The Titan Beast's Weakness

"Calling Commander Kasgar!"

The Cataphractii Terminator made a clanging sound as it ran, accompanied by the creaking of its Adamantium boots on the rubble, echoing through the deserted ruins.

He's so stupid, really.

Cicero said that the enemy only had thermonuclear Nuclear Weapon, and he really believed that the Gardinalians were nothing special and that their weapons were barbaric and backward.

What is the reality?

It's not that the Gardinalians only had Nuclear Weapon, but rather that the Gardinalians only needed Nuclear Weapon to defeat Cicero.

"No need to call Santo, we can see this thing all the time."

A colossal four-legged machine, comparable in size to a Titan, slowly advanced through the breach in the Gardinalians's broken city wall.

It is covered with a large number of streamlined armor plates, and the mechanical body is biomimetically made into a fierce War Hounds.

In addition to its sharp forepaws, the two massive black cannons on its back are enough to inspire awe.

It's less like a Titan and more like a Daemon Engine made of pure machinery.

They share some similarities with the Titans of the Imperium of Man, perhaps because they are different branches of creations from the Dark Age of Technology, leading them down different paths.

With a casual step, it could push down the towering city wall through the breach, smashing it into plumes of smoke.

There was more than just this one.

Following behind this colossal Titan creation were two equally massive ones, along with countless surging Gardinal tanks, troops, and fighter jets, who launched a surprise attack on their newly constructed positions almost simultaneously.

"Amar! This is what you meant by only using thermonuclear Nuclear Weapon?!"

"I... I don't know! I was only there as Diplomatic Mission, not at the time—"

"That's enough, let's stop arguing for now."

Kasgar interrupted their call.

Cicero's information was incorrect.

The technological and military capabilities of the Gardinal far exceeded any Pocket Imperium they had anticipated.

Kasgar even suspected that the Gardinalians hadn't used much force when they hit him, Cicero.

The sudden appearance of these three Titan-like giant war machines has left the newly landed outpost in a bit of a predicament.

"Put away your desire for Philus's support for now."

"According to the previous battle plan, Philus is currently leading a team to seize the Space Elevator from Gardinal to the Star Rail."

"Once we can control the Space Elevator, the transmission speed of our surface troops will be increased indefinitely."

This task was crucial to the capture of Gardinal.

She couldn't possibly be free at this crucial moment.

After hearing Casca's denial, a sigh of extreme disappointment came through the communication device from Company Commander Santo.

Sigh, Momma's Boy Space Marine.

"Can the Iron Hands Company around us provide support?"

Kasgar posed a question that Santo never even dared to consider.

"It's no use, Commander. Before every battle, Lady Philus uses her infallible mind to arrange all the pre-battle preparations for us."

"Including the Iron Hands around us, those are all clans that are hostile to us in Avini. They will not provide us with any support in order to surpass our own combat progress."

"Honestly, in this situation, I don't even know if they'll gloat."

In the Iron Hands, the greatest competitors are other clans.

The greatest reward came from Primarch Philus herself.

No Iron Hands will want to hear praise from anyone other than itself.

There were no reinforcements.

They must defeat these three Titan machines using their own strength.

"Scatter first, the landing site cannot be held for the time being."

The Gardinalians' tactics were clever.

The timing of the attack was perfect—it struck the Imperium landing site before the Imperium of Man Empire had completed its deployment.

Thus, with tanks and heavy firepower capable of threatening these Titan Beast machines unable to be deployed, the Space Marine's firepower alone is almost insufficient to overload their shields.

Faced with three Gardinal creations comparable to god-like machines, they had no chance of holding the landing point.

Kasgar chose to retreat temporarily.

"Sons of the Emperor, take your Iron Hands colleagues to the motorized vehicle."

"Prepare for guerrilla warfare."

The enemy's Titans soared over the towering walls, their massive heads pointing toward the landing point where some obstacles and barriers had just been erected amidst the ruins.

As countless dazzling lights flashed, the turbo-laser cannons mounted on the Titan Beast were aimed at the Iron Hands's defenses.

Its enormous size naturally subjected it to artillery fire from the Iron Hands's position at that moment.

However, all the bullets fired by the Iron Hands position were blocked by a dark blue barrier in front of them.

Force field shield.

Perhaps it's because the technology of the Dark Age of Technology went in different directions. In short, compared to the Imperium Titans equipped with Void Shield, the Psychic Force Shield of Gardinal is weaker, but compared to the Imperium Titans equipped with massive Void Shield Generator, their Titan Beast are more agile.

The force field shield easily blocked these bullets.

In the next instant, the Titan Beast opened fire.

A barrage of laser fire instantly covered the entire landing site.

Fortunately, thanks to Kasgar's advance command, most of the Space Marine who remained at the outpost had been safely evacuated.

Only a few silent cyborgs, riddled with bullets from countless laser cannons, were reduced to mangled limbs and collapsed upon the ruins, becoming a new layer in this wasteland.

Combat Servitor.

Features from the Iron Ten Legion.

Compared to other legions, they, having already achieved full mechanization, did not deploy many Auxilia.

The reason is simple—their frail flesh and blood cannot keep up with the pace of the Iron Hands.

Only these silent Servitor are worthy of the Iron Hands forged from fine steel.

The situation is not optimistic.

After losing control of the landing site, the area under Kasgar's command was cut off from further heavy firepower support to be deployed to the surface.

As for Kasgar, after dodging the first wave of attacks from the enemy Titan Beast, he boarded the Swift Assault Speeder commonly used by the Third Legion.

On this beautiful, Purple-Gold Streamlined Bike, the Ironclad Terminator Armor that suddenly squeezed in made the originally spacious seat seem a little cramped.

Especially when Kasgar was also a big guy.

"Aqua, you lead your squad into the city and carry out the sabotage."

The plan has changed.

"You led the Sons of the Emperor's Second Company Motorcycle Unit into the city and sabotaged the city's power and broadcasting facilities."

"And our remaining combined forces of the Sons of the Emperor and the Iron Hands will join me in close combat to slay the enemy's giant machines."

"Good."

The other party's answer was extremely concise.

With the loud whooshing sound of wind rushing past his ears, Kasgar maneuvered his motorcycle swiftly across the battlefield amidst the flying bullets.

And Gardinal's army was no ordinary force either.

A Bolter from an enemy tank exploded behind their vehicle, and the huge shockwave nearly caused the motorcycle to lose control and overturn.

"That was close."

After taking that hit, Santo, sitting in the co-pilot's seat, seized the opportunity and fired his Autocannon in the direction from which the Bolter had come.

Boom!

In an instant, an Explosive Flame Blossom erupted from the densely packed enemy troop concentration.

With mobility and firepower combined, the Sons of the Emperor and the Iron Hands work together seamlessly.

It was as if a super turret had been installed on a motorcycle; the guerrilla artillery fire from the Sons of the Emperor exploded toward Gardinal's position from all directions.

Perhaps they thwarted the Iron Hands's plan to build fortifications.

However, the Sons of the Emperor' Guerilla Warfare, once dispersed, also caused considerable trouble for the Gardinalians.

"Fighting to the death with the enemy's Titan Beast will only result in greater casualties, and that's when we need to activate our backup plan."

Seeing that the results were good, Kasgar said with a smile.

This was said by Kasgar to Company Commander Santo beside him.

The battlefield is unpredictable, and even with Philus's calculation abilities, it's impossible to be fully prepared for everything.

(Otherwise, the Senior Sister wouldn't be so confused.)

"When unexpected events occur, we should try to adjust the current strategy instead of rigidly executing all of Philus's demands."

"But... if we don't meet the Primarch's requirements, how can we expect her to be satisfied with our performance?"

Sigh, I can't continue talking to you.

A typical example of Momma's Boy's Iron Hands mentality.

"Then we can go back and see after it's over, and see if Philus will praise our temporary tactical adjustments."

Kasgar violently lifted the motorcycle upwards, using its built-in Anti-Gravity System to climb up the crumbling walls of the Satellite City.

"How are the vital signs reading?"

"Besides the Titans, there are a few dozen other life forms remaining."

The Guerilla Warfare have been effective.

With their losses minimal, the Gardinal Titan Guard forces were being picked off one by one by the Motorcycle Unit, and it was time for them to engage the Titans in close combat.

"Alright! Notify your men to prepare for a full-scale attack on the Titan Beast."

Under Kasgar's command, the remaining dozens of Sons of the Emperor Motorcycle Unit quickly assembled. Instead of maneuvering around the Titan, they charged towards the Titan Beast at the forefront.

As he charged toward his opponent, Kasgar also drew his Ignition pistol and fired a beam at the opponent's Force Field Generator.

Despite being blocked by the shield, every little bit helps.

What if it overloads just one more shot?

It's getting closer.

After dodging the Titan's raging barrage, Kasgar gradually approached the behemoth.

Titans are indeed unmatched as long-range firepower units; even Primarch must avoid their attacks.

However, as a very large and inflexible turret, it is naturally extremely vulnerable at close range.

Zzzzz!

Sensing the approach of the enemy Motorcycle Unit, the Titan Beast suddenly raised its front claws, and its huge, sharp blades, gleaming with metallic luster, slashed at the motorcycle carrying Kasgar at high speed!

Not good!

Seeing that things were not going well, Kasgar quickly turned the car around and barely managed to glide past the sharp steel claws.

The other Emperor's Children motorcycle, unable to dodge in time, was not so lucky.

It was unfortunately cut into several pieces by that claw, and crashed into the ruined city wall due to inertia, turning into a pile of debris after the explosion.

Damn it!

"Why are their Titans so agile?! And able to launch melee attacks so quickly?!"

"I really want to study its structure if I have the chance in the future."

From beside the still-shaken Kasgar, came Santo's longing breaths.

Excellent machinery, love comes from Iron Hands.

"This is not the time to talk about this!"

"They've locked onto us! Motorcycles are fast, but they're still too big at close range!"

"So what should we do?"

"Get off!"

Kasgar's face darkened, and he slammed his foot on the accelerator of the motorcycle, charging towards the right hind leg of the Titan Beast.

As he drew near, the Power Phoenix Spear in his hand pierced the surface of the armor.

"Santo!"

"Grab my hand!"

Using this as a base, he pushed off with both feet, grabbed the handle of the spear with one hand, and grabbed Santo's outstretched arm with the other, pulling him off the motorcycle.

Then, Kasgar swung it around forcefully.

With a flick of the wrist.

Holy crap, I can't even shake it!

Terminator, it's so heavy!

Kasgar casually tossed him aside with the momentum and released his arm.

It's okay. The Terminator Armor is invulnerable anyway, so falling to the ground like this won't hurt.

However, watching his beloved motorcycle crash into the Titan Beast and explode, never to return, Kasgar's heart still bled.

Clang, clang!

Just as he abandoned the motorcycle and slung it over the Titan's hind leg, some bullets struck Kasgar's armor, producing a few crisp bounces.

It was the Gardinalians; they opened fire on Kasgar.

Fortunately, he is still hanging on the Titan, and the Gardinalians are still somewhat hesitant to use more powerful weapons to shoot at him.

The Extension Pole pulled him very far in that instant.

The Phoenix spear, with its high strength and resilience, was bent into an arc shape at this moment, and Kasgar's feet even touched the ground.

Then, relying on the arc-shaped lever in his hand, he pushed off forcefully!

Pole vault!

In the instant he leaped into the air, Kasgar pulled out the spearhead that was embedded in the enemy's armor and retrieved the Power spear from his hand.

Without Jump Pack, it still achieved the effect of Jump Pack.

Flying higher than the Titan, Kasgar aimed at the Titan's shield Force Field Generator.

Zzzzz!

A streak of eerie blue lightning flashed from the tip of the Phoenix spear.

Disintegration Field activated!

This is it!

After gracefully spinning half a circle in the air, he violently extended and retracted the spear tip, plunging it down towards the Shield Generator!

Bang!

With a not-so-loud explosion, one of the several Shield Generator installed on the Titan was destroyed by Kasgar.

The Titan's blue shield barrier, amidst its intense flashes of light, suddenly became quite ethereal.

There's a chance!

Seeing that the results were good, Kasgar was overjoyed.

Flying through the air, he once again grasped the end of the spear and pulled it into an arc shape.

Then--

Jump!
