Chapter 350 Atris Hive (4)
The demon army began to attack, and their assault tanks were hung with oversized lights, illuminating the entire outer wall of the hive.
The planetary defense troops were blinded by the light and put on refractor goggles.
"Everyone listen to the order and close one eye." Yifeng responded quickly.
"Artillery units, blow out their lights."
The hive city's artillery fire moved in response to the order, concentrating firepower and began to destroy the lights at the front of the enemy's line. Those lights are like cannonball indicating points. They were originally demons sent to death to cover the demon army behind them.
The dark demon that followed behind him was filled with all kinds of metal blades and spikes. Chain saws always appeared in unexpected places, such as teeth, armpits, and inside the body...
I devil need to eat? Need to eat by mouth? Teeth are just a way of killing.
After the artillery fire blasted large craters into the ground, the hard "illuminator" tanks uniformly turned off their lights.
The mortal warriors wore "sunglasses" and were instantly plunged into darkness. They immediately opened the other eye that had been closed and took off the sunglasses.
Black smoke surrounded the battlefield, reducing visibility to a certain level for mortals.
It makes people confused in a short period of time. Has their vision recovered?
Yifeng heard a familiar sound, the sound of an engine that the White Scars would never forget.
"Target, straight ahead, level shot, fire!"
The "Motorcycle Demon" charged all the way under the cover of black smoke, but the oncoming laser rain penetrated his chest, the wheels exploded, and engine oil flowed all over the ground.
Continuous explosions occurred, and an enemy stepped on the minefield arranged in front of the position. However, they were too fast. The speed of the motorcycle demon was comparable to that of the White Scar children. The wheels had already run over ten meters before the mine exploded.
The Dark Mechanicum's corruption is interfering with the mines.
Yifeng jumped up with all his strength. Before the enemy emerged from the thick smoke, the demon speeding hundreds of yards seemed to have taken the initiative to place its head on the Key of Herek.
The demon passed in front of Yifeng, one came and the other two passed.
The mortals relied on their absolute trust in Yifeng to withstand this raid. The dense array of laser guns and turrets caused heavy casualties to these demons whose defenses were not strong.
The training of the political commissar was still effective. The combat prowess of the planetary defense forces allowed them to hide under the tunnels. The swords swung by the motorcycle demons failed to find their targets. Only a few enemies who used long whips threw out their weapons and smashed the mortal warriors to pieces with one whip. .
The undulating position blocked the motorcycle frenzy. This position was built very exquisitely. Hidden firepower points began to output, and the enemies trapped in the depressions were killed by concentrated fire.
, the counter-charge blocking played some role, many demons were blocked there, the metal mesh got caught in the wheels, and the ion arrester blocked the motorcycle demons.
Vashtor gave the warriors no chance to breathe.
The next wave of offensive almost came out with the exhaust gas emitted by the last motorcycle.
Cavalry, all kinds of cavalry, not just horses, but also other powerful beasts from all over the galaxy. Their bodies are covered with metal connectors. The "mount" and "rider" are welded together. They will always be there. On the way to charge.
The front of the metal cavalry is welded with all kinds of brutal spikes, some of which are particularly huge, and their weapons are still shining with the light of disintegrating their stance.
Vashtor's creativity seemed to be endless. These metal cavalry pushed past the ion arrester, rushed under the high wall, and then jumped to the position.
An ion bullet came towards me and exploded in the face of the big demon charging at the front. The entire upper body disappeared, but the "mount" was still charging, its power spikes flashing and hitting Yifeng's blade.
Straight thrust, upward thrust.
The demon's huge body rushed into Yifeng's arms. The giant fine gold hand caressed its cold body full of barbs and blades, and slapped it into pieces.
The subspace was preparing to drag it back to the chaotic world, and more demons rushed over beside the remains.
The front line was maintained with difficulty, and the fearful hearts of ordinary people would be completely calmed down just by taking a look at the golden giant walking uprightly on the front line.
The metal cavalry rushed into the position. Some soldiers squatted in the trenches and could see the black mounts flying overhead. The crossfire of the heavy explosive turret kept destroying the enemy, but the opponent was too fast and rushed over in the blink of an eye. Deep in the position.
While the mechanical priest was chanting, he took out a metal card from under his robe and inserted it into the body of the Skitarii on the side.
Several giant elite skitarii began to burst out with intense firepower. The normal "Ogryn" figure of the skitarii suddenly shattered, the artificial skin was torn apart by the internal device, and more muzzles protruded from the body, buttocks The thick steel plate fell off, and the pop-up fixed rod was inserted into the earth.
The four legs are fixed, and the cannon fire reaches the sky.
For a moment, it was unclear which side was the demon of Vashtor.
The skitarii and forts formed the second round of solid defense. The metal cavalry fell in front of them. When each enemy fell, the surging energy core began to overload, causing a powerful explosion.
Demons are not afraid of death, especially after doing so, and Vash'Tor will help them recover.
These guys kept attacking and falling. A large group of cavalry was almost annihilated by the Skitarii on the same front. They self-destructed, creating a deep and wide gap between the high fort where the Mechanicus priests were stationed and the forward position. A large ditch separated the front and rear positions.
The engineers immediately started working. Several senior servitors fired with guns, and the junior ones had already jumped into the ditch with an engineer shovel.
There were a few places that were not blasted, and behind Yifeng was a safe lifeline.
Yifeng kept swinging his sword, sending strange-looking demons back to the subspace. The support from the air-based platform was sparse and loose, scattered on the fan-shaped battlefield. The impact of these cavalry made Yifeng's energy and blood confused. One or two would be fine. , this group of metal cavalry is a real cavalry charge, and the cluster impact puts Yifeng in a state of danger at all times.
Yifeng hasn't used Tai Chi moves for a long time, but now his sword swings are clearly inherited and khan, and the form and meaning have become Tai Chi's true meaning.
In Yifeng's eyes, the dense demons were not a black tsunami, but individual strong individuals. He circled around every enemy with a steady pace, a combination of strength and softness, and every thrust hit the vital point.
Every enemy who rushed past Yifeng fell to the ground, and their bodies rolled a few times on the battlefield before disappearing.
The tremors of the earth became more and more obvious. After this cavalry charge, the position was in pieces, forming a cone shape headed by Yifeng.
The mortals' counterattack was very heroic. Anti-armor bombs and plasma guns organized counterattacks in an orderly manner, destroying the enemies whose "mounts" fell one by one but whose "riders" were still alive.
This is also the shortcoming of the two things being welded together. The cavalry cannot move and are carried in the pit. They can be killed with projectile mortars or air burst bombs.
Before the mortals had time to rebuild the fortifications, the subsequent demonic troops began to follow.
The remaining lighting tanks turned on their headlights again, and they were flashing bright lights. The reason why they dared to be so arrogant was because there were demons entangled in the hive's firepower.
The air-based weapons array is firing. They are quick reaction firepower, ready to fill the firepower window area caused by the breach of position at any time, but they are now in trouble, there are too many flying demons.
All kinds of flying demons entangled us, making it impossible for many cannons deployed on the outer layer of the hive to accurately aim at their targets.
The enemy tank troops can start to advance unscrupulously, with only sporadic shells falling on their sides.
Explosions came one after another, which was the sound of the remaining landmines being blown away, as if every inch of the land had been turned over by the demon army.
Some metal knights fell to the ground. They were the unlucky ones whose "mounts" were killed by landmines. Covered by the spiritual power of the Dark Mechanical God, the mines were still successfully triggered. This could only be attributed to their bad luck.
The huge tanks rolled over their remains and sent these useless demons back to the subspace. The hard tanks in the front row blocked the lasers that were constantly being fired, which was not painful for them.
The demon army followed the tanks, and there were many semi-mechanized and fully mechanized ones. This was Vashtor's regular army.
Yifeng could see the shaking demon turret in the distance.
Mortals were blinded by the continuous flashing lights. They tried to find the optical properties of this lighting, but no matter how they were tested, the instrument results showed that this was "physical" full-wavelength light.
Yifeng yelled in the communication channel. There was finally no layer of subspace fog between him and the friendly forces, and the order was clearly transmitted to the rear.
"The mortar troops followed my order and all hid under the trench, no heads allowed, and prepared to launch."
At the same time, Yifeng also shouted to the other two Astartes: "Political Commissar, immediately inspect various areas in the hive. The enemy's infiltration troops may have begun to take action." Yifeng believed that the flashing light on the tank was a warning sign lurking in the hive. All signals from the enemy within.
There are only three adamantine warriors guarding biological organs in the entire Atris, one on each side of the two hives and the far north base, and a political commissar wearing a Mark X armor.
When Yifeng came to Atris for inspection, he didn't bring Wei Jun with him. No one knew that he would be beaten while strolling around the living room at home.
Yifeng could think that if he could survive this time, Situ Waer would probably tie him to the back of Weijun, and even if he slept, ten strong men might be crowded together.
Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it.
After coming back to his senses, "Let go!"
The heavy mortars neatly crossed the sky and fell into the enemy group. Several of the flashing lights went out. Ion bombs and plasma gun bullets streaked across the sky, and the enemy lights went out.
The Daemons also achieved their goal of letting the hardened tanks take most of the damage closer to the hive, rather than the infantry.
The crippled tanks did not return to the warp, these were not demons, these were transformed from the remains of armored vehicles on the road.
Fire support demons crouched behind the wreckage, firing missiles from these metal bunkers.
Behind the blazing tank, missile nests quietly rose up, and then silver-gray warheads dragged cold tail flames towards them.
The heavy siege troops began to advance. These demons were all the elites of Vashtor. They were huge and wore strong armor. Their flesh and blood were like decorations, and all driving was done by electronic muscle bundles. Mortar shells are harmless to them, and only plasma guns can cause substantial damage.
A group of heavily armored Ogryns.
This is Yifeng's evaluation of them.
"Anti-armor troops prepare!"
A row of soldiers rushed along the trenches to the front row. There were not enough melta guns and plasma guns. After all, they were just Planetary Defense Guards and "abandoned". Most of them carried anti-tank bombs and a few melta bombs.
The soldiers wanted to stick to the trench, but were stopped by the political commissar, although he only had one mouth left to move.
With the intensity of the war now, if your body is pressed against the ground, your internal organs will be shattered.
At this difficult moment, suddenly, the gate of the hive city opened.
The General Political Commissar sent a support force. He took an overview of the situation from the nest and immediately discovered the abnormal number of demons in front of Gate No. 1.
Two Emperor Baneblade tanks (Category II) and a brigade of elites were filled into the position. As soon as they entered the position, the terrifying firepower of the Emperor's Baneblade was unleashed. The main guns and secondary guns opened fire at the same time, and the heavily armored demon infantry was launched. He was killed in the alternating light and dark power of the Omnissiah.
The demons that barely broke into the void shield range jumped into the trench. Because they were too big, their heads were still exposed. They used soul flamethrowers to burn the warriors in the tunnel, and every time they burned to death, their souls died in vain. It will all become flamethrower fuel.
After losing several soldiers who charged bravely with bombs, the Mortal Expendables began to change their strategies and put sticky bombs into use. These bombs can be attached to metal and are equipped with magnetic suction cups, sticky surface substances, and interactive locks... ....The large amount of extra material makes it undercharged and heavy to throw.
Yifeng issued an order to let the soldiers conserve their vitality and consume the opponent's numbers at the expense of the depth of the position.
During the constant pulling, the enemy injured by the sticky bomb fell to the ground, and the flesh and blood tissue on his body began to randomly grab various metals and integrate them into his body to repair himself. Yifeng and the melt bomb team took this opportunity to start killing the enemy with precision. people.
During the brief moment of entering the Void Shield, the power of the subspace will be blocked by the Void Shield. Before the number of opponents is insufficient to support the new warp fog, the artillery fire of the Emperor's Baneblade will cause huge damage to them.
The newly entered firepower is slowly regaining the battle situation. The anti-aircraft artillery fire on the tanks and the space-based weapon platform formed a crossfire to strangle the flying demons. The liberated cannons can bombard land enemies and relieve the pressure on the tanks.
A positive cycle has been formed, and Yifeng sees the reversal of the battle situation.
"Everyone is here, stick to your current position and prepare for counterattack."
Half of the first-line position had been taken out, and he could see "crowds of people" in the tunnel.
"Sir, the space-based platform is ready for volley."
"put!"
The anti-gravity weapon platform suspended in the sky organized a salvo, and the firepower instantly covered all the forward positions occupied by the demons.
"Charge and retake our position."
Yifeng took the lead and jumped into the ditch. The long sword rotated. Every turn would cut through the enemy's thick armor. Every time the adamantine leg armor landed, it would crush the "heart" of a demon. Sometimes it was the beating flesh and blood. , sometimes it’s a roaring engine, and sometimes it’s a whirlpool of engine oil.
The number of sacrifices was increasing. Every time Yifeng killed a demon, several mortals in other areas were hammered into meat pies by the demons.
The machine spirit of our bombs is unstable, especially when it is attached to the enemy's body. Sometimes, the enemy has fallen to the ground, but the sticky bomb we threw did not explode until the soldiers holding the melt bombs just rushed up. At that time, it was deliberately detonated by the devil, all in order to consume our manpower and materials.
Vashtor was not in a hurry, and even the Demon Prince didn't attack. How could it be considered a general attack?
The warp holes no longer rain down the demons of the Lord of the Forge, but are replaced by more demons working for him.
Those demons either came for better weapons, to become demonic engines, or for the help Vashtor promised, they volunteered to become his mercenaries.
It is impossible for these guys to charge towards Yifeng who is wrapped in the bones of more than a dozen nuns without fear of death, but they must be very happy to let them destroy other hives.
The entire planet became such a weird scene. Beside Hive No. 2, in addition to the demons of Nurgle (who hates machinery and whose power corrodes metal), all kinds of demons appeared on the attacking side, and sometimes they would fight among themselves.
Nest City No. 1 is an all-machine army, and the purpose of the attack is clear.
This wave of demonic attacks was blocked, and the survivors hid behind the wreckage of the tanks and engaged in a stalemate with the planetary defense forces.
The cost of counterattack was higher than Yifeng estimated.
The situation outside is also worse.
The mineral base had no way to transport the minerals to the hive, or even defend it. The defenders made a final struggle. The heavy transport vehicle was larger, heavier and harder than the tank. It could even directly hit the knight mecha. They destroyed all The minerals were loaded onto the vehicle, blowing up the mine tunnels and empty warehouses. Dozens of heavy-duty transport vehicles rushed out, until the machine soul screamed, the outer armor shell was peeled off, and the number of demons exiled under the wheels reached an unimaginable number. After being blown up as expected, the transport vehicle finally became unable to move.
When the devil climbed onto the transport truck unscrupulously, enjoying the fruits of victory, the driver's soul and the transport team's minerals were woven together and integrated into his own body.
The last commissar pressed the detonation button.
High explosives used to blow up mountains were piled in transport trucks under massive amounts of minerals.
The transport convoy that rushed into the middle of the demon group exploded violently. The metal minerals exploded at a speed like cannonballs, penetrating the enemy's "body" and sending countless demons back to the subspace.
The number of Vashtor demons responsible for capturing the mines has been greatly reduced. They lack the power to absorb the souls of mortals. As a result, the remaining demons do not have enough power to extract metals from the minerals scattered on the ground.
There are minerals all over the ground. They stuff minerals into their chests one by one. Every time they stuff one, one leaks out from behind, like a wealth demon who is always counting money and a gluttonous demon with only skeletons left.
They wander here forever until they are banished.
The blood rain polluted the river, and the farms outside the hive also lost contact.
Vashtor believed that he had completely sealed off the hive, and that as long as the siege continued, the opponent would be defeated without attack.
......
You underestimate us!
The self-circulation of water storage and food storage in the hive city has reached the extreme. Even the manure will be put into the internal planting plant after retting. The reason why the hive city has expanded so much is that it not only has factories and large warehouses, but also plantations. And the corpse starch factory!
(Corpse starch is originally made from a by-product of promethium production, and very few corpses are actually added.)
The General Political Commissar ordered the demolition of the icons, followed by the churches that deceived the empire. These buildings that seemed to have "cultural attributes" were all made of explosive materials and weapons-grade materials, and would be smelted into ammunition during wartime.
We will fight calmly to the last soldier, with plenty of firepower and plenty of food.
This has been the thought and construction from the beginning.
In order to hold on until the arrival of large force support.
........
Baina Pao flew rapidly in the subspace. As I said before, strictly speaking, our home is in the Great World, and Bainapao’s favorite think tank, Li Anjun, is also responsible for the expansion plan of the Great World.
Baina Pao rushed all the way back to Atris from the world, and casually threw a "prophecy" to Sisyphus and other prophetic think tanks.
There is no guarantee that Sisyphus will receive it, but there should be no problem with the think tank from the Psionic University, but its status is not enough.
Our war group has never believed in prophecies.
The little robe floated far away from Atris. The surrounding subspace blockade was too strong, and the power of the evil god blocked this place.
Bainapao spun around anxiously. I can’t beat Vashtor, what should I do? what to do?
It looked into the distance. The People's Light was temporarily stable. The Emperor's power and the energy it lent to Baals began to take advantage, but it would take time to fly back and the engine would need some time to repair.
The nearest support should be Lian Lei Luo, why let him come?
It’s really annoying not to believe in prophecies.
Bainapao was cruel and waited..."for a short while in subspace". When a cruising Fengyun-class battleship passed by, he slapped her hard.
......
"Captain! Our Astropath suddenly died! All Astropaths!" The correspondent's shout was full of panic and confusion.
"What's the reason? Are there any abnormalities?" The captain was surprised. All the instrument panels on the surrounding bridge showed no abnormalities, including the psychic ones.
"I don't know, there was nothing unusual at the time of the incident."
"What? Adjutant, where is the nearest supply point to us?"
"It's the world of Atris."
The adjutant derived their sailing route. The ship's final destination was the world of Atris, but according to the plan, it still needed to patrol six galaxies and eventually return there from another direction.
"Change the course and head to the world of Atris to inform the Emperor's Angels behind us that a small accident has occurred and we need to return to Atris in advance to replenish personnel." The captain has learned all the navigation regulations by heart.
According to regulations, he had to contact other warships to patrol those six systems instead, but the Astropath died...
We can only go back to Atris first.
