Chapter 1434: Their Colossi Aren't As Big As Ours

Goke looked up at the sky, his hand gripping his Battle Axe tightly.

"Our aircraft... cannot beat them."

Golong did not look up.

"Hmph, once they land, we will let them know the might of the Broken Bone Empire."

The battle lasted for over ten minutes; the Orc fighters suffered heavy losses, and the remaining ones dared not charge again, circling at high altitude.

The Valkyrie Transports did not pursue, continuing to cover the landing of the drop pods.

Gokazi stood on the platform and gave an order to the High Priest.

"High Priest, have the Anti-Air Cannon batteries concentrate their fire and shoot those transports down."

The High Priest waved his hand, the Anti-Air Cannon batteries adjusted their firing angles, and energy beams concentrated toward the Valkyrie fleet.

One Valkyrie was hit, then another; their wings snapped, and they spiraled toward the ground.

The drop pods began to land; the first batch of drop pods slammed into the wasteland, the ground shook, and dust rose up.

The hatches exploded open, Sons of the People Space Marines wearing red Power Armor charged out, Bolters opened fire, and the nearby Orc warriors were struck down before they could even react.

Goke poked his head out of the trench and saw a Two-legged Sheep warrior in red Power Armor charging toward his side.

His heart rate accelerated, and he raised his Battle Axe and jumped out of the trench.

"Kill!"

Goke charged up, his Battle Axe swinging down.

The Battle Axe cleaved into the Power Armor, opening a gash, and then this Son of the People Space Marine pressed his Bolter against Goke's chest and pulled the trigger.

Goke's chest exploded, and the Rune mark flickered once before extinguishing.

He looked down at the hole in his chest and fell over.

His eyes remained open, watching a large foot step toward him.

Ge Ta charged up from the side, his Battle Axe swinging toward the red warrior's shoulder.

The warrior raised his left arm to block, sparks flew everywhere, leaving a scratch.

The warrior drew his Combat Knife with his right hand and stabbed it into Ge Ta's abdomen.

Ge Ta screamed and fell.

Golong charged out of the trench, holding a Rune Gun in his hand, firing continuously.

Energy beams struck the red warrior's Power Armor, splashing sparks.

The warrior turned, raised his Bolter, and Golong ducked back into the trench.

A bolt exploded at the edge of the trench, sending gravel flying.

In the sky, more drop pods were falling.

The second batch, the third batch, the fourth batch.

The red pods slammed into the wasteland like raindrops, crashing around the trenches and into the midst of the Orc warriors.

The warriors of the Sons of the People poured out of the pods and quickly deployed into combat formations.

The sound of Bolter fire rose and fell in succession.

Gokazi stood on the platform, watching as a mere thousand-plus enemies threw his warriors into total chaos, and immediately roared.

"Rune War Colossi! Advance! Crush them!"

The earth shook as twelve Rune War Colossi moved from the outskirts of the city toward the wasteland.

They were sixteen meters tall, their entire bodies made of dark red metal, covered in Runes, their eyes burning with flames, and every step made the ground tremble.

Gokazi's mouth curled into a grin.

"Two-legged Sheep, let me show you the true power of the Broken Bone Empire."

On the wasteland east of the Wangzuo Ting, the battle had fully unfolded.

The Sons of the People Space Marines advanced in squads, Chainswords and Bolters tearing bloody paths through the Orc ranks.

The Rune marks on the Orc warriors' bodies significantly boosted their strength and speed, but they still held no advantage against the Sons of the People Space Marines.

In the sky, the Valkyrie Transports were still locked in combat with the Orc fighters.

There were fewer and fewer Orc fighters, and the smoke and dust over the battlefield grew thicker.

The High Priest walked to Gokazi's side.

"Great King, the Rune War Colossi are in position. The Energy Cannons are also charging; those Two-legged Sheep's ground troops are advancing faster than expected, but the numerical advantage is still on our side."

Gokazi said.

"Have the Rune War Colossi push up, with Energy Cannon cover; no retreating allowed."

The High Priest nodded and turned to issue the order.

The twelve Rune War Colossi accelerated, the three in the front row raising their stone axes as they charged toward the Sons of the People's position.

The ground trembled even more violently.

Golong crouched in the trench, gasping for air.

There were fewer and fewer living warriors around him; he looked up and saw the Rune War Colossi approaching in the distance.

"Ancestors protect us."

He growled as he stood up, gripped his Rune Gun, and jumped out of the trench.

The twelve Rune War Colossi stepped onto the battlefield, every step making the ground tremble.

They were sixteen meters tall, nearly seven times taller than the Sons of the People Space Marines, their shadows cast upon the ground like moving hills.

The Orc warriors charged between the legs of the Colossi, letting out war cries.

Golong looked up at the nearest Colossus.

He gripped his Energy Gun, his finger gently rubbing against the trigger.

"Crush them!"

At this moment, a roar different from before came from the sky, followed immediately by the ground shaking.

A Knight Mech of the Tailin Knight House walked out and landed behind a Sons of the People Space Marine.

It was ten meters tall, nearly half the height of the Rune War Colossus.

Painted in blue and white, its right arm was a Melta Cannon, and its left hand was a massive Chainsword.

The pilot sat in the cockpit within the mech's chest, looking at the battlefield outside.

The Sons of the People Space Marines on the battlefield looked at those landing Knight Mechs.

An Orc warrior charged over holding a Chainaxe, only to be struck down by a Space Marine's Bolter.

The Sons of the People Space Marine did not stop, casting his gaze toward the Knight Mech behind him.

The Knight Mech had landed right behind him, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Behind the Orc warrior, a Rune War Colossus was closing in.

The Colossus's eyes burned with flames as it lowered its head, staring at the ten-meter-tall Knight Mech.

The distance between the two was less than two hundred meters; the Colossus's footsteps made the ground tremble, while the Knight Mech remained motionless.

The shadow of the Colossus was cast upon the Knight Mech, covering the mech entirely.

A Sons of the People Space Marine looked up at the Knight Mech.

"Tailin Knight, you've come at just the right time."

The Knight Mech's pilot did not speak, raising the Melta Cannon to aim at the Colossus ahead.

Golong poked his head out from the trench and saw the ten-meter-tall mech, his eyes widening.

"What is that?"

An Orc warrior nearby also saw it.

"The Two-legged Sheep's iron man... it's shorter than the Colossus."

"Hahaha, their colossus isn't as big as ours."

Both sides opened fire while charging forward in the footsteps of the Colossus.

"For the Emperor!"

"Broken Bone is eternal!"
