Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 1005

Chapter 996: This is how Titan is used

The battle before him shocked Robert.

Coming from the founding expedition, the Son of God had assumed he wouldn’t be surprised by any battle scene.

After all, what kind of war had he not experienced?

But this was something he had never experienced before.

Across this relatively small area, the wreckage of Titans lay on the ground, so many that it was hard to count them. Near these Titan wreckages lay the bodies of the Great Unclean Ones, countless more.

Not to mention the piles of corpses of Nurgle worshippers and demons that practically covered every inch of the area.

He had commanded battles against the Thousand Titans before, and had seen the Great Unclean Ones, the highest level of Nurgle demons.

But could such beings appear in large numbers?

The appearance of even one of them on a battlefield would be a revelation!

And now, there were dozens of them, both living and dead!

As for those thousand Titans… deploying a thousand Titans so densely in a single area of battle… How was such a precious weapon of war used?

Being treated like super soldiers, massed together to engage in hand-to-hand combat?

If Robert had encountered this before, he would have court-martialed the commander who made such a decision!

But in this situation, Robert couldn’t bring himself to say anything.

How else could the Titans be used? On the battlefield, these massive beasts had to be brought in close to effectively entangle those enormous demons, creating more opportunities for Martins and his men to kill these Great Unclean Ones.

Here, Titans had to be used this way, no question about it.

What surprised Robert even more were the Alliance warriors.

If they were Space Marines, it would have been fine. Robert knew what Space Marines were like. Driven by their genes, they were natural warriors, capable of sustained combat even in the most desperate of circumstances.

Not to mention the Sisters of Battle. While they were technically mortal, they were blessed by faith—both spiritual and supernatural.

But what about the mortal soldiers?

Such battlefields always made Robert shudder!

And these mortal soldiers fought tooth and nail!

They weren’t cannon fodder; their existence had its purpose.

They stood at the Titan’s feet, protecting it.

A Titan could be destroyed in the battle against the Great Unclean Ones, which would at least inflict damage on the daemons, at the very least delaying or trapping them.

However, a Titan couldn’t be damaged or destroyed by the ordinary-sized Daemons and Chaos Space Marines swarming from the ground.

Even if these creatures ran over void shields and energy shields, stuck close to the Titan’s feet, and dropped a corrosive bomb, blowing off a Titan’s leg, it would still be a mere loss.

Their mission was to keep these enemies firmly outside the Titan.

Often, dozens of soldiers and Battle Sisters would guard each Titan, led by several Space Marines.

The Titans, in turn, shielded the Champions, drawing the Daemons’ attention head-on, allowing these elite warriors to find opportunities to inflict damage.

Robert immediately grasped the dynamics of the battle and his own role.

His troops, chanting “For the Emperor,” joined the fray.

His descendants, the Custodians, and a handful of human soldiers also joined in protecting the Titans.

Robert and Yan Xinzhen, like Martins and the others, began looking for opportunities to hunt down the Great Unclean Ones as the Titans clashed.

With these two, the rate at which the Great Unclean Ones were eliminated increased significantly.

Their combined combat prowess was extraordinary; among all the Alliance, only Martins possessed comparable strength. Others, like Dante and Raymond Weiss, were certainly not as effective as the Son of God, and certainly not as effective as the Grand Marshal of the Custodians.

There was one exception—Grit.

This soaring Living Saint fought with extreme aggression, completely disregarding her own life. This made her efficiency only slightly inferior to that of the Grand Marshal of the Custodes after she joined the battle.

Robert soon understood why this Living Saint was so fearless and unafraid.

He watched with his own eyes as a great demon grabbed the Living Saint with a single slap, stuffed it into its bloody maw, and swallowed it with a slurp of chewing.

It should have been a sure death.

However, within ten seconds, a golden light erupted in the air, opening a portal to heaven. The radiant Living Saint spread its wings, revived, and soared forth, continuing the battle with the Great Unclean One!

The sight nearly stunned Robert.

And soon, he saw that Robert wasn’t the only one possessing special abilities, protected by mystical powers.

He witnessed a Blood Angels Chapter Champion, cornered, forced to face the slashing blow of a great demon. The massive demonic sword that slashed down vertically was more than half the Space Marine’s height in width!

Even a champion wouldn’t be able to withstand such a blow; instant death was inevitable.

But suddenly, a flash of lightning struck him, causing him to appear three meters away. The demon’s massive sword missed, leaving him roaring furiously.

Similar situations occurred several times.

A lightning shield deflected and deflected a fatal blow; a flash of lightning saved a warrior who would otherwise have died; a lightning boost made attacks that would have been minimally damaging to the demon even more devastating…

Robert realized that this lightning flash seemed to be everywhere.

Soon, he felt it himself.

He exchanged a glance with Yan Xinzhen, who had just arrived not far from him. Shock was visible in each other’s eyes.

The Imperial Guards Marshal couldn’t help but ask, “Is this Gu Hang’s power?”

“Yes…” Robert replied, then added, “Perhaps only a portion of it.”

“Incredible…”

Yan Xinzhen sighed.

However, this seemed to be just the beginning.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the number of Great Unclean Ones on the field was no longer large, with only less than thirty left.

Of course, the human side also suffered heavy losses, with only more than two hundred Titans left.

Whether it was mortal soldiers, battle sisters, or space marines, the losses were also very heavy.

Even those champions, even with the protection of divine power, were inevitably killed in battle.

If this situation continued, it would be difficult to say which side would win.

And at this moment, the fat Qi Bo Du, sitting on the rotten throne, made a new move.
