From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

the outskirts of an abandoned city;

A large number of orc infantrymen with rough, rocky skin and an overall earth-gray color, holding large-caliber "broken" rifles, are marching towards the city center in an endless stream.

In addition, they are extremely strong, with an average height of around two meters.

Even though they look ferocious and "brainless", they are also organized into tactical squads and tactical platoons, interspersed between streets and buildings.

Looking around, it is almost impossible to measure and count exactly how many there are.

But the only thing that is certain is that they rushed to the surface with the help of the collapsed road surface, like an endless tide.

"Roar!"

There were also giant beasts of enormous size, at least fifteen meters in height, taking steps that could shake the earth, and they continued to approach the front-line base along with the orc infantry.

"hiss!!"

There are also orc biological flying units in the sky.

Just looking at these combat organizations, it is not difficult to find that the overall technology tree of the orcs tends to be "biochemical".

The creatures on the surface and in the air seem to be underground populations kept in captivity by the orcs, who then use domestication and biological transformation methods to transform them into their living combat tools.

Of course, the Orcs also have "tanks" which are armored units.

However, the appearance of the armored units is very rough, as if they were pieced together from abandoned vehicles and furniture, and then equipped with an engine to barely run.

This is very different from Atlas' usual minimalist, sci-fi style.

Their combat effectiveness is also very different.

boom! ! boom! !

The large-caliber plasma cannon fired from the direction of the front-line base landed in the area where the orc units gathered, causing a deafening explosion.

Hiss. Hiss.!!

The sparks from the plasma will also melt and ignite the orcs and biological units outside the explosion range.

The fixed artillery at the front-line base caused heavy damage to the sudden orc army.

On the other hand, they have no effective means of counterattack and can only passively take the beating when infantry, armored and biological units arrive near the front-line base.

"Roar!!!"

However, despite the heavy bombardment, they were not frightened. Instead, they became eager to fight and quickened their pace to charge towards the front-line base.

It's a pity that

Clang clang clang!!!

Ri~咻——! !

More than 5,000 young Astartes who had been scattered throughout the abandoned city immediately poured standard bolts and plasma artillery regiments into the orc army.

I saw a team of Sons of Humanity at the forefront, like a dam that blocked the flood on its own. The orc infantry and orc sergeants and lieutenants could not move forward even a single step.

These sons of men, wearing Titanium Type 1 power armor without energy shields and painted mainly in black, purple and gold, were not afraid of the orcs' gun attacks, but they still made full use of the surrounding cover.

The Sons of Man team, who were at the crossroads, first used their bolt rifles, machine guns and small-caliber plasma cannons to pour ammunition at the fearless orcs.

Clang! Clang. Click!

Soon, four young Astartes armed with bolt rifles, including the team leader, had emptied their first magazine.

The machine gunner, holding a 1.0cal heavy bolter and a small-caliber plasma cannon in both hands, was still delivering firepower to the orc wave.

puff! Poof! !

The orcs who were hit by the standard 1.0cal caliber explosive arrows were torn and shredded by the bullet itself before the explosive arrows could detonate the metallic hydrogen contained in them.

It's true that they have hard skin and well-developed muscles, and can even effectively resist close-range direct fire from light weapons. Combined with the protective gear they wear, they are like a biochemical armored soldier.

With their intelligence and tactical experience, Orc infantry are theoretically much stronger than Atlas' new generation of clones.

Even when the clones are in the stage of cultivation, there is a low content of Inquis serum in their nutrient solution, which makes them have physical fitness beyond that of ordinary people. However, based on the comparison of body size and strength, the orc infantry are enough to tear the clones apart with their bare hands.

But facing the Astartes, especially the bolt and plasma series weapons, the orcs' original advantages were gone.

boom! boom!

At this moment, as the standard bolt bomb triggered the detonation of metallic hydrogen, dense and extremely tiny "suns" began to flash in front of the Sons of Man team.

"Roar!"

The orcs who were hit by the extremely high temperature explosion immediately let out wails and screams.

Broken limbs, broken flesh and charred corpses were scattered along the main road ahead of the team.

Some orcs who were still breathing were struggling to get up.

But this time, there was fear in their eyes, and they all wanted to turn around and flee.

The four young Astartes who had emptied their first magazines seemed to have no intention of continuing to pull the trigger after replacing the new magazines.

At this time, the squad leader with "Sol Tarvitz" engraved on his chest armor attached the bolt rifle to his right leg armor.

Then use your right hand to take off the chainsaw sword hanging on your waist and connect the hilt to the slot on your palm.

Buzz~buzz! ! Boom!

With the power backpack's cold fusion reactor as the power source, the blade chain made of dwarven steel began to spin rapidly.

Then, the team leader named Tarvitz raised his right hand and swung it forward, pointing the tip of his chainsword at the messy main road, and said loudly:

"Charge! Let these ugly bastards see that we humans are not weaklings!

For humanity!"

After saying this, Tarvitz charged forward at an extremely fast running speed.

"For humanity!"

The remaining team members all roared in unison.

In addition, three riflemen, also armed with chainswords, followed the captain and prepared to engage in close combat with the orcs.

As for the two machine gunners, they relied on sufficient ammunition to provide fire cover for the four people who were both comrades and brothers.

In the blink of an eye.

Tarvitz rushed to where the orcs were gathered.

While running, he would deliberately step on the injured orcs who were struggling on the ground.

Bang! Poof! !

The heads and chests of the injured could not withstand the stomping of tons of force and were completely turned into lifeless "meat paste".

! !

The orc infantrymen who arrived later saw Tarvitz was so close and wanted to shoot him.

But Tarvitz, who saw through the opponent's movements, dodged the orc infantry's gun line with a quick move and swung out his chainsaw sword.

Buzz~——hiss.~sizzle——!!

The high-speed rotating steel chain violently cut the orc infantry in half, causing blood to spurt out.

? !

After witnessing their comrades being brutally killed by "humans", the surrounding orcs were all stunned.

After all, in their impression, how could humans have such powerful strength?

Without waiting for the orcs to react, Tarvitz strolled through the enemy group and used his chainsword to cut off, behead, and chop vertically all obstacles in front of him.

After the three brothers also joined the battle, the waves of orcs that tried to break through the defenses began to be pushed back by the Sons of Man team.

Looking down from above, the orcs in the entire city were "miserable", completely helpless against the young Astartes before them.
