Warhammer 40k, but I’m really not an angelic father!

The battle on Cadia raged on, the roars and sounds of gunfire intertwined into a bloody symphony of death.

As the battle in the bastion intensified, the battle in the eastern part of the Allison Plain was also evolving into a death opera.

This group of rebellious Titans called the Vulcan Legion is constantly attacking the defenses of the 185th Regiment of Cadia.

The Vulcan Legion was founded ten thousand years ago during the Great Crusade on the Forge World of Acheron VIII near the Eye of Terror, when Horus, then Warmaster of Chaos, launched the Heresy and the Shadow Crusade against Terra.

This Titan Legion joined Horus's rebellion, and after Horus was slain by the Emperor aboard the Vengeful Spirit, leading to the complete failure of the Shadow Crusade, they all fled into the Eye of Terror.

After lying dormant for who knows how many years, this sinful Titan legion once again trampled its blasphemous footsteps on the land of Cadia.

A Titan force led by the Warlord-class Titan Cursed Vessel is advancing. Each Titan in this force can rely on the help of the Warp's sorcery to directly connect its real-time perception with the commander.

This allows the actual commanders of each Titan to act as one, conducting joint operations with an impossible level of precision.

"We can't go on like this. If we let them advance any further, the rebel Titans' firepower will completely overwhelm our defenses."

At this time, the pressure on the command center of the eastern defense line of Allison Plain was almost reaching its limit.

Commander of the Iron Wolf Company of the Space Wolves Chapter, Orwen Gaoluo, and Colonel Erias Delamode of the 185th Cadia Regiment were discussing countermeasures fiercely.

The wrinkles on the colonel's face had deepened considerably due to the constant worry in recent days. Captain Olvin also lost an eye to a sudden shrapnel during the battle.

The previous Wolf Lord of the Iron Wolves, Ezio Iron Wolf, died in the war when the Daemon Primarch Magnus invaded Fenris, so the command of this company was handed over to Captain Orwin.

"My company still has a considerable number of fast vehicles. Perhaps we can transport some of our soldiers into the interiors of those Titans at the fastest speed."

"If successful, we might be able to emulate the Blood Howl Company's method of disrupting the Blackstone Fortress, thereby weakening the Titan Legion's strength and destroying them with the bastion's long-range firepower."

Captain Orwin proposed a radical and risky idea: he wanted to emulate Sven Gorehowl's methods and destroy the rebellious Titans.

He knew very well that the success rate of such a plan was very low, but he was unwilling to just watch the Titan Legion step on his head bit by bit.

Even if this operation fails to destroy an entire Titan army, it should definitely weaken their combat capabilities.

"That's impossible, Captain Orwin. You should know that there's only one Blackstone Fortress, so the Blood Howl Company could take advantage of the chaos and raid in."

"But the Titan Legions can cooperate with each other. Once they start fighting in coordination, your company will have no way of entering their firepower coverage."

"This is an operation that is completely impossible to succeed. If we rashly launch a surprise attack, it will only deplete the remaining armored forces of the defense line."

The sound of firing was heard continuously outside the command center. The large-caliber artillery of the Earthshaker, the Dictator and the Rambo Predator were constantly consuming ammunition to block the advance of the enemy's ground forces except the Titans.

There was even a Poison Blade super-heavy tank behind the defense line that kept firing. The tracks of this super-heavy tank had all broken, and it could only be left here as a fixed artillery position.

But even with the help of such armored vehicles, it is impossible to resist the group of Titans as big as hills approaching him.

These rebel Titans take turns to withstand the attacks. When the void shield power of the rebel Titan in front reaches the critical value, it will stop, and another rebel Titan that has been prepared behind it will immediately take over.

This also resulted in our team's desire to concentrate firepower to destroy a Titan being repeatedly frustrated. The enemy simply did not give us a chance to concentrate fire, and their reaction was too fast.

The earth was shaking. The approach of an entire Titan army had caused the ground of Cadia to shake continuously.

Every soldier and Astartes of the Iron Wolf Company knew that this would most likely be the last battle they would fight.

But no one would be afraid or choose to run away.

They only think about how to defeat the enemy in front of them or tear off a piece of flesh as big as possible from them, so that these traitors can also taste the pain.

"Do we still have air power? Can the Phalanx in orbit still provide us with assistance?"

"The air force is down to a squadron-sized, specially armed Valkyrie gunship. The Phalanx is no longer able to provide assistance. It was just directly hit by the planet killer's artillery fire."

Captain Elias had just received a message from the Phalanx. Due to the intense firepower confrontation with the Blackstone Fortress, the Phalanx's maneuverability and void shield strength had dropped to a critical point.

Under the cover of the black fleet, the planet killer released six jets of subspace energy. Although the Phalanx tried its best to stop them, four of the rays still hit its void shield directly.

Its destructive power was not as terrifying as the Blackstone Fortress, but it still put considerable pressure on the Phalanx's already damaged void shield array.

The Phalanx must transfer its remaining energy to the void shield array in order to continue to block the black fleet.

"Then this line of defense can only do its best to delay. Since we can't destroy the Titan Legion, we can only buy time for other lines of defense."

Captain Olwen understood the considerations of Captain Elias. At this moment, none of the four lines of defense protecting the Olsen Plain could fall in advance, otherwise the entire defense circle would be destroyed.

The Titan Legion that breaks through the eastern defense line will fight all the way from east to west, and even pose a greater threat to the northern defense line guarded by the Battle Sisters and the southern defense line where Lord Creedburg himself is stationed.

"This Titan Legion's actions are so coordinated. If we can try to destroy its core command machine, we might be able to slow them down."

Captain Elias walked out of the command center and used a telescope to look at the rebellious Titan Legion in the distance. He looked at the Warlord-class Titan protected by the group - the Cursed Vessel, which was the core command aircraft of this legion.

As long as his movements can be paralyzed, the Titan Legion will temporarily stop.

"We can't attack that Titan directly. He's too cautious. He's using other Titans as cover and surrounding himself with other machines."

"As you said, the ground armored forces are unable to break through the outer protection of the rebellious Titans, and the long-range large-caliber artillery cannot penetrate his own void shield."

"We can't do a beheading."

Captain Orwin knew what Elias was thinking, but just like the other party had just refuted him, the plan still could not be carried out.

"That's not necessarily true. Elias doesn't intend to perform a beheading from the ground."

At this moment, an unexpected response suddenly came from the communication array in his ear. It was the voice of Strelka, the commander of the 1014th Valkyrie Squadron.

Since the eastern defense line entered the pressure state until now, there are only 1014 Valkyrie gunboats left in the 15th Valkyrie Squadron.

Several of the Valkyrie gunboats were reorganized from the remaining survivors of other squadrons. Lord Creed ordered them to be deployed to the eastern defense line for support.

And now is the time for their last fight.

Captain Orwin seemed to realize what these people wanted to do. After a brief moment of shock, he suddenly felt that the will of these mortals was even stronger than that of the Astartes at this moment.

"Strelka, you saw that too, didn't you? Those Warhound-class Titans are all circling that Warlord-class Titan. Is there any way to directly destroy its command module?"

At this time, Strelka, who was flying in the sky in a Valkyrie gunship and fighting a battle of wits with the Hell Dragon, quickly glanced at the location of the Warlord-class Titan.

Then, after silently estimating in his mind, he gave Elias a conclusion.

Although this conclusion may not make both of them happy, it is definitely the most acceptable result at the moment.

"That Warlord-class Titan is taller than the surrounding Titans. Puncturing its command module isn't difficult, but I need cover."

"Do you still have graphite high-explosive smoke?"

Elias quickly recalled his memories of the inventory, and then remembered that there should be two large-scale graphite smoke bombs in the poison blade super-heavy tank behind.

"Captain Olwen, can I ask you for a favor? The Poison Blade super-heavy tank in the rear still has two large-area graphite smoke bombs."

"Leave it to us. Our high-speed vehicles will get there as soon as possible, and we will control the muzzle when the time comes."

After saying this, Captain Orvin immediately walked out of the command center, his slightly old and weather-beaten face full of seriousness.

He knew how these people would stop the Warlord-class Titan. The sooner he could get there, the sooner he could implement this plan.

"Smoke is one thing, but do you have any way to penetrate its void shield?"

Captain Elias asked this question after a brief silence. He wanted to know whether Strelka needed his long-range fire support.

With only these 15 Valkyrie gunboats, some unexpected situations are likely to occur. You know, those rebellious Titans are equipped with anti-aircraft defense weapons.

And right in the sky above their heads, there are a large number of Hell Dragons circling. The existence of those things is one of the biggest threats to the Valkyrie Squadron.

"Leave the matter of breaking through the void shield to us. You don't need to worry."

"Lady Duvalier?"

Those who rashly inserted themselves into the communication equipment channel were the Imperial Knights from the Raven Family.

In fact, long before the conversation between Elias and Strelka, the pilots of the knight mechas had already made a plan.

Steel can only be fought with steel. The Knight Mechas may not be able to compete with the Titans, but that doesn't mean they can't play a role at all.

"The Raven family brought a Vortex Star Attack Missile when they came to Cadia. Although their strike cruiser was shot down, the transport team that detached urgently managed to keep the Vortex Missile."

"We are carrying this missile to the designated hiding place. As long as the time is right, we can immediately launch this missile."

"Its terrifying power could easily disable the shield system of that Warlord-class Titan. Even if other Titans tried to block it, it would be useless. It's a large-scale destructive star-strike warhead, usually used to bomb planetary surfaces."

The voice of Lady Duvalier came slowly along with the sound of the servo system running inside the Knight Mech, and there was also the faint sound of the Titan stepping on the ground.

Elias took a deep breath. If this operation could be successful, the eastern defense line would be safe in a short time and the soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know where this imperial knight unit was hiding to avoid being discovered by the Titans.

But listening carefully, they are close enough to the Titan Legion.

"How do you plan to destroy the Titans that have stopped functioning?"

Lady Duvale's question reached Elias's ears. They could sacrifice in battle, but they would prefer to make their sacrifice more valuable.

The ending where he sacrificed himself just to delay the Titan Legion was a bit too bland.

It would be more exciting if we could drag a few Titans along with us to be buried together.

"Their location is already within reach of the Bastion's long-range firepower. The Hellfire Cannons over there can easily smash their bodies and then blow their armor and structures into pieces."

"Can you really report the exact location accurately?"

"Lady Duvalier, please respect my professional ethics. I am an artilleryman."

"Oh, you're from the artillery?"

There were some distorted words in these words that made Elias blush. It was already this late at night, and he was still interested in making such a bad joke.

"Ahem, please don't make such a boring joke at such a serious moment."

"I think it's quite funny. We are all just ordinary people. It's not easy to tell such a joke again before dying."

This time, Strelka and Baroness Duvalier stood on one side, and it was Elias, a middle-aged man who had never married in his life, who felt a little embarrassed.

"Erias, if you can escape this time alive, stop fighting, retire from active service, and find a Hive World or Garden World to live out the rest of your life in peace."

"War is too terrible and cold-blooded. We have been fighting for a lifetime. It's time to take a break."

Baroness Duvalier seemed to be speaking from the heart, and before she knew it, she began to persuade Elias to retire.

Elias was a loyal warrior. Neither she nor Strelka wanted to see such a person die on the battlefield. This battlefield covered with scorched earth and smoke had already swallowed up too many lives and souls.

It would be fine for Strelka and I to stay on this land, and let Elias and his men leave...

"I have a bad feeling, as if something horrible is about to happen. Those enemies must have even more terrifying tricks up their sleeves."

"You must leave alive..."

Elias listened to everything they said in silence, but just as he was about to speak to comfort them, Captain Orwin's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"The graphite smoke bombs are ready and ready to be launched."

"Understood, Strelka. Our knights will rush to the Titans' feet as soon as the graphite smoke obscures their vision. Once you hear the vortex missiles explode, you can immediately start the action."

Elias silently took back what he was about to say. He originally wanted to comfort Baroness Duvalier and the others.

Now it seems that this is obviously not the time to say those things, but perhaps there will never be such an opportunity to say them in the future.

"Roger that! The Valkyrie Squadron has been reorganized and is ready to go... Don't panic, maintain formation, and dispatch four gunboats to deal with those Hell Dragons!"

Strelka's noisy voice suddenly made the others feel anxious, and their hearts, which had been relieved, were now hanging in the air.

If even the last bit of air power is lost, then the current plan will be completely ruined.

"I'm fine, but a few Hell Dragons suddenly started attacking us. Don't waste time, launch the graphite smoke bomb immediately. I have to act immediately."

In fact, the situation on Strelka's side is not as good as it seems.

A total of six Hell Dragons attacked directly towards their formation, and the assault gunboat formation that had just been reorganized was completely disrupted at this moment.

If it weren't for the decent technical skills of her pilots, that attack alone would have easily taken out half of her Valkyrie gunboats.

The previous raid caused her squadron to lose three gunboats, and just now they dispatched four more to engage the Helldragon.

Right now, there are only eight Valkyries that can continue to follow him, including the one he is piloting.

So she had no time to delay any longer and had to launch the graphite smoke bomb immediately.

This plan must be carried out now. Even a few seconds late may end in failure.

"Understood, launch the graphite smoke bomb immediately!"

Captain Orwin's voice was heard, followed by two high-speed graphite smoke bombs fired by the Poison Blade super-heavy tank.

They suddenly exploded after colliding with the void shield surrounding the Warlord-class Titan.

The rich oily graphite substance instantly enveloped the cockpit of the Warlord-class Titan and all the overhead vision of the surrounding Warhound-class Titans like a dark, sticky, silky mist.

The commander of the Cursed Vessel almost immediately understood what these humans wanted to do, so he activated all his anti-aircraft weapon arrays.

But at this moment, a horrific explosion came from the bottom of the body, and the Titan's void shield generator was almost immediately paralyzed, and the instrument responsible for indicating its strength and power exploded instantly.
