Qiduo spread out the Longmen city map and pointed his finger at it: "We are now on Wencheng Street. Wenlong Street is just two intersections away. The drone shows that there are about a hundred rebels on the entire street, a tank, and a Chimaera. There are at least five heavy logging gun positions in the buildings on both sides, and a heavy bolter controls the main intersection."

Luo Chen looked at the forty or so people surrounding him, with wounds on their faces and craters and scars all over their carapaces.

"Are you afraid? This is the first time we are facing an army that is equal to ours. They have tanks and machine guns, which are superior to ours. Should we fight?"

"Fight them. No matter how much they have, they are still straw bags."

"Yes, I remember when I was in Ursus, I went to the enemy's position and blew up the fortress by myself. What are these slapping eggs?"

"That's right, that's right..."

"Okay, let's put all the heavy weapons in one team. Your tasks are tanks, armored vehicles, heavy bolters, and machine gun positions."

"understand!"

"Team three, team four, team one is at the front, team one is inside the building, team two will run over the roof with me and Chido, and the sniper will be the first to take down the enemy drone."

"understand!"

"Listen carefully. You must wait for the first team to open fire, and then destroy their tanks and heavy bolters. You are all elites who have come all the way through the snow and fire. You are the elite among the elites. I don't want to see any reports of your casualties. Do you understand?!"

"Listen clearly!"

"action!"

Qido put away the map and followed Luo Chen to climb onto the roof. The employees of Cardia disappeared in an instant.

In the Titan training ground outside Longmen, the sky was burning with flames of war. The rebels were shooting frantically at the Space Marines, and the mortar shells were only aimed at these tall iron cans.

They forgot that none of Cardia's employees were easy to deal with. At worst, they were mercenaries who had been working on the edge of a knife for more than a decade.

Taking advantage of the change in the enemy's attack order, the employees took the initiative under the command of the captain, using melta guns and plasma to blow up a number of armored vehicles and two tanks, successfully lifting the siege for the Space Marines.

Without the direct threat of tanks and laser cannons, the Space Marines boldly walked out of the bunkers, using their power armor to take the rebels' firepower. They rushed directly into the enemy group, reaping life after life with their chainswords and bolters, and their blood splashed on the yellow sand, sticking the gravel together.

But the number of defenders was too small. It was not easy for a hundred people plus a dozen Space Marines to hold out until now against two reinforced battalions of rebels, because the Space Marines were easily suppressed by tanks, artillery and armored vehicles, not to mention that the firepower was only aimed at them. Even the Space Marines could not withstand the saturation attack.

One battle brother failed to dodge and was hit in the arm by the Chimaera's laser cannon. The entire arm and the power armor evaporated. The Space Marines jumped onto the armored vehicle in anger, made a hole in it with their chainswords, threw armor-breaking grenades in, jumped off the Chimaera and killed the surrounding rebels. The Chimaera's chain explosion did not harm these battle brothers at all.

At this time, a Primaris warrior saw a large group of rebels rushing towards the sergeant who was commanding the battle, or rather, rushing towards the Predator Titan behind him.

"Brother Const!"

Of course, this sergeant brother noticed the aggressive rebels. He raised his bolter and fired every bolt at the rebels.

Even though everyone around them turned into blood mist, the rebels still rushed towards Const. Bayonets, engineering shovels and bombs became the rebels' weapons to fight against the Space Marines at close range.

Const pulled out his power sword and cut off the rebel holding explosives with one blow. A bayonet pierced his power armor. Const punched the rebel's head and killed the enemy one after another with the power sword.

But the rebels' target was never him, but the Predator Titan behind him. When Const was entangled by a large number of rebels, those rebels holding bombs climbed onto the legs of the Predator Titan.

Const naturally noticed it, he changed the magazine of his bolter and shot at the climbing rebels, killing those who were almost at their leg joints, but then he was hit by many spells.

The Primaris came running over here. After a loud burst of gunfire, several huge craters appeared on the breastplate of the Primaris whose arm was broken. The rebels had set up a heavy bolter at some point and started shooting while the Primaris was running.

The Primaris rolled over to avoid further strafing, grabbed the plasma pistol at his waist, and fired at the heavy bolter, the hot plasma ball immediately vaporizing the group.

The other Marines fired upon the enemy forces surrounding the Heavy Bolter, clearing the area, before a Battle-Brother pulled the badly wounded Primaris into the leg of a Reaver Titan.

Thanks to his modified body, this Primaris warrior would not die, but after being hit by so many heavy bolts, he was lucky to be alive by the Emperor, and he would probably find it difficult to continue to take part in the battle for a while.

Const was surrounded and attacked by a large number of rebels. He swung his power sword in circles again and again. Whenever there were no enemies around him, the warlocks and snipers in the distance would shoot at him.

Another fierce Originium skill was unleashed, and the violent explosion knocked him to the ground. The surrounding rebels took advantage of the situation and slashed at Const's helmet with various Originium blades attached with Originium skills.

The eyepiece camera on the helmet was punctured, and the Originium technique also left countless deep scratches on the helmet. Const jumped up angrily, pulled out the combat knife at his waist, and swung it fiercely. The rebels were directly smashed by brute force, and they didn't even have time to be cut into pieces.

But for the rebels, their huge sacrifice now is worth it. The Predator Titan protected by Const is already crawling with rebels. They place a large number of bombs in every place where melta bombs and plasma bombs can be stuffed. When Const finally killed the surrounding rebels and touched the bolter, the rebels pressed the detonator without hesitation.

A huge explosion engulfed all the rebels still on the Titan's legs. As a ball of blue plasma mixed with the smoke spread out, the sound of steel twisting soon came over.

The basic structural skeleton of the Titan is made of adamantium, and the important parts and joints have been especially reinforced. However, there are too many melta bombs placed by the rebels, and the huge high temperature generated in an instant is too high for even adamantium to withstand. Compared with the Warlord-class, the defensive performance of the Plunderer is still much worse. Its joints cannot withstand the direct bombardment of the giant cannon like the main Titan.

Then, after a sound of steel twisting, the Predator-class Titan fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Const crushed the helmet on the ground with his foot, raised his bolter and fired: "Heretic!"

A tank shell hit the NCO not far away, knocking him flying. Shrapnel grazed his face and cut off some flesh.

Const looked into the distance and saw the rebel reinforcements arriving, three tanks with another battalion of rebels.

A large group of rebels rushed over and tried to kill Const. A fierce volley of lasers killed the rebels. The employees of Cadia followed Const and killed every rebel who ran over with the hell gun.

The captain of the employees came to Const., "My Lord, are you all right?"

"I'm fine." The Space Marine immediately stood up and pulled out his Bolter Pistol to shoot: "Let your men continue to defend the Warlord-class Titan. Even if all of us die, it can't fall. Do you understand?!"

"Yes!"

At the foot of the Marauder Titan, the Space Marines and the rebels fought in chaos and soon used up all the bolter arrows. The Space Marines then chopped with chainswords and power swords, smashed with bolter rifles and hammered with their fists, but still could not stop the rebels from climbing up the Titan and blowing up the connection. There were too many rebels in the two battalions, and more than a dozen Space Marines could not defeat them. They were all injured, seven or eight of them lost their combat effectiveness due to laser cannons and plasma explosions, and two were directly killed by tanks and armored vehicles.

The employees of Cadia and the Space Marines held out until reinforcements finally arrived. The first to arrive were the fifty or so Space Marines stationed at the Temple. They charged out from the northern part of the training ground, hacked up the rebels along the way, blew up tanks and armored vehicles, beheaded the rebel warlocks, and killed all of their mortar teams.

At this time, Cadia's reinforcements also arrived at the scene. With more than 200 new troops, they can defend more Titans and take the initiative to help the Space Marines clear out those important enemy units.

The employees raised their Hell Guns and shot at the rebels who had climbed onto the Titan. Laser beams pierced their flesh, and the rebels fell to the ground and died in terror. The Space Marines' bolter arrows mercilessly turned them into a bloody mist.

However, even so, the rebels were still attacking. They all gathered together and insisted on rushing towards a Predator Titan, killing the Cadian employees guarding the foot of the Titan, and used plasma and laser cannons to hit the Space Marines' power armor again and again. Finally, the power armor could not withstand such repeated attacks.

The Space Marine was hit by plasma in his body, and both hearts in his body were burned out by the hot plasma ball.

The rebels frantically climbed onto the Titan and once again successfully blew off the legs of the Predator Titan, causing its huge body to fall on the training ground.

Now, there was only one Warlord, two Predators and a dozen War Dogs left on the entire training ground. The rebels immediately rushed towards the two Predators, but Cadia's employees placed the heavy explosive arrows captured on the battlefield on makeshift sandbags and shot at the rebels, temporarily holding off the offensive.

At this time, the Space Marines also broke through the defense line composed of tanks and elite troops from the north and successfully reached the foot of the Titan.

Now, the rebels had completely lost hope. They retreated in panic, planning to run into the city of Longmen to survive. With so many people in the two reinforced battalions, even if only one company ran into the city, it could cause great damage to Longmen.

However, the third batch of reinforcements from the training ground has arrived. This is a support force composed of two Titan groups, two huge Warlord-class Titans and several Predators and War Dogs. The huge figure of the Warlord can be seen in the slums of Lungmen.

Then the volcanic cannon fired another earth-shattering attack, vaporizing all the rebels' armored vehicles and tanks. The trucks were also buried in the small canyon created by the volcanic cannon due to the collapse of the ground.

The war dogs stepped into the rebels, and the two plasma destroyers or destroyer bolts continued to reap the lives of these rebels.

Plasma and melta weapons were no match for the war dogs at this point, as the void shield blocked all explosions, bullets and lasers.

The Warlord's volcanic cannon attacked again, this time aiming at the enemy where a large number of enemy troops were gathered. The employees of Cadia immediately protected their eyes. The explosion light caused by the volcanic cannon's rays could blind human eyes, even the Space Marines had to activate the light shielding function in their helmets.

After this shot, there were only a few rebels left on the training ground. The Space Marines did not want to leave any survivors because these rebels used the Empire's weapons to hurt them and killed two battle brothers, causing heavy casualties among the Saint's troops. These heretics should not be left alive.

However, they soon changed their decision. After all, the origin of these rebels had to be investigated, and the mastermind behind them was the biggest threat. So the Space Marines killed most of the surviving rebels, leaving only one senior officer, several junior officers and grassroots soldiers for later investigation.

The Space Marines looked towards the burning Dragon Gate, and now that the Saints were still there, they knew it was not over yet.

Originally, Luo Chen transferred two hundred Space Marines from the Ice Field to support Longmen, and later transferred one hundred back. The one hundred people guarding the temple formed a company. Now there are more than seventy people in the training ground, more than a dozen were left in the temple, and there are only a few people in Longmen.

Captain Domirent said to the Cadia employees and Titan pilots: "You protect the training ground and watch over the prisoners. We are going to the city to help the Saints now."

The Space Marines rushed to Longmen without stopping. Inside Longmen, there were two battalions of rebels. Because the population of Longmen was quite dense, the Titans could not support Longmen. Once the Titans opened fire, the rebels could be killed, but the people of Longmen and the mobile city itself would definitely suffer heavy losses.

So street fighting is the only option for Cadia and the Lungmen Guards, but they are facing a well-equipped rebel force.

Chapter 231 Mixed Blood

Kadia's elite employees stopped on the roof less than 20 meters away from Wenlong Street. The rebels' drone was shot down by a sniper and the rebels were on alert at this time.

It was unknown when employees of Cardia appeared in the buildings on the street. They silently wiped out the enemy soldiers in several buildings and hid behind the walls. The first team followed the passage made by the third and fourth teams and successfully came to the building next to the tanks and armored vehicles.

At the captain's command, plasma and melta guns simultaneously hit Lemanus, Chimaera and Heavy Bolter from above.

Before the rebels could react, the teams in the building kicked open the doors and killed the heavy logging gun team in the building with precise shooting. Luo Chen and the second team then appeared from the roof and shot at the rebels on the ground from above.

The streets were filled with the sound of bullets, as well as smoke and dust. The second squad killed all the rebels under their feet and jumped into the street, shooting the retreating enemy troops.

The third and fourth teams in the building had unprecedented difficulty in advancing. It was easy for the Carapace to defend against etched bullets, but it was not easy to defend against the Hell Gun. Halfway through the battle, they found that they were facing the enemy's Stormtroopers, who were also equipped with Carapace and Hell Guns and had various heavy weapons.

Looking from the street, the commercial buildings on both sides were filled with laser and plasma lights, and armor-piercing grenades exploded from time to time.

Luo Chen held the bolter and shot at the enemy at the other end of the street. Every time he killed an enemy soldier, several laser beams were fired back at him. Relying on the performance of the improved void armor, he could give the enemy a head-on blow on the street full of lasers.

The first squad was armed with heavy weapons. They fired at the streets and houses. The buildings along the border collapsed one after another under the sea of ​​plasma fire. Finally, the rebel forces could not withstand the attack. Having lost their tanks and armored vehicles, they no longer had powerful suppressive weapons. Even though they were wearing the same equipment as the Astra Militarum, they were only a new corps that had undergone six months of training.

This is different from the Cadia employees who have decades of combat experience. Even if their numbers are twice as many, they do not have much advantage.

After Wenlong Street was completely stabilized, Luo Chen contacted Chen Huijie immediately and asked her to send people to garrison here, and also to use this place as a troop transportation center.

Just as Luo Chen was about to chase the rebels in the direction they were fleeing, the Space Marines arrived here.

"Saint, we have resolved the crisis at the Titan training ground."

Luo Chen nodded: "How much did Titan lose?"

The Space Marine Captain said, "A lot. Three Reaver-class Titans have fallen, and eight Warhound-class Titans had their legs blown off. They may not be usable. We don't have the ability to repair Titans here."

"Are the garrison troops and the pilot crew all right?"

"The casualties are not small, but the casualties among the driving crew are relatively small, so it will not affect the driving of the Titan."

"I will take care of these employees who died. Now that the Titan training ground is fine, I need you to clean up the remaining rebels in Longmen. Be careful not to harm civilians."

"We will, Saint."

After receiving the order, the Space Marines dispersed in small teams and headed to various places in the southern city to hunt down the rebels. The roar of exploding arrows was soon heard on the city streets.

Without the support of artillery, the rebels' situation became dangerous. The huge Lemanus tanks could not be deployed in places like Longmen where the streets are narrow. If tanks and armored vehicles were to be used in Longmen, they should be deployed in the central area, which is more spacious and is also the main defensive position and difficult to attack.

But Luo Chen also knew what the rebels were thinking. These people knew they could not survive, so instead of leaving the tanks outside to starve, it would be better to move them into the city and put pressure on the defending forces.

But they did underestimate the degree of resistance in Longmen. Because the people from the Guard Bureau had to evacuate the people first, they created the illusion of frequent retreat. Now the South City area is basically empty.

So under the command of Chen Huijie, the special police of the Guard Bureau took out mortars and artillery units from the equipment warehouse and bombarded the rebel-occupied area.

The rebels could never have imagined that the police of the Guard Bureau had 120mm mortars, which were euphemistically called special supplies for the Lungmen Special Police, but in fact they were just Star Army mortars that were painted and made for police use. Anyway, this happened to Lungmen and Cardia, so it was very reasonable.

So after being dazed by the sudden artillery fire, the rebels had to face the hunting squad of Space Marines.

The rebels fought hard at the beginning, then gradually retreated and hid in any corner they could. Those huge tin cans had their khaki paint almost covered with blood.

After seeing the people around them being torn to pieces by the bare hands of these Space Marines, broken in half by bolters, or turned into a pool of meaningless blood, and after seeing so many cruel ways of massacre, the will of the rebels was finally broken.

Cardia and the detectives from the Guard Bureau walked on the streets covered with blood and broken limbs. The detectives felt cold all over and their stomachs churning. Together they searched for the rebels in the city, searching every corner three times to prevent some rebels from being missed and causing damage in the future.

The Space Marines finally captured the last warehouse in the southern city and blew up a Lemanus Victor controlled by the rebels. In order to destroy this huge plasma tank, one of the Space Marines was killed by the Plasma Corps.

Luo Chen felt very upset when he saw the price they paid today. Not to mention the Space Marines, the loss of Titans alone would be enough to kill the guards tens of thousands of times in the Empire. The value of these Titans was enough to be measured by a world. Considering that they were almost prototypes, their value could no longer be converted into a few Imperial worlds. If possible, these Titans could even be exchanged for several Forge Worlds, because they were all Titans that did not use humans as components.

The losses of the Space Marines are also heartbreaking, with a total of six souls passing away today... Well, there is no Golden Throne here.

Luo Chen looked at the wounded Space Marines. They would become disabled in the future because there were no mechanical prosthetic limbs available for them. The prosthetic limbs used by mortals would not work. Due to the various ingenious designs of the Space Marines and their different personal development situations, if they broke their arms or legs, they could only have customized prosthetic limbs.

But Cadia did not have that kind of technology. Luo Chen originally thought that these battle brothers would feel disappointed or helpless, but they were unexpectedly strong. In other words, for the Space Marines, even if both arms and legs were gone, they could still remain firm in their beliefs, jump up from the ground and bite the enemy's neck.

After the war, a series of problems followed. Longmen was undoubtedly severely damaged. The mobile city itself was very strong, and there were many kinds of alloys used to build it, and all of them were very valuable.

But if hit by a shell from the Earthshaker, it would first penetrate the first layer of the city, then cause an explosion on the second layer, usually resulting in the destruction of large areas of the first to fourth layers.

According to rough statistics, the rebels fired a total of 56 earth-shattering bombs, more than 100 rockets, and more than 100 mortar shells at Longmen, and many places in the southern city were destroyed.

This caused heavy economic losses, and Longmen had to rely entirely on itself to repair itself, and now it was in urgent need of someone to help Longmen tide over the difficulties. Although Longmen belonged to Yan State and paid taxes and tributes every year, it was more like a country within a country. When Longmen won the right to autonomy, many people had been eyeing this fertile land.

Now that Longmen has suffered such a disaster, there will definitely be people who will take advantage of the situation to rob.

If the situation in Longmen is critical, Cardia will inevitably lose such a relatively stable political and economic region. What's more, Luo Chen and Wei Yanwu are relatives, and Talulah is Wei Yanwu's niece, so naturally she will help.

Therefore, he did not have time to rush to the Titan training ground to see the damage suffered by Titan, nor did he have time to conduct the first round of interrogation of the war criminals. Instead, he ran to the government building to meet Wei Yanwu first.

Wei Yanwu knew what he was going to say and asked him to sit down. "Luo Chen, I know what you are worried about. Thank you and Hui Jie for your efforts in defeating the rebels. As you expected, the Star Army Headquarters and the Earth Council will definitely send people to investigate the cause of the incident and take away the war criminals. During this time, we should first pry their mouths open."

"I understand, but what should Longmen do next? The Emperor of Yan and all the ministers will definitely make a fuss about this matter. The current situation is very dangerous."

"So, I really need you now."

"You don't have to tell me that. I'm here to discuss this matter. The company can only use one-third of the public funds now. The sum of our people is more or less enough for more than 2,000 Originium ingots. Let's use them first. As for the issue of envoys later, I will transfer 300 Space Marines back from the ice field. It will be enough for them to consider."

"You transferred those soldiers here last time. You're going to transfer more people here this time. Won't Ursus say anything?"

"They won't have any objections. The Terran guards are under my command. Besides, the Endless Icefield has now become quiet again. I can just say that the Chapter Temple needs someone to maintain it. No one will dare to stop them."

"it is good."

"But there is another problem. With all this chaos, the traitors inside Longmen might escape."
