Chapter 482 "The Great Rebellion" "Escape"

“.”

Sol Tarvitz, under the helmet, stared at the front through the screen with a solemn face.

In addition, he also paid attention to the real-time battlefield data that kept rolling on the helmet screen, and the content of the data made his expression more serious.

Because since the New Argo fell into chaos, the 2nd Company he led has suffered heavy casualties, and this catastrophe is far from over.

Every time the data is refreshed, Tarvitz's heart hurts like being stabbed by a sharp blade.

The number of casualties displayed on the screen, especially the casualties of adult Astartes, shows that more than 400 adult Astartes have fallen in this chaos.

This is not just a cold number statistics, but also means that the most core and most solid combat power of the company is being deprived one by one at an unstoppable speed.

The death of each adult Astartes is like splitting his soul, and it is also a fatal weakening of the overall combat effectiveness of their 2nd Company.

Putting aside the identity of superiors and subordinates, the sacrifice of brothers makes Tarvitz feel more heartbroken and angry.

However, in addition to the heavy losses of the company, what also made Tarvitz "tormented" was the strength of the enemy.

According to the intelligence sent back by various units on the battlefield, although those fallen Chaos Astartes seemed to lack organization and discipline, they showed amazing individual combat capabilities.

In the confrontation with these fallen ones, he had to admit that the opponent's elite strength was faintly superior to their Sons of Man.

Of course, rather than thinking that the opponent's physical fitness became stronger under the influence of the power of chaos, Tarvitz would rather believe that his subordinates and brothers were defeated because of "lack of experience".

After all, judging from the existing information, Tarvitz believed that the Chaos Astartes who ravaged New Argo were at least "hundred years old" or even "thousand years old".

Therefore, they have experienced more battles than the Sons of Man have eaten.

They may have participated in many battles before betraying humans, and a long time has passed since their fall, which makes every combat skill of theirs exchanged for blood and death.

And these experiences are exactly the gaps that young warriors can hardly make up for.

Therefore, with the blessing of Chaos power and the rich combat experience, the group of Chaos Astartes is indeed difficult to deal with.

When Tarvitz learned that the champion of their 2nd Company, who was also his most valued brother, was killed, he immediately led the company guard to this main road.

At first, he was furious because of the heavy losses of his subordinates and citizens, and then wanted to lead the team in person to stop the "primarch of the great demon".

But the death of his good brother made Tarvitz regain his sanity.

Before their primarch arrived, any unit that tried to confront the "great demon" head-on was almost destined to be easily killed or completely destroyed.

That unmatched existence, whether in strength, speed, or destructive power, far exceeded the limits of what people could understand.

In theory, the only way for their 2nd Company to pose a threat to it is to launch orbital bombing.

However, there are still a large number of civilians who have not yet evacuated in the city of New Argo.

The release of electromagnetic main guns and tactical and strategic missiles will inevitably cause catastrophic civilian casualties.

Faced with such a dilemma, the option of orbital firepower can only be shelved and wait for the arrival of their Primarch.

Being able to solve the existence that ordinary people cannot understand naturally requires an equally "extraordinary" Primarch to deal with it.

Based on the current intelligence and real-time dynamics of the battlefield, Tarvitz decisively formulated a new combat plan.

He issued the latest instructions to the 2nd Company, clearly requiring all members to avoid direct contact with the "Great Demon" as much as possible and focus on curbing the expansion of other fallen people under his command.

At the same time, he also ordered all troops to speed up the cleanup of the city, open up safe passages for civilians who have not yet evacuated, and cover civilians to evacuate outside the city.

Although this decision means temporarily giving up the direct attack on the "Great Demon", Tarvitz knows that protecting civilians and preserving combat power are the top priorities at the moment.

When Tarvitz led the company guards to this main road, Lucius also rushed to his position.

"Look, look! Who's coming?"

Lucius' voice was hoarse but loud, with a chilling mocking tone.

Every step it took was like a heavy hammer, hitting the metal ground of the main road, making a clanging sound.

Behind Lucius was a group of veterans who had followed it in battle for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

These Chaos Astartes were wearing broken but hideous armor, and each piece of armor was covered with Chaos marks and corrupted runes.

What was particularly disturbing was that many of the veterans wore severely deformed Terminator armor - those protections and weapons that once represented the pinnacle of "Empire" technology were now corrupted into disgusting deformed forms.

Every time they moved, the rotten flesh on the surface of the armor and the mechanical joints would make a harsh friction sound, as well as a faintly painful "groan".

These guys followed Lucius's footsteps, their eyes did not hide their contempt and cruelty for the enemy, and their movements revealed extremely skilled killing skills.

They are both Lucius's right-hand men and the fallen symbols of the Empire's glory.

Clang-clang-clang-!!

Ri~swoosh-!!

But the response from Tarvitz and the hundred company guards was a thunderous roar of gunfire.

Under the helmet, Tarvitz turned his attention to the extremely ugly guy wearing terrifying armor, namely Lucius.

Tarvitz didn't understand why Lucius became so "excited" when he saw him, why the guy wearing corrupted armor and an obscene smile seemed to be full of pleasure in this battle.

But now, Tarvitz has only one clear goal, which is to quickly end the fierce battle that broke out in this area, break the erosion of Chaos, and try to rescue more compatriots.

He had no time to pay attention to Lucius's provocation.

The same goes for the company guards.

Bang - puff -! !

As the dull gunshots and explosions intertwined, the Emperor's Children immediately suffered a severe blow.

Several Chaos Astartes fell to the ground, their armor penetrated and melted by various bolters and plasma cannons.

Tarvitz clearly saw that the helmet of one of the Chaos Astartes was pierced by a bolter, and half of his face was blown to pieces, revealing the corrupted muscles and twisted skeleton inside.

Before Tarvitz's arrival, the Emperor's Children suffered heavy losses to their own Chaos Astartes because Lucius wanted to toy with and abuse the Company Champion.

However, ordinary heretical believers and demonic creatures are not even capable of resisting the auxiliary army, ODST and elite veterans. What's more, there are hundreds of elite company guards present, and the balance of the situation is completely broken.

Even if there are many large chaotic creatures, such as chaos eggs that look like "giants" with smooth and "pink" skin, or guys that look like spliced ​​together of human bodies and mechanical spiders, it will not help. .

Because the 2nd Company Fleet once again demonstrated their strong war potential.

With a huge and shocking roar, six Knight mechas landed at various strategic locations in New Argo one after another, providing vital support to the ground troops who were struggling.

However, compared to these terrifying war machines, what was even more shocking was the appearance of a Titan mecha covered in dark purple armor that was a hundred meters tall.

This Titan mecha is designed with a four-arm structure. From breaking through the atmosphere to descending on the battlefield, every step is like the wrath of the gods.

Following its "low roar" as it broke through the clouds, Tavitz and others witnessed the astonishing scene of it landing on the west side of the main road.

Boom—boom—! ! !

The sound of the Titan mecha landing was like an earthquake sweeping across the ground. The ground was torn apart by a huge shock wave. The streets instantly collapsed under the heavy mecha's feet. Dust and gravel were kicked up by the shock wave.

The mecha's painting was particularly eye-catching in the surrounding firelight and dust mist, and the dark purple armor seemed to swallow up the brilliance of the night sky.

Almost as soon as the landing was completed, the pilot of the Titan mecha quickly used the connection of the consciousness system to smoothly control one pair of the four arms, and raised the 4000mm caliber plasma "rifle" that can be called the hand of destruction.

The muzzle of the gun began to flash with blue light, gradually condensing into a dazzling energy core, and the surrounding air was distorted by the overload of energy, emitting a harsh buzzing sound.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Ri~——————咻——————! ! !

A huge plasma cannon shot out from the muzzle, piercing the night sky and seeming to tear the darkness in half.

The cannon trailed a dazzling flame, like a falling star, and struck the area where the Emperor's Children gathered with lightning speed.

Boom——————! ! !

The moment the plasma cannon hit the target, it produced a destructive effect like the earth was shattering.

The core area of ​​the explosion turned into a burning pit, swallowing dozens of Chaos Astartes and their aberrant subordinates and demons. The surrounding buildings were torn into powder in the shock wave, and the flames and smoke soaring into the sky formed a hellish atmosphere. scene.

The shock wave caused by the explosion even swept across the entire block. The ground became pitted under the devastation of high heat and huge force, and molten metal and glass flowed like hot liquid.

The scene before him seemed to freeze in time, and even the air became extremely heavy.

"."

The veterans among the Emperor's Children who had followed Lucius in battles for thousands or even "ten thousand years" all showed expressions of shock and fear after witnessing the devastating blows displayed by the Titan mecha.

These Chaos veterans consider themselves seasoned experts in warfare, having seen countless battlefields and are equally familiar with similar heavy war machines.

However, the Titan mecha in front of them subverted their understanding.

The huge fuselage did not make it sluggish, but instead showed incredible maneuverability and precise firepower, far surpassing the corrupted and modified war machines under their command, and it was simply unable to compete with the big guys in front of them. Comparable.

And the appearance of the Titan mecha also brought about the deeply buried past for them, the Chaos Astartes——

A nightmare they don't want to face but cannot escape is the "Great Rebellion" that reshaped the galaxy thousands of years ago.

“Taviz!!!!”

With an extremely angry roar, Lucius, who was buried in the ruins, crawled out again with an almost crazy attitude.

The armor covered with cracks shone in the firelight, and its twisted face looked even more ferocious due to rage.

Lucius's eyes were fixed on Tarvitz not far away. The commander of the Sons of Man still stood at the core of the team, calmly commanding the troops to deal with the counterattack of the Chaos forces.

It clenched its fists, as if it was ready to charge again at any time and compete with Tarvitz.

However, his steps hesitated.

The existence of the Titan mecha was like an insurmountable barrier, making Lucius feel deeply uneasy.

This uneasiness comes not from fear, but from the unknown.

Lucius was unable to sense the "breath" of any living thing inside the Titan mecha.

There was no sign of life on the part of the pilot, meaning the Titan mecha was probably a fully autonomous, unmanned war machine.

This forced Lucius to re-examine the situation at hand.

If the Titan Mecha is really an unmanned killing machine, then the Titan Mecha's actions may not be subject to any emotional restrictions and only follow cold and precise logical algorithms.

Faced with such an enemy, even Lucius had to consider whether to continue chasing Tarvitz for the so-called "game".

Its eyes wandered between Tarvitz and the Titan mecha, anger still burning in its chest.

The remaining veterans and subordinates began to talk in low voices when they saw Lucius's hesitation.

Soon, the most experienced one among them, with his helmet and head completely "glued", like a bull-headed veteran, stepped forward and persuaded with a thick nasal voice:

"Lord Lucius, if you continue to choose to fight, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to counterattack in front of that big guy. Maybe it's time to consider retreating."

Another veteran quickly echoed: "Yes, Lord Lucius, we can't fight against that Titan mecha."

"."

Lucius didn't reply.

However, Tarvitz, who was far away, also noticed Lucius and a group of Chaos veterans climbing out of the ruins.

He was very puzzled. He had never met Lucius at all, let alone had any interactions with him. Why did that ugly, dirty guy have such deep resentment against him?

But Tavitz was too lazy to pay attention to that much.

Immediately, he waved his hand and instructed the Titan mecha on the communication channel to continue suppressing fire.

The pilot, who was inside the 2nd company's flagship, controlled the Titan mecha without hesitation and pulled the trigger.

Ri~——咻——! !

The roar sounded again, and the blue-light cannon shot forward like an arrow that split the sky, and the trajectory it drew was more like a heavenly punishment of judgment.

! ! ! !

Seeing this scene, Lucius no longer had any thoughts of "playing" or "joking".

A second ago, it looked like it was preparing to confront its "old enemy". At this moment, it was like a clown, hurriedly retreating, regardless of its veteran comrades, and with more resentment and unwillingness, it headed towards Escape from the center of the city that tears apart the physical universe and connects the subspace.
