Above the sky, there is a transparent gray, and between the clouds and mist, the strange fluctuating colored light is watching all things in the world.

The wind whistled by.

The roar of armor tore through the continent, the tracks ran over the sand, making a creaking and crunching sound, and above the flat desert, a long line of deep iron with no edge in sight was slowly advancing, layers of thin sand were raised, the earth was yellow and covered with steel, and the steel warriors who were moving quickly did not slow down at all.

There was a sound of breaking wind in the sky, and the sharp blades of the wings of the storm bird tore through the sky, reflecting the blurred figures of countless flying ships in the gray sky.

The sand and gravel trembled, and then it was violently shaken, and the huge steel god machine passed, and above the layers of dark ash, there was not a trace of the banners of the original Titan Legion - they were corroded, erased, and finally the banner of his own legion was branded by the greedy Lord of Steel, which belonged to the Titan family of the Iron Legion.

The knight's massive figure seemed so small at the Titan's feet at this moment, and they nimbly interspersed in the shadow of the divine machine, providing assistance to the steel giant.

Hades stood silently on the small stone slope in front of the Blackstone Obelisk, frowning as he counted Perturabo's forces as the Silent Order's Thunderhawks' Bird Servants scans flowed smoothly into Hades' mind.

Enemies on all sides.

Based on previous estimates of the Iron Warriors' fleet, Hades estimated that there were at least 80,000 Iron Warriors stationed on the planet, as well as countless armored and stormbird units.

Staring at the steadily advancing figures, Hades frowned.

No, something is wrong.

Hades thought, the rebels were moving in unison, the army was completely silent in the world of sound and airwaves, almost like an army of the dead, no one gave orders, but everyone marched as if planned.

Hades originally planned to start electronic warfare first and cut off the other party's communications, but at this moment, a strange scene made him think otherwise.

At least physically, Hades didn't detect a single signal, and there was no need for communication on the other side......

Or do you need to get up close and personal to know what's going on.

Hades thought, but the first thing they had to do was to carry the first few rounds of fire bombardment from the Iron Warriors, and he could already hear the sound of those artillery arrays slowly spinning, and he could hear the tyrannical energy being accumulated.

And the speed of the army, which was slowly marching, has obviously slowed down, and the long armored units have begun to raise their barrels, the data are calculating, aiming -

Hades pinched the time, he first ordered the Scout Thunderhawk hovering over the airspace to urgently avoid this airspace, although the air troops on the opposite side were storm birds, and the Silent Retreat was the more advanced Thunder Eagle, but in the face of the huge number of Iron Warriors, these small birds were obviously not enough.

Thunderhawk's figure disappeared into Hades' eyes, and the air supremacy of this airspace was temporarily vacated, and if Hades didn't make up for it next, the Iron Warrior's Storm Bird would occupy it.

But for now, Perturabo won't send the Storm Birds, Hades knows as he knows, because he knows that the Iron Lord is about to start a scrubbing bombardment.

Hades took a few deep breaths, and the pale green arc crackled like tiny static electricity as he breathed, but it was too far away - Perturabo cleverly kept it far enough away that he seemed to realize that distance would weaken Hades' power.

Hades pondered that the blackstone obelisk occupied by the Silent Retreat was at the junction of a sandy desert and a low hillside, and within the sandy desert, there were still three blackstone obelisks in a triangular distribution, and behind the low hillside there were no such alien buildings.

But no matter where you looked, you could see the army of the Iron Warriors, and the army closest to Hades was the armored company in the sandy desert, and the sharp color of steel stopped at the nearest place to Hades, not far from the desert black stone obelisk.

The good news is that the Iron Warriors who were stationed under the Blackstone Obelisk left them with a trench to avoid battle, and the trench is dark and deep, and the Iron Warriors look solid.

Hades smiled, he briefly remembered his cooperation with the Iron Warrior Trident Dantiok, I wonder if he broke away from the Iron Warrior in time? Hades remembers that in the original books, Perturabo sent the heroic Iron Warrior to another battlefield, and Dantioc escaped as a result.

Hades glanced at the trenches deep in the blackstone obelisk, the Titan dangling his solid left arm beside him, and Hades stepped on it in silence, where the Psionic Titan's unique shadow left hand reflected the faint sunlight.

He now has a total of two psionic Titans, a team of Soul Knights, and apart from the necessary soulless guarding under the blackstone obelisk, Hades has not sent too many soulless people down.

The Titan stood upright in silence, the huge steel trembled slightly, Hades knocked on its shoulder casually, and a dull voice sounded, as if sensing something, the psionic Titan was forcibly imprisoned, and the alpha-level psionics who were charging batteries seemed to tremble.

The Syllable Titan, a warlord who belongs to the Order of Doom, was eventually divided into two Silent Monks, which were charged by three psionic beings and piloted by a male untouchable - yes, before the Silent Order was formed, female untouchables would be included in the Silent Sisters, and male untouchables would be secretly trained by the Empire to be the pilots of these big guys.

Merely...... The Ominous Psionic Titan that Hades is now riding on doesn't include the Soulless Pilot.

The pale green arc lit up, and silvery droplets flowed silently through the nourishment chamber that imprisoned the psyker, and now the big guy's pilot was on the outside of its cockpit, and Hades directed it to aim at the armored cluster in the distance.

Hades' dark eyes reflected those long dark gray lines.

Perturabo thought he would go into the trenches to avoid the battle? No, no, no, no, since Perturabo was the builder of these trenches, Hades was sure that the Lord of Steel knew how many shells it would take to blow them up completely.

Although the Silent Retreat also has an advanced close-in interception system, Hades believes that the improvised system is still not enough to combat the oversaturated bombing.

So...... For Hades, the choice he needs to make is obvious.

The engines roared, and in a very short time, Hades' troops were warmed up to their best.

A smile appeared on the corner of Hades's mouth, and he would only stick to one place, and Peturabo, who sought stability and accuracy, probably would not have thought of what Hades would choose to do.

According to habitual thinking, Perturabo would only think that Hades would use the cover trenches to lead his army to hold the stronghold they had just conquered.

That's why...... The reason why his army is still too close to Hades.

Perturabo was cautious, he knew to stay away from Hades, but he was also arrogant enough that he arrogantly thought that this distance could stop Hades' scythe.

The Iron Lord believes that Hades will never take the risk of provoking the Iron Warriors' long front with a very small army, without any reserves—this is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

But he underestimated Hades, and at the same time, Hades only needed to hold out until the Iron Hand arrived.

The gray mist fluttered weakly, and a faint smell of gunpowder smoke passed over the nose.

Hades gripped the scythe, and the bottom of the scythe slammed down, making a distant trumpet sound.

In an instant, the black blade charged towards the line of steel.

At the same time, tens of thousands of shells screamed into the air, black lines weaving huge cobwebs in the air.

————————

In the strategy room at the rear of the front, Perturabo stood up abruptly and angrily "stared" at the front.

What to do on the other side? What are they doing?!

They...... They want to die directly here?!

The cannons roared, the earth and stones splashed, and the blazing fire crashed violently against the earth, but the knights did not hesitate to charge, as if they had foreseen the landing point of each shell, and they accurately crossed the deep pits that had been blasted.

The strange Titan strode forward fearlessly, the Void Shield lit up with bright white ripples two meters away from the Titan's divine machine, not like a knight who could flexibly dodge, and the Titan charged directly against the fire, the cannonball hit straight up, and exploded the scattered fireworks on the white screen.

Before you know it, Perturabo is already gritting his teeth, launching, bombing, bombing!

Titan's Void Shield reactor is capped and can be effectively attacked as long as the opposing shield energy is depleted...... Or, the Iron Warriors need to use armor that rivals the eerie Titans on the other side.

Behind the armored battle line, the giant figure, which had been used as a long-range fire support platform, began to slowly advance.

The smoke of the first round of the main bombardment began to dissipate, but Perturabo never wasted any time, the faster reloading artillery had already begun the over-bombardment, but after the first round of artillery bombardment, he realized that the Iron Warriors also needed to adjust the opposite side of the trajectory, and began to change their movement path, and the speed of the charge line was even faster and faster!

How could it be!

Perturabo stared at the image coming back from front of him, not even a single knight was left behind, and the strange silver-white metal covered the parts of the crater blackened by the artillery fire, slowly wriggling like a living thing.

What kind of witchcraft is this......

Perturabo wondered when his father had hidden such a strange presence under his hands. Compared to the cursed, the psionic tricks that Magnus had shown to Perturabo had become more relatable.

But this was not the time for him to think about this, and Perturabo adjusted the angle of the battery, and he opened his eyes angrily, since the curling fire did not solve the opposite ......

The Silent Retreat is about to come within range of the Iron Warriors' direct fire, and at that point, the Iron Warriors' armored forces will surprise them-

The scorching and smelly wind slammed Hades on the heights, and the Immortal's eyes did not blink, and the Titans beneath him ran and jolted violently.

They were about to be within range of the Panzer's direct fire—in other words, the Iron Warriors were already within range of the Wedge-Lined Charge, the Silent Order.

"Launch."

Hades said, and at the same time as his voice sounded, an ominous glow on the left arm of the Doom-level psionic titan.

The crippled engine on the Shadow's left hand let out a terrifying scream, and a strange wave of pitch-black ball lightning twisted and swam in the space and stabbed at the armored company in front of Hades, from the ominous black light to the scream exploded, as if it only took a moment, a violent scream sounded, and within the company of the Iron Warrior, the space was torn apart, and the strange light lit up from that end.

Like a small vortex that existed in this space, the heavy armor that Perturabo was once proud of was easily torn apart like pieces of paper, and the steel was twisted into splinters and sucked in by the vortex.

Hades watched in silence at the rift that had suddenly appeared in the Iron Warriors' fleet, and now the seemingly perfect array of Iron Warriors had been physically torn apart, and the vortex was finally expanding, struggling to take more life with it.

It's like an enlarged version of the vortex bomb that Motarian once used, and the principle is to tear open a hole in the subspace, and then let the twisted and mixed space tear apart everything around it.

In an instant, the vortex screamed, and the armor that had been standing still seemed to be in chaos for a moment, as if they hadn't reacted, but Hades wouldn't give them a chance, and the moment the space was torn apart, the knights' thermal cannon fire at the Titan's feet also hit their enemies.

Almost, Hades thought.

"Launch."

As if by witchcraft, two more whirlpools formed with the words of Hades, easily dragging all the creatures they met into the abyss.

At this moment, the heavy artillery fire that fell behind the charging line of Hades and his party was already like a joke, and Hades didn't even need to look back to know that the continent behind them had been blown down two or three meters of sand.

Buzz Buzz – Boom !!

The first berserk Spirit Knight had already charged into the ranks of the enemy, the Reaper Chainsaw Sword roaring to shredder metal, and the Adamantite armor crashing directly into the Predator Tank, which tyrannically chose melee combat, wielding the Chainsaw Sword wide open.

The roar of the chainsaw was the next horn, and the knights rushed into the steel queue one after another, the tall cavalry scattered the opposite queue, and at the same time, the dark gray knights also rushed out of the layers of battle lines on their own, they wanted to fire cannons, but the spirit knights led by Hades had already rushed in front of the other party, and the chainsaw sword slashed straight into the cockpit!

The next moment, the huge Titan also entered the battle line, Hades lowered his eyes, and the Psionic Titan's body seemed to suddenly ripple with invisible ripples, and then, the violent pulse wave vibrated out, and around the Titan, the inside of those short armors had been shattered into scrap metal.

Darkness began to descend as violent waves of pulses spread in all directions, tyrannical pale green lightning lit up around each of the knights and titans, frenzied praises rang out in the channel, and silver-white teardrops dripped down the sand, slowly and silently spreading over the countless metal corpses, climbing above the unconscious dark gray steel.

Hades frowned deeply.

"Stay away."

One moment of darkness, the next, Hades frowned as the beings who struggled to attack the charging queue fell into a deathly silence.

No - they don't have souls?

Hades thought about it, but the Titan he controlled still didn't hesitate, and the divine machine rushed straight towards the blackstone obelisk in the steel queue-

Perturabo slammed the podium, and Vashtor, beside him, gave him a leisurely look.

Above the wasteland, a second blackstone obelisk lit up with black lightning.

All right
