From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 430
c419 Iron-blooded fierce battle
Gah.Gah.
The strange sound was low and hoarse, like the breathing of some creature.
Logan was immediately alert, realizing that there was a non-human being who had sneaked into the Weyland Tangu Building at some point and was observing him in the dark.
The moment he felt the change, he stopped the action of jumping out and turned to look in the direction of the sound source.
At the same time, the pulse scan of the Terminator power armor also automatically sent feedback, and the slightly reduced radar in the upper left corner of the helmet screen showed a red “●” dot, indicating that it was not a friendly force.
And without the various visual aids of the helmet screen, Logan saw a “figure” hiding in the corner on his left hand side.
Seeing this, Logan immediately realized that the opponent’s individual equipment had optical camouflage technology and was waiting for an opportunity to move in the dark.
He quickly raised the parallel bolt gun attached to the arm armor on his left arm, and pointed the muzzle directly at the blurred “figure”.
However, he did not open fire directly, but instead used a metallic tone to shout:
“What a sneaky bastard, either surrender or die, choose one!”
The shout and the alarm intertwined and echoed in the corridor.
? !
The “figure” obviously did not expect that he was discovered by Logan, and suddenly felt panic.
Ri~——咻——!
Then, “he” did not hesitate to fire a group of plasma artillery with flashing blue light from his left shoulder, and made it rush towards Logan quickly.
“Wow? Interesting.”
Logan couldn’t help but let out a slight surprise, but he also stepped back effortlessly and easily dodged the opponent’s attack.
Although he could choose to use the Terminator’s energy shield to resist, Logan was not sure about the true power of the opponent’s plasma artillery for the time being, and there was no need to damage the armor given to him by the original body.
Clang clang clang!
While avoiding the plasma artillery, Logan quickly launched a counterattack.
.
The 75cal standard bolt bullet accelerated the moment it was released from the barrel, heading straight for the “figure” who was over two meters tall and sturdy.
Boom~Boom~Boom~!
The bolt bullets hit the target one after another, and with a low roar, it indicated that the “figure” had suffered a severe blow.
The low-intensity explosion caused by the bolt bullet caused scattered fragments and sparks to bloom in the air.
“Roar————!!!”
The “figure” was obviously severely injured, and it let out an extremely creepy beast-like roar, which was loud and desperate, as if announcing its anger and pain.
Hiss.~Plop!
Then, accompanied by a burst of electronic sound effects, the creature that was forced to remove the optical camouflage fell heavily to the floor of the building.
Logan watched this scene, and his vigilance gradually dissipated.
Until he confirmed that the other party had no combat ability, he put down his left arm, stepped forward, and walked to the side of the guy.
After a close observation, Logan found that although the creature in front of him had a human-like torso and limbs, its skin was a leather-like earthy yellow, and the mottled black spots on it made it look extremely strange.
The most eye-catching thing was its dreadlock-like hair.
In addition, the opponent was equipped with armor of unknown materials, a metal helmet covering the face, a combat uniform like stockings, and a small-caliber plasma cannon on the left shoulder.
And the opponent’s armor was also the main reason why “he” or its body remained intact.
There was a huge gap in the abdomen without armor protection, and blood was dripping.
The right arm, right leg, and the entire right half of the body were shattered by the explosive arrows, and the flesh was bloody.
At this time, the humanoid creature in front of Logan was already in tatters.
Fluorescent green blood was slowly flowing on the floor, soaking Logan’s feet, and with the violent ups and downs of the chest, it showed that the humanoid creature in front of him was on the verge of death and dying.
In such a situation, Logan showed no mercy.
He half-squatted and reached out to forcibly take off the other’s helmet, wanting to see his true appearance.
As the helmet fell off, the other’s face was finally exposed to the air.
“Hey, you bastard are so ugly.”
After seeing the other’s appearance clearly, Logan couldn’t help but tease.
His face was indeed as Logan said. If it was judged by human aesthetic standards, it was simply ugly to the point of being outrageous.
His face was hideous, and the four claws in his mouth were similar to crab legs, fierce and twisted. There were also spikes on his cheeks and forehead, making his appearance particularly terrifying.
And Logan, who had experienced many wars, especially the cosmic integration war in “Gears of War”, saw through the true identity of this creature at a glance.
This was by no means a genetically modified human soldier, but a pure alien race.
In fact, the guy in front of him, who was regarded as an ugly alien by Logan, was one of the most classic “screen monsters” –
Predator.
The “parallel universe” where the Predator is located involves many things. It first appeared on the screen in “Predator” shot by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The production team and screenwriter originally intended to give the name of the Predator to the protagonist Major Dutch played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
However, as the story develops, this alien hunter quickly wins the hearts of the audience with his hunting instincts and extraordinary fighting skills, becoming the real focus of the film.
The charm of this character lies in its unique appearance design, combined with a fierce fighting style, making it an iconic existence in science fiction and action movies.
The Predator is not only visually stunning, but its complex cultural background and hunting habits make this character full of mystery.
Over time, people have directly called this alien race the Predator.
The subsequent release of the comics, games and movies of the “Alien vs. Predator” series has given the Predator name “official support”.
And as long as it is a work related to the alien, the Predator will have a high probability of appearing.
The Intelligence Department, which obtained information about the “Alien” universe from Sui Yang, naturally told Logan Sigurd and his 14th Company of Wild Wolves about the Predator, Engineer and other alien races.
The Intelligence Department also specifically mentioned that the Predator race is not unified internally.
There are fierce conflicts between the various clans, and even develop to the point of no end. This division also makes the Predator’s behavior and attitude towards humans different.
Some clans maintain a relatively neutral attitude towards humans, choosing to wait and see without taking the initiative to contact, or even not participating in hunting activities.
If the Iron-blooded Warriors of these clans respect a human soldier who fights desperately from the bottom of their hearts, they are very likely to provide assistance and fight together.
These clans regard the honor of the warriors as everything.
Moreover, once they regard human soldiers as friends and comrades, the Iron-blooded Warriors of these clans will also fulfill their duties as friends and comrades, and it is almost impossible for them to betray.
In contrast, other clans regard humans as prey and frequently go to Earth and its colonies to carry out their proud hunting activities.
This hunting behavior not only reflects their desire for power, but also highlights the deep-rooted sense of superiority in their racial culture.
For Logan and his troops, understanding these complex racial relationships is one of the integrated actions.
Because this will directly affect their strategies and responses in future battles, so as not to misjudge the enemy-friend relationship and attract more enemies to the human empire.
And at this moment.
Through the behavioral characteristics and appearance of the other party, Logan has realized that the Iron-blooded Warrior who was knocked down by him and was on the verge of death is the alien race mentioned by the Intelligence Department.
But he still couldn’t tell from the other side’s attack whether the other clan was really hostile to humans, or whether they regarded humans as prey for their fun.
After all, it was not surprising that the Iron Blood Warrior used plasma shoulder cannons to attack in panic. This was probably a reaction of survival instinct.
However, no matter what the attitude of the other clan was, he had already killed the Iron Blood Warrior in front of him.
When Logan was about to open the communication and notify the various departments, the Iron Blood Warrior in front of him had completely died.
Then, he uploaded the video shot on the helmet screen to the Deep Autumn-class flagship and ordered:
“Send a team of technicians to the location I marked to recover the body of this alien species.
At the same time, notify all troops that there is an Iron Blood Clan mentioned by the Intelligence Department on the “One Five” Earth, so be sure to be vigilant and stay alert. ”
“Yes, Captain. ”
“.”
Hearing the response from the other end of the communication, Logan frowned slightly under the helmet.
After thinking for a few seconds, he continued to order: “It has been confirmed that the other party has optical camouflage and plasma weapon technology. Whenever encountering the Iron Blood Warrior, all units should immediately issue a warning and expel them.
If the other party voluntarily withdraws, they will be ignored, but if they launch an attack, they will be killed without hesitation. ”
After Logan finished speaking, he cut off the communication without waiting for a response.
In fact, he originally planned to directly issue a “kill without mercy” order.
But considering that if this decision were to be spread, it might cause criticism from other legions and even have a negative impact on their gene primarchs, he decided to take a more cautious approach.
In fact, from top to bottom, every member of the Space Wolves Legion, whether it is the primarch Riemann or any Astartes implanted with gene seeds, has a deep defensive mentality towards alien races.
This attitude is not only aimed at those races that have never cooperated, but even includes the Sangheili (elite) race that they have fought together.
On the surface, Riemann is like most of the Wild Wolf warriors. He seems to be generous and casual, carefree, and calls the elite race brothers, and even allows the elite race to be incorporated into the auxiliary forces of the legion.
But Riemann’s attitude towards the alien race is very similar to that of the Dark Angels’ Primarch Leon. He is also very cautious and With deep hostility.
For those races with clear hostility, Riemann would “happily” wipe them out and exterminate them without any mercy.
For those races that may have the potential for cooperation, he would also be cautious to prevent any potential betrayal or threats.
That is, after confirming that the elite race has a near-fanatic worship and loyalty to the emperor, Riemann and the wild wolves relaxed their vigilance a little.
Despite this, the wild wolves always remain calm.
They can “drink and talk happily” with the elites in the last second, and in the next moment, if they feel any signs of betrayal, they can also draw their swords without hesitation, without any psychological burden.
Therefore, when facing the alien race of the Iron Blood Warriors, Logan naturally does not want to spend time and energy to distinguish one by one which clan is friendly to humans and which clan is hostile.
Kill one when you see one, and kill a clan when you meet one. It is much easier to kill them all.
In his opinion, clearing them all is the easiest option.
But Logan also knew that if this attitude was made public, especially in front of the elites and other potential allies, it might have unnecessary negative effects and even affect the relationship between the empire and these alien allies.
That’s why he chose a more “compromising” order.
Although it was still a bit radical, from Logan’s perspective, this was the best trade-off he could make.
Then, Logan punched through the wall and widened the gap.
Whoosh! !
The pressure difference between the internal and external environments suddenly made the air surge.
Standing at the edge of the gap, Logan could see the whole picture nearby, and at the same time, he could hear the sound of gunfire from all over.
The whole city fell into a fierce battle with their airborne landing.
Boom-boom-boom!
Accompanied by several violent explosions, Logan instantly judged that the assault team responsible for disintegrating and paralyzing the ground air defense facilities was carrying out the task in an orderly manner.
Then, his eyes quickly locked on the street below.
Then they found that two teams of Hell Paratroopers, with a Cyclops mecha, were engaged in a fierce battle with the government’s “Guards” and Weyland Tangu’s security forces.
The streets were “flaming”.
The Hell Paratroopers relied on their advanced weapons and equipment to accurately snipe enemy personnel, while the Cyclops continued to bombard the enemy lines.
However, the opponent was superior in numbers after all, and the human technology in the “Alien” universe was enough to pose a high threat to the Hell Paratroopers.
Seeing that the Hell Paratroopers and the Cyclops were blocked and began to withstand fire suppression, Logan jumped without hesitation and prepared to join the battle directly.
Rou~——!
Accompanied by a whistle, Logan’s huge body was like a boulder falling from the sky, smashing straight towards an armored vehicle below.
Logan, like a behemoth, fell freely towards an armored vehicle of the Guard.
Boom——! ! !
The movement that sounded like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth resounded throughout the block.
The guard’s armored vehicle was blasted by Logan’s foot, and the body of the vehicle burst open under the impact, igniting a raging fire.
The shock wave of the explosion spread with fragments and smoke, instantly covering the entire street.
The flames and smoke blocked the sight of the guards and security forces, and they fell into a brief chaos and astonishment.
Looking down at the entire capital city, and even all the important towns on Earth “15”, they were all under the attack of the Wild Wolf 14th Company.
When the 14th Company Fleet released the landing craft carrying the auxiliary army, it meant that the ruling power of Earth “15” would soon belong to the Human Empire.
