Chapter 16 Tomb Spider
The aliens did not give up.
When Forlo led the team to the corridor outside the main hall, the ambush intensified.
The journey through the corridor turned into a mixture of blood and excitement of battle. The warriors with broken limbs, the immortals holding Gauss rifles and the tough Lich Guards were filled with waves of cold fear. Attack.
The sharp blades and gun flames flickered in the flickering lighting, and the hissing sound of sharp tools cutting metal was extremely harsh.
Forlo's sophistication prevented many disastrous situations.
His insight allowed the team to avoid previous explosion traps twice, and once they used the opportunity of a tunnel collapse to find another way out at the last moment, and shut down the necessary servo systems and automatic senses. All equipment except.
During this process, Forlo has been trying to teach Soshyan his understanding. This seems to be a practical teaching, which makes Soshyan very puzzled.
But he will not refuse the teachings of Captain Terminator, because he also hopes to become such an experienced warrior one day - provided that he can still leave here alive.
However, the probability of this happening is probably lower than if he was selected as a Space Marine.
Two levels away from their target, the corridor seemed empty again, and the Necron seemed to be retreating, even as the Space Marines advanced toward their center.
When they arrived at the corridor outside the main control hall, the reason became clear.
There were only the last dozen enemies left between them and the closed door of the hall. However, these undead souls were no longer the human forms they encountered before, but the sleeping statues that Soshyan encountered before. Exactly the same.
This is a large spider machine that stands on short and stocky mechanical legs. Their torso is wrapped in heavy armor reinforced with adamantine bars. The thickness is no less than that of a Land Reaver.
At the front of the torso, there is a head composed of a combination of optical components and a searchlight under a protective cover. Two huge hooks are installed on thick shoulder brackets, and the two sides of the head are The end of the huge pliers is equipped with a terrifying drill bit.
There were four of these giant spider guards in total, completely blocking the entrance to the gate. They were surrounded by the remains of undead and fragments of Space Marine power armor. It was obvious that they had experienced a fierce battle before.
But since they are guarding here, the situation inside must be very bad.
There is not much time left for them - this was the first judgment Fulo made.
These Spider Guards also discovered the Space Marine team immediately. They immediately took action, maintaining their own cautious pace and advancing towards the team, like predators waiting for an opportunity.
Forlo immediately activated his power fists, and the chainswords and power swords of his other battle brothers responded to his hungry roar.
This time, the other party responded, and the air was filled with metallic sounds of heavy drill bits and waving hooks.
"Prioritize attacking the enemies on both sides. Soshiyang, you lead the team to attack the one on the right, and leave the one in the middle to me."
The order was given, and there was no more time to speak, the tomb The spider lurched into hand-to-hand distance.
The next second, the first team's explosive bombs exploded harmlessly from their reinforced armor. The attacked tomb spider seemed to be frightened, suddenly accelerated and rushed over, and shot out from the abdomen. A series of thermal cutting beams.
Fullo held his breath and began to draw energy from the Terminator's core and directed it to his power gloves.
Lyman's Ears shielded him from the sound of chainsaw blades meeting steel as he fashioned destruction.
The next second, Superman's muscles tensed and tightened, and the Terminator's metal muscle fibers were activated. At the same time, his keen senses were once again filled with a sticky stench, and his temples throbbed together with the dimness of his vision. Attack.
The moment the giant spider machine approached, Forro unleashed destruction.
The huge cavalry terminator rushed forward at a speed that did not conform to the structure. After blocking the opponent's giant pincers with his elbows, he touched his fists, raised them high and then dropped them with a crash - nothing happened. It happens in just a few seconds.
Faced with the Terminator's full blow, no matter how thick the armor is, it will not help.
As the ground collapsed, the Tomb Spider's head and most of its torso were smashed directly into the hard ground. Several mechanical arms twitched for a while and then stopped moving.
Beside Forlo, the battle brothers did not move.
Faced with the approaching Tomb Spider, the chain saw was powerless against the thick plate armor. Although it kept scraping and biting, it was unable to penetrate. The opponent's giant was staggering but strong.
A tomb spider grabbed an arm of a Space Marine with its claws, then swung its hook, and the vicious blade cut through the ceramite in a shower of sparks. and plastic steel, penetrating into flesh and blood.
When the arm was removed, the Space Marine remained silent, instead wielding his chainsword and cutting off the machine's bloody appendage.
Blood and liquid metal splashed together, but the soldier was still fighting fiercely.
However, his sacrifice also brought about a moment when the Tomb Spider exposed its weakness. This moment was captured by a veteran holding a power sword. His sword pierced the connection between the spider's head and torso.
The whole body of the Tomb Spider is covered with thick armor, but there is no protection here, and then it is like nothing when the power sword penetrates.
When the veteran drew his sword, the giant tomb spider collapsed, and the leader's green optical components fell silent.
Then, another Tomb Spider crossed over the rubble and headed straight for Forlo, wielding its giant pincers.
Under the cover of a melta bomb, the Terminator released his invisible rage. He first hit the enemy's torso hard with both fists, then tore off the two mechanical legs and attacked them. A punch to the enemy's head.
The front of the Tomb Spider's head immediately sunk, and its offensive suddenly stopped, and it collapsed to the ground.
On the right side, Occam fell silently, and a cutting beam cut deeply into his leg armor, almost cutting off his right calf.
Forlo immediately planned to go to support Soshiyan, but something unexpected happened.
"Be careful!"
I saw that the Tomb Spider, who was first knocked down by Forlo, got up again at some point and crashed into him with an overwhelming sound amidst the cracking sound of hard plastic steel. Its size pinned him to the ground.
Before Forlo could stand up, the Tomb Spider stepped on his breastplate with a forked mechanical foot, pinning him in place.
The Terminator armor's automated senses chirped warnings that the pressure would crush the entrails and shatter the Space Marine's reinforced ribs.
Not just this one, the other two that were knocked down also got up. There are also many wandering mechanical beetles on their bodies, constantly repairing the damaged bodies. These scarabs crawled out from the spider's abdomen.
The situation of the battle immediately took a turn for the worse, and the team began to suffer casualties one after another.
Soshiyang, who has been entangled by the tomb spider, is angry again at this moment.
After using his elbow to block the opponent's stabbing hook, he ignored the sound of the drill biting the plastic steel and swung the chain sword with all his strength towards the Tomb Spider's head with a roar like a primitive behemoth. Like a hammer hitting an anvil.
He successfully crushed the opponent's head before his left arm was severed.
However, even when the opponent collapsed, Soshyan did not give up the attack. The chain sword continued to bite driven by his terrifying enhanced physical strength and its own reciprocating power device.
With the bite of the vicious saw teeth, the armor plate on the front half of the Tomb Spider was completely torn open, and countless razor-sharp tiny fragments were sprayed in all directions until the saw teeth locked in place.
When the energy of the blow was finally exhausted, Soshyan pulled the weapon out and then swung the next blow.
This completely shattered the control center of the tomb spider. The scarabs that emerged from its abdomen to attack Soshyan immediately lost their target and began to wander blindly.
In the end, the Tomb Spider fell apart under Soshyan's heavy blows again and again, and liquid metal gushes out from the broken body.
Then Soshyan's voice spread through the communication channel like a harsh grinding sound, and he only said one word.
"Kill!"
