From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

soon.

The 1st Company of the Dark Angels airdropped via orbit and delivered a thousand adult Astartes, three hundred Paladins (Glory Guard), and ten thousand Legion Hell Paratroopers to the streets and blocks of Vienna.

Moreover, the Primarch of the Dark Angels, Leon, also landed alone in an airdrop pod that could accommodate an entire Astartes tactical team, not far to the east of St. Peter's Cathedral on "13".

At the same time, the 1st Fleet in low-Earth orbit was using its plasma secondary guns to launch crushing attacks on the Holy Roman Empire's fortifications and fixed cannons.

The Pelican, Silver Gull and Luna transports also re-entered the atmosphere carrying tens of thousands of auxiliary troops, preparing to fully occupy Vienna, the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.

-

now.

Leon, who had separated from the main force, was walking towards the cathedral leisurely.

In just a short moment, the entire city was shrouded in deafening gunfire, explosions, and the roar of engines, but the sound of the Primarch's footsteps on the ground was particularly prominent in this area.

The high-ranking officials and nobles living here hid in their respective houses and dared not show their heads. They could only secretly observe the situation outside.

! !

When these "superiors" of the "One and Three" universes saw the Primarch, who was wearing exclusive power armor and was over five meters tall, walking past their houses, they thought that the church had successfully reached a "cooperation" with the heavenly plane.

After all, Leon is handsome. Although he deliberately grows a beard and a slicked-back hairstyle, he has a certain "sacred force field".

When ordinary people see Leon, they will think that Leon's body is shrouded in a "halo" due to the influence of pure spiritual energy, and they will have the urge to kneel down in their hearts.

It’s like having a “sacred beauty function” built in.

When facing the residents of the empire or discussing matters with the auxiliary generals of the legion, Leon would deliberately restrain the "release" of pure spiritual energy.

But now, he was facing a group of privileged parasites who sucked, exploited and deceived ordinary people, and naturally they were too lazy to curb the "sanctifying" effect of pure spiritual energy.

Some noble descendants who had strong faith in God and heaven, when they saw Leon approaching the cathedral, immediately ran out of their houses and hiding places and bowed to Leon.

"Oh my God! A true knight."

"Are you here to save us?"

"Sir, please help us resist the foreign enemies."

Listening to the noble sons, who were generally around 16 or 17 years old, or in their early twenties, talking to him about "God" and "miracle", Leon remained indifferent and walked to the main entrance square of the cathedral.

Starting with the fleet's orbital bombardment, this place gathered elite knights stationed in Vienna, as well as nuns who had fanatical faith and reverence for God and had eaten the flesh and blood of saints.

? !

The knight and the nun were stunned when they saw Leon walking into the square alone, and Leon's appearance was just like the "Paladin of Heaven" described in the legend.

They didn't know what to do for a moment.

As defenders of the cathedral, the Pope, and the bishops, they should attack anyone who breaks in.

But they were also afraid that the Leon in front of them was the "helper" summoned by the church from God and heaven through forbidden rituals.

"."

However, Leon, who had already walked to the center of the square and was not wearing a helmet, looked around as if looking for the target of his trip.

Just a moment.

Leon used his Primarch-level perception to lock onto a group of people who exuded a strong aura of fear and cowardice.

I think the bastards who are more afraid of death than the knights and nuns are the ones who keep saying "God will lead us to victory!"

"Anyone or anything that does not believe in God is a sinful heretic"

The popes and bishops who said, "God will eventually reappear on earth."

After confirming that the scum of the "One Three" universe is in the garden behind the cathedral, it seems that they want to use the underground passage hidden in the core of the garden to escape from Vienna.

Boom, boom——!

Leon suddenly increased his speed, turning his huge body into an afterimage that could not be accurately captured and locked by the naked eye or even the advanced instruments and equipment in the main universe, and disappeared on the square.

???

The hundreds of knights and nuns stationed in the cathedral were all stunned, obviously not understanding what was going on.

As for the noble sons who followed Leon and gathered outside the church square, they knelt on the ground even more devoutly, marveling at the "miracle bestowed by God."

"That's not the Knight of Heaven!"

Suddenly, a Knight Commander who was over 2.5 meters tall and had a physique close to that of Astartes immediately reacted and shouted a warning:

"His target is the Pope! Quick! Quick!"

"What's the hurry?"

Before the leader of the Knights could finish his words, he was interrupted by Leon's cold words.

I don't know when Leon appeared in the center of the square again.

But the difference is that at this moment, Leon's left index finger and thumb are gently pinching the gorgeously dressed and plump Pope.

"Help. Save me!!"

The Pope, whose life and death were decided by Leon's left hand, struggled and screamed desperately out of extreme fear.

The Pope's clothes, which represented purity and piety, were quickly soaked by his excrement.

The stench suddenly "attacked" me.

Leon frowned when he smelled the smell, and quickly stretched out his left arm, keeping the Pope as far away from him as possible to prevent the Pope from spilling excrement and urine on his exclusive power armor when he struggled.

In fact, when he disappeared as a shadow just now, he had already entered the garden behind the church.

The guards who were responsible for protecting the Pope and the bishops had undergone more rigorous and sophisticated transformation surgeries than the Knights of the Order, and had eaten better cloned flesh and blood, and were as powerful as ordinary Astartes.

However, the result of their attack against the antigen was still that they were inevitably killed instantly.

There is no way. Unless God really "reappears on earth", there is no creature in the "One and Three" universe that can pose a substantial threat to the Prototype.

After instantly killing a group of church guards and a group of bishops who were of no use to him, Leon held the Pope in one hand and returned to the center of the church square.

at this time;

"Get rid of that heretic!"

"Rescue the Pope!"

Hundreds of knights and nuns finally realized that Leon was not a Heavenly Knight summoned by the Church to rescue and support them, but a member of the Human Empire camp.

The knights and nuns brandished their giant swords and spears, and pulled out guns with bullets dipped in holy water, preparing to launch an attack on Leon.

Unfortunately.

In Leon's focused eyes, the knight and the nun's various actions seemed to be in slow motion or even still.

As long as Leon wanted, he could free his right hand to wield the Lion King's giant sword, and in an instant, he could eliminate all the knights and nuns in the square.

But he didn't do that.

Instead, he freed his right hand, clenched his fist, and moved at a very fast speed.

The extremely weak force knocked out all the knights and nuns present.

In other words, Leon's control over his own power has reached the pinnacle. If the "careless" Riemann were to take action, the knight and the nun would have been turned into minced meat long ago.

Without using his psychic powers, the Primarch's physical strength alone was enough to lift a Paris-class frigate with one hand.

The limits of going all out are yet to be known.

Because the situation that required the Primarch to unleash his full potential had never occurred before.

Even when Sanguinius fought against Homelander, he was unable to use the maximum strength of his physical body.

Therefore, if the force was not properly controlled, the knights and nuns present would literally "collapse".

Just a few seconds later.

The church square fell into silence, and nearly a thousand noble descendants who were kneeling outside the square were in a daze.

The noble heirs had never considered the possibility that Leon was not a Knight of Heaven.

In their perception, a being with handsome appearance, sacred temperament, and gorgeous armor can only come from the heavenly plane.

The hell aspect represents filth, ugliness and stench.

After all, in their worldview, there is only heaven and hell. As for other human forces, they have never considered them at all, let alone human empires from other universes.

As for the reason why Leon did not kill, it was not because he was kind-hearted, but because he needed enough "living sacrifices".

To be valued by the Pope and be in charge of the defense of the cathedral, not all of them, but more than 90% of them should have absolute faith and loyalty to God and heaven.

After the 1st Company fully occupies Vienna, Hera can directly select those who meet the "sacrifice" conditions, which can save some time and avoid a lot of trouble.

At this moment, facing the stunned and stunned noble heir in front of him, Leon just used his left hand to exert a little force.

"No! No, please let me go! Don't kill me! You can let me do anything!!"

The Pope continued to cry and beg for mercy, and this time his crying caused him to release more excrement and urine.

"vomit"

The noble descendants who were closest to him vomited because of the Pope's ugly appearance and the disgusting smell and scene.

Even Leon, who had seen all kinds of scenes, couldn't help but wonder how much the Pope had eaten and drunk to be able to excrete all the time?

Of course, Leon did this not only to satisfy his dark taste, but also to use the images captured by the power armor to facilitate the Inquisition to preach in the "One Three" universe.

As the Primarch, Lion has the highest authority to understand the secrets of the Empire.

In addition, as the heir of the emperor, Leon knew that his father had been worshipped as a god by the people of the empire, and that this could not be cured rationally, so he was ready to let nature take its course and create a new department based on the Human Code, namely -

The state religion of the empire.

In addition, the Biological Department is also analyzing and researching the cloning flesh and blood technology of the "One Three" universe in order to create a special force specifically responsible for missionary work and fighting heresy, namely combat nuns and combat knights.

The Inquisition needed to concentrate on dealing with the affairs of the Warp, so in order to share the pressure, his father planned to establish the Imperial State Religion and the State Religion Forces.

The leak of the ugly footage of the Pope on January 3 will naturally greatly weaken people's faith.

Moreover, the "One Three" universe has no network and AI, and is simply unable to stop the construction and spread of the human empire.

After the Pope fell into a coma due to extreme panic, Leon showed disgust and increased the strength of his left hand.

Bang-!

The Pope's head fell to the ground like a watermelon and was crushed by Leon Shuo's left index finger and thumb.

Blood and brain tissue splattered everywhere.

This caused almost all of the noble descendants, who were already feeling unwell, to vomit.

They were spoiled and had no worries about food, shelter and transportation. They had never seen such a horrifying scene. They immediately shouted "Devil! He is a devil!", "Run! Run!" and other words, and everything disappeared.

At the same time, the main force of the Dark Angels' 1st Company had just completed its deployment and arrived on the ground, and the war that broke out in Vienna was nearing its end.

A thousand adult Astartes, three hundred Primarch bodyguards (Honor Guards), and even if tens of thousands of Knights of the Order and Sisters of the Church were stationed in Vienna, it would be of no avail.

Besides, there were only a little over 3,000 knights and nuns in Vienna.

It is true that they are the most elite in the entire Holy Roman Empire, but how can they resist the Astartes and the Honor Guard, who are also the most elite in the Human Empire?

With the support of thousands of Legion Hell Paratroopers, more than a hundred thousand auxiliary troops, and countless biological weapons and mechanical armies, the fall of Vienna was already a foregone conclusion.

Now, the Dark Angels' 1st Company was thinking that the time it would take from the time the Primarch gave the order to the time the full occupation of Vienna should be completed should not exceed forty minutes.

It didn't take long.

The sounds of gunfire and explosions in Vienna gradually subsided, replaced by the roar of engines of various air units.

The Holy Roman Empire, which has no air superiority and orbital control, and even all the forces in the "One Three" universe are equivalent to defenseless "chickens" facing the Dark Angels' 1st Fleet.

The thick clouds covering the Middle East would interfere with the accuracy of the fleet's high-altitude locking and orbital bombing. However, since the Hell Plane became the "asset" of the Human Empire, the thick clouds and toxic fog are rapidly dissipating and can no longer cause any interference to the 1st Fleet.

After the main force of the 1st Company wiped out the resistance forces loyal to the Holy Roman Empire, it handed over the task of maintaining public order to the joint reconnaissance force, biological weapons, and mechanical armies.

The Inquisition, which followed the fleet, also deployed a total of 500 Grey Knights and Greek Demigods to the city of Vienna.

By the time Hera arrived at the palace in Vienna on the Luna transport boat, the main force of the 1st Company, in coordination with the combat units of various departments, had gathered the captured nuns, knights and church-related personnel in the streets and squares near the palace.

The rear hatch of the Luna transport opened.

Hera, dressed in red and dignified, walked out of the cabin surrounded by four Greek minor gods.

Leon said directly to her: "Ms. Hera, please use your most proficient "spell" to help us Dark Angels select living sacrifices that are suitable for sacrifice."

"it is good."
