Chapter 491: Their respective battlefields
“Kill him! Skin him!”
A whole small team launched a surprise attack on Talos, and five swordsmen of the Third Legion went straight to the Prophet Coming, he was about to cut down this previously arrogant guy.
Taros has enemies on both sides, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet and fight these addicts.
The first guy who rushed over was a former company commander of the Third Legion. Talos recognized this from his rank and company insignia, although most of these marks were blurred.
The prophet foresaw the opponent's movements and knocked the opponent's sword with his blade, knocking the swordsman aside.
At this time, another emperor stabbed him. Talos blocked the blow and backhanded his sword into the helmet of the swordsman who attacked him immediately.
In an instant, the swordsman's armor had a lot of scarlet color besides paint.
Although one of them was killed, Talos also received one blow each on the shoulder and abdomen. If he hadn't dodged with all his strength, these two blows would have been enough to make him lose his fighting ability.
Seeing that he was about to be surrounded, Talos reached for his bolter.
At this time, a sudden burst of artillery fire tore apart the battle line. It turned out that the central control room activated the dormant Wolf Spider turret.
The official name of the Wolf Spider Turret is the Sentry Turret, but the world usually calls it the Wolf Spider Cannon Turret. It is an automatic weapon system developed by the Empire based on ancient technology. It is most commonly used by the Imperial Defense Force, and A This turret is also used by the Order of the Start and the Adeptus Adeptus. The exact origin of its Wolf Spider nickname is unknown, but its multi-bracket appearance may have earned it the title.
Each Tarantula turret has a scanner and turret battery. If appropriate, soldiers will also use cables to keep the turret operational for long periods of time. This weapon system will continue to operate after deployment until it runs out of ammunition. Or damaged, and of course without power.
The Tarantula comes in many models, the two most common being the anti-infantry version with two heavy bolters or the anti-tank version with two laser cannons.
There are actually a large number of Wolf Spider turrets inside the Star Fortress, but they had been dormant due to a secret key issue. However, after the technical sergeant cracked the secret key of the internal defense system, these turrets were activated.
Suddenly, a powerful firepower appeared on the battlefield.
This firepower also saved Talos.
Using the strafing cover of the Wolf Spider turret, the Prophet chopped down another swordsman, and then quickly aimed and fired a series of bursts from the bolt gun, knocking down the third one.
The captain of the Third Legion who had been knocked down before had also stood up again and rushed straight towards Talos.
His first blow shattered Talos's power sword, and his second blow broke Talos' defense.
Talos missed his golden sword very much at this moment, but at the critical moment of life and death, his power of foresight and fighting instinct saved him again.
The prophet suddenly smashed the empty bolt gun into the swordsman's face, then took advantage of the opponent's moment of confusion to go to the side to avoid the sword, and then swung his own sword.
Taros's blow hit the Emperor's Son swordsman's face almost vertically, starting just above the right eyepiece and slashing down in a line.
The helmet made of ceramic steel seems to be unable to stop the broken sword blade at all.
The swordsman fell to the ground, a large ball of blood suddenly emerged, and then he saw something on the etched steel plate in front of him.
It was a slice of the visor and nose part of his helmet, a whole piece of visor—it had been chopped off, with a neat edge, as if it had been cut by an industrial microtome.
And it's not empty inside.
Talos peeled off almost his entire face.
Subsequently, before the swordsman could struggle out of the shock and pain, Talos' broken sword fell.
The last remaining swordsman glanced at the prophet hesitantly, and finally turned around and ran away.
Talos grinned. "It's still the same."
But the war is far from over. As the captain of the first company of the Astral Knights, Maximilian also faces his own huge challenges.
A strangely screaming warrior, wearing cracked green armor, was surrounding him.
This monster curled up its slender fingers with huge claws, so although it looked defenseless, its palms were huge.
Countless swollen tumors had big wrinkled mouths on them. They squeezed through his armor and meshed intimately with its internal structure.
This Chaos Space Marine is not wearing a helmet. In fact, it has no helmet to wear, because its face has turned into a large insect, with strong ape features, compound eyes and twitching. The tentacles climbed up the ape's deformed jaw.
This warrior has no nose, and it has a second slit off the central axis, which is lined with dense fangs.
Mark still couldn't understand why a glorious space warrior would allow his body to undergo such severe distortions?
When he thought of this, he thought again of the tragedy in which his compatriots killed each other.
Sure enough, all evil comes from subspace.
Suddenly, a tentacle wrapped tightly around Mark's arm, and it turned out that there was another mutated Chaos Space Marine attacking behind him.
The warrior's other arm is a giant pincer, covered with colorful tiny feathers, reaching straight towards Mark's face.
Mark took a step back. As much as he wanted to escape from the enemy's clutches, he was disgusted with this disgusting appearance.
Its terrifying mouth is always squirming, spitting acidic saliva from its corrupted glands.
Then Mark pulled hard and pulled the creature in front of him in front of his right arm. His power sword was already ready to go and chopped it into a pile of rotten flesh.
But the second traitor seized the opportunity when he was distracted to kill the enemy, jumped up, and knocked over the two people who were twisted together.
The Chaos Space Marine stretched out its deformed giant hand and pinched Mark's helmet, while its other hand was like a lingering embrace, pinning Mark's arms tightly to both sides of his body. .
This possessed monster was so strong and powerful that Mark's ears actually heard the alarm sound of ceramic armor shattering under the heavy pressure.
Soon, cracks appeared in his armor, the gas leaking from the holes hissed, and even the helmet groaned in surrender, its inner surface already clinging tightly to him scalp.
"What the hell--"
Mark muttered, twisting his arms, but the limbs of the Chaos Space Marines were like pythons, compressed even more tightly and airtight.
However, the moment the Tarantula turret was activated, it still relaxed for a moment, giving Mark a chance to twist the barrel.
He went straight towards the enemy's curved breastplate and emptied the magazine. The dozens of explosive shells fired in succession exploded violently, even making his chest tremble.
The Chaos Space Marine screamed and fell to the ground, his body curled up like a dead spider, leaving Mark still lying there panting, covered in smoking ichor.
His helmet was almost crushed, and the pain was unbearable.
The First Captain of the Astral Knights was cursing, shaking off the shells of explosive bombs, tearing off his helmet and throwing it aside, still cursing in his mouth.
The battle situation was changing rapidly, and he looked around the hall, looking for Soshyan's location.
Soon, he noticed that there were blazing flames around the battlefield, and the huge bloodthirsty demon had fallen under Soshyan's spear.
