The Bizarre Adventures of the Oil Man, but Starting with Warhammer 32K

"Concentrate your fire."

He ordered Victor: "I want to witness the death of this sage with my own eyes!"

This order also suited Victor's wishes. Under his command, groups of corrupted cathars and a few bloodletters rushed in from both sides, intending to encircle Leon's troops.

The Skitarii and demons using ranged weapons weren't as afraid of fire as the out-of-control servitors, and the Hellfire Chariots that had previously burned through the battle lines were no longer effective. Fortunately, the Tiantu-class Titans had already taken their place.

Leon hadn't equipped these Titans with specialized weapons, but the Avenger Bolters and Lightning Guns he'd brought in were enough. Armed with these weapons, the Titans fought back against the corrupted Skitarii who were targeting them.

"Please follow the instructions, Pilot."

Without Cooper doing anything himself, BT had already identified and locked onto the high-threat units among the enemy.

This intelligent "machine spirit" distributes real-time data of the surrounding battlefield to each of Cooper's Titans and guides the Titans to target different targets.

"Target locked, shoot."

The Bolter Cannon is a fire suppression weapon that doesn't prioritize accuracy, and since each Titan can only wield one, it's inevitable that people might worry about its firepower. However, the adjustments to its trajectory in BT are enough to reverse everyone's preconceived notions about it.

The bombs that poured down like raindrops accurately tore apart the corrupted Skitarii armed with anti-armor weapons. Any unit that could pose a threat to them was instantly wiped out.

"Shooting accuracy 98.7%."

BT calmly pronounced the enemy's death sentence, "Pilot, what's our next step?"

Even after becoming familiar with the Titan, Cooper was still shocked by its efficiency.

This feeling of being surrounded yet feeling as relaxed as if he were shooting a target made him feel a little uncomfortable. But he still remembered Leon's request: "Suppress the enemy. We must ensure the passage of the main force."

"Understood. Execute protocol two and stick to the mission."

The Tiantu-class Titan's bolter cannons continued to fire, suppressing the incoming enemies outside the gap. Occasionally, a bloodletter would rely on its resistance to long-range firepower to break through the inner circle, but was ruthlessly chopped into pieces by the Iron Hands guarding the Titan.

The unexpected opponent made Vashtor curious amidst his anger: "Where did he get these knights from?"

The Astartes holding strange weapons disappeared, but Leon took out a lot of things that he had never seen before.

The style of the Tiantu-class Titan was completely different from that of other knights. Vashtor suspected that this was something made by the STC that had been passed down long before the technological age.

If that's the case, then this is exactly what he needs, a technology that can improve his own essence...

Vashtor's mind raced, and he became greedy for the Tiantu-class Titan in Leon's hand.

But all his elite troops have been deployed. Even though the firepower of these Titans is weaker than that of traditional knight mechas, he cannot mobilize another team to stop Leon from entering the suburbs.

"The breach has been secured, troops may enter."

Cooper reported to Leon.

"Well done, Cooper."

There was a hint of approval in Li Ang's voice.

Cooper didn't answer. He felt like BT had already done everything he had to do.

The subsequent transport vehicles carrying the Undead Army quickly entered the outskirts of the city along the breakthrough point. Vashtor didn't know what Leon was going to do, but he knew what he was going to do.

"Tell the Trix family to crush this daring sage and his army. I will capture their knights and imprison their machine spirits!"

Curiosity overcame Vashtor's inner anger: "I want to see what this sage has in his hands!"

-

The main force continued to advance along the charred path created by the Hellion Chariot. However, the Hellion Chariot soon stopped, and Neos, who was driving the Hellion Chariot, gave Leon feedback.

"We've encountered an enemy we can't handle."

Leon looked at the information presented by Neos and immediately understood.

It's those corrupted knight families.

Three hundred Chaos Knights were wreaking havoc on the outskirts of the city, and the Skitarii had destroyed only a few.

These heavily armored units are obviously no match for the Hellion Chariots, but the number of Tiantu-class Titans that can compete with them is limited.

"We will first gather the remaining Skitarii troops on the outskirts of the city."

Despite receiving Vashtor's orders, these corrupt nobles who are immersed in killing will not prioritize their execution.

They continued their revelry with the thought that since they were going to kill all the Crusaders anyway, they would meet the enemy sooner or later. This thought allowed Leon to bypass these knights and meet the Crusaders first.

He didn't expect that the one commanding the Crusaders here was actually an old acquaintance of his.

"Urquidex?"

The dusty Mechanical Priest raised his head and saw Leon, with an expression of unconcealable astonishment on his face.

"How will you be here?"

"It's a long story. What are you doing?"

"Can't you see it yet?"

Urquidex pointed to the Skitarii he had gathered and said with bitter irony, "Organize them to die with me."

"I can see that you haven't been having a smooth time."

"Don't mention it. I haven't had a single peaceful day since the demons began wreaking havoc. I just don't understand. The situation was clearly heading towards Mars confronting you, so how did it suddenly turn into a Chaos invasion?"

"You could think of it another way, like Mars's experiments with the teleportation device are what attracted these demons."

Urquidex's expression became complicated, and Leon patted his shoulder comfortingly.

"Don't worry, because I'm here."

"Come and help this troublemaker Mars fight against Chaos and defend the Hive?"

"We don't have to be so short-sighted. We can give both of them a big surprise."

Chapter 188: The performance of the knight is determined by the pilot!

The presence of Urquidex saved Leon a lot of effort. The priest, who was originally more inclined towards the Empire, handed over the command of the Crusader Army to Leon without hesitation.

Leon originally thought that he would have to use more brutal means to seize control of the Crusaders, but now it seems that there is no need for that.

Under the guidance of Urquidex and Thorn, the Fists of the Exemplar and the Undead Army quickly deployed from the vehicles.

The life support system in the hive, which had barely resumed functioning, gave them the space to fight even without the protection of their vehicles. With enough heavy weapons, they took over the defense of the Skitarii.

Leon planned to use them to block the main roads leading into the hive city and keep the Chaos Knights out.

But they alone cannot deal with the Knight Mecha, only the Knight can deal with the Knight.

The protagonists of the battle will be the Pilots adapted from the Iron Hands.

The crumbling remains of the buildings provided perfect shelter for the Titans. Having shut down most of their systems, Cooper and his Titan quietly hid within the ruins, awaiting the enemy's arrival.

BT provides excellent battlefield analysis capabilities. Even if the Titan is in silent mode, it can judge the movements of Chaos Knights from the interactive information of other Skitarii on the battlefield and present the results to Cooper.

The situation is fifty versus three hundred.

Even though most of these 300 units were squire-level knights, Cooper knew he had to fight with caution.

Any mistake may put you in an abyss from which there is no recovery.

Fortunately, his enemies were mad enough. Those pitiful knights, corrupted by Chaos, were no longer steeds of steel, but prisoners of it.

They sat in the knight's cockpit, but were manipulated by the corrupted bloodthirsty machine spirit to carry out meaningless killings on the battlefield.

They were so busy lifting the corpse high and chopping off its head that they didn't notice the Tiantu-class Titan that blended into the surrounding ruins. They walked in front of Cooper without any preparation.

"The target is within range."

BT reminded.

It judged that now was the best time to launch an attack, but Cooper did not act immediately.

"I'm a Pilot."

He whispered this reminder to himself, his fingers resting lightly on the joystick, waiting for what he thought was the best opportunity.

It was not until the knight opposite showed his back that Cooper controlled the Titan and raised the bolter in his hand.

"It's now!"

Unlike the complex activation ritual required to awaken a machine spirit, a Tiantu-class Titan completed a self-startup from zero to full system activation in mere seconds. Cooper pulled the trigger, and a barrage of explosives bombarded the power system on the knight's back, tearing several cracks in the knight's outer armor.

But the firepower of the bolter cannon was still too weak for the knights. Only a few bolter shells were embedded in the power system, causing minor malfunctions.

The knight under the protection of Chaos almost ignored the damage. He quickly turned around and let out an angry roar from the sound array system.

"Which fool dares to disturb me?!"

Otom is the driver of the Berserker Knight.

Its Ranger Knight had long been driven mad by years of Chaos corruption. Now, the entire Knight, along with Ortom, had been transformed into a bloodthirsty beast.

They no longer uphold the nobility and elegance of knights, but instead bathe in the glory of killing with reaper chain swords and lightning gloves.

Only in this way can he get closer to Khorne!

For those who dare to humiliate his glory, the only thing he would do is to chop off their heads and offer them to the supreme Blood God!

He began to sprint, heading straight for the Tiantu-class Titan that was attacking him from behind.

Cooper, with his quick reflexes, nimbly dodged the blow. The Titan's vector nozzles belched blue flames forward, quickly putting distance between him and the knight. Regaining his firing range, Cooper fired again, but his shot was completely swallowed by a pale blue light curtain that enveloped the knight.

"The Lost Radiant Shield..."

As a former Iron Hand, Cooper certainly knew what this was. Realizing that long-range attacks would be ineffective, he could only adjust his strategy.

He drew the giant chainsaw sword from the Titan's waist and chose close combat.

This choice excited Ortom, and he roared, wanting to have a head-on confrontation with his opponent. Unexpectedly, Cooper did not accept the challenge when he faced him head-on.

Cooper's chainsaw sword is only used for blocking, and the rest of the time he relies on the vector thrusters on the Titan to adjust his position, using short bursts of sprint to complete incredible moves in close combat.

Ortom's anger began to rise. Although the opponent had not caused him any harm, the frustration of not being able to catch the opponent touched his heartstrings and made him even more furious.

"Face me, coward! Let's have a fair fight!"

Otom only needs one strike, and that strike is enough to destroy the opponent's seemingly flexible but actually fragile joints, turning him into a dog with a broken spine.

But he just couldn't touch a single hair of the other person!

The maneuverability of the opponent's machine and the driver's reaction speed were beyond his imagination. He really wanted to see who was controlling such a knight.

He thought he would see it when he cut off the other person's head.

Otom took a step back, voluntarily making room. Cooper was confused, but BT promptly updated him on the battlefield situation.

"Distance 100 meters, target confirmed: Squire-level knight, quantity 2."

The squire knights who assisted Ortom finally arrived at the battlefield. They surrounded Ortom from both sides, trying to help him restrict the actions of the Tiantu-class Titans.

Although the squire-class knights are small, the thermal spears they carry are enough to threaten the vital parts of the Titan when fired at close range.

The situation fell into a situation where Cooper was outnumbered, as he had originally worried, and Cooper understood that he had to deal with these two threats first.

The vector thruster nozzle // burst out with a strong light, and Cooper instantly increased his speed to the extreme and rushed towards a squire-level knight.

His chainsaw sword struck down before the opponent could react, and the squire, unable to dodge, was cut in half.

Another Squire-class, barely reacting, raised its gun and fired, but the Titan's flexibility allowed Cooper to lift the remaining half of the Squire-class and use it as a shield.

He blocked the blow and threw the half knight out, smashing it at the firing squire. The explosive bomb that followed, along with the wreckage, crushed the enemy, and the shot that penetrated the cockpit blew the knight inside into a bloody mist.

The battle against the two attendant-class machines was a complete success, but this was exactly what Ortom wanted, as he didn't care about his subordinates' lives at all.

Although surprised by the Titan's speed, he still took the opportunity to catch Cooper while Cooper had to deal with the Acolytes first.

"Got you, you damn flea!"

The huge chain blade aimed at the cockpit drew a deadly arc, and Cooper, whose vector thrusters had to cool down, could only stretch out his hands to block it.

The chain blade that was tearing into the Titan's body could not completely remove Cooper's head for a while, but Ortom knew that it was only a matter of time.

He used his weight advantage to push the chain blade down, and the blade indeed moved one step closer to the cockpit.

The opponent's flexibility was gained through firepower and weight, but Ortom, a veteran knight, was dismissive of this.

In the end, the outcome of the knights' battle is still determined by their heavy armor and powerful firepower!

A shrill alarm rang out from the cockpit of the Tiantu-class Titan. The reddened operating interface reminded Cooper that its hydraulic arm was bearing a weight far beyond its maximum capacity.

His mind raced for a countermeasure, but BT ejected a data knife from the console.
