From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

As soon as he finished speaking, without giving the other party any chance to reply, Logan laughed and waved his hand, forcibly turning off the hard light screen next to him, and directly ended the communication with the human high-level of "15".

The disappearance of the screen seemed to symbolize that the fate of the top management of "One Five" had been sealed.

When the laughter died down, the bridge was also silent, with only the sound of the instruments running echoing.

"Follow the original plan."

Logan turned around, breaking the silence in the bridge, restrained his previous "unruly" behavior, and ordered:

"Let the shipboard AI quickly take control of Earth 15's Cerberus system. At the same time, it is imperative to dismantle all the enemy's military facilities and armed ships deployed in low-Earth orbit in the shortest possible time."

Having said that, Logan paused and continued to order:

"Notify the 2nd and 3rd assault platoons, the company guards, the auxiliary troops and the Hell Paratroopers, and follow me to launch an immediate raid on the capital of Earth .

The rest of the command platoon and support platoon remain on standby and high alert, ready to respond to any emergency at any time."

"Yes, company commander!"

The crew members in the bridge responded in unison, and then began to execute various orders and dispatches, making the bridge once again "noisy" and busy.

Logan nodded in satisfaction at these responses, then strode off the bridge and headed towards the flagship's drop dock.

Wearing a Hades-type Terminator power armor, every step he takes carries an oppressive feeling that cannot be ignored. His figure is like the embodiment of war, and he seems destined to become the ruler of this battle.

Soon after.

Logan entered his exclusive airdrop cabin and waited patiently for this "long-planned" raid to begin.

The whole process was just a routine for him, and the rhythm of war had already been ingrained in his bones.

Although he is not very old, he is definitely an elite veteran with extremely rich combat experience, and his intuition is far superior to others.

Sometimes, Logan seems to be acting recklessly based on instinct, but he can actually seize the initiative "accidentally".

The company's auxiliary troops, totaling more than 30,000, and more than 3,000 Hell Paratroopers, were also ready to go when the fleet sailed out of the jump space, ready for raids and airdrops.

As soon as Logan's order was issued, the 14th Fleet immediately began to move in an orderly and rapid manner like a perfectly functioning war machine.

Thousands of Ghost IV fighters, White-legged Falcons, and unmanned carrier-based aircraft swarmed out of the hangars of their respective motherships, and the fleet quickly approached the "One Five" Earth.

The Cerberus defense system attempted a counterattack, trying to lock onto the invading fleet and launch missiles.

However, at the moment the defense system was activated, the intelligent AI assisting the 14th Fleet had already hacked into the system core and completely controlled the entire Cerberus system.

As a result, the defense system's locking and missile launch were all forcibly interrupted, becoming like useless decorations, unable to stop the offensive of the Wild Wolf 14th Fleet.

The twenty or so ships of the Colonial Marines fell into a brief chaos when they saw that the Cerberus system failed to launch any expected offensive and its defenses were completely paralyzed.

The captains and commanders of each ship realized that the technological level of the Wild Wolf 14th Company was far superior to theirs.

But out of desperation, the Colonial Marines' ships had to assemble quickly and prepare for a "head-on" confrontation to face this inevitable space confrontation.

The Marines would not sit idly by and quickly dispatched a large number of carrier-based aircraft to try to confront the fleet of the Wild Wolf 14th Company.

But the number of their carrier-based aircraft pales in comparison.

Less than one-tenth of the 14th Company of the Wild Wolf.

The reason is not difficult to understand. Human warships in the "Alien" universe are generally small in size, with specifications usually between 300 and 500 meters, and the hangar capacity of these ships is therefore limited.

The number of carrier-based aircraft is limited, and they are more for supporting ground combat operations, and cannot compete with the Wolf Fleet, which focuses on air combat.

Even so, the Marine Corps' EVAC-3 air and space fighter is still their main model that they are proud of.

This fighter jet is technologically advanced in the "Alien" universe. Compared with its competitor, the MiG-730 of the "Human Progress Alliance", the EVAC-3 has significant advantages in many aspects.

EVAC-3 is not only capable of carrying a large number of bombs, but also has an excellent performance in ground and anti-ship attacks. It also has a unique cold storage function that can protect the pilot's life in an emergency, greatly improving the pilot's survival rate in long-term combat or critical situations.

Its mobility and agility were demonstrated the moment it was released by the Marines, making it worthy of being the "pinnacle" of the "Alien" universe.

However, the cruelty of the battlefield lies in the fact that even the strongest fighter jet on one's side will still be easily crushed when faced with higher-level technology.

Whether it is the EVAC-3 or the MiG-730, when placed in front of the Phantom IV fighter and the White-legged Falcon, they immediately seem to be unable to cope with the situation.

The Ghost and White-legged Falcon series have undergone many upgrades and modifications, using cutting-edge technologies such as Forerunner technology, and have already formed an absolute generation gap over EVAC-3.

Now, the carrier-based aircraft formation of the 14th Wolf Company can be said to be a true "air overlord".

The "air battle" broke out unexpectedly, but the 14th Company Fleet did not engage in naval artillery fire with the Marines. Instead, the Marine Corps' EVAC-3 formation quickly came to an end under the all-round suppression of the Phantom Fighter, the White-legged Falcon and the unmanned fighter.

These EVAC-3 fighters had no time to lock onto their targets, and didn't even have the chance to open fire, before they were mercilessly attacked by Gauss spike cannons and metal hydrogen bombs.

Boom—boom—!

In an instant, the dark space between the two fleets was suddenly cut through by dazzling blue and white projectiles, like deadly blades.

The subsequent metallic hydrogen explosion was like the eruption of hundreds of miniature suns, seemingly lighting up "every corner" of this universe.

In just a few seconds, the pilots of the EVAC-3 fighters were swallowed up by hundreds of miniature suns, and all life in the cockpit disappeared.

Had another Imperial Legion, such as the Blood Angels, Flame Lizards, or the Ultramarines been in charge of this campaign, they might have taken a more gentle approach.

For example, using the Gauss cannon to destroy the EVAC-3's engine would make these pilots lose the ability to continue fighting, rather than killing them directly.

After the battle, the Legion's rescue team can also send specialists to try to save local pilots trapped in out-of-control fighter planes.

Such behavior can not only demonstrate the empire's benevolence, but also avoid unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice, and enhance the legitimacy and acceptance of the rule.

However, the Space Wolves do things very differently.

How could they care about these things when they were regarded as "barbarians" by their brothers?

Logan is a "pragmatic" person.

He was well aware of the empire's ruling principles, which was to minimize unnecessary casualties among compatriots during the integration phase.

The definition and scale of the three words "as much as possible" almost entirely depend on the judgment of the on-site commander.

What Logan wanted was a quick victory, to disintegrate the enemy's resistance as soon as possible. As for those EVAC-3 fighter pilots who lost their ability to move, he was not unwilling to spend extra energy to rescue them.

Logan was unsure if destroying the EVAC-3's engines would save the lives of the pilots.

After all, without engine power, the EVAC-3's life support systems would likely cease to function.

In outer space, the normal operation of the life support system is crucial, which is directly related to the survival of the pilot.

Logan also judged that with the current combat progress of the Wild Wolf 14th Fleet, it would take at least half an hour to completely control the low-Earth orbit of "One Five".

By the time the fleet is able to free up manpower for rescue, it may be three to five hours later.

If it is true as he predicted, the local pilots who have lost their life support systems will experience extremely terrible psychological torture during this period of time.

Trapped in a small cockpit, unable to move, isolated, and having difficulty breathing, he gradually lost his sense of the outside world until all the oxygen and the remaining mattress were exhausted, and finally he suffocated to death in this cold and silent universe in pain and despair.

Rather than letting these pilots wait for death in endless despair, Logan thought it would be better to give them a quick death.

The precise strikes by our own carrier-based aircraft can ensure that EAVC-3 is destroyed instantly, and local pilots do not have to endure long-term terrifying torture.

Although Logan's decision seemed cold and ruthless, in his eyes, it was a merciful measure.

After the war, he will arrange for the ship-borne intelligent AI to retrieve the personal information of these pilots, archive their identity records, and provide their families with corresponding pensions and compensation.

Logan believes that providing adequate compensation can effectively stabilize public sentiment, reduce rebellious sentiment and consolidate the foundation of rule.

The goal of all this is to ensure the smooth integration of the empire in the new universe. No matter how cruel the process is, it must ultimately point to a more stable and prosperous future.

Although he was nicknamed a "barbarian" by his brothers, Logan knew deeply that the ultimate goal of war was not to gain a short-term victory, but to establish a lasting peace, even if the price of this peace was the baptism of blood and fire.

When the EVAC-3 carrier-based aircraft formation was completely destroyed, the main battle between the two fleets began.

But the outcome of the battle remains no suspense.

The battleships of the 14th Wolf Company completely destroyed the Colonial Marines' fleet array with just one round of secondary gun fire and dozens of conventional missiles.

When facing the Wild Wolf 14th Fleet, the other side also had no ability to fight back and collapsed instantly.

One of the Marine Corps' aircraft carriers became the target of "special attention" by the Wild Wolf 14th Company.

Of course, a ship is not a fighter plane. When the engine stops, the personnel inside the ship have a greater chance of survival, and they also have certain surrender and utilization value.

Therefore, the 14th Wolf Company Fleet only destroyed the engines of the Marine Corps ships and did not use the "overpowered" electromagnetic main guns.

Otherwise, if the electromagnetic main guns of the 14th Wolf Company were involved in the attack, those ships and their tens of thousands of crew members would be "reduced to ashes" in an instant, and there would be no way to launch a so-called counterattack or find a possibility of escape.

Therefore, Logan's orders specifically called for destroying only the engines of the Marine ships, rather than completely turning them into cosmic dust.

In just over ten minutes, the Colonial Marines' defense was completely defeated.

The carrier-based aircraft formation of the 14th Wolf Company then accelerated its advance and headed straight for two large space stations equipped with fixed artillery and missile silos.

At the same time, hundreds of Pelican transport planes, Silver Gulls, and Thunder assault boats followed closely behind, ready to start boarding operations.

These transport vehicles contained not only the auxiliary troops of the 14th Wild Wolf Company, but also several Wild Wolf tactical teams, which were able to forcibly break into the Marines' ships and space stations to further expand their victory.

For the Marines trapped aboard ships and space stations, a sense of despair grew.

At the beginning of the battle, they might still be able to maintain some confidence, hoping that the powerful Cerberus system and military space station would give them a chance to fight back.

However, when they actually clash with the elite forces of the 14th Company of the Wild Wolves, especially those auxiliary troops who have been injected with the Inquis serum, and the adult Astartes who are each like a "giant", they will experience what utter fear and despair are.

At that time, they will be subjected to "violent anesthesia" and become prisoners of the Wild Wolf 14th Company.

As for whether to select qualified elites from among them and incorporate them into the empire's armed forces to become one of the empire's forces, we have to wait until the war is completely over before discussing it.

And Logan Sigurd will personally decide how to deal with these prisoners.

Soon, the Wild Wolf 14th Fleet broke through the "One Five" Earth Defense Network without any suspense.

The Cerberus systems, which were once considered essential and indispensable by the government, ultimately failed to play the expected role.

Faced with the crushing of the ship-borne intelligent AI and absolute firepower, everything seems pale and powerless.

Followed by.

The fleet of the 14th Wolf Company began to slow down in an orderly manner, gradually adjusting the ship's posture to ensure that the belly of each ship in the fleet was aimed at the "One Five" Earth.

At this time, the fleet began to disperse, and warships of all levels went to their respective designated airspace for deployment.

The Late Autumn class, which is the core of the entire fleet, broke away from the formation alone, and finally, like a giant beast about to descend, quietly lingered on the sunny side of North America.

Then--

Brush——brush——!!

Then, a large number of airdrop capsules were ejected from the ship.

These airdrop pods carried Hell Troopers, Space Wolves, Tyrants and Battle Mechs, and instantly left the Late Autumn-class airdrop dock.

When the airdrop capsules began to break through the atmosphere, they fell toward the ground at an extremely fast speed like meteors.

It won't take long.

The capital city located on the east coast of America appeared in the observation field of the airdrop warehouse.

Logan Sigurd, who was in the exclusive airdrop cabin, could clearly see through the helmet screen that there were also a large number of giant buildings in the city.

At the same time, he also discovered that many interceptor missiles were coming towards them at an alarming speed.

Seeing this scene, Logan immediately laughed out loud:

"Hahaha! Wolf cubs! Let us teach the humans of this universe how to fight!"
