Chapter 230 Killing Titan
"Tiangong heavy structure, it seems that we have pushed these aliens into a corner, and they even pulled out this thing." Chen Xi stood in the command post of the No. 4 position, holding a telescope and watching the huge metal monster in front of him rushing towards the position, without showing any panic on his face.

That Tiangong heavy structure was like a moving steel mountain. Every step it took made the earth tremble, as if even the air became heavy under its pressure.

Its surface was covered in intricate runes and energy circuits, glowing green as if proclaiming its unrivaled power.

Synapse blockers, inter-dimensional transmitters, singularity generators—these weapons, whose names sound chilling, are now mounted on this behemoth, as if they will release destructive energy in the next second.

However, there was no trace of fear on Chen Xi's face.

On the contrary, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer.

In his opinion, the appearance of this Tiangong heavy structure just proved the enemy's weakness.

(At £253.5, this unit is the cheapest Titan currently on sale.)
"Your Majesty, please move to the rear immediately! My Glory Halo and I will buy you time to evacuate!" Sir Erich looked at the huge monster that was approaching at an extremely fast speed for a Titan unit, and resolutely decided to buy time for Chen Xi to evacuate.

In his view, this was simply a destined death of honor.

What could be more worthy of a knight's death than charging against an invincible enemy?
Sir Erich did not believe that the expeditionary force had the power to kill this terrifying Titan unit. After all, the expeditionary force did not receive assistance from the Titan Legion of the Mechanicus this time.

Without a unit of the same level that can fight against the Titan, it is almost impossible to destroy such a Titan unit with ground troops alone.

Even if the expeditionary force has super-heavy tanks that can compete with Titans in firepower, they still need someone to go in front to buy them time so that they have a chance to open fire.

So in Erich's view, this was a good opportunity for him to die bravely.

As an imperial knight, he has long regarded honor as the most important part of his life.

At this moment, standing in front of Judge Chen Xi, he felt an unprecedented sense of mission.

However, Chen Xi said calmly, "Don't rush to die, Sir Erich. Each of our lives is the Emperor's currency. Don't waste it easily."

His voice was calm and firm, as if he was stating a simple fact.

Sir Erich was stunned for a moment. He did not fully understand what Chen Xi said and felt a little confused.

Chen Xi didn't say anything else, but turned to look at the Tiangong reconstruction body.

His eyes were calm and sharp, as if he was looking at an ordinary tool, rather than a Titan-class combat unit capable of destroying an entire position.

His tone was incredibly casual. "Besides, it's just a Heavenly Reconstruction. It won't even require the sacrifice of a single Imperial Knight to destroy it."

When Sir Erich heard this, he became even more confused.

However, Chen Xi did not explain.

He raised his hand and gently pressed the switch on the communication bead. A calm voice came through the communication channel to the black ship in orbit: "A Titan-class alien combat unit appeared directly in front of my position. Do you see it?"

On the other end of the communication bead, the first mate of the black ship immediately responded with a firm and clear voice: "I saw it, Your Excellency the Inquisitor!"

Chen Xi's gaze remained fixed on the Tiangong Reconstruction, his tone unwavering: "I don't want to see it again. Do you understand?"

The first mate's voice said without hesitation, "Yes, Your Excellency the Inquisitor, you will not see it again!"

The corners of Chen Xi's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Very good, I will watch you destroy it from the position."

His tone was so relaxed that it seemed as if he were discussing an insignificant exercise rather than a life-or-death battle.

After saying that, Chen Xi cut off the communication, and in the sky, several super-heavy shells fired from macro cannons fell from outside the atmosphere.

These shells streaked across the sky like meteorites, striking the ground with destructive force. Their speed was so great that they pierced the atmosphere in the blink of an eye, slamming fiercely into the vicinity of the Tiangong Reconstruction.

The shock wave of the explosion instantly swept across the entire battlefield, and blazing flames and thick smoke rose into the sky, as if to devour everything.

The huge body of the Tiangong reconstruction shook in the explosion, its armor was torn apart, and its mechanical structure made a sharp cracking sound.

However, this is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shot out from a spear of light descended from the sky, piercing through the sky and the earth, like the sword of judgment of the gods.

The beam of light was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it. Its appearance seemed to split the sky in two, and it smashed directly into the body of the Tiangong Reconstruction Body with unparalleled energy.

The moment the light column came into contact with the Tiangong reconstruction body, a vast stream of light poured down like a flood, instantly submerging it.

The armor of the Tiangong reconstruction body quickly melted in the light flow, the internal mechanical structure was completely destroyed, and the huge body fell apart in the light, turning into countless fragments.

The aftermath of the explosion and the light of the stream intertwined to form a shocking picture.

The entire battlefield seemed to have fallen into a brief silence at this moment, with only the dazzling light and lingering smoke filling the air.

"See, killing a Titan is not as difficult as you think." Chen Xi turned to look at Sir Erich who was stunned. The expression on his face was like a painter showing off his newly completed masterpiece.

His tone was relaxed and confident, as if the earth-shaking battle just now was just a casual stroke of his.

Sir Erich opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

His eyes moved back and forth between Chen Xi and the pile of Tiangong reconstruction that had turned into scrap metal, his heart filled with shock and awe.

At this moment, a deafening shout suddenly came from the rear of the position: "For the Emperor!"

The voice came like a tide, carrying with it fanatical faith and unparalleled momentum.

Sir Erich turned his head and saw a large group of state church clergymen in plain robes leading a huge crusade army into the position.

In their hands were a variety of weapons, ranging from simple spears to finely crafted laser guns.

Although their equipment varied, the same fire burned in their eyes - the power of faith.

These crusaders did not rush directly towards the enemy as Sir Erich had expected.

On the contrary, under the leadership of the Anglican priest, they found the deputy company commander of Company C in an orderly manner. After a brief communication between the two sides, the Jihad Army quickly dispersed into the position and began to assist Company C in defense.

Their actions, while not as disciplined as those of the Astra Militarum, are filled with devotion and determination.

Soon, a leading Anglican priest came to Chen Xi under the guidance of the C Company Star Army soldiers.

The priest wore a crimson robe, with a golden emblem of the state religion hanging on his chest, and held a thick holy book in his hand.

His face was solemn, but his eyes were gleaming with excitement that was difficult to conceal.

He bowed slightly and saluted Chen Xi, then said in a respectful yet firm tone, "Your Excellency the Inquisitor, the second batch of the Ecclesiarchy's Crusade Army of three million has arrived. According to your instructions, we will be dispersed into teams of ten thousand to support the various Astra Militarum Corps that need reinforcements.

Currently, about one million troops have arrived at the front line, and the rest are gradually entering the battlefield."
