Chapter 1330 The true strength of the Phantom Legion
"Just do whatever you want, just do whatever you want."
Looking at the serious Titan pilots, Soshyan waved his hand with a smile, then called Amata in front of him, looked at each other carefully for a while, and said with a smile:
"Marshal Amata, how old are you?"
‘Back to your lord, 52.’
"52 years old, so young. To be able to become the commander of the legion at such a young age is incredible."
At this time, Bangura interjected:
"Fifteen years ago, the Forge World encountered a sudden invasion by a hostile heretic Forge World. Without unified command, the enemy's superior forces quickly landed on the planet's surface. The last Legion Marshal was assassinated by the enemy's Rust Stalker.
, It was Marshal Amata who was ordered to do so at the critical moment and led the Phantom Legion to destroy the landing enemy and annihilate an enemy Titan force, thus gaining time for the subspace engine to start."
"So that's it. He is truly a hero."
Soshyan's praise was echoed by everyone, which made Amata feel a little at a loss for a while, but he still kept his straight posture.
"Thanks for the compliment!"
"What is the strength of the Phantom Legion now?"
After hearing this, Amata glanced at Bangura, and after the other party nodded slightly, he answered:
"Back to my lord, the Phantom Legion now has 36 Jackal-class aircraft, 23 Predator-class aircraft, 15 Warbringer-class Punishment-class aircraft, 10 Deathbringer-class aircraft, and 1 Emperor-class aircraft, for a total of 85 aircraft."
As a variant of the Warhound Titan, the Jackal is slightly larger than the common Warhound Titan. It is equipped with a more powerful void shield and weapons that are convenient for fighting enemies at close range, such as inferno cannons or
Vulcan Giant Bolter Cannon.
It can not only perform forward reconnaissance missions, but can also operate in small formations as an independent vanguard. It is good at using well-planned hit-and-run tactics to create chaos in the enemy's flanks.
Moreover, because of the presence of refractive crystals in Ulan Huda's Jackal class, in addition to being reconnaissance and vanguards, they can also become perfect ambushers in battle.
With the help of this alien crystal, Ulan Huda's Jackal-class Titan can achieve complete invisibility in less than 20 seconds while shutting down the main engine and system and almost shutting down the power unit. The enemy cannot reach it.
Their presence is almost impossible to detect with the naked eye on the face.
When the enemy approaches, they can quickly switch from the stopped state to the full speed state in just ten seconds.
Relying on this advantage, the jackals of Ulanhuda can lurk and wait for their prey to approach, and then use powerful weapons at very close range to destroy prey that is much larger than themselves.
The Warbringer Wrath-class Titan is a medium-sized Titan. Its size is between the Reaver-class Titan and the Warlord-class Titan, so it is often assigned to the front lines to fight alongside various types of Titans.
This model is designed to destroy enemies at a distance. Its reinforced frontal armor is enough to easily deal with enemy firepower. The defensive array on its body can also resist attacks from the air very well, but its rear armor is relatively weak.
It is relatively vulnerable to attacks from the flanks by armored formations, so it is not suitable for close combat.
The main weapon of Ulan Huda's War Messenger Heavenly Punishment Class is a volcano cannon mounted on the back, which is powerful enough to turn a solid fortress into a white-hot crater. The arms are equipped with three Gatling blasters.
and the melta cannon.
Because of the existence of refractive crystals, this model is often used mainly for ambush. When the enemy enters the ambush circle, it cooperates with the Jackal class to eliminate the enemy's key targets as soon as possible.
The Deathbringer class is a variant of the Warlord class. Its firepower is similar to that of the Warbringer Heavenly Punishment class, except that it has two volcano cannons, and the weapons on both arms have become twin plasma annihilators, which are destructive at mid-range.
Its lethality is the absolute main force of the Phantom Legion in head-to-head battles. It usually hides on the second line, waiting for the enemy's main force to be completely exposed after the firefight begins, and then removes its disguise to hunt the enemy's large Titans.
"this--"
Hearing the number 85, Soshyan was stunned for a while, and Talos and others were also surprised. They always thought that the 42 Titans they saw before were the Phantom Legion's assets, but they didn't expect that it was only half of them.
The normal establishment of a Titan legion in the expedition era is 200-300 Titans)
Soshyan couldn't help but think to himself, he still underestimated this forging world that had been hidden for thousands of years.
After thinking for a moment, Soshiyang smiled and said:
"Very good. I look forward to your heroic efforts in fighting for the empire and destroying the enemy in the future."
All the Titan pilots immediately replied in unison:
"For the Emperor! For the God of All Machines!"
Soshyan then followed the Titan pilots to the headquarters of the Phantom Legion, which is a huge building complex on the north side of the Titan Foundry: the Phantom Castle.
This extremely large fortress directly hollowed out an entire huge mountain range. Inside it is located the Titan dormancy vault of the Phantom Legion and various key facilities.
On the surrounding plains, there are also a series of spaceports and cities dedicated to serving the Phantom Legion, as well as huge laser arrays and massive defensive weapons. These fixed facilities are also part of the fortress's defense system, making it almost invisible.
May be hit from the front.
The gate of the Phantom Fortress is also the largest gate Soshyan has ever seen, which is enough to allow the huge Emperor Titan to enter, and there are two Marauders standing guard on both sides of the gate at any time as sentries.
Only the Titan Legion is qualified to let Titans guard their gates.
However, Soshyan did not directly observe Titan, because for the Mechanicus, Titan is one of the incarnations of the God of Machines, and it has extraordinary sacredness. Even contact with it by non-Mechanicus personnel is a serious crime.
Although Bangura didn't care about this, Soshiyan still took care of the emotions of the other sages of the Titan Order, so he just looked at the facilities of the fortress and the Titan Academy for a while before leaving.
After visiting the Titan Foundry, Soshyan headed non-stop to the next destination, the Thinker Factory.
After all, that place is close to the Titan Factory. It takes thirty minutes to take the maglev train south into the central area of the Skyline Loop, and the person in charge there has also been waiting for a long time.
"...This is the Venus-class meditation developed three thousand years ago. Compared with the ancient Mars-class and Oak-Wise class, its multi-threaded operation efficiency has been improved by 40%, and its computing and analysis capabilities have been increased.
70%, very suitable for installation on ships and large vehicles.”
While listening to the introduction, Soshyan stared at the complex design in front of him. The marks on it were written in an extremely complicated Gothic font, making it almost impossible to read.
The circuit diagrams and construction diagrams were almost incomprehensible with the numbers, equations and symbols that filled the diagrams, not to mention that Soshyan himself knew nothing about them.
But he also had to show something.
"Well, very good, great design."
The only thing Soshyan could do was to make his tone as sincere as possible.
