Chapter 68 Vulkan—Lord of the Fire Dragon (please first order, monthly ticket)

"This is truly a treasure land with beautiful scenery."

Kano somewhat admires himself for being able to maintain humor in such a harsh environment.

He was standing in the Stormbird's cabin, his left hand firmly grasping the gravity net above his head, and half of his body stretched out from the open hatch.

The whole world is shrouded in flames, and the earth is black and red. Black represents the solidified magma, while red represents the part that has not solidified in the scorching state.

The light of the stars was completely obscured by the lead-gray volcanic ash.

But even so.

Some dim light can still be seen in the sky.

Those lights may look like inconspicuous fireflies at first glance, but they actually represent the beacon of human civilization.

Even in the harsh environment of Atum.

Humanity is still tenaciously taking root here, establishing military bases and necessary communication facilities.

This is a beacon watching the darkness. Once the war spreads along the dark route to the Talas galaxy, the human legions stationed on Atum can buy precious time for other planets in the galaxy.

In Kano's eyes, the Milky Way is so vast.

But the war can actually fill it up, which is really incredible.

Boom!

A powerful hurricane is coming.

The hot volcanic ash choked Kano's face, and he was glad that his breathing grille was not blocked by the dust.

The violent airflow hit the Stormbird, and for a moment Kano felt like he was in free fall. Then the engine gathered energy again, and the pilot regained control of the aircraft.

"This world brings us no less threats than those greenskins."

Kano frowned and said.

"Then let them try." A ferocious voice like a fanatic came from behind Kano.

That's Amit, the commander of the fifth company.

He wore a blood-stained Terminator armor, which was covered with dense bullet marks and scratches from various melee weapons.

He did not wear a helmet, and the expression on his face was somewhere between the ferocity of a butcher and the elegance of a killer. In Kano's judgment, Amit must be one of the most dangerous people in the Ninth Legion.

Fortunately, they are comrades in arms.

It must be a terrible thing to be an enemy of such a monster.

Boom!

Another hurricane is coming.

The Storm Bird, which had finally stabilized, lost its balance again, and its body shook violently.

The left wing is raised upward, as if it is about to turn 360 degrees in the air.

On the other side of the volcano.

The central mouth of the volcano is erupting crazily.

Almost a quarter of the top of the mountain was blown away, and huge volcanic debris roared down to the plain below.

A huge piece of molten rock as big as a meteorite flew towards the Storm Bird. Even the most skilled pilot could not avoid it in such a harsh scene.

Bang!

Violent vibrations came from under my feet.

Kano heard the sound of something colliding and cracking. The engine was instantly overloaded, and a large amount of thick smoke came out from the damaged cabin below.

"The servo system is out of control!"

Zizzi!

The pilot's voice sounded in the cabin, full of despair and urgency, "We have lost all visibility, we are falling!"

The sky was filled with flying volcanic ash, and the burning gas engulfed the Storm Bird.

Rubbles fell from all directions, and ashes hit the cabin like hail, making a dense sound.

At a certain moment.

Kano saw a giant wave of magma tens of meters high tearing through the dense fog, roaring past at speeds exceeding hundreds of kilometers per hour, destroying everything in its path.

The whole world is wrapped in red and gray.

A continuous muffled sound came through the burning clouds in front of me.

The crimson ground was rapidly enlarging as the sky was spinning. Kano saw Amit walking quickly past him, and then jumped down from the open hatch of the Storm Bird without hesitation.

Kano was shocked by such crazy behavior, but he had no other choice at this time.

All we can do is grit our teeth.

After selecting an open landing site, follow closely.

Bang!

When his legs touched the solid ground, Kano's hanging heart finally relaxed.

He probably fell from a height of about fifty or sixty meters.

This height is not fatal to the Space Marines. What is really fatal is to fall directly into the magma lake.

Even wearing fully armed power armor cannot survive for long in magma at thousands of degrees. The deadly high temperature will suffocate space warriors into delicious canned meat.

Amit will definitely like——

Kano thought hummingly in his heart.

Because by chance he encountered a scene where a soldier was suffering from blood thirst, Kano is now considered a "core" member of the Ninth Legion.

He knew that the original Ninth Legion soldiers had a tradition of feasting on corpses.

And it has a long history.

Amit and Azkelon are all representative figures.

After the angels returned to the Legion, this inheritance was not completely eliminated.

It's just that it has been moved from the bright side to the dark side. The Feast of Corpses still exists in the Legion, but it has become a secret that will not be actively talked about.

Kano landed on a towering cone-shaped volcano.

It stands on a piece of molten lava, the hot magma is shining with dazzling firelight, and the golden river flows through the ancient shadow.

The initial slope of this huge volcano was extremely steep, but halfway up the mountain where Kano is located, the terrain suddenly eased.

The flanks here are extremely open, and there are basically no traces of magma flow.

Even a new recruit like Kano can tell.

This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. One man can guard it but ten thousand men cannot open it.

Perfect for building a fort.

In fact, the angel had the same plan.

The first batch of heavy armored units has been placed on the hillside by a heavy transport ship, and the rest of the Storm Birds have entered from different angles.

Their engines roared to enable them to land as smoothly as possible against the harsh local natural environment.

Boom!

Kano heard the violent sound of the explosion.

He looked along the sound and saw that the Storm Bird he had just been riding on was being swallowed by the rolling lava.

A large number of bubbles rolled up and popped up. Thinking of the desperate cry of the pilot when the Storm Bird crashed, Kano's mood suddenly became gloomy.

Until now.

He didn't even know if his companions escaped from the cabin before the crash.

The harsh natural environment did not stop the determination and will of the Ninth Legion and the Eighteenth Legion to conquer the world and resist the orcs.

More airships arrived one by one, and a large number of shadows appeared above Kano's head. Their shapes were different.

The roar of overloaded engines was everywhere, and flames fell on the black ground.

Boom!

The volcano erupted again.

The surrounding visibility dropped to zero, and the full battlefield perception system on Kano's helmet screen showed a dazzling red.

The surrounding environment became increasingly hot and unbearable, and Kano felt like a shrimp trapped in a can that would soon be open to enjoy.

But even if the environment is so bad.

In front of Kano, the towering fortress walls were still built at a staggering speed, and thick black gun barrels extended outward from the reserved shooting holes with a daunting momentum. Kano
