Low orbit, emperor's lash, special large hangar, changing room.
At this moment, a female Lieutenant from the Imperial Guard Air Force was changing in the changing room. She took off her pilot's leather jacket and the tight pants on her legs, revealing her body covered in tattoos. Each tattoo was left after a battle, to commemorate her comrades and that war.
As she stripped off all her outer clothing, a new tattoo appeared on her fair wrist: a single line, but with countless fine lines branching out from it.
It was as if: "Her wrist was cut, and blood continuously flowed from the wound."
And the female pilots next to her all had identical tattoos on their wrists. Even the male pilots separated by a wall, the ground crew outside, the name tags on the chests of the Adeptus Mechanicus members, and indeed all personnel of the Imperial Guard, were unified... Because this tattoo was on Li Feng's wrist, they adopted it as a mark of honor for the Imperial Guard under Li Feng, and called it: "Li Feng's Blood."
In the changing room, the female Lieutenant stood before the mirror, carefully examining the new tattoo on her wrist. The lines resembled flowing blood, with fine threads spreading from the main line, like an invisible web connecting her fate with countless other warriors.
This tattoo was not merely decoration, but a symbol, a vow, an imprint.
"Li Feng's Blood..." she murmured the name softly, a complex mix of emotions in her eyes. Pride and sorrow intertwined, memories and anticipation coexisted.
Another female pilot beside her was leaning against a locker, organizing her gear. Noticing the Lieutenant gazing at her wrist, she spoke up:
"Bianca? A new tattoo already? Is it for that Chaos battleship we just shot down?"
The female Lieutenant shook her head, revealing her "Li Feng's Blood" tattoo. She smiled slightly: "No, this is for Lord Li Feng. He is the leader of all of us. This tattoo... is not only a commemoration of comrades, but also a promise to him."
The female pilot nodded, also raising her wrist to reveal the same tattoo. "Yes, every time I see this, I feel like I'm connected to the entire Legion. We share the same human blood, and our wills are united as one."
But... in reality, this was a couple's tattoo for Li Feng and Sanguinius. Li Feng's was on his left wrist, and Sanguinius's was on her right. It did indeed mean a cut wrist and flowing blood, but the symbolic meaning was actually: both of them really enjoyed playing "Bloodborne" and chose a rune from it to tattoo.
Soon they changed into their full-body combat suits, closed the locker doors, and walked out... At this time, countless pilots, wearing uniform clothing and flight jackets, were heading towards the hangar.
They were about to fight alongside Li Feng and, as an experimental combat unit, participate in the war on Cadia's surface, directly confronting the endless Daemon armies.
The inscription on their flight jackets read: "13th MS Squad."
...Hangar,
At this moment, Li Feng and Sanguinius stood in the hangar, dressed in combat suits, looking at the neatly arranged "Gundams," "zakus," "Guntanks," and similar items within the hangar.
Ma Yinglong, meanwhile, was leading the Adeptus Mechanicus personnel in praying over and sprinkling oil on these "God-Machines." For the Oil Men, these were "Titans personally designed by the omnissiah," the "True Titans" from the legendary "Dark Age of Technology."
Sanguinius, on the other hand, looked speechless, because Li Feng was wearing a red combat suit, even Li Feng's "MS-06 S zaku II S Type" was painted red, and Li Feng's face was covered with strange helmets and sunglasses.
Seeing Li Feng's happy expression, Sanguinius also helplessly quipped: "Are you happy now, Char?"
That's right, Sanguinius, as a perfect girlfriend who would buy cars, games, and models for her boyfriend, had paid for all the research and development and manufacturing of these Gundams... Of course, the money came from the Emperor's secret coffers.
Hearing Sanguinius's words, Li Feng also embraced her and then uttered the classic line:
"You could become a woman like my mother!!!"
Hearing this, Sanguinius sighed helplessly... "Enough already, I don't want to become a space ghost."
The atmosphere in the hangar grew increasingly charged, with every pilot ready for action. Countless ground crew members bustled around the combat mechs, preparing for the final sortie.
Li Feng lowered the visor of his cockpit helmet, slightly adjusted the control panel, and the holographic screen in front of him lit up, displaying the zaku's combat data.
He casually pressed a button, and the deep roar of the engine starting rumbled like thunder. The red zaku's optical sensor eyes flickered with a dangerous light, beginning to move left and right, like a bloodthirsty beast about to charge into battle.
Li Feng contacted the pilots through the communication channel; his voice echoed through the loudspeaker across the entire hangar:
"13th MS Squad, all attention. Our mission this time is simple: assault the Chaos Daemons' key defensive line on Cadia's surface and completely destroy their Warp gates! Send these corrupted guys back to the Warp and never let them return!"
The pilots' responses came through the communication channel: "Understood, Lord Li Feng!"
Sanguinius's voice then cut into the channel, with a hint of impatience:
"Remember, don't show off too much, especially a certain guy in a red combat suit."
Li Feng raised the corner of his mouth, responding with a smile: "Red is faster, my dear wife, don't forget, that's common sense."
As the hangar's massive doors slowly opened, dazzling starlight shone in, revealing the dark backdrop of space and the surface of Cadia below, covered by Chaos energy.
"13th MS Squad, prepare for launch!" Ma Yinglong stood to the side, bestowing blessings upon these 'Titans' with Adeptus Mechanicus prayers. Tech-priests sprinkled oil on the armor of the Gundams and zakus.
The red zaku walked onto the launchpad, and Li Feng manipulated the machine to make a small waving gesture. He quipped: "Watch closely, I'll definitely be first."
Soon, Li Feng's zaku stood on the catapult. Li Feng took a deep breath:
"Li Feng! Sortie!"
With a deafening roar, all combat mechs in the hangar launched into space one after another, accompanied by meteor-like contrails, heading straight for Cadia's surface.
On Cadia's surface, smoke filled the air, and armies of Chaos Daemons and Fallen were rampaging, their screams seemingly able to pierce the soul.
On the battlefield, corrupted mechanical monsters and terrifying Daemon Engines ran rampant, and an endless stream of armies was assaulting the Imperial defenses.
However, all of this was completely shattered by the arrival of the Gundams and zakus.
Li Feng, piloting the red zaku, charged into the enemy lines like a whirlwind. The beam axe equipped on his machine's right hand swung out a dazzling hot axe, directly cleaving a massive Chaos Titan in half at the waist.
At this moment, in the Warp, the Chaos Gods / The Four Gods, witnessing this scene, almost spat out their overnight meals. Khorne looked at the "red, horned, three times faster" machine and thought it was something from his own side.
At this moment, the Chaos-corrupted Destroyer-class Battle Titans were struggling to cope with these strange Titans joining the battle. They were already exhausted from dealing with the "terrifying Imperial artillery" and "terrifying Imperial air force," and now there were more of these.
The Titan pilots tried to aim at the Imperial mobile suits, but their speed was something that slow-moving "civilian machines" could not match.
"Are the Imperial Titans all monsters?!"
