Battle broke out in the Fault Zone at the edge of District Three.

Since the target threat level was high and powerful Psyker Units might be present, Cassius held nothing back this time.

The civilians of District Three, having received the evacuation order, fled the war zone in terror.

Meanwhile, Medusa's Sons Squad displayed the terrifying depth of their status as elites of the Magra Clan.

First came the roaring of steel.

Three "Ironclad Terminator Armors" strode out of the Thunder Eagle Gunships like moving ancient fortresses.

They were not equipped with common Assault Cannons or Cyclone Missile Launchers, but the classic combination of "Storm Shield" and "Thunder Hammer".

An energy field hummed on their incredibly thick, curved shield surfaces, able to block nearly all frontal firepower.

The giant hammers in their hands, requiring two hands to grip and with lightning crackling around the hammerheads, were symbols of close-quarters destruction.

Extra Shield Generator modules were clearly visible on their shoulder armor, making them seem enveloped in multiple energy shields as they charged.

Following closely were three "Indomitable Terminators", equipped with Twin Assault Cannons or Heavy Flamethrowers, exuding an aura of destruction.

The Cyclone Missile Launchers mounted on their shoulder armor would provide continuous and violent fire support for the Ironclads ahead.

But this was not all.

Accompanied by a deeper engine roar, a massive, heavily armored, ferocious-looking "Redeemer" Lander Raider drove out of the transport vehicle.

The muzzle of its signature twin-mounted "Flame Storm Cannon" was deep and dark, as if brewing hellfire.

This weapon could convert vast amounts of Promethium Fuel into a sweeping torrent of flame, an absolute tool for clearing enclosed spaces and dense biological targets.

The Space Wolves called it the "Flame Dragon".

Cassius himself also donned "Ironclad Terminator Armor" this time.

He stood at the very front of the squad, his white helmet like a lighthouse in the dim light of the Fault Zone.

The Iron Halo behind him slightly distorted light.

He held a larger, heavier master-crafted Thunder Hammer, the arcs leaping on the hammerhead showing an ominous deep blue.

Under his command, this iron torrent plunged into the depths of the Fault Zone without any flourish.

Fierce battle erupted instantly.

The Chicken Thief Bishop's nest defenses were far more stringent and cunning than Lin En imagined.

Large numbers of fourth-generation, and even near-pure-blood Gene-stealer Hybrids surged out from all directions.

They were equipped with crude but effective weapons, using complex terrain and preset traps to launch attacks.

Some mutants seemed temporarily enhanced by psionic power, moving swiftly with hardened carapaces.

But Medusa's Sons' offensive was more brutal and effective.

The Ironclad Terminator Squad, led by Cassius, advanced steadily like an immovable wall of divine punishment.

Every strike of the Thunder Hammer was accompanied by the dull thud of shattering bones, the crisp crack of bursting carapaces, and dazzling lightning raging.

The Storm Shields steadily blocked bone blades, acid, and even low-power energy shots.

The Indomitable Terminators' firepower was like an Iron Hammer, smashing any swarm attempting to flank or gather into pieces.

Explosive rounds and flames washed over every corner of the cave.

The Lander Raider guarded the key passage entrance, its Flame Storm Cannon occasionally letting out a low roar.

What spewed out was not flame, but a nearly liquid, viscous burning tide of Tiberium.

Instantly turning large areas into a white-hot sea of fire, even rocks melted under the high temperature.

However, the presence of the Chicken Thief "Bishop" added a variable to this battle.

Just as Medusa's Sons Squad was about to break through the outer defenses and approach the nest core, a powerful, unsettling Psyker Fluctuation suddenly condensed.

Immediately, a visible, distorted pale purple Psionic Shock, like an invisible giant hammer, slammed out from the depths of the nest!

It did not directly attack the flesh, but targeted the mind and soul, carrying intense fear, chaos, and a tearing sensation.

The accompanying Psyker, an old man with eyes tightly closed who relied on a mechanical life-support device and had earned merit fighting Soul Sucking Worms last time, immediately stepped forward.

He raised his withered hands, attempting to construct a Spirit Energy Barrier to block it.

"Ugh...!"

Two psionic forces slammed into each other!

The old man's entire body shook violently, blood instantly seeping from his seven orifices, and the warrior behind him responsible for protecting him even heard a faint, teeth-grating cracking sound from within his body.

The barrier barely blocked this wave of attack, but it was obviously extremely strained.

One could even smell a faint scorched odor of the Psyker's organs being burned by psionic backlash.

"Suppress it!" Cassius's cold voice came through the Communication Channel, without a ripple.

No further orders were needed.

A weapon on an Indomitable Terminator's shoulder quickly switched, firing no longer explosive rounds.

But specially made "Psychic Strike Missiles" that worked wonders against psionic creatures.

At the same time, the Lander Raider's Flame Storm Cannon adjusted its angle.

A slightly thinner but hotter Tiberium jet, like molten red-hot iron, precisely poured into the general direction from which the Psionic Shock came.

A shrill inhuman shriek came from the depths of the nest, and the condensed Psyker Fluctuation instantly became chaotic and dissipated.

The Chicken Thief Bishop's first and last full-force psionic counterattack was broken in the most "efficient" way.

The cost was that the accompanying Spirit Energy User almost lost combat power, with severe injuries to the organs.

And all of this was witnessed in full by an "invisible" bystander.

On a near-vertical steel building only a few hundred meters in a straight line from the battlefield core.

A hideous giant beast, huge in size, with purple-red carapace and folded membrane wings, clung there like the most patient gecko.

【Thousand Changes Armor】granted her the ability to evade the Son of Medusa's sight.

Electromagnetic Camouflage made her appear as background noise on the Bird Divination Device.

Her body temperature exactly matched the ice-cold rock wall; her movements were soundless, and even vibrations were absorbed by the damping mucus beneath the carapace.

Her pheromones were so faint they almost did not exist, perfectly blending with the dust, smoke, and insectoid body fluid odors permeating the fault line.

Lena, like a ghost from the Abyss, quietly "watched" the collision of steel and flesh below.

The ice-cold data stream in her compound eyes constantly flickered, recording every detail.

The rhythm of the Iron Knight Terminator's charge, the force and range of the Thunder Hammer attacks, and the Storm Shield's parrying of energy attacks.

The speed of the Invincible Terminator's firepower switching, and the range and coverage mode of the Lander Raider's Flame Storm Cannon.

The deep-blue electric arcs dancing on Cassius's special Thunder Hammer.

More importantly, she "saw" the Spirit Energy User's heavy injury.

All this information was transmitted in real time through the system to a certain corner of the Seventh District far away.

Lin En, who was pretending to conduct a "home visit" investigating cultist clues.

Lin En wiped his forehead for nonexistent fine sweat, and inwardly complained wildly:

"This Cassius, surely he isn't really selling his ass to those machine-oil men, right?

Where did all these good things come from! Iron Knight Terminator, Invincible Terminator, Lander Raider...

This setup is enough to fight a small campaign!"

But when he received the message from Lena about the Son of Medusa's accompanying Spirit Energy User suffering heavy injury.

A mixture of relief and determination surged in his heart.

The Spirit Energy User is a key link in dealing with unconventional threats, especially psychic attacks and certain Warp Phenomena.

His heavy injury means that when facing the next sudden psionic shock or interference.

Cassius Squad's defense will have a short-term but real "shortcoming."

Now as long as he guides Cassius's squad to clear out the Nest hiding the "Insectoid Heavy Weapon."

He can begin implementing his own plan.

Lin En looked out the Window at the Nest Capital's eternally dim skyline, where muffled explosion echoes from afar could still be faintly heard.

"Senior Cassius," he murmured softly, his eyes sharp as a Blade.

The stage has been set, the actors are in Starting Position.

Waiting only for the most appropriate moment to draw the final Curtain.
