According to the plan, there will be a lot of chaos in the city next, and the legal officers are trained and equipped with heavy weapons. If given the chance, they are also a troublesome obstacle.
So sniper fire will keep law enforcement officers pinned down in their fortresses, and over time, perhaps the Department of Justice will find some way to counter that firepower.
By then, however, their great master should have achieved their purpose.
Watching the lawman pace the parapet, the killer's finger rested lightly on the trigger of his rifle, the weapon moving ever so slightly as he kept track of his chosen target.
Everything will come soon——
Not long after Arash left for the Plenty Galaxy, a huge fleet appeared at the edge of the Kirab Galaxy.
With the interference of subspace power, the detection system of the galaxy did not detect the enemy invasion at all. Only when the Red Pirate fleet arrived in the orbit of the Drad star and conducted a round of bombing did people realize that the enemy was coming.
At this time, Aining has also reached the edge of destruction. The screams of humans are intertwined with the gibberish of demons and the thunder of weapons. Due to the subspace influence of the opening of the Chaos Gate, there are many people who have no legitimate rights in the material world.
Creatures of status provide passage, and rapidly expanding clouds over the city periodically rain blood on the death-strewn streets.
But as a world with more than three million Astra Militarum deployed, the local administrators reacted quickly and activated the planet's ground defense system, intending to drag in reinforcements.
But they didn't know that the enemy's infiltration had started months ago.
The shield was not opened normally, and most of the city's defense facilities were in a paralyzed state. In Aining's Mechanical Temple, the Technology Bishop was angry at the busy priests around him. He demanded to immediately find out what happened and solve it immediately.
.
And just when the Technology Bishop was furious, he didn't notice that a priest took a look and activated something under his robe——
That's a teleport beacon.
But when a strong white flash came on, no one realized what was happening.
At first, some people thought it was a relay that exploded, but when a strange shape appeared in the hall, everyone realized something was wrong.
The vague outlines seemed more real than the holographic projections playing around them, and with every passing second, the shapes became more unique and more solid.
They were huge, terrifying figures, twice as tall as the average man, and very broad.
And while their outlines are humanoid, they look more like machines than humans, hulking beasts made of metal and pistons.
In just a few seconds, the appearing figures began to move. They were blood red, dotted with patches of black and brown. Behind them were towering trophy racks with some skulls and helmets strung on them, until one of the giants moved his arm.
, everyone reacted when he raised a terrifying rotating automatic cannon.
This is the finisher for the Red Pirates!
Some people shouted in fear, some turned and ran away, and some tried to resist with guns.
Whatever their reaction, their fate was sealed as Heretic Space Marines clad in heavy Terminator armor opened fire on the Tech-Priests in the Temple of the Machine, assault cannons tearing through the screaming crowd and blasting their bodies apart.
Like rotten fruit.
Within ten seconds, the gorgeous hall turned into a slaughterhouse.
Ten minutes after the massacre at the Mechanical Temple, police sirens rang through Aining, and smoke rose into the sky in every neighborhood, turning the purple twilight into black.
The fire extinguisher servitors controlled the fire trucks to drive onto the streets and race through the streets in the evening. They forgot about any worries other than reaching the disaster-stricken areas of the city.
But they could not solve the real crisis. In the roar, the explosion engulfed the defensive forts, and five huge fortresses were turned into ruins by melta bombs in the blink of an eye.
Then more explosions swept through the city, the lights went out, and a vicious darkness spread across the capital. The pillar of fire rising from the center of the city became the only monument to the central power plant of Eyning. Several Tech-Priests were needed at the secondary substation.
Hours can be spent on backing up the plant's batteries to redirect the city's energy needs.
But to do this, they needed authorization from their superiors, but the Mechanicus Temple had been silent for several hours.
The destruction of the communications hub, a tower of reinforced concrete and composite armor, made the early explosions seem tame by comparison, with plastic windows cracking amid clouds of toxic smoke in the distance, heralding the silence of a planet.
A skyscraper filled with satellite relays and frequency transmitters, with its highest room five hundred meters above the ground, dedicated to the psychic enhancement of planetary astrological transmissions.
Almost all planetary governors ask for control of planetary communications, as this makes it easier to check every message for signs of incitement and dissatisfaction, but this comes with certain consequences.
Now, the giant tower has collapsed, destroyed by the timed explosions of seven melta bombs buried in the basement.
With the destruction of the hub, every large communication link on Drad was silenced. It would also take several hours to activate the backup communication device, and during this process, only regional communication could be used.
The only exception is the stationed Astra Militarum, which has independent military-grade communications equipment and is therefore the only organization on the planet that can barely keep global communications open.
There are 1.3 million PDFs and 400,000 Astra Militarum troops stationed in Ayning City. Although the communication liaison remains silent and no one can be contacted on the central command channel, the soldiers of the Planetary Defense Force are not idle.
Quickly joining the command chain of the Astra Militarum, the laser guns and bulletproof armor shipped from the warehouse were quickly distributed to various formations.
Even some civilians began to arm themselves. After Arash took office as the commander of the theater, he began to require each planet to conduct regular military exercises and urban attack drills, which played an extremely critical role.
At the same time, there are not only infantry in the city, but also three armored regiments of the Astra Militarum stationed there, and these have become the primary targets of the attackers.
Using beacons planted by spies and assassins, more Terminators were beamed down from orbiting battleships and delivered to their targets with pinpoint precision.
At this time, the tank crews were urgently activating their armor.
The spiked metal beasts opened fire on the tank crews, ripping their bodies to shreds with their assault cannons, and targeting the tanks themselves via box-like weapon systems strapped to their shoulders.
Most of the Leman Russ tanks remained parked in the garage as armor-piercing missiles screamed upward from the Tornado missile launchers.
The warhead then slammed into the tank, the reinforced armor plating wrinkled like tinfoil, and the sharp warhead penetrated deeply into the tank's hull before detonating. The effect was like igniting a plasma grenade in a metal can.
The tank was exploded from the inside like a firework.
