Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 1224 - 664, Foolish Act

Chapter 1224: Chapter 664, Foolish Act

Since the Western Front Army had assistance from Mars at its inception, it also has Titans.

However, the number of Titans is not many, as Salius mentioned, including the Knight Mechas and Titans, there are only about fifty in total.

To be fair, this number is already considerable.

Since the Holy Terra Government has sought my assistance, I’ll give them some leeway. Dozens of Titans and Knights—what more do you want?

Generally speaking, even in the harshest and most challenging battlefield, deploying dozens of Titans on the ground should resolve the situation, right?

Cannot resolve it?

Then figure it out yourselves.

Honestly, Salius is somewhat dissatisfied with this situation. Everyone knows that there’s an Alfonso Sect backing the Iron Armor behind the scenes, which is a powerful order with three Founding Worlds! Just giving me these fifty is pointless!

However, even if he is dissatisfied, there’s no other solution.

He doesn’t have any connections to influence the big wigs on Mars.

This is how it must be.

If we do happen to face a large army of Iron Armor Titans, then… we’ll see when the time comes.

He’s not entirely without options.

It’s unwise to pit Interstellar Warriors against Titans head-on; it’s wasteful. But if it comes down to a critical moment in the battle, being a fool is inevitable.

Forced by circumstances, what can be done?

But right now…

“Wait… what is that?”

After his reflection, Salius frowned again.

What he said was not a question; he saw it clearly. He asked just as a passing comment.

Following his direction, Barnes Sage adjusted his optical lenses and looked over.

A gray-black torrent gathered behind the enemy Titans, rushing to the battlefield.

These are countless Ironclad Interstellar Soldiers!

“Hold on, hold on…” Barnes muttered, “Stay calm and see how the situation develops.”

Salius didn’t reply, just clenched his fist and watched.

Before these Ironclad Interstellar Warriors arrived, the Alliance’s Titans had already gained an advantage on the battlefield.

As the steel giants fought brutally, Titans from both sides were continuously falling. Overall, more Titans from the Ironclad side were destroyed as they were initially fewer in number.

If the battle continues like this, the rare confrontation between Titan giants will end in a victory for the Empire side.

It was unexpected that the commander of the Iron Armor would be so desperate.

As mentioned earlier, although Interstellar Warriors are strong, facing Titans and Knight Mechas directly puts them at a disadvantage, with low chances of winning.

Seeing these Interstellar Warriors rushing in, the Titans began firing to intercept and attempt to eliminate them.

These Iron Armor Interstellar Soldiers didn’t ride on vehicles, tanks, or aircraft. Despite the Iron Armor Battle Group not lacking these, there’s a reason for not using them.

The firepower of a tank or an Interstellar Warrior aircraft poses minimal threat to Titans; if loaded with more Interstellar Warriors, a single hit could cause more casualties.

Currently, the Interstellar Warriors charge in scattered formations, sometimes missing people with blasts due to their small targets, and their quick and agile movements.

Of course, if they’re hit… even a Terminator with an energy shield faces death. Terminators are limited in size, so the shield generator is small, capable of blocking equal firepower but definitely not the Titan Cannon.

During the charge, Ironclad Interstellar Soldiers faced one-sided slaughter.

But so what?

Standing on high ground, watching from afar, Salius could see countless Ironclad Interstellar Warriors emerging from the smoke!

Too many!

The number of Iron Armor soldiers eliminated during the charge isn’t small, certainly amounting to several hundred.

In normal circumstances, precious Interstellar Warriors dying in frontal charges, losing hundreds on the road? It’s unimaginable! An entire Battle Group would be wiped out!

This is why using Interstellar Warriors against Titans is foolish.

Where are there so many Interstellar Warriors to waste on the battlefield?

Yet Iron Armor did just that.

And it proved effective.

When Interstellar Warriors get close, the Titans and Knight Mechas find these ’small entities’ challenging to handle.

They often slip inside the energy shield and Void Shield, and then the Titans’ and Knights’ heavy, powerful melee weapons are difficult to hit them.

There are indeed some guard troops accompanying the Titans.

But regardless of whether infantry or Sentinel Mechas, what can they do to Interstellar Warriors?

Conversely, Interstellar Warriors became deadly.

The Infected Soldiers from Iron Armor easily cleared the guards around the Titans. Afterward, their methods for dealing with Titans and Knight Mechas were diverse.

For the comparatively smaller and lightly armored Knight Mechas, they climbed like agile monkeys and attached Thermite Bombs to critical parts, detonating them for destruction.

Faced with large, heavily armored Titans, simply attaching Thermite for destruction is difficult. However, Titans have their weaknesses; coordination among multiple operators becomes a problem, disadvantaging them against agile Interstellar Warriors.

Additionally, the operational space door can be forcibly blown open.

When that door is breached, Interstellar Warriors inside the Titan—how could a dozen operators armed with sidearms resist?

With operators dead, the Titan naturally ceases to function.

Not to mention post-battle recovery; the Interstellar Warrior might plant a bomb inside the control room.

Even if not blown up, this War Machine is out of service for this battle.

In a short time, a dozen War Machines have been destroyed.

Although the Interstellar Warriors also paid a significant price, it seems that without further intervention, Ironclad might, with one or two thousand Interstellar Warriors sacrificed, completely annihilate the Alliance National Knights’ Regiment here!

This is absolutely unacceptable!

“We can’t wait any longer!” Salius ignored the advisors beside him, turned, picked up his helmet, and hurried away.

Earlier, he had already called loyal Interstellar Warriors to gather here, but it seemed he couldn’t wait for more reinforcements.

Moments later, the Qilin Fighter he was aboard reached the battlefield.

The anti-aircraft fire from Iron Armor shot down many Qilin Fighters.

Whether Titans, Knights, or those walking Iron Armor Soldiers, they all had anti-aircraft weapons.

Shooting down a Qilin meant losing the Interstellar Warriors aboard too.

But just as Iron Armor endured losses, Otaubis’s warriors could too.

Many Qilin Fighters remained intact, maintaining speed, lowering altitude to ten meters, opening the hatch. One by one, copper-colored Interstellar Warriors leaped out, landing, rolling for cushioning, and immediately engaging the Iron Armor Warriors.

Among them, the most notable was Salius himself.

Wearing a champion’s crown, wielding two Holy Artifacts—a round Holy Shield and a historically charged spear—he began his slaughter!
