Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

Even many Titans have lost the control of their pilots and crews, and are attacking the rebel Titans completely independently.

On the battlefield filled with the machines of fallen gods, the Titans loyal to Om Messiah stumbled forward, stepped through the blazing flames, and used the volcanic cannons and earthquake cannons mounted on their arms, and even plasma annihilators to hit the enemy.

A missile launch port opened on the back of the Titan, and tens of thousands of Apocalypse-class missiles, with long tails of flame, descended into the rebel camp like a divine punishment sky.

Loyal plasma never overheats, and even live ammunition weapons can continuously spit out expended shells, yet still maintain 100% firepower suppression.

The ground was shaking violently. A horrific earthquake that was powerful enough to tear apart the continental shelf finally reached here from the back of the planet. Suddenly, several bottomless giant cracks opened up, swallowing up countless Titan corpses, even the Titans that were still fighting.

"This may be the largest ground war in the history of the human empire. Space Marines are used as mortal auxiliary forces, and Titans are used as light vehicles. Even if a Titan legion is thrown in, it won't make a bubble."

Luo Xi felt very upset. So many outstanding warriors, so many veterans of hundreds of battles, and so many Titan machines were facing each other with swords under the trajectory of the evil god. Whether it was loyalty or betrayal, it was the power of mankind itself that fell.

His hatred for Chaos became more and more deep-rooted.

"Our different positions and different beliefs make it impossible for us to reconcile. We can pay any price and make any sacrifice just to ensure that humanity will not fall and our race will survive!" Sanguinius said with great determination.

"No betrayal is too small to forgive, no sacrifice too great to accept."

"Even if today is the day of Titan's destruction, even if we have paid an extremely heavy price, as long as the sacrifice is not in vain, we can sacrifice again and again!"

"Horus will never succeed. He may be able to gain victory after victory, but when the final battle comes, he will know that victory has never been on his side."

"It seems that Vashtor has completely abandoned them. These rebellious Titan legions are being strangled to death."

"This is good news for me. The Lord of the Furnace has retreated temporarily."

The ambitious Vashtor has not taken any follow-up action since the confrontation with Roxi at the Black Stone Fortress, which has caused Roxi to have more doubts and speculations in his heart.

But at least this guy hasn't done anything bad yet, which is good news amidst the bad news.

At this moment, Luo Xi was watching this most grand and spectacular Titan war in the history of the empire from a more macro perspective.

Or it can be called the Death of Titan.

The Empire deployed about thirty Titan Legions on one planet, including even a top-notch luxurious lineup such as the Flame Sun Titan Legion that Roche brought from the Five Hundred Worlds.

The rebels also have more than twenty Titan legions as pawns. These Titans corrupted by the Warp have stronger vitality and mobility, and have already shown the signs and characteristics of the four evil gods.

The Sun Titan Legion has proven its strength and might, with the Sovereign-type Emperor-class Titan: Fist of Ultramar as its tactical core and four Warmonger-type Emperor-class Titans as its main vanguard. This youngest Titan Legion has allowed many old veterans to see what unwarranted outsiders are like.

The Sun Titan Legion has a distinct style of the Extreme Warriors, which is absolute quantity and satisfaction.

They were built only a few years ago, and were an emergency expansion of the Titan Legion by the Lord of the Limits in response to the Shadow Crusade launched by his traitorous brothers. Therefore, the Sun Titan Legion does not have any well-known tactical characteristics or combat style.

The Legion's regular military strength had reached nearly 250 Titans, and after the war began it was urgently expanded to more than 300 Titans.

The vast majority of Titans are heavy Titans, with only a few Warhound-class Titans filling the battlefield gaps in mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare.

As for the ancient first-level Titan legions like the Death Skulls and Fire Bees, their numbers fluctuate only around 200. Especially due to the years of heavy wars, these legions often dispersed their forces and were always in a partially full state.

When an entire army of Flame Sun Titans comes forward, the enemy will discover one thing: why are there so many strange Titans with brilliant blue Ω marks?

Many of the crippled Titan Legions even needed two or three to contend with the Sun Titan Legion, which made this legion almost a trump card in Sanguinius's hand, especially since this trump card was very obedient.

Roche used new and efficient technology to create this Titan Legion, so it is not bound by too many old customs and rules of the Mechanicus. It can almost be said that they can attack wherever they point, which makes people feel extremely reassured.

So far, the Yanyang Titan Legion has lost nearly one-fifth of its troops, and the conventional forces that can be mobilized are still more than two hundred. They have demonstrated stronger survivability and repair capabilities than their cousins.

With Roche's amplification and blessing, the war inevitably began to transform from confrontation to massacre. Many Titans attacked each other in the ruins formed by the orbital space station. The Empire's Titan Corps was gradually occupying the hive cities controlled by the rebels.

It took half a Terran moon for the intermittent explosions to disappear from the world of Betagarmon II, and the rebel Titan legion was declared completely extinct.

The Empire completely lost seven Titan Legions. These ancient beings had emptied their organization. If the Mechanicus did not intend to revive them, these seven Titan Legions would probably disappear into history.

The remaining Titan legions suffered more or less damage, and in some of the worst-hit ones, only a single digit of Titans were left alive, almost on the brink of total annihilation.

Roche and Sanguinius joined forces to almost wipe out most of the rebels on the planet, echoing Lion Johnson who was clearing the battlefield in space.

"This is an exciting victory. We have destroyed most of the rebels in Horus' camp, including their fleets and ground Titan forces."

In front of Roche was the combat meeting of the Primarchs. All the Primarchs currently in the Beta Garmon system were participating in the meeting in the form of holographic projections.

"But...what about Horus? Where is he?"

Faced with this question, everyone was silent.

"The rebel fleet led by the Spirit of Vengeance has retreated to several planetary worlds on the edge of the galaxy for garrison. They are relying on the fortifications and orbital systems they have built over the years to resist stubbornly."

Ryan Johnson's magnetic voice sounded in the projection. He seemed to be in an extremely excited state every moment, because he was the winner in the final battle against Horus.

But he had not yet achieved real results - only by capturing or killing the warmaster could they claim a complete victory.

"According to my several attempts, Horus is not on the Spirit of Vengeance. The opponent is clearly showing a different tactical style. That is not Horus."

"Horus cannot escape. He may fight to the death, but he will never run away." Leman Russ, who was still bedridden, expressed his opinion. In fact, in his heart, he still did not think that Horus had lost the war.

"Don't be happy too soon, brothers. He must be planning a bigger conspiracy."

When an individual possesses god-like power, what does it matter even if the war forces under his command are annihilated?

As long as Horus is still the one chosen by the four gods, they will not be able to defeat him even if they gather all their legions. This is the absolute gap in strength.

"Leman Russ is right. Horus is no longer the mortal enemy we imagine. We should view him as an invincible natural disaster."

Chagatai Khan was still in shock, after all, he almost died at the hands of Horus.

He and Leman Russ had both had experience of fighting each other in person, so they naturally understood that Horus today could only be dealt with by the Emperor himself.

Although they are reluctant to admit it, there are still some beings in this world that the Primarchs and Legions cannot deal with.

Everyone's eyes moved back and forth on the star map in front of them, and finally locked their target on another star.

"The world of Betagarmon III."

The world that Horus was most likely to go to was also the place that they had always ignored.

In the previous war, the Empire had detected that most of Horus' forces were concentrated on the world of Betagarmon II. Therefore, in order to completely defeat the enemy, Sanguinius also transferred the Empire's Titan Legion to Planet II.

Betagarmon III is only garrisoned by a few loyal Titans and Knight Families drawn from various legions. They guard the vicinity of the Astropathic Communication Tower named "Divination Needle" to ensure the normal operation of the Astropathic Communication Center.

But would Horus abandon most of his Titan legions as bait to attract the attention of the loyalists?

Could it be that the Blackstone Fortress and space fleet that they defeated were also false targets?

Giving up most of one's own strength in exchange for a chance to deceive the world is too crazy... right?

When this thought came to his mind, Luo Xi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and an ominous premonition was spreading.

But it's not impossible.

Such a counterintuitive war strategy just fits the tactical style of the Sons of Horus Legion: take risky moves and fight to the death in order to survive.

Chapter 519 Ohm Messiah Has a Decree (asking for monthly tickets)

Chapter 519: Om Messiah has the intention to use most of his forces as bait and traps to attract the enemy's attention. This is undoubtedly an extremely bold and arrogant strategic plan.

Did Horus really think that even a single surprise force would be enough to turn the tide of the battle?

But after everyone thought about the possibilities in their hearts, they could only reluctantly admit that if the person who implemented this plan was Horus, then it would definitely be possible to achieve it.

Sanguinius was not very good at large-scale troop command and macro-operations. He was more suitable to be a general who charged into battle. It was really difficult for him to compete with Horus in strategic planning and tactical deception.

Luo Xi turned his attention to Ryan Johnson, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and all the arrangements were made by him.

The Lion King had a gloomy look on his face. He focused most of his attention on the space fleet operations and the capture of Betagarmon II, and paid much less attention to World III.

"I have asked Grand Master Redros of the Dreadwing to lead a thousand elite veterans to garrison the defense zone where the Divining Needle is located. By the Emperor, I hope everything will be in time."

"There is also a group of Imperial Fists warriors stationed there, and there are about 3,000 Astartes and Mechanicus forces resisting the enemy."

Ryan Johnson had indeed taken strategic planning to the extreme. He could not possibly gamble on whether Horus would place his main target on an insignificant battlefield.

The initiative on the battlefield was always in the hands of Horus. This strategic leader among the Primarchs did not seek victory at the tactical level, but strategic gains and losses.

An indescribable complex emotion emerged in the hearts of the Calibans. He defeated Horus's space fleet, and with the help of Sanguinius, annihilated most of the Warmaster's Titan legions and ground forces.

But...did he really win?

Ryan's fingers clenched into iron fists silently, and the imperceptible tremor was not noticed by anyone except Luo Xi.

The determination in his heart to compete with Horus suddenly dissipated.

The Lion King realized one thing, that is, his inner struggle and choices were meaningless. On the contrary, this might become a tiny flaw that could be caught by Horus.

If you fight a war to defeat Horus, you will only be led by your opponent, and the initiative will always be in Horus' hands.

"I am Lion's Jonson, supreme commander of the Imperial Army. All my wisdom is dedicated to defeating the enemy."

"What I seek is not for my own narrow desires. My side is only for humanity and the Emperor."

"Personal emotions and honor are meaningless. Only loyalty is our creed."

In an instant, Ryan Johnson's temperament seemed to have changed, and that extremely subtle feeling of twistedness quietly dissipated.

His eyes, which were dark but tinged with a hint of green, became clear and transparent, and the distracting thoughts that troubled and entangled him seemed to be burned away by a fire, leaving only steaming dust.

Luo Xi realized that Ryan might have taken a solid step on the road to improving his spiritual realm, which was undoubtedly a good thing.

Although Ryan now tries his best to be a good commander, in Luo Xi's opinion, his character is still that of a general. He can grasp the grand battle situation, but cannot grasp the hearts of people, including himself.

After understanding Horus' true strategic intention, Lion immediately ordered the troops currently on the world of Betagarmon II to evacuate immediately and return to the transport ships in orbit to wait.

Apart from the fact that it has not been hit by an extinction order, this planet has almost become a dead place. Hundreds of Titans have died in battle here, and more human bones have been buried under the wind and sand.

He had a bad premonition that if he remained on the surface of the planet, something unexpected might happen.

The lion's beast instincts are always amazingly accurate, whether in private hunting or commanding large troops.

However, faced with the orders from the commander, the unruly Titan Legion was not so cooperative.

They did not directly disobey orders, but they always found various reasons to delay, prevaricate or even pretend to obey.

"In the name of the God of All Machines, we must recycle all the damaged Titan wreckage before we can leave. No mechanical soul can be discarded without value."

"They will be taken back to the world where they were born, and after being judged by the foundry director, the wreckage will be repaired or recast."

This was the reply given to Ryan Johnson by one of the three commanders selected by the Mechanicus.

Their will was clear: they were unwilling to evacuate until all the valuable wreckage on Betagarmon II was dug out.
