Chapter 323: All resistance collapsed from then on
This was the second time Therese saw the angels of the Phoenix, holding guns and wearing sharp blades, forming an array and marching toward them.
But the shock I received was no different from the first time.
The phoenixes in heavy armor really looked like red giants.The tall and majestic figure of each of them conveys their iron will to the people around them.And their uniform movements combined the majestic postures of individual warriors together, revealing a more surging and killing intent.
Therese even held her breath involuntarily when she saw it, until she was almost out of breath, and then she suddenly took a big breath.
This sense of oppression is really too shocking.
"Focus more." I remembered a gentle voice next to me.
Therese turned around and saw another red-armored warrior.
Although he did not take off his helmet, Therese could still feel that Henrik Larsen, the psyker among the Space Marines, was smiling at her.
She nodded slightly: "Sorry."
"No need to apologize, just wait for news of our victory."
While the two were talking, the last sound of footsteps came, and all the Space Marines stood still.
Martins walked at the front and said to her: "We are fully prepared."
"Okay." Therese nodded slightly, and spiritual power began to surge from her body.
Then, so did all the other psykers, including Henrik Larsen.
Huge spiritual energy gathered on Therese's body, and was then channeled through her into the spiritual energy formation in front of her.
Every blue thread on the formation began to light up.After a while, above the magic circle, the space began to shake violently.
"You can enter!"
Henrik Larsen sent out the message, Chapter Captain Martins was the first to step into the formation, and all the other warriors quickly followed.
The same was true for Larson. He stood beside Martins, and the surging psychic power connected every battle brother to each other.
A moment later, all the Space Marines disappeared in an instant, leaving only more than 20 psykers who seemed to have been evacuated, paralyzed on the ground, gasping for air.
According to what they learned at the Mage Academy, this is a state of spiritual overdraft, which is of course not good for the body and mind. However, as long as it does not happen too frequently, only occasionally, and if you can get enough rest to recover afterwards, it will not be a problem. What problems and hidden dangers will remain?
Theresa is in relatively good condition among everyone.Although she was the host of this teleportation, she also had the highest psychic intensity among all the people. In the 'Grade Examination' of the Psychic Order, her psychic intensity got a C grade. Evaluation, this is on the same level as Wang Yuyang, the current president of the Tianma Star District Psychic Religious Society.
She was pale, panting slightly, but looking away from the fortress palace.
She was too far away and couldn't see clearly, but she knew that the Space Marines had arrived in the outer city area that was used as a military camp and position.
If nothing else happens, they will face the enemy's most powerful weapon - the Knight Titan.
Therese was not too worried. She felt that there was no way the Space Marines could lose.
...
The moment the teleportation is completed, the Space Marines indeed need to face the enemy's most powerful weapon, the Knight Titan. This is absolutely correct, and this is what is actually happening.
But this kind of direct confrontation must be something the Knight Titan doesn't want to see.
It was too sudden, and too unpredictable.
Knight Titans need pilots, and in the social environment of Black Arrow Star, Knight Titans are all great nobles, and they do not stay in uncomfortable closed cockpits all the time.When they don't need to fight, they will of course rest in the outside world.
For example, it is now.
Of course, as the most powerful weapon and an extremely expensive war asset, the Stefanos are very protective of their Knight Titans.There are a large number of soldiers stationed around, and there are more than ten mecha sentries standing guard.Where the Knight Titan is normally placed, it is also placed in a permanent semi-underground fortification, which can not only prevent sudden artillery and air strikes, but also strictly prevent latent intrusion.
However, what the Stefanos never expected was that right under their noses, in the air where there was nothing a moment ago, forty red-armored giants suddenly appeared!
Stunned, the guards even forgot to shoot.
Of course, even if they opened fire, it would be meaningless.
After the Space Marines landed, the division of labor was very clear. In groups of ten, they began to charge towards the only Knight Titan currently in the Stefano Kingdom Army.
The other 20 people began to clear out the surrounding enemies in an orderly manner. The first targets were the sentry mechas. Only the machine guns equipped on these sentinel mechas could attack the power at the current engagement distance. A causes damage.
But it's really not difficult.
There were only ten Sentinel mechas, and they were attacked in a surprise attack. The other miscellaneous soldiers could hardly help. In this case, what else can be said about the result?
Before any of them could react, in an instant, more than twenty rounds of armor-piercing explosive bombs were sprayed on each one.
completely annihilated.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of melta bombs exploding came from the two fortifications where the Knight Titans were stored.
There is no doubt that the Knight Titan, which had no pilot and no energy shield activated, was completely destroyed after four or five melta bombs were installed on top and bottom and detonated together. There was absolutely no possibility that it could still be repaired. .
The mission of the Phoenix Chapter has been successfully accomplished.
The whole process takes less than 6 minutes in total.
Martins' expression didn't contain any pride or anything similar.
Basic operation only.
Is it difficult to teleport directly to the enemy's face and kill them all with a sword?
Not at all.
It's a bit difficult to say, how to get back safely and unscathed.
After all, they are now in enemy territory.
Surrounded by hundreds of thousands of royal troops.
Don't call them Space Marines, they are truly invincible wearing power armor.
Not so.
According to Martins' past experience, if they make mistakes or are careless in their next actions, they may still pay the price.
Heavy artillery, excessive gunfire, bombs... these things may threaten them.
But the good news is that the enemy's arrangement here has been completely defeated.Under the surprise attack, huge losses occurred suddenly, even the Knight Titan was destroyed, and those ordinary warriors had no intention of fighting in the chaos.
They withdrew with almost no hindrance and followed the previously planned road toward the defense line of the palace fortress.
After walking more than 20 kilometers through the outer city, they successfully escaped.
They had made full plans before this, and the roads they chose along the way were all from a narrow direction that was not conducive to the deployment of heavy firepower.
And their enemies obviously lacked defense against enemies coming from behind. They lacked preparations for setting up jams and lacked the will to fight. They were easily defeated by a single poke.
The Space Marines seemed to be strolling around in the outer city, with little effective obstruction.
And, they have an added bonus.
During the retreat, a small team discovered an unusual arrangement of troops around a building, and it seemed that there was a big shot among them.
That building was on the troops' evacuation route.
Anyway, it was on their way, so they tried to attack the place.
The attack was of course successful, and the result was that they discovered the enemy's general command post inside.An old general took the lead, and together with many generals of the Stefano Kingdom Army, they were blocked inside.
Multiple sentinel mechas and tight guards were beside them, covering them as they boarded several military vehicles and tried to leave.
However, the bolt guns blew up all those military vehicles.
The enemy army suddenly became panicked, but the Space Marines left without fighting.
...
The Space Marines do not act alone.
Two hours before they carried out the teleportation, the alliance army occupying the central palace, under the instruction of Martins, began to attack the outside with multiple, comprehensive and strong firepower.
It's not about capturing any important targets, the most important thing is to attract the enemy's attention and create opportunities for the Space Marines.
At the same time, there is also an entire special operations battalion, directly following the evacuation route of the Space Marines, attacking forward, with the goal of responding to the Phoenixes.
Although without these preparations, the Phoenixes would definitely be able to successfully evacuate, but when making plans, they must still be prepared for eventualities.
For the Space Marines who successfully evacuated, the results of this raid were extremely brilliant.
The 20 Stefano troops stationed in the outer city were instantly paralyzed and even out of control.
The main war weapon was gone, and the commanding brain, which had finally shown some signs of recovery, was removed. Many soldiers witnessed the Emperor's angels with their own eyes, killing through the entire city with an invincible attitude. Everyone was in front of them. Like insects and ants, they are easily killed.This made them lose their belief in victory.
The top-down organization collapsed, and the morale of ordinary soldiers collapsed. The chain reaction caused by all this made the middle- and lower-level officers unable to control their subordinates at all - a considerable part of them did not want to control them. They themselves collapsed.
The army seems to be there, but it seems not to be there anymore.
A large number of deserters began to appear among the soldiers, and those who did not escape were panicked and at a loss.In fact, many vicious incidents occurred in the city, and soldiers began to rob residents, murder and set fires.
But it all came to an end the next day.
The main army of the alliance is here.
The 13th Armored Brigade and the 60th Armored Brigade, which are affiliated with the Alliance Army Group Center, arrived in coordination.
Although there were only about 2 people, when two hundred self-propelled truck cannons blasted the main city gate of Stefano to pieces, thousands of armored vehicles and more than 100 Lion tanks drove in mightily. When inside the city; when in the central palace area, those special operations elites, soldiers of the 31st Airborne Division, began to fight out of the palace, and cooperated with the armored forces outside to attack those Stefano soldiers from both sides... …
All resistance has since collapsed.
The Alliance army gained control of the entire city without any dispute.
The brigade political commissars of the two armored brigades, after a brief discussion, made a series of aftermath policies.
The entire city area was initially under military control, but multiple collection points for daily necessities were opened to ensure basic humanitarian relief. This even temporarily mobilized some surrender officials in King Stefano to assist in this matter.
Almost 20 people became prisoners of war.The alliance quickly screened them, and most of them were fine. A small number of those who committed crimes before the alliance took control of the city were singled out, publicly tried, and executed on the spot.
Be strict in everything.
These strategies were quick and effective, and this feudal city with a population of 200 million calmed down.
...
"I want to see Governor Gu." Ispsy said.
Standing opposite him was Martins.
The chapter leader didn't say much, just nodded slightly.
So, 'Queen of the Iron Curtain' Ispsy got on the Wind Falcon fighter jet headed for Pinser City.
On the plane, Ispsy, who was no longer young, seemed to have regained the feeling she had when she was 17 years old and had just ascended the throne.
Nervous, frightened, overwhelmed...these things are the biggest, even bigger than that time.
In contrast, the attitude she had in her heart that was firm, persistent, forbearing, and decisive when necessary was now extremely weak.
She didn't think she had become weak, but the two situations were completely inconsistent.
If we say that back then, it was a battle for her throne, but now, it is a battle for the subjugation of the country.
And it is a battle for national subjugation that has already been lost.
During the period of being captured, she was not supervised too much. Therefore, in the little freedom she had, she saw with her own eyes how her heroic knights and soldiers continued to fight without success. It meant a tragic death; she also saw with her own eyes how the 20-strong army outside the city, which she had placed great hope in, and which in her previous fantasy could at least withstand the alliance army for more than a month with its solid royal city, was defeated by just two or three people. Completely collapsed within a day.
Although the Kingdom of Stefano still has millions of troops in its remaining territory, what's the point?
She has fully realized that they have actually lost this war that determines the fate of the kingdom.
Stefano is dead.
But she is Stefano's king, and she has to make one last effort for the survival of Stefano's kingdom.
