Chapter 69 Angels Arrive
“Sir, we are being attacked by those mortals, and we must show them that we are Space Marines, not animals.”
Armin whispered angrily. , in his heart, he wanted to teach those guys a lesson.
“No, there are other people nearby.”
Suddenly, Thor’s voice, which had been silent, sounded on the channel. He was wearing ordinary power armor and a helmet, and he looked like the others. There is no difference between the warriors, the only difference is the sword at his waist.
"Silence."
Soshiyan immediately gave the order, then turned around and came to the back of the team, where Thor was.
He observed the jungle carefully, and with the help of night vision equipment and infrared observers, he discovered the sneaky figures moving in the jungle.
They looked like mortals armed with simple light weapons, but there were many of them, and they surrounded them from all directions.
Soshyan's team happened to be between them and the city defenders.
Moreover, due to the night and the complex environment of the jungle, these people did not recognize what was in front of them. They mistakenly thought that the city's defenders had entered the jungle, so they also launched an attack on the target.
For a time, the jungle was filled with gunshots and shouts.
"Kill them!"
Soshyan then heard Armin shout a war cry, emphasizing his anger in a loud voice.
"Armin, reorganize the formation."
Soshyan shouted to his men.
“If anything comes towards us from behind, kill them immediately.”
Soon, the roar of bombs and the sound of flesh being torn could be heard from deep in the jungle, and there were also There were screams at the moment of death and the whines of the seriously injured.
Suddenly, the earth shook. Soshyan turned his head and saw a passage in the jungle being shoveled, and tree sap was spraying outward from the trees that had been chopped into pieces.
A sentry mecha tower like a legendary giant stood in front of Soshyan. A harvesting chain saw was fixed on the front end of this bipedal mecha's mechanical arm, and a heavy flamethrower was installed on Right below the cockpit.
Perhaps because the jungle was too dark, the Sentinel mecha activated its flamethrower before the identity of the target could be identified.
A bright ball of fire shot through the jungle, turning everything in its path to ashes.
Soshyan's superhuman reflexes barely saved his life, and he hid under the Sentinel mecha in one sprint.
He knew that the flames shot out in a cone shape, which meant that the safest place was right next to the Sentinel mecha.
Of course, most Sentinels are not equipped with melee weapons.
This pincer-shaped weapon, which was obviously removed from a farm harvester, roared in a burst of thick black smoke, turned downwards, drew a fatal arc, and went straight to the silver-gray figure.
Soshiyang raised the red-glow Sheng Yan Sword in his hand and tried to resist.
In an instant, the kinetic energy of the huge chain saw even made the Space Marine's arms feel numb.
Soshiyang gritted his teeth, tensed his strengthened muscles, and held the sword in his hand tightly. The runes on the sword glowed faintly in the fierce confrontation.
Soon, the teeth of the chain saw were blown away, and then Soshiyang slammed forward. The Shengyan sword cut into the inside of the machine body, and sparks flew out from between the blade and the gear.
Soshyan could hear the rest of the team fighting fiercely with the unidentified enemies.
Based on the sounds of collisions, bolter fire, and bone breaking, he probably knew that this was definitely a one-sided massacre.
Waiting for the Heavy Sentinel to activate again, Soshiyang raised his sword with both hands and slashed at the knee joints of the Sentinel Mecha's legs.
With a bang, the Sheng Yan Sword cut off the transmission shaft, and the sentry suddenly lost his balance.
It struggled to hold on with its only remaining leg for a few seconds, then fell forward, and the flamethrower nozzle also fell into the dirt.
"Get out!"
At the same time, Armin angrily threw a body onto a high branch. It was a thin man wearing ragged clothes.
The roar of bolt guns echoed, and the other team members easily drove those people back. Even if it was a sneak attack, these mortals were no match for the demigods.
And they also recognized what they were facing and immediately lost their courage.
Although the gunfire stopped, the ground began to shake again, and other enemies came.
Soshyan felt the vibrations on the ground, and based on the noise from the engine, he could tell the direction of the vehicle.
The defenders sent out new things to burn the entire jungle to ashes.
The blazing flames from the heavy flamethrowers illuminated the power armor of the Astartes, and the demigods emerged from the sea of fire, but the defenders did not seem to realize anything yet. "They thought we were enemies and opened fire on us."
"Kill them all!"
"Don't worry."
Soshyan suppressed Armin's anger, then stepped forward to grab the door of the destroyed Sentinel mecha.
The Space Marine used surprising power to tear open the hatch, and a frightened and wet pilot was exposed in the cockpit.
“Come out.”
Soshiyan ordered.
The pilot said something, then jumped out of the hatch and lay on the ground.
Soshyan then pulled out a communicator from inside.
“Damn it!”
Soon, he let out an angry growl, shaking the small trophy in his hand.
This communicator is broken.
"Brothers, stay where you are."
After giving the order, Soshyan ran desperately and rushed into the shooting area. The heavy logging guns on the wall immediately responded, and the ground suddenly became Dusty.
He changed directions, dodged bullets, and tried to observe his surroundings.
The bullet hit Soshyan's shoulder armor, but it did not interrupt his footsteps.
On his left, another Sentinel mecha equipped only with a flamethrower rushed forward, but it was still out of range.
To his right, he saw the source of the previous fire, an armored tracked vehicle converted from a tractor.
He hoped that the defenders would recognize that the giant in silver-gray power armor in front of him was not a beast in the jungle.
Sure enough, the Sentinel Mecha slowed down. Maybe the pilot still had some sense.
But the gun towers on the wall were still firing, luckily they lacked crosshairs.
However, the driver of the modified armored car seemed to be frightened, and actually started its engine and rushed towards Soshyan.
The Space Marines also began to charge.
He let out a roar, tensed his legs, and used the auxiliary power in his armor to jump towards the armor.
The next second, Soshyan stepped heavily on the hood of the armored vehicle, then tore open the top of the cockpit with his bare hands, dragged out the screaming mortals inside one by one, and threw them aside.
His plan succeeded.
The gun tower stopped shooting, and the people on the city wall and the lone sentry mecha became hesitant.
Soshyan took a deep breath, stood up and took off his helmet.
"In the name of the Emperor!"
He shouted:
"You have committed an unpardonable crime by attacking the Adeptus Astartes!"< br>
A panic broke out on the city wall. Most of these people could not understand Gothic and were just frightened by the roar of the giants. However, among the defenders, Soshyan saw some figures wearing gorgeous clothes.
That true leader emerges.
"It's the Astartes! The Emperor's angels have arrived!"
The eyesight of senior people is indeed much better than that of ordinary people. They recognized the identities of these giants at a glance, panic and Shock spread rapidly across the parapet.
“Open the door.”
Soshiyan only said two words in the end.
The gates to Thetis City shuddered open, and the Space Marine squad finally emerged from the jungle.
