Chapter 229 Escape from the Tiger's Mouth
"Armin!"
Soshiyang ran all the way and shouted in the communicator:
"Bring the wounded, now we Get out of here!"
After that, he stopped for a moment to cut off the hands of a hybrid wielding a mining pick, then turned the sword tip and stabbed it into the beast's throat, with a flick of his wrist. The hateful head rolled across the ground.
"Everyone!"
Armin shouted excitedly.
“Move now!”
The formation spread out, and the soldiers surged forward with Soshyan.
Savitar, wearing a black cloak, took the lead in cutting a way out of the alien pile. Now he has enough space to wield the huge chain saw halberd.
"Follow me, I will clear the way."
"Yes, Master."
The halberd roared as it cut through the purebred's thick body. In the blink of an eye, dozens of aliens fell to the ground. In front of the Prince of Crows, the remaining believers guarded his back.
On the other side, Soshyan kept slashing as he advanced, Thor following closely beside him.
Boom————!
Another explosion was so close that it almost knocked Soshyan flying. He turned his attention to the source of the explosion and saw some fourth-generation hybrids operating simple rocket launchers.
"Pay attention to the front!"
While he was speaking, the bolt gun in his hand was also pointing over there. With a huge roar, the aliens operating the rocket launchers wailed and fell down.
Thor continued to move his sword as he advanced. Ugly alien faces and flashing weapons flew past in front of him. More nearby explosions shook the chalk stone ground under his feet. The places where shrapnel swept through could still be seen. Feel the heat.
During the move, the followers of Sevatar handed their heavy bolter to Armin. He held this big killer weapon and roared with vertical firepower to mow down the unprotected enemy. of alien.
Then, with a close explosion and Sevatar's howl of victory, they opened the breach.
They broke through to the temple gate, but then saw the "big gift" prepared by the enemy for them.
Under the steps of the temple, there are a total of four mining mechas standing.
This is a large machine that stands on short, stocky feet. Their torso is wrapped in heavy plastic steel armor reinforced with adamantine bars to resist collapse during operations.
A cluster of optics and a searchlight under a protective cover make up the head of the machine, mounted on a thick shoulder stand, while the ends of multiple robotic arms hold impact drills and rock saws.
Such large-scale mining equipment is easily seen in the mining world, but unexpectedly, these aliens used it as a deadly war machine, blocking the group's breakout path.
“Charge!”
Surrounded by boundless enemies, everyone has no way out and can only fight to the death.
Soshiyang chopped down the aliens on the stairs and rushed to the mechas that dug into the stairs first.
He swung his long sword, scraping and biting at the torso of the mecha, but it was unable to penetrate the thick plate armor that was dug into the mecha.
Although this giant thing was staggering and clumsy, it was strong and powerful. It hit Soshyan with its arm with an impact drill. He raised his sword to block, but was shocked back and forth, and even the tiger's mouth was numb.
But in the end, he relied on brute force and the long sword in his hand nailed through the cockpit of the mecha
Thor did better.
His two swords found the weak point and pierced the torso of a mecha. The obsidian-like Solomon's Hate penetrated the armor gap of the machine and sank deeply into the cockpit. Then the second sword came out from the observation port. When the nail was driven in, the gap immediately filled with blood.
When Thor drew out his sword, the mecha collapsed, and the green optical components fell silent.
In the area where no one noticed, Soshyan heard a short word.
Immediately under the feet of a mecha that was rushing towards him, the ground suddenly began to bend, the rocks shattered and disintegrated, and a rock pillar rose up, directly hitting the lower transmission system of the machine and paralyzing it in its original position. land.
Then the ground rumbled up, and the jagged rocks formed a big open hand, and the mecha in the palm was lifted up.
When the big rock hand clenched into a fist with a bang, the powerful machine turned into a pile of scrap metal mixed with rocks.
Witnessing this scene, Soshyan looked at the iron coffin behind Savita.
At this moment, the former first company commander of the Eighth Legion was leaping high. Even though he was carrying an iron coffin that probably weighed more than a ton behind him, he was still as light as a bat soaring in the dark night.
The next second, the huge chain saw halberd swung at the mecha in front of him with all its strength, roaring like a primal beast, like a hammer hitting an anvil. Amidst the explosion of metal, the optical lens on the mecha's head was shattered, and the body protected by the thick metal was dented.
With the bite of vicious saw teeth, the armor plate was torn apart, spraying countless small, razor-sharp fragments in all directions until the saw teeth locked in place.
When the energy of the blow was finally exhausted, Savita, who landed on the ground, pulled out the weapon, and then swung the next blow.
The mech staggered and tried to retreat, but in the end its armor fell apart and its cockpit shattered into smoking slag.
When the machine collapsed, blood poured out of the broken metal.
Immediately afterwards, Sevatar's voice spread across the battlefield like a harsh grinding sound, and he gave only one order.
“Run!”
Everyone started to run as hard as they could.
The aliens around them were like a vast ocean, and they were small boats bumping in the rough waves.
The speed of the Astartes is far beyond comparison with ordinary people. The team that was originally gathered together was gradually divided into two parts. Mortals kept wailing and falling down at the end of the team, and their bodies were brutally beaten by the aliens chasing after them. Cut into pieces.
Soshyan would occasionally look back, but Savita never glanced at them. Only the man wearing the crow mask could follow them closely.
Finally, they saw a hope.
On the gray-white rock wall of the cave, after a tremor, three huge silver drill bits suddenly appeared, and then a huge excavation engineering vehicle drove out.
A man opened the top hatch and stood in the top hatch, operating the vehicle's heavy bolter to shoot at the pursuing aliens.
“Run to that thing!”
Sevita turned around and shouted:
“You are running like hell!”
Excavation engineering vehicle As the Astartes raced toward it, they continued to pour fire upon the xenos to suppress them, but the enemies were too numerous to be stopped completely.
Still they pressed forward, unconcerned with the horrific casualties they were suffering.
Savitar arrived at the target first. He jumped onto the top of the engineering vehicle with two clicks, then grabbed the heavy explosive bomb from the hands of the stunned believers, turned around and started to attack the howling monsters. Straf.
His hit rate is much higher than that of ordinary operators, and the momentum of the Genestealer's pursuit suddenly stalled
"Hurry!!"
Not much Yes, others arrived at the engineering vehicle one after another, but at this time only the Astartes team and the masked believer were left, and all the other mortals had died on the way to escape.
As soon as Soshyan ran to the roof of the engineering vehicle, he hung his sword back on his waist, then reloaded his bolt pistol, then turned around and shot wildly at the tide of monsters behind him with Savita.
“Stop fighting!”
Sevita suddenly bumped him with his shoulder and shouted.
"These things can't be killed! Go inside immediately and hold on tight. We have to escape before they blow up this place!"
Ceasefire for a moment, then jumped into the open door Everyone else in the cabin immediately climbed onto the roof of the car and entered the cabin. Savita was the last one to enter.
"Go, go now! Drive up!"
The Prince of Crows walked to the back of the cockpit and shouted into it.
“We are all coming up!”
Boom——————————————————————————————!
Before he finished speaking, a huge roar began to shake the engineering vehicle with majestic energy, causing the people inside to shake from side to side.
"Let's go!"
The construction vehicle belonging to the Mining Guild was filled with Astartes, clinging to everything nearby as the driver drove at full speed.
When the engineering vehicle retracted into the rock mass again, dark groundwater rushed in from all directions, quickly submerging everything in the cave, followed by a large-scale landslide.
The former Crow Sect has completely disappeared into the deep underground of the mining area...
