Chapter 461 Black and Red, the Plot in the Shadows (Forty-Six) ​​The Knight's Sorrow

Daily (random) thoughts: The victory or defeat of a war is often decided in an instant, and any tiny detail may determine the outcome.

At the foot of the Evergreen Hill, two huge steel groups are just like their names, like knights riding war horses and holding high their lances. While attacking each other on the epic stage, they also handed their fate to the goddess of fate.

But unlike the medieval duel, there is never real fairness on the real battlefield.

And it is the selfless sacrifice of the mortal soldiers of the Tindalos Legion that gives these imperial knights that tiny advantage when facing more enemies.

+ Distance 2245m, target unit has plasma reaction...+

The machine soul of the imperial knight roared to its driver, and in the heavily armored Titan core, the knight surrounded by cables on the iron throne closed his eyes, sensing and controlling this huge steel giant with all his spirit.

"Their ion shield is on the lower side. It takes time to adjust. This is our chance!" The voice of the knight leader mixed with the Titan's machine soul, sounding in the communication channel with a hoarse voice that was not human.

The imperial knights of the two families found the enemy's loopholes, so in a few seconds, the machine soul received the order from the driver, and the weapon array above their heads began to emit steam preheated by circuits and pipelines.

+ Distance 2150m, entering the weapon strike range...+

The knight Titans continued to move forward, and the six giants in the first row stopped in unison.

The missile launch nests above their heads suddenly flipped up, and the fallen knights at the foot of the mountain were entangled and unable to deal with it.

A total of 18 Storm Spear rockets with ammunition were all fired in a triple-shot rhythm in the violent tail flames.

More than a hundred missiles with scarlet, death-threatening warnings took advantage of the window where the knights below could not adjust the angle of the ion shields, and flew closer and closer in their eyes.

The automatic cannons on the shoulders of the giants were firing frantically, trying to intercept these deadly projectiles.

But it was not easy to intercept such a saturation attack, just to say that this was only the first wave of attacks by the Imperial Knights.

After the giants on the hillside finished firing, they continued to shoot forward with the Hell Cannons, and the subsequent Knight Titans stood at the position where the former had just stopped, and continued to maintain the suppressive firepower with more missiles.

At the foot of the mountain, the Fallen Knights finally cleared the threat of the mortals, but the attack from above was already close at hand.

They desperately adjusted the height of the ion shield, but those missiles that were designed to attack the top in an arc had arrived first.

The hard metal collided with the armor, and the high-energy explosives in the warhead ignited instantly. The long-pole-like armor-piercing cones struggled forward to tear apart the obstacles, and then turned into a hot metal jet to penetrate the armor, and then tore and burned the long-rotten flesh in the armor, and finally turned it into charcoal...

All this happened in a short period of less than ten seconds, and it was at this moment of contact that a total of twelve members of the Gaocuisi family's steel group died here.

The subsequent knights began to counterattack, and the two Knight Titans belonging to the Empire also began to suffer casualties on the way to the charge.

But they were the party that took the initiative in the attack after all. The charge from a high position gave them a strong kinetic advantage, and more Ranger-type Knight Titans also gave them full convenience in close combat.

The huge giants spread out the chainsaw swords of more than 5 meters horizontally while running. After firing the last shell in the barrel, these giants rushed directly into the armored array of the Gaocuisi family with the terrifying kinetic energy accumulated for two kilometers.

Boom!

Two intensive explosions sounded together, and the giant's blade slashed through the waist of his fallen fellow.

The sound of metal breaking and the wailing of the machine soul rang in his ears, and the armor fragments splashed on his chest at the moment when the ion shield was overloaded.

However, at this time, he had already stepped out of the enemy's shooting range. While colliding with another Knight Titan head-on, the swinging chainsaw sword also harvested another fallen soul.

The same scene appeared on the entire front battlefield. The same dozen giants used their cold will to collide with hundreds of tons of steel, once again replaying the scene of the medieval heavy knights attacking the enemy formation with their own strength.

The enemy's resistance continued, but more and more knights attacked later...

The array belonging to the Chaos Knights on the battlefield was gradually torn and pierced, and then divided and surrounded.

The black and red paintwork on the battlefield became less and less, while the Empire's gold and blue giants became more and more.

The enemy finally collapsed. Under the covering firepower of the Titan Legion in the rear, the remaining Knight Titans slowly retreated to the main camp.

After harvesting some of the remaining demons and fallen knights, the Imperial Knights who tried to pursue also retreated to the foot of the mountain under the cover of the Imperial position, dragging their fallen comrades and damaged Titans back to the position.

On the position halfway up the mountain, the giants responsible for long-range support were still shooting, while the surviving Tindalos soldiers at the foot of the mountain were in the trenches full of smoke and flames, looking up at this apocalyptic and heroic scene...

"We won?" a young knight asked in a trance.

He had just completed the armor ceremony and stepped into the battlefield for the first time, participating in this apocalyptic battle. And this most bloody and tragic exchange between giants made it difficult for him, who thought he was the master of war, to accept it.

"No." Another older knight drove the Titan and dragged the remains of the deceased family leader past him.

He pointed to the distant cannon sound on the mountain above his head, and looked at the Titan legion that was approaching at the end of the distant vision:

"This is just the beginning..."

——

Yes, although this war was tragic enough in the eyes of the parties involved, for the entire Moro Star and even the entire empire, it was still just an inconspicuous wave in the grand torrent of war.

And for Calvin, who presided over the war on the entire Moro Star and even the entire Zhanmoro Star Region, this seemingly tragic battle was just an episode in the early stage of the collision between the two huge legions from a global perspective.

He didn't even have time to pay attention to how many soldiers here had sacrificed, and how difficult it was to defend this position.

Because the Word Bearers, as a legion that had come from the Great Crusade, their souls were certainly corrupted, but their military power would only become stronger under the favor of the gods.

This position of less than five kilometers was only a part of the Chaos attack under the Evergreen Hill, and in other directions, the soldiers of the Empire were also facing more fierce attacks from demons and corrupted Astartes.

Calvin no longer had any reserve troops in his hands, except for a hundred Sea Wolves who were injured and resting in the rear, and even the Grey Knights participated in the counterattack against the Word Bearers.

As the Lords of Murder entered the battlefield, the only thing Calvin could rely on was the psychic Titan that had followed him for many years - the Imperial Political Commissar, and the blade in his own hand.

First update, second update in the second half of the night, or tomorrow morning.
