Their tactical vehicles, after being uniquely modified from the Chogoris Eagle, are several times faster than the standard Imperial vehicles, allowing them to move freely across the battlefield and leave the enemy no chance to breathe.
If ordinary Imperial troops or even other Space Marines were to drive this type of vehicle, the result would be the destruction of both the vehicle and the crew. However, the genetic descendants of Chagatai possessed the reaction speed to keep up with such ultra-high-speed actions.
Since it was difficult to catch the enemy in close combat, the Federation commander quickly ordered a covering strike with long-range firepower, but they soon discovered that these soldiers had a strange psychic influence that weakened their presence and the Federation's fire control system was unable to accurately lock onto the target.
To make matters worse, the White Scars weren't simply fleeing. They exploited the twisting terrain of the Webway, repeatedly conducting tactical penetrations and raids. They even took advantage of gaps in the Federation's formations to charge inside them, further disrupting the Federation's formation.
Some federal soldiers even underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, stepping into a trap and not knowing where they would be teleported to.
This situation put the federal troops in a dilemma.
If they chose to pursue Guilliman, these high-speed warriors would constantly harass their rear, tear their ranks apart, and cause them to lose strength through raids, completely disrupting their offensive rhythm.
If they chose to annihilate this intercepting force, they would have to expend a great deal of time and energy in arranging a tight battle array, during which time Guilliman would completely escape.
And in this chaotic dilemma, Guilliman had already distanced himself from his pursuers and completely escaped the Federation's lock.
……
When the Federation pursuers realized that their prey had escaped, anger instantly ignited their hearts.
They were unwilling to let the Primarch of the Empire go, so they decided to completely annihilate the White Scar Legion's troops, or at least to barely recover some interest.
But as they locked onto the battlefield, they found themselves catching another big fish.
That kind of psychic reaction is on the same level as Robert Guilliman.
Another Primarch appeared before their eyes?
The Federation will never miss this unexpected gain. Although this goal is inconsistent with their original intention of coming here, it is enough to make back their investment.
178
Chapter 178: Space version of Dragon City Flying General.
The Helka Federation's legions stopped their pursuit deep in the Webway.
Originally, they were pursuing Robert Guilliman with all their might, following the high-mobility tactical protocol, attempting to use their superior speed to snuff out the Blue Demigod's escape route.
However, the sudden appearance of the White Scars completely disrupted the Federation's plans. Chagatai Khan's army swept through the Webway like a whirlwind, interweaving and attacking at incredible speeds, throwing the Federation's main force into chaos in a short period of time.
Helka's commanders realized that it was no longer realistic to continue with the original tactics and had to make a decision, so they gave up the original big fish and chose the most ruthless response.
They gave up speed, stopped using a fluid form of warfare, and stopped their swift pace that could have spanned the galaxy.
They chose to stop and launch the most destructive form of warfare of the Helka Federation: the Mass War Protocol.
As we all know, size is the best way to crush a nomadic empire.
……
As the highest order was issued, countless nanorobots spread out in the structure of the network, like invisible tides seeping into every inch of space, frantically devouring, transforming, and reshaping the form of this battlefield.
The Webway, the extradimensional passage connecting the galaxy, is now being transformed into an inescapable cage by Helka's will.
Just like a certain very unhappy Daemon Primarch would do, he's bound to be even more upset about us plagiarizing the idea of the Iron Cage. Never mind, he's got more to be upset about.
Jaghatai Khan quickly sensed something was amiss, and his warriors observed that the once unfettered borders of the Webway were beginning to crumble and reorganize.
Countless nanostructures grew rapidly like waves, constructing huge mechanical fortresses.
The White Scars warriors tried to evade these changes with swift maneuvers, but Helka's weapons were more cunning than they imagined. Every time they adjusted their path, the nanostructures would rapidly expand, creating new obstacles and luring them deeper into the trap.
The real killer move appeared when the war machines of the Helka Federation arrived.
……
The Helka Federation's "ACU" class mechanical combat bodies rained down on the Cyberway battlefield. The arrival of each mechanical combat body was a disaster.
These behemoths are not just fighting machines, they are the seeds of war and the representatives of efficient warfare.
Each ACU battle unit can produce a complete military base and mechanized army in a short period of time. These military units will continue to expand and produce more battle units, artillery emplacements, and bunkers...
They are endless.
Within just a few hours, Chagatai Khan's White Scars Army discovered that they were surrounded by countless small military fortresses.
Each fortress was built by the ACU combat body personally, and they are linked together and echo each other, forming an indestructible blockade line.
Initially, the White Scars attempted to break through these strongholds, but soon realized they were stuck in an endless quagmire.
Helka's tactics were never purely defensive, but rather continuous erosion. When the White Scars' cavalry raided a stronghold, they would find that a new mechanical fortress had taken shape on the other side of the battlefield, and a new mechanical army was closing in on them at an even faster pace.
Jaghatai Khan realized he could not delay any longer. He had to lead the charge himself. At his command, the White Scars regrouped, their psychic energy reverberating through their ranks.
They are the best knights in the galaxy. Under the guidance of their genetic father, the entire legion is like a sharp arrow, stabbing straight towards the core of Helka's defense line.
……
The Helka Federation's AI command core responded quickly, mobilizing more ACU combat units to intercept.
The flames of war burned in every corner of the Webway, and both sides were advancing their tactical operations at the fastest speed.
The White Scars hope to carve out a way out before the Federation completes its total blockade, while the Federation wants to completely block the other side's escape route before they can successfully break through.
Ultimately, the breakout was not as successful as the White Scars had hoped.
Helka's war machine ultimately gained an absolute advantage. The terrain of the Webway was no longer the void they were familiar with, but a shrinking purgatory.
The mechanical army continued to grow, the blockade became increasingly solid, and Chagatai Khan's knights fell into an unprecedented desperate situation. They were like horses stuck in a quagmire, no matter how hard they struggled, they could not break free from Helka's shackles.
Even though they had switched to hoverbikes, and even though their mobility remained among the strongest in the galaxy, they could no longer survive by relying on speed and guerrilla tactics. The mechanical fortresses of the Helka Federation had completely destroyed their most crucial advantage. They were no longer the predators of the Webway, and there was no way back.
……
On the battlefield, Chagatai Khan raised his head, and wherever he looked, he saw alien troops.
The legions of the Helka Federation are still besieging the White Scars, their mechanical war machines advancing relentlessly, squeezing the White Scars' living space.
Chagatai knew his troops were on the brink of life and death, yet he still held his sword tightly, his will to fight unwavering.
"We can negotiate a condition."
At that moment, a strange sound penetrated the din of the battlefield and reached his ears. This was no ordinary mecha marching sound; it was orderly, steady, and impeccable. Then, a tall figure broke through the layers of dust and slowly stepped into the center of the battlefield.
It was a Helka Federation "Flying General" class warframe, or so-called Warframe.
It was unlike any ordinary ACR war machine, or even any conventional Federation combat robot. Instead, it was an unprecedented synthetic super-soldier, the pinnacle of Helka technology. Its slender figure and ornate armor made it resemble a god of war.
Its powered halberd pointed vertically toward the ground, and the combat vehicle "Shenjun" hovered in the air, waiting for its master to strike.
Chagatai Khan narrowed his eyes, feeling an unprecedented sense of oppression.
This war machine was unlike any enemy he had ever seen. In a sense, it was more like a real warrior than a cold war machine.
Just like the legendary Iron Man.
……
He was right. This "Flying General" class war frame was the product of the Federation's most outstanding synthetic technology. It had a complete ACU architecture and special modifications designed to enhance individual combat power.
Including the integrated weapon "Mushuang", a reusable weapon that can be transformed into six forms: slashing, stabbing, hitting, swinging, cutting, and shooting.
The intelligent combat vehicle "Shenjun" is an all-terrain mount with a thinking core that is in parallel with the flying general.
There is also a computational intelligence core called the "Heroic Spirit-level Psionic Thinking Circuit" that was trained by referring to historical heroes.
He is the latest product of the Canghui Galaxy Ascension Project. Its manufacturing difficulty is like the Empire's precision equipment, and it is even difficult to mass-produce it at present.
……
"Jaghatai Khan, Primarch."
The flying general's voice was low and firm, with a sense of confidence.
"The Helka Federation challenges you to a duel."
Chagatai had a strange feeling because the Flying General himself made meaningless mechanical sounds, and the real synthetic voice was spoken by his mount.
Regardless, the opponent slowly raised the power halberd, and the sharp blade reflected a cold light in the light of the battlefield.
"If you can defeat us, the Federation will make way for the White Scars to evacuate."
Shen Jun's voice was calm, as if announcing a predetermined fate. "But if you are defeated, the White Scars must surrender."
The battlefield fell silent for a moment. All the White Scars held their breath, their eyes fixed on Chagatai Khan, awaiting his decision.
The Khan was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Normally, aliens wouldn't make such a request. If I don't accept it, wouldn't that be unethical?"
The Khan drew his sword and spear.
"Although I am a barbarian, I am not a coward."
"We are Helka's 'Flying Generals'. We treat all the heroes in the world as worthless."
The flying general's voice was still calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
"We are well aware of what you have done. Although you come from a barbaric background, you should also be aware of the current situation and understand the will of heaven. As a wise bird chooses its own tree to roost in. Since you have so many grievances against the Empire, why not join our Star Sea Community and build a world of universal peace together?"
Chagatai remained noncommittal. "As for the aliens, the ones I've seen before are similar to Ran Dan's."
"In any case, if you want us to surrender, it depends on how much weight you have." He turned over and mounted his vehicle, psychic power rising around him, and his hoverbike left a trail on the battlefield.
The next moment, fighting broke out.
……
"The empire is more corrupt than all the most corrupt dynasties in human memory combined!"
“But there’s no better choice!”
The showdown between the two masters is about to begin.
The Flying General went into rescue operation, its combat vehicle "Shenjun" rushed out like a gust of wind, and its flowing body crossed the battlefield like a thunderbolt.
Chagatai was not to be outdone. His hoverbike drifted erratically, like a horse in the wind, carving complex paths through the air. They crossed on the battlefield, and the moment spears and power halberds collided, a deafening sonic boom erupted.
The Flying General's attack was extremely fierce. The "unparalleled" weapon system in his hand suddenly unfolded, and a variety of different attack methods were used in an instant.
Chagatai relied on his superhuman speed and powerful psychic powers to dodge at the critical moment, and swept his spear across with his backhand, creating a storm and trying to repel his opponent.
The two sides intertwined between light and shadow, testing each other, attacking, dodging, and counterattacking. Each confrontation was so fast that it exceeded the visual limits of ordinary people, and hundreds of rounds were fought in an instant.
The White Scars' soldiers watched the battle with bated breath, while Helka's AI analysis system was frantically calculating the winning rates of both sides.
It had been a long time since Chagatai Khan had faced such a formidable foe. Although mechanical, its fighting style was strangely familiar, as if the shadows of some great heroes had reappeared in its movements.
But he still didn't retreat. A White Scar warrior would never bow his head on the battlefield.
However, at one point, he made a tiny mistake. His spear was slightly delayed after a series of attacks, and the flying general's computing intelligence instantly seized this flaw.
The "Unparalleled" weapon system suddenly converged, and all combat systems instantly became one, forming an extreme sharp edge that pierced the core of Chagatai's vehicle like lightning.
Chagatai tried his best to avoid it, but he was ultimately one step behind.
His hoverbike was chopped into pieces by a single blow, and then he was knocked flying by the opponent's halberd handle, fell to the ground, and then had a sharp blade stabbed at his throat.
The outcome is decided!
The flying general of Longcheng in space still defeated the Hu horse of Yinshan in space.
179
Chapter 179 A win-win ending.
Obviously, the Webway environment has both advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult to fully unleash one's psychic powers here, which led to Chagatai's ultimate defeat at the hands of the Federation's most elite war machine.
Although if we go outside, the ones who come to fight us in a one-on-one duel will probably be Solkan or even Sigma, and our chances of winning will be even worse.
When Chagatai Khan's hoverbike was shot down, the soldiers of the White Scar Legion finally couldn't hold back.
They could not accept that their Khan was defeated by an iron man. This was an intolerable humiliation for them.
So, the angry nomadic warriors suddenly drew their weapons, started their engines, and rushed towards the federal position in an orderly manner.
It was one thing for the Iron Man to challenge the Khan to a battle of honor, but after the Khan was defeated, they had to respond.
However, their heroic actions did not work as hoped.
……
The Helka Federation's intelligent combat computer had already predicted this situation.
