Chapter 755
Among the many Plague Warriors defending the assault landing site and the armored forces of the Death Guard's Second Company, a Knight named Soul of Corruption stood with ten others, guarding a Warlord-class Titan.
The earth trembled. Every time the giant war machine lifted a foot or brought one down, the mortals on the battlefield shuddered in fear.
That disgusting Titan looked less like a Divine Machine born piece by piece in a manufactorum and more like a patient covered in putrid tumors.
Even the auxiliary personnel from an Adeptus Mechanicus Forge World could not tell whether the Warlord-class Titan's machine spirit had betrayed them, for countless tumor-like tentacles had formed a system of drives and joints that had completely replaced the Titan's original ruined structure.
Even the weapons on the Warlord-class Titan's arms had been replaced by a green barbed whip and a living weapon: a maw like a double-barreled cannon extending from its rotting flesh.
Since their own Titan Legion had other duties, those fighting the Death Guard could only do their best to withstand the Titan's firepower and launch feeble counterattacks with various heavy weapons.
The only advantage was that this Warlord-class Titan did not belong to any Legion, and only ten Knights guarded it.
The mutated, living Warlord-class Titan advanced while bombarding the defenses. Heavy cannon fire and missiles from the defensive positions burst against the Void Shields around it.
As the Titan drew closer to the defensive positions, its firepower became an urgent problem that had to be dealt with. Ezekiel left Azrael's side and went directly to the front line to face the Warlord-class Titan advancing from several kilometers away.
This man, the most powerful Psyker among the Dark Angels, bore many titles.
