In order to effectively suppress the firepower of those obelisks, the company commanders of the White Temple formulated corresponding strategies. According to the intelligence sent by Soshyan, the only way to deal with this weapon was to continuously focus on attacking one of its locations. Only by penetrating critical systems and internal structures with armored shells can we hope to end its threat.
So the Space Marine commanders specifically concentrated all the Krios self-propelled artillery from the Adeptus Mechanicus. This was the largest number of heavy artillery in the Forge World. They were hidden behind the battle lines, just waiting for the enemy's attack. An even more terrifying obelisk appears.
However, due to the extremely fast fire counterattack speed of the enemy, these killer weapons cannot be thrown out easily. You need to wait for the enemy's offensive attention to be focused on other aspects.
The reorganized artillery position roared again, and fired firepower several times more powerful than before.
In an instant, the surging firepower set off purgatory-like flames on the undead position. Piles of undead warriors were blasted to pieces and turned into fragments that spiraled into the sky, but there would be more undead immediately. Just to take over, countless scarabs emerged from the body of the underworld spider, crawled on the battlefield filled with artillery fire, and dragged the metal body behind to reassemble.
At the same time, the manticores also began to fire rounds at the huge pyramids. Thousands of missiles were smashed into the towering alien land fortress regardless of the cost. Those weird floating pyramids also responded and released The dazzling electric arc destroyed many missiles in mid-air, and caused a considerable number of missiles to lose their accuracy and hit the surrounding infantry array, setting off a storm of destruction, but a considerable number still exploded when approaching or hitting the pyramid.
The violent impact caused some alien airships floating in the air to be overturned. One-third of the pyramids suffered obvious damage, and some even had the entire upper part shattered.
Faced with this situation, the Necron commander seemed to realize that these humans were not easily destroyed, so a larger and more terrifying war fortress slowly emerged from the underground in a dazzling green light. emerge.
One appears on almost every battlefield, with a huge energy matrix crystal on top, installed on the top of the pyramid.
It towered among those ordinary pyramids. When it sensed the distant artillery fire, those crystals began to glow with an unknown light, and then released countless destructive rays before humans even had time to react. An arc of antimatter lightning—at that moment, half the sky of the Forge World was illuminated.
The huge energy waves released in the form of Gaussian annihilators swept across the human artillery positions. In just a blink of an eye, all living people and their weapons were turned into ashes. There was no explosion, no roar, and silently. All that remains is a dead desert.
In one minute, mankind lost 30,000 artillery pieces of various types, and the remaining artillery was forced to maneuver. This opportunity also came from the flaws of the enemy's weapons-these giant obelisks exploited The way it consumes energy is extremely consuming, and it needs to absorb the energy of other small obelisks around it for replenishment.
And this is the opportunity the commanders are waiting for.
More than three thousand Krios self-propelled artillery, escorted by the Skitarii, slowly drove out of their hidden positions. Their large lightning cannons began to charge rapidly. Under the unified dispatch of the sages, , aiming directly at those giant obelisks.
Half a minute later, the sky of the forging world was lit up by thunder again, but this was the angry thunder from humans.
The huge roar shattered the arrogance of the Necron, and the majestic energy gathered into an energy beam that was as winding as a dragon, causing turbulent waves on the alien position.
In such a violent turmoil, the black pyramids collapsed into countless fragments and rubble, falling on the heads of the metal undead, causing the Necron Lords to roar with rage. Also furious are the human commanders, because their real target has not been solved. Due to its extremely rare occurrence, the Harlequins' intelligence did not mention this matter - this giant obelisk has a phase bias. The mover can transfer the attacks it receives to the surrounding small obelisks.
So although this shelling directly shattered more than twenty obelisks, it did not actually destroy a giant obelisk.
The only good thing is that interrupting their energy-absorbing process gave the artillery time to move, and the Necrons also realized that they also needed to take the enemy in front of them seriously.
The battle lines between the two sides began to draw sharply.
On the human side, Leman Russ and Malcador drove slowly past, one horse in front of the other, and after stopping, they fired at their opponents.
Each bombardment would set off a waterfall of metal fragments and dust, and in response, the Necron Doomsday Ark far behind began to fire at the humans' heavy armor - it had the same characteristics as the Haunted Ark. The basic appearance of the ark, but the main purpose of the latter is to transport Necron warriors and perform repairs, while the Doomsday Ark exists only to bring destruction to the enemies of the Necron. The doomsday cannon it is equipped with can easily destroy the Empire's strongest weapons. Armor.
As the alien's doomsday cannon fires, the air fills with hissing beams of light from the shimmering mysterious weapon.
Then a beam of light passed across the side of a Leman Russ, and instantly penetrated the second one. The residual power even affected the infantry dozens of meters away, and their flesh and blood was instantly evaporated. and armor made the soldiers scream in agony.
Humans also responded with fierce artillery, but the Ghost Ark was protected by a quantum barrier. This barrier usually did not appear until the moment of deflection.
Then it was time for the Mechanicum's war machinery to exert its power. After completing the firing data calibration behind the battle line, Ekvolia's Death Troopers lowered their bodies into deployment mode, and then launched their huge plasma cannons. Quickly charge up the energy and shoot at the Doomsday Ark that is firing - its biggest flaw is that the main gun takes up almost all the energy and cannot move when firing. It is a fixed target.
Soon, dazzling plasma was projected far behind the Necron, and then energy fountains rose into the sky one after another, mixed with large black metal fragments.
It was at this time that the Necron infantry came into Kessler's sight. They used their Gauss guns to shoot at tanks and temporary bunkers. He watched with his own eyes as a Leman Russ was being destroyed. Green gauss fire lit.
And they also shot at the enemies, attacking the heads and chests of the aliens, so as to make them "exit" with the greatest efficiency.
The armor and shields they originally thought were very strong were meaningless in front of the opponent's weapons. They were torn apart like paper, and the flesh inside was directly incinerated and penetrated.
There is no room for grace and skill, weapons skills and techniques spent time practicing on the training ground. The air is torn by screams and the clash of steel. The stench of blood, The smell of viscera and the excrement of the dead almost suffocated Kesal. The casualties of the auxiliary army began to soar in the tens of thousands, and the entire battalion and regiment disappeared from the battle damage list at the speed of water.
In the end, everything was so cruel that it was pushed to its peak when the monsters wielding huge blades rushed forward.
