Chapter 218 The situation escalates
The Inquisitor still recorded the "self-named" and "unopposed" Nidhogg Tyron tentacles in his small notebook, and recorded its characteristics in detail.
There are many biological fleets, which are good at melee combat, including corrosion and crushing. Their own defense is relatively hard, but the damage of their biological long-range artillery fire is lower than that of ordinary Tyranid fleets.
It is slow to create large creatures in ground combat, and the speed of creating ordinary creatures is also below the average.
The node control is far away, and the core biological mothership can still carry out effective control and micro-control battles far away from the main fleet.
.......
This was written in his hand, and the rustling sound of writing was incompatible with the noisy command room.
A small book made of special materials. If you are lucky enough, it will be left behind after the planet is swallowed up by the Tyranids. As the only man-made object on a ball of earth, it will quietly wait for the follow-up troops of the Empire to find it and provide this Tyranids information.
.......
On the planet, the biological mothership absorbed a large number of residual bodies, and finally arrived at its side with a complete infection-type Devourer (heavy cruiser) that was not damaged in some parts.
The mothership stretched out dozens of extremely thick pipes, directly tore apart the infected devourer, and then inserted them into it. The internal structure of the large battleship was quietly changing, and after one Terra, it completely became a secondary biological cultivation room.
The amount of Zerg rain from the sky doubled instantly.
A "human shield" warship appeared below the biological mothership to help it withstand gunfire. Something is wrong with the war situation.
The body of the Hive Tyrant is reshaped first, and it can preserve the memory of its previous life. In other words, the memory of its previous life has been saved through the Hive Network.
The biological mothership built a new body for it. It became stronger and larger. The most interesting thing was the thickness of its outer armor.
The mothership calculated over and over again, and the CPU was about to smoke. It didn't think about how to deal with the unstoppable flame sword, which was simply unstoppable. So its final decision was to change the body of the worm hive tyrant to eight meters in size. I The armor is thicker than the length of your sword's blade.
And for the strange burning flame, after the mothership took a series of fire prevention measures to slow down its burning speed, it made a second countermeasure, and the golden cicada escaped from its shell like Christina.
The Hive Tyrant must kill the guy holding the flaming sword within the time it takes for the outer armor to burn out, and then remove the burning outer armor.
This time, the Hive Tyrant gained a strengthened body, greatly reducing long-range attacks, enhancing the strength and speed of melee combat, and turning into a green-skinned boss mode that specializes in slashing.
The Titan-level creature has also been transformed accordingly. Its body has changed into a snail-like form to cope with the powerful bombardment of the Punishment-level Titan. In the core area of the shell, there is a spiritual organ like a brain worm, which can release spiritual energy. energy barrier.
In terms of weapons, this Titan creature has two super-giant biological main guns, which are mainly deployed behind it in mortar mode. The "shells" flying out of its symbiotic cannon have the ability to adjust the ballistics, and use the warships in the sky as a signal platform. You can fine-tune your flight path.
There are two large biological tentacles in front of it. Since its carapace is thick enough, there is no need to care about the Chimera armored vehicles, which have little lethality. These large tentacles can smash all armored vehicles that enter the melt range with one sweep.
The biological mothership was more generous this time, investing five Titans at once, and the rest of its productivity was used to expedite the production of aerial units such as Tyranid Sky Demons.
These five Titans and Hive Tyrants were delivered to the battlefield and instantly suppressed the Astra Militarum in front of them on a large scale. Simple trenches were completely unable to stop their progress.
Coriasius was unfazed by this.
A Titan Legion, the Mourning Bell Legion, has one hundred and thirty Titans, large and small. The main force coming this time is one hundred and three divine machines. Isn't it easy to deal with you?
The Astartes assist the Astra Militarum in guarding the defense line. The current situation is no longer something they can effectively intervene in. If the Divine Machine comes out, they will only be an auxiliary force.
The five Titan creatures displayed their psychic shields, and the mortars behind them began to fire huge biological shells. Through the translucent biofilm, we could see the faint flash of lightning inside, which should be a bioplasma attack.
This kind of cannonball is too huge and flies too fast to be blocked by the void shield.
The surrounding close-in defense artillery began to operate, and four heavy bolters with eighteen points on the battlefield began to fire continuously. Behind a bright tracer bullet, there were five or even eight rounds of heavy explosive bombs roaring.
These explosive bombs hit the translucent biofilm. Strangely, they did not explode, but were bounced off by the membrane. It was like a rain of explosive bombs from below, and a rain of fire fell on the Astra Militarum position.
It took an attack from the main laser weapon on Titan to cause the bomb to explode. Destructive plasma spattered hundreds of meters, and the position below was melted into a "rotten swamp" in which no living thing could survive.
The combative machine spirit of the War Angel Punishment-class Titan seemed to have found its opponent, and it shot fiercely at the opposite carapace. The two sides shot at each other from extremely far away positions on the scale of the Titan. Just the splattered fragments were like Can destroy our defensive positions.
All the Imperial troops retreated one kilometer, hiding in the trenches to inspect ammunition. Astartes wearing power armor stood above them, using magnetic locks to secure their positions to prevent them from being blown away by the violent shock wave.
Anthony stood in the driver's seat of the laser turret. Those little bugs were not worth expending explosive bombs. The laser array was the best choice.
The portable turret invented by the technical sergeant plays an important role at this moment. The technical sergeant is still blessing below, and the fire has begun violently above. Regardless of whether the machine soul is willing or not, now is the time to shoot wildly.
In such a devastating scene, the Digging Python played an important role. The tunnel it dug went deep into the ground. It originally wanted to dig a passage that extended all the way to the enemy's rear, and assaulted and killed those Titans. However, now it was violently bombarded. The power is simply too great.
The earth trembled and the tunnel collapsed. If the digging python's horizontal digging is in vain, then it digs downward.
After going down for more than ten kilometers, I finally dug out a metal object.
If something blocks it, can this be tolerated? I am known as the little underground dragon, can I be stopped by a lump of metal?
He bit it in one bite and chipped two big teeth.
In the follow-up, serious corrosion bugs joined the queue and melted through the outer wall of the underground fortress, which was dozens of meters thick.
Workers in the underground factory are working hard to transport ammunition. Below is a production line for leg parts of a Sentinel mecha. They are very busy now.
With the violent shaking on their heads, the workers were frightened. The two supervisors waved their whips and gave a few lessons to the workers who dared to talk about the war above. They turned around and walked to the high position, walking majestically on the supervisory road of the production line.
"It's really weird. It's dozens of kilometers underground and it's still shaking like this. Are they moving mountains?"
"It doesn't matter what they do. Even if they marry Arissas and leave them here to dig holes, they don't care what we do. We should enjoy ourselves and work."
"There is nothing we can do. The indicator above has increased again. I estimate that I will have to work for sixteen Terras before I can rest."
"Relax and have a clear self-awareness. Since you can leave things to me, it means that the things are not that important."
"Oops, my legs hurt. I've been sitting on a soft chair for a long time and suddenly have to patrol. I'm not used to it."
"Tch, how many steps have you walked just now? When I saw you running to Revanna's room last night, you were running so fast, tsk tsk..."
"I swear to the Emperor that anyone who spends one night with Revanna will not be able to regain his strength for five Terran days..."
The oath was broken after three seconds.
"Rumble~~" The ceiling suddenly collapsed, and the python was smashed into the passage by the sand and gravel. The sand and dust obscured the two people's vision, and several sharp stones scratched the overseer's face.
"Damn it, those useless slave workers, why can't they even repair the ceiling? I want..."
"Hey, why are you running, my #%@%"
The huge body of the digging python was tossed among the rubble, and when it saw the blood food in front of it, it happily raised the electrotherapy rod. It emits a bioelectric field that surrounds its body, electrocuting its prey.
The two supervisors were immediately shocked, their faces were blackened, and they fell into a coma.
The corrosion bug fell after the python, landed firmly on the tail behind the python, and rolled along the long tail to the pile of sand and gravel.
His little face looked waxy and bulging, as if he was very angry.
The python swung its tail hard and slammed it against the glass wall of the surveillance corridor.
The transparent specialized glass wall has been strengthened to prevent supervisors from being injured when workers riot. Now it's just a small crack. The Digging Python was a little angry and patted the corrosive bug's round head with its tail.
The Corruption Worms were even angrier.
he~~tui~~
The highly corrosive liquid stained the glass wall...nothing happened.
On the other hand, the python swung its tail and hit it on the glass. It let out an "ouch~" sound in pain, and several scales on its tail were melted by the saliva of the corrosive bug.
New Zerg fell from above, including node creatures with stronger psychic powers, and several Tyranid warriors fell down.
As soon as they landed on the ground, these bugs found swarms of food standing in a row below. They could see it but couldn't eat it, and they were very angry.
Each bug hit the glass wall hard several times. They then began their attack along the passage.
The workers below were scared out of their wits and hid in the corner shivering. Some strong men smashed the door and sounded the emergency alarm, but the door was firmly locked and the alarm room was breached by the python, leaving no one to care about them.
......
The underground factory is the defense zone of the Darknest Guards. After being bored for a long time, they finally met the enemy. They are the descendants of the Imperial Fists and are good at fighting in small areas. The genetic seeds after some mutations have given them specialized abilities. Eyes that can clearly see the location of enemies in dark areas filled with industrial waste gas without blinking for hours.
They are equipped with power fists, power claws and melta weapons. Among them, the Destroyer team has set off first to engage in firefights with the Zerg.
This was the first time the Darkhive Guard was fighting against the Tyranids, but this did not hinder the Emperor's Angels' swift actions.
The warriors closed each gate in a well-trained manner. Facing the scattered workers running around, they were ruthless enough and would ruthlessly deal with anything that prevented them from completing their tasks. Soon, the passage was "open" all the way, and the Astartes Face the incoming enemy head on.
The howls of the Zerg were of no use to them. Years of fighting with the traitors of the Iron Warriors had made their hearts as steel as steel, and they used the toughest attitude to collide with the biological craze.
.......
On the ground, a new batch of Tyranids' creatures were named Ammonite Cultists. The second batch of five Ammonite Cultists crashed to the ground, and the Heavenly Punishment Class launched a bombardment.
During this time, sky demons and Tyranid flying units began to wreak havoc on the battlefield. The empire's fighter planes were at a disadvantage, and fighter planes in the air were continuously shot down. The gargoyles relied on their numerical advantage to crawl all over the fighter planes and inject parasites into the cockpits of the planes. Bomber casualties were increasing.
As some fighter planes were mobilized away from the battlefield to deal with the enemy "drop pods" floating all over the planet, the frontal battlefield was completely supported by ground-based anti-aircraft missiles.
After the ammonite cultists landed, the empire responded quickly, or it could be said that it had been planned for a long time.
Predator Titans appeared in front of them in groups. Twenty-four of these precious Titans were dispatched at once. Most of them were equipped with melee weapons. During this time, they had already rushed in front of the enemy.
On the contrary, not many War Dog-class reconnaissance titans were dispatched, and most of them were used around the battlefield as additional firepower platforms.
The four void shields of the Predator were running, blocking the enemy's offensive. Following the god machine were a large number of Astra Militarum and a small number of Red Torrent warriors. With the help of the Titan's good human shield, the battle line was forced forward. One kilometer.
Anthony has lost count of how many bugs he has killed. The Emperor's Angels are beginning to fall, and their armors are severely worn. One day, the small blade of the Knife Bug will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Anthony glanced behind him and wanted to laugh. The Primaris warriors followed him closely, feeling a little uncomfortable. They could obviously run faster.
"Slow down, don't cross the divine machine, let's just clear out the big guys who rush up and explode themselves."
The soldiers held the plasma guns a little weakly. The current battle situation was not something that the small weapons in their hands could handle.
"Relax, the magic machine comes out. We are best at this. Captain of the green-skin special event post-processing burning team, can you say a few words?"
The Primaris warrior who was given this series of titles chuckled, "Is there a difference between bugs and mushrooms?"
The Reaver Titan kicked away the mountains of Zerg corpses in front of him, and a small incendiary bomb fell on the piles of corpses. The corpse recovery bugs and the pile of corpses together turned into a stench that filled the air.
The communication channel fell into silence. Madness is just the last courage of a coward. Silent execution is the common denominator of the strongest army.
"Stop, establish a defense line on the spot, and the support radius is one kilometer."
It has passed the shortest range of the enemy Titan's attack, and the "mortar" cannot attack such a close enemy. If it goes further, it has entered the attack range of the biological tentacles, leaving it to the predators.
"Dong~dong~dong~" the mourning bells rang in unison.
Several Marauders locked onto the same enemy. The Titan chain saw fist and battering ram had already been opened. They smashed the bugs trying to cling to it with a wave of their hands. The huge mechanical feet crushed the fallen enemies. The brain worm's spirit The attack is so weak that it can't even set off ripples on the void shield.
Only the Alpha-level super psykers, the Neuron Worms, can shake the supreme glory of the Omnissiah.
But this kind of bug is rare and complicated to make, surpassing Titan-level bugs. The only neuron bug is hiding among a large number of ammonite apostles with small psychic abilities, coordinating to hold up a psychic shield to resist the destruction of the sky. Earth-destroying seismic cannon offensive.
.........
The Hive Tyrant has united most of the bugs, and if he doesn't make some contribution, he is afraid that he will be thrown into the recycling pool.
This time, it led the tyrant to protect those rough-skinned "gorillas", relying on the attack of a large number of knife insects to kill the group of black-armored warriors covered with bones.
It still wants to obtain the genome of the Black Dragon Chapter.
The endless onslaught of the Zerg sapped the strength of the Black Dragon Chapter. After the think tank director retreated to rest, several young think tanks had been fighting for several days. The continuous use of spiritual energy without eating or drinking drained their energy. The intensity of communication within the team was obvious. decline.
When there was a slight flaw in the entire formation, the gap was quickly expanded under the all-round impact of the Zerg.
The tyrant knew that the time had come, so he ordered the Tyranid warriors to be the vanguard. A dozen warriors took the position first, heading straight for the black dragon war flag that hung high in the sky and made a hunting sound.
The standard bearer fired with a bolt gun with one hand. His other arm had been dissolved by bioplasma, leaving only the conspicuous bone spurs on his shoulders, shaking with the recoil of the bolt gun.
Almost every hour of fighting, the high piles of Zerg corpses will give the enemy a commanding advantage. The Tyrant will send a team of gun bugs to rush to the pile of corpses and shoot downwards to cover the knife bugs.
At this time, the Imperial Air Force would come to drop incendiary bombs, but no planes had come for two hours.
The gargoyles ignored the battlefield ahead and kept passing through the position, attacking the supply lines behind them. There seemed to be some problems with the supply lines in the underground pipelines. The ammunition that was supposed to be delivered ten minutes ago did not arrive.
The flag-bearer looked up and saw several large Zergs appearing, raising the symbiotic cannons on their waists and firing parasites towards the position.
When fist-sized bugs come into contact with the Astra Militarum, they will bite open the flesh and blood of mortals, burrow hard towards the brain, eat their brains, replace them with themselves, and turn the body into a walking zombie.
"Bang~bang~"
The bolt bombs were empty. The flag bearer threw away the bolt gun. There were no bullets anymore. He took down the battle flag from the position and pointed the tip at the enemy.
A holy relic of the Chapter, the flagpole is made from the bone spurs of a special Battle-Brother, and the banner is sewn by a Battle Sister, who is said to have become the Emperor's Blessed.
So, Emperor, please protect me.
The flag bearer waved the long flagpole and charged towards the dozen Tyranid warriors. The two remaining assault teams beside him resolutely drew their power swords and followed.
.......
The Neuron bug knocked down a Reaver with one powerful blast. Its big head contains terrifying spiritual energy, which is essentially a gateway for the Tyranids' will, venting the vast spiritual energy of the Hive Will in the subspace to the enemy in front of it.
The pink flesh is now flushed red, and there is a thin stream of light on the cyan carapace. Its long tail supports its body. It looks at the large number of Titans in front of it and sends out an emergency signal.
Mothership, there are more than fifty enemy Titans, and I need more and larger biological support.
Ding, your order has been received and is currently ranked 32nd. Do you need to jump in line?
......
"Bang~~" A pure melee predator rushed forward, and its chain saw fist had already hit the hard carapace of the ammonite cultist at the front.
The black and white bones were broken, and green blood spilled out... No, the blood was squirming, those were parasites.
The internal organs of Titan bugs are independently active creatures, the blood is parasites, and every trace of flesh and blood is an independent individual, assembled together by the ingenious craftsmanship of the biological mothership.
The violent machine spirit of the Predator Titan swung the battering ram and smashed it down, causing the pilot to let out an inhuman roar of pain. The MIU's control unit was overloaded, and the entire Divine Machine Throne was trembling.
The mechanical priest who accompanied the army immediately came from the secondary personnel position. He knelt down and began to kowtow and burn incense. The movements were done in one go, obviously knowing the temperament of this Titan machine soul.
The city-breaking hammer deeply tore through the flesh and blood of the ammonite cultist in front of him. The defense of the spiritual brain seemed to be in vain, unable to block the power of the predator's close combat.
Seeing this situation, the Hive Tyrant became even more anxious. It originally wanted to break through the defense line of the black-armored warriors in front of the enemy, make a large circle, and surround the red-armored and green-armored warriors together. But now it seemed that time was running out and it had to attack.
The dragon head was fighting fiercely with the Tyranid warriors. Suddenly, the Hive Tyrant appeared and distracted his attention. The Tyranid warrior's long biological sword stably slashed on his chest armor, removing the white skull on his chest. Vertical painting and chopping.
"In the name of the Emperor, death shall consume you."
The dragon's head bone spurs swept down, inserted from the enemy's abdomen, and passed out from the back of the neck, stabbing the Tyranid warrior in front of him into a skewer.
With a strong wave, he threw the obstructing bug aside.
"Fire and Bone!!!"
The Hive Tyrant was charging towards the flag bearer, but suddenly a dragon-headed chapter leader clad in flames came from the side. It had to turn around and collide with the sharp adamantine bone spurs.
The eight-meter-tall monster waved its arms and flew the dragon's head away. The tyrant guard in front of it jumped up with all its strength, trying to smash the dragon's head back to the ground.
The dragon head turned over in the air, and from the corner of his eye he caught sight of the tyrant guard at his feet. He had a plan in mind and stepped hard on the guard's fist.
There was a shattering sound from the power boots, but the dragon head didn't care. With the help of its attack, the dragon head flew higher and flew above the Hive Tyrant.
The dragon's head raised high with bone spurs studded with fine gold, pointing to the sky with one hand, and aiming at the enemy's spine with the other hand, before stabbing it down.
Soon enough, a gargoyle flew down from the sky, blocking the bone spurs with its body and deflecting the flight path of the dragon's head.
The tall Black Dragon Chapter leader relied on his strong physical fitness to make an anti-human twist, forcing the bone spurs to scratch down the enemy's ribs.
The tyrant didn't take it seriously. Is the reinforced carapace so easily broken?
The secondary limbs on his back were as fast as lightning, slicing through the bone spurs of the dragon's head. The same decomposition stance of the gene stealer collided with the hard bones covered with fine gold, and sparks flew everywhere. After all, the dragon's head was slightly inferior.
A small bone fragment was spinning in the air, shining brightly on the smoke-filled battlefield.
