From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 459 Battlefront Scene "Completely Defeating" the Great Demon's Combat Power Laughter

Boom—boom—!!!

The battle in the underground city was still in full swing. The shock waves from various explosions mixed with flying metal fragments, dyeing the surrounding scene with a layer of flames.

Ri~bang bang bang————!!

The continuous outpouring of the rotating bolter cannon penetrated the entire underground space like thunder, bringing a nerve-wracking sense of oppression.

Chris and his crew had just walked out of the engine room of the Thunderhawk gunship when they saw a raging war in the ruins in the distance. The trajectories of the explosive arrows left bright streaks of light, piercing through the twisted, fat heretic figure.

More than a thousand man-eating sharks and tens of thousands of clones and Terminators advanced in an orderly manner in this chaos.

Overhead, two Thunderhawk gunboats roared past, passing over Chris and the others with strong wakes.

Even at a short distance, everyone could still see the hull of the gunboat, with scorch marks and craters left by the exchange of fire.

It seemed that the two Thunderhawk gunboats had already dropped all the bombs they were carrying, returned to the surface along the gap tunnel, and were preparing to go to the Phoenix-class support boat hovering in the landing zone to receive maintenance and replenish ammunition.

The burning exhaust jet disappeared at the end of their sight, leaving behind a brief silence, but it was soon broken by another round of explosions coming from afar.

"."

Chris stood among the ruins, watching the returning Thunderhawk gunship.

His face beneath the helmet revealed a hint of solemnity, and his hands silently clenched their weapons.

You know, the Thunderhawk gunship is an extremely sturdy aerial vehicle on the imperial battlefield, equipped with energy shields and thick hulls, enough to withstand most firepower.

However, the hull of the returning Thunderhawk was covered with bullet holes and burn marks of varying depths, and its shield had long been exhausted, with only the armor holding it up.

It seems that the two Thunderhawk gunboats need immediate repairs, otherwise they may not be able to continue in the next battle.

At the same time, this means that the firepower of the heretics should not be underestimated.

It can only be said that it was not that the heretics were too weak, but that Tiberus and the Man-eating Shark were too strong, which resulted in the heretics, who were like a tide, being forcibly repelled and dispersed, directly tipping the balance of the war towards the side of the Empire.

The fact that this fierce battle has lasted until now is entirely due to the excellent combat capabilities of the man-eating sharks.

The company tore through the heretics' defenses like a sharp blade, and Tiberus dominated the battlefield with overwhelming force.

But Chris also knew that he must not take this situation lightly.

Those believers corrupted by Nurgle, especially the Jiralhanae and Jackals who became his minions, not only look more hideous and disgusting, but their charging momentum is comparable to that of "war beasts".

Before the Man-eating Shark Fleet arrived, it took only one round of attack to wipe out all 500 clone soldiers who had the advantage of terrain, leaving them without any chance to fight back.

The ODST and special forces teams that subsequently defended the surface suffered even more severe blows.

Without timely follow-up support, even these elite troops might have been wiped out.

Then, Chris called up a thumbnail star map on the helmet screen, showing the battlefield situation of the Queconto galaxy and its surrounding star fields.

The 36th Fleet of the Imperial Navy is still following the original plan to wipe out the ordinary remnants of the Covenant and space pirates, while the various companies of the Dawn Raiders are also responsible for the support.

At the same time, the 1st Fleet of the Thousand Sons, which had crossed the space gate first and completed its deployment first, was also rushing towards the Queconto system.

However, a small fleet belonging to the Dawn Raiders has already entered the jump space, and its destination is also Queconto.

The one leading that fleet was none other than the Primarch of the Dawn Raiders, Mortarion.

Seeing this, Chris finally calmed down a little.

He was well aware of the extraordinary power of the Primarchs, especially Mortarion, who was unrivaled in the field of chemistry and could be said to be a specialist in defeating heretics and demonic creatures who believed in Nurgle.

If the Dawn Raiders fleet can arrive in time, the current complicated war situation will undoubtedly be greatly eased, and even completely establish victory.

Although the fighting power displayed by Tiberius was shocking and even the shark brothers were extremely brave, Chris always remained calm in his judgment of reality.

He understood that if he encountered a "giant" in the subspace like the Great Demon, even a strong man like Tiberus would have difficulty in winning.

Not only does that creature possess a body that is strong enough to transcend the laws of physics, it also carries a terrifying power of corruption that can easily turn an entire battlefield into a chaotic and corrupt place.

Only a being like the Primarch can completely defeat the Great Demon, or the Emperor himself can do the deed.

However, since the initial unification war of the Halo universe came to a close, the Emperor has returned to the Prime Universe, rarely leaving the Imperial Palace unless necessary.

Such an arrangement was undoubtedly in the greater interests of the Empire, but it also meant that they could no longer expect direct intervention from the Emperor in their battles in this star region.

Therefore, Chris could only secretly hope that the Jiralhanae and Gnolls, who had become heretics, did not perform or complete a certain ritual, and then brought subspace creatures like the Great Demon into the physical universe.

Otherwise, both their "mortal" troops and the elite forces of the man-eating sharks may face an irreversible disaster.

"This is Tiberius."

A calm and stern voice suddenly came from the communication channel.

Tiberus's emotionless tone revealed an unquestionable pressure, and he issued a concise order:

"Everyone, please prepare for the raid."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tiberus cut off the communication.

At the same time, an updated map data appeared on the screen in front of Chris and others, and the front-line area to their north was marked as the meeting point.

"let's go."

Chris did not pay much attention to Tiberus' indifference, nor did he waste much time. He led more than a dozen agents equipped with nano combat suits and armed with high-powered hard-light guns to rush to the front line of the position immediately.

On the way forward, Chris and his team of agents witnessed shocking battle scenes.

Countless wasps, reduced to heretical creatures, swarmed in.

They have huge "moth"-like wings growing on their backs. Every vibration stirs up strange air currents and they quickly pounce on the positions already occupied by the man-eating shark company, as if they are determined to crush the man-eating sharks with their numerical advantage.

However, the position's defense line did not fall into chaos.

But the clone soldiers equipped with heavy mechanical skeletons, miniature missile launch bays, and rotating Gauss machine guns in their hands never let the barrage stop, forming an almost impenetrable wall of barrage, ruthlessly harvesting the wasp swarm.

On a deeper front, the man-eating sharks stood as solid as iron towers.

In particular, the Shark Gunner, armed with a 1.0 caliber bolter, is specifically designed to target those deformed and swollen Wasp variants.

These variants act like mobile heavy bombers on the battlefield, with each landing or impact accompanied by a devastating explosion.

However, the precise firepower of the Man-eating Shark made it difficult for these threats to approach the core of the position.

Even so, the enemy is not completely helpless.

Rushing to the front line were a large number of jackals that were swollen like meat balls.

These strange creatures were obviously given some kind of suicidal mission. Under the cover of the heretic firepower, they actually broke through the outermost line of defense under the dense rain of bullets.

Boom—Boom—!!

A dull explosion sounded suddenly. After the jackals charged to their limit, their bodies swelled rapidly and then exploded from the inside.

In an instant, dark green poisonous fog filled the air, accompanied by highly corrosive strong acid liquid splashing everywhere.

Phew——!

The first targets to be affected were infantry vehicles with magnetic levitation chassis.

Their outer armor quickly began to emit bursts of white smoke under the erosion of the venom. Although they had not yet been completely paralyzed, the surface material had obviously begun to fall off, revealing the inner mechanical skeleton.

The clone pilot adjusted the travel speed through the emergency system, trying to avoid further invasion of fog.

In comparison, the main battle tank, which also uses a magnetic levitation chassis, is more resilient.

They are equipped with energy shields, which not only resist the direct corrosion of the venom, but also isolate some of the damage from the poisonous fog.

Although the shield's energy fluctuations show significant consumption, it only takes a moment to recharge and can quickly return to combat status.

These behemoths continued their steady advance, forming an impassable iron barrier against the heretics.

But the clones with relatively simple equipment will suffer a lot.

The individual armor and combat uniforms on their bodies were simply unable to withstand the invasion of corrosive liquids and completely collapsed in just a few seconds.

When the exposed skin comes into direct contact with the thick fog, it reacts violently in an instant. The flesh is corroded into pits and even the tragic scene of bones and internal organs can be seen.

Then, the highly toxic microorganisms carried in the thick fog invaded the bodies of the clones at an incredible speed. Not only did they corrode the flesh, they also quickly occupied the nerve centers, forcing the corroded clones to become extremely threatening walking dead.

Just as the eyes of these soldiers gradually glowed with an ominous green light, and it seemed that they might turn against their allies at any time——

Boom. Boom!

A series of low explosions sounded.

The self-destruct chips implanted in the back of the clones' brains were triggered, and their heads exploded one after another, completely destroying their brain stems and preventing the possibility of the heretics using their corpses to increase their combat effectiveness.

More than a dozen man-eating shark Astartes were also harmed by the thick fog and venom.

These "giants" wearing heavy titanium power armor were shrouded in it.

However, their energy shield easily resolved the crisis.

The shield's light was rippled continuously under the strong erosion of the thick fog and venom, but it remained unbreakable.

And they did not retreat at all, but became even more angry, and issued a deafening metallic war cry -

"Dead! Die! Die!"

"Dirty bastard!"

With anger like a ignited flame, the giants were no longer satisfied with defending the front line, but quickly advanced to the front line.

A man-eating shark lifted the remains of a wasp-morph with one hand, smashed it to the ground, and then shredded it completely with a chainsaw axe;

The other one swung the power hammer in his hand, turning several ghost-faced beasts that tried to break through into bloody mist.

Their movements were quick and decisive, and with precise bolter fire, they cleared out all the heretical creatures at the front of the position.

As the man-eating sharks advanced, the range of their position was forcibly expanded by dozens of meters.

They were like mobile fortresses, disrupting the attack rhythm of the heretic creatures. The originally surging enemy tide was torn into multiple small battle fragments, creating more clearing opportunities for subsequent long-range firepower.

This was a massacre without mercy, but also a battle that made people's blood boil.

No matter whether it is the "poorly equipped" and soulless clones or the fully armed man-eating sharks, everyone is writing a fearless chapter of fighting against heresy with their life and rage in this swamp shrouded in thick fog and venom.

Of course, Chris and his team did not pay too much attention to the dynamics of the entire battlefield.

Their goal was clear, and they soon arrived at the meeting point marked on the map.

This place is located at the outermost part of the northern section of the front and is one of the relatively stable frontline fulcrums in the current battle.

Judging from the ruins all around, this area was obviously a residential area consisting of more than a dozen huge buildings before the heretics completely occupied the underground city.

The outer walls of the megastructure were originally completely covered with living plants, forming a strange and heretical style, but now, those plants have long been burned to ashes under the bombardment of the man-eating shark company.

The once swamp-like corrupted area on the ground was also "evaporated" by the high-temperature explosion and the blazing flames, leaving only a piece of charred land, emitting a suffocating smell of burnt and decay.

In the center of the ruins, Tiberus was leading a hundred company guards to conduct a brief replenishment and combat readiness adjustment.

Dozens of small aerial hunters were surrounding them.

Through precise manipulation, these hunters quickly transported storage boxes filled with explosive bombs, condensed batteries and other ammunition to the man-eating sharks.

In addition, many Aerial Hunters extended their robotic arms to assist Tiberus and the Heavy Guards in replacing ammunition boxes, battery boxes, and micro-missile launch bays.

As soon as he got closer, Chris found that the zoomed-in radar on the helmet screen had been updated by the other party again.

A location about ten kilometers away from their location was marked by Tiberus with a red inverted "▼" triangle.

The other party also said on the communication: "There are extremely abnormal energy fluctuations in the marked area. According to the information provided by your senior management, it is very likely that the group of bastards are performing some kind of summoning ritual.

So, we now have two options.

One is to escort your group of agents into the enemy, destroy the scumbag summoning rituals, and capture high-value heretics for interrogation.

The second is to evacuate this place and directly implement the extermination order against Quekangtuo. "

Hearing this, Chris thought briefly and prepared to give a reply.

"Hahaha--!"

However, before Chris could speak, the deep laughter with a very nasal tone, which had been heard when Tiberus and the company guards had just arrived in the underground city, echoed again.

The most important thing is that the location marked by Tiberus also emits an extremely dazzling green light.
