This Terra is a little weird.

"Go back and think about it. I think they've made a risky move for you. Go home and think about it carefully."
"Um...are all the Space Marines in place?"
"It has been arranged at various locations. When the senator and the envoy arrive tomorrow, the Titan team will be able to take action."
"Okay, once these people leave, we will send the Titan team to Iberia and the Northern Ice Field. Then I will transfer all the Space Marines to Iberia and Rembil."
"Are you serious? It hasn't even been two months."
"It's too late. The attack by the hybrids and the abnormal behavior of the parliament have made me dare not delay. If this continues, we will fight with them before the war is over. The sooner we retreat, the better."
"That's true. You can be patient for a while and then stop being patient."
"Have the team members pack up and send two Warhound-class Titans to Iberia and Rembil to seize the initiative."
A day later, members of parliament and envoys from Yan State arrived at Longmen one after another, only to find that Longmen was in order, various repair work was being carried out in an orderly manner, and there were Space Marines guiding the engineering teams on the streets, but the added facilities were military facilities.
During the meeting with Wei Yanwu, the congressman expressed his apologies and promised to compensate Longmen. As for the envoy from Yan State, his purpose was straightforward. He said that Longmen, as a special city in Yan State, had obtained autonomy, but now it could not protect its people. The emperor of Yan State took Longmen back for the sake of the people.
Wei Yanwu argued that unless Longmen intended to commit treason, there was no reason to take back its autonomy. The two argued with each other for half an hour, and when they were about to start cursing, Chen Huijie brought an unexpected person.
When the minister of Yan State saw this, his heart sank. Chen Huijie said that this was a spy who collaborated with the Star Army rebels, but he was also a spy of Yan State.
Chen Huijie said: "Your Majesty's insight is really admirable. He was the first to know about this man's treason and demoted him to the border. Now Longmen, as a border city of Yan Country, has effectively prevented this man from causing greater harm to Yan Country. Longmen is loyal to His Majesty. I hope that His Majesty can personally deal with this traitor and give justice to the people of Longmen."
The minister was speechless for a moment. Wei Yanwu did not try to hide his smile, which made his nose red. After a long while, he spoke: "I didn't know the whole story. So this is how it is. Your Majesty's majesty is so great that it is beyond our imagination."
Wei Yanwu smiled and said, "Yes, yes."
The minister stood up and saluted, saying, "Lord Wei, Longmen has made great contributions in resisting the bandits this time. His Majesty said before that the decision should be made according to Longmen's actual situation. I am deeply moved by your loyalty to Dayan."
"Then, Your Excellency, what do you think we should do?"
"Um... well, I will take this traitor from Yan Country back to let His Majesty make the decision. I believe His Majesty will give you a satisfactory decision."
"Then I'll trouble you, sir. I won't see you off."
Wei Yanwu watched the congressman and the imperial envoy leave. He called Chen Huijie over and said, "Huijie, who taught you to say those words?"
"Mr. Qiduo taught me. After analyzing the minister's intention, he gave me two ideas."
"Alas... Luo Chen has many good men and talented generals around him."
"Uncle, there are already enough capable people in Longmen."
"I know that Luo Chen will leave Longmen in the future. We must do our best to help him keep the company during that turbulent period and wait for the new person to come."
"He's leaving?"
"Yes, going to Syracuse with my family is not only to get the leisure time I have always wanted, but also to avoid disaster."
"Tallulah, are you going with us?"
"Why? It's not like Tallulah won't come back to see you. There's nothing wrong with her enjoying retirement with Luo Chen. The key is that these people can protect each other together. I am in favor of them going to Syracuse. After all, Luo Chen has already made all the arrangements."
"As long as my sister can feel happy, whatever."
"Oh, by the way, Huijie, speaking of happiness, your aunt thinks you are old enough, it's time to ..."
"I still have police duties to attend to, uncle. I'm leaving now."
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm telling you something serious! Don't go! Hiss... um, this girl..."
Chapter 233 Retaking Iberia
As soon as spring arrived on Terra, Cadia transported the Titans to Iberia and Rembil, and two Warlord-class Titans were deployed. Endless Icefield only symbolically sent two Predator Titans, and the Space Marine garrison was completely withdrawn. In order to ensure the safety of the Titans, Cadia also transferred more than a hundred employees.
Luo Chen hopes to end the war in one fell swoop, however, two completely different voices emerge within the Star Army, one is willing to fight, and the other is unwilling to fight. They believe that a rash attack and over-reliance on weapons will only lead to a disastrous defeat.
Luo Chen didn't care what these people said. According to Cadia's current strength, with the cooperation of Space Marines and Titans, there would be no problem in taking Iberia. But running into the sea to chase Hai Si was not feasible and there was no way to do it.
The tough attitude caused the Astra Militarum Headquarters to hesitate. The Patriot finally said that he was willing to lead the troops to join the battle. This also gave the pro-war Hellagur a way out. Following the Patriot's words, those legions that originally belonged to Ursus joined the battle one after another, and the Sarkaz Legion would also fight as an ally.
Afterwards, the operation was divided into two parts. One part was the Iberian battlefield, where a Titan team and all the Space Marines fought together with the Astra Militarum. The second part was Rembil, where the defenders would be reinforced with several corps and a Titan team as support.
Many people were shocked when the huge Titan was transported over. The Warhound class was already large enough, and they did not expect that there would be a war machine as large as the Warlord class. As a result, the Warlord class could only travel from Longmen to Iberia and Rembilton by itself.
After the general tasks were assigned, Luo Chen set off for Rembil. He was very confident, but he would also be confident. If the Titans and the Space Marines could not defeat Hai Si and make him afraid to go ashore, then he would have to admit that Hai Si was more powerful than Terran.
But the outcome was already determined. Hai Si could only hold out for one day at most, and it would only take one day for a Warlord-class Titan to reach the coastline from the assembly point. When the volcanic cannons, earthquake cannons, death strike missiles and other weapons swept the ground, the war would be over.
Luo Chen came to Rembit, gave her the gift that Wen Yue asked him to give to Talulah, and went to the tent.
"We don't need any tactics this time. One Titan tactical team, one Warlord, three Predators, and five War Dogs. With this level of firepower, there is no fortress that cannot be taken down. What we need to do is to squeeze the armored forces into the gaps between the Titans. The infantry and armored vehicles will follow behind. The artillery can take a break this time. We will advance all day. Except for the self-propelled artillery and vehicle-mounted mortars, other artillery will not be brought. The air force is also ready for support at any time. For some mountains, it is better for the air force to attack them, so as not to let the Titans blow up the scenic spots and historical sites with one shot."
Luo Chen emphasized that this was the tactic set by the Astra Militarum front-line headquarters, or rather, it was the suggestion of the Space Marines. Originally, they had the ability to forcibly capture Iberia, but the Astra Militarum did not have a stable front at the time. They had been holding back their courage until today, and simply decided not to use any tactics, just steel on steel, iron on iron, and push forward. How could the flesh and blood aliens stop them?
Tallulah grabbed Luo Chen and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
"I've thought about it. If we continue like this, the banquet we prepared will be sour. It's better to fight early and save trouble. Let's go to Syracuse and see what's going on."
"Well, let's go and rest."
The next day, the Titan flight team boarded the plane. The alarm sounded after the Titan was started, and the battle began.
Iberia took the lead in attacking. With every step taken by the Warlord-class Titan, the ground was shaking. The biological signals could be seen from afar on the screen. The rays of the volcanic cannon were fired from several kilometers away. After the explosion, only a burning crater was left there, which was filled with orange-red magma.
Haisi's behemoths wanted to stop the Titans' advance, but they no longer had even the advantage of size, and were blown to pieces by missiles one after another. Haisi hid in a nearby cave, trying to attack the infantry hiding behind the armored forces and the Titans.
But their biological signals have long given away their location.
It was not the Astra Militarum but the Space Marines who came to exterminate these terrifying fish. They carried flamethrowers and gas grenades and cleared caves one after another at an extremely efficient speed. Many of them were dug by the terrifying fish. They dug through these places to allow groundwater to flow through these complex cave systems, extending their combat time on land.
It was really troublesome for the Space Marines to clean up, so they simply threw a few poison gas grenades down, and when the poison gas dissipated, they used flamethrowers to burn them a little, thus reducing the number and handing them over to the subsequent Astra Militarum troops to deal with these remnants.
The Space Marines hope to maintain sufficient advance speed.
For this reason, the huge Land Raiders and Leviathan Dreadnoughts, which were listed as sacred equipment by later chapters, were at the forefront, and they had fewer opportunities to open fire.
The attack range of the Titans is too far. Oftentimes, the ground that the Space Marines step on is burned to a scorched earth, and the huge craters will destroy the formation of the armored units.
The only chance to open fire was because there were so many sea urchins. From early morning till now, they had captured more than half of southern Iberia and were about to reach the coastline. The number of sea urchins began to increase. They kept emerging from the sea and rushed towards the human troops like a tsunami.
The humanoid fish-demons released spells one after another. Their mental attacks could not affect the Space Marines, nor could they break through the Titan's heavy armor to affect the driving crew inside. They could only release spells helplessly, causing explosions to bloom on the void shield, and then were swallowed up by the artillery fire from the sky.
The Astra Militarum troops behind the Space Marines did not have an easy life either. In addition to having to cross the bumpy craters filled with magma in teams, they also had to go to the caves marked by the Space Marines to clean out the remaining terror fish.
Since it is uncertain whether there is any poison gas left from the Space Marines, everyone has to install gas canisters on their visors.
Soldiers entered the complex cave system with flamethrowers and shotguns, and they could only move forward in the dark until drones thoroughly scanned the terrain.
The first ones to come to them were the Minghen that had eaten all the dead monster fish. At this time, they were more like another kind of monster fish. They were very aggressive and could even split into pieces. They were completely unlike the Minghen that everyone was familiar with.
They would pounce on the soldiers from dark corners, walls and angles, drill into their bodies and eat their flesh and organs. Those who were hit died horribly, and their pain could be seen from their distorted facial expressions.
Seeing that the soldiers who were hit were beyond help and were still enduring inhuman pain, the soldiers first shot them in the head to end their suffering, and then turned on the flamethrowers and burned them as they walked, leaving no corner untouched.
The flamethrower can only be used in the outer area of the cave system. If it is used further inside, it will hurt the soldiers themselves, so everyone has to switch to conventional weapons and advance slowly.
The traces of darkness along the way can only be cleared by consuming the energy of energy weapons.
Finally, when they heard the sound of water, the soldiers saw the terrifying fish hiding there. The two sides naturally started fighting when they met, but they did not have much advantage in numbers, and in the narrow terrain of the cave, the lethality of the shotgun and the melta cannon was maximized.
The Iberian War was going pretty well for the human side, but the situation for RemBit was a little more complicated.
Because the Astra Militarum's attack directions are divided into two, one is a relatively spacious plain, and the other is a canyon area. Titans naturally cannot go through the canyon area, but the advancement speed of both sides must be kept consistent.
For Luo Chen, this was a difficult problem. Even if there were more troops, the section of the canyon near the central part of Rembit was quite spacious, but the section near the southern part was very narrow and only pairs of people could pass through. The width of the canyon could only accommodate a dozen people at the same time, which was just enough for a super heavy tank to move in a straight line.
Hai Si also made use of this terrain advantage as much as possible. No matter how many times the Valkyries and Storm Crows cleared the cliffs on both sides, there were always terrifying fish ambushing on them.
But the troops on the plains began to attack again, and they had to fight.
So everyone discussed and decided not to use tanks as the spearhead, because they were too big and could not move around. Once blocked, the troops behind could not deploy. So the Chimera armored vehicle was used as the spearhead, but it was an improved version of the Chimera, larger in size, with three weapons. The main gun was a plasma weapon, and there were two heavy bolters.
Luo Chen personally led the Sun Guard as the first wave of assault teams. The most difficult point of the entire Rembilto battle was in this canyon. As long as they passed through here, the infantry only needed to follow the Titans and clean up the remnants.
Therefore, the commandos are composed entirely of strong core members.
Luo Chen’s task is to complete the most difficult preliminary attack.
As soon as they drove out of the corner of the canyon, they were attacked by a large number of Splashers. The Void Armor resisted the erosion of the body fluids of the Terror Fish, and the Sun Guards' tenacious spirit allowed them to withstand the mental attacks for a certain period of time.
Hai Si’s mental attack is also one of the reasons why everyone has to choose to divide the commandos into several waves. It is too difficult for mortals to resist such an attack.
The plasma shot out from the Chimera's main gun evaporated the giant beast in front of the terrifying fish. The members of the Sun Guard got off the car and shot at the terrifying fish. The two sides approached each other. The closer they were, the more lethal the human weapons were. The explosive weapons and incineration weapons caused great damage to the terrifying fish. By the time the two sides fought in close combat, there were only a few giant beasts left.
The void armor resisted the spikes and tentacles of the terror fish, and the engineering shovels and bayonets could easily destroy their bodies. The fourth and fifth squads, which were responsible for close combat, formed a Trick battle formation, with one soldier fighting against more than a dozen soldiers. Their power axes flew up and down, frequently bringing blood and broken limbs.
Luo Chen stood on the wing, using both laser pistol and power sword. The guards around him formed a formation and fired at the same time. The salvo from the Caliphland Hell Gun was extremely powerful, and a single salvo was enough to defeat the attack of the Terror Fish.
Luo Chen took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, entangled a human-shaped monster fish. The opponent used a magic staff to resist Luo Chen's attack, but it was immediately cut off by the power sword. Luo Chen took advantage of the fact that it had not yet used its hands to launch a spell attack and raised his gun to shoot a hole in its head.
The guards used their bayonets to push away the attackers around them, came in front of Luo Chen and fired again, driving back the terrifying fish one after another.
This cycle repeated itself, providing a good shooting environment for the Chimera armored vehicle. The plasma main gun and heavy explosives fired at the terrifying fish that kept pouring in from the distance. Without the constant support, the guard members were under much less pressure.
Tallulah and the others watched the first wave of troops attacking hard from behind, keeping a close eye on the time and route map.
"The troops on the plains have outnumbered us."
"There's enough time. We can catch up. Once the first batch of commandos complete their mission, the rest will follow quickly."
"They're almost through the first canyon."
Tallulah drew her sword and said to the stormtroopers behind her: "Get ready!"
Luo Chen used a laser pistol to shoot several terrifying fish that climbed down the rock wall, and saw that he was less than a hundred meters away from the turning point of the second section of the canyon.
"Mortar team, our unit has arrived at the target location and is firing as planned."
"received."
Luo Chen said in the internal communication of the Sun Guard: "Listen carefully, follow the plan. When the mortars arrive, we will first clean up the Hai Si around us, and then retreat. Don't be greedy and advance rashly. Leave the front line to the stormtroopers in the rear."
"Yes!"
The vehicle-mounted mortar came to a safe firing range, adjusted the angle, calculated the parabola and firing height, then loaded the ammunition. With crisp explosions, the mortar shells fell into the school of terrifying fish ten seconds later. The successive explosions killed Hai Si who was rushing to the battlefield.
When the guard members saw the mortars starting to bombard, the Trick battle formation was withdrawn, and the other guard members formed a shooting formation and fired a short but continuous volley, leaving themselves time and distance to retreat. Then, under the cover of two Chimeras, the Sun Guard withdrew from the battlefield, and the Stormtroopers led by W and Mudrock quickly took over the battlefield situation.
The guard members took off their helmets and took a breath. Each of them had bloodshot eyes and many of them were injured. They had been affected by the mental attack spells for too long. Those who had close combat with those humanoid fish-like creatures suffered the most serious mental trauma. Fortunately, they were still conscious and could slowly recover with proper treatment in the future.
Luo Chen took off his helmet, picked up the military water bottle, quickly took two gulps of water, and sat on the ground to rest.
Tallulah ran over and squatted down: "Are you okay?"
"It's nothing, I just feel a buzzing in my head."
"The Astra Militarum is ahead of us. We have to speed up."
"With the help of Titans, it's hard not to move fast with so many tanks. Once we take down the first section, we'll be much more relaxed. W and Mudrock should be able to take down the second section quickly. As for the last section, you and Froststar must move fast. This section is more important than the first. Be careful of mental attacks. If you're not careful..."
"I know. You and everyone else should have a good rest. I still have to go and supervise the battle."
Luo Chen nodded and told Tallulah to go quickly. He stood up and checked the condition of each guard member one by one, but he was not as good as those outrageous doctors in Rhodes Island, so he just gave a general look.
In the end, I could only sit with them, holding the kettle with my hands shaking, so I helped feed them some water.
"Boss, do we really want to go to Syracuse?" asked a captain.
"correct."
"Are we really going to follow a little girl and risk our lives in the future?"
"You are elite employees of Cardia and have the power to decide whether to stay or go. But to be honest, I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to hand over the company to Amiya. However, the demon king in the Sarkaz prophecy should not be as terrible as the prophecy says. Not to mention, the inheritance has been passed down to a Carter, which is a big variable."
"I don't believe in that prophecy. I just know that this demon king doesn't sound like a good person."
"Amiya, she's doing great. She's getting better and better as a leader."
"Boss, didn't you open a new company in Syracuse? All the brothers want to work with you."
"That's what I'm going to use for my retirement. An environmental manufacturing company. What are you guys who have fought in so many battles doing there? Sitting in a factory rubbing parts?"
"Boss, even if you don't tell me, the brothers know that after the fight with Hai Si, people have been targeting you, both openly and covertly. We have followed you since the Ursus incident. Now you tell us to leave, who wants to leave? If we leave, where can we get money?"
"Hey! This last sentence is the real one!"
"Well, since the brothers don't want to leave, we will accept it even if we have to work as security guards at the company gate."
"Oh, my small company is hiring big shots like you as security guards. Alas, that's really too much for me."
"Don't, don't, don't hurt our hearts."
