Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the huge Thunderhawk drew a trail in the air and finally stopped firmly on the ground.
When the cabin door opened, twelve giants in armor walked out of the spacious cabin with neat steps. The dim sunlight shone on their silver-gray armor, exuding a sacred halo.
One of them is holding a battle flag high. On the front of the battle flag is a scene of the greatest warrior of mankind defeating aliens. On the background are two long swords crossing upwards. On the back are a skull and a golden eagle symbolizing purity and death.
After all the soldiers stepped out of the cabin, they immediately dispersed in a fan-shaped formation and pointed their guns at the surroundings with vigilance.
Immediately afterwards, three Land Speeders drove out from the engine room, each with two soldiers on board, one responsible for driving and one responsible for controlling the heavy explosive bombs on it.
The STC design of the Rand series can be traced back thousands of years before the Empire, but after the turbulent years, its design was once lost until the legendary technological archaeologist Akan Rand rediscovered it.
Legend has it that it was Rand's Raider template that was first discovered - it was the dawn of the Empire, and it originated from a great expedition by the technical archaeologist Akan Rand in the Great Library of Vientiane on Mars.
The main purpose of Rand himself going down to this labyrinth tomb was to find the stc database that was still functioning.
Although he did not achieve this main goal as a result of this expedition, he did make two discoveries that changed the thinking of scientific and technological development in the next thousand years.
The first item is an almost complete STC data image of a heavily equipped field tank saved on a data board.
The second discovery revealed information about a rare anti-gravity metal plate, which also led to the birth of the Land Speeder.
But Rand himself was killed by a supernatural being during his second expedition. No one in his team survived. What other secrets of the dark ages died with him.
The Land Speeder is an arrow-shaped assault vehicle that swoops down from the smoke-filled skies, screaming into its terrified prey and lashing them with its fire-breathing heavy weapons.
During the Great Crusade era, Land Speeders were often used as the tip of the spear to penetrate enemy flanks and rear formations, as each ship could tear apart enemy lines with deadly accuracy, yet its speed and maneuverability would allow
The enemy lost the opportunity to retaliate.
With the beginning of the Second Founding of the Army, just like other standard manufacturing template vehicles used by various Adeptus Astartes in the galaxy, the Land Speeder has become an ideal vehicle for adapting to various tactics due to its extremely solid structure and flexible deployment method.
It is a universal vehicle for various roles and is widely used by various battle groups.
Due to the sophisticated anti-gravity webbing on its bottom, this land speedboat can ignore the laws of gravity and glide on the ground at a very fast speed.
Within short distances, it can increase the output of its anti-gravity field, allowing it to fly briefly at low altitudes.
It was this ability that earned the Land Speeder its fearsome reputation on the battlefield.
They roared and screamed, like angry phantom storm clouds bursting from the storm, throwing thunder and lightning into the ranks of the Empire's enemies below, and then disappeared in a heartbeat.
.
Although this land speedboat is small and nimble, it is as powerful as any Space Marine vehicle, and the weapons it carries are much larger than its size would indicate.
As a two-person aircraft, one person plays the role of the pilot. With the help of the auxiliary pilot spirit, he can complete high-speed flying stunts and thrilling explosive acceleration that would be fatal to a mortal.
The other person is the weapons hand. Through the auxiliary aiming system, his weapon can be locked tightly on the enemy and focus on pouring counterattack firepower on the enemy.
Land speeders are excellent forward reconnaissance units. They are usually organized into a group of three and can be equipped with weapons such as heavy bolters, assault guns and missile launchers. They are also equipped with long-range reconnaissance scanners that can be quickly obtained.
Dynamic intelligence on the battlefield within hundreds of square kilometers.
It was not uncommon for Land Speeder pilots to have their entire support formation make a brave vertical landing and disperse, the wind carrying their battle-hungry cries and elated howls across the battlefield with a sound like a storm.
It's like he's laughing.
"Chapter Commander, the reconnaissance team is in place and ready to go at any time."
Ustad, who was in the co-pilot seat of the first Land Speeder, reported to Soshyan through the public channel.
"Okay, pay attention to safety and report any situation in time."
"yes."
After saying that, the small formation of three speed attack boats left the infantry formation and headed straight to the unknown area ahead.
Due to the lack of understanding of the surface conditions of the planet and the inability to receive any ground signals, Soshyan decided to land in the Eighth Parish where the Ministry of Justice was located, and entered the Ministry of Justice fortress to see if he could collect key intelligence.
Generally speaking, when a riot or disturbance occurs on a planet, the law enforcement agency of that planet must be the first to take action.
Although there is a high probability that the law enforcers have died, perhaps they have left behind law enforcement records or relevant physical evidence, which can allow Soshyan to understand what exactly happened on the planet and how it happened.
Before landing, Soshyan also summoned the nearest Inquisition fleet - after all, they were the experts in handling such matters, but it would take at least a week for the fleet to arrive.
After the reconnaissance team drove a certain distance and confirmed that there was no enemy, Soshyan led the team and began to move beyond the target.
They are currently located in the old city of the Eighth Parish. If the map is correct, they are about twenty kilometers away from the Ministry of Justice fortress built in the wilderness. If nothing else, they will be able to reach it soon.
In fact, Soshyan still hopes for some "accident".
Because the whole process was so smooth and quiet, from the moment their Thunder Eagle broke through the planet's atmosphere to now, everything around them was just dead silence.
The street seemed to have just experienced a carnival. There were debris everywhere. The walls and trees were covered with profane symbols and graffiti painted with blood. Behind the open doors and windows were many statues made of various materials.
Just looking at it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Even if you can't see what those statues are trying to express, you can still feel that they are "laughing". Under the gaze of these weird statues, the Astral Knights team walked into the city step by step.
"Chapter Commander, look."
Suddenly, Farzad, who was holding the flag, made a surprised sound. Soshyan turned his head and saw strange electric sparks bursting out from the tip of the group's flag.
This situation is rare and has only one explanation.
"Be vigilant."
It was obvious that there were enemies around, and there were quite a few of them.
The soldiers raised their guns one after another, and the scanning devices on their helmets kept patrolling in the shadows of the buildings.
At this time, the wind suddenly picked up, blowing up debris and dust on the ground, making the whole space become even weirder.
