Baron Olga, the last knight of House Dubondlin and pilot of the Knight Mech Scorpion Stinger, cursed the rune panel on his right that flashed from amber to red.
Running out of ammunition——
The melta cannon has also used up its last fuel, turning the surging tide of Orks into blood mist.
As they had been doing all day, they scaled the position and he destroyed the enemy.
He guarded the landing field all night because he had to.
The thunder glove on the knight's right arm has been activated, and the air beats for the powerful fist enveloped in the aura of blue lightning.
The damn greenskins had already entered the fortress, surrounding his feet, using simple axes and machetes to hack at the family's sacred imperial knight.
But there was no Astra Militarum to drive them away. The last Imperial force had died almost half an hour ago.
The sentries on both sides of him have also been torn to pieces by the alien torrent for a long time.
All friendly forces were almost wiped out, and he was left alone.
But there is still a steady stream of Oaks.
He lashed out with one foot, crushing a swarm of vile xenos with a terrifying crushing force.
With a backhand swing of his gauntlet he obliterated three or more who had scaled the parapet, their roar lost in the thunderous crackle of the fist's terrifying energy discharge.
Another backhand smashed the other two Orks.
As powerful as he was, Olga knew he was not invulnerable.
The armor of his Imperial Knight was shattered from damage, and the family's purple crest was riddled with cracks and craters.
The knight's pain flowed into his consciousness through the neural circuits of the driver's seat, and a dozen fresh scars and countless cuts stung his mind.
However, that was nothing compared to the proud battle rage of the Machine Soul.
He will die here, when the sun sets, but he will fulfill his family duty until his death - to purge mankind of its enemies.
Because he is the blade of freedom, the sword of the Emperor.
The Imperial Knights are the staunch and reliable protectors of humanity, and these towering mechas are driven into battle by highly skilled warriors.
The weapons equipped by the knight mecha can easily drive away large numbers of enemy troops. They stand side by side and fight among the human army.
Thousands of years before the rise of the Empire, the fleets of the Martian Mechanicus had been traveling among the stars and establishing colonial strongholds in distant worlds. Among the many colonial equipment, the Knight Mecha was widely respected as a war machine. They served as protectors. Standing between the colonists and anything that might threaten them.
Thousands of years later, the pilots of these mechas have extended their own rich culture and established a noble council sworn to protect their home world.
The first world of knights was founded when mankind spread among the stars. They survived the Age of Strife and returned to humanity during the Great Crusade.
Each Knight World is a condensed and powerful army, loyal to the Imperial Home Office or the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Because of their different allegiances, these knightly worlds took different paths.
Those loyal to the Emperor are called Imperial Knights, and they simply need men from the Adeptus Mechanicus to maintain the Knight's Mechs for them.
Others who serve the Omnissiah are called Mechanical Knights, and although they also fight for the Empire, they actually obey Mars' orders.
Some of the exiled family knights, or the last nobles of the family, are called the Free Blades.
Although these wandering mercenaries no longer have affiliated forces, they are still fighting for the empire, but they sometimes show strange characteristics or accept employment from some imperial forces.
Although they have different affiliations, the world of imperial knights and the world of mechanical knights still have something in common - these planets are ruled by one or more families.
To rule, all knights are loyal to the supreme ruler of the planet, usually called the High King or the High Lord.
In the world of knights, everyone lives in a feudal society. Serfs work to support the nobles, and the nobles protect the serfs from attacks by aliens, beasts, and heretics.
Everyone is surrounded by layers of rituals that have been passed down for thousands of years, and the reason why many nobles go to war is to escape from these rituals.
The world of knights occasionally suffers from civil wars or duels of honor, but these losses are quickly replaced by rapid Imperial support.
Another thing that the knight world has in common is that they have a kind of technological priest called a relic caretaker. These people are responsible for maintaining the knight's body.
These people have been trained by Mars and are proficient in all kinds of knight knowledge, which can ensure that the knights continue to fight.
Many accounts speak of the importance of the relic keepers in the world of martial knights and their ability to keep reactors and weapons running.
Therefore, it is very common for the knight to put the machine body into the servo repair device after the war. It is very common for the relic caretakers to swarm in. They will spend a lot of time repainting the knight's armor and repairing various damages.
A very interesting point is that according to the Knight Code, knights must not only be able to fight, but also have good looks.
While the Imperial Knights may seem weird and ancient to the average person, they still make great allies.
Knight Titans are oversized war machines that tower over the battlefield, charging into battle powered by powerful servos, kicking over tanks or grinding soldiers into slush on the ground.
The fragile parts of their limbs and joints are covered with thick and solid adamantine armor plates, and an integrated ion shield is installed inside them to respond to the noble pilot's mind control at any time.
Since the Horus Heresy, knights have been in greater demand.
From the fortresses of the Sun Sector to the fortresses of the Ghoul Sector, from the white-hot battlefields of the Cadian Sector to the territories of the Far East Sector
On the edge, there are Imperial knights fighting.
because they know
The meaning of these wars: the death of humanity if the Empire fails, and standing over the corpses of traitors and xenos if the Empire wins.
The nobles gave up everything and joined the battle for glory.
For the same reason, Olga, as a Blade of Freedom, accepted the invitation of this expeditionary force to participate in the clearing of the Green Skins of the Ferron System.
But what he didn't expect was that after experiencing so many failures, the alien seemed to have learned a little wiser.
They did not huddle on the surface of the planet and wait for destruction. Instead, they established several artificial satellite fortresses in the orbit of the main star of Forlon. Each of these fortresses was as huge as a natural satellite.
At first, the strike fleet group thought these were just ordinary satellites, but when the landing force opened up a landing site above, these satellites suddenly showed their fangs.
The huge railgun caused serious chaos and losses in the fleet. At the same time, the greenskins who had been hiding inside the satellite also swarmed out, divided, surrounded and eliminated the landing force.
Olga's location is already the first and last landing site. If this falls, the hugely expensive landing operation will completely fail.
So he's holding on, hoping for reinforcements that probably won't arrive.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the fleet was already in dire straits and would not be able to send reinforcements for a while.
"With our blood, we will create great achievements for eternity."
Olga picked up the family crest on the side, kissed it, and then planned to use a desperate attack to let these aliens know the will of mankind.
Suddenly, a communication disturbed his thinking.
He hesitated for a moment, but still opened the public communication channel - he was afraid that what came from it was a voice announcing failure. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of failure.
But what sounded inside was a new voice, no longer a weak mortal correspondent, but a deep and powerful male voice.
"Hold on, the knights of the Dupont Delin family, the Astral Knights Chapter have arrived."
