From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

at this time.

The fleet, consisting of the Carthage-class, Heroic-class, Paris-class, and Feddes-class ships, dispatched an overwhelming number of transport boats and carrier-based aircraft to the ground.

After leaving the hangar with the plasma gas valve, thousands of White-legged Falcons and Ghost fighters, as well as a large number of unmanned fighters and unmanned bombers formed an attack formation and began to fly rapidly towards the east of the bloody wall.

Swish~Swish——!

Boom. Boom——! !

The attack formation rapidly approached Jerusalem while launching metal hydrogen missiles with tactical equivalent at the threatening corrupt fortifications and giant creatures on the surface.

In an instant, countless miniature suns appeared on the evil land behind the bloody city wall.

Then came an extremely high temperature shock wave, sweeping away the traitors, heretics and hellish creatures living in the fallen city.

Of course, the bombing of the attack formation is likely to accidentally injure or kill the imprisoned knights of the Knights Templar and nuns of the church.

But pilots don't consider such "friendly casualties". They are only responsible for flying and paving the way for subsequent ground troops.

As for the Hell Paratroopers who originally needed to board the airdrop capsule for airborne landing, now they have to "obediently" follow the main force of the 1st Company and take various transport boats to approach Jerusalem and the Gate of Hell.

If you look down from the air;

The air fleet that took off from the "One Three" front-line base, carrying the elite guards, Greek demigods and gray knights, landed on the east side of the Holy Roman Empire with hundreds of thousands of elite troops.

Moreover, before the transport boat came to a complete stop, the hatch at the rear or front of the cabin was opened to allow combat troops to quickly leave the cabin and be deployed to the battlefield.

The elite guards wearing MacP power armor, the Greek demi-gods with customized armor, and the Grey Knights, each equipped with a set of Holy Shield Terminators, launched a devastating fire suppression on the remaining heretics, traitors, and hellish creatures around them the moment they appeared on the battlefield.

It is true that live ammunition has little effect on Hell's side, but the various weapons of the Human Empire have a larger caliber than those in the ordinary universe, which is enough to tear Hell's troops into pieces.

What's more, the Greek demi-gods and Grey Knights, who number a total of 800 people, are purely professional match for the "subspace-like" threat of Hell.

The "exorcism" bolt bullets containing Hera's spiritual energy are much stronger than the "holy water bullets" used by the Holy Roman Empire in terms of caliber and purification effect.

A gray knight rushed out of the cabin earlier than his other brothers. As soon as he stepped on the cracked and corrupted surface, he charged towards a group of fallen knights who had not yet reacted.

Moreover, this Gray Knight wearing the Holy Shield Terminator is nearly three meters tall, but he is agile and extremely fast.

The Grey Knight charged forward quickly, pointing the muzzle of the parallel bolter attached to his left arm armor at the group of fallen knights.

Damn! Damn! !

Puff—puff!

Accompanied by the crisp and pleasant sound of large-caliber gunfire, the fallen knights were shattered and torn apart one after another by psychic explosive bullets.

A foul smelling blood mist immediately filled the area where the fallen knight was.

? !

"Fight back!"

"Kill that scum!"

"Ow!!"

At this point, these corrupt knights, who could not stand the hypocrisy of God and Heaven and chose to fall into the plane of hell, began to roar and fight back.

They are no longer confused and entangled, and now they are fighting for their own lives.

The Fallen Knights either raised their large-caliber guns and pulled the trigger at the Grey Knight whose speed was so fast that it left an afterimage, or raised their scarlet-glowing giant swords and shields, ready to encircle and suppress the "poor creature" who "overestimated his own capabilities" and dared to charge at them alone.

However, when they pulled the trigger, they found that the reality was not as they imagined.

They are beings that transcend mortal bodies and are more powerful than ordinary knights, but they are unable to accurately lock onto the Grey Knights who are running fast? ? ! !

It would be ok if the Grey Knight had a speed that didn't match his appearance, but he could even dodge bullets with ease.

The Fallen Knights who were responsible for firing single shots and continuous shots from a distance could not cause any substantial damage to the Grey Knights even if they pointed their guns at them or even predicted their next move.

Buzz~! Buzz——!

Even if a few large-caliber bullets that were tainted with filth and corruption successfully hit the Grey Knights, they would still be blocked and cut off by the faint golden light.

this.

How to fight this?

They understand energy shields and protective barriers.

After all, some creatures from Hell have protective barriers, and even high-ranking cultists in the Dark Church can use the power from Hell to release a protective stance, or perform some kind of "magic" attack.

But what they couldn't understand was why this huge guy, which looked extremely clumsy, could actually capture the trajectory of the bullet and react in time to dodge it.

The fallen knights, armed with huge swords and shields, were ready to fight with fewer people, but they had not yet approached.

puff! Poof!

Half of the members were shattered by the Grey Knight's parallel bolter.

These Fallen Knights who wanted to engage in close combat continued to approach regardless of casualties, calculating that the Grey Knights were about to empty their magazines.

Based on the capacity of the magazines they use, the Grey Knights will have to replace them with new magazines.

At that time, it will be the best window for them to rush in.

Since the Grey Knights' guns and armor are more advanced and sophisticated than theirs, and their reaction speed is fast enough to dodge bullets, they can rely on their numerical advantage in close combat to besiege and strangle them.

They are also extremely powerful beings, and I don't believe they can't kill an enemy.

Otherwise, why would they abandon their faith, betray humanity, and then seek even more powerful power from hell?

Clang clang clang!

But unfortunately, their calculations and assumptions were simply not valid, and the parallel bolters continued to pour psychic bolt shells at them.

This is because the parallel bolter mounted on the Grey Knight's left arm armor uses a belt-fed ammunition system and there is no need to replace the magazine.

When the Grey Knights engaged in close combat with the Fallen Knights armed with giant swords and shields, only four "pitiful" ones were left on the Fallen Knights' side.

Moreover, the momentum of these four fallen knights was almost exhausted before they approached the grey knight.

Hit one more and it turned out like this.

In close combat, are they any good?

However, after a brief moment of confusion and entanglement, the four fallen knights regained their spirits, wielding their respective giant swords and slashing at the gray knight.

"Oh, traitor."

But the Grey Knight nonchalantly responded to the Fallen Knight in a metallic tone, and swung the power halberd in his right hand at an even faster speed.

Buzz~——Sizzle——!

The sharp halberd blade, with golden psychic lightning dancing on it, easily "harvested" the head.

"Do not--!"

"what--!"

When the necks of the four fallen knights were cut open by the halberd blades, their heads that were separated from their necks, as well as their bodies that were stuck with flesh and armor, were burned by the golden flames one after another.

The excruciating pain that pierced the depths of their souls made them howl miserably.

"Bastard."

The Grey Knight raised his right hand and swung the power halberd with disdain.

It seemed that the act of using his exclusive weapon to kill the Fallen Knight made him feel very unhappy and disgusted.

The power halberds, power swords, and power spears used by the Grey Knights are powered by the Aegis Terminator, and the Grey Knights' psychic energy is used to create a psychic stance with special attacks against warp creatures.

This means that each Grey Knight's melee weapon is an exclusive item carefully crafted by dwarf craftsmen affiliated with the Inquisition.

During non-combat periods, they need to regularly maintain their armor and weapons.

Some Grey Knights with higher psychic potential can even sense that under the influence of their pure psychic energy, their armor and weapons also have "thoughts".

Of course, their psychic powers come directly from Emperor Sui Yang, so the armor and weapons have "minds" and are not just corruption of the Warp.

But if you look deeper, it seems that their emperor father can also use pure spiritual energy to corrupt

To be precise, it is the effect of "assimilation".

Especially the residents living around the imperial palace, they worship their emperor father as the "only true God". Even if they are ordered to hang themselves or mutilate themselves one day, the residents will willingly carry out the orders.

But the Grey Knights knew their father and would never give such an order.

As for the Grey Knight in front of him, the direct reason why he was unhappy with the Fallen Knights was that they had betrayed humanity and were willing to act as running dogs of hell, enjoying the twisted pleasure of persecuting and killing their compatriots.

After single-handedly dispatching over a hundred Fallen Knights, the Grey Knight continued to quicken his pace, advancing towards Jerusalem in the east.

If you look around the battlefield;

The four hundred Grey Knights are all capable of defeating a thousand enemies at once. At the same time, they are also the "tip of the spear" rushing to the forefront of all the troops.

Although only one tenth of the troops deployed by Hell here survived after the fleet's bombardment, they still numbered at least a million.

The Grey Knights, the Greek demigods, and Athena, who was maintaining her "colossal form", led the main force this time and advanced forward with unstoppable force.

What's more, the fleet of the 1st Regiment of the Dark Angels also maintained a steady speed, providing fire support to the main ground forces, or acting as a mobile logistics supply station, continuously providing ammunition, supplies, etc.

John "Soap" McTavish, who was already a colonel, personally led a vanguard of one hundred men wearing nano-combat uniforms, following Athena and other "people" at the forefront, and investigating and searching for samples of recycling value.

The auxiliary troops, clones, terminators and hunters belonging to the Dark Angels' 1st Company, together with the elite guards of the "One Three" front base, constitute the main force of this operation.

The 1st Company of adult Astartes totaled .

This has long exceeded the company size of ordinary military organization.

However, the legion has its own organization and rank system, which is not compatible with the ordinary imperial organization.

The Dark Angels' 1st Company consists of six combat platoons.

The 1st Combat Platoon is the company commander's command platoon and is also responsible for dealing with high-threat targets that other combat platoons cannot resolve.

After all, all the members of the command platoon are the elite of the company, and some of them are "company champions" who are capable of single combat and overpowering the entire company.

The Astartes of different legions have different customs and styles.

But most legions have one thing in common, which is "figure out whether I am stronger or my brothers are stronger."

During the rest period, members of the Legion Company will engage in "friendly" confrontations at the training grounds within the company flagship.

Therefore, the position of Company Champion emerged naturally without the need for arrangement by the Primarch or the Emperor.

Secondly, there are the 2nd to 4th assault platoons, which are responsible for frontal assaults and are also the main component of the entire company.

The assault platoon includes veterans who participated in major battles in the Halo universe when they were young, as well as "new recruits" who have just completed transformation surgery.

The 5th and 6th combat platoons are responsible for support, medical care, logistics and other matters. They usually do not appear on the battlefield at the first time and have relatively small numbers of people.

There are also unique positions within the 5th and 6th Combat Platoons, such as the "pharmacist" who is responsible for performing surgery on Astartes, and the "technical sergeant" who is responsible for coordinating with the auxiliary army's logistics and ground staff to inspect Astartes' exclusive vehicles and weapons and ammunition.

In addition, the drivers and pilots of Astartes' exclusive vehicles are also responsible for being adult Astartes.

Veterans, recruits, champions, pharmacists and technical sergeants form the current Dark Angels 1st Company.

At this stage, the commander of the 1st Company of the Dark Angels has dispatched the 2nd to 4th assault platoons, and half of the 5th and 6th support platoons to the surface to advance towards Jerusalem, the Gate of Hell, together with the main force.

But the company commander and his command platoon still remained on their company flagship.

At this moment, on the bridge of the Carthage-class aircraft carrier;

"Captain, the ground forces are advancing steadily. At the current speed, they are expected to reach the outskirts of the target area in three hours."

"The medical team of our auxiliary army has dispatched the corresponding medical soldiers to contact the elite troops of the Holy Roman Empire and is ready to provide assistance to the seriously injured patients of the other side."

Inside the extremely spacious bridge, crew members selected by the auxiliary forces were sitting in front of their respective control desks and making oral reports.

The overall style of the bridge is like being in the hall of a knight's templar.

The metal deck is paved with gorgeous floor tiles and surrounded by towering stone pillars. The observation window at the front end of the bridge also has a very wide field of view, allowing one to get a glimpse of the situation of the ground battle.

As for the captain of the 1st Company of the Dark Angels, he was wearing a Hades-type Terminator, with his hands crossed in front of his chest armor, and with a slightly frowned brow, he was paying attention to the progress of the battle through the holographic screen and holographic data.

Moreover, the real name of this company commander is Galan Clovis from the "Doom (movie)" universe.

The reason why Galan frowned was that he was surprised at the Grey Knights' efficiency in killing the enemies.

According to this trend, the main merits of integrating the "Trench Crusade" universe will be "taken away" by the Inquisition.

Therefore, he was considering whether to lead the command platoon and rush directly to the Gate of Hell, which was a hundred kilometers away.
