Chapter 3353: Embers of the Final Battle (Part 2)
Although the command quickly assigned the task of ground troops to advance and destroy enemy turrets, it was not easy to attack those well-protected turrets in the complex and narrow ruins of the hive city. The terrain limited the number of human troops deployed, weakening the gives the attacker an advantage.
However, their role had already been realized, and in order to protect these automatic turrets, the Necrons had to divert their firepower to infantry and armor.
The Shadow Wolf team used dozens of reconnaissance skulls deployed on the battlefield to determine the location of the enemy's fort and formulate a plan.
"Shadow Wolf Three, you attack the enemy turrets marked No. 3 and 4. After one attack, you will immediately move to this position behind the bunker. Shadow Wolf Two will attack the No. 1 Turret. After the same round of attacks, you will move immediately. I will Provide you with cover, and then focus your fire on Battery No. 2.”
The experienced squad leader plans the attack route based on the deployment position of the enemy's fort, and can use the factors that affect the enemy's firing range to avoid the enemy's counterattack firepower.
"No problem?"
"No problem!"
"Okay, then I will count to 10, Shadow Wolf Three will attack first, 10, 9, 8"
Oliva leaned forward, waiting for the final command.
".3, 2, 1!"
Shadow Wolf One appeared from behind the bunker, and the Vulcan bolter swept into the distance, causing a burst of explosive smoke. Oliva then drove his legs and started running quickly. The vibration caused by the god's machine made many soldiers overwhelmed.
After galloping all the way for ten seconds to reach the predetermined position, Oliva suddenly turned his body sideways, letting Shadow Wolf 3 slide dozens of meters on the ground, dragging out a long trajectory of sparks. The engine was forced to engage the stabilizer and lock. With the help of Jackal, The excellent stability of the model prevented it from falling down - this This kind of speeding and sudden braking behavior is strictly prohibited, because the center of gravity of the Titan is actually very unstable and it is very easy to fall over, but the young pilots of the War Dog class are very happy with this cool "drift" , and regard it as a tactical move.
The next second after he stabilized his center of gravity, the ferocious firepower of the giant bolt cannon and plasma blast cannon erupted from the Titan's arms, hitting two alien turrets in the distance.
One directly turned into a burning ruin, while the other was not destroyed immediately, and even turned around.
"Damn it!"
Oliva cursed and realized that the fire control was affected. If he dodged at this time, he would lose the chance to attack, so he chose to shoot a second time.
The next second, Shadow Wolf 3's void shield burned, emitting an ominous purple halo, which was a precursor to collapse.
At this time, Shadow Wolf 2 also completed its attack. Its plasma burst cannon released a blue-white energy body, and steam burst out from the glowing weapon. The other turning turret was overwhelmed by a lightning strike, killing the surrounding space defenses. The spirit infantry was engulfed in a blinding flash of light.
But Oliva's situation was not good. The enemy's turret was unable to aim, and the bolt cannon's fire only hit the surroundings. The screams of the void shield overload became louder and louder, and warnings filled his vision.
Fortunately, before the void shield collapsed, the plasma blaster's second charge was completed.
"Okay, just this time. Just this time."
Oliva calmed the restless machine spirit and chose to use manual aiming, trying hard to aim the shaking crosshair at the target in the distance that was only about the size of a fingernail - this was already the maximum distance that optical equipment could see, no matter how close it was. It will be disturbed and blurred.
"Go!"
Press the button, and the plasma hits the tiny, shining dot in the distance with the force of a meteor impact. The next second, the structures at the corners of the ruins where the fort was located were torn apart by the ripples of the explosion, and violent plasma clouds surged out from the darkness, sweeping through the surrounding space of a hundred meters and annihilating everything.
With the powerful help of the Phantom Legion, the Empire's counterattack forces finally advanced to a position they had never advanced to before. The Necrons who had previously ravaged the hive faced an army of vengeance with incomparable anger and hatred. Both sides They tried their best to destroy each other, but it was clear that the humans had the upper hand, and Menak's forces tried to retreat.
The huge fortress of New Wasburg is the largest temporary stronghold established by Menak on the planet. The wormhole inside is enough to allow all the troops they deployed on the planet to evacuate, but humans do not intend to give them this opportunity.
With the help of the dug tunnels, the Necromunda spiders suddenly arrived near the Necron fortress. Officers wearing spider exoskeleton armor personally led the charge towards the enemy's fortress.
Like a tide of iron and fire, they flooded the outer walls of the fortress area, overturned the Necron warriors blocking the way, and trampled the broken scarabs into the ground.
In response, the Necron Citadel's curved array of sentry towers turned towards Necromunda's spider legions, streaks of energy clearly visible flashing around the strange Necron armament, dark green energy beams screaming. Wiping vast swathes of troops from reality like scythes harvesting crops, Tesla Cannons erupted with terrifying barrages of lightning that reduced everything they touched to gleaming ash.
Thousands of soldiers fell at the first encounter, but Necromunda's tough soldiers did not hesitate and continued to charge.
Because they are not alone.
In the other direction, tens of thousands of troops poured out from the Ministry of Justice fortress and arrived at the fortress area. Under the command of Sablin, although they only had light weapons left, they still tried their best to get close to the enemy's fortress.
At this time, most of Menak's troops were resisting the human advance at the front, and its wormholes were constantly transferring troops to ships. The defenders were not increasing but decreasing.
Faced with this situation, General Dai Guan, who was in charge of the situation, decided to recall some of the troops on the front line.

But it was too late, the enemy had already approached the fortress, gathering around the protective wall like ants, using melta bombs to blast holes one after another.
The decision to withdraw the forward troops led to disastrous consequences
Woo——
Amidst the harsh metal roar, the huge divine machine stepped into the ruined hive. It seemed like a vengeful knight with its flag flying.
This is a warrior-class machine with the logo of the Phantom Legion hanging on it. When it stands in front of the huge alien fortress, it brings a signal of destruction.
A few seconds later, the weapon on its arm erupted. Strong light and roar shook the entire ruins. The main spire of the fortress instantly exploded with a bright light like a small sun. Large pieces of the black stone surface were torn off, and a weird howl was heard. It was transmitted across this battlefield, and it was very clear even amidst the roar of artillery fire.
".The enemy retreated."
Looking at the Necron fleet moving away, Soshyan said softly, with endless fatigue and heaviness.
"Sir! A ship is asking whether to pursue?"
Soshyan shook his head.
"No need."
Then he lowered his head and looked at the image signal from the ground command headquarters that he finally contacted. Among the ruins of the ruined hive city, there was a large collapsed black stone building. Imperial soldiers stood on the ruins, hugging and cheering, and moved each one one by one. Metal skulls were thrown into the sky, surrounded by massive Titans.
"At least it counts as a win."
