Chapter 651 The Wrath of the Divine Machine
“Tactical Report!”
There were enough surprises today, Kurtz Mannheim had a vibrato when he spoke,
A painful roaring code came from the horn of the injured Iron Hammer. It was trying to regain its footing. The sensor listened hard, trying to classify and clean up the complicated code, while staring at the bird. The erratic parameters of the fortune teller.
"A small amount of damage to the body is within control, Captain."
The data officer then begins reporting.
“14 of our units were damaged, 3 were seriously injured, and 11 were killed, including 7 War Dogs, 3 Predators, and 1 Warlord.”
This number Kurtz's heart throbbed. The Iron Skull Legion had never suffered such a huge loss.
"Where is the enemy?"
"The enemy forces are almost completely destroyed. The data shows that the enemy still has two enemy aircraft surviving, located at position 458."
"Confirm, continue scanning."
"Working, Captain."
Kurz Mannheim took a deep breath, calmed down, and thought carefully about who he is today. The luck was not that bad, at least when the legion was on the verge of destruction, reinforcements appeared, and they were Astartes.
"It's time to counterattack, raise your shield, attack at pace, and prepare your main weapon."
"Shield deployed!"
"Accelerate to attack speed!"
"The engine has been activated to maximum power, Captain."
Another wave of missiles spraying hot air landed in front, and a decorated war dog not far away The wail sounded even more miserable, because it rushed too forward, and a phosphorus weapon exploded at its feet, and the flames immediately climbed up its right leg.
“Damn——”
The sensor in the corner suddenly muttered to himself.
"What kind of weapons are these Astartes using? They can actually ignite metal."
"I will only remind you once, you can only say this in this cockpit, you have to respect yourself outside, sensor officer , Astartes is not something you can question.”
“Yes, Captain. I’m very sorry, Captain!”
Then the sensor officer worked hard to adjust the scanning device.
“The entire area has fallen into an abnormally high temperature state, and it is difficult to obtain clear images. Captain, the auspicious device operating at full power is still unable to filter out the heat signal interference in the target area.”
"I don't want to hear excuses, Sensor Officer!"
"No excuses, Captain."
The gunnery engineer took the opportunity to interject.
"The sensor officer is right, we are facing an ambush herd. They are very good at using any electromagnetic concentration point in this land to conceal their identity. Now the weapons of the Astartes have It messed up the thermal imaging."
One kilometer east of them, the remaining Titans of the Iron Skull Legion had launched long-range covering fire, and the two Predators were spraying heavy artillery fire in the distance as they advanced. jet.
"Order the legion to maintain the pace of attack."
Kurz Mannheim ordered:
"Continue to suppress the artillery fire, and we will move forward to support the Astartes at close range. "
"Yes, Captain, what a good idea"
Kurz Mannheim tried hard to focus on the target area, but the targeting system and detection system still found nothing. At this time, the system prompts that a tail autoloader seems to be rotating at a low speed and may be jammed - this thing is like a spindle in a textile machine.
"Tech-Priest! Watch out for the No. 9 loader at the rear!"
He called quickly.
"The fault has been discovered and has been reported to the modulation officer."
The reply from the technical priest came.
“I sent a few servitors there.”
After rounds of bombings, the entire swamp has been changed beyond recognition.
Thick smoke and echoing codes shuttle through the air. The ground is covered with piles of metal debris and rugged lumps with pits several meters deep.
"Multiple dangerous path warnings!"
Then the power officer shouted.
“Must slow down to one third of the pace.”
"Agree, reduce the traveling speed." Kurtz Mannheim moved his hips forward. He could feel the huge body of Steel Hammer stepping across the war-torn area. As early as the era when Titan learned to learn, Mentors had taught him horror stories and examples of engines that went too fast over dangerous terrain and ended up pushing past their own traction limits—their morbid rush taking themselves beyond the limits of what their gyroscopes and inertial dampers could control, and ultimately Capsized, they could only watch helplessly as the enemy arrived.
“Don’t fight the lever, making sure it works slowly and gently will keep us stable.”
“Yes, Captain.”
< br>They were passing through streaks of dark oil smoke, which washed the entire cockpit from head to toe. Phosphorus fire was flowing everywhere, carbonizing the body, and the entire battlefield was like a legendary hell.
"Hold steady."
One step after another, the oriole was searching with all its strength, but could only read the shell of the wreckage.
"Where did they go?"
"They haven't escaped yet, Captain, I have found their traces, they are still here."
These Hunters, stalkers, and dormant beasts still have not given up their hunting.
They hide in the smoke and flames, waiting for an opportunity to pounce from close range.
"Reduce the speed to one-tenth, rotate the waist and track the target, moving, keeping the weapon activated and ready."
Steel Hammer's upper body began to rotate slowly: Going left, right, back to the left, back to the right, it is patiently carefully inspecting every piece of land in front of it.
“3-4-3 direction, seventy meters away!”
Suddenly, the sensor made a sound, but the sound was very low.
"I think that's a heat signature."
"I think so, Sensing Officer."
"Where's the clearance to fire, Captain?"
"Permission. ”
The gunner activated the firing system, and the plasma annihilator unleashed its fury. The sensory flow returned to the system was very sweet, simply extremely exciting. This is Kurtz Mannheim. Long awaited.
The next second, a shit-yellow-painted Gangaat emerged from the burst of flames like a frightened bird.
It was injured, one leg was drooping, and sparks were vomited from the heat exchanger on its back.
"Clear target!"
Kurz yelled.
“Give me the Tornado missile lock!”
"Yes, the missile lock is completed!"
"Five salvos!"
Subsequently,
the missiles spurted out from the launcher on the back, and it was a real shot. They could feel the jolt in the cockpit as the round slammed out of the chamber, and hear the grinding sound of the loading system stuffing new rockets into the chamber.
This is overkill,
The first three missiles killed Gangaat when they hit its back, and its entire torso was engulfed in the erupting flames.
The fourth one exploded its cockpit as it turned and fell. It was unnecessary, but it was pleasant. The fifth one that lost its target destroyed a truck and swallowed up a dozen people around it. Greenskin.
Gangat collapsed to the ground as it disintegrated in the flames, and the crew cheered.
“Keep an eye on your positions! It’s not over yet!”
Kurz just finished speaking,
The second dark-colored Gangaat jumped out from the thick smoke to their left. The oily color of the shell was like the colorful elytra of a rhinoceros that shines with purple light.
The enemy aircraft's weapon team opened fire, spitting out a round of ferocious volleys that made the steel hammer tremble, and its shield was trying hard to absorb the violent impact.
"Turn! Turn!"
It came straight towards them a hundred meters, fifty meters, and kept shooting.
“The void shield is stable!”
"The target has reached a dangerous distance, prepare for close combat!"
This is the most unacceptable option, because the Emperor-class Titan is not equipped with melee weapons at all!
