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

Chapter 522: Divination Needle Defense Battle (Please Subscribe)

The Ghost Fox Titans were the first to arrive at the battlefield. They moved extremely fast, and in the dim light they flickered like ghosts.

The low friction sound of the Titan's body was like the roar of an indescribable monster, while the roars of the machines contaminated by the power of chaos were even more horrifying.

The searchlight on the divining needle moved back and forth across the land. Giant flares were fired into the air, rising to the top and then slowly falling down, providing lighting support for the Titans and ground troops.

Elsa saw that the auspicious instrument was frantically sounding the alarm, and the enemy's red dot was surrounding an allied unit.

"It's the Iron Huntress! Oh my God, she's surrounded!"

The Demon Goddess and other War Titans output firepower at full capacity to support their allies in an effort to suppress the enemy's movement trajectory and open up a way out of the encirclement that is like a wolf pack hunting.

At this moment, on the high wall, the ground-based artillery and high-energy laser cannons controlled by the Dark Angel veterans themselves were being calibrated, while the mortals who were driven away were controlling equipment such as the Auspicious Spectrum to carry out auxiliary operations.

It has to be said that directly deploying Astartes as infantry units onto the battlefield might be an extremely wasteful way of fighting.

The real strength of the Astartes lies not in their extraordinary physical bodies, but in their extraordinary ability to learn and adapt.

Their brain's learning ability and reaction speed are far beyond that of ordinary people. Their microsecond-level reaction allows them to control the weapon system and lock onto the target while ordinary people are still shutting down.

Not to mention that in an extremely harsh environment like an artillery position, the high temperature directly emitted by the weapon system is enough to put the gunner on the verge of being scalded, and the shock wave generated by each roar of the cannon will cause hidden injuries in the body of a mortal soldier.

Don't expect the weapons of the Mechanicus to be very humane. They only care about whether they can perfectly perform their expected efficiency, and don't consider whether the operator will suffer any misfortune as a result.

But for Space Marines wearing full power armor, the environment here has no effect at all.

The turrets on the high walls had been assisting the Titan troops on the ground in defending, but the Dark Angels stationed here soon discovered that more enemies were coming from the sky.

There were countless drop pods from the rebel warships, and the signals showed that they were most likely from the Sons of Horus Legion.

"Damn it, these damn traitors are killed one after another, why can't they be killed completely?"

Some old Dark Angel soldiers complained, but their movements were not slow at all. They directly controlled the missile launch nests and heavy laser cannons on the high walls and fired accurately at the airborne capsules that were descending like meteors.

"The traitors used the Speed ​​​​Traitors in large numbers. They not only abandoned their loyalty to the Emperor, but also lost the honor of the Astartes."

"A large number of cannon fodder Astartes are nothing to be afraid of. When they lose their faith, they have lost everything."

The voice of Commander Faris Redros sounded in the communication channel. The Grand Master of Dreadwing clearly discovered that the combat effectiveness of the enemy that appeared in the later stage of the war was far inferior to the Sons of Horus in his impression.

The laser beams left traces in the dusty atmosphere. The most suitable environment for these light energy weapons is space without atmosphere. If used on a planet, the power will be reduced as the distance increases.

But even so, the imaginary enemy designed for these ground-based weapons they control is space battleships in orbit.

As long as it is swept by the laser cannon, even the airborne capsule made of pure gold will instantly explode into a ball of sparks, and those missiles will directly shatter after rising into the atmosphere, turning into dozens of small missiles to chase the enemy.

After losing part of the airborne drop chamber, the Sons of Horus slammed heavily on the ground at the edge of the high wall. Then the chamber door opened wide, and countless Astartes wearing demon-infused armor and more strange-looking Warp demons suddenly rushed out.

They are relying on their mobility to pour into the battlefield and try to climb up the high walls, release high-energy bombs to destroy the void shield generators, or simply kill all the defending garrisons.

Commander Redros remained extremely calm as he saw the Titans falling beneath the city walls.

The Predator-class Titan, the Iron Huntress, relied on its familiarity with the battlefield to dodge the dazzling laser beams unleashed by the enemy Warlord-class Titans. Due to the long war, the ground near the Divining Needle was cratered by orbital strikes. The Iron Huntress activated its plasma reactor and leaped into the massive depression, dodging the enemy's concentrated fire.

Seeing that its prey might escape, the Ghost Fox's warlord-class Titan immediately rushed over. It stood on the edge of the huge fault, hesitating whether to jump down as well.

The Swift Wild Dog and the Iron Cursor took the opportunity to fire from the blind spot, and the plasma cannons hit and stripped away the void shield behind the opponent.

The enemy immediately realized that there were other Titans ambushing and turned around to retreat to their own formation, but the Iron Huntress, which had fallen into the pit, had already released its long-charged volcanic cannon on its breastplate.

In an instant, one of Ghost Fox's warlord-class Titans fell. The huge explosion created a dazzling fireball. The turbulent shock wave and high temperature directly evaporated the ice and snow all over the sky. The ground presented a terrifying scene of a molten state, and countless crystalline objects were spread next to the Titan's corpse.

However, just as the Iron Huntress was about to evacuate from the huge fault, the Titans from the Ghost Fox concentrated their firepower here.

The devastating missile bombardment and seismic cannon sweep caused the Iron Huntress, which had just completed a kill, to fall down with hatred, and even its body was buried by the collapsed rock layers.

The situation on the battlefield changed too quickly. Even with the support of the ground-based defense system, the Empire's Titans were retreating in an irreversible manner.

The Demonic Goddess driven by Elsa was knocked back repeatedly by a ghost fox Titan named Dolores Ambassador. Her main weapon was still dissipating heat and storing energy, while the enemy pounced on her with an extremely brutal attitude.

Few Titans would engage in close combat in such a brutal manner. The Rebel Titan ferociously used its giant power claws to tear open a pipe near the cockpit of the Demon Goddess. It looked like it had torn open an artery in the Titan's neck.

The Demonic Goddess's tonnage and strength were far inferior to those of the Rebel Titan, which forced her to rely on more thrilling moves to dodge.

The Ambassador Dolores became more and more aggressive, and it seemed that the battle would be over as long as it could grab the body of the Demonic Goddess. The ferocious beast pounced forward, but rolled down with the Goddess under the huge fault behind it.

The two entangled Titans collided and crushed each other, falling a height of nearly 400 meters, and finally got stuck in the cracks of the fault and could not move.

They tried to break free, but found that as the amplitude of their movements increased, the rock layer that had originally trapped them was also collapsing.

There was still a bottomless abyss beneath them, with only the flash of explosion from above providing a ray of light. The Demon Goddess and Ambassador Dolores, the mortal enemies, were trapped here and could only see the enemy but were unable to kill each other.

Elsa felt the pain of the Demon Goddess through her synesthesia system and was able to defeat the strong with the weak. She and her Titan paid an extremely painful price. A large number of mechanical structures failed, and even the energy reactor reduced its output power.

She tried to finish off her opponent with the volcano cannon on her right arm, but it was stuck and she couldn't move.

Their current position was too delicate for either side to move. If they forced themselves to move, they would likely continue to fall into the bottomless pit and fault.

"Elsa!" The rebel Titan suddenly roared through the loudspeaker. The pilot had a deep connection with the captain of the Demon Goddess.

"I'm glad we can meet again, even though we're both trapped here instead of me holding your weak Titan's head and reminiscing about the past."

"Your Legion is so weak. You have abandoned your pride and chose to follow the false Messiah of Om on Terra. We are different from you. We get the real power from Chaos."

"Just wait until my army crushes all of you cysts to death. Why not make a bet and see who will have the last laugh?"

Aisha and the crew members were trapped in the cockpit. Faced with the imminent threat of death, she and her sisters had only one answer.

"What the hell are you barking about? Come on!"
