In Colchis, the fierce battle between the Human Empire and the Iron Man continued, but the high-intensity bombing in orbit stopped early.
After all, such high-intensity orbital bombardment failed to reduce the size of the Iron Man army pouring out of the mechanical tower. This is a bad signal - although the terrifying firepower of the huge fleet assembled above the orbit of this planet is enough. The orbital bombardment will continue for another hundred years, but it is also time to know the strength of their enemies.
Therefore, starting on the third day of high-intensity bombing, the ground forces composed of the Dark Angels and Word Bearers began to try to engage in a head-on confrontation with the Iron Man army, while the armored forces and Titans continued to serve as ground fire support. They are not allowed to act arbitrarily without receiving orders from their Primarch.
As a result, the Astartes of the two legions began to charge like heavily armored knights in the Middle Ages. The thick ceramic armor almost ignored any attack. Coupled with their combat skills that had been honed in endless wars, They began to slaughter these iron men as efficiently as if they were in no man's land.
Not long after, the Mortal Auxiliary Army and the Fighter Servants of the Adeptus Mechanicus also joined the battle. Although their missions in the Great Crusade were not as important as those of the Space Marines and Titan Orders, their firepower was enough to dominate the galaxy. The vast majority of alien civilizations.
As a result, the defense line covered by the Iron Man army was being torn apart rapidly, and some Astartes scouts even went straight to the vicinity of the mechanical tower alone.
However, not long after the battle began, Ryan noticed that something was wrong.
The firepower of these iron men from ancient ruins was far beyond his imagination: not too much, but too little.
In fact, he had hardly seen any weapons of mass destruction. These massive Iron Man troops were as weak as children playing with toys in front of the iron cavalry of the Human Empire, so that he did not go to the technical priests on the Veritas. They were all worried about whether their previous orbital bombing had led to the exhaustion of the resources of these iron men to deal with the war. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the strange problem of such a large force with no combat effectiveness at all.
Even if the iron men continued to pour out of the mechanical tower, they could not make up for this disastrous fact.
——These iron men who once represented antiquity, advancement, and the age of dark science and technology in the eyes of the human empire were so vulnerable.
Of course, some people are happy and some are sad.
Although Ryan was very worried about the reasons, the Tech-Priests who were keen on research did not care about this. They efficiently recovered the remains of Iron Men on the battlefield and captured many living Iron Men. Some Tech-Priests even started research on the battlefield. Due to the characteristics of these omnics, although heretical rumors spread that these iron men did not have machine souls soon after, the temptation from unknown technology still prompted the technology priests to start intensive research.
However, because it was a war period, the two Astartes legions did not pay attention to some of the petty thefts of these oil guys. What they cared more about was the truth hidden under the surface of such weak combat effectiveness of these iron men.
Obviously, apart from this valuable iron body, the armaments of these iron men are not even comparable to some of the more powerful alien empires in the galaxy - the fact is that only a single combat team of Astartes can easily destroy them. There are hundreds of times more Iron Men than them.
This kind of horrific massacre is almost unimaginable for most space warriors - after all, they are usually sent to the most dangerous and urgent battlefields in the galaxy, especially in this war-torn world. During the expedition, the intensity of the war that these Astartes had to face required the organization of the Legion to deal with it.
The most surprising thing is that the weapons and ammunition of these iron men cannot even penetrate the armor worn by the mortal auxiliaries.
You know, just the weapons of the garbage guys in the hive can easily penetrate the cheap armor of the auxiliary army, and these iron men, who are regarded as the enemies of the human empire... have been reduced to such a miserable state that they are simply useless. It's weird to describe it, but it's a real weird event.
Even if he read through the various good news in front of him, Ryan still felt very confused.
Among the many Iron Man collections he collected in accordance with the "Icarus Accord", he has never seen such a weird and bizarre Iron Man faction.
In his and the Emperor's impressions, abhorrent intelligences are born executioners. They can use unimaginable data bombs to invade the enemy's communication network, and can use extremely high computing power to instantly calculate the course of a battle. The many terrifying weapons from the dark technological age can make even the Primarch find it extremely troublesome.
But now, the iron men they saw were not extremely dangerously armed, nor did they have extraordinary computing power or strategies. Even the lethality of their weapons was extremely primitive. It was like a civilization developing from scratch, except for the people who gave birth to them. The giant mechanical tower has an extraordinary level of technology and is larger than the Green Skins. Its threat level is even lower than that of interstellar pirates. It's simply...
As if he noticed something, Ryan frowned.
——Like a newborn...
Instantly realizing a terrible truth, Ryan immediately called up the launch panel of the Cyclone Fish.
"...Wait a minute! Ryan, what happened? Why are you authorizing the use of Cyclone Fish..."
Obviously, Ryan's sudden action naturally attracted Luojia's attention. Luojia, who had the authority second only to Ryan on the Indomitable Truth, immediately became keenly aware that the other party was controlling the use rights of the cyclone fish, and he immediately Stopped Ryan's behavior.
However, the lion's will cannot be stopped by words. Ryan ignored Luojia's words, but silently and quickly gave the launch authorization.
"Stop what you're doing! Ryan Al'Jonson!"
"Damn... I don't know what's wrong with you, but the current battle situation is good, and it's far from the point where you need to use Cyclone Fish. I don't want to repeat it again, Ryan, I won't allow you to do anything to me. The home planet uses cyclone fish, do you understand?"
Seeing Ryan's behavior of bombing his home planet if he disagreed, Luo Jia immediately rushed forward to question him.
"...They are learning."
Ryan looked coldly at Luo Jia's runic face, which was distorted by anger, and slowly spoke.
