Warhammer, about my years with the Wolfpack

But the Reaver Titan is different. Its three main weapon slots are typically used to mount anti-Titan weaponry, offering firepower more than double that of a regular Warhound! Its resistance to attack is also significantly greater than that of a Warhound. Using Stormbirds to hunt such units isn't unsuccessful, but the investment and output aren't proportional. As for the larger Titans, it's best to leave them to the Mechanicus.

"We had no choice before, but now, I want to give it a try. I don't know whether the Legion will be equipped with such an excellent war machine in the future, but I want to accumulate some experience first." Saijanus said.

"Alright, my Turbo Wolf will go with you," Torgaddon said. "But we can't attempt to challenge the Warlord-class; it's too dangerous. And if there are more than three Predators, we can't attempt it either."

Chapter 151 Hunting from a Bear

"Okay. So what's your opinion, Garo?" Sejanus asked.

"Mine is a transport, so it's a bit overpowered to hunt a behemoth like this, but I'll help," Garro said after a moment's thought. "I can only guarantee efficient clearing of the minor enemies. Taking down a battle Titan is a bit difficult."

"Alright, let's go together," said Sejanus. Meanwhile, beside him, Akurduna, the Swordmaster and Master Tactician of the Third Legion, was formulating an attack plan.

Although Bader theoretically assigned one gunship to each of the three legions, the Third Legion had fewer than ten men in total. They couldn't even muster enough men to operate a gunship. So, Sejanus asked Akurduna to stay with him and help with the plan.

"When fighting in this kind of environment, the enemy's Titans are easier to hide due to the terrain and smoke obscuration. However, a spaceship as large as ours flying through the air will definitely be easily exposed. So I suggest that before entering the battlefield, we should follow this route, pass through the area we have confirmed to be safe, then suddenly climb, complete the attack on the preset target, and finally quickly escape. The previous reconnaissance and suppression tasks will be left to the fighters and Stormbird gunships." Akurduna said as he gestured on the holographic map.

Aerial targets are often more easily exposed than ground targets due to the complex terrain. Akurduna's key tactic was to fly low over areas already cleared by the Legion, using the terrain and clutter for cover. Once the friendly forces confirmed the target's location, the three Bear gunships quickly ascended, then destroyed the target with a short, fierce attack, ultimately escaping safely. Akurduna wasn't prepared to stand still with the enemy Titans; the key to their strategy was to fight and run!

As a result, the various units responsible for the investigation suffered a lot.

"A suspected war engine has been discovered in Area 28!"

"Three!" A small group of scouts, teleported in, were instantly annihilated by fierce fire from nowhere the moment they spotted their target. Not only was the three-man scout team destroyed, but all nearby buildings within a 3-meter radius were razed to the ground. A moment later, surrounded by a massive orc army, the blurry silhouettes of three iron giants emerged from the smoke and flames.

Afterwards, the reconnaissance aircraft units that received the information tried to confirm the opponent's exact location. As expected, these guys were intercepted by Orc fighters or destroyed by intensive anti-aircraft fire. However, their efforts were not in vain. The Shadow Moon Wolves Legion quickly locked the precise coordinates of the target, and a group of Storm Birds took the lead in launching an attack.

"This is the leader of the Storm Squad. The leader will first launch missiles and lasers to overload the opponent's shield, and then use the main weapon to attack the target." The Storm leader contacted his team members. Although the main weapon of the Stormbird and the Warhound Titan have similar ranges, they only have one shot. It would be a waste to use the main weapon to overload the void shield.

Because apart from this precious, powerful attack, the remaining twin lasers and standard missiles, even if the enemy's shields are down, are ineffective against the enemy's hull. Therefore, the standard tactic is to use a continuous barrage of missiles and lasers to overload the enemy's shields, then unleash a single, decisive blow with the primary weapon. However, this presents a new problem: the range of the lasers and standard missiles is less than half that of the primary weapon...

Therefore, this journey was inherently risky. One Stormbird would attract the enemy's attention in the air, while the remaining Stormbirds would penetrate from low altitude. However, facing multiple search and even psychic detection devices, low altitude was not a safe option. For example, this time, the Storm Squad had bad luck. Two Stormbirds were exposed while flying at low altitude and were shot down by various anti-aircraft fire. The remaining Stormbirds were forced to retreat.

"Two Stormbirds lost." The situation on the front line was transferred to Sejanus's data board.

"But our losses have come at a price. At least now, we are safely approaching our target." Three Bear gunships flew towards Area 28 at a low speed. By then, the gunships' passive detection equipment had locked onto the target. Now it was time to hunt.

"I'll deal with the Warhound-class Ork Titan and the surrounding armored units first, drawing enemy fire. Then, you two gunships will attack the other two Reaver-class Ork Titans," Garro said via secure communication. The transport-type Bear aircraft had enhanced carrying capacity and defensive capabilities, but even so, its remaining onboard weapons were still sufficient to deal with Warhound-class Titans.

"The shield generator has entered standby mode and can be quickly recharged at any time."

"The active interception system has been prepared and the interceptor missile has been loaded."

"The engine is running well." The mechanical priest on board the ship summarized the information to Garo. At this time, Garo was a little overwhelmed. He felt that even if he faced three orc heavy-armored bosses, he would not be as troubled as he is now, because for the enemy, as long as the sword in his hand is sharp enough, it will be enough. However, processing these data and intelligence really hit Garo's blind spot!

"The spacecraft is ready to climb to an altitude of 2500 meters, bypass the ground buildings, and prepare to attack!" Following Garo's order, the machine souls and technical sages quickly planned the route. With the roar of the engine, the huge Bear gunship began to climb. In just a few seconds, the spacecraft climbed to the designated altitude at a large angle. The huge overload made Garo feel a little uncomfortable.

"Lock the target."

"Attack planning complete."

"We've been spotted, we've been locked onto! Prepare shields and interceptors!" The engagement lasted only a dozen seconds. The gunship, rising into the air, quickly aimed its underwing main weapons and missiles from its central bay at the distant target. Then, with a tremendous burst of energy drawn from its critical plasma reactor, two dazzling beams of light and a dense barrage of missiles descended from the sky, firing towards an Ork Titan dozens of kilometers away!

A barrage of anti-Void Shield missiles easily overloaded the Iron Giant's shields. Then, like a sword of death, lasers pierced through the enemy, their powerful beams directly destroying the core reactor. At that moment, everything within a radius of several hundred meters was engulfed in violent explosions and flames. Thick smoke and flames billowed into the sky, forming a massive mushroom cloud. At this moment, the enemy also discovered Garo's location!

A barrage of missiles and ammunition of various calibers rained down upon the recently slain aerial behemoth. Under the relentless onslaught, the massive gunship used its secondary weapons to suppress these "little creatures" while turning. Simultaneously, a barrage of interceptor missiles launched from the side of the ship, blasting the incoming Ork missiles mid-air. The remaining attacks landed on the ship's void shield, causing only a slight shake.

"Titan attack!" Suddenly, a fierce attack landed on the ship's void shield, rapidly depleting it in an instant. Two Ork Titans, reacting quickly, trained their main guns on the assassin. The intense bombardment caused the Machine Spirit to scream. The shield barely held up, allowing the ship to turn. However, successfully evacuating under the onslaught of two Titans wouldn't be easy.

"I hope Sejanus can seize the opportunity." Feeling the aftermath of the attack and the swaying ship, Garro could only leave everything to his comrades. And at this moment, Sejanus did not disappoint him!

"The remaining two Titans have opened fire. They are of the Predator class. They have used up too much energy attacking Lord Garro, and now is their most vulnerable moment." On Sejanus's plane, the Mechanicus sages gave advice.

"Let's begin." So, the two Bear gunships that were originally hidden began their final sprint. When the two Orc Titans vowed to make the attackers pay the price, they themselves became prey!

Sejanus and Torgadon launched their first round of attacks. Two Bear gunships simultaneously attacked an Ork Titan, their missiles swarming like a swarm, easily overloading the opponent's void shields. Then, three triple-mounted turbolaser cannons unleashed scorching beams, reducing the opponent to a burning ruin in seconds.

"Is that it?" The attacker, Torgathon, said in surprise as he looked at the Orc Titan that was cut in half. He never thought that he could kill a Titan so easily in a ground battle.

"Next target! Take him down!" Sejanus naturally wouldn't let the second Titan go. However, after its most powerful primary weapon completed its attack, the Bear gunship's attack briefly weakened. Even so, within the next few minutes, it still managed to destroy the Reaver Titan.

"Very good, our mission is accomplished, let's evacuate quickly!" After completing the kill, the three Bear gunships quickly climbed and evacuated to the rear. However, what Sejanus could not have imagined was that his victory this time was not just killing three Titans. In the Rust Industrial Belt, Sejanus successfully annihilated a Titan squad in a short time, causing a loophole in the orcs' originally strict battle line, which gave Horton of the Omega battle group an opportunity!

--------------

"A very successful attack. I have a feeling that in the future, the Mecha-God army will welcome new members," Horton said with emotion after reviewing the uploaded data. However, for now, he still needed to finish this battle. The Omega Battle Group had already paid a heavy price, with at least eight Titans destroyed or forced to withdraw. Although the enemy suffered even greater losses, the battle had become tense. However, the Luna Wolves' attack had brought some changes to this situation.

"Seize the opportunity, let's go." Horton reorganized several battered battle groups into the Hammer Battle Group. Obviously, from the name, we can tell that Horton is ready to win the battle in one go.

Two Warbringer Titans, five Reaver Titans, and three Warhound Titans—this was all the force he could muster in a given direction. Ten Titans, under the cover of the Skitarii, strode forward, ready to find the enemy's main force and then destroy them in one fell swoop!

The battle between the Titans had ravaged the area, with tall buildings and factories reduced to rubble by the Titans' devastating firepower. Even from space, one could see the blasted white wasteland in the Rust Industrial Belt. This area extended directly to the Ork power station, becoming the battlefield for the decisive battle between the two sides.

"Pay attention to the sectors you are responsible for."

"Iron Warrior engaged, destroying one of the secondary engines."

"The Mech-God's Wrath and the Adamantine Cog worked together to destroy a two-star battle engine."

"Pay attention to shield and reactor output strength. We must maintain our form." As the Titans advanced, the two Titans met again. Relying on good coordination and the advantage of the first move, the Hammer Battle Group penetrated deeper and deeper like a spear piercing a dragon. The roar of artillery and the whistling of missiles became the main theme of the battlefield.

A dense hail of bullets and lasers ravaged the area. Whether it was the Space Marines' Spartans or the Imperial Auxiliary's Superheavy Tanks, any contact with them was instantly fatal under the Titan-level firepower. The entire battle group was straining its own strength, with the Machine Spirits and commanders carefully managing the reactor's energy output. However, the core ship, the Sword of Glory, utilized its superior firepower and excellent heat dissipation to maintain its peak performance.

"Something is coming! The last big guy!" The machine soul of the Sword of Glory transmitted the collected information to Horton. In the distance, several huge figures appeared in Horton's consciousness.

"Damn it! There's a Level 4 target. One of them has an engine equivalent to a Warlord-class Titan." Horton was in a dire situation. They were fighting with virtually no cover, unable to retreat or ambush if they encountered one. Furthermore, the enemy had multiple Titans, even outnumbering his brothers. Of the original ten Titans, three had been destroyed or withdrawn from the battle, leaving him with only two Reavers and a Warhound Titan.

"The enemy has five Titans, five two-star and above. Damn it, we can't beat them!"

"Loyal Guardian, attack target No. 3 with me! Open fire immediately." Following Horton's order, the Sword of Glory immediately adjusted its posture and aimed the war-loving volcanic cannon above its head and the main gun on its arms at the target in the distance. However, at this time, he did not activate these terrifying energy weapons.

"Open the vertical missile launch system on your left shoulder. Fire all anti-Titan ammunition, all remaining ammunition." Horton's command was transmitted through the neural link to the machine spirit. With the machine spirit's roar, the heavy blast door on the left shoulder opened. Heavy missiles, over seven meters long and over 7 meters in diameter, emerged one after another, driven by gears and pistons like the teeth of a giant beast. As the data was written, the missiles were electromagnetically ejected from the launch tube, then circled in the air and flew towards the distant target.

At least five missiles hit this huge Orc war machine. The powerful burst of firepower instantly overloaded the opponent's shield. Even the last missile hit the huge front of the Orc Titan. An entire layer of artillery was destroyed. Thick smoke and flames billowed out of the body, and the giant beast began to stagger.

"Top weapons fire, take him out!" A moment later, the twin turbolasers atop the Loyalist and the Blade of Glory's Warlike Volcano Cannon opened fire, striking the shieldless War Machine. The former ripped the left-hand heavy weapon from the wrecked mech, while the Warlord Titan-class Warlike Volcano Cannon melted half of the mech into a ball of liquid metal.

"Target destroyed!" The massive Titan fell to its side. However, this initial attack couldn't reverse the situation. The Ork Titans also locked onto the Imperial battle group. A precise crossfire from the two Ork Titans tore the Warhound Titan in the formation to shreds! The plasma reactor detonation would turn the Titan into a ball of fire.

"Loyal Guardian, attack the second target with me. Let the Rock hold the other targets." The strongest weapon on top of the Sword of Glory temporarily entered the cooling phase, while the three-pronged turbo laser in both hands and the two-handed weapon of the Loyal Guardian were still in use. At this time, the Luna Wolves' Stormbirds and a large number of fighter jets also joined the battle. After at least three Stormbirds were blown up, the Luna Wolves successfully overloaded the shield of one of the Orc Titans!

Then, accompanied by another salvo from the Sword of Glory and the Loyal Guardian, a series of dense laser beams struck the second Ork Titan. After a brilliant explosion, a huge crater appeared on the ground again.

"Target killed!" Just as Holden was straining his resolve to turn the tide, a resounding explosion echoed from the right. The Rock, under the combined fire of two Ork Titans, finally gave way. Its shields were instantly destroyed. A flare, no less powerful than a volcanic cannon, struck the Rock's left shoulder, severing its primary weapon and shoulder like a sword. Simultaneously, a barrage of missiles hammered at the Rock's hull. The violent explosion tore through the dozens of centimeters of adamantium armor, exposing the reactor and its wiring, which were then engulfed in flames and shrapnel.

"Never surrender!" The Stone didn't retreat, charging at the distant target with all its might. It counterattacked with its remaining firepower, its dying roar shaking the battlefield. All weapon restraints were released, and its plasma reactor quickly melted from overheating. Before the explosion, this glorious Titan had already distanced itself from its own formation, ensuring that its own detonation wouldn't affect its comrades, and at the same time, it poured its final energy into its weapons.

"For the Lord of Machines! For the Emperor!" The Stone's right-hand triple turbolaser unleashed a final blow, the aftermath of the Machine Spirit's fury giving it an extraordinary power. The void shield of an Ork Titan shattered. Then, the Stone disintegrated into a dazzling ball of plasma fire.

"Open the missile launcher on the right shoulder, this is an opportunity!" Horton seized the opportunity created by his comrades. When the shield of an Orc Titan was cleared, the Sword of Glory fired all its missiles. Amidst the explosions, although the iron giant in the distance was not completely destroyed, it was also severely damaged and fell into a crater.

"Two on two, we still have a chance. Turn on the high-pressure cooling!" Horton, sweating profusely, looked at the two remaining figures in the distance. One of them was clearly a size larger than his own, comparable to a general-level machine. His performance in the previous battle wasn't bad, but it was still insufficient. If the other side completed preparations for the next round of battle first, he would be a lamb to be slaughtered.

The Titan's dorsal vents were fully opened, and coolant once again poured into the scorching barrel. The Flashfrost crystal coolers, cooling the primary weapon, began to overload, their pale blue crystals emitting icy rays, rapidly lowering the temperature. The machine spirit roared, feeling uneasy and uncomfortable from the corrosion caused by the excessive heat dissipation.

"Hold on a little longer, my brother, my comrade, the most loyal servant of the God of All Machines." Horton comforted the powerful Titan. At this time, when the first-rate combat forces of both sides were unable to intervene in the battle, various auxiliary units finally played a role.

"For the Empire, for the glory of the Solace family!" A group of knight mechas, led by the Supreme King of the Solace family, quickly entered the battlefield. Before, when the Titans were bombarding each other, they had been wandering around the edge of the battlefield, clearing out the orc troops. Now, when the Titans of both sides came to a standstill after just completing a round of attacks, it was finally their time to show their skills.

They charged at the smaller of the two remaining Titans. Several Knights opened fire with their battle cannons, but these were merely conventional artillery pieces that proved no match for the Titan's void shields. However, the Ork Titan, enraged by the affront from the weak, charged at the smaller creatures, attempting to tear them apart with its secondary weapon and massive power claws.

However, all this gave the Imperial Knights an opportunity. Although the Titan's powerful weapons suppressed several knight mechas, in the end, a Domination Knight driven by the High King and several melee knights successfully circled behind the target. Although a melee knight was broken into two by the orc's huge mechanical claws, with the help of the Domination Knight's volcanic spear and shield-breaking missiles, the Titan's shield, which had been severely damaged in the previous battle, was finally broken. What followed was a drama of wolves killing tigers.

"Cooling down completed!" When the indicator light indicating that the weapon could be used again lit up, Horton felt relieved. At this time, one of the two Orc Titans was trapped in the siege of the knights, and although the other one was a general, he was now two against one!

The ensuing battle unfolded just as Horton had hoped. Although the Loyalist was severely damaged and its massive hull fell to one side, Horton ultimately succeeded in destroying the last Ork Titan standing in his way. After the Legion had incurred a heavy price, the fall of the Ork energy supply station was only a matter of time. Meanwhile, on the front lines, the decisive battle between the two sides was about to begin! The Legion, primarily composed of the Huangquan VIII and the Mars Titan, drew up their battle lines and clashed with the Ork battle group!

Chapter 152 Forbidden Power

"The Omega battle group sent a message saying they can capture the energy station at any time." Weidman reported to Bader.

"Excellent! Tell them to hold off on the offensive and allow Battlegroup Omega to seize this area when the time is right," Balder said after a moment's thought. The Rust Industrial Belt's power stations weren't just used to power the Orcish core area; a portion of their power also supported the shield system on the front lines. It was precisely because of this shield that the Orcs dared to engage the Imperial Legion in a decisive battle in the wilderness. Otherwise, if they lost their shield, they would most likely retreat, making a decisive battle difficult. Therefore, Balder needed to maintain this illusion and lure the enemy out of their hiding place.

"How does it feel to step onto the battlefield again?" Balder said to the Lord of Radiance after ending the communication.

"Not really. It's just a war built on outdated technology and tactics. It can't be compared to the peak period."

"But at least there is hope. We will eventually regain our glory."

"Hope, what a beautiful word. Though it may seem a little distant, it's worth pursuing," said the Lord of Radiance. "That's why I decided to walk the galaxy once again, to pursue hope."

"That's it, let's go!" Balder ordered, and then more than 50 Titans strode to the front line. Behind them, other Titans, including the Emperor Titan from Mars, were ready to attack as the second wave of troops.

According to Balder's plan, the primary mission of his first wave of troops was to consume and draw out the enemy, repeatedly striking the Ork Titans and drawing them into the Empire's pre-determined battlefield. Here, the second wave of troops, along with the void shields and general cannons deployed by the Mechanicus, would form a steel millstone, crushing the enemy. Afterward, the Voidwalker Titans of Lucius's world would descend from the sky, completely severing the enemy's retreat. Together with the legions that had already captured the Rust Zone, they would complete the final assault.

"Are the Rune Priests ready?" Balder contacted the Rune Priest Wardmaker through the communication link.

"Everything is ready, Your Excellency the Supreme Lord Commander." At this time, in the cabin of a Stormbird, Wardmaker and his twelve colleagues were in a huge psychic array. On the ground, there was an array carved with refined gold, and psychic crystals were inlaid at the key nodes. Wardmaker was in the center as the main array leader.

"Very well, do what you can. Just ensure your legions aren't disturbed by the orcish psychic energy," Balder said. To outsiders, the frontal battle appears to be dominated by Titans and Bear gunships, but in reality, psychic energy is also an indispensable aspect of the conflict. Even the most powerful individual is of limited effectiveness against war machines like the Titans. However, if psykers are stacked against them and supported by magic arrays, the effect will be different.

(In Warhammer 40K, the White Scars' psykers casting a spell to create fog on a Thunderhawk gunship is just a piece of cake. A large number of psykers coordinating rituals or even artifacts to cast spells to severely damage a planet is possible, such as poor Fenris...)

"Hmph, a wizard." The Radiant Lord's clone snorted coldly within Balder's consciousness. Clearly, a technologically advanced being like him had a complex attitude toward psionic powers. On one hand, there was aversion, on the other, envy. As a relic of the human civil war, he had witnessed the Eldar's top psionic forces.

"I know you're envious," Balder smiled. Then, ignoring the attack, he began commanding the already deployed Imperial forces. At the front, over fifty Titans formed three squadrons, each forming a massive wedge. In front of the Titans lay tens of thousands of Mechanicus Skitarii, including Dunewalkers, Knight Titans, Hover Tanks, and a variety of heavily armored thralls and battle robots, forming a mighty torrent of steel. Above the Mechanicus, drones, Archaeopteryx fighters, and Imperial Navy aircraft blanketed the skies like a vast blanket. They were the vanguard of the entire Legion, fearless of death.

Accompanying the Titans were the various super-heavy vehicles and Knight Titans of the Human Auxiliary Army. Hundreds of Brutal Blades, Knight Titans, and Shadow Blades surrounded the Titans, forming circular formations. Surrounding them were even more numerous tanks and mechas. No two-legged infantry were to be seen on the battlefield. Their mission was to ensure these divine machines were not disrupted by "minor enemies." That's right, minor enemies, ordinary super-heavy units, mere scum in this massive engagement...

Behind the two thick layers of military formations lay the heavy artillery of the Iron Hands and Space Wolves. This heavy artillery wasn't the Basilisks typically deployed by the Imperial Auxiliary Army; those were too small and ordinary. The two technologically advanced Space Marine Legions were equipped with super-heavy artillery modified from the chassis of heavy vehicles like the Storm Blade. If one had to draw a comparison with the Basilisks, it would be like the difference between a regular howitzer and a railway gun... Even the ammunition they used was essentially similar to the warhead of a Deathstrike missile...

Of course, although these heavy artillery pieces are powerful, they are still not enough to face the real main battle Titans. However, today, after the armies of both sides deployed, the opponent's Titans were restrained and attracted by their own Titans. The heavy artillery units could not defeat the Titans, so they used death strike missiles to clear out various miscellaneous soldiers. Wouldn't that just smash a lot of them at once?

"They are coming!" The Lord of Glory suddenly spoke.

"Very good, let's go ahead and draw off the enemy's first wave of attacks," Balder ordered. "Broadsword Squadron, follow me." Following Balder's command, ten Warlord Titans began to accelerate, charging towards the distant, somewhat blurred figure shrouded in the storm and smoke.

"We're being interfered with, damn it, this is not electronic warfare." The detection equipment of some Titans began to experience interference, and infrared detection equipment and radar were unable to avoid it. However, after the technical priests conducted electronic countermeasures, they found that this interference was not in the field familiar to the Mechanicus, but came from the mysterious psychic power.

"They've started." In Balder's vision, above the Orc Legion, in the subspace that normal people cannot look directly at, a psychic vortex formed by a terrifying group consciousness is taking shape. It is the projection of hundreds of millions of Orc souls in the subspace. They are clamoring wildly, releasing their fury and fighting spirit.

"Powerful yet chaotic, that makes it easy to deal with." Balder could sense the lack of a dominant soul. The Orks' Wow Power was powerful, their collective Warp projections blocking many evil glances, but it wasn't strong enough. Unlike the Hive Mind, they were governed by an indescribable entity and assisted by node creatures below. Therefore, this seemingly powerful will was actually a mess.

As the two sides engaged their psychic energies, the Rune Priests on the Stormbirds swiftly sprang into action, engaging each other in the Warp. The Ork offensive was fierce but disorganized. The Space Wolves, on the other hand, were sophisticated, aided by psychic crystals. While they were limited in attack, they were more than capable of defending. Soon, the psychic interference encountered by the Broadswords was eliminated.

"We've found our target. There are a lot of them, at least a dozen of them, all of them are Titans." said the Lord of Glory.

"Very good, go ahead and draw their first round of attacks!" A moment later, the Warlord Titan, the Righteous Fury, piloted by the Lord of Radiance, strode forward. He broke away from the formation and the cover of his teammates and appeared at the forefront of the position. In an instant, he became the target of everyone's attacks!

Not all Ork War Engines had a range, but even with the mutual interference, eight Warlord-class Ork Titans launched their attack. In an instant, a one-kilometer radius, centered on the Righteous Fury, was blanketed in a hail of shells, lasers, missiles, and even dimensional weaponry! Such a ferocious barrage was enough to instantly destroy a Warlord Titan!

Unavoidable jets of death energy erupted, weaving a long river of flame across the battlefield. On one end, they linked the Ork Titan detachment, and on the other, the lone Righteous Fury. Finally, just as these attacks were about to strike the Titan itself, a massive rift in space opened before the Righteous Fury, and the attack, which even the Emperor Titan would retreat from, was directed into the Warp!

Countless explosions and enormous energies were nothing more than a tiny ripple in the warp. The orcs were furious, and they attacked frantically, trying to overload the rift, but unfortunately, it was useless.

"A monster!" The Lord of Radiance watched as Balder, who had gently raised his hand to block the attack, felt a touch of trepidation in his heart. Originally, when the Figure King mentioned another being similar to the Emperor, the Lord of Radiance had taken it as a joke. After all, this ancient remnant loved to tease others, but now it seemed that it wasn't the case.

"Brothers, it's up to you." After absorbing the first round of attacks from the enemy, the Titans of the Broadsword Squad quickly moved forward, pouring fire on the opponent who had already used up a round of ammunition!

"All engines shoot down a third of the anti-Titan missiles!"

"Concentrate fire on one of every two engines! Assign targets immediately!"

"Begin volleys!" Balder's Warlord Titan was also modified. On the back of the Warlord engine, the Space Wolves and the Mechanicus installed a large vertical launch system. The Titan's legs were also reinforced to balance the added weight. This intensive burst of fire gave the improved Warlord Titan exceptional firepower!

So, a simple operation of missiles destroying shields, volcano cannons, and earth-shaking cannons directly destroying the hulls, sent the opposing Titans reeling, destroying at least four Ork Warlord-class Titans. The remaining firepower returned fire, damaging several more. And just as the enemy's thorns were removed, the heavy artillery phalanx behind them was ready.

At a Space Wolves artillery position, a group of Wolf Marines were unloading a batch of special shells from a supply cart. Each time a shell was removed from a micro-stasis station, the Rune Priest and Iron Priest nearby would jointly release the safety pin. With the release of the safety pin, a captivating force radiated outward, causing even the Wolves, with their strong spirits, resolute will, and special equipment, to feel a visceral palpitation. An ordinary mortal would probably have vomited or even fainted.

"Soul Obliterator! This is a terrifying weapon!" exclaimed a Rune Priest. This was a new item from the Space Wolves' forbidden vaults. Rune Priests had used magic circles to bind the souls of the xenos who had perished unjustly on the battlefield, then infused them with psychic crystals to create a special projectile. The fear, despair, and rage of the dying, magnified by the psychic crystals, created a devastating soul-level devastation far beyond the imagination of ordinary psychics. Apparently, the Orks of Charon were the first test subjects for this weapon. Their shared spiritual realm, while powerful, also had a weakness. When a large number of Ork spirits were slaughtered and crushed, the aftershocks would quickly spread to the rest of the Ork population!

"Let's begin! The Titans on the other side have been severely damaged, and the regular Orcs have lost their protection. It's our turn." As the Soul Obliterators were loaded with special shells, the massive cannons began to rise. Meanwhile, other artillery positions had already begun to bombard the Orcish formations with saturation fire. The violent explosions and fierce attacks tore the Orcs apart. However, for this Orcish tribe, the most lethal force was actually this group of Soul Obliterators, numbering no more than 20. Rather than destroying the Orcish army, the previous bombardment was more likely to intensify their spirits and arouse their energy, thus maximizing the power of the Soul Obliterators!

Under the cover of dense firepower, several Soul Annihilators landed silently deep within the Orc army formation hundreds of kilometers away. Accompanied by a slight explosion, a soul storm that swept across the entire depth suddenly erupted! At first, all the Orcs felt their heads suddenly become empty, and their consciousness entered a special black space.

Afterwards, countless undead spirits of all kinds roared towards the unprotected orc souls, tearing them apart and feasting on them. Finally, they devoured the broken souls in one gulp, their entire bodies growing larger and clearer. At the moment the shells exploded, the undead's existence was already measured in seconds. However, this did not prevent them from spreading death and fear to other creatures before completely dispersing!

Finally, these gluttonous souls, before completely dissipating, would explode once more, inflicting a second wave of damage to all orcs within range in the spiritual realm! In an instant, hundreds of thousands of orcs were devoured or had their brains directly burned by the damage caused by the soul explosion. However, this wasn't the end of the matter. When the mental shockwaves of the massive number of dead orcs were transmitted to their collective spiritual projections in a short period of time, the damage would be even greater! Of course, this soul-killing attack would be significantly less effective against positions and energy shields.

Chapter 153 Competition, Crushing and Ending

"They seem to have stopped?"

"A large number of orcs are retreating. No, not retreating, they are running for their lives."

"What is going on?" The soul-level massacre in the distance made the Imperial Legion on the front line feel something was wrong, but this did not affect their determination to beat the enemy when he was down. So, the Titan Legion and thousands of various tanks and mechas rushed towards the opponent like an unstoppable steel torrent, killing them easily.

"You really have no taboos." The Lord of Glory spoke again.

"In the future, our enemies will do something a hundred times more brutal than this. I'm just scratching the surface. You've lived for tens of thousands of years, haven't you? You should know that survival is not easy," Balder said. Compared to the Warp Storm caused by Lorgar's slaughter of 100 worlds, Balder's actions were truly nothing, especially since he was collecting xenos souls.

"Is there no bottom line for victory?"
