Chapter 245 The Flames of War Reignite in Augustegrad

“They should be buried under the land of the Khar Palace, as funerary objects of the old era.”

"Yet they are still fighting for a dead tyrant less than ten kilometers away from us."

"Even though the other soldiers who defended Khar all died in the insect swarm, Arcturus still had many cannon fodder."

The current commander of the Terran Empire's Royal Guard commented on the already deployed Old Empire Royal Guard.

Countless airdrop pods rained down from the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.

These drop pods were filled with stormtroopers from the old empire era, dressed in rudimentary armor and armed with weapons barely capable of causing any damage to the power armor of marines, yet they charged headlong into the Khar Empire's garrison without hesitation.

These stormtroopers appeared so small high in the sky, but their determination was unwavering.

They launched this suicidal airdrop operation in a near-desperate manner.

At the same time, a large number of warplanes from the old Imperial Royal Guard, under the cover of warships, broke through the defenses of the Khar Homeland fleet like fierce eagles.

They brought with them a large number of transport planes, swarming into Khar's atmosphere like locusts.

The target of these fighter jets and transport planes was very clear—Khar Palace.

That place is the heart of the Khar Empire and a symbol of power for the Emperor of the Terran Empire.

Faced with the overwhelming attacks of the stormtroopers, even the Khar defense forces, equipped with a large number of heavy weapons, began to feel increasingly overwhelmed.

These stormtroopers were fearless in the face of death; they fought with their lives on the line, putting immense pressure on Khar's defenses.

Arcturus never considered these stormtroopers as real soldiers; in his eyes, they were nothing more than expendable resources to boost morale.

However, it was these stormtroopers, used as expendable resources, who opened up a safe landing point for the old Imperial Guard.

Augustegrad, a city that has just completed reconstruction and suffered severe damage in the past, now faces destruction once again.

The sounds of gunfire echoed throughout the city, deafening, as if they were the city's painful cries.

With astonishing speed and efficiency, the old imperial guard tore several huge gaps in the defense lines, as if those lines were made of paper and were utterly vulnerable to them.

Immediately afterwards, they ordered the brainwashed and fanatical stormtroopers to launch a fierce attack.

"Whatever the cost!"

"The royal army is here!"

Accompanied by shouts, the assault team surged towards the defenses of the Khar defense forces like a tidal wave.

Although their weapons could hardly cause any real damage to the strong fortifications of the Khar defense forces, they did not back down and pressed forward.

Normally, the morale of any army would be severely affected by such a sustained, suicide-style attack.

However, the Korhal Defense Force is not an ordinary army. They are all elite soldiers who were previously withdrawn from the front lines of the Zerg Swarm. Having experienced countless brutal battles, they have long since developed an iron will and fearless courage.

Faced with the stormtroopers' frenzied attack, the soldiers of the Khar Defense Force remained remarkably calm.

They methodically operated various advanced weapon systems, taking down the assault team members one by one.

To them, the attacks by these stormtroopers were like a simple target practice exercise, posing no threat whatsoever.

The commander of the Khar Defense Force knew very well that these stormtroopers were nothing more than expendable supplies of the old empire; the real threat came from the enemy's well-equipped and powerful Royal Guard.

Although their own equipment was quite good, it still paled in comparison to the Royal Guard, which the old empire had spared no expense in investing in.

The old imperial guards, like a surging tide, launched another fierce attack on the Khar defense forces.

They advanced with unstoppable momentum, easily tearing open several huge gaps in the defenses hastily deployed by the Khar defense forces.

The assault team charged forward like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, and began to advance the battle line frantically.

Their numbers are staggering, almost comparable to a swarm of insects.

Faced with such a massive number, the numerous fortifications of the Khar Defense Force appeared isolated and helpless, like islands submerged by the sea.

However, just as the Khar Defense Forces were feeling hopeless, a firm and powerful voice suddenly rang out in the command channel: "I am Valerian! I will fight alongside you with the Imperial Guard!"

This voice was like a ray of dawn in the darkness, instantly igniting the flame of hope in the hearts of the soldiers of the Khar Defense Force.

They stared wide-eyed at the battlefield, eagerly awaiting Valerian's arrival.

Finally, where the two sides' gazes met, a massive Hercules transport ship, like a mobile fortress, slowly sailed into the battlefield.

A massive war machine hung below it, and as the machine lit up, it fell straight to the ground like a giant beast that had been awakened.

The war machine shattered the ground, raising clouds of dust that blotted out the sky.

That was Zeus, the steel behemoth that symbolized the theory of the New Terran Empire and the future of humanity.

Its body is tall and imposing, gleaming with a metallic sheen, as if it had stepped out of a science fiction movie.

The flags constructed from virtual light curtains fluttered in the wind on it, the white and red main colors complementing the blue light curtain, giving it a strong sense of science fiction.

Behind Valerian, the war machine of the Imperial Royal Guard marches into battle.

These war machines are futuristic and their appearance is completely out of place with the original Terran Empire forces; they seem like steel behemoths that have traveled from the future.

The addition of this steel torrent has given the Khar defense forces a strong boost.

The soldiers' morale soared instantly, their previously exhausted bodies now brimming with strength, for they knew that their emperor was among Zeus, fighting alongside them.

The Imperial Royal Guard acted swiftly, plugging the breach opened by the old Imperial Royal Guard, and a large number of assault troops were mercilessly destroyed by their artillery fire.

At the same time, a large number of Khal Drogo fortresses were deployed at various key nodes.

These advanced versions of the Thor mechs are much larger and more powerful than the ordinary Thor mechs. They have thick armor, fierce firepower, and unique defensive modes, making them the absolute main force on the battlefield.

In the rear, several massive Kraken prototypes deployed, entering siege mode.

These enormous machines are like mobile fortresses, with astonishingly large and thick cannons.

The siege tank drivers nearby were filled with envy for the large-caliber cannon barrel, and they couldn't wait to experience the power of this formidable weapon firsthand.

Near the Khar Fortress-class heavy mech, a large number of Aurora-type Hurricane tanks were also quickly deployed.

The two laser cannons on these vehicles flashed with dazzling light. Like hunters, they silently waited for the enemy to arrive. Once they spotted a target, they would fire a deadly laser beam without hesitation, instantly annihilating the enemy.
