Chapter 460 Black and Red, Planning in the Shadows (Forty-Five) Belief

The war started again, and this time the Imperial soldiers guarding the Evergreen Hill faced an overwhelming force of demon corps and the main force of the Word Bearers.

The fallen Knight Family Gaocuis led a large number of demons to march forward, and the Demon Engine, the Titan Corps and even the armored forces of the Word Bearers tilted towards the Empire's positions with unimaginable artillery fire.

On the three-dimensional defense line built on the mountain, one defensive barrier after another was overturned by heavy shells, and one after another firepower point in the front position was exposed, and was immediately concentrated and penetrated by explosive weapons and plasma weapons.

The artillery interception of the warriors of the Tindalos Legion posed almost no threat to the knights of Gaocuis, and in the hidden fortifications under the position, the Knight Titans belonging to the Heper Forge World were anxiously waiting for the order to join the battlefield.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer." An old soldier in black combat uniform smiled and rejected the application of the leader of the Knight Family, and there were traces of gunpowder burning on the ground battlefield in his eyebrows.

Although the two knight families were very dissatisfied, they showed surprising respect to the old man.

Because the old man in front of them was the leader of this mortal army, and this unknown mortal army had won the respect of the guards of the Mechanicus with their rare will and strong strength in the war over the past week.

"Your warriors are bleeding and dying." The leader of the Shaffer family said seriously.

"And our intention is only to join this war." The leader of the Ponte family continued the former's words.

"No, the time has not come yet, please believe them." The old man patted the dust on his body and explained to the two, and then plunged into the ground position under the protection of the guards.

The representatives of the two imperial military nobles were powerless to do anything about it, and could only return to their assembly point helplessly after looking at each other.

"Charge! Punch through them! Tear them apart! Let us use the iron and fire in our hands to tell them that destruction is the only truth!"

The knights of Gaocuis were roaring madly, and the attendant knight mechas and mechas around them were also responding.

The process of their charge was too smooth, and everything within their sight was burned in the previous artillery fire. Those mortals who served the empire seemed to have collapsed. At least within the ten kilometers where the hunting group composed of knight titans launched the charge, there was no target that could threaten them.

"Hunger! Blood! Killing! Soul!" The demons around them were all kinds of strange, and they were given all kinds of twisted and hideous appearances in the process of descending into the real universe.

And their desires were so unified, and their blasphemous and inhuman voices echoed repeatedly, and finally condensed into these four words that could be understood and represent their core desires.

At a distance of ten kilometers, the heavy footsteps of the Knight Titans can be felt, and the roar of the demons in the subtle tremors of the ground is like an inaudible noise;

At a distance of five kilometers, the black and red demons have entered the range of direct vision, and the Imperial front at the bottom of the mountain is suffocatingly quiet except for the craters left by the heavy artillery and the flames that fill the field of vision;

At a distance of three kilometers, the Knight Titans have passed the most tense stage and have begun to relax.

The madman in the Iron Throne began to urge the machine soul under his feet, and the twisted machine soul also responded. The heavy footsteps began to turn from slow to fast, and the giants accelerated and emerged from the demon tide, eager to taste the first drop of blood and death.

And at the moment they left the demon tide sequence, countless black figures appeared from the trenches, and more individual anti-material threats appeared on the screen in front of the fallen knights.

At a distance of one kilometer, the knights who were still frantically speeding up their pace had no time to react. These silent legions, which were completely different from all the imperial legions, began their long-planned counterattack.

No war cry, no call;

No fear, no hesitation.

These silent mortals launched a brave and deadly counterattack from the broken positions, and they did not even utter a groan when they were hit by artillery fire and died.

No identity, no honor;

No name, no fear.

These mortal troops that were unfamiliar to the mutineers could only hear cold orders and a series of meaningless numbers from the communication channel under the decryption of the battlefield communication by the Fallen.

A commander was hit by a stray bullet and fell to the ground, and the subsequent commander stood up from the trench. A high-ranking general was killed by concentrated fire, and another middle-level officer immediately took his place.

The fallen swore that they had never seen such an army, and none of them had ever seen a military organization that treated the sacrifice of its members so equally.

So much so that even this ancient family, known for its tyranny, would feel a hint of coldness and fear in their hearts while fighting.

Rows of mechanical servants were knocked down, organized demon cavalry were killed, and the tall squire knight mechas were killed together with the soldiers who turned out of the trenches holding bombs. The seemingly invincible Knight Titan also stopped in front of this cold and equal death.

And this is the purpose of the Tindalos Legion. What they hope to achieve with such heavy casualties is to block the spearhead of the enemy's offensive - the armored cluster led by the Fallen Knight Titan.

It was at this time that the Imperial Knights who had been ready for a long time finally saw the gate in front of the bunker where they were hiding opened.

And the leaders of the two Knight families saw more clearly that at the end of the field of vision outside the gate in front, a young officer picked up the communicator from a familiar and broken body and shouted to them for the first time since the war:

"Now! For the Emperor! For mankind! Charge!"

"For the Emperor?"

This battle cry seemed a little strange to the ears of the two nobles who lived in the Forge World and obeyed the rule of the Mechanicus from time to time.

They almost forgot how long they had not shouted such slogans, and even forgot why they fought for the interests of the Forge World again and again.

But who cares? Does it matter?

In this situation, these knights who were more loyal to the Mechanicus than the Empire were finally completely shocked by the warriors of the Tindalos Legion.

They finally put aside their pride in mortals and began to look squarely and respectfully at these warriors and the Empire they represented.

"For... Humanity! For the Emperor!" The unfamiliar war cry could not cover up the knights' strong fighting spirit, and behind this war cry that they had accepted was the belief that they had re-understood!

The Imperial Knights, who were far fewer than the Fallen Knights, descended from the heights of Evergreen Hill and began to launch a series of fatal attacks on the Fallen in a gradually accelerating charge.

The distance between the two armored groups was rapidly closing, and the Fallen Knights, who were originally the charging party, were now retreating in embarrassment under the attacks of the Tindalos Legion and the Imperial Knights.

The demon tide behind them was still approaching, and the golden Imperial Eagle emblem on the Evergreen Hill belonging to the Empire was also shining.

The lives of two different camps are swaying their lives on such a small battlefield because of their respective loyalty and courage, greed and tyranny.

And if we zoom out from the perspective of the entire battlefield, the two sides of the war at this moment, against the backdrop of the forces behind them, the movement and stillness of their impact and counter-impact, become a picture in the countless wars between the Empire and Chaos - an eternal picture.

Second update.
