Chapter 144 Titus
Chapter 144 Titus
The war will not stop because of Russell's compassion; on the contrary, the scale of the fighting will only grow larger.
As the war grew larger, this infuriated Admiral Quark.
"Damn it!" Quark roared angrily.
Commissar Kane had rarely seen Admiral Quark lose his composure like this.
"I've always been merciful to Balunan because I see it as an important industrial city. But these bastards are getting more and more arrogant. I'm going to send a large army to wipe them out!" Quark roared.
Admiral Quark was not exaggerating when he said this; he did indeed have the ability to mobilize a large-scale army to fight, such as a million Krieg Death Legion and a dozen or so Armigeddon Steel Legions. However, once these legions arrived, the planet Barunan would likely suffer huge losses, rendering the war meaningless.
"General, you need to calm down!" Commissar Kane advised.
Admiral Quark took a few heavy breaths and said, "Tell me, what good ideas do you have?"
“Barunan has always been of great value to the Empire, and we cannot allow it to suffer excessive damage,” Commissar Kane said.
Admiral Quark nodded and said, "Go on."
"Perhaps we can ask the Space Marines for help. They are skilled at striking the enemy's core. Once those noble rebellions are eliminated, the rebellion will be unable to continue."
"I've thought of this idea too. Which warband is willing to help us?"
"There's an Ultramarines squad in this star system. We could try inviting them!"
Admiral Quark's eyes lit up with delight: "If there really are Ultra Warriors, they will definitely help us."
Admiral Quark took out a special communicator and said: "I am Admiral Quark, requesting to connect to the Ultramarines communication channel."
After a while, General Quark smiled and said: Sergeant Titus, this is the planet Balunan, we need support!
"Received, Admiral Quark, we will proceed to Planet Barunan immediately."
Admiral Quark laughed: Commissar Kane, how do you know there are Ultramarines in this star system?
“I met Sergeant Titus a few months ago, and at that time I learned that they were carrying out a mysterious mission in this star system.”
"With their help, I won't need to mobilize a large army."
Three days later, Titus and his fellow warriors landed on the deck of the warship.
To welcome Ultramariner Admiral Quark, who brought a group of high-ranking Imperial Navy officers to the deck.
Titus was the first to emerge from the gunboat. He was not wearing a helmet, had short hair, and a gold stud on his forehead—the standard of a century-old veteran.
Judging from his appearance, he is close to 3.5 meters tall, wearing the latest Mark 10 precision armor, with a tactical knife, a chainsaw sword, and a bomb gun hanging at his waist.
Admiral Quark thought this Titus was very handsome.
Extreme warriors give people a different feeling. Most of them are handsome and resolute, serious and earnest, always with a serious and reliable feeling.
Perhaps it's because their blue armor looks so pleasing to the eye.
Behind Titus were three combat brothers and four Redeemer Dauntless Warriors.
The Redeemers are a more legendary and ancient type of warrior. They are nearly ten meters tall, wielding a battering ram in their right hand and a large-caliber howitzer or flamethrower in their left.
Rumors have it that the Ultramarines are the Empire’s most powerful and wealthiest chapter, and the fact that four Dreadnoughts have casually appeared this time proves the rumors true.
“Welcome, Sergeant Titus,” Admiral Quark greeted him.
“I am a warrior from the Ultramarines of Honor, a son of Robert Guilliman, and my name is Titus.” Titus began by introducing himself.
"Welcome, Sergeant Titus!" Admiral Quark said again.
Titus nodded and said: "Admiral Quark, what are your instructions?"
“Planet Barunan is an important industrial city, and I can’t bear to see it suffer large-scale destruction. However, the rebellion here cannot be left unquenched, so I want you to carry out a decapitation operation, which will end the rebellion.”
Sergeant Titus nodded and said: Thank you for trusting Ultramarines. I will do my best to complete the mission!
"Thank you so much!"
"However, I also have a request?"
"Sergeant, what do you have to say?"
"My Gene Father, Lord Robert Guilliman, is overseeing all affairs of the Empire on Terra. The Ultramarines' homeland is suffering from a brutal war. The Plague Lord, the Zerg, the Orcs, and the traitorous Son of the Emperor are all wreaking havoc there. The Gene Father has sent us to support Alteramar, and we need a contingent of elite Astral Force soldiers to accompany us."
Admiral Quark paused for a moment before he could speak, and Commissar Kane interjected: "I happen to have an elite Imperial Guard, the 357th Regiment of the Cardiah Assault Regiment. Lieutenant Russell is arguably the strongest in the Astral Army. They can accompany you to Alteramar."
It's undoubtedly a bit too early to call Russell the strongest Astral Army, but Commissar Kane believes he will become the strongest Astral Army sooner or later.
Titus frowned slightly. The words "strongest Astral Army" sounded a bit strange to him, but since the political commissar had praised him as the strongest Astral Army, his strength must be considerable.
“Once we complete our mission, this so-called strongest Astral Army will need to come with me,” Sergeant Titus said.
“Okay, I’ll arrange it,” Commissar Kane replied.
…………
"We also need powerful warriors like Russell!" Admiral Quark didn't want the 357th Regiment to leave either.
Commissar Kane smiled helplessly: "Sir, there's nothing we can do about it. We need the support of the Space Marines."
“But we can send another group of Astral Army soldiers,” Admiral Quark thought this was the most suitable option.
“Space Marines are as common as hairs on a cow in Alteramar, so one Star Guardian there is nothing special. On the contrary, we don’t have a single Space Marine here, which is why we need Russell even more. I know this, but for the sake of the Empire and for Guilliman, we must send out our strongest warriors.”
After Commissar Kane finished speaking, Admiral Quark also said: "For the Empire, for Lord Guilliman, you did the right thing."
…………
The massive riot shield almost completely blocked the rain of laser bullets.
At this point, Russell had already led his men in a counter-offensive against the Barunan light infantry line.
With his left hand holding a huge riot shield, he placed the Fire Kirin on the shield with his right hand and began firing at the Barunan light infantry.
The tactical armor of the Barunan light infantry was insufficient to withstand the flames of loyalty from the Fire Kirin, and one by one, the Barunan light infantrymen were killed.
The trenches were quickly cleared to create an open space.
