Chapter 1760 Surrender
Bertus Willibald has never hated the Space Marines so much. Ever since the rise of the tyrants of Badab, these damn mutants have made the Maelstrom a mess. All they know is Destruction and war, regard killing and destruction as glory, and have no understanding of the difficulty of rebuilding in the ruins. They have never added a brick, a brick, a plant or a tree to this world, but they regard themselves as the protectors of mankind for everyone. Take everything and take it away, treating the followers of the God of All Machines just like the knight lords in the feudal world treated the serfs in their territory.
And now, they have reached out to Angstrom, but there is nothing they can do.
Originally, he hoped to be conciliatory with the opponent first and find another way later, but he did not expect that the power system was suddenly destroyed, or that they had fallen into the opponent's trap from the beginning when the fleet was transferred. Well, ordinary Astartes do not have this ability.
He has probably guessed that this must be the heretics of Reza, or even the ones who encouraged the Astartes to do such a thing.
If he could survive this disaster, Bertus Willibald vowed to take revenge on these damn Reza heretics.
However, this calamity.
<The attack signal is seven to five...>
<Awaiting further instructions...>
<Begin withdrawal protocol...& amp;amp;gt;
Even Bertus Willivaldez's multi-channel data link can only receive rough reports from the main troops. The enemy has adopted the most direct central breakthrough tactic and has surrounded him in the Mechanical Temple. Although there are still A large number of troops, but it is not easy for them to break through the Space Marines.
In fact, there is a secret escape passage under the Mechanical Temple. However, from the destruction of the underground power center, we can know that the other party must have figured out their situation. Going underground at this time will only be more dangerous and isolated. Helpless.
<The enemy has broken through the main gate and is advancing inside>
< I know>
Anyway, all the information is frustrating.
The main attack of the battle will be carried out here. The enemy has invested all his remaining strength here, and his troops are only part of the Praetorian Guard. All he can do now is to pray that another supporting army can break through the enemy's blockade and bring If he rescues him, he may be able to force the other party to sit at the negotiating table.
At this time, Soshyan had led the team through the huge prayer hall of the Mechanical Temple. The passage in front widened and more combatants poured out. The sighting systems on their heads became full of energy. Hostile red.
The Terminators moved forward quickly. The fierce firepower erupted from the storm bolters and plasma pistols in their hands shredded everything in front. In addition to the first company, the third company also joined the battle. They walked quickly in Breakthroughs in other channels.
Then Soshyan encountered the first enemy who was not afraid of explosive bombs.
The huge fort-level battle robots stand silently in the passages and halls leading to the upper space of the Mechanical Temple. When the Terminator Company appears in the range, the heavy-punch bombs on their shoulders The cannon roared violently, its movement like an engine going mad with useless code.
The Terminators quickly set up their shields, and the heavy explosive shells that were redirected by the deflection field turned the walls on both sides of the team into rubble and twisted steel supports.
Behind those combat robots, Soshyan saw some short figures wearing long cloaks, reflective metal armor and exquisite fan-shaped helmets. These should be the Praetorian Guards of the Forging Religion.
They look well-equipped and move quickly, but in this mechanical temple, they are just rats trapped in a cage.
Although he felt sorry for these battle robots, Soshyan, who had not made a move for a long time, still drew his sword.
“Cover.”
After saying a few words, Soshyan rushed forward, came to a fortress star at extremely fast speed, and inserted his sharp sword into the rotating port connecting the torso and buttocks. The blade pierced the metal, sinking deep into it, and burst out the other end, sparks of electricity surrounding the hilt.
But the robot did not fall. Instead, it rotated its torso axis and tried to hit Soshyan's breastplate with a concussive impactor like a pliers - the essence of the concussive impactor. In fact, it is a device that can instantly release extremely powerful static electricity. This instant burst of ultra-high-energy static electricity is enough to compare with a powerful lightning strike. Its principle is the same as that of a thunder hammer.
However, Soshyan once again showed terrifying power. With a sharp stroke of his long sword, he cut the body of the battle robot directly from bottom to top. It swayed and waved its fists drunkenly, and finally He let out a violent convulsion and fell to the ground.
But before it fell, Soshyan had already turned to another robot that was trying to shoot it. He punched the other robot's head directly, and then grabbed the other person's body to block the farther shot. During the brief pause when the opponent ceased fire, he threw the huge battle robot over with one hand, causing the two giants to fall to the ground at the same time.
The Terminators also strode forward and eliminated all the combat robots with swords and axes, while the guards were already littered with corpses.
But then something happened that surprised Soshyan.
As if receiving some instructions, all the skitarii and combat robots suddenly stopped resisting and retreated to both sides of the road, allowing Soshyan to walk all the way to the main altar of the Mechanical Temple.
There, he saw Bertus Willibaldes again. Now this great sage was slightly different from what he had seen before. He looked like a believer who was about to be martyred, and also like a man who was not afraid of sacrifice. The warrior stands straight, with a relaxed posture. The mechanical parts on his body are buzzing. The red cloak is fluttering with the artificial wind. The heat exchanger in the carapace-like exoskeleton armor emits excess energy. The machinery in his hand The teaching battle ax emitted lightning and crackling sounds. At this time, he had obviously undergone some combat strengthening. His torso was wrapped in a titanium alloy strong breastplate, his back was also wrapped in similar metal, and his calves and arms were naked and polished. Ceramics, and as an additional layer of hidden protection, a power conversion field is connected to the former stomach cavity, which is enough to block the powerful explosion of the plasma cannon.
However, these measures are no different from being naked in front of Soshyan and have no effect.
"Come on! Butcher! Take my head to please those Reza heretics!"
Soshiyan raised his hand and signaled the Terminators to put down their weapons, and then he put the sword back into its sheath, but He glanced at the sages and technical priests standing by the wall.
Then he sighed softly and said:
"Great Sage Bertus Willivaldes, no one wants this situation to happen. I have been the supreme lord since I Since I became the commander, I have attached great importance to the power of the Mechanicus, and I have tried my best to express my goodwill to Angstrom and you, but what have I gained from this? Scorn, contempt, and disapproval."
"We are just discussing a solution——"
Soshiyang raised his palms and interrupted the other party's explanation.
“I have given enough opportunities and time. Considering that it is a war period now, this is almost a luxury. I don’t have so much time to waste anymore. I also know that if I kill you, I'm afraid this place will self-destruct soon, but I still want to thank you, at least those precious war machines and skitarii were not sacrificed in vain."
