Chapter 697 Sudden Encounter
“You want to go to the left?”
Hearing Talos’ question, Soshyan nodded.
"Yes, about one or two kilometers away, the instructions in the amulet are like this."
"It seems that you trust this thing, okay, shall we set off now?"< br>
"Let's go."
Soshyan led the team along the ridge and under the top of the mountain. They walked through the mysterious granite walls with carved steps.
Then the soldier walking at the front reported that he had discovered a dome in the distance. Soshyan stepped forward and found that it was indeed a dome, a huge bulbous dome, swelling on the surface of the rock— —It is almost impossible to be made of rock.
Talos also hurriedly came to observe the target with his own eyes.
It looks like an onion made of stone, about one thousand meters in diameter, covered by the surrounding stepped stones, and its surface is covered with vague runes and marks.
But when they got closer to less than a thousand meters, nothing unusual happened.
Just when Soshyan was doubtful, drastic changes happened.
The soldier Urbano was the first to die. A flash barrage swept across the entire hillside, shattering the moss covering the ground and raising clouds of dust.
Urbano was beaten into pieces in the barrage.
At this moment, all the hidden artillery positions lurking in various positions opened fire, setting off a fire storm of lasers, bullets and plasma bombs.
The counterattack firepower was also intertwined with lasers and flares, forming a dense firepower network, and a large-scale firefight broke out in the dark underground in an instant.
"Alternate cover! Disperse! Find bunkers!"
While shouting orders, Soshyan fired endlessly at the surroundings, and then the dense barrage exploded two walls. The remaining wall allows some warriors to rush into the lower-lying ruins complex.
In front of them was a slope covered with gravel, and there were stone towers of unknown significance on the slope.
Through the communicator, Soshiyang urged the heavy weapons team to follow quickly, but at this moment, a very fast and violent flame struck along the arch and the stone niche. Perhaps Soshiyang's life The largest fire ever experienced.
He felt that the air in his nose was about to be burned dry by the flames, but he still sprayed out the air contemptuously, making the discomfort disappear.
“Look for firepower points and eliminate those automatic turrets!”
Under Soshyan’s instructions, the soldiers began to calmly use armor-piercing rockets and plasma guns to destroy those previously hidden gun emplacements. It is clear that if it were an ordinary army, it would have been in chaos under such a sudden attack of firepower.
But the Astartes have experienced battlefields more dangerous than this, so they appear to be very methodical.
As the counterattack intensified, the passive defensive firepower began to weaken. Although those forts can still be used after tens of thousands of years, they are far less strong than in the past and can even be destroyed with bolt guns.
"The first and second teams continue to shoot, and the third and fourth teams intersperse and advance!"
During the break between Soshyan's command, he suddenly heard a song-like vibration in the air, and the voice was very low. , lazy, ugly.
He quickly looked around.
But they found that the stone towers they lined up surrounded them from all directions. Something seemed to be happening in the stone towers.
These towers glow brightly, with pink energy bursting out from them like countless tentacles, while a large amount of mist rises around the towers.
"Damn!!"
Soshiyan yelled, realizing what was about to happen.
Those towers arranged in a line were originally just dilapidated stone spiers, but now they seem to have been suddenly given life and become a fence. Then, a forty-meter-high energy field suddenly rose, and hissing energy flowed to each other on the tops of the towers, making crackling noises that looked like huge, supernatural and densely spiky threads.
At the same time, there are blue and white intertwined, twisted energy like tentacles connected between the towers. Any bullet that steps between the two towers will be destroyed in a very short time. Blast to pieces.
At this time, one-third of the soldiers were directly trapped in this sudden obstacle, unable to escape or turn back.
Just as the energy network was burning on the tops of the originally dormant towers, something appeared on the flat tops of these towers.
“waaaagh!!!”
I saw a sudden burst of strange energy fluctuations in the void, and then a large number of figures appeared on the platforms at the top of these towers.
“Greenskins??? Why are they here!”
Even if Soshyan tried to break his head, he couldn't figure out what technology the green skins used to suddenly teleport over. However, as soon as they appeared, they were counterattacked by energy and a large area was immediately wiped out.
Then, the remaining greenskins quickly deployed heavy weapons on tripods, and then fired fiercely at the towers below and the Astartes forces.
These greenskins seem to be well-equipped, wearing metal armor full of fangs and skulls, with huge horned helmets on their heads. They use their dirty hands to set up laser cannons and thermal cannons. Meltguns and other mysterious weapons.
Among these green skins stood an extremely huge figure, which looked to be the size of a Dreadnought, with muscles and machinery almost integrated into one.
“You idiot, why did you send us to this hellish place!?”
Bonecrusher grabbed the Zodiac by the neck and began to shake it violently.
"Boss, boss, I said, this, this is not stable to begin with!"
"Forget it! Solve these cans first!"
Then he Shouting orders, the boys concentrated on attacking the Space Marines.
But suddenly, on his right side, two heavily armed men carrying huge assault guns burst into flames as their ammunition exploded.
Those towers actually changed their trajectory and began to besiege the green skins that suddenly appeared.
This gave Soshyan a chance and he shouted towards the command channel.
"Notify all combat units to detour from both sides, and the heavy weapons team to establish a position at the commanding heights on the left!"
The battlefield has become increasingly chaotic, with laser guns, bolt guns and mysterious electromagnetic There was a storm of weapons fire, and the air vibrated and buzzed with bombs of all kinds.
During this process, a barb-shaped bullet that flew very slowly and whose flight trajectory was visible to the naked eye attracted Loken's attention.
He discovered that when this kind of bullet hits flesh, it will cause a violent explosion that cannot be described in words.
The Tech-Priest saw some greenskins being blown to pieces by these bullets,
and many were injured by stones or metal fragments shattered by the bullets.
A barb-shaped bullet fell into a piece of grass outside the bunker where Loken was, losing its lethality. The Tech Priest quickly picked it up with his mechanical arm and observed it carefully—— It was a blunt, bulbous piece of metal with pointed corners extending forward, wrapped in layers of razor-sharp alloy, and was about the same size as a Space Marine blaster.
At the bottom of the bullet, there are fragments of the burnt glass cartridge, which is the source of its propulsion.
After a simple analysis, Loken guessed that the bullet was fired from a simple tubular launcher, and the propellant exploded and shattered the glass.
The more he observed, the more he appreciated this evil yet brilliant design - the alloy blades wrapped in layers on the bullet, when it hits a hard surface, it will explode and produce a large piece of debris. The shrapnel penetrates the tissue and hits the bone, causing extremely serious trauma.
Even the blades have a slight spiral twist, which shows that when fired, the rifling in the launch tube will cause the bullet to rotate and drive the blades.
Loken felt that he had never seen such a barbaric, cunning, and twisted weapon that brought pain and death to people. It is definitely the nemesis of organic life!
It was undoubtedly a major discovery. The ammunition used in the ancient ruins in front of him was so incredible. He couldn't even imagine what treasures there were inside!
Later, Loken shamelessly named this bullet "Loken Killer Bomb" and decided to start trial production of the first batch of samples after returning to his workshop.
