Chapter 2762 |˙˙) Want to Light a Fire to Calm Down...
Under Horus's command, Sejanus, captain of the Shadowmoon Wolves' Fourth Company, led nearly twenty thousand Astartes Space Marines, more than a million Imperialis Militia troops, the Adeptus Mechanicus Titan Legion, and their mechanized forces in launching the first assault on the Guixu City steel fortress and its outer defenses, held by the Canopy Star Defense Corps.
As the battle began, the earth and sky seemed to split apart. Artillery roared, and all kinds of screams and cries of slaughter rang across the front lines.
The fighting had been fierce and evenly matched from the very beginning. Every kind of unit took its turn, and both sides looked ready to beat each other's brains out.
For example, along the main front, the Astartes Space Marines, clad in heavy armor and wielding blades, truly resembled a pack of frenzied wolves as they led the Imperialis Militia in repeated charges against the Canopy Star Defense Corps' lines. Deafening explosions, the thunder of charging troops, the shrill rattle of Bolter fire, and the soldiers' roars and screams filled every corner of the battlefield.
The Adeptus Mechanicus Titans were locked in a savage brawl with Canopy Star's enormous Thor mechs. Those massive War Machines charged across the battlefield, every collision accompanied by a deafening crash, while their feet trampled countless innocent soldiers from both sides.
The mechanized and armored forces needed no introduction. They floored it and charged without hesitation toward the defenders' positions, where the Siege Tanks and Hurricane missile vehicles were stationed, pushing through countless Widow Mines that blew themselves up. They didn't care if the mines' fusion engines tore them apart. Their only goal was to clear a safe path for their own Astartes and Imperialis Militia to charge through.
