Upon receiving their orders, the soldiers sprang into action. With practiced speed, they operated the equipment in their hands and placed transmission beacons glowing with mysterious light at designated locations.

These transmission beacons were like bridges connecting different spaces. Once activated, they could instantly open a passage to the destination.

Since personally experiencing the enormous advantages of deploying soldiers through teleportation technology, the various Astartes Chapters had decisively abandoned the old method of having troops slowly approach and land on target planets aboard transport ships.

That method carried far too many risks. If the anti-air firepoints within a target planet had not been completely eliminated, those defenceless transport ships would become targets for the enemy's fierce artillery fire, resulting in devastating casualties among the landing forces.

Using teleportation platforms to send soldiers directly into target planets was not only faster, but also far safer.

As the transmission beacons erupted with dazzling light, Apocalypse Tanks, escorted by mortal auxiliary troops, rapidly entered two industrial worlds within the Fulas Galaxy.

Under the escort of the mortal auxiliary troops, the Apocalypse Tanks began launching a massive offensive against defensive positions across the Fulas Industrial World.

"Attack! Hit them hard!"

When the mortal auxiliary soldiers and tank forces surged like a tide before the various defensive positions, the noble commanders stationed there instantly widened their eyes and roared at the top of their lungs, their faces twisted with fury.

In an instant, deafening gunfire and cannon blasts engulfed the entire battlefield.

"Rat-a-tat-tat..." The heavy weapons within the positions—the terrifyingly rapid-fire Lumberjack Machine Guns—spat flames madly, spraying streams of bullets like raindrops at the charging mortal auxiliary troops.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The immensely powerful artillery pieces showed no weakness either. Amid earth-shaking thunder, shells screamed through the sky and slammed toward the mortal auxiliary troops.
