When the human fleet jumped into the vicinity of Char, the insect swarms surrounding Char and the transport ships swarmed in. Renault saw the light spear on the Angel's Tears igniting the first Leviathan that came over.

Then the entire fleet began to continuously project firepower.

A large number of alien dragons emerged from the large hole opened by the macro cannon in Behemoth. These alien dragons launched blade insects at the human fleet in a dense formation, but the laser array and bombardment cannon intercepted more than 90% of the attacks.

Especially the Opal Dragon battleship, the Angel's Tear attracted most of the firepower with its eight-kilometer-long body, but the swarm's anti-ship weapons were not enough to shake the Angel's Tear and its powerful void shield.

With the Angel's Tear as the spearhead, the human fleet drove through the swarm defending Char with an unstoppable force. After entering Char's orbit, the first order Horus gave was to airdrop Space Marines.

The fleet airdropped a total of 50 manned airdrop pods and more decoys to attract the anti-aircraft firepower of the insect swarms. The friction between the huge airdrop pods and Char's atmosphere produced violent fires that shone like stars.

After the first batch of airdrop pods were launched, the fleet in orbit began to conduct defensive maneuvers. The orbital defense system on Char was not removed, and the insect swarms in other galaxies were also constantly increasing. The fleet could only fight while searching.

Invest in troops during the window period.

Although they have been disturbed by the insect swarm, in fact any insect that tries to attack the fleet will be crushed mercilessly. With the support of the expeditionary force, the human warships on Char are now much stronger than the original ones. Generally,

An attack by the swarm will only increase the fleet's ammunition consumption.

It’s not that the biological insects responsible for orbital defense on Char have never tried to shoot down warships in orbit, but as long as they fire, macrocannons will hit their heads soon. Macrocannons using plasma warheads are much more powerful than laser arrays.

Already.

The first airdrop pod that landed like a meteor did not contain Space Marines. Instead, it was filled with various artillery pieces. The Deathstorm airdrop pod originally used on Meinhof was recovered and used again on Char.

, the cannon protruding from the airdrop cabin shattered the surrounding insect swarms into pieces like strong winds blowing fallen leaves.

Then the empty head capsule filled with Primaris Space Marines also landed. "Report to the command center that we have arrived at the surface of the planet and are starting to establish a field."

Sergeant Magra strode out of the airdrop pod, then raised his foot and trampled to death a springtail that was shot in half by an automatic cannon but was still moving and trying to attack him. Although only half of his body was left, he could still pose a threat to mortals.

"Sergeant, the Orbital Command ordered us to seize the C12 area as a landing site. After completing the mission, we will defend on the spot and wait for the auxiliary troops to land."

Magra nodded, then killed the Hydralisk who wanted to attack with an axe, and then led a small team towards the C12 area.

All 50 airdrop pods were safely launched to the surface, which means that there are now 300 Primaris Space Marines operating on the surface of Char, two-thirds of them are responsible for establishing the landing site, while the rest are heading to the key to the worm tunnel.

Melta bombs are deployed in the area to destroy all Nydus Worms.

As the Primaris Space Marines entered the C12 area, the zerg units in the area were completely wiped out. Even the carpet was ignited by the heavy flame guns carried by the Eradicators. The existence of this swarm under the high temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius

The symbol was burned to the ground.

After receiving the signal that the landing site had been cleared, the fleet took action again. The Hercules transport ship, which was protected by the battleship and loaded with marines and auxiliary troops, began to enter the atmosphere.

Of course, the top priority is the heavy equipment of the Space Marines, such as the Counterattack Hover Tank and the Victory Tactics Armor.

After seizing the Cyberpunk world more than ten years ago, large-scale industrial construction enabled the Expeditionary Force to finally begin to use conventional vehicles on a large scale, and even some new heavy equipment belonging to the Primaris Space Marines began to enter service.

Even the Astraios super-heavy hover tank and the Redeemer Dreadnought began to have a small amount of equipment, and the first to drive onto the surface of Char was a Counterattack hover tank, after crushing a few springtails with anti-gravity plates

Start bombarding nearby insect swarm anti-orbital organisms with the laser claw long-range laser cannon mounted on the turret.

As the landing site in area C12 was completely consolidated by ground forces, Horus also left his flagship and arrived on the surface of Char. Of course, the Rangers and General Warfield of the Tyranids also came.

In order to ensure the safety of high-level personnel, mainly Renault and his team, several Hammerdrop bunkers were airdropped from orbit to strengthen ground defense. The Hammerdrop bunkers are highly weaponized defense positions with a large number of automatic cannons and missiles installed on them.

Destroy a large number of incoming enemies.

Wearing a customized Terminator armor, Horus stood on the surface of Charna where the average temperature reached 48 degrees. "What is the condition of the artifact?" Cruz asked.

"It has been assembled, sir. The Overlord gunboat is transporting it down. Soon, he will be able to start charging." Sol replied.

On the side, Renault was busy commanding his rangers to help consolidate the defenses of the surrounding areas, while Tychus had already gone to the front line to play a game of hunting bugs. He preferred to feel the artillery fire and gunpowder smoke on the front line rather than sitting at the headquarters.

.

"Master Primarch, the tactical aircraft we modified is ready for use." Sage Clesis said, who also came to the surface command headquarters.

"Then deploy these tactical aircraft in the x36y12 area. This traffic artery cannot be missed." Cruise said while turning over the tablet in his hand.

The MUV world once used these large-scale mechas with a height of more than ten meters on a large scale. After large-scale transformation by the Mechanical God Cult, they were finally put into use again.

After modification, these war machines are generally equipped with Gatling bombs, melt lance ion cannons and various missiles. Their firepower is dozens of times more powerful than the original ones, and high-performance armor like Tao Gang

Their defense has also been greatly strengthened. Although they are only equipped with ion shields due to cost reasons, these tactical aircraft are still comparable to the Warhound Titans.

There are now 12 tactical aircraft deployed on Char, which is equivalent to the deployment of 12 War Dog-class Titans.

The main reason for deploying these big guys is to deal with the Thunder Beast. The conventional forces of the expeditionary force cannot stop the large and heavy assault force of the insect swarm such as the Thunder Beast in time. The artillery fire coverage will easily injure friendly troops. Once the Thunder Beast breaks in, it will cause a large number of casualties.

However, deploying the Warlord-class Titan for this purpose would be overkill, and using a modified tactical aircraft would be just fine.

After the war with beta ended, the MU coalition government handed over all the tactical aircraft to the expeditionary force. They had no need for such things anyway. These aircraft that once fought against beta
Chapter completed!
