The Empire's surprise attack caught the traitors off guard. A rebel leader-like figure stood up as if to direct a retreat, but his right eye exploded from its socket to make way for the bullet that passed through it, and he opened his mouth to his companions. Shouted never-ending encouragement before a dozen bullets exploded from his chest, cracking and dismembering his torso. Hayes didn't know how many people he shot, but almost all of them were killed, as breathless and desperate as he was, and he didn't know their names.
Until the end, he saw a short figure tremblingly picking up the blood-stained gun. Under the gray-brown hat was a desperate and childish face.
He was probably only twelve or thirteen years old, and his dirty fingers tried hard to lift the rifle that might be a bit heavy for him.
"Don't-"
Hayes just opened his mouth, and the boy's head disappeared in a flash of light. Hayes turned his head and saw Winter holding up the laser gun, gasping in fear.
Then he looked at Hayes and swallowed.
"Monitor, I."
Hayes forced out a smile and patted the other party on the shoulder.
"It's okay, you're just too nervous."
While defeating this wave of enemies, the assault boat had also risen into the air. Hayes and the others then gathered together and moved towards the target point.
They were walking along a track that seemed to be in disrepair, looking at the deserted city in front of them. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Hayes saw a bullet-riddled wooden sign standing on the side, slightly tilted to one side.
The sign's sarcastic greeting made him pause and wonder if he was really where he thought he was.
The sign reads:
Welcome to Happy City.
After retracting his gaze, no matter how intently Hayes stared at the desolate city in front of him, he could not see any movement or any other signs of the enemy.
It still looked as gray, featureless, and lifeless as when I first saw it.
About an hour later, they reunited with the main force of the regiment. Until now, Arni still can’t figure out where the anti-aircraft missiles that attacked them came from. According to the intelligence, the enemies in this world called Blood Diamond Planet are basically all enemies. They were some thugs huddled in mines and ruins, with the occasional abandoned vehicle.
But this world is quite important because there is a special crystal mineral underground - Lantai blood crystal rock salt mine. This mineral can play a very good role in optimizing the promethium refining industry. , is a medium-priced mineral, and the Lantai blood crystal rock salt mine produced here is of high purity. Before the Huron rebellion, it was a planet that was mainly developed by Angstrom, so most of the world's facilities were also They were all built by the Forge World in the past.
After the rebellion, Huron naturally would not do any damage to this cornucopia, and most of the minerals produced by the planet were turned into weapons and equipment made by Angstrom, and were even sold as far away as fear. The Heretic Forging World in the Eye of the Eye is a very important resource producer for the Red Pirates.
So this is why Arash invested three to four million troops in this world. Angstrom has urged the expeditionary force several times to recycle the world to alleviate the promethium content in the current maelstrom area. Tight supply situation.
According to intelligence, this planet should not have too many enemies or too strong resistance. Arash did not arrange for Space Marine support, but only sent out the Astra Militarum, while the main force of the White Templar was solving the only problem in the Bloody Skull Galaxy. A world that can produce palladium, that planet is more important and Soshyan personally ordered that it must be captured quickly, because there seems to be something wrong with the military tickets in the rear, and a large amount of hard currency is urgently needed for stability. Of course, a treasure house will naturally have more powerful ones. Guards, the red pirate defenses in that world are also stronger.
Of course, the soldiers did not know why they were fighting. They only knew that the commander wanted them to come to this cold world to kill any enemy.
Abu Bakari's 310th Infantry Regiment quickly entered Happy City.
This was originally a small city populated by a large number of miners, managers, guards and people who served the mines. Therefore, there were no tall spiers or nest cities. Most buildings were no more than three floors. Streets It is basically composed of cement and gravel. Abandoned mine cars, trucks and trailers can be seen everywhere. Rotten servitors are piled on both sides of the road. Most of the buildings have been destroyed. Attacks by artillery and fighter planes have made there almost nothing worth destroying. Yes. There are no enemies, no targets, and it seems that everyone here has run away.
Gradually, the soldiers and even the officers relaxed. Arni also guessed that there should be no enemies here. After all, the city was not big and there was no place to hide. Then he planned to let the troops rest in the city for a while and plan to attack them. The mines outside the city were blocked.
Occupying the city is only the first goal of their regiment. Afterwards, they have to clean up the mining area. At this time, other imperial troops have also arrived on the ground one after another. Five other troops have been deployed around Happy City. A group, many of them also want to go to the city to repair.
The soldiers began to "seize the land", and complete buildings were the first choice. After all, the ground temperature on this planet during the day was only 17 or 18 degrees, and it would only get colder at night. Coupled with the small wind blowing, No one wants to camp out.
"Hey, look, there is a safe."
Some soldiers soon discovered the "treasure" in the building. Generally, as long as the Astra Militarum is not an important trophy, the commander and political commissar Everyone would turn a blind eye to the soldiers' behavior. Seeing the opportunity to make a small fortune, many people immediately took action to rummage through the boxes and cabinets.
Some soldiers searched the kitchens and warehouses, trying to find something delicious to eat as a tooth festival.
Boom——
When they moved cabinets, safes, and even pots and pans, there were continuous explosions.
As a mineral world, the most indispensable thing is explosives.
"What! What happened!"
Arni, who was sitting at the dining table eating lunch elegantly, heard the explosion. He quickly stood up and walked to the window to look out the window. He saw smoke billowing from many buildings and soldiers rolling and crawling out of the doors and windows. .
“What’s going on!”
Hayes was also confused. At that time, he was also “hunting for treasure” with Hashet, but the experienced Hashet soon discovered that something was wrong. A large number of hidden mines and trip mines have been deployed in the city, and there seem to be hidden secret passages under bed boards, in corners, and even in places such as toilets that are difficult to detect.
Hachet immediately made a judgment. This city built on the mining area has probably been dug through long ago. It is not that there are no enemies, but that the enemies are all underground!
So he quickly ran out of the house with Hayes and summoned the company members, but there were continuous explosions and everyone panicked.
The soldiers held their guns and looked around in panic on the street, but could not see a single figure. At the same time, some officers took out portable auspicious devices, but found that there were a large number of targets flashing around them, even overlapping them——
Phew!
Gunshots rang out, and a soldier in front of Hayes clutched his chest and fell to the ground, but he didn't even know where the enemy was, so he could only pull the nervous Winter and hide against the wall.
咻咻咻咻——
More gunshots rang out from all directions, as if the whole city was boiling. Some people kept screaming and falling down, and some were blindly fighting back, but they were just fighting. Remove some walls.
But it didn't take long for them to discover that there were actually many hidden gun holes in the buildings in the city. The attackers came out of nowhere, hiding in the buildings and shooting at them. For a moment, it seemed as if every brick in the city was covered with bullets. say.
