Chapter 268 Land Speeder
With the roar of the engine, the huge Thunderhawk drew a trail in the air, and finally stopped firmly on the ground.
When the cabin door opened, twelve giants in armor walked out of the spacious cabin with neat steps. The dim sunlight shone on their silver-gray armor, exuding a sacred light. faint.
One of them is holding a battle flag high. On the front of the battle flag is a scene of the greatest warrior of mankind defeating aliens. On the background are two long swords crossing upwards. On the back are skulls and skulls symbolizing purity and death. Golden eagle emblem.
After all the soldiers walked out of the cabin, they immediately spread out in a fan-shaped formation and pointed their guns at the surroundings with vigilance.
Immediately afterwards, three Land Speeders drove out from the engine room, each with two soldiers on board, one responsible for driving and the other responsible for controlling the heavy bombs on it.
The STC design of the Rand series can be traced back thousands of years before the Empire. However, after the turbulent years, its design was once lost until the legendary technological archaeologist Akan Rand Until it is discovered again.
Legend has it that Rand's Raider template was first discovered - it was the dawn of the Empire at that time, and it originated from the work of the technical archaeologist Akan Rand in the Great Library of Vientiane on Mars. A great adventure.
The main purpose of Rand himself going down to this labyrinth tomb was to find the STC database that was still functioning.
Although he did not achieve this main goal as a result of this expedition, he did find two discoveries that changed the thinking of technological development in the next thousand years.
The first item is an almost complete STC data image of a heavily equipped field tank saved on a data board.
The second discovery revealed information about a rare anti-gravity metal plate, which also led to the creation of the Land Speeder.
But Rand himself was killed by a supernatural being during his second expedition. No one in his team survived. What other secrets of the dark ages died with him.
The Land Speeder is an arrow-shaped assault vehicle that swoops down from the smoky sky, screaming into its terrified prey, using its fire-breathing weight to Weapons slam into them.
During the Great Crusade era, Land Speeders were often used as the tip of the spear to penetrate the enemy's flanks and rear formations, as each ship could tear through enemy lines with deadly accuracy and its speed and mobility will make the enemy lose the opportunity to retaliate.
With the beginning of the Second Founding of the Army, just like other standard manufacturing template vehicles used by various Adeptus Astartes in the galaxy, the Land Speeder has become an ideal vehicle for adapting to various tactics due to its extremely solid structure and flexible deployment method. It is a universal vehicle for various roles and is widely used by various battle groups.
Due to the sophisticated anti-gravity webbing on its bottom, this land speedboat can ignore the laws of gravity and glide across the ground at very high speeds.
At short distances, it can increase the output of its anti-gravity field, allowing it to fly briefly at low altitudes.
It is this ability that has earned the Land Speeder its fearsome reputation on the battlefield.
They roared and screamed like phantom storm clouds of fiery fury bursting from the storm, hurling thunder and lightning into the ranks of the Empire's enemies below, and then, in a heartbeat, It disappeared in an instant.
Although this land speedboat is small and nimble, it is as powerful as any Space Marine vehicle, and the weapons it carries are much larger than its size would indicate.
As a two-person aircraft, one person plays the role of the pilot. With the help of the auxiliary pilot machine spirit, he can complete high-speed flying stunts and thrilling explosive movements that would be fatal to a mortal. accelerate.
The other person is the weapon hand. Through the auxiliary aiming system, his weapon can be locked tightly on the enemy and focus on pouring counterattack firepower on the enemy.
The Land Speeder is an excellent forward reconnaissance force. It is usually organized into a group of three and can be equipped with weapons such as heavy bolters, assault guns and missile launchers. It is also equipped with long-range reconnaissance equipment. The scanner can quickly obtain dynamic intelligence on the battlefield within hundreds of square kilometers.
It is not uncommon for Land Speeder pilots to have their entire support formation make a brave vertical drop and then disperse, the wind carrying their battle-hungry cries and jubilant howls across the battlefield , the sound was as if the storm itself was laughing. "Chapter Commander, the reconnaissance team is in place and ready to go at any time."
Ustad, who was in the co-pilot seat of the first Land Speeder, reported to Soshyan through the public channel.
"Okay, pay attention to safety and report any situation in time."
"Yes."
After saying that, the small formation of three speed attack boats left the infantry formation. , heading straight ahead to the unknown area.
Due to the lack of understanding of the surface conditions of the planet and the inability to receive any ground signals, Soshyan decided to land in the Eighth Parish where the Ministry of Justice was located, and entered the Ministry of Justice fortress to see if he could collect key intelligence.
Generally speaking, when a riot or disturbance occurs on a planet, the first to take action must be the law enforcement agency of the planet.
Although there is a high probability that the law enforcers have died, perhaps they have left law enforcement records or relevant physical evidence, which can allow Soshiyang to understand what exactly happened on the planet and how it happened. happened.
Before landing, Soshyan also summoned the nearest Inquisition fleet - after all, they are the experts in handling such matters, but it will take at least a week for the fleet to arrive.
After the reconnaissance team drove a certain distance and confirmed that there was no enemy situation, Soshyan led the team and began to move towards the target.
They are currently located in the old city of the Eighth Parish. If the map is correct, they are about twenty kilometers away from the Ministry of Justice fortress built in the wilderness. As expected, they will be able to reach it soon.
In fact, Soshyan still hopes for some "accident".
Because the whole process was too smooth and too quiet. From the moment their Thunder Eagle broke through the planet's atmosphere to now, everything around them was only dead silence.
The street seemed to have just experienced a carnival. There were debris everywhere. The walls and trees were covered with blasphemous symbols and graffiti painted with blood. Behind the open doors and windows stood many signs with various Statues made of piled materials make people feel uncomfortable just by looking at them.
Even if you can't see what those statues are trying to express, you can still feel that they are "laughing". Under the gaze of these weird statues, the Astral Knights team walked into the city step by step.
"Leader of the Chapter, look."
Suddenly, Farzad, who was holding the flag, made a surprised sound. Soshyan turned around and saw something strange bursting out from the tip of the Chapter Flag. of electric sparks.
This situation is rare, and there is only one explanation.
“Be vigilant.”
Obviously, there are enemies around, and there are many of them.
The soldiers raised their guns one after another, and the scanning devices on their helmets kept patrolling in the shadows of the buildings.
At this time, the wind suddenly picked up, blowing up debris and dust on the ground, making the whole space become even weirder.
This chapter pays tribute to a famous U-group short movie^_^
