From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 440
Boom————! ! !
The plasma cannon that was supposed to fall to the ground and then cover Maggie Shaw was offset by a surging flame in an instant. The flames shot up into the sky, like the scorching sun in the sky. The strong explosion and impact instantly swept the entire block, and the air was filled with a hot breath.
The fierce sea of insects, under the influence of this sudden pressure, stagnated slightly, weakening their offensive for a time.
? !
Maggie Shaw, who was moving at high speed, staggered and almost fell in the face of the surging air waves.
She tried her best to maintain balance and provide vigilance. She was in the center of the insect tide and quickly looked up to assess the current situation.
! !
However, when she saw that the whole sky was covered by flames, her face was confused at first, but then she was relaxed because she could finally “take a break”.
Huh————! !
The “whistling wind” caused by the plasma artillery group being detonated in mid-air immediately resounded in the ears of every soldier.
“Be careful to avoid!”
A mobile infantryman’s warning came in the chaos.
“Fuck! What on earth is going on?!”
Another mobile infantryman cursed, with fear and confusion in his eyes.
“What’s going on?!”
“Fire fell from the sky?!”
Then, the firepower point on the seventh floor of the office building was filled with panicked words, and the combat group deployed here seemed to be in a brief chaos.
After all, they did not expect to encounter such an unexpected situation in this battle.
Moreover, the strong shock wave almost blew away the mobile infantrymen who were not equipped with mechanical skeletons, and even the assault soldiers had difficulty keeping their balance.
After the aftermath dissipated, the mobile infantrymen and assault soldiers reorganized themselves and returned to the shelter by the window.
However, what really shocked and even terrified these soldiers was not the powerful air wave, but the surging “flame” that burst out from an unknown place.
Everyone looked out the window, and the flames in front of them seemed to engulf the whole world. The blazing light and impact almost suffocated them.
Although they had gone through various battles and were already usable soldiers, and some mobile infantry and assault soldiers even had superb combat qualities and were considered elite, but at this moment, facing this incredible scene, no one could suppress the surprise and shock in their hearts.
“What is this?”
A assault soldier opened his helmet and muttered to himself as he looked up at the gradually dissipating flames in the sky.
Their training and actual combat experience could not explain everything in front of them, as if at this moment, the rules of the battlefield were broken.
Huh~——!
With a violent air flow, the sky-covering flames in front of everyone completely dissipated.
Then, a group of mobile infantry and assault soldiers finally saw the source of the air flow –
It was an “archangel” with white wings.
The golden hair flowed like a waterfall, and the face was handsome and sacred, as if every detail was radiant.
The imperial spear in his hand, the flame burned on it, emitting a dazzling golden light, reflecting everything around.
What is more eye-catching is that the golden armor “he” wore was like the dawn of dawn, as if it could penetrate all darkness.
As for the sound source of the air flow, it was the rhythmic flapping of “his” white wings, like a slowly playing a sacred war song.
“He” appeared like a god descending, and the originally tense and chaotic battlefield was instantly solidified.
All these characteristics show that this “archangel” is the original body of the Holy Blood Angels Legion, Sanguinius.
! ! !
When everyone finally saw Sanguinius’ figure, they were already stunned, and now they were stunned and stood there, almost forgetting the danger they were in.
The rumors they heard from the navy in the past echoed in their minds
“The human empire has the help of gods!”,
“An archangel is flying directly in the universe?! Can you believe it?!”, and “And there is a superman who looks like a steel can on the opposite side, and we can’t beat him at all!” and other remarks.
But to be honest, the mobile infantry and assault soldiers always have doubts about these words in their hearts.
After all, humans have lived in this universe for a long time, but have never seen a real “god” or a supernatural creature like an “angel”.
Even though Maggie Shaw showed superhuman combat capabilities, and everyone could glimpse Sanguinius’s appearance from some videos and image materials, they always felt that this was just a manifestation of the extremely advanced biotechnology of the human empire.
At this moment, Sanguinius’s eyes were like bright stars, scanning every soldier, as if he could see through their inner fear and anxiety.
He raised his head slightly, and his voice was like the sound of nature, with an irresistible sense of holiness, slowly spreading throughout the capital city:
“Everyone – please don’t worry – the support of the Empire has arrived -“
Every word he said spread like ripples, making people feel an invisible force quietly injected into their hearts.
As the voice fell, Sanguinius raised his right hand, his eyes locked on the intersection where the Zerg swarm was most dense, and then his posture was quite elegant, but in fact he threw out the Spear of the Empire very quickly.
Rou————!!
The sharp spear blade drew a brilliant trajectory in the air, mixed with sonic booms and flames, and went straight to the center of the intersection.
Boom————!!
The moment the tip of the spear touched the ground, a loud bang tore the air apart, and flames and radiance poured out.
At this moment, the insect tide at the crossroads was like a piece of paper torn by the wind, and was immediately “evaporated” and “vaporized” by the powerful energy bursting out of the Spear of the Empire, and completely turned into ashes.
And the most shocking thing is that this powerful force seems to be deliberately controlled and restrained by Sanguinius, only blackening the walls of the surrounding buildings, and did not cause greater damage.
In just a few seconds, with just one blow, thousands of warrior insects and tiger insects disappeared in the flames and became the dust of history.
“This is really an angel!”
Hearing Sanguinius’ words, and seeing the power of the Spear of the Empire after being actively weakened, a mobile infantryman could not suppress his inner reverence, knelt on one knee, and his expression showed endless awe.
At this moment, he seemed to see the gods in myths and legends, and his shock was beyond words.
Moreover, with the arrival of Sanguinius and his godlike performance, the atmosphere on the seventh floor of the office building also quietly changed.
For a time, the soldiers who had been firm in “atheism” began to waver under the background of the sacred light.
There was a lofty faith in everyone’s eyes, as if at this moment, they found a reason worth fighting for. The fearless courage in their hearts burned like a prairie fire, dispelling the shadow of despair and inspiring everyone’s soul. Moreover, when the mobile infantry and assault soldiers on the seventh floor of the office building looked up at Sanguinius above, they were surprised to find that the night sky was frequently flashing its dazzling blue beams?
These beams were extremely bright, and with them, there were countless bursts of light, as brilliant as fireworks, illuminating the dark sky.
Obviously, the situation in the low-Earth orbit has also changed dramatically with the appearance of Sanguinius.
After Arach’s biological fleet forced the remaining fleet back into the atmosphere and took control of the near-Earth orbit, it began to unscrupulously drop meteorites carrying insects and eggs on the surface of Campbell, while continuously firing plasma artillery.
However, now, the mobile infantry and assault soldiers gradually realized that the number of meteorites and artillery groups breaking through the atmosphere has decreased significantly.
This change is like the dawn, bringing them the dawn of victory.
Because all these sudden changes mean that the human empire fleet from New Hope has left the jump space and reached Campbell’s near-Earth orbit, and has launched a fierce battle with Arach’s biological fleet.
However, from the perspective of everyone, they always feel that the imperial fleet is “pressing” the biological fleet.
The dazzling blue beam flashing in the night sky is undoubtedly the “high-energy beam” mentioned by the navy, that is, the trajectory of the main gun of the Sanguinius flagship, the Red Tear.
As for the countless bursts of radiance, they must be those space transport bugs and plasma bugs that were swept and detonated by high-energy beams, and the bug eggs contained in them also turned into ashes at this time and disappeared into the universe.
Sanguinius, who was better at using his own psychic power than Guilliman and Lion, naturally keenly sensed the inner changes of these mobile infantry and assault soldiers.
Moreover, he was deliberately “acting” to make his image closer to “holy”, “god” and “angel”.
Such a strategy can not only enhance combat morale, but also help those mobile infantry and assault soldiers who are terrified in the continuous battles to strengthen their beliefs, and there is a great probability that they will directly become loyal citizens of the empire.
The facts are also working as he thought.
After witnessing the incredible flames and his personal appearance, the entire armed units on the seventh floor of the office building, and even deployed around him, as well as the locals of Campbell hiding in their respective homes, could not help but worship him
and even have extremely strong faith emotions.
To be honest, in the past, Sanguinius might not have bothered to create a “holy” or “glorious” image.
But his closest brother Guilliman would make good use of his own image to consolidate his rule, and would deliberately portray himself, the Emperor, and a group of Primarchs as “gods” and “demigods” for propaganda.
Although his father had never formally discussed religion and faith with them, Guilliman had already judged through the establishment of the Imperial State Religion and the Hell and Heaven planes of “One Three” (Trench Crusaders) that gathering the power of faith of the people of the Empire seemed to be an excellent means to fight against the Warp.
So Guilliman quickly changed from ignoring rumors such as “The Emperor is a god” and “The Primarch is a demigod” to acquiescence, and then to active promotion.
At the same time, Guilliman also shared his ideas and opinions with Sanguinius and Lion through his private email.
As for the other brothers, Guilliman was not sure how they would react after receiving his ideas and opinions, so he chose to give up.
Sanguinius naturally trusted Guilliman 100% and readily accepted Guilliman’s advice.
So Sanguinius deliberately created an image of “the coming of the gods”, and every move he made exuded majesty and extraordinary power.
At this moment, he raised his right hand again and used his mind to call back the Spear of the Empire, and the weapon emitting golden flames drew a dazzling arc in the air, responding to his “call”.
Glancing at Maggie Shaw below, confirming that his fellow was only slightly injured and was not in danger of life, Sanguinius suddenly flapped the white wings behind him.
Whoosh-whoosh-!!
The huge and majestic body instantly turned into a dazzling golden afterimage, as if it was about to tear through the sky, and headed straight for the western part of the capital city, which was in urgent need of support, to stabilize the precarious front line at that end.
Boom. Boom——!
After a while, the sky in the west of the city burst into blazing golden flames again, accompanied by dull explosions that shook the sky above the city.
The visible shock waves and air waves surged, as if to tear the entire night sky apart.
Seeing Sanguinius leave, the mobile infantry and assault soldiers who were shocked for a moment gradually came to their senses and expressed their feelings;
“So strong”
“Is that the archangel that the navy mentioned?”
“If the angels are so strong, what about the legendary human emperor?”
“But…” However, a mobile infantryman found that there were still endless Zergs gathering on the street outside the window, and his heart was filled with uneasiness again. He frowned and asked:
“The archangel is gone, what should we do next? I only have three magazines left…”
Before he finished speaking, the sergeant in charge of commanding the firepower group immediately walked to the side of the mobile infantryman, raised his hand and patted his helmet, and fiercely He shouted:
“Without that angel, will you become weak?!”
Then, the sergeant opened the communication channel within the group and continued steadily:
“Attention all apes! Fight with all your strength! Don’t be stingy with ammunition! We can’t expect Captain Xiao to hold the entire defense line alone, right?!
Besides, since the angels and fleets of the human empire have arrived, it means that it won’t be long before they will send combat troops to carry out airdrops!
At that time, we can take a breather and leave the next battle to them!
Do you understand?!”
“Sir! Yes! Sir!”
The soldiers around were greatly encouraged and responded in unison, their voices like a bell.
“Sir! Look at the sky!”
Just then, a commando raised his hand and pointed out the window.
?
After hearing this, the sergeant walked to the commando’s side and looked at the night sky through the window that had long lost its glass.
Then, looking in the direction of the commando’s finger, the sergeant saw a large number of “meteors” wrapped in flames falling from the night sky again.
Was it a meteorite from insects?
Or was it an airdrop from the Imperial Fleet?
The sergeant had not yet analyzed the specific results –
Boom! Boom!!
He heard the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground from the south side of the office building.
At the same time, he also heard metallic battle cries such as “For the Emperor!”,
“For Campbell’s compatriots!”,
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”.
