Chapter 59: Into Hell

As the human fleet leapt into Char's vicinity, the swarms of insects and transports surrounding Char swarmed in, and Renault saw the light spears on the Angel's Tears ignite the first Leviathan to rush in, and the entire fleet began to project fire.

A large number of allosaurs poured out of Behemoth, which had been opened by the cannons, and these allosaurs projected bladeworms at the human fleet in a dense formation, but the laser arrays and bombardment guns intercepted more than 90% of the attacks.

Especially the Opalon battleship, the Angel Tears attracted most of the firepower with its eight-kilometer-long body, but the swarm's weapons were not enough to shake the Angel Tears, the powerful Void Shield.

With the Angel's Tears as the spearhead, the human fleet unstoppably chiseled through the swarm defending Char, and after entering Char's orbit, Horus's first order was to airdrop the Space Marines.

The fleet dropped a total of 50 crew drop pods and more decoys to attract swarm anti-aircraft fire, and the friction between the huge drop pod and Char's atmosphere produced a violent fire that shone like a star.

After the first batch of airdrop silos was projected, the orbital fleet began to maneuver defensively, and the orbital defense system on Char was not removed, and the swarms of other galaxies were also increasing, and the fleet could only find a window to put troops in while fighting.

Although it was disturbed by the swarm, in fact any bug that tried to attack the fleet would be crushed mercilessly, with the support of the expeditionary force, the human warships on Char are now much stronger than the original, and the general swarm attack will only increase the consumption of the fleet's ammunition.

It's not that the biological bugs in charge of orbital defense on Tsar haven't tried to shoot down the battleships in orbit, but as long as they fire, it won't be long before a macro cannon will hit them on their heads, and a macro cannon using a plasma warhead is much more powerful than a laser array.

The first drop bay to land like a meteor did not contain Space Marines, but was filled with all kinds of artillery, and the Deathstorm Drop Chamber, which was originally used on Meinhoff, was recovered and reused on Char, and the cannons protruding from the drop bay shattered the surrounding swarm of insects like a wind and fallen leaves.

Then the empty capsule filled with the original cast Space Marine also landed, "Report to Command that we have reached the surface of the planet and are beginning to set up a field. ”

Sergeant Maghra strode out of the drop bay and stepped on a jumping insect that had been cut in half by the automaton but was still moving and trying to attack him, and although he was only half of his body, he was still a threat to mortals.

"Sergeant, the orbital command ordered us to seize the C12 area as a landing site, and after completing the mission, defend in place and wait for the auxiliary army to land."

Marghera nodded, then slashed the stinging snake to death with an axe, and then led a team towards the C12 area.

All 50 drop pods were safely projected onto the surface, which means that there are now 300 primordial Space Marines operating on Char's surface, two-thirds of whom are responsible for establishing landing grounds, while the rest are going to key areas of the worm tunnel to deploy hot melt bombs to destroy all the tunnel worms.

As the original cast Space Marines entered C12, the alien units in the area were completely wiped out, and even the fungus blanket was ignited by the heavy flame guns carried by the Eradicators, and the symbol of the swarm's existence was burned to the ground in the heat of thousands of degrees Celsius.

After receiving the signal that the landing ground had been cleared, the fleet moved again, and the Hercules transport, which was protected by battleships and loaded with landing crews and auxiliaries, began to enter the atmosphere.

Of course, the top priority is the Space Marine's heavy equipment, such as the Counter-Attacker Hovertank and the Victor Tactical Warframe.

After seizing the cyberpunk world more than a decade ago, massive industrialization has allowed the Expeditionary Force to finally start using conventional vehicles on a large scale, and even some new heavy equipment belonging to the original Star Marines has entered service.

Even the Astraeos Super Heavy Hovertank and Daring Do of the Redeemer began to have a small amount of equipment, and the first to hit the surface of Char was a Counterattacker Hovertank, which began bombarding nearby swarm anti-orbital organisms with a laser claw mounted on its turret after crushing a few jumping worms with an anti-gravity plate.

With the C12 landing ground fully consolidated by ground forces, Horus left his flagship and arrived at the Char surface, as did the Rangers and General Warfield of the Tyranid Empire.

In order to ensure the safety of the higher-ups, mainly Renault and his party, several falling hammer bunkers were dropped from orbit to strengthen the defense of the ground, and the falling hammer bunkers were highly weaponized defensive positions with a large number of automatic cannons and missiles installed on them, enough to destroy a large number of incoming enemies.

Dressed in custom Terminator armor, Horus stood on the surface of Charna, where the average temperature reached 48 degrees. "What is the condition of the artifact?" Cruise asked.

"It's been assembled, my lord, the Overlord gunboat is transporting it down, and soon, he can start charging it." Saul replied.

On the sidelines, Renault was busy directing his rangers to help fortify the surrounding area, while Tykes, who had already gone to the front line to play a game of fighting bugs, preferred to feel the artillery fire and smoke on the front line rather than sit in the headquarters.

"Lord Proto, the tactical aircraft we modified is ready to be put into use." Said the Sage of Clecis, who had also come to the surface command.

"Then deploy these tactical aircraft in the x36y12 area, this traffic artery cannot be missed." Cruise said, flipping through the tablet in his hand.

The MUV world used to use these large mechs on a large scale more than ten meters high, but after a large-scale transformation of the Mechanical God Cult, they were finally put into use again.

These war machines are generally equipped with Gatling bombs, hot-melt spear ion cannons and various missiles after modification, their firepower is more than ten times more powerful than the original, and Tao Gang's high-performance armor has also greatly strengthened their defenses, although due to cost reasons, only equipped with ion shields, but these tactical machines are still comparable to the war dog-level Titans.

There are now 12 tactical aircraft deployed on top of Char, which is equivalent to deploying 12 War Dog Titans.

The main reason for deploying these big guys is to deal with the Thunder Beast, the regular force of the expeditionary force cannot block the Thunder Beast in time, and the cannon fire is easy to accidentally injure friendly troops, once it is broken into by the Thunder Beast, it will cause a lot of losses, but for this reason, the deployment of the Warlord-level Titan is too overkill, and it is just right to use a modified tactical machine.

After the war with the BETA, the MU V coalition government handed over all the tactical aircraft to the expeditionary force, and they didn't need this kind of thing anyway, these used to fight against the BETA

There was a-for-tat confrontation between the tactical machine and the swarm.
