The Destroyer differs from other Titan designs in that its plasma reactor is placed behind the outer armor.

This unique design gives the Marauder an advantage in frontal combat, but also makes the reactor more vulnerable to fire from the rear and flanks. As a result, The Destroyer/Marauder is not well suited for intense combat in urban areas or other densely built areas.

His speed in the open field makes these not a big deal. But in a city with a complex environment, it's normal to have your butt stolen.

Not to mention that now surrounded by dozens of new Titans, the Destroyer simply can't take care of its rear.

The Destroyer's Void Shield generator and heavy Adamantite Tilt armor give him superior protection, but the new Titan weapons are not weak.

While the new Titans are very different in size from these Titans, their weapons are not much different from these Titans.

Admittedly, a Destroyer Titan usually has three universal weapons, while a new Titan can only use one weapon at a time. But the number of new Titans is unmatched by these Destroyer Titans.

Each Destroyer Titan is surrounded by dozens of new Titans. If you simply equate the firepower of three new Titans with the firepower of one Destroyer Titan, it means that one Destroyer-level Titan will face the firepower of more than a dozen Titans of the same level as oneself.

How does this make the Destroyer Titans of the forces of chaos resist?

And that's just counting the weapons in the hands of the new Titans, the various models of the new Titans themselves also have their own different core abilities and various heavy firepower.

Many Polaris Titans snipe the Destroyer from a distance with their plasma railcannons. The plasma railgun in their hands is also capable of charging six layers, and the power of the railgun with six layers of power can be increased by nearly six times.

In addition to the weapons it holds, Polaris also has the heavy firepower of cluster missiles. There are two rounds in total, and after the first round of the cluster missile is fired on the right shoulder, another round will be fired from the left shoulder. The main missile splits into 4 small missiles, which will spawn multiple bomblets to continuously attack nearby targets after exploding.

Originally, Polaris could also use its core ability to attack the enemy by continuously firing unguided rockets after flying. But this method is too ostentatious, suspended in the sky over the battlefield actually means that the North Star flies in the sky to the enemy Titan as a live target, and it is easy to be killed by the enemy Titan with one shot, so it is not used.

In addition to Polaris, there are also powerful Titans who attack the Destroyer with a 40mm homing cannon and a large number of homing missiles of their own.

and the Flame Titan, whose T-203 thermite launcher can deal powerful burn damage to enemy Titans. A direct hit will destroy the armor of the enemy Titan with high temperatures.

Even if it misses and hits the ground or the roof of a wall, it can scatter 3 thermite shards and set the ground on fire, scorching enemy Titans.

The best performing Titan is the Ion Titan. The Ion Titan wields an Energy Rifle whose ammo is the energy of the Titan itself. Different damage can be dealt through different energy outputs.

It also has a laser cannon mounted on its shoulder, which can deal a lot of damage to enemies. The Destroyer deals the most damage to the Ion Titan's laser core.

After focusing, the Ion Titan's chest will fire a series of crimson lasers with extremely high attack power and a wide attack range, whose beam area is more than ten times larger than that of the Astral Army's laser gun, and can deal extremely high damage to enemy Titans. The Ion Titan has a considerable sustained monomer output.

Dozens of new Titans of all kinds carried out a single round of attacks at the same time, and the Destroyer-level Void Shield could not withstand it, and it was instantly overloaded. And the armor of the Destroyer itself could not withstand this terrifying firepower, and was directly destroyed.

Now, Chaos could no longer stop the astral army's withdrawal.

The Thunderhawk gunboats and Thunderhawk transports are capable of supersonic cruising in the atmosphere, and they arrive at great speed, landing, and the already prepared Astral Force quickly enters the airframe, while the new Titans are clamped by the huge magnetic clamping arm under the Thunderhawk transport.

This mode of transportation allows the new Titans to use their own weapons while being transported. He was able to suppress the enemy's infantry units on the ground with some Thunderhawk gunboats to ensure that he could evacuate smoothly.

Under the watchful eyes of the enemies on the ground, the evacuation of the entire city was completed.

Their speed was not unstoppable, and it took less than two Terra hours to evacuate them all.

So many Astral Army besieged in every corner of the city, dozens of enemy Titans, not to mention those armored vehicles and Chaos Warriors. If it was the previous Astral Army, it would not have been possible to accomplish this kind of mission at two Terras. I'm afraid it won't work for two or two months.

Once they fail to evacuate quickly, the battle will be stalemate, and there will be more and more subspace demons coming out of the center of the city. Although the number is the advantage of the Astral Army, it still can't compare to the endless demons. In the end, the Astral Army will inevitably lose.

As for whether the previous Imperial Navy will ignore the Astral Force on the ground and directly carry out orbital bombardment, that is another question.

And, given the Empire's previous efficiency, whether the Empire can send troops to arrive before chaos completely encroaches on the planet is the first question to consider.

Soldiers are fast, both tactically and strategically.

However, although the Astral Army had completed the evacuation as quickly as possible, there were still many demons and war machines pouring out of the subspace rift.

In their direction, all the buildings in the city were toppled and destroyed by these tall demons and monstrous war machines. The city's complex environment has not slowed down their progress in the slightest.

By the time the Astral Force had withdrawn from the city, the vanguard of this extremely powerful force of terror had reached the edge of the city. They even sent a small group of warriors to stop the astral army from withdrawing.

However, a large number of Chaos vehicles were advancing with the large force outside the city, and only a few war machines followed this small group of warriors to stop the astral army from withdrawing. The complex environment of the city still has some influence on them.

Therefore, when the Astral Army withdrew, although the vanguard of the main force of the Chaos Forces had reached the outskirts of the city, this group of warriors had not yet reached the battlefield and stopped the Astral Army that was about to evacuate.

At this point, the plans of the apocalist forces to start a large-scale war in the empire could almost be declared a failure.

After the evacuation of the Astral Army in the city, dozens of warships in space can destroy all the Chaos Believers and Chaos Warriors in the city through high-powered orbital bombardment without restraint, and completely destroy this magic nest.

Under the powerful orbital bombardment, and all demons, chaos cultists, and evil symbols in the city have been erased, it is difficult to maintain the subspace rift.

At this time, on the outskirts of the city, the newly emerged demonic vanguard from the rift in subspace had already started a battle with the Astral Army. Even if it was the vanguard force, this was also an extremely powerful force, which made the Astral Army, which had easily eliminated a group of demon legions before, feel a little pressure.

The first to arrive were several Hell Dragons of the Chaos Forces, and as flying units, they were the first to rush out of the city and start a battle with the Astral Army.

Unlike most demonic engines, Heldrakes are not usually forged, but are naturally formed organically in the Eye of Fear.

It is a fighter plane once piloted by a Space Marine pilot, and has been exposed to the distorted energy of chaos for a long time. As a result, they are now controlled by demonic powers, and they wander back into the sky day and night like evil mutated monsters.

Although the construction of the Astral Army's fortifications and defensive weapons took only a short time, the shooting fortifications, transportation fortifications, and shelter fortifications for the soldiers were all available, including command posts, personnel lounges, ammunition depots, ambulance stations, power stations, filtration and ventilation rooms, and more.

Moreover, through various defensive weapon systems, an all-round three-dimensional defense system has been established that can resist surprise attacks, anti-airborne, air defense, and air attacks. There are even personnel who specialize in detecting vibrations underground, in order to prevent the forces of chaos from attacking from underground via the Termite Boring Machine or the Immortal Breakthrough Drilling Rig.

A few Hell Demon Dragons could not pose the slightest threat to the Astral Army.

...

* Termite Boring Machine: Invented during the War of Unification at 30K. Launch through vehicle vehicles, then advance underground through a series of hot melt cutters, phase shield generators, and giant drills to evade enemy fire.

A single Termite Boring Machine can usually transport two teams of Space Marines behind enemy lines, and the Termite Boring Machine is usually equipped with a variety of heavy weapons. For example, laser cannons, heavy flamethrowers, deflagration assault guns or heavy explosive bombs, etc.

Since the TBM's ground transport vehicles are unarmed, they will launch the TBM far from the battle line, and the TBM will then sail deep underground towards its target. All termites that set off generally use the same tunnel, one after the other, until the last moment they separate and break through to the surface.

Once the termites break through to the surface and reach the surface, they will fire at full power, then anchor themselves to the surface and release the deadly passengers they are carrying.

* Hades Breakthrough Drill Rig: The Hades Breakthrough Drill Rig is an engineering device used by the Human Empire for military and civilian purposes. This drill rig is commonly used in the mining world of the Empire, helping miners dig new mining tunnels to find ore deposits, and remove rubble and debris.

Once used in combat, its main task is to drill tunnels under enemy positions or to breach fortifications.

...

Looking at the Hell Demon Dragon attacking him from the distant sky, his hideous appearance and the flames spit out from his mouth did not cause the astral army to panic in the slightest. Dozens of anti-aircraft units opened fire together, and these Helldemon Dragons of the Chaos Forces fell from the sky.

But the commander of the Astral Army didn't show the slightest relief. Through the information transmitted from the battleship, he knew that this was nothing more than a reconnaissance force of the Chaos Forces, and the real big scene was still to come.

In addition to preparing for orbital bombardment, the warships in space have also been providing a series of assistance to the astral forces on the ground, such as reconnaissance, communications, navigation, positioning, early warning, and monitoring.

Fighter planes are fleeting, so it is necessary to obtain and process all kinds of battlefield information in a timely manner, and quickly make judgments and dispositions in order to win the initiative in combat. Through their studies at the Military Academy and the Fleet Academy, officers of both the Astral Army and the Imperial Navy realized this.

When the war begins, the Astral Force and the Imperial Navy will establish a temporary integrated command structure, build a command network integrating command, control, communications, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, and implement integrated command decision-making and integrated command and control.

In accordance with the requirements of integrated joint operations, it is necessary to establish an operational command organization that integrates operational command and command support among all services and arms, so as to realize the integration of the forces of all services and arms and the integration of various combat operations.

This is also the reason why the commander-in-chief of the Astral Force stayed on the battleship in space and did not land in Rapole with his soldiers.

The key to mastering the defense initiative lies in building an intelligence information network system to realize the interconnection of intelligence information and resource sharing between the Astral Army and the Imperial Navy.

Through the continuous flow of enemy information from the battleship, the commander of the Astral Force in the defense line on the ground can easily grasp the chaotic combat intentions and signs.

Therefore, the commander knew that these Hell Dragons were nothing, and the Chaos Demon Army was still rushing towards them. But the Astral Army was ready.

After eliminating several Chaos Dragons, the Commander of the Astral Army defense line learned that all the Astral Forces in the city had been evacuated, and no matter how powerful the Chaos forces were, they would be left with no bones under the orbital bombardment of the Imperial Navy.

But the commander of the defensive line did not breathe a sigh of relief, because the enemy's large forces had reached the edge of the city and were attacking them.

Unlike the sporadic Chaos Demon Dragons before, the Chaos Demon Dragons that attacked this time were densely packed in the sky. And on the ground, all kinds of chaotic demon engines and demons appeared.

The Chaos Rand Raiders and Chaos Rhino have transported many members of the Astrology Gang, along with heavy vehicles such as the Chaos Predator Tank and the Chaos Siege Cannon.

"Boom Boom"

Imperial warships in planetary orbit have begun orbiting the city, and the forces of chaos in the city will be destroyed in the bombardment. There will be no more Chaos forces coming to the real universe from subspace.

As the first shells of the orbital bombardment landed in the city, the Chaos forces that had come to the edge of the city began to attack the Astral Army's defenses.

Judging from the attack range of orbital bombardment, the astral army in the defense line and the chaotic forces they are facing are too close together, and if this group of chaotic troops is also orbitally bombed, it is easy to cause accidental injuries.

Therefore, at present, the Chaos forces that have come to the front of the Astral Army's defense line can only rely on the Astral Army's own efforts, and the Imperial Navy can only provide them with intelligence or material support.
