Ryan did not respond.
He stared at the tactical screen in front of him.
The vibrant light of data shone on his face.
Judging from the situations of several confrontations in the past.
This guy Koz must have set up a series of traps in the palace, waiting for me to enter.
Rashly engaging in surface combat would only give opportunities to Coze, who is good at stealth operations and setting traps.
That was how it was in Macragge.
Even though they were in the territory of the Imperial loyalists and had every advantage, both Guilliman and he were almost ambushed by Curze.
Descending onto the surface of the planet Tagusa now is nothing more than a replay of the past.
Today's empire has completed its technological upgrade.
It's time for Coze to understand that times have changed.
"First, we need to eliminate the ground defense firepower at a specific point." Lane pointed to the screen, which showed the enemy's firepower deployment points. "We need to knock out their fangs and their ability to resist."
Although Koz is a traitor, his strategic vision is not to be underestimated.
The defensive firepower deployed was enough to fight against troops several times their number. If his insidious tactics were taken into account, it would probably take a lot of effort and sacrifice to break through the defense.
"The weapon system is ready." The weapons director opened the weapon interfaces one by one. In front of him, a holographic tactical sphere was shining, and the red bombing area was specially marked.
Some dotted lines flickered into shape, depicting the trajectory and final location of the light spear and the missile.
After a final calibration and intelligence confirmation, the weapons director ordered the orbital bombardment.
The clouds of Tapsa were stirred by terrible energy, making a sound like thunder.
The spear of light illuminated the entire dark sky.
Static electricity moves across the sky like a mad scientist's experimental device.
Every anti-aircraft gun was accurately locked.
Along with the soldiers' screams, flames rose up like a tower, and the billowing smoke made the firelight particularly clear.
One after another, the firepower turrets were reduced to ruins by energy spears and high-energy shells.
The city's fangs were pulled out by the empire at the first opportunity.
Stifling any possibility of resistance.
Standing on a palace balcony, Koze gazed at the sky.
Look at the fire in the distance that illuminates half of the city.
There was a trace of astonishment on his face.
This is not the Lions style.
Launching orbital bombing so simply can destroy the enemy's possible counterattack force first.
This is Perturabo's firepower coverage style of play.
He was a little unsure whether the other party was the Lion Ryan or the blacksmith Perturabo.
I thought that my provocation would make the other side choose to conduct an airborne operation.
I didn't expect the other party to be so cautious.
Curze disappeared into the darkness.
Select the ones that look real from countless illusions and extract useful information from them.
After clearing the anti-aircraft firepower, Ryan will choose to use his superior firepower to compress the space where he is hiding and destroy the trap he set.
He had to wait patiently.
Until Ryan comes.
That was when they officially started fighting.
... ... ... .
... ... ... ... ... ... .
Through the optical detection device, Ryan looked at the city illuminated by the fire.
The amber hole reflects the surging data, and extraordinary wisdom pays attention to every piece of information flowing through the screen.
Ryan was fully aware of every bombing.
Their attack trajectories, targets and effects to be achieved.
The Lion keeps a firm grip on these things, making sure no corner is left out.
Wait until there is nothing on the ground that can stop the Imperial air force.
The lion then smiled and gave new orders.
"Release the unmanned detection aircraft and find a way to lock on to the location of Midnight Haunter. Prepare the fighters and launch a wave of bombing as soon as the target is found. Don't get close to the enemy." Ryan said, "Koz is good at stealth operations. We can't give him this opportunity."
The Primarch's ability to survive is so strong that it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Not to mention scum like Koze.
To think that this damn traitor was able to hide on his flagship, the Indomitable Truth, for so long.
And so many things happened during the Second Empire.
If you want to kill Koz, the current situation is really not enough.
"clear."
"clear."
Other departments on the battleship responded to Ryan's orders.
The crew carried out Ryan's orders.
The landing deck was operational.
Along with the hissing sound of the hydraulic device, the huge metal hatch slowly opened under the rapidly flashing red indicator light.
The extreme cold of the void poured into the cabin, condensing the moisture in the air into ice, reflecting the red emergency lights.
The metallic friction sound made by the movement of the giant mechanical arm pushed the heavy fighter planes onto the booster track.
Under orderly command, several fighter squadrons were released.
Their target was Koze who was hiding in the palace.
Fighter planes will bomb Curze's possible hiding places to weaken the Night Haunter's hiding ability in advance.
A large number of unmanned detection devices were released by transport aircraft and scattered over the vast palace complex.
They made a buzzing sound and moved at high speed in the darkness.
Only the most discerning eyes can catch them.
Koz's eyes turned serious when he saw these things in the illusion.
Ryan's difficulty level increased sharply.
He played in a cautious style that was totally inconsistent with his character, which made Koz feel helpless.
The unmanned detection device is only the size of a fist and is spherical in shape, with a built-in miniaturized force field drive and anti-gravity suspension device.
It has high-speed flight and invisible ray radar detection capabilities.
Curze imagined destroying them, but learned from the illusion that these things shared a database and a control center.
In addition to these, the unmanned detection swarm has several safety measures.
Several Imperial commanders connected to the control console remotely controlled the detection spheres.
Any attempt to cheat the program will not escape their eyes.
There was no point in destroying a few of them, and it would only give away his position.
Once the trace is discovered, orbital bombing and fighter strafing will follow.
Any device suspected of being a trap will be destroyed by the pulse light they release.
In front of these little guys, Koz's abilities were suppressed and he could not use them at all, and he could only flee around passively.
Avoid the Imperial artillery fire.
Koz's stealth ability is very good, and his dense detection balls can penetrate every hole, forming a big net.
And Koze is the prey in this big net.
Whether he is caught in the net or touches it, it is equally bad for him.
The Empire did not conduct any landing operations from beginning to end.
Lai En didn't even show up.
This style of play made Coze feel very frustrated, and he also wanted to teach Ryan a lesson.
But in the current situation, it is obvious that they want to exhaust him to death.
Koze wandered around the palace with the help of illusions, trying to avoid the imperial bombing as much as possible.
Wait until the palace is reduced to ruins and engulfed in flames.
After most of the traps he had set were destroyed.
Hiding in the ruins, Koz finally saw the illusion he wanted to see.
Ryan came to Tagusa with the dark angels.
The lion himself came and caught him.
They wanted to put him in a cage like Fulgrim and Perturabo and send him back to Terra.
Koz licked his claws.
There was no fear at all, but rather a faint excitement.
... ... ... .
... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
In the ruins of the palace complex, Ryan's footsteps were unusually loud.
After completing the process of weakening his prey, he chose to capture Curze himself.
His descendants and the Imperial Air Force blocked the entire palace complex and placed unmanned detection spheres at every possible pass.
Koze was like a wild beast cornered, with nowhere to escape.
The Dark Angels are ready.
They will never let their prey escape.
Of course, Koz's ability should not be underestimated.
Ryan knew that if the Midnight Haunter wanted to escape, he would definitely find a way to do it.
This is why he chose to enter the ruins alone.
Ryan wanted to let Coze know that he was coming.
Alone.
Standing on the platform, Ryan looked around the burning palace. Crackling sounds came from the flames in the distance.
The bombing has stopped, but the flames are still raging.
The air was filled with heat and the pungent smell of exploding bombs.
The long sword in his hand was activated, and Ryan gripped the cold hilt tightly. The tactical panel built into the armor drew a three-dimensional image of the palace complex for him.
In his eyes, there was no secret in the entire palace, and he could clearly see every moving object.
Koz might be able to hide and remain silent.
But when he moved, no matter how far away he was, Ryan could detect him immediately through a large number of unmanned detection balls.
The teleportation icon appeared in front of Ryan, and he only needed one command to be sent back to the battleship.
Curze could never win this battle.
Lai En is invincible.
Because from the very beginning, Lai En had never thought about having a fair one-on-one fight with him.
He wanted nothing more than to catch that bastard, beat him up in the face, shove him into a cage, and throw him to Terra to join Perturabo and the others.
Lai En strolled among the ruins. The buildings here were charred and bricks and stones were scattered in many places.
This is where Curze was last seen.
Fighter planes carried out a round of bombing here.
After he destroyed several detection balls, he disappeared again.
Ryan knew he was hiding in this area.
The flames were still burning and crackling in the ruins.
Ryan looked around, his iron boots stepping on the rubble and crushing it into powder.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in the darkness and hit his face.
Ryan saw the current time from the panel of the armor.
It was midnight.
