With the support of the Titan Legion and the reinforcement of 300,000 Astra Militarum, Alex naturally decided to launch a new offensive.
It was like a sword that had become dull from cutting; after being sharpened, it could continue to cut.
Having received sufficient reinforcements and personnel replenishment, the Expeditionary Force had now recovered its combat capability, and Alex naturally could not let them continue to defend.
This attack naturally centered on the Titan Legion as the absolute core of the offense; their firepower and armor were sufficient to destroy any sturdy defense.
The task of the infantry and armored units was to coordinate with the Titans' advance, ensuring they could smoothly break through enemy lines.
Even the entire battle plan revolved around the Titans—from the selection of the main attack direction to the allocation of supporting fire, everything aimed to maximize the Titans' battlefield influence.
Perhaps for those unfamiliar with the Titan Legion's combat style, it might seem strange.
After all, three Warhound-class Titans and six Warhound-class Titans, this number was not particularly large.
Compared to the hundreds of thousands of Astra Militarum, millions of Holy War Army on the battlefield, and dozens of Void warships waiting in orbit, these mere nine Titans seemed insignificant.
But in fact, the Titan Legion was indeed the absolute main force of this offensive.
The reason was simple—Titans possessed defensive power and destructive firepower far exceeding conventional troops.
Their Void Shields could withstand heavy enemy artillery bombardment, while their weapon arrays could easily tear apart the most fortified strongholds.
On the battlefield, they were like an indestructible hammer, capable of directly smashing the enemy's meticulously constructed defense lines and opening paths for subsequent units.
This was similar to tanks during World War I; facing trench lines that previously required sacrificing hundreds of thousands of infantry to break through, deploying tanks could roll over barbed wire and cross trenches with minimal cost, completely changing the battlefield situation.
Although tanks at that time were clumsy and slow, they rendered the entrenched infantry helpless, completely overturning traditional warfare models.
In this era, Titans were such an existence—they were not just war machines, but decisive forces that broke stalemates.
When conventional troops were unable to advance under enemy fire, Titans could tear open defense lines with overwhelming force, creating breakthroughs for subsequent units.
Their appearance often instantly turned the tide of battle, causing seemingly stalemated battlefield situations to change dramatically in a short period.
Although there were tanks in this era, unshielded super-heavy tanks had a precarious survival rate on battlefields of this caliber.
Under the threat of enemy heavy artillery and anti-armor fire, even the thickest armor appeared fragile.
In contrast, Titans with Void Shields could withstand more firepower, opening a path for the offensive.
These energy shields could deflect or absorb most attacks, allowing Titans to advance steadily through a hail of bullets, becoming truly impenetrable mobile fortresses on the battlefield.
Especially when Titans were deployed, it was never as simple as just a few Titans fighting alone.
These sacred war machines were always surrounded by a large and well-trained escort force, forming a complete combat system.
Numerous Titan Guard units would follow these colossal God-Machines, constantly scanning the battlefield with vigilance.
Their primary task was to prevent powerful single combat units from rushing into the Void Shield with a death wish, then disassembling the Titan with their bare hands—a seemingly absurd yet real threat.
At the same time, these Titan Guard units, specially trained and armed by the Adeptus Mechanicus, would also undertake tasks in coordination with the Titans.
They were not only responsible for vigilance but would also actively clear enemy forces in the Titans' blind spots, mark important targets, and even guide the Titans' destructive firepower.
In addition, the Adeptus Mechanicus's vassal knights would also drive their knight titans, flexibly maneuvering around the Titans like light cavalry from the medieval era.
These relatively smaller knight titans units would weave through the battlefield under the Titans' protection, providing close-range cover for the God-Machines.
And under the cover of the Titans' Void Shields, these knight titans units could also receive better protection, allowing them to more effectively utilize their mobility advantage.
It was less about a few Titans fighting and more about an entire combat cluster fighting.
This cluster, centered on the Titans, was composed of the Titan Guard and knight titans, forming a complete offensive and defensive combat system.
It was this strict coordination that made the Titan Legion the most feared presence on the battlefield.
And when the Titan Legion launched an attack, even the Necrons' Doomsday Monolith could hardly withstand its might.
Alex, wearing the gift from Cawl, personally stood on the front line with his Thunder Hammer, watching the Titan Legion launch its attack.
(Warlord-Class Titan, the shadowy part in the image is sold separately: head £83, two cannons on the back £150, two weapons on the hands £110 each, the entire body £1233. The total cost is approximately £1700, or about 20,000 RMB.)
The colossal God-Machines advanced slowly, each heavy mechanical footstep causing the ground to tremble.
The dense particle beams and Gauss rays from the Necrons poured down like a storm, but these deadly attacks only splashed against the Titans' Void Shields, creating ripples of blue energy, yet always failing to penetrate these seemingly thin shields.
A hint of confusion flickered in the cold mechanical eyes of the Necron Warriors; their proud advanced weapons were proving largely ineffective against these ancient human creations.
Under the perfect coordination of the Titan Legion, the main weapon of a Warlord-Class Titan began to charge, the hum of the plasma destructors making the air tremble.
As a dazzling blue-white beam of light streaked across the battlefield, the distant, towering Doomsday Monolith was instantly pierced through; the ancient Necron structure disintegrated in the violent energy impact, scattering into countless burning fragments.
The entire process was clean and effortless, like cutting butter with a hot knife.
Before the Titan Legion arrived, knocking out a Doomsday Monolith often required the Expeditionary Force to pay a heavy price.
Aside from the risky method of calling for orbital bombardment, which could accidentally hit friendly forces, conventional troops had to organize suicide squads, advancing under heavy fire, often sacrificing several companies of elite soldiers to destroy such a Necron war machine.
Now, the power of the Titan God-Machines was undeniably evident; these walking temples of war proved to everyone in the most direct way: in the face of true God-Machines, even the Necrons' proud war constructs were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.
