Chapter 617, Death of Forging General
Five minutes is a bit urgent.
But generally speaking, it's still within Moretti's plan.
It would be best if Farai could be killed while the fleet was in the air.
I couldn't kill him directly, but I at least forced him out.
This is the scheduled battle location, and the Space Marines have carefully explored it beforehand. The place where Farley escaped was the safest location, but it was also the most familiar place that Moretti checked.
Even before the ambush started, there was a small team of New World Torches stationed inside.
Farai hid in it, which was exactly what he wanted.
However, don't be too careless.
The sages of the Mechanicus have a huge difference in combat effectiveness. The specific combat power depends on the modification intensity of the sage. After all, a considerable number of mechanical sages have their bodies modified to make it easier for scientific research and production of some sophisticated products. Fighting is not their specialty.
Of course, accessories and body modifications are not fixed like a mortal body, but can be changed at any time. A sage who carries out intensive scientific research in his own research institute will definitely carry different modifications when he goes out on adventures and participates in wars.
Has Farley now modified himself into a 'fighting stance'?
No intelligence mentioned this.
But there is nothing wrong with treating the enemy with a forgiving attitude.
Ten space warriors, even if they are all veterans or sergeants, may not be able to defeat a sage in a fighting posture.
Moretti and La Crocha, with their men, quickly surrounded the factory.
Inside, there were sounds of fighting.
But it's getting thinner.
Moretti felt a little uncomfortable.
The original plan was to wait until the other battle brothers were in place and block the factory area before entering. The ten veterans inside can just hold Fa Lai back.
But it looks like it won’t work, and we can’t wait until then.
If the brothers inside were killed, Farley might be able to escape from any exit before the encirclement was completed. At that time, if you are caught in a pursuit battle, the time required to resolve the battle will become immeasurable. It is hard to say whether the problem can be solved in five minutes.
Although the mission did not fail immediately after five minutes, after all, they could continue to kill Fa Lai despite the steady stream of enemy reinforcements, but that would increase the difficulty and the probability of failure.
After a brief explanation with La Crocha, Moreau took the lead into the battlefield with his own bodyguards.
Then he knew he was in the right place.
Ten Space Marines had been killed down to two. They are still struggling to support themselves. Without foreign aid, they are not far from death.
At this moment, Farai was indeed in a fighting posture. The red and black robes of Alfonzo's sect had disappeared, and his body was completely exposed. It looked like a huge snake, with its lower body squirming on the ground in a special way, and it could also stretch and contract freely, making it appear quite flexible.
The upper body generally looks like a human being, except that there are many arms extending from the body, equipped with various weapons.
The most striking ones are the two biological blades that look like mantises. This thing is different from the weapons commonly seen used by mechanical sages. It is not made of steel, but more like it is made of some kind of biological material, like the blade of a mantis.
In addition, one of his hands held a long staff, which looked like a long living insect with its head still squirming. The psychic power radiated out from it, making the Space Marines who fought against him feel as if their bodies were rusty, making it difficult to move.
As Moretti roared in and charged in, one of the two remaining veterans was immobilized by the spiritual energy of the insect staff. Immediately afterwards, a stream of acid sprayed on his body, and the power armor made a stinging sound; then, two mantis knives slashed at him crosswise. The strong Terminator armor has become slightly fragile due to previous corrosion, and the strength of these two giant mantis blades is even more powerful. When the two items were superimposed, the cavalry terminator was also papery, and the interstellar warrior was cut into three pieces.
"Traitor!" Moretti yelled angrily, and what greeted him was a series of fire bombardments.
On Sage Farai's body, three or four living cannons extend from his body. The biological rays ejected not only produce a high-energy explosion effect, but also have a strong corrosive effect.
While charging at full speed, Moretti still had enough energy to observe when the living cannon barrel was sticking out, so he dodged in advance. At the same time, he could also slash with the phase sword in his hand to kill some unavoidable rays. .
However, the personal guards who followed him did not have such skills. It's okay to be wearing Terminator armor. If you get hit, it's just a small pit corroded out of the armor. As long as you don't get hit continuously, you'll be fine for the time being. However, a Space Marine wearing ordinary tactical power armor cannot withstand it. After being shot several times in succession, he will die on the spot.
During the charge, the bolters in the hands of the Space Marines hit him, but they only caused a ripple on his void shield, which was not enough to break it.
I'm afraid I won't be able to rely on bullets. Under the premise that Farai is protected by a void shield, it will take a long time to break through. What's more, in terms of firepower, Farai's firepower as a single individual is probably more powerful than the dozen or so Space Marine guards who rushed in combined. His special biological rays are incomprehensible.
Moretti realized this from the beginning, and he never stopped from beginning to end, just to charge into Farley's face and use the phase sword to end the fight.
Seeing that the biological ray could not stop Moretti, Farai was also a little anxious.
He half-turned around, preparing to respond, but at this moment, the only survivor among the ten Space Marines previously deployed in the factory area suddenly jumped up and slashed at him with the chain sword.
Farai couldn't avoid it, but he was able to catch the damage with a shoulder blade-like position, and then stabbed straight through with a sharp blade, piercing him from the waist and abdomen. With biological toxins poured into it, it can almost be said that this soldier is certain to die.
The strong paralysis of the biotoxin will cause him to completely lose all ability to move within a few breaths; then, the heart, muscles, blood vessels, and brain that have been forcibly sedated will all become incapacitated. As long as the time is slightly longer, there will be no solution. Medicine, that is permanent death.
But at the last moment before the paralysis took effect, he still took out the plasma pistol hanging on his thigh with difficulty. There was no time to store energy, but the distance was too close, and even the muzzle of the gun was inside the void shield, so the power was considerable.
Farai, who had a hole in his body, ignored the damage and dropped the dead Space Marine. He turned his head and slashed at Moretti with his pair of mantis knives, trying to force him back.
But at this moment, a ghostly figure appeared beside Farai. That was LaCrocha wearing the power armor of the Goddess of Mercy.
With the help of Moretti's charge and the temporary counterattack of the Space Marines, La Crocha quietly approached the blind spot that Farai could not observe.
When Farley was alarmed, La Crocha was already closer than Moretti.
And the explosive power he displayed in an instant was even more surprising!
In almost a moment, he stepped into a position close to the void shield.
A high-energy plasma rifle fully charged with energy, the muzzle of the gun was inserted into the void shield and then activated.
The plasma beam accurately penetrated Farai's body.
It's not fatal, but the void shield generator is broken.
A small explosion occurred inside Farai's body. At the same time, in the smoke, the explosive shells fired by the Space Marines, which were originally in vain, all hit him, making all the resistance and counterattack that Farai had prepared come to nothing.
Under the suppressed fire, Moretti completed the final blow.
The phase sword slashed several times in the blink of an eye. Now cut off the pair of mantis knives, then cut off Fa Lai's head, and then cut the head in half in the air, and then slashed his body with several swords, fully dismembering him.
After a set of actions, in just a few seconds, the sage of the Alfonzo sect and the general of the Aramita Forge World died.
Panting slightly, Moretti glanced at the battlefield.
The ten soldiers who were previously deployed here were all killed.
But at this price, it was still worthwhile to gain Farley's life.
However, the biggest goal of the battle group's operations on the ground has been achieved.
Next, he contacted all parties in an orderly manner.
On the one hand, he wants to know what the current status of the battle situation is in other places.
On the other hand, he also wanted to inform the Alliance agents that their mission was completed. Next, we have to find a way to evacuate people.
At this moment, reinforcements from the Mechanicum also arrived. They launched a fierce attack on the Space Marines guarding the factory area, while ninety people from the New Age Torch and dozens of Honor Guards defended here.
Even though there were a large number of besiegers, and there were many high-level elite soldiers among them. Even after the first wave of offensives was repelled, ferocious artillery fire fell from the sky, almost covering the entire factory area...
But at the end of the battle, the casualties among the Space Marines were still low.
At the cost of the elite fragments of the Mechanicus all over the ground, seven more Glory Guards and nine Torch Warriors died.
Moretti was already thinking about whether he should continue to hold on or simply lead others to break out.
At this time, the alliance agent finally received a reply.
"Throw Farley's body out, they will understand when they see it."
The ferocious attacks of the Mechanicus also stopped at this time.
It seems it's done.
Moretti walked out in person, and he and the torch warriors he led dragged out a pile of body fragments.
As for the Mechanicus, the floating, reconnaissance servo skull saw this scene and faithfully transmitted the picture back.
Immediately afterwards, the Skitarii began to retreat.
At this point, Moretti can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, good news came one after another.
All the assassination operations on the ground in Alamita were successful.
Counting him, the total casualties of the New World Torch were no more than forty.
Although this number of casualties made people somewhat heartbroken, Moretti still smiled.
The first important battle of the New Age Torch to wash away sins is a good start after all!
However, his good mood did not last long.
Here comes the bad news:
"Our attack on the star port is not going well and we need support!"
