knight, they also stabbed the “mass-produced” spears made by the emperor himself.
Dong, Dong——!
Zheng~——Clang——! ! !
In an instant, a group of giants started fighting on the square.
And ordinary humans can’t observe the movements of these giants with their naked eyes, they can only hear the sound of metal colliding.
“Brother! Brother! That guy seems to be staring at us!”
Carrie, who was dragged away by Krontor, seemed to sense something and immediately reminded her brother and the people around her.
?
Hearing this.
Krontor and some residents turned their heads to look.
Although they couldn’t see the movements of the group of giants, they could still observe the appearance of the headless knight who was huge and had obvious targets.
Since there was no head, where did the sight come from?
Then, the residents continued to focus on following the auxiliary army to escape from here.
Boom——!
But there was a violent shock.
Whoosh——!
Coupled with the looming air wave impact, all residents couldn’t keep their balance and fell to the ground one after another, including the auxiliary army with power armor, and the advance team and the agents of the Ministry of Justice who were also responsible for evacuating the crowd.
Boom, boom——!
When Krontor, Carrie and the others tried to get up, they saw the Dullahan walking towards them.
As for the two company guards who were responsible for delaying the Dullahan, and the seven Greek minor gods, they were all seriously injured and fell to the ground.
“Brother! I said it seemed to be staring at us!” Carrie said hurriedly.
“.” Krontor didn’t have the time to argue with his sister.
He got up and used all his strength to pick up Carrie, trying to escape from the Dullahan.
Boom——Boom————!!!
However, when he was in despair, another “giant” with a height of five meters appeared on the square.
