Perfect Weapon

What is the most perfect weapon?

A long, long time ago, before Kasgar was blown into Kasgar by Mud Truck.

In his home, he opened a game he often played where he would form a team to hunt giant beasts.

With his long spear, he soared and tumbled above the monster's head, each landing striking the enemy's vitals, each hovering moment a spectacular display of skill.

He gained many fans through his highly entertaining, dance-like battles.

[Wow, it's Insect Glaive Master! We're saved!]

[My God, is this the most perfect weapon in the world—the Insect Glaive?]

[Please, brother, teach us how to use the Insect Glaive! I swear I'll never touch that trash, the Katana, again!]

He felt like he was being adored by thousands!

"Hey-hey."

Then he woke up.

It was just a dream.

Back to reality.

A kitten, helplessly dragging a wooden cart on its back, slowly walks into the screen.

[Where's the damage?! It's just flying around in the air, isn't it?]

[Uh oh, Insect Glaive Master is really something.]

[It landed in the cat cart after only a few bounces, sigh, it got messed up playing with the Insect Glaive.]

Snort!

But no matter what they say, the Insect Glaive is the most perfect weapon!

Perfect!

The threads of fate began to be plucked long, long ago.

Kasgar was still flying through the air, propelled by the Phoenix spear in his hand.

It seemed that this way of flying in mid-air and stabbing monsters with a spear reminded him of some past experience.

He smiled nostalgically.

With each bounce and leap from the relay point, Kasgar a manner incomprehensible to ordinary people, soaring up and down the Titan Beast of the Gardinalians.

"What kind of tactic is this?"

Santo, who had fallen to the ground, struggled to his feet and looked up at the tiny humans beneath the overwhelming shadow overhead.

Despite the huge difference in size, the Titan seemed unable to cause any harm to the little "flea" on its body.

Of course, the Phoenix Power Spear in his hand was indeed a large part of the reason why Kasgar could play like this.

Not only is the spearhead made of the sharpest Monomolecular Blade with Disintegration Field, but the material of the spear shaft is also refined and forged from minerals personally selected by Fulgrim.

In its extended state, although the spear shaft becomes very thin, it is extremely lightweight while still possessing enough toughness and stretch to "boom" Kasgar, who is fully equipped with Power Armour, high into the air.

It is indeed a master-level phoenix -Power spear with exquisite craftsmanship and multiple uses.

There was absolutely no intention to show off.

The operators of the Gardinal Titan also seemed to have never encountered such a scene before.

He also dared not allow the army behind him to attack his Titan Beast.

Force Shield can block anything.

It lacks the ability to distinguish between friendly and enemy attacks.

Now, he could only manipulate the Titan to swing violently up and down, trying to shake the other off his body.

Bang!

In that instant, Kasgar blasted another Shield Generator on the Titan.

The shield that bullets now pierce through the Titan is as thin as paper; it seems that one more hit would shatter it instantly.

Unfortunately, Kasgar was also thrown away by Titan's large body swing during this attack.

"You want to leave me behind?"

Kasgar smiled dismissively, and the Disintegration Field on his spear instantly shut down.

Go!

Like a python emerging from its den, the Extension Pole of the Power spear instantly exerted force, plunging the spearhead into the Titan Beast's body.

Receive!

With the spearhead firmly embedded in the Titan's steel armor, Kasgar, gripping the end of the spear shaft, was propelled by the powerful inertia and flew towards the Titan like a cannonball!

3D Maneuver Gear!

In Kasgar's hands, some seemingly useless gadgets can produce incomprehensible effects.

Just like now.

As Kasgar approached, he suddenly pushed off again, his spear acting like an ice axe as he rapidly climbed up the Titan's body.

Almost all the Emperor's Children and Iron Hands were focused on waiting, ready to launch an attack the moment the opponent's shield shattered.

Click!

With a loud bang, the last Shield Generator on the Titan Beast exploded, and the Force Shield that had been intercepting bullets vanished.

In an instant, the seemingly endless barrage of fire from the Iron Hands engulfed the entire Titan Beast.

"Damn it! Aim properly!!!"

"I'm not down yet!!!"

However, the next moment, the communication system transmitted Kasgar's angry shouts.

"Pfft."

Even the usually serious Company Commander Santo couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this.

Boom!

With a mournful cry, the enormous Quadruped Titan slowly collapsed to the ground, never to rise again.

There seemed to be some bullet holes and traces of explosions on the armor, and it looked rather dusty compared to when it had climbed up.

"Who is hitting friendly forces?!"

Kasgar shouted angrily.

But this is only the beginning.

As the first Titan fell, the two Titan Beast behind it eagerly trampled over the steel ruins of the former, unleashing a new barrage of fire at the enemies below who were just about to celebrate.

That Titan Beast was nothing but a fool who recklessly crossed the line.

Behind them, there were countless Gardinal warriors, numbering in the millions, waiting in full battle array behind the city walls.

What was assigned to their squad was merely the tip of the iceberg of Gardinal's terrifying land military power.

"How about we withdraw our defenses for now?"

The communication system transmitted a tense voice from Amarna of the Thousand Sons Intelligence Agency: "We have found Ultramarines survivors in the ruins outside the city, including Chapter Master Cicero."

"Well done, Amar. You lead them to retreat first, and find a chance to hide."

"The Titans have a much longer attack range than we do. Even if we retreat, our bases will become easy targets for them."

"But if we don't retreat, how are we supposed to deal with them?"

It is the sky.

In the sky, a beam of light, constantly distorting the air, descended and shot directly at the Titan Beast that was rampaging inside the city walls.

The Force Shield, which could withstand the artillery fire of the Kasgar forces for a long time, disappeared instantly, not even lasting for a second.

After being baked for several seconds, only a clump of melting metal mixture dripping with charred black liquid remained in place.

"It's Philus!"

"Philus has repaired the Space Elevator despite the enemy's attack on the spacecraft!"

"Our heavy weapons can finally be launched!"

With Amar's excited shouts, countless soldiers from the 52nd Expeditionary Fleet were landing on the surface of the Gardinal Prime before the black pillar behind him.

The enemy's Titans were the vanguard, and so were Kasgar and his men.

"Quickly, go back and rejoin them!"

Kasgar excitedly called out to the rest of the Sons of the Emperor's Motorcycle Unit, jumped onto the nearest one, and plopped down on its back fuel tank.

I'll hitch a ride.

A massive army.

This was Kasgar's first impression of the 52nd Expeditionary Fleet commanded by Philus.

Behind them, the Land Raider and Venom Cannon Tank stretched as far as the eye could see, accompanied by a large number of "mortal" auxiliary troops made up of Servitor, and their various mechanically distinctive weapons slowly moving forward.

Following these heavy firepower came the Red Robes Adeptus Mechanicus Missionaries, who, carrying all sorts of bizarre creations from various smaller Adeptus Mechanicus, joined the battlefield.

Call out--!

With a loud whooshing sound and the roar of engines, the Fire Raptor Gunship and the fully armed Thunderhawk Gunship flew over Kasgar, unleashing firepower at the defenders below the city walls.

Upon seeing such weaponry, Kasgar couldn't help but swallow hard.

It seems that their vanguard is no longer needed?

Under such overwhelming firepower, no matter how strong Gardinal's military strength is, it is impossible to confront the Iron Hands head-on.

Although he had previously served in Horus's fleet.

However, compared to the almost invincible, absolute torrent of steel that Iron Hands, even Horus pales in comparison.

Compared to the Senior Sister's overwhelming numerical superiority, even the Lunar Wolves has to be classified as a monster with mechanics.

Otherwise, how could we say that if the Senior Sister didn't play recklessly and didn't engage in one-on-one battles, Horus might not necessarily have been able to defeat her on the Isstvan V?

Your soldiers are dying every moment, but my mechanical army is endless!

Kasgar forgot something before.

The war level of Gardinal is apocalyptic.

"Who is that Land Raider?"

As countless steel torrents passed by them, Kasgar spotted a very peculiar Armored Vehicle.

Compared to other creations, it is equipped with more advanced and more numerous weapons.

It's more like a mobile fortress than Armored Vehicle.

Philus, carrying a full set of weapons and equipment and a tactical backpack, appeared in everyone's sight.

"Soldiers of the 10th Legion, you have done a good job."

Roar!

Even though Philus simply praised the garrison, the many Iron Hands beside Kasgar instantly erupted in a near-frenzied roar.

"Now, all the clans of the Iron Hands, join me in the attack."

As commands were issued through the neural pathways at the back of the Philus armor's head, countless missiles, lasers, Plasma Cannon, Earthshaker Cannon, Medusa Siege Cannon instantly came into view of Kasgar.

A terrifying explosion, like the collapse of the sky and the sinking of the earth, instantly shattered the already crumbling walls of the satellite city.

It was a terrifying scene, like the destruction of the world.

This reminded Kasgar of Veil Walker had shown him not long ago—the almost endless barrage of artillery fire from the illusion.

They look exactly alike.

A barrage of fire from the Iron Hands lasting for several minutes.

When the explosions and flames subsided, the place where the city walls and millions of soldiers once stood was now completely gone, not even a speck of dust remained.

All that remained were charred remains, dust, and lingering faint smoke.

Everything. Not just destroyed.

Rather, it's as if it never existed at all.

This city has been conquered by Philus with absolute force.

All resistance crumbled under her iron heel.

"Raze this city to the ground."

"Leave no one alive."

Philus's tone was icy, as if she were examining something that should be destroyed.

Wait!

Kasgar sensed something was wrong.

Philus, you're going a bit too far!

Satellite City are like Hive City in Imperium of Man, inhabited not only by the garrison of Gardinal, but also by billions of other residents.

Not only have they suffered Nuclear Weapon attacks from their own army, but now it seems even Philus is about to press the button that decides their deaths.

Blocked at both ends.

"Wait! Lady Philus, we don't need to do this!"

Kasgar quickly stepped forward to persuade him.

"No need? Hmph, Commander Kasgar Sherlock, the Sons of the Emperor, you are the first guy to dare disobey my orders in the midst of the army."

As Philus spoke, the surrounding Iron Hands booed in dissatisfaction.

How dare someone question the authority of Primarch Philus!

That's so mean!

Fortunately, the Mother of Iron forgave his overstepping of bounds.

"Keep going."

Philus overlooked this minor incident and drove the armored legion beside her through the gap in the city wall that should have been there, heading inwards.

Civilian.

They are weak and therefore deserve to be driven by the strong and to suffer the ravages of war.

If it's not to demonstrate strength and defeat the enemy, why start a war?

In this world, only the strongest can decide the life and death of others.

If anyone dares to harbor disloyal thoughts, today's events are the best example of that.

"They will remember the painful lessons of today."

Not only the common people, but also the arrogant and foolish rulers in Gardinal who lacked a true understanding of war.

Philus hated these arrogant, futile, and ridiculous fools the most.

They deserve to be taught a lesson.

Philus waved her hand mercilessly forward.

"Damn it."

Kasgar was extremely anxious at this moment.

The defenders of Gardinal have been completely routed, Iron Hands has taken over the city.

Once they are all in our hands, no further killing is needed.

That's the logic.

Unfortunately, Senior Sister Philus, who is full of absolute social ideals, does not seem to have any intention of letting go of these civilians who have already been hit by several nuclear bombs.

No

Kasgar's concerns extend beyond the civilian population of the satellite cities.

If Philus continues to be so obsessive, she may very well fall into the abyss in pursuit of so-called absolute power.

This is a future he absolutely cannot accept.

"Aqua Duna, how's the situation on your end?"

He pointed the communication device to his ear and shouted urgently.

Wait, he remembered the small team he had previously arranged to infiltrate the city and cause destruction.

"Are you there? Answer me!"

Answer me!

"Beep beep—"

"This is Aqua. What is it?"

After a burst of static, the communication system finally received a reply from the Second Captain of the Sons of the Emperor.

How's the situation on your end?

"Excellent, 70% of the city's power supply has been destroyed—"

"That's not it! What I wanted to ask was whether you encountered any rulers there. I mean, the ruling officials of Gardinal!"

By the way, according to the locals in Gardinal, it is—

[High Lord].

But it seems that even summoning the High Lord was useless in the face of Philus's absolute rage.

"Wait, excuse me, I'll be right back. What did you say? You're the High Lord? You're surrendering?"

"There really is one."

Not long after, Aqua's incredulous voice came from the other end of the communication system.

"The High Lord of Gardinal wants to surrender to us."
