From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

!

Thinking that the Headless Horseman would rush forward and trample him and his sister to death, Krontor could not help but hug Carrie tightly, close his eyes, and wait for "death" to come.

He deeply regretted agreeing to his sister's request and took advantage of his father's work to wander around the town that was undergoing reconstruction.

If he and his sister had bought chips, drinks and snacks and stayed at home, how could they have encountered the headless knight? There was no possibility that their lives would be in danger.

?

But after waiting for a moment, Krontor realized that he was still alive, and after hearing and feeling the movement not far in front of him, he mustered up the courage to open his eyes.

? ! ? !

The moment they opened their eyes, Kronto, his sister Carrie, and the local residents present discovered that another giant had appeared "out of thin air" between them and the Headless Knight.

I saw the giant in front of me, wearing extremely heavy, gorgeous and exquisite "knight" armor.

With a giant lion cloak hanging behind him and a giant sword engraved with a lion in his right hand, at first glance, Krontor and the local residents would mistake him for a legendary "Paladin".

But the giant was not wearing a helmet, revealing to the outside world that although he was handsome, he chose to keep his long blond hair in an old-fashioned style and had a curly beard.

And that giant was the third son of the Emperor of Mankind, the Primarch of the Dark Angels Legion -

Leon.

Of course, Krontor, Carrie and the local residents had no way of knowing yet that the giant before them was none other than a Primarch.

Although the personnel of the Inquisition used the Imperial Church to transmit the Human Code and Imperial ideals to local residents, and introduced the Emperor and his "demigod" sons, the local residents still had a vague concept of the Primarchs.

Besides, the emperor has quite a lot of sons.

The local residents had only been exposed to the Human Code and Imperial philosophy for less than a month, so naturally they were unable to remember and identify each Primarch.

"Wow!"

However, the simple-minded Carrie did not think as much as her brother. After seeing the majestic Leon, she couldn't help but sigh:

"Brother! You're so handsome. How about you become an Emperor Angel in the future? Like this. Ugh.? Ugh!!"

Before Carrie could finish her words, Krontor raised his hand to cover her mouth.

Kronto didn't want to attract the attention of Leon and the Dullahan because of his sister's words at this time.

The best option now is to "wait and see".

From Kronto's perspective, he couldn't be 100% sure whether Leon was really on their side.

The people around him also shut up and stared at Leon's back nervously.

After all, the originally aggressive Headless Knight stopped after "seeing" Leon appear, causing the situation on the scene to fall into a weird confrontation.

Only the auxiliary troops responsible for evacuating the crowd immediately saluted Leon.

Although the auxiliary soldiers all wore face-covering helmets, preventing others from observing their facial expressions, judging from their slightly panicked behavior, their expressions should be mostly one of surprise and astonishment.

They obviously did not expect that the Primarch of their legion would suddenly appear not far in front of them.

But Leon just glanced behind him with the corner of his eye, and his cold eyes swept over everyone present.

However, Leon's gaze lingered on Carrie for a moment longer.

As a Primarch, Lion is not like his brother Magnus, who can use and control pure psychic energy at will, but Lion also has psychic talents that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Apparently, Leon noticed something different about Carrie.

Then, the Primarch turned his attention back to the Dullahan, who was slightly taller than him even though he had no head, and ordered the auxiliary troops:

"Continue to escort the local people to evacuate, and then inform other departments not to interfere with any actions of the Dark Angels without authorization. At the same time, they are not allowed to change the original action plan without my order."

After saying this, without waiting for the auxiliary army to respond, Leon stepped forward and took the initiative to approach the Headless Knight who was not far away.

"Everyone! Go! Quick!"

"Don't look back! Run forward with all your might!"

The auxiliary troops, synths, advance teams and Inquisition agents who received orders from the Primarch hurriedly led the local people to quickly evacuate the square of the Imperial Cathedral.

These elite troops of the Empire knew that if the Primarch "let go" of the fighting, not only the Imperial Church, but even the entire town would be in trouble.

The agents who originally belonged to the Atlas ARS (Rapid Reaction Force) but participated in the extermination of the fallen Greek gods and were assigned to the Inquisition should be the ones who know the Primarchs best and what kind of strength they have.

When Sanguinius and Horus killed Artemis, Poseidon, Zeus and other fallen gods, they caused the Olympus volcano, the tallest and most massive mountain in the solar system, to tremble violently.

It even almost caused the Olympus volcano, which had been dormant for millions or tens of millions of years, to erupt again.

So when they saw Leon arriving in person, ready to deal with the Headless Knight whose strength seemed comparable to Satan's, the empire's elite troops breathed a sigh of relief, but then instantly became nervous and hurriedly led the local residents to evacuate.

-

On the other hand, Leon's side;

He walked slowly towards the Dullahan who was in a daze, and his eyes swept over the two company guards who were in a state of "pseudo-death" again.

As for the seven Greek demigods who were also lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, he simply ignored them.

Leon now has a blank expression on his face, but people who know Leon's true nature, such as his father Sui Yang and adoptive mother Alexia, can tell at a glance that he is angry now.

Leon was really unhappy because the elite of the Dark Angels were defeated again and again by the Hell and Heaven of the "One and Three" Universe.

This Primarch believed that his own legion had the strongest individual combat power among all the legions.

The Lion knew that it was "reasonable" that Galan Clovis, as well as the Company Champion and Company Guard of the Dark Angels' 1st Company, were defeated by Satan, the Lord of Hell.

But the headless knight who appeared out of nowhere defeated two company guards again.

That was a slap in Leon's face.

Originally in the Doom universe, Leon, who was busy with the expansion of the Legion, had actually been paying close attention to the developments of Trench Crusader (13).

Through Galan's report, we learned that the church that believes in God and the power of heaven is preparing to retaliate against the border towns under the rule of the empire.

After Soap, Athena and Galan were ready to relax their guard, lure the Church to expose itself, and try to obtain the arrangement to the heavenly plane, Leon directly applied to his father for approval to lead his direct troops to participate in the integration of the "One Three" universe.

In this regard.

Sui Yang naturally had no reason to refuse, and readily approved Leon's request.

After getting approval, Leon personally led the Glory Guards in the legion, whose individual strength was no less than that of the company champions, or even crushed them, and arrived at the "One Three" front-line base first.

The so-called Honor Guard is the "bodyguard" of the Primarch of each legion.

Each Honor Guard is carefully selected and formed by the Primarch, so the Honor Guard of each legion is different in number, size, weapons and equipment, and also has the unique style of each Primarch.

For example, Lion's brother Guilliman, whose Ultramarines' Honor Guard numbered as many as 4000, comparable to Magnus' entire Thousand Sons Legion, also known as the "Ever-Victorious Army".

However, Lion did not learn about the personnel composition of the Ever-Victorious Army in detail. Moreover, the organization, tactics and areas of expertise of the Glory Guard members were all confidential. Even though they were close brothers, Guilliman was not generous enough to share the files of the Ever-Victorious Army with Lion.

However, Leon's criteria for selecting the Glory Guard were "able to fight" and "obedient".

The Dark Angels' Honor Guard is nicknamed the "Paladins," and each Paladin is an elite veteran who has participated in many battles since completing the gene-seed transplant while still a minor.

The total number of people is 300.

This is more than ten times less than the Ever-Victorious Army, but each Paladin is equipped with Iron Cavalry, Hades and Indomitable Terminators. The dwarf craftsmen in Terra also forged exclusive weapons for each Paladin.

It can be said that this is a direct-affiliated force built by draining out Leon's "savings" over the years.

While the Glory Guard was deployed to the "13" front-line base, Leon directly activated the stealth mode of the power armor, crossed the no-man's land where the poisonous fog was gradually dissipating alone, and came to this border town to observe secretly.

After watching the individual video footage of Galan and others breaking into hell, especially the scene of the first layer of the soul, Leon instantly understood the dealings of heaven and hell.

Satan, the Lord of Hell, was killed instantly by Galan, who was possessed by his father, but that does not mean that Satan's individual strength is weak. On the contrary, if Satan is placed in the human empire, he will definitely be ranked among the top.

Although not as good as their Primarchs, it is not much different from Athena who did not get her father's gun.

Therefore, Leon was worried that when the church launched retaliatory sabotage actions against border towns, it would most likely summon high-level combat forces from the heavenly plane to the physical universe by sacrificing fanatical believers.

The Inquisition has made corresponding arrangements for this. Now, more than a hundred Greek demi-gods have gathered around the Imperial Cathedral.

In less than ten seconds, the group of Greek demi-gods, whose individual combat power was stronger than that of ordinary Astartes, would appear in Leon's visual field.

According to Leon's analysis, the headless knight facing more than a hundred Greek minor gods will have only one outcome, which is "death".

But as the Primarch of the Dark Angels, the Lion could not accept that the Headless Horseman was killed by a Greek demi-god belonging to the Inquisition after seriously injuring two company guards.

In addition, after Leon discovered that the Dullahan's target seemed to have shifted to a human girl (Carrie) with psychic potential, he chose to take the initiative to show up and stop the Dullahan's steps.

now.

The moment Leon came within attack range, the headless knight swung his giant sword and slashed at Leon's neck.

Buzz——boom——!!

The trajectory of the giant sword's swing cannot be captured by ordinary people, and when it is swung, it also creates an extremely deafening sonic boom.

but--

Clang~——clang——chila——!!!

However, accompanied by two metallic "clangs" and the sound of a sharp blade smoothly cutting through flesh, the headless knight was split in half by Leon's Lion King's giant sword, along with his armor.

Boom. Plop!

The headless knight, who was split into two halves, swayed a bit, then fell to the ground one after another, without making any movement.

And a faint red light, when it left the "two halves" of the Headless Knight's body, was completely [absorbed] and [digested] by the Lion King's giant sword in Leon's hand.

Ordinary physical attacks can only expel the Headless Horseman back to the heavenly plane, but cannot truly destroy him.

But Leon's Lion King's giant sword directly turned it into "nutrients" to boost his father's spiritual power.

!!!

The hundreds of Greek demi-gods who rushed to the scene only felt a flash of silver light, and then the battle between the Primarch Leon and the Headless Knight was decided.

Even they can't see the trajectory and movement clearly

How fast is it?

The Greek demi-gods were shocked by the strength displayed by the Primarch.

However, Leon was too lazy to care what the Greek god thought. He put the giant sword into the scabbard hanging on his waist, then turned to look at the technicians who had already evacuated the church square with the crowd, and ordered through the communication:

"Come and collect the body."

After saying these few words, Leon left the square and walked towards the center of the town.

When the technicians heard the order and learned that the threat to the square had been lifted, they returned to the church square to collect the body of the Headless Horseman and to treat the seriously injured company guards and the Greek deity on the spot.

The people who had originally evacuated to the safe area, including Kronto, Carrie and others, also had to be re-examined and quarantined.

As a result, the imperial elite troops who participated in the operation were also not allowed to carry out other tasks for a short period of time.

After all, the Biology Department needs to comprehensively analyze and test the Headless Horseman to ensure whether it is contagious.

In addition, a Phoenix-class support craft belonging to the 1st Company of the Dark Angels appeared in the sky, and a large number of Pelicans and Silver Gulls left the hangar, carrying more technicians and auxiliary troops, and even Astartes pharmacists, to the town to implement a comprehensive blockade and medical assistance.

However, among the many aerial vehicles, there was one that was a Thunderhawk gunboat from the "13" front-line base.

Followed by.

The gunboat, which was twice as big as an ordinary Thunderhawk and painted mainly in black and dark green, landed in the central square of the town.

Wait until the gunboat stops and the hatch opens.

Six paladins equipped with Iron Cavalry Terminators escorted Serin out of the cabin and came to Leon who killed the Headless Knight instantly.

Serin raised her head slightly, her eyes flashing lavender light, and said: "Judging from the characteristics of that abnormal creature, it must be the Apocalypse Horseman War described in the Bible.

According to the files of the Inquisition, the Church of One and Three must have sacrificed a large number of believers to the heavenly plane to transform the nun into a carrier and summon her to the physical universe."

"Oh, sacrifice."

Leon seemed to have guessed what Serin said long ago, and walked straight into the engine room of the gunboat and continued:

"Then sacrifice all the God believers on Earth 13 to open the portal to the heavenly plane."
