Chapter 570, right before your eyes
As a chapter leader, Martins is not the type to stand behind and command. When necessary, he will of course take the lead, rush to the front line, and even take on the most difficult offensive tasks.
At this moment, he was one of the dozen Terminators who were teleported into the enemy's formation.
The green sword light flickered in the enemy formation.
No unit of the Adeptus Mechanicus is his enemy.
As the leader of the Chapter, Martins has already reached the level of the Chapter Champion. After experiencing the duel with the leader of the Wrath Flame Chapter Erso, he experienced a life and death experience and his strength was further improved. .
Moreover, not only is his personal strength level strong, but his equipment has been pushed to the extreme, using almost all of the league's cutting-edge technologies.
He turned sideways to avoid a critical strike from the dragoon's laser spear that hit his face. He slashed horizontally with the giant green sword, cutting off the dragoon's long legs at the knees. He then stepped on them and knocked down the operator who fell to the ground. Trampled to death.
During this process, the phase sword kept moving. One sword fought several times with the chain ax and power sword held by the multiple arms of a basilisk. In a moment, these were also made by Alfonzo Mechanicum. The high-quality weapons that came out were cut off.
By the way, he also cut off the barrels of the two guns that the opponent tried to aim at him face to face, and then stabbed the sword into the head of the basilisk soldier.
The basilisk twitched a few times and then became completely motionless.
There is no doubt that Martins himself is the most efficient among the Phoenix killing machines.
Not only does he have the strongest strength and experience among the entire group, but the green-glowed phase sword in his hand also plays an important role.
Phase weapons are the most advanced among the many technologies that Gu Hang has extracted that can be used to create close combat weapons. Its source may not even be human technology.
After extracting the technology for such weapons from Gu Hang, the Alliance has not been able to achieve mass production of this type of equipment so far. It can only rely on finished black boxes and produce them at a very slow speed.
Moreover, it requires more energy and materials than expected.
As of today, the Alliance has produced less than fifty phase weapons.
Most of them were assembled into the Phoenix Fighting Group.
Under the wielding of a champion master like Martins, the effect it exerts is amazing.
This is not the first time Martins has used this weapon, but it is the first time he has applied it in actual combat.
Its usefulness is beyond expectation.
With a sharp weapon in hand, the murderous intention cannot be stopped.
He slashed down all the enemies in front of him with sword after sword.
When the troops on both sides fell into a melee of close combat, there was little need for command.
The biggest role of Martins is to show his strength as much as possible and kill as many enemies as quickly as possible.
When he killed the twenty-fourth enemy, the battle was over.
All the elite skitarii guarding the triple arch have been wiped out.
Even the enemies who tried to escape in the end were chased and destroyed by the Phoenix.
And the Phoenix paid a heavy price for this.
Of the two hundred soldiers who participated in the battle, there were more than twenty casualties.
This is actually a very low number.
As of now, no one can expect that the road ahead will be smooth sailing. Their whereabouts should have been discovered, and the path behind them will be blocked by the skitarii who are ready to prepare. They are not even able to choose a more secure style of play, otherwise they may be able to reduce a lot of casualties in one battle, but the offensive pressure is here after all. If there is a delay in time, the number of opponents they will face in the future may be numerous. A doubling increase will hinder the entire action plan and even completely fail.
This makes the Phoenixes inevitably choose a high-risk fast-break style of play, and subsequent casualties will definitely be inevitable.
But if they continue fighting at this rate, they will lose twenty people in one battle. How many more battles will they have to fight in the future?
Can they afford such casualties?
How many people can successfully reach the mission location?
This is the shadow that hangs over Martins' heart.
But things can also look on the bright side.
First of all, not all of the more than 20 Phoenix casualties were dead, or even incapacitated.
The ability of Space Marines to withstand damage is much stronger than that of mortals.
It is also a deep puncture injury to the chest and abdomen, or even a puncture to an important organ. For a normal mortal, it is a fatal injury. Even if it does not cause death immediately, medical intervention is necessary.
But if they were replaced by Space Marines, not only would they not lose the ability to move, they could even keep up with the troops and continue fighting after a simple treatment by the pharmacist. If they were to die, their combat effectiveness would be slightly affected.
Such people accounted for half of the casualties.
The remaining half, about ten people, were the real losses. Six men were killed and five were seriously injured and unable to move.
But even with this casualty ratio, we don’t know what the situation will be like if we hit the back.
As for the seriously injured, neither the Alliance nor the Phoenix have the habit of executing seriously injured teammates.
Although it is to reduce the pain and reduce the burden on the team, especially in the current independent raid like Phoenix, it should not be a burden.
But they brought it anyway.
At least, Martins judged, the situation was not that bad yet.
Among their teams, pharmacists can quickly treat and stabilize injuries, and they also have equipment to drag and carry severely injured people who are unable to move. Just arrange a small team to do this.
The facts seem to confirm Martins's judgment.
For example, the skitarii who had just been stationed at the triple arch were already considered the elite among them. Whether it is the smallest Death Slave mech or the most expensive Basilisk mech, the number is generally small.
Although traces of the Phoenix's actions have been discovered, enemies began to appear continuously on the road behind them to block them, but those that were hastily mobilized could only be the nearest, not the strongest.
In fact, the Phoenix's assault speed greatly exceeded expectations.
Many of the temporarily deployed defenders did not even have time to construct positions. They were often directly attacked by the Phoenix in narrow passages or in wide cabins.
There are no bunkers, no vehicles, and a lack of heavy firepower... Such defense is useless to the Space Marines.
As if they were walking on level ground, they used multiple Terminator squads as arrows to penetrate the enemy formation.
Martins always fights on the front line, and the strength he shows is one of the biggest reasons why the Phoenix can move forward unswervingly.
Countless skitarii elites of all types were killed by Martins' phase sword.
Leading the team, they have successfully reached the mission target location.
The protozoa room is right in front of you!
