The Fierce Angels' Seventh Armored Company and First Elite Company were commanded by Genos and Kao, respectively, and tasked with spearheading the assault.
A hundred light and heavy armored vehicles of various types were deployed on the battlefield, while ten Thunderhawk gunships waited inside the city, ready to provide fire support to the front lines at any moment.
The Seventh Company consisted of tank crews and gunship crews.
Maintenance, logistics, and piloting more than a dozen Land Speeders were all handled by the technical sergeant platoon the Soul Forger had assigned to the Fierce Angels.
But an armored company rarely went into battle as the sole armored formation.
Among the Mortal auxiliary forces, the 22nd Cadian Armored Regiment would support the Space Marines. It had hundreds of light and heavy tanks of various types, and would assist the Space Marine armored company in battle.
Moreover, the Templar Knights were an independent force, and their armored units would also take part in wars that were neither purges of corruption nor campaigns against Daemons.
Lu Jin carried his Warhammer and Greatsword up a small hill beside the plain.
He saw the spearhead advancing toward the cluster of enemies on the plain.
The Space Marines and the Mortal tank forces rolled across the plain in a mixed formation, moving at a steady pace.
The First Company's elite troops marched behind the tanks.
Ahead of the tanks was the Templar Knights' armored force.
But it had no tanks, only Knight Mechs.
Forty-one Knight Mechs advanced in formation, spaced twenty meters apart in a ring around a much larger Knight Mech at the center, a Lord-class.
The Templar Knights had developed alongside the Fierce Angels.
Their armored force consisted of forty-one Knights in all.
Twenty of the smallest, Acolyte-class; twenty Wanderer-class; and one Lord-class, larger
