From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 483 The situation is chaotic "Brother, don't hide it"

Boom - boom -! ! !
As the deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire block, the air seemed to be torn apart in an instant, and the shock wave destroyed everything around it like the collapse of the sky and the earth.

The Titan mechas completely dismantled the Emperor's Children's defenses on this main road, and the dust and ruins raised made the area fall into a dead silence.

The Emperor's Children's vulnerable Chaos believers and demonic creatures were completely annihilated in this devastating blow.

Even Lucius and his veteran subordinates who had been fighting for thousands or even tens of thousands of years disappeared without a trace under this blow.

Apparently, due to the arrival of the follow-up troops from the 2nd Company of the Titan Mechs and the Sons of Man, they chose to abandon their original invasion plan and instead fled frantically towards their "hometown".

"."

But the captain of the 2nd Company, Sol Tarvitz, did not feel relaxed at all because of Lucius's evacuation.

After all, the "big demon" that looked like their original body was still wreaking havoc in the New Argo Central Square, about four kilometers north of their location.

Tarvitz carefully observed the dynamics of the entire battlefield through the real-time feedback on the helmet screen.

The shared perspective provided by drones and aerial vehicles allowed him to fully grasp the battle situation around him.

The situation in the central square became increasingly complicated. The Chaos Space Marines that emerged from the warp were wearing corrupted heavy armor and exuding an aura of evil and madness.

They are intertwined with the distorted creatures around them, like an unstoppable demonic army.

Compared to the enemies they had just repelled, the powerful strength and combat experience displayed by those Chaos Space Marines far exceeded any of the trash they had just faced.

As soon as the incident occurred on New Argo, the 2nd Fleet, which was stationed in the low-Earth orbit of Harvest, quickly launched an emergency deployment.

Tarvitz airdropped the 2nd and 3rd assault platoons, as well as the ODSTs (Omnitroopers) and elite veterans on board into the city. Their destination was the vicinity of the "pillar of light" that reached the sky, which was also the source of the Chaos invasion.

Then, Taviz arranged a large number of transport formations to provide sufficient troops to the 2nd and 3rd assault platoons.

Now in the central square, the Sons of Humanity responsible for curbing the erosion of chaos and evacuating the masses are none other than the 2nd Assault Platoon.

In order to enhance its defensive capabilities, the 2nd Assault Platoon also received support from two knight mechas, as well as more than auxiliary troops and various mechanical and biological weapons.

But compared with the "big demon", these powers seem insignificant.

At this time, Tarvitz saw that the "big demon" was getting closer and closer to the position of the 2nd Assault Platoon. He knew that the current situation had become extremely critical. If he did not make adjustments in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

Then he immediately opened the communication and ordered: "Rilano! What are you doing? Evacuate immediately! Do not engage in direct confrontation with the big demon!"

As soon as Tarvitz finished speaking, a loud noise came from the other end of the communication channel, mixed with irregular gunshots.

A few seconds later, the voice of the 2nd Assault Platoon Leader named Ruilano finally broke through the noise, sounding extremely urgent:

"We... Bang! We have more than 100,000 people here and we have to evacuate. We cannot accept the evacuation."

Rilano's voice was difficult and anxious, and his words revealed a strong sense of helplessness.

The chaos of the battlefield and the fluctuations of chaotic psionic energy caused serious interference to communications. The signals were intermittent and it was difficult to capture clear content.

The constant sounds of explosions, gunfire, and bursts of sparks in the background all tell of the predicament that the 2nd Assault Platoon is facing.

As massive chaos poured into the central square, the 2nd Assault Platoon was facing unprecedented pressure.

With the help of the bird's-eye view transmitted back by the drone, Tarvitz could see that the 2nd Assault Platoon and the accompanying auxiliary troops were doing their best to cover the evacuation of civilians.

One escape route after another was opened up at the connecting points of subway stations and underground shelters, and dense crowds of people poured towards the safe area like a tide.

Seeing this, Tarvitz understood that as soon as New Argo was attacked by Chaos, the citizens who were relaxing, entertaining, and strolling in the center of the city would naturally choose to go to the nearest underground shelter.

However, this ordinary mode of refuge is obviously unable to cope with the special threat of chaos.

Their methods of attack are far beyond the comprehension of the physical universe.

The sturdy shelters and heavy protective doors are nothing more than fragile barriers in their eyes. Both the fallen Emperor's children and the deformed Chaos creatures can easily destroy and infiltrate these seemingly safe shelters.

Furthermore, no matter how tenaciously the Sons of Man’s troops defended, they were ultimately no match for the Chaos Tide, especially when facing that “Big Demon”, where the pressure was doubled.

The "big demon" was huge in size and had a terrifying aura, and every time it moved forward it was accompanied by a devastating energy impact.

Even so, it doesn't seem to be picking up the pace.
No, to be more precise, it seemed that it had no intention of speeding up its twisting and crawling, but was also enjoying the negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, and despair of the 2nd Assault Platoon and the people.

It approached the position of the 2nd Assault Platoon like the god of death, and the surrounding Chaos creatures and Emperor's Children became more fanatical because of its presence.

As the most core threat on the battlefield, it not only overwhelms the entire field, but the chaotic psionic energy it releases also interferes with the communication and command system of the Sons of Man, making the already tense battle situation even more chaotic.

In the face of this catastrophe, Tarvitz was right to order the company to avoid direct confrontation with the "Great Demon".

After all, any head-on confrontation would only lead to the total collapse of the troops.

But as a commander, a warrior serving the Emperor and the Empire, he knew that the 2nd Assault Platoon, also Sons of Man, would never abandon those innocent civilians.

Even if the enemy in front of them is extremely powerful, the unarmed civilians are still those they must protect.

In response, Tarvitz took a deep breath, opened the communication channel again, and gave a decisive order:
"Titan mechas rush to the central square immediately, and all company guards immediately follow me to provide support! Be sure to evacuate all civilians as safely as possible before the main force arrives!"

His voice was sonorous and powerful, with unquestionable firmness.

As for life and death?

Tarvitz and all the children of men had long since forgotten this question.

From the outbreak of the Chaos invasion to now, the 2nd Company has lost more than half of its combat power. Every charge and every defense is a fight against the Chaos forces at the cost of lives.

The Primarch, who was originally at the other end of the Harvest Planet, still needed about ten minutes to reach the battlefield, but the battle of New Argo had completely entered a white-hot stage.

Faced with an endless tide of enemies, the soldiers of the 2nd Assault Platoon had no time to pay attention to orders to retreat or avoid fighting. All their attention was focused on the task of rescuing and protecting civilians.

In the interweaving of artillery fire and chaotic psychic energy, the Astartes, ODST, auxiliary troops, elite veterans, and subhuman soldiers cooperated tacitly and built lines of defense with their flesh and blood. Even though the enemy had an overwhelming advantage in numbers and the pressure brought by the "Great Demon" was suffocating, they still did not retreat.

For these fighters, protecting civilians is a higher belief than their own lives.

Every soldier in the Imperial Army knows that whether it is an Astartes, ODST or other elite troops, from the perspective of military value alone, they are obviously much more important than ordinary unarmed citizens.

However, in the concept of the Lord's Universe Empire, the lives and souls of fellow human beings are priceless.

Regardless of the abilities of these civilians, they carry the future and hope of mankind.

This concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of every soldier, so that even when they are faced with a situation where they are sure to die, they will not hesitate to stand in front of civilians.

At the same time, on the commercial and entertainment street, sandwiched between the 2nd Assault Platoon's defensive line and the Chaos Forces' charge;
Boom. Boom
Clang..clang
The sounds of gunfire and explosions came from all directions.

The place was filled with smoke, the smell of burning gunpowder, and a pungent "fishy" smell.

The aftermath of the explosion left shocking cracks on the streets, and the fierce battle destroyed everything around, leaving the ground and the road surface devastated as if they had been torn apart.

The current commercial and entertainment streets no longer have the prosperity and stability they once had. Instead, they have become a hellish mess, with only ruins and chaos left.

The towering megastructure collapsed into a burning ruin, with broken steel bars twisted in the flames.

The exterior walls of the large shopping mall were covered with bullet holes and broken pieces, and the shelves inside had long been scattered and filled with ashes.

Those shops that were once teeming with goods are now only left with shattered ruins.

Most importantly, the area is almost devoid of survivors, yet is filled with large numbers of lone Chaos creatures, heretics, and fallen Emperor's Children.

They wandered among the ruins like hungry hounds, looking for life that had not yet been completely slaughtered.

This place has completely turned into a hellish scene, not only because of the fighting, ruin and chaos, but also because of Chaos' crazy "indulgence" and atrocities.

On the streets, one can occasionally see captured citizens whose fate is even more tragic than death.

Those who believe in the evil god of chaos will torture these innocent people in the most blasphemous and twisted ways.

The Emperor's Children would cruelly cut into the bodies of the citizens, cut out their reproductive organs and breasts, and inject corrupting agents to maintain their vitality.

Citizens who lost vital organs were not relieved, but were forced to struggle in extreme pain and fear to satisfy the Emperor's Children's endless greed for extreme emotions.

Whether it is the main universe or the Astartes in "Warhammer 40k", they can almost be called "sexually apathetic".

Of course, this does not mean that the Astartes have lost their fertility, but that they are simply able to "control" and avoid being disturbed by emotions caused by physiological reactions.

But the Astartes who fell into Chaos and chose to betray had various desires.

They will naturally use their own preferred means to satisfy and please themselves and the evil gods they serve.

The screams of the victims echoed in the empty streets, bearing witness to the misfortune of this place.

The remaining buildings among the ruins looked like twisted monsters in the light of fire and shadow, while the Chaos creatures, heretics and Emperor's Children among them made the area full of despair.

The commercial and entertainment street no longer has the bright lights and revelry of the past, but has turned into a doomsday catastrophe for the human spirit and body.

At this time, in the messy parking lot of a large shopping mall——

"Brother, stop wasting time. What's the point of hiding? We've seen through your little tricks a long time ago."

"Hand over those kids obediently, and maybe we'll consider letting you die more swiftly."

"Hahaha, of course, you can also join us and ravage those little bastards. After tasting it once, you will be able to savor it forever."

The husky voice revealed a teasing and nasal tone, and it echoed in the parking lot.

Three burly sons of the Fallen Emperor were seen pacing and searching in the abandoned parking lot.

Their faces, bodies, helmets, and armor are integrated into one, and even their jaws and cheekbones have grown sharp bone spurs and twisted tentacles, emitting a disgusting smell of corruption.

This parking lot used to be a parking lot for civilian hovercrafts. It was usually busy with traffic, but now it is filled with a gloomy and oppressive feeling.

Rows of hovercrafts were quietly parked here, their surfaces covered with dust and debris from the explosion.

Apparently, when the Chaos Invasion occurred, many citizens evacuated to underground shelters before they could even drive away their vehicles.

As for the "brothers" mentioned by the three Sons of the Emperor, that is, a non-commissioned officer of the Sons of Man, they were in a large storage room in this aerial parking lot.

The shutter door of the utility room was closed tightly, and the space inside was not very spacious. After all, it was packed full and seemed extremely cramped.

Moreover, there was a group of children aged eleven or twelve in the utility room.

They were wearing school uniforms, their faces still full of immaturity, fear and despair.

Apparently, they went to the mall together after school, but they happened to encounter the sudden invasion of Chaos Forces.

The condition of this sergeant can be described as precarious.

He should have been wearing a complete set of Sons of Man Titanium VI power armor, but his helmet had been severely damaged in battle and was forced to be discarded.

His short silver hair stood out in the dim light, and his strong features were stained with blood.

There was a hideous scar on his brow bone. Although the bleeding had stopped, the dried blood covered the left half of his cheek, making him look even more miserable.

There was a shocking penetrating wound on the right side of his chest armor, and the exposed armor fragments and dark red bloodstains were particularly eye-catching.

To make matters worse, his power backpack had been completely destroyed, and he could only rely on the backup energy from the nanosuit to keep the power armor running.

His breathing became heavy, and every rise and fall seemed extremely laborious, but his hands still did not tremble.

In addition, the most "embarrassing" thing is that all the ammunition on him has been used up, and he only has a shock dagger and a chainsaw sword left.
