Starting from the Planetary Governor

Interstellar warriors who weighed several tons with their armor could create a crater when they landed on the ground.

But afterwards, they would come out of the pit unscathed.

At this moment, enemies had already surrounded them.

But what could mere cannon fodder do?

Bullets hit them without leaving even a scratch!

Guided by the lead of Commander Matins, the fifteen interstellar warriors moved methodically toward the artillery position. Along the way, they fired their guns steadily and dispassionately, each bullet claiming the life of one or several enemies.

Five sentry mechs appeared, attempting to resist. They had some resistance to explosive-bullet guns and weren’t so easily killed. But in front of the interstellar warriors, they were like chicks.

If one shot didn’t blow them up, five explosive-bullet guns aimed and fired in an incredibly accurate barrage, emptying five magazines, naturally shredding the sentry mechs.

Among them, Matins was the most ferocious.

Wearing Terminator armor, he could wield a heavy explosive-bullet gun single-handedly, a weapon designed to break through armor.

In contrast, the sentry mechs’ machine guns posed a threat to the interstellar warriors.

But they had to hit their target first.

There was a qualitative difference in shooting accuracy and reaction speed between the two sides.

As soon as the trigger was pulled, before even two rounds could be fired, they were blown up.

In a single encounter, four sentries were gone.

The remaining one, due to its close proximity, wasn’t selected as a target for concentrated fire.

In one or two seconds, it fired many rounds from its machine gun, hitting only a few, but those could only strike the shoulder armor of the advancing interstellar warriors, at most causing their bodies to jerk and leaving small dents in their armor.

The fate of this sentry mech was even more tragic.

Anat, the new blood in the battle group, was at the forefront. With just a few accelerated steps, he reached the sentry mech’s front.

The sentry mechs, compared to the interstellar warriors, were still considerably larger. Even with armor, interstellar warriors were generally only around 2.4 meters tall; Matins in his Terminator stood at 2.7 meters.

The sentry mechs were over three meters tall.

But being larger didn’t necessarily mean stronger combat capabilities.

The sentry mech moved first, its ’Knight Sword’ sweeping towards Anat, but it missed as Anat simply bent down and dodged it.

Then, with an explosive burst of speed from his legs, Anat surprised the sentry mech’s pilot by closing the distance to an extremely close range.

A battle blade, honed through a thousand uses, was thrust precisely into the armor gap of the sentry, severing its power systems instantly.

Anat exerted more force, flipping the mech over, stepping on its chest. He wielded his knife in one hand and grabbed its head with the other. With a concerted effort, he ripped the sentry mech’s head off.

Sentry mechs are not Knight Titans; they don’t have exclusive cockpits, as the pilot is encapsulated inside the mech.

When the mech’s head was pulled off, the pilot’s head came off with it.

Completing this sequence of actions only took Anat three to five seconds.

After sheathing his battle blade and rearming his gun, he hastened forward.

In those three to five seconds, his comrades had already passed him, continuing onward. During this time, no one even glanced in his direction.

Killing a sentry mech simply wasn’t noteworthy.

Anat didn’t think he had done anything remarkable either; he had to hurry to catch up.

But this scene, in the eyes of the nearby Luman soldiers, was utterly terrifying.

Those were five Knight masters!

In their minds, the Knight masters were unbeatable!

If the Knight masters had been killed by heavy artillery or taken out by so-called Alliance soldiers’ rocket launchers and mortars during earlier battles, it would have been understandable. After all, warfare is indiscriminate, and even Knight masters, clad in their armors, could be struck down by targeted attacks and dreadful firepower.

Not to mention, the Alliance troops had those formidable tanks and armored vehicles...

It was natural for Knight masters to fall in battle. And even so, taking down a three-meter-tall sentry mech still wasn’t easy; it often required a rather long fight, and the Alliance Army would also pay a price.

But now, that was a completely different concept. Five knights, standing in front of those red-armored warriors, were almost instantly wiped out in a single encounter!

They were killed as effortlessly as if they were just chickens!

For the conscripted soldiers of the Luman Kingdom, this was a scene that completely shattered their fighting spirit.

And those with slightly broader knowledge, who had heard some stories, finally remembered some legends at this moment.

"These are star warriors! They are Angels!"

The words shouted out uncontrollably caused even more deterioration in the fighting will of those who heard.

And so, this obstructing army just collapsed.

The Phoenixes didn’t even pursue.

They were just some insignificant troops, which they approached with indifference and then destroyed their artillery positions.

Not until the battle ended, and no new troops came to disturb them any more.

This battle was fought with a lack of interest.

The veterans felt it was nothing more than a walk in the park. What was the difference between this and shooting at moving targets in training? Only the sentry mechas were of slight interest, a bit more resistant, but there were too few of them.

As for the new recruits, most also found it uninteresting. It was their first time leaving Rage Owl Star for combat. They were initially a bit tense, but after the battle, they felt...

That’s it?

It wasn’t even as good as fighting the cultists in the North Territory of Rage Owl Star.

At least those cultists were not afraid to die and possessed some psychic spells, which posed a threat, not to mention the subsequent entry into the True Realm, facing the Evil God, and even emerging victorious in the end!

The new recruits couldn’t muster any enthusiasm either.

Even the three ’ripe’ new recruits, who at least had rotated through the Beiqing Valley Province’s border during their training and growth periods without armor, joined the Green Valley Group Army in their constant southward sweeps, exterminating many Aberrant Beasts, thereby gaining some combat experience.

They too felt that the level of the Luman soldiers was far too poor.

After destroying the artillery positions, they turned to find a new target.

Their eyes locked on a Ranger-class Knight Titan that had its shield generator destroyed during the previous battle and now only dared to serve as a long-range rocket launcher from afar.

The two Knight Titans were the biggest threats to the outskirts of the town, even if this one was too scared to advance directly and was content bombarding from a distance with extended-range rockets, which was quite annoying.

It was best to just take it out.

...

Gu Ming and Nes Luman both suspected what the news of the fifteen red-armored giants indicated when they first heard it.

Despite that, they still harbored some faint hope.

How could they truly be star warriors? Why would The Emperor’s Angels appear on such a backwater planet as Heijian Star? Their battles usually caused upheaval across multiple star sectors or were fought on the frontlines against powerful foreign species.

What merit or capability did a minor conflict within the Gu Family on Heijian Star have to attract a group of star warriors?

It’s not like there were true Imperial traitors here!

Besides, even if there were Imperial traitors, unless the treason was significant, it would not provoke the intervention of star warriors!

Therefore, their initial disbelief and hope for luck were understandable.

According to Gu Ming’s self-consolation, there might be a chance that his nephew orchestrated it all, using ordinary iron armor to put on a facade.

But even he didn’t believe that.

And then, reality completely shattered his wishful thinking: within minutes of landing, they decimated a sentry mecha squad and routed a large group of Luman forces, also scattering the Luman Legion’s artillery positions.

Now, those fifteen figures were heading their way, aiming for the Knight Titan near them.

The troops had done their best to intercept, but they just couldn’t hold them back!

The two of them were completely panicked.
