Chapter 2876 The Power of Absolute Loyalty
“The arrival time of the Tyranid Tentacles is fifteen standard Terran days later than expected.”
At the combat meeting, Soshyan looked at Star Map made a dull sound.
"This is good news. We have more time to build defense facilities. At present, all major defense points have been basically renovated."
As he spoke, he adjusted the star map and focused on Arriving on this planet, there are already many twisted symbols all over the planet's orbit, which means that the tentacles of the Tyranid Hive Fleet have entangled the world.
Surrounding him was a circle of Astartes, Seth and others, as well as various company commanders. Obviously no one particularly cared about why Tyran was "late". After all, this kind of alien is recognized as elusive and has pure beastly thinking. .
Except Soshyan, of course.
This week, as the Scarlet God, he led the Bone Dynasty to fight against the Tyranid Hive Fleet on Winoshi IV. The performance of these skinned ones greatly exceeded his expectations. Their actual performance The combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary skinners, and with the help of that crazy hysterical vision, they can actually establish a basic chain of command. They really regard the enemy as evil dragons and dragon slaves, and skinners The behavior has become a weapon to "clean the battlefield" and collect the enemy's armor. In addition, the structures of the Bone Dynasty also have many unique abilities. Although their number is limited, after all, most of the structures were scrapped as soon as the skinning curse swept through. .
And the most important thing is that the active metals of the Necrons are indeed immune to many of the Tyranids' biological weapons, such as maggot bullets and strong acids, which can be regarded as a certain restraint against the Tyranids.
On the first day of the battle, Soshiyang estimated that the Bone Dynasty had killed at least 50 million gene stealers. Not counting the killings, they had skinned and broken bones and carried them back. It seemed that in their eyes, genes The thieves were not dragons and dragon slaves, but some kind of livestock. Anyway, they used them as "food" and used the portal to bring them back to the tomb world of the Bone Dynasty——
This behavior must have angered the Hive Mind, which immediately spent a lot of money on biomass to create large Tyranid creatures to compete with the Bone Dynasty, and this is exactly what Soshiyan wanted.
The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, and Soshyan had to admit that those large Tyranids were powerful. The Bone Dynasty's losses quickly soared, and tens of thousands of Skinners were destroyed. Although some of them could be restored with the help of scarabs, a considerable number were completely destroyed. According to his Bone Lord, the dynasty lost one-tenth of its soldiers permanently in just the first three days of combat.
If it were in the past, Soshiyang would have been eager to let the Necrontyr and Tyranids consume more, but after seeing the combat performance of the Skinners after their "dynasty", it would be a lie to say that they were not tempted. Not only because of his ability to fight, but more importantly because of his loyalty. Soshiyang believes that the only force he currently has that cannot have any dissent towards him or have any additional motives is the Bone Dynasty, which can unconditionally fight for him. No matter what his identity is, even if he tells Lord White Bones that he is the Phoenix King, the other party will not express anything. Even when the dynasty makes great sacrifices, it still expresses its desire to Soshiyang for the Scarlet God. And dying in battle is honorable.
Where can I find such a group of people who don’t care about race or identity, but are simply loyal to him?
That is to say too much. Not everyone in the Eleventh Legion that he personally led will obey him. Even when some of his secrets are exposed, how many people will raise weapons against him? It's hard to say. At this time, Soshyan really understood that Perturabo was far away from his children and chose to use the hoop robot as a guard. This was an absolute sense of security brought by absolute control, and it also meant that Perturabo at that time Labo is actually very insecure. As for Soshyan himself, he is not sure whether he is insecure, but it is also true that he lacks trust and confidence in many things and people now, and he will not deceive himself.
So he really couldn't bear to let the White Bone Dynasty suffer. In terms of their strength, they are enough to be used as a secret move or trump card when unexpected events occur in the future, so Soshiyang asked the White Bone King to They curbed their offensive and focused on attacking the Tyranid units that recycled biomass, as well as the digesters they built on the ground.
The Necrontyr's advantages over the Tyranids are multi-faceted. They are not only immune to many biological attacks, but their mobility is also far superior to Tyranid creatures. Relying on the way of fighting and running quickly, the Bone Dynasty is in a Forty-nine large digesters were destroyed in one day, repeatedly hindering the Hive Fleet's efforts to absorb the world.
But Tyran is indeed the most flexible hunter. According to the characteristics of the Skinner, it quickly responds. The first is that it no longer sends those expensive node creatures to attack the Bone Dynasty. Because of its high-end combat power, Neither the Executioner nor the Tyrant is a match for the Elite Skinners or even the Crowned Generals. In addition, the Necrontyr's long-range weapons, especially the Particle Whip and Gauss Cannon, are very effective against the Tyranids' chitinous carapace, so the Hive The consciousness directly chose not to "send lives", but sent a large number of "artillery units".
That’s right, they are large projectile creatures such as flame worms, gland worms, and life-eating worms. They appear in groups. Whenever the skinners want to attack the digester, they will first Use small creatures to entangle the skinners, and then the artillery creatures release devastating bombardments from a long distance - fire bombs, plasma and spore mines attack overwhelmingly, causing annihilation in a wide area.
Although this tactic will cause a certain loss of small creatures, it will also deal a heavy blow to the Bone Dynasty. In particular, the Skinners destroyed by this kind of bombardment are often difficult to resurrect.
In addition to artillery, the Tyranids have also separately organized a special "gun team", which is composed of insect nest guards and holy prostitute bugs. The skinners can ignore the shooting of gun bugs and even warrior bugs. But when faced with the direct firepower of these two large Tyranid creatures, one cannot ignore it, because they all hold weapons aimed at armored targets. Once hit, even the Ghost Ark will capsize.
Of course, the Bone Dynasty also has countermeasures. In fact, the Bone Dynasty also has the weapons that the Necrontyr Dynasty has in its arsenal, but most of them have lost the function of independent control. In addition, the majority of Skinners are indeed Not suitable for use with vehicles.
But Soshyan is different now.
He unexpectedly discovered that those silver nematodes had an incredible fit with the structures and vehicles of the Necrontyr, and could even enter the body of the Skinner. This discovery not only surprised him, but also made him speculate. , the purpose of that guy named Vashtor in creating this kind of thing is probably not just to control the hulk.
In any case, this means that he has mastered a method that can "selectively" deform the Skinner. Thanks to the active metals that make up the Necrontyr's body, they are actually very malleable, otherwise there would not be so many The strange appearance, and the appearance of this kind of rickety claws comes from the natural distortion of their deep instinct to imitate the Star God Skinner. Although it is very powerful, it is too monotonous in the end, and there will still be many disadvantages in the battle. Influence.
