Chapter 140 Ancient times, present, and last
Artillery fire was flying, and in front of the magnificent palace, the firepower of the steel python was like a wave of sulfuric acid, scouring and dissolving the entire ground. In just a few minutes, everything in front of the palace turned into dust, and the soldiers could not even find a bunker.
The original metal floor was incomplete, exposing the dry ground below.
The adamantine armor resisted the enemy's attacks to a large extent, but the shock wave of the explosion and the impact of the kinetic warheads made the soldiers extremely uncomfortable. A few poor soldiers were directly hit on the tactical helmets, and their blood was sprinkled on the battlefield.
What protrudes from the steel python is not only the barrel, but also many flashing lights. These bright lights flash at a strange frequency. If a mortal sees it, he will be completely blind within a few seconds.
The soldiers were divided into several squads and struggled to resist under the cover of Bals.
"Enke, what's going on now!"
"The front armor has a wear rate of 13% and is expected to reach the fragmentation threshold after 455 seconds. The safety time has been set to 7 minutes."
The soldiers roughly understood the current situation. Everyone was wearing similar armor, so these seven minutes were the countdown to their death.
"Focus on attacking its connecting joints and find a way to break it!"
The soldiers carried a lot of heavy weapons, which was the practice of the Red Torrent Chapter, but after breaking through several thick city gates, only three melta bombs and three ion pistols that had not been overloaded were left.
The fire brigade soldiers spread out in all directions, trying to disperse the enemy's firepower density, and then concentrated their firepower to attack the enemy's second joint.
Explosive bombs and unknown kinetic energy weapons were flying everywhere, and soldiers were constantly injured and falling down. Although the metal python also had many weapons that misfired, it was difficult to judge whether it was because it had not been used for too long.
This state of firepower did not last long. Just when the tactical demolition team wanted to rush forward and throw bombs, the steel python flicked its tail and accurately hit a charging warrior.
A blood line was drawn in the sky, and droplets of blood dripped onto the ground that had not been moistened by liquid for thousands of years. The dry ground was like a bloodthirsty demon, swallowing up all the blood in an instant.
The magnetic lock of the power boots pinned the soldier's feet firmly to the remaining metal floor, while the other torso had been smashed into the rubble nearby.
Life and death do not know.
But the great angel would never give up any opportunity. The soldier who was knocked away threw the bomb he was holding in the air.
Balth's psychic power caught it firmly.
Countless ashes flew up and formed a long gray whip in the air.
The melt bomb was connected to the end of the whip and hit the steel python like a meteor hammer.
Just as the enemy was about to evade, the other covering warriors had already completed their plan. They shot multiple times and opened up a large piece of earth and rock from the ceiling, which hit the giant steel python directly.
The powerful and heavy impact dented the middle section of the giant python, causing it to temporarily lose its ability to react quickly.
The melt bomb on the whip flew accurately to the connection between the two metal "carriages".
A heat wave hit him, and the dazzling explosion light showed the power of the melt bomb.
But Enke noticed something was wrong.
"Get down, Balth!"
Bars didn't even think about it and immediately lay down.
A fatal light cutter slashed past Balth's power backpack, almost slicing the young think tank in half.
I saw that the giant steel python had turned into two parts, but the two parts of the body fired independently without being affected at all.
"Enke..."
"Modular design, each section can run independently, but there should be only one main control device." Enke looked at the head of the steel python, and there was some high-energy reaction there.
The moment the melta bomb exploded, the steel python separated itself into two pieces.
Now, several high-explosive bombs hit everyone, and everyone had to dodge. The Iron Python also took this opportunity to become one again.
The two sides returned to the same state as at the beginning.
However, the Steel Python had obviously collected relevant data about the Astartes. While weapons from other sections continued to fire, a "carriage" suddenly exploded, and the steel plates covering the outside fell off, revealing the "cargo" inside. Huge missiles flew out.
"I#￥*\u0026%, if I get hit, I will die on the spot."
The missile is almost as big as two-thirds of the "car". Regardless of its power, it looks very intimidating. However, because of this, the flight speed of the missile is relatively slow, giving the soldiers time to react.
The three soldiers of a team targeted by the missile immediately divided into three directions to dodge. Just when everyone thought it was an ordinary powerful "clumsy" attack, an accident happened.
The missile suddenly exploded in the air, and a two-meter-long steel needle shot out.
The warrior in the middle did not react to this variable-speed attack. The tip of the long steel needle flashed a ray of power and pierced the warrior's heart in one stroke.
This heroic warrior was nailed to the ground, with black blood pouring out of his chest.
He is not dead yet, the mighty Astartes has two hearts, but he must be healed immediately.
Everyone wanted to step forward to rescue, but the steel python and its brutal physical attacks blocked everyone's way forward.
"Rogier, we can't stand it anymore! We need support!" The Space Wolves, who were fighting hard at the last intersection and fighting a large number of combat robots, received a call from the fire brigade.
No time to waste here, let’s do it in one go!
Rogier burst out with a shrill wolf roar, and then the other wolf brothers also roared at the same time.
The giant wolves guarding the entrance to the underground city heard the call and turned around to rush into the cave.
The Space Wolves warriors coexisted with wolves, and most of their failed warriors transformed into Fenrisian wolves, just like the battle servants who followed the Astartes.
However, tall bodies blocked them one by one, and their heavy footsteps were accompanied by unparalleled strength as they entered the battlefield.
"Brother Enke, we are in position."
"clear."
Several mechanical arms behind Enke immediately opened up, firmly fixing him on the ground. Enke took out all his collections, including emergency reinforced goggles and armor repair baffles.
A disk-shaped object immediately popped out of Enke's mechanical backpack, fell to the ground, and began to deploy.
The Iron Python's detection system immediately discovered the anomaly.
"High-energy reaction detected, destroyed immediately."
Most of the muzzles were turned in Enke's direction, and Enke used his body as a shield and pushed forward.
Brilliant light illuminated the entire underground world, deadly attacks struck Enke, and the power armor was instantly filled with dense craters.
"Emergency repair, the front armor will reach the fragmentation threshold in 13 seconds, warning, warning..." Enke's tactical helmet has been completely sealed, and even the Astartes cannot look directly at such a shining light.
His thick shoulder armor protected his vitals, and the disk creation behind him flickered, sending a psychic beam backwards, illuminating an area behind Enke.
Other members of the fire brigade immediately concentrated their firepower to attack the enemy's nodes, but with few heavy weapons, they were unable to break through the enemy's vital points in time.
As the disk creation gradually unfolded, the alarm sound inside the steel python became louder and louder, and then it entered a state of emergency.
"Warning, warning! The high-energy reaction exceeds the threshold, activate protocol 133-23." The giant steel python's huge head rushed straight towards Enke, the huge steel mouth opened, and inside the power fangs, there were familiar metal bars.
The super electric cannon installed on the previous city gate!
The electric light in the python's head flashes, and the electromagnetic gun is rapidly charging! .
At this critical moment, spiritual light a hundred times more brilliant than the artillery fire in front of him burst out from behind Enke, covering all light.
At the entrance to the dungeon, the remaining teleportation psionic team on the Eternal Mountain was breathing heavily. Even though they had subspace teleportation devices and teleportation beacons, they were exhausted.
This psychic light even overloaded the sensors of the steel python, making it impossible to detect what happened.
Therefore, this AI creation carried out its final order and fired the electric energy cannon to destroy the high-energy creation in front of it.
A pair of big hands grabbed Enke and threw the bullet-riddled technical sergeant behind him.
The perfect combination of the great Omnissian creation and the Emperor's Angel, a cavalry Terminator warrior opened his shield and pushed forward.
The violent attack shook the world. When the lightning disappeared and the smoke had not dispersed, streaks of red light appeared from the ashes, pointing directly at the head of the steel python.
A total of twenty Terminator warriors were deployed here. The moment the transmission ended, they could not restrain their boundless fighting spirit.
"For the Emperor! Kill all enemies!"
Several ion storms opened fire, and the blue beams of light were like strong winds and rain, beating the ancient body of the steel python into pieces.
No, it should be called the Flame Python now. The high temperature brought by the ion attack melted the metal around the python, and the entire python was burned red.
A larger weapon was launched. The largest version of the melta gun that the Astartes could hold opened fire after a brief warm-up. The micro-nuclear fusion heat flow instantly cut the steel python in half, and it fell helplessly. fell to the ground.
The entire battlefield was filled with black smoke.
"Be careful, they are modular in design, attack it on the head!"
Enke readjusted the communication channel and shouted at the newly arrived Terminator warriors.
But he was still a step too late. The red-hot metal body suddenly exploded, and the head of the steel python flew high. Then the anti-gravity flight technology fine-tuned the flight trajectory and flew straight into the magnificent palace.
"Don't let it run away, hurry up, chase it!"
"Brother Enke, leave it to us later." The reliable voice calmed down the fanatical Enke.
"Well, I leave it to you."
Twenty Terminator warriors stepped into the palace with heavy steps.
At the same time, pharmacists were finally able to provide emergency treatment to wounded warriors and take them away from the battlefield.
——————————————————————————————————
In the high orbit of the planet, the battle barge Eternal Mountain is quietly orbiting. Various auxiliary machines have been deployed and have begun to "repair" the battleship.
The battleship must guard against the debris flying at high speed in the orbit of the planet, and at the same time repair the battle barge to the extent that it can break through the subspace undercurrents and vortices for the next time, which is also a difficult task.
Others were not idle either. A large number of transport planes came and went, keeping the entire planet under firm control.
Captain Yifeng stood in front of the observation window, looking at the bright Milky Way.
What a beautiful galaxy, what a beautiful post-Winker world.
It's close at hand but not available for thousands of years.
The waterways in subspace are so important that they can influence the fate of thousands of galactic races.
We must build humanity's own webway. Take your destiny into your own hands at all costs.
An extremely bold plan gradually emerged in Yifeng's mind, a crazy plan that only someone like him, who had traveled directly from the 3K world and had no emotions for this place, could make it.
Of course, that is for the future. The question now is, we have reached this galaxy alive, but how are we going to get out?
Another round of warp vortex? Then, just like those guys who attacked the temporary Second Pacific Star Territory, find an unknown psychic marker and get into it?
Yifeng cordially visited the navigators who had just woken up from a coma. These important talents were now in shock, and they probably would not dare to do it again in a short time.
Otherwise, slow down?
Now that the battle group still has room left, should we build a base here?
This is a big project. A place where normal things like this can't get in can be used as a secret base for the war group, or even an important base for the "Spark Project" to make a comeback after the war group is destroyed.
The premise is to find a stable enough way in and out. It is unacceptable for several navigators to die each time by relying on the battle barge.
When Yifeng was struggling, an awakened boss gave advice.
——————————————————————————————————
Darkness has eroded the entire palace. It seems that thousands of years of wind and frost have destroyed the entire electrical system. It may also be that the AI thinks there is no need for lighting here.
The Terminator warriors walked in the dark majestic palace. To the Astartes' enhanced vision, it was no different from the normal world, except that the hidden enemies had not yet been found.
"Whoosh~" The sound of breaking through the air came after the tiny flying needle hit the armor. The flying needle made of the mysterious material had completely shattered, and the Terminator armor was unscathed.
"Incoming direction: 1297-234-067, suspected anesthesia needle."
"Don't worry about it and keep pushing forward." Just after saying this, there was a sound of loosening above the hall.
The warrior turned quickly and dodged several blades falling from the sky.
Along the way, various traps confused the Terminator warriors.
The technological level of these traps is not at the same level as that of the steel behemoth outside. It is almost like a joke.
"Where are the enemies hiding? Why do these guys know how to hide and hide like the scum of the Night Lords?" A soldier was complaining, but he was actually dissatisfied with the relatively slow movement speed of the Terminator armor.
"Haha, after we beat him like that, only his head flew out. He definitely won't dare to act arrogant again."
After saying that, the whole palace shook violently.
The soldiers immediately became alert and stopped talking. The leading soldier felt it slightly and said: "The vibration is coming from the left front, let's go!"
The soldiers blasted open the door in front with one shot, bent down and walked over.
But once it passed, the soldiers were stunned.
What comes into view is a very high hall, which should be more than 20 meters high. The hall is extremely wide. A large area of the ground is occupied by a huge metal creation. The countless indicator lights on it show that it is still there. run.
Before the soldiers could be stunned, another huge creation moved.
From the appearance point of view, this is the highest representative of mechanical chaos. A mess of robots and weapons are randomly spliced together to form a super huge... fire fortress?
Let's call it that, because this is completely the product of irregular splicing. The head of the steel python, which is an intelligent control center, is hiding in the center of this metal creation.
The Terminators looked at this creation in surprise. They did not feel afraid. The Red Torrent warriors who had not experienced the severe beatings of Necron creations felt that there were no metal creations that they could not defeat.
It's just a little trouble at most.
The soldiers opened fire first.
The firepower this time was not comparable to the bolt guns held by ordinary soldiers before.
Destructive attacks intertwined with each other, forming a dense firepower network that enveloped the entire mechanical firepower fortress.
The intelligent control AI in the giant python also knows that in the face of these powerful "enemies", the previous group fight tactics have completely failed, and they can only concentrate their efforts and fight hard.
Fortunately, this is its base camp.
A long pipe stretched out from behind it, and the flamethrower with enough fuel pipe spread its flames over the entire area in front of it without hesitation.
The soldiers' vision and detectors were completely lost in the wall of fire.
The flames spread to the wall behind the Terminators, and in the world of red and yellow, a black line suddenly appeared.
His speed was very fast, and the strong wind caused by his wild running blew away the surrounding flames, and the shield of the cavalry type terminator annihilated the meaningless stray bullets.
Among the entire battle group, there is only one person who can do this!
Kazanev was covered in blazing flames, wielding a chain sword filled with explosive fuel, and charged towards the enemy in front of him.
Like a demon in hell.
No, evil spirits should avoid me when they see me!
we are!
Astartes!
Kazanev rushed forward with unrivaled momentum. The AI's combat computer was running rapidly, but he found that every step the enemy took forward was flawless. It was obviously just an enemy rushing towards him, but The winning rate of retreating to every position around him is less than 10%.
For this kind of situation that is almost beyond its cognition, the shortcomings of AI are revealed. After this battle is over, it can calculate and analyze to gain experience.
But Kazanev was not going to give it this chance.
Just cowards hiding in the steel jungle.
I am the Emperor's sword.
I am the champion of the group.
What I want to do is to climb and capture the flag first, then kill the general and defeat the enemy!
Artillery fire cannot stop my progress. Every step I take hits the enemy's death knell, playing a death movement for any enemy who dares to block the way.
In such a short period of time, the flames raged like a breeze blowing on the face, and the missiles fell, but the willow leaves returned to the ground.
That firepower fortress almost smashed out all its ammunition. It's a pity that if you give it a little more time, this kind of firepower is strong enough to overload the shield of the Iron Cavalry Terminator and shatter the thick armor.
No if.
The intelligent AI wanted to fight hard. The python head gathered all the melee weapons of the robots on it. Countless blades and chain saws intertwined with each other, forming an abyss.
It greets its prey, and so does Kazanev.
Bite me? Not afraid of chipped teeth.
Kazaniv was like a meteor, crashing straight into the enemy's "trap", shattering the blades into pieces.
"Be brave enough to defeat the enemy and liberate the entire galaxy!"
The emperor's sharp blade passed through the enemy's body and chopped the python's head into several pieces.
The entire machine assembly collapsed to the ground and fell into pieces.
The rest of the Terminator warriors came one after another. Although they were a little unhappy, they rushed over with fighting spirit, and ended up watching the show like tourists.
But it’s okay to refuse. In this situation, Kazanev is the only one who can run so fast.
Somehow, all the soldiers present secretly determined that they would train like Kazanev in the future. (Power Backpack: Shall I go then?)
"First Company Commander, what should we do with this thing?" A soldier pointed at the huge mechanical organism in front of him.
In the previous battles, this thing had already suffered a lot of damage. The nutrition pipeline was broken, and the flesh and blood leaked from the biological container...
Crazy Wolf didn't think too much about it. He could just wait for the technical sergeant to come.
Until then, what ordinary Astartes can do... taste salty?
A soldier tasted the leaking flesh and blood, and then was speechless...
"No useful information was obtained. It seems... this is just a bunch of... cancer cells?"
"That makes no sense."
After Enke arrived here, was it confirmed that this was where the high-energy reaction was?
Central computer?
The sound of chirping outside gradually grew louder, and it seemed that more robots were coming here. Those robots that had been repaired and upgraded in the machinery factory were coming here in a unique anti-gravity flight mode.
"No matter what, blow it up first."
A dull explosion ended the battle, and all the robots outside stopped, stood still, and entered a standby state.
"Confirmed, the enemy's intelligent control core has been recovered, and technicians are preparing to finish it."
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. The casualties were not serious. Most of them were seriously injured and needed a period of training before they could return to the company.
On the red screen hanging high at the top of the hall, the ancient text began to change.
"Mission failed, Ms. Emanuela died, current status, on standby."
Unfortunately, no one can decipher this variant text inherited from the Golden Age.
