Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 24 Dead Titan

The sudden arrival of the Ultramarines reinforcements disrupted the Word Bearers' formation. The Shadow Blade tanks fired continuously, sending all the detected Word Bearers vehicle units into the sky.

There has always been a consensus in the military field that anti-vehicle weapons are often more effective when used against infantry.

Even a Space Marine is no better than a mortal auxiliary soldier when facing a heavy tank that is at an advantageous distance and has already locked onto its target.

The anger of the loyalists resounded throughout the battlefield, and the losses of the Word Bearers rose rapidly in a short period of time, so they had to take a defensive stance and retreat temporarily. After the Space Marines withdrew, the morale of the mortal believers of the Word Bearers finally began to collapse.

No matter how the leading cultists encouraged and threatened them, the subspace existence they chanted became weaker and weaker. They began to run in all directions, but kept falling like straw under the continuous fire pursuit. The corpses were everywhere, mixed with the civilians they slaughtered.

"Captain Sedans! I've finally been waiting for you!"

Ventanus' heart was surging, but he held on until the reinforcements arrived. The Ultramarines in other places had a common understanding: they were reorganizing, they were gathering, and they were sounding the clarion call for a counterattack.

Calth suffered heavy casualties, and the Ultramarines bled dry.

The reinforcements led by Captain Sedans were actually a mixed force, consisting of the disbanded 8th, 3rd, and 9th Companies. At this moment, they put aside the way of war emphasized by the Legion and used the lessons learned in this brutal war to update the laws of war of the Extreme Marines.

The Word Bearers were unable to kill the Ultramarines, even though they had suffered too many casualties and sacrifices in the past, but the Word Bearers' expectations were still broken.

They had used every means at their disposal, from treachery in space to traps on the ground that could only wound the Ultramarines but not kill them.

Even though they had greatly overestimated the strength of the Thirteenth Legion, the facts spoke for themselves that they still underestimated the Extreme Marines.

What's worse is that although the Ultramarines are seriously injured, they are completely enraged by pain and hatred. The fire of revenge is burning in the entire Calth system. The counterattack of the Ultramarines is turning the entire battle situation in a direction that is unfavorable to the Word Bearers.

In order to reverse the unfavorable situation on the local battlefield, a huge Titan machine appeared about 50 kilometers southeast of the Global Museum.

The Extreme Marines' aviary discovered the traces of the Titan. Even on the complicated battlefield, the movement of the Titan's divine machine was still absolutely eye-catching.

"It's a Warlord-class Titan, and there are two escorting Predator Titans!"

Ventanus roared, that was a Titan, the upper limit of the power on the surface.

What's more, the Titans that came were not reconnaissance Titans such as Warhound Titans, but real battle Titans. They were the most commonly used Titan machines in the Empire, with adamantium armor and six void shield generators, armed with volcanic cannons and triple heavy laser cannons, which were enough to sweep away all enemies on the ground.

They are already able to break through the void shield protection of the Global Museum and completely destroy this stronghold with long-range firepower from dozens of kilometers away.

"Where's our Titan?"

No one could give an answer, because even if any of the Thirteenth Legion's Titan machines survived, they would have certainly been marked by the enemy and hunted down.

"We can't let them get close. Once the Titans join the battlefield, even the Space Marines will be vaporized in one shot."

Ventanus looked at the two super-heavy tanks, Shadow Blades, that had just come to support him. His brain was working frantically, thinking about the possibility of using super-heavy tanks to ambush the Titan God Machine.

The probability is too small. Even if the super-heavy tank does have a chance to severely damage the Titan, that is under the premise of overloading the void shield, and they have too few tanks.

Inside the World Museum.

Luo Xi, who was rescuing the wounded with the fire lizard Tassa, was suddenly stunned, and the alarm from the starship in orbit sounded in his mind.

[Titan unit detected]

[Evacuation recommended]

He was not completely ignorant of the situation on the battlefield, but he chose to remain relatively neutral.

When he woke up from his ten-thousand-year sleep and saw what humans had become like, Luo Xi's mentality was already slightly unbalanced.

His starship was the doomsday ark of mankind entrusted to him by the chief. He could not rashly let it join the battlefield, otherwise no one knew whether the enemy would suddenly take out some relic weapon to threaten the starship.

Those traitors who call themselves the Word Bearers are certainly annoying, but the Imperial loyalists represented by the Ultramarines are only slightly better.

They are all genetically modified warriors created by the Emperor.

This empire is full of ignorance, feudalism and anti-intellectualism.

Therefore, Roche chose to help the Extreme Marines only out of sympathy for the innocent humans on this planet.

But after traveling together for a period of time, Roche gradually felt that these warriors called Astartes were not just ruthless killing tools: Nikonna dreamed of seeing the motherland of mankind, the Iron Father Weiland was immersed in the death of the Father of Genes and could not extricate himself, and the Salamander Thassa was constantly treating the wounded, even if the other party was just an ordinary mortal.

Captain Ventanus, who had only met him once, had been leading the Ultramarines to fight against the attacks of those crazy enemies, and they were bleeding.

"Forget it, forget it." Roche sighed. He knew that the Extreme Marines could not stop those war machines called Titans.

His ship was loaded with powerful technological weapons. A single vacuum implosion bomb capable of creating a singularity was enough to destroy all the Titans. However, weapons didn't distinguish between friend and foe. Loyalists and traitors were already intertwined throughout the planet, and an indiscriminate attack would only severely damage the loyalists.

He thought for two seconds and decided to take some gentler measures.

The Red Alert quietly emerged from orbit. It was invisible to all the battleship scanning arrays. At this moment, no one on either side of the fierce battle noticed the appearance of a small starship.

A metal obelisk more than three meters high fell from space. The surrounding field launchers eliminated the air resistance, preventing it from sliding down like a meteor like an airborne capsule.

As the Titan's footsteps passed by, the ground continued to vibrate regularly. The void shields of these war vehicles were connected together to resist the occasional artillery attacks in the ruins.

In addition to Ventanus, there were many loyalists who tried to stop the Titans' advance.

The creation of the God of All Machines slightly turned its head reconnaissance array and instantly locked onto the source of the artillery fire. The volcanic cannons held in Titan's arms began to accumulate energy, flashing with a luster like lava.

The world was illuminated in an instant, and the volcanic cannon turned an entire ruin into a land of death flowing with molten magma and glass crystals.

【Confirm Kill】

In the cockpit of the Titan, the Word Bearers' Titan captain twitched madly.

His limbs had been amputated, and his body was immersed in an amniotic fluid chamber, connected to this violent Titan machine soul through a neural shock unit.

The Titan's machine soul is so ferocious and difficult to tame that the captain tries his best to control it with the help of the control team.

The captain in the amniotic fluid chamber felt that the entire Titan was himself. His hands turned into volcanic cannons, his body senses extended to the auspicious instrument, and his skin turned into a thick adamantium shell, completely getting rid of human weaknesses.

The Titan Machine Soul caused tremendous pressure and pain to his mind, and this omnipotent synaesthesia made him unable to stop.

He didn't notice at all that next to Titan, a small metal obelisk suddenly released an invisible light.

A destructive electromagnetic pulse penetrated the void shield and instantly overloaded the Titan's machine soul. The brains of the captain, control team, and those mechanical servants in the cockpit were boiling, and a large amount of electric sparks burst out.

The Titan Machine seemed to have its soul sucked out of it all of a sudden, and it took a long time to take the next step.

Without a sound or a trace, the Titan had fallen.

"What happened? Why did the Titans stop moving?"

Ventanus, who was rushing to stop the Titan, suddenly noticed that the light on the bird servant had been stagnant for a long time. They didn't know what had happened.

Was the Titan's driver killed by the violent Machine Spirit? Or was it another Ultramarines who broke into the void shield and decapitated the driver?

Ventanus didn't know, but his keen war intuition detected that an external force had intervened in the battle.

This is all too coincidental.

In addition to the Ultramarines and the Word Bearers, there is a third party on Calth?
The Ultramarines Captain took a deep look at the Titan that was standing at the end of his sight, like a dead metal tower, and changed his decapitation plan.

The war was still going on, but Ventanus and the others finally had some time to catch their breath. They returned to the bunker in the Universal Museum and treated their injuries with the help of the Salamanders and mortal medical staff.

Thanks to Roche's assistance, there is no shortage of healing supplies such as bandages and medicines. The starships in orbit are continuously producing these emergency supplies and they are delivered to the Global Museum via transmission channels.

"We retrieved the kill code from the port, and with the Ultramarines' escort we didn't run into too much trouble."

Senior technician Tao Lun and others also rushed back from the port. After learning that Hearst had hidden the compiled killing code in the port, they arrived at the target location with the help of a team of extreme warriors and successfully recovered the mission target.

The killing code was uploaded to the transmitter, and the starship far away in orbit immediately loaded this weapon for special attack against the chaos waste code. With the support of the computing power of the intelligent brain, the broken and almost ruined thinking space of Coss is recovering.

"Luo Xi, you--" Ventanus looked at Luo Xi who was busy in front of him and was about to say something, but he swallowed his doubts.

"The influence of the Chaos Waste Code is gradually weakening, Captain." Seeing Ventanus's return, Roche smiled. "With the number of Ultramarines assembled now, if we can get the support of Macragge's Glory, there is a high probability that we can recapture the weapons array in orbit."

"But the flagship didn't respond." Ventanus said softly. He put aside his doubts. At this moment, it didn't matter who killed those Titans.

He understood that the battlefield in space was equally brutal, and even the Primarch had lost his ability to respond.

In this situation, it would be reckless to blindly attack the weapon array. Ventanus ordered the assembled Extreme Marines to continue searching for survivors with the World Museum as the center and absorb the warriors who came. At the same time, he ordered the senior technicians to call the flagship every thirty seconds.

[This is the surface of Calth, calling the flagship! ]
