Chapter 571, One Thousand Meters of Death
"We are still... still... still... 1,000 meters away from the protozoa chamber... in a straight line..."
Lefur, who had been following Martins, his voice became intermittent.
Martins, who had just retreated from the front line of battle, stared at the heroic officer.
Facing his gaze, Lefvre looked a little anxious.
"I...we...have been...interrupted. The Governor's...message transmission cannot...act as soon as possible."
At this point, he seemed to be electrified and his whole body twitched.
After a few seconds, he returned to normal and showed a wry smile to Martins: "The connection is disconnected. I can no longer receive information. I'm sorry."
"I understand." Martins nodded slightly.
His eyes returned to the front.
His battle brothers had just slaughtered another group of enemies who actively attacked them.
And this has been the norm for a long time.
It's hard to count how many enemies the battle group has destroyed on the road, but the enemies are like a tide, they can't be killed at all, but more and more.
And it’s getting more and more elite.
After passing through the triple arch, at first it was just ordinary elite skitarii and modified servitor troops that came to stop them. But as they got closer to the protozoa room, the troops that came to stop the Phoenix were not only extremely numerous, but also had an increasingly high proportion of elites.
Until the recent wave, the quality of the troops had not only reached the level of the battle at the Triple Arch, but the number was much larger, with a large number of conventional troops cooperating, which made the phoenixes quite hard to fight.
So far, of the eight hundred warriors who participated in the war, only less than six hundred remain.
Moreover, there were nearly a hundred seriously injured people who were unable to move.
This is no small burden, but they still persevere. Fifty battle brothers were specially assigned to protect and carry the seriously wounded in the midst of the raging war - towed by a small automatic personnel carrier.
But anyway, they have arrived at the mission location.
The protozoa room is only one thousand meters away from them in a straight line, and they are on the same floor at the moment.
Even looking over, you can see the very tightly sealed steel gate.
However, what stood in front of them was also the most elite force.
As the leader of the entire Ark Fleet, Sage Dubo is of course extremely concerned about his own safety.
Not to mention, the cabin where the neuroprotozoa is housed and imprisoned is also a key part of the ship.
The combination of the two means that the skitarii on the ship will definitely do their best to defend this place.
The venue is not big, so tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops cannot be crammed in here.
If the quantity cannot be increased, then the quality will be increased.
The basilisk robots here are all fragile little characters. The most eye-catching ones are the more than dozens of colossus robots arranged around the protozoa room. Each of them is about the same size as a Space Marine Dreadnought. They hold a thunder hammer and a large shield. Their combat capabilities cannot be underestimated.
Under the powerful strength of the body, even the Terminator Heavy Shield Warrior of the Space Marines may not be able to withstand the heavy hammer of the Colossus.
And these Colossus mechs are just the biggest and most eye-catching.
Among this garrison group, the most powerful ones are those smaller ones.
Battle Priest, Thunder Priest, Tetsuo Mecha - hand-made super elite version...
When Martins led the team here, the enemy took the initiative to attack them.
There is no temptation, no entanglement or hesitation. From the beginning, it is a head-on confrontation with absolute strength.
At this time, bells and whistles won't work. The space is narrow and the mission is urgent. This is a strategic issue; no matter how strong and fierce the firepower carried by the Space Marines is, it can't be as powerful as the best equipment of those oil guys. Long-range combat Boom, that's a sure loss. Only by first enduring casualties and shortening the combat distance to close combat can the effect be achieved.
The phoenixes hope to use psychic teleportation, just like they did with the triple arch before, to directly send the most elite terminators into the enemy's formation first.
But this time, the teleportation failed.
Not unexpected.
The psychic communication between Heroic Spirit Officer Lefur and Gu Hang was blocked, so it was natural that the psychic transmission would be interfered with.
They could only charge hard.
The price is heavy.
Even Martins himself rushed into the enemy formation after the small shield generator shattered.
However, when the two sides closed the distance, the battle finally turned to the Space Marines.
Hundreds of Space Marines, especially the absolute elite among the Space Marines, launched a collective charge that still disrupted the defenders' positions.
Most of the long-range firepower cannot be effective.
Those Tetsuo mechas, the mass-produced versions are just superficial, and they will be beaten in real fights; the Seiko versions can stand up to normal Terminator Space Marines if they are strong enough.
But what they are facing now is not just an ordinary space warrior?
All the elite phoenixes were still very fast in killing these Iron Hero mechs.
The Colossus mecha, which can kill the Phoenixes, cannot get rid of its inflexibility no matter what.
On the battlefield, many Colossus soldiers have fallen.
Those who fell fastest were all targeted by the phoenix holding the phase sword.
Their extremely thick armor was like nothing under the phase sword.
Only those battle priests are more troublesome.
Battle Priests are the products of senior members of the Mechanicus who are at least Mechanic Priests and above, or even at the level of Engine Prophets, who use all their technical abilities to completely transform their bodies in the direction of combat.
None of these real oil guys are mass-produced products, and there is no template. Each one is fully personalized and has a variety of abilities.
Some of their modified bodies are full of firepower, and they will bombard desperately regardless of their own safety and friendly injuries at close range;
Some have transformed themselves into almost pure energy bodies, with high-energy arc flashes;
Some have transformed themselves into super close-quarter killing machines. They don't have enough skills to do it. The eight legs allow them to move flexibly in any direction. The multiple cutting and hammering weapons surrounding them don't require any skills, as long as they get close enough. Distance can cause damage.
Some even have multiple abilities at the same time...
That is to say, the energy shield has no effect in close combat, otherwise they would not be lacking at all.
To be honest, these are the things that actually cause the most trouble.
The Phoenix was in a tough fight.
But Martins, the chapter leader, could no longer control the overall battle situation.
An elite team, led by him, rushed straight towards the steel door.
