From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 442

More than ten hours later;

The capital city of Campbell, which was originally on the back side of the sun, now welcomed the dawn.

Through the glimmer of morning light, looking down at the city from the air, you can still see the diffuse smoke and fire, as if telling the fierce battle last night.

Bang. Bang.

Da. Dada

The occasional sporadic gunshots on the street clearly indicate that the “three-way melee” between Campbell Blood Angel and Arach seems to have ended.

However, after careful observation, an unbearable scene appeared before our eyes-

The streets were full of broken limbs and claws, and the ground and walls were stained green and orange with blood. The fishy smell was like an invisible wave, invading everyone’s senses.

As the sun rose, the smell became more pungent.

In this uncomfortable atmosphere, the corresponding mobile infantry and local police and other cleaning personnel are struggling to use various tools to try to clear it all as soon as possible.

Their faces were full of fatigue and pain, their lips were tightly pursed, their muscles were tense, as if they were trying to resist the suffocating fishy smell.

The remaining warrior bugs and tiger bugs seemed to be waiting for the final Jedi counterattack.

Even though they knew that they were defeated through the will of the swarm, and were abandoned by the will of the swarm and left to fend for themselves, their instinctive desire to survive still drove them to fight desperately.

But when their number reached tens of millions, they could not cause trouble to the Blood Angels Legion, let alone the remaining thousands.

However, despite the decisive victory in this battle, there are still some potential hidden dangers that have not been completely eliminated.

Those meteorites carrying insect eggs are scattered in the capital city and even in every corner of the Campbell planet, becoming the only remaining threat.

Fortunately, the biological technicians who accompanied the Blood Angels fleet have been able to accurately lock those latent eggs with their in-depth research and data analysis over the past few months.

Using exclusive equipment and instruments, these technicians, under the protection of the auxiliary army and ODST (Hell Paratroopers), are removing the eggs one by one.

If the location of the eggs is too bad, such as deep under the sea, they will be removed by exclusive terminators and hunters.

Therefore, it won’t take long for Campbell’s status to return to “green”.

Moreover, the remnant fleet, which was supposed to provide artillery support for the mobile infantry and assault soldiers, anchored at the starport of the capital city after the Blood Angels completed the boarding and successfully participated in the war, and received comprehensive repairs and supplies.

Now, the ship suspended above the capital city is a Phoenix-class support boat belonging to the 1st Company of the Holy Blood.

The appearance of the two-kilometer-long Phoenix class directly crushed the escort transport ship of the Federation.

You know, this is still a “support” ship, and its firepower configuration is even worse than that of the Paris class.

So the mobile infantry and assault soldiers who knew this were once again shocked by the size of the human empire.

In addition to demonstrating the strength of the Empire and the Blood Angels, this Phoenix-class ship also dispatched a large number of Hex robots to assist Campbell’s side in the cleanup work.

Hex robots are not only extremely efficient, but also equipped with precise sensing systems that can identify and process different types of limbs, blood stains and organs, and are quickly cleaning up all the filth in the capital city.

咜~咜~咜~!

The figures that look like mechanical spiders shuttle through the streets of the city, and there is also a sound of mechanical arms poking the road surface.

They are tireless, have no sense of smell, and “work hard”, which seems to bring the “rebirth prelude” to this severely damaged city and restore the vitality of this land as soon as possible.

And the local civilians who followed Campbell’s official instructions are still hiding in their homes, or are arranged by the authorities in emergency buildings and tunnels.

Although they had a strong desire to clean up the capital city with the mobile infantry, assault troops, and the Blood Angels, in order to ensure the stability of the situation, Sanguinius, who instantly became the commander-in-chief, decisively issued an order requiring all civilians not to go out or go to the streets for the time being.

After all, there are still many stink bugs that have not been cleared. If civilians appear, it will greatly increase the burden and pressure on each department.

As for the control of low-Earth orbit, it has also returned to the human side.

With the presence of the Red Tear, the biological fleet of the Arach Zerg cannot fight against it at all.

When the number is large to a certain extent, it can indeed crush the quality.

However, when the “quality” is strong to a certain extent, no matter how large the number is, it is useless.

Facing the Forerunner civilization’s Sojourner-class dreadnought battleships, hundreds of thousands of space transport bugs and plasma bugs are like countless African marching ants (man-eating ants), on the empty concrete ground, to fight against humans wearing protective clothing and holding flamethrowers.

It cannot be said that there is no chance of winning. As long as humans have a brain seizure, take off their protective clothing and flamethrowers, and then lie in the ant colony without any resistance, then the marching ants can indeed win, and even eat humans to death.

But humans can burn all the ant colonies exposed on the concrete floor directly if they operate normally.

So as long as the Red Tear does not actively shut down the shield and shut down the main guns and secondary guns, it only needs to use the beam matrix, cooperate with the flagship New Era aircraft carrier of the Holy Blood 1st Company, and the entire fleet, and slowly “sweep”.

In this way, the war that broke out in the low-Earth orbit and Campbell’s gravity range ended faster than the ground war.

As for Sanguinius, the father of all Blood Angels, he was in the main square of the Governor’s Mansion, discussing with a group of senior officials.

——

This side of the main entrance square of the Government House Building;

Sanguinius stood five meters tall with his wings folded behind his back, making him look even more majestic.

The pale golden light loomed around Sanguinius, seeming to demonstrate his extraordinaryness and holiness, shocking everyone present.

Among the people surrounding Sanguinius were Leon, Maggie and several investigators who were responsible for lurking and instigating everyone’s rebellion.

Moreover, Leon, Maggie and others looked calm. They had long known about the extraordinary qualities of Sanguinius.

What’s more, the arrival of Sanguinius gave them a strong backing and more confidence. At the same time, they got rid of the spy life of “calculating” and “tiring” day and night.

Now they can finally “bathe in the sunshine” without having to use false identities to face everyone.

In addition to Leon, Maggie and others, there are also Rigo, Tiz, Ace and many local non-commissioned officers and lieutenants from the “Starship Fleet” universe.

This group of people are “real” officers who were appointed by the top federal officials after Leon and Maggie forcibly dismissed their superiors. Some of them are Leon and Maggie’s best friends and confidants, such as Ace, Rigo and Tiz.

It’s just that after this group of people came into close contact with Sanguinius, almost everyone looked solemn.

While he was in awe of Sanguinius, who was like a god, he was also thinking about where to go in the future.

On the other hand, Campbell’s top management, headed by Johnson Hallhold, looked completely different.

They gathered around Sanguinius, with excited expressions and awe and worship written on their faces, looking up at this omnipotent “god” in their eyes. For them, Sanguinius’ existence transcends the realm of human beings. His five-meter height and the pair of radiant wings behind his back seem to have brought them into a mythical world that transcends reality.

Recalling the fierce battle not long ago, Johnson and the others still felt lingering fear.

The Insect Sea offensive in the early morning and late at night allowed them to see the true strength of the Araki Zerg.

The previous meteorite attacks were only minor incidents and could be dealt with by relying on mercenaries, militiamen and police officers.

But facing hundreds of millions of bugs, without the help of mobile infantry and assault troops, Campbell couldn’t hold on for a moment before he would be completely engulfed by the wave of bugs.

However, during the battle in the early morning and late at night, they witnessed Sanguinius soaring in the night sky, throwing the shining golden Imperial Spear into the sea of ​​insects, causing the raging flames to swallow tens of thousands of insects;

Or the warrior bugs and tiger bugs who rush into the sea of ​​bugs alone, wield the Imperial Spear, and level the entire street with absolute brute strength in an instant like a devastation.

According to rough statistics, Sanguinius alone has killed at least more than a million bugs.

A million bugs

This number completely shocked them, because this is simply not a power that humans can achieve.

Where can anyone be more than five meters tall and have wings on their back?

How could anyone kill a million bugs on their own?

Without Sanguinius, the capital city’s western front might have completely collapsed before the arrival of the Blood Angels, Hell Paratroopers, and Auxiliary Army.

This means that the mobile infantry and assault troops will have to give up the west, and the civilians hiding in the buildings will also be slaughtered and fall into the insect’s mouth.

To them, Sanguinius is “god”!

To be honest, before meeting Sanguinius, Johnson and the others were still struggling with whether agreeing to Leon’s proposal and sending a request for help to the Human Empire was inviting the wolf into the house.

Now?

Now they are eager to join the human empire directly.

Regardless of the influence of Sanguinius, who has his own “holy aura”, the combat power of the Blood Angels fleet alone is worthy of their initiative to bring the entire colony under the rule of the Human Empire.

After all, the human empire has the ability to keep their side safe.

What if it were changed to a federation?

There was no need to change, they had witnessed with their own eyes before, the Federation’s Star Marshal gave a strong order, requiring the remnants of the expedition fleet to join the Federation’s 12th Fleet.

This order made it clear that Campbell was abandoned and left to fend for themselves.

Because in the eyes of the federation’s top brass, although Campbell’s “hard work and meritorious service” provided a lot of help to the surrounding systems and the federation, in the face of political struggles and military security, two million citizens and civilians are just a number and not worth the federation’s energy and financial resources. , to fight against the biological fleet of the Araki Zerg.

With the intervention of the Blood Angels, the overall losses of both the motorized infantry and Campbell’s locals were within a tolerable range.

The exact number of casualties has not yet been calculated.

However, the total casualties of the motorized infantry, commandos, and armed units organized by the Campbell administration were at most around 6,000.

Civilian casualties were approximately 10,000.

Although Johnson and the others were extremely uncomfortable with the loss of one person, without the intervention of the Blood Angels, or without Leon leading a group of mobile infantry to stay, their loss would have been the entire colonial planet.

Even if they carried out a full evacuation, the number of people who could successfully escape from Campbell would be around 200,000 at most.

They could tell at a glance which one was more gratifying, the loss of more than 1.8 million yuan or the loss of 10,000 yuan.

Finally, it was the more advanced technology and propaganda strategies of the Human Empire that attracted Johnson and Campbell’s senior officials even more.

If they really join the human empire system, the living standards of the residents under their rule will be greatly improved.

In this comparison, Johnson and his people are naturally unwilling to work hard for the Federation, but are more eager to join the human empire.

Of course, they cannot guarantee whether Campbell will have smooth sailing in the future.

But at this moment, they only think about how to protect the two million people in the colony under the threat of the Arach Zerg.

So compared with the expressions of the non-commissioned officers and lieutenants, Johnson and Campbell and other senior officials naturally have no solemn expressions.

At this time, the sun shines through the dense clouds, casting a soft glow, which seems to dispel the haze in everyone’s hearts.

Being able to successfully repel countless bugs is indeed a thing worth celebrating and joyful.

“Respected Lord Sanguinius!”

And, Johnson looked up at the giant with gratitude, his voice full of respect and sincerity, and said firmly:

“Thank you for helping our Campbell! Without your intervention, we would have become food for those stink bugs. It is you and the Empire that have rescued us from the dire straits!

Therefore, we are willing to be incorporated into the system of the Human Empire! Please accept our most sincere respect, invite…”

However, before Johnson finished speaking, Sanguinius interrupted him with a gentle smile.

His voice was like the sound of nature, which made people feel at ease:

“Haha, there is no need to do this. After the situation in Campbell is completely stabilized, we will discuss the next step.

After all, Campbell is still at risk of insect plagues, and the first priority is to ensure the safety of the city and the peace of the residents.”

Secondly. “Sanguinius said, turning his head slightly, looking at Rico, Tiz, Ace and others beside him, and added apologetically:

“Major Leon Kennedy is indeed a spy arranged by our human empire, and his purpose is to prevent our compatriots from more casualties.

Please don’t mind too much about this, our original intention is always to protect you. “

At this moment, Sanguinius’s voice was like spring rain, directly soothing the hearts of a group of sergeants and lieutenants.

And he also asked the last question: “I wonder if you are interested in joining our human empire and joining the Blood Angels Legion?”

“Of course!”

As soon as Sanguinius finished speaking, Ace could not wait to respond first.

At the same time, a “meteorite” emitting golden light fell from the sky, immediately attracting Sanguinius’s attention.
