"Machine" Battlefield Deployment

From the eleventh planet outside the star, Gardinal returned to the Sixth Legion from the Guard, and Flamini, serving as his adjutant, stepped off the deck.

The low-gravity environment of the eleventh planet made Flamini's first step, landing in his power boots, feel somewhat unsteady.

The second and third steps involved his body and the Mark III Power Armor rapidly adapting and adjusting.

Flamini, who was working on the space station not long ago, quickly adapted to the current environment in a similar setting.

Having just been promoted to "machine," his eyes gleamed, his gaze piercing through the ruins of an ancient battlefield, tracing back through the flow of time.

Compared to the past, he saw more and more complete information when the roulette wheel spun.

Flamini's gaze traveled back 2,500 years, combining the information his father had provided to trace the birth of the eleventh planet's fissure.

That was left behind by Orks invaders from beyond the edge of the galaxy when they briefly occupied the outer world of Gardinal.

Flamini smiled slightly, feeling the weight of history and the power of the legion.

That was the only invasion Gardinal encountered after its pocket was established, but it was halted on Gardinal's eleventh planet.

Centuries later, bio-engineered Warrior were born, and since Gardinal, the surface of Gardinar has never been invaded again.

The "Shadow of Order" is an opponent of a completely different scale. At the same time, 25,200 Shadow of Order from the Sixth Legion are simultaneously attacking four planets.

This wasn't even the entire force of the Sixth Legion; there were still 3,600 men patrolling the Colonid Sector.

Flamini shifted his attention from the past back to the present, his mind spinning a wheel, his consciousness transcending the unfolding assault, fragments of the future appearing before his eyes.

Compared to his Chaos mind when he was a "monster" not long ago, his mind is much clearer after becoming a "machine".

"Go ahead!"

The chaotic rows of houses and the tops of transformer towers are covered in black stains left by industrial remnants.

A group of people dressed in gray padded bulletproof armor and wearing Eyepiece charged out, carrying assault weapons and bearing countless heavy shields.

More people poured out through cracked walls, broken arches, and partially collapsed staircases.

These staircases lead to the residential floors; they have dozens of floors horizontally and hundreds of floors vertically.

The orbital bombardment was confined to a limited area and did not cause devastating damage to the Legion's future assets.

Flamini surveyed his surroundings, each Warrior's caste becoming data, surging through the "machine's" mind.

The firepower of each team member is also incorporated into the machine's calculations, and it issues commands through the communication channel.

"Gatherman Squad, Marker Zone Two."

"Taravanis Squad, Zone 5."

"Manachia Squad, Marker Zone Six."

The Sixth Legion is stationed in the Colonid Sector, and many squads are named after various world names.

The three squads, following the adjutant's orders, deployed into battle formation.

The machine's keen perception of the near future gives it a comprehensive overview and allows it to even sense the enemy's apathy.

The adjutant, acting as the brains, mobilized his three squads to intercept the Warrior of the caste.

"Set a trap!"

Two "hunters" took Frag Grenade from their waists and planted bombs next to the Promethium fuel canisters.

Each squad in the "Shadow of Order" Chapter currently has Royal Court Friar have been granted different powers by the Primarch.

Of the three squads under Flamini's command, two have "hunters."

Flamini, with his overall command in mind, shouted at the optimal distance he had anticipated—when the enemy lines had closed to within 400 meters—"Fire!"

They raised their Bedrock-pattern Bolter and unleashed a barrage of bullets at the Warrior caste; the Adamantine Warhead pierced through bulletproof shields, instantly tearing thousands to shreds.

Boom boom boom!

The first Warrior of that caste stepped into the trap; Frag Grenade, flames engulfing the flying shrapnel that shot into the crowd.

Promethium burned fiercely among the Warrior caste; they dared not disobey the orders of the Military Advisor Vice Consul, nor even stop in their tracks.

Three "Warrior" wielded longswords, splitting the Warrior caste.

As the explosions continued, pale, gaunt faces appeared on the floor, expressions that only a two-hundredth generation of evolved castes could produce.

They are bald and pale; this is the case for most of the genetically modified Lower Caste in the Gardinal.

They wore mass-produced green jackets and trousers, their faces expressionless and their eyes vacant.

The light of the human soul barely penetrated his skin, showing no outward manifestation on his body, as if it came from the assembly line that produced the clothes on him.

Those alleles representing individualism or empathy that are secretly passed down through generations are completely suppressed by conditioning and psychotropic drugs.

The Lower Caste carried weapons such as pliers, or dismantled steel pipes and other items.

They brandished their makeshift weapons and joined the battle.

The influx of Lower Caste, whose numbers were dozens of times greater than those of the Warrior caste, further complicated the war situation.

Flamini's command extended into every Shadow of Order.

Data from both sides surged through his mind, and the thirty runes in the Divination Box were constantly adjusted under his control.

The Warrior castes, who have evolved for over a hundred generations, seized the opportunity created by the Lower Caste.

Dozens of Warrior from different castes formed assault squads and launched an attack.

The "machine" calculates at lightning speed, striving to make up for the weaknesses in the front line's defenses.

The extraordinary inspiration of the three "monsters" compensated for the shortcomings in calculation and the occurrence of unexpected events.

They identify danger and react promptly.

The Gardinal caste, numbering ten thousand times greater than three squads, launched wave after wave of attacks, pounding against the lines of the black-armored Warrior.

Flamini's maneuver concealed the vulnerable rear armor of three squads, and he called in Stormbird for a timely ammunition drop before running out of ammunition.

Just as Flamini was repelling wave after wave of enemy attacks, "Shadow of Order" gained air superiority over Head of Gardinal and sent Stormbird of Stormbirds to attack the ground.

A spear-shaped formation of Gardinal heavy fighters launched an attack on the Stormbird of "Shadow of Order".

They broke through the fighter jets' defenses and plunged into the Gunship's transport plane formation.

The suicide attack was immediately met with Lascannon fire.

The Stormbird's Gunship roared and opened fire on the Gardinal heavy fighters, shattering one heavily armored dogfighting aircraft after another, but their formation remained unchanged, and they showed no intention of dodging.

During the ongoing firefight, the Stormbird spat out their cargo, and the Shadow of Order, upon landing, immediately launched an attack on the Orbital Elevator device.

Meanwhile, hundreds of Shadow-pattern Stormbird mingled among countless Stormbird, flying toward their respective targets.

Arsena Dunn, Malena Scala, Maria Kournikova, and Tierney, among Beyonder, each led their teams down from the deck to begin their missions.
