Chapter 13 Terminator
The tremors of the world engine are intensifying. Soshyan has no way of knowing what this means, but he has a very bad feeling.
And the bad thing is, his feelings tend not to stray too far from reality.
Along the way, Soshiyang noticed the blood stains on the ground. It was obvious that there had been a battle in this passage not long ago, but what was very strange was that there were no corpses or wreckage on the ground, whether they were aliens or battle brothers. of.
After leaving the passage, Soshiyang led the team to follow the traces of blood drops to the left, passed several majestic gates, and walked to the upper level through a spiral staircase.
At this time, a slight moan was keenly captured by Sosh Yang. He could tell that it was a human voice and it was full of pain.
Driven by a terrible expectation, Sosh Yang suddenly sped up and ran.
“There’s a situation!”
Flying through another corridor, this time his rush brought him to a terrace, and below was a corridor with several passages intersecting together. In the vast space, one after another explosions are destroying those neat spaces.
At the far end of the terrace is an archway. A red figure lies on the ground, and next to him is a mechanical undead with clawed hands peeling off his skin.
The anger in his heart was instantly ignited, and Soshiyang rushed forward to attack, hoping to hit the target first before he realized the danger.
But some kind of sixth sense alerted the fallen alien. It turned around sharply, and its giant blood-stained claws just happened to lock with Sosh Yang's weapon, hitting out several sparks and a burst of energy. The sound of metal rubbing against metal.
This time the block forced Sosh Yang to take a step back, but he pounced again and swung the spinning and whistling chain sword towards the opponent's abdomen.
The ferocious and swift attack penetrated directly through the opponent's body. It was not until he raised the weapon again to strike again that he could see his opponent's face clearly.
That is a piece of bloody dough.
"Scum!"
The furious Soshi Yang directly twisted off the opponent's head, and then trampled it to pieces. The other four members of the team quickly surrounded him, trying to save the battle brothers on the ground.
But when Axel shook his head slightly, the opponent's lifeline was declared broken. Soshyang could tell through the opponent's broken epaulettes that he was a veteran of the Second Company.
This also shows that they are getting closer to the Chapter Leader.
While they were mourning a moment of silence for the veterans who died in battle, a large number of enemies appeared at the arch. Sosh Yang looked around and found that only the path ahead was feasible.
Then, there is only one tactic left.
“Fire!”
With a roar, the nearest undead fell down and exploded into pieces under the hail of explosive bombs.
Four warriors were spread out on both sides of Sosh Yang to ensure the maximum width of firepower. Although they were few in number, because the passage was not wide, there were not many enemies to face.
Ammunition, however, soon became their new problem.
Before they knew it, they had been fighting for several hours, and the ammunition they had prepared had long been exhausted. Soon they could only use melee weapons.
“Save ammunition and move forward!”
In order to be able to cope with the coming battle, Soshyan planned to use assault tactics, and his voice immediately rang in the team channel.
According to his observations, the leader of the forward Necron team is nearby. If identified by size, it is about a hundred meters ahead. A mechanical leader with a humanoid upper body and a spider-like lower body.
While Soshyan was reloading, he was interrupted by some kind of icy low cry, the alien leader was leading the charge towards the Space Marines.
Although these mechanical undead are supposed to be soulless and blasphemous creations, Sosh Yang seems to be able to feel something close to emotion from the alien leader. These high-level mechanical undead seem to be able to maintain their biological attributes. side.
At least there is one thing it can't help but - a challenge to authority.
"Maintain the battle line."
Soshi Yang's voice rang across the channel, and then the gap between him and the undead leader was filled with bullets again.
In an instant, the air was filled with dry dust and sizzling metal. The three soldiers in the team were all slightly injured in the crossfire. With complete exposure, it was impossible for them to maintain their strength. Their small front lasted for more than a few minutes.
Sosh Yang judged that they must move in time.
During this process, the alien leader came to Sosh Yang under a hail of bullets, brandished a huge metal sickle to challenge, and swung it straight towards his throat.
"Back off." Soshiyang made a calm judgment and made room for the enemy leader.
He kept shooting, beating the undead soldiers following the leader into rubbish, switching from one target to the next with skill and ease.
The remaining warriors held the line, pouring ammunition into the growing swarm of machines like an unquenchable frenzy.
Only Sosh Yang retreated.
Only the alien leader followed into the team's encirclement.
"Gather the fire!".
The alien leader focused all his attention on him. His huge scythe drew ravines on the black ground, and he seemed determined not to stop until he was killed.
The other four people pointed their guns at it at the same time and started shooting wildly.
The plan was good, but Soshyan ignored the opponent's determination and tenacity, and also overestimated their firepower.
Axel's gun was the first to go off, and with an ominous clicking sound, his angry voice sounded on the channel.
“Out of ammunition!”
Soshiyang had no time to deal with this problem at this moment, because he almost retreated to the edge of the platform under the fierce pursuit of the opponent, with nowhere to go.
Then a thunderbolt struck and saved his life.
It came from a strong discharge energy collision, and then hit the terrace, making the ground tremble violently.
Thanks to Soshyan's automatic stabilizers he remained upright.
A behemoth fell to the ground and raised a cloud of dust and dry dust. The alien leader disappeared into the dust and turned into scattered metal fragments under the attack of the empire's weapons.
When the dust finally stopped, the leader of the Terminator team, Forlo, stood in front of Soshyan. A Thunderhawk roared past in the sky, shooting at the undead below.
Forlo jumped directly from the Thunder Eagle.
As he lowered his head and began to examine Soshyan, the servos of his Terminator Armor, also known as the Tactical Dreadnought, were whirring and grinding - the Empire's most valuable item. Soldier armor can turn a space warrior into an indestructible siege beast on the battlefield.
Terminator armor was once mass-produced during the Great Crusade, but due to the loss of knowledge after the Horus Heresy, this powerful armor became available to only a handful of Forge Worlds.
For most Chapters, any Terminator armor is a precious asset. Usually only the veterans with the longest service time are qualified to control Terminator armor, and they only obey the orders of the combat team. Direct orders from the regimental commander.
Fullo raised his giant metal foot and stepped on the abnormal head of the alien leader, causing a burst of sparks to fly. His fists were surrounded by electricity. The terrifying blow just now came from these fists. .
"Brothers."
Follo looked at Soshyan even though he spoke in the communication channel.
"It is your turn now, in the name of the Emperor, to attack."
With a scream, an assault team appeared from a nearby height, their jump packs swaying in flames Burning, the bolt pistols fired wildly downwards, tearing the slow Necrons into pieces.
And the Thunderhawk, Soshyan, was glad that it was able to escape the destruction of the Storm, and quickly turned back, spraying deadly metal at the undead queue.
Soshyan glanced at Forlo, then reloaded and returned to his team's formation.
The situation has changed.
Terminator precision strikes shattered the Necron command structure, and suddenly the Necron soldiers were caught in a dilemma, torn between their desire to continue attacking their previous enemies or turning back to face new threats.
Forlo obviously had no intention of giving them time to make a decision.
He raised his right fist, and even though the sound weakened, it easily covered the sound of the massacre.
The roar of the chainsword signals that Soshyan's squad is ready to join the fight.
"Space Marines, attack!"
