Chapter 362: Boarding Battle 4: End and Confrontation

The naval battle in the Ophelia system continues fiercely, but in several hours of artillery confrontation, the Chaos fleet has shown signs of defeat.

The battle aboard the Lost Truth was a turning point in the war.

Since it fell into the Gray Knights' gang-hopping attack, two of the other four heavy cruisers belonging to it have also followed in its footsteps. After their shields were defeated, they became the Krieg system's Space Marines to launch a gang-hopping attack. Help attack tactical targets.

The three huge space behemoths fell silent one after another. At this point in the battle of the Chaos Fleet, only two heavy cruisers of its main fleet were still resisting.

The battle aboard the Lost Truth continues.

Under its bridge, the fully armed Alpharius left the meeting hall and walked alone in the empty battleship corridor.

Hundreds of meters away, at the entrance of the auditorium, Alpha was still relying on its terrain advantage to resist the strong attack of the Gray Knights.

But from the increasingly sparse gunshots of the old-fashioned Mark III bolters in front, we could tell that there were not many Alpha warriors still holding on to resistance.

Calmly passing through the two open bulletproof gates, Alpharius bypassed the frontal battle area;

After activating the optical camouflage on the power armor, this special Astartes activated his own special talent and quietly moved towards the edge of the battlefield.

boom!

The wall of another metal cabin was violently torn apart by the Gray Knights. Alpha hiding inside failed in his attempt to ambush again, and fled backwards in embarrassment under the fire of the storm-type twin bolters.

This was already the sixtieth time his company had exchanged fire with the Gray Knights in just ten minutes;

After their continuous tactical moves were seen through, it was difficult for them to stand firm in the face of the Gray Knight's powerful attack.

From the moment they started fighting against these grey-armored brethren, the Alphas had a deep sense of being crushed in all aspects from tactics to personal quality.

This is no joke, nor is Alphas putting themselves down.

At least in the eyes of Savile, who is now leaning on the load-bearing steel beam and breathing hard, aside from the inexplicable understanding of these compatriots, these Astartes in front of him are definitely one of the most powerful enemies he has ever seen in his life. one.

Well, maybe none.

who are they?

Savile had no time to think about this problem. He and the surviving veterans had received orders to defend the Hall of Honor to buy time for the main force to retreat.

How do they know so much about us? Savile didn't know the answer to that question.

But ever since Seaman, the company commander in charge, was "accidentally" seen through the tactical movements three times in a row and was sieved by two heavy bolters in front of his eyes, he and the rest of the Alphas have given up on all commonly used tactical secrets. , resisting only with experience and instinct.

Why do they have so many psykers?

Savile didn't dare to think about it.

He habitually tensed up his nerves, always alert to possible psychic fluctuations around him, and used his peripheral vision to cover possible teleportation spaces to the rear.

The enemy's psychic teleportation ability is so powerful that it has been extended to the level of conventional tactical actions.

It was because he and his brother had not thought of this in the early stages of the battle that they were captured by the enemy after several teleportations. They also lost control of the position after suffering heavy casualties.

Or are they all wizards?

It’s not like Xavier has never seen the Thousand Sons. Although the heirs of Magnus who are active in the Eye of Fear are powerful and secretive, they are all very powerful.

But even if you know them a little bit, you will know that all witchcraft requires a long preparation time. Even spells prepared in advance require some gestures and rituals to be activated.

But I saw my own champion swordsman Malthus launch a surprise attack after concealing himself to charging distance, and then when the opponent dropped his bolter, he raised his hand and incinerated Malthus into a powdery psychic lightning.

Xavier has given up on analyzing the spell movements of these strange Astartes wizards:

Their abilities may be extremely simple, but the power they control is pure enough.

It is purely powerful, and this principle is equally useful in the Eye of Terror.

What's more, there are also problems with their martial arts, which belong to the imperial guards!

Savile didn't have time to observe in detail during the battle just now.

However, relying on his deep instinct for intelligence gathering, he still discovered that these Astartes had an absurd number of power weapons in addition to their average height of more than 2.5 meters.

As far as he knew, the Alphas were already the group with the highest average height and build among the twenty legions for the purpose of keeping their identity secret and the suddenness of their tactical strikes.

But in the previous close encounters where he was hit by teleportation, Savile still clearly discovered from a third-party perspective:

The average size of the enemy is two points larger than them!

And because of their power weapons and obviously stronger bodies, these gray-armored Astartes used martial arts that were obviously used in civil war.

Only in one encounter could he inflict such bloody damage on Savile's company!

boom! boom! boom!

Another round of precise shooting made several molten gaps in the steel pillars that Savile had originally used as a bunker. The crossfire line he had just established with his comrades also collapsed again under such strong suppression.

The number of Gray Knights in front of them was decreasing in an orderly manner, but Savile knew that they were dividing their forces to purge the middle and lower-level mortal crew.

The enemy's grasp of victory is so firm that behind its fixed and orderly attack, it hides the indiscriminate strangulation of all life on the entire battleship.

How to fight? Confused eyes flashed across the eyes of Savile and his comrades.

This is not a wavering of will. The nature of Astartes also determines that they will never be frightened by death.

But the task left to him by the main force has not been completed, and the bottom line of the defense task behind him - the auditorium, is less than 100 meters away.

Change!

After trying all possibilities, the last blood of the Space Marines surged in Savile's mind;

Since he was destined to fail to complete the task he was responsible for, using his own death to exchange for the enemy's damage is also a decent ending.

The neural signal was transmitted from the black shell to the servo of the power armor. The life support device in the power armor received the order and injected the remaining hormones and nutrients at one time.

Feeling the vigorous power in his body again, Savile and his comrades on the opposite side of the bunker exchanged eyes.

At the end of the Grey Knights' fire suppression, Xavier pricked up his ears to listen to the enemy's shooting, ready to charge forward at the moment of reloading...

"Go! Long live Alpha!"

Xavier roared and rushed out from behind the bunker. After using his shoulder armor to withstand the bolter bullets of the Grey Knights on duty, he frantically emptied the magazines in his hands to the Grey Knights in front of him.

His comrades also stood up from behind the bunker at the same time, using the heavy bolter in their hands to open a path for him.

He picked up the chainsaw sword in his hand and rushed to the front of the Grey Knights, ready to fight the enemy in the final battle.

His comrades were noticed by the Grey Knights at the first time, and their heads were taken away by a Siren-type armor-piercing bullet in the next second.

"Hydra Supreme!"

Xavier raised the chainsaw sword in his hand high, and his tense muscles were ready to shrink in the next second.

He was ready to die with the enemy, but when he saw the Grey Knight waiting for him, his heart was as cold as the dark space outside the battleship...

The arbitrator of this team had obviously seen through his intentions and was prepared.

When Xavier rushed to the Grey Knight with red eyes, what was waiting for him was the arbitrator's raised left hand and the dazzling lightning on his palm ready to be launched...

"Kill~ah!"

He roared and tried to cut the sharp blade in his hand, but the lightning in the hand of the Grey Knight Arbitrator got there first, and while bombarding his body, it also made his arm begin to spasm violently and uncontrollably...

Bang!

Xavier, who had lost control of his muscles, fell to the ground. He had lost his ability to fight, and at this time, he could only hear the huge buzzing and the alarm of the power armor being disabled.

The heavy footsteps of the arbitrator sounded above his head, and the clanging sound of the power sword starting made him know that the end of his long life had come.

"Nine..."

Just as the arbitrator raised the sword in his hand and prepared to execute Savile. A big hand wrapped in steel armor came at some point and pressed down the former's hands lightly.

The Grey Knight, who felt abnormal instantly, instinctively exerted his whole body strength, but under the terrifying force of the newcomer, he and his nearly ton-weight Holy Shield Tactical Dreadnought Armor were easily thrown away by the other party.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dense bolts appeared at the position where the newcomer had just been, and hideous bullet marks and terrifying hissing of diamond bullets jumped on the steel deck.

But judging from the fact that these Grey Knights did not advance but retreated, and began to shrink into a defensive formation solemnly, they had lost their target lock on the newcomer just now.

++Life sign scan failed, target not found! ++

++Infrared scan failed, target not found! ++

++Call support immediately...++

The communication on the psychic channel was like lightning and flint, which was something that could be completed in an instant.

But before the third sentence was finished in everyone's mind, the wall of the next cabin was torn apart instantly.

A simple and unadorned hand, exactly the same as the one that had just stopped the Arbitrator, grew bigger and bigger in the eyes of the leading Arbitrator at the moment when the Grey Knights could not react...

Boom!

The shock wave brought by the huge power confrontation made the Grey Knights present retreat in embarrassment, and Xavier, who had recovered from the state of full body incapacity, just stood up.

In the central open space between him and the Grey Knights, there was a scene that made him tremble all over and never forget.

Calvin, who sensed the abnormality in front, had been teleported to the scene. In front of his huge body of nearly four meters, there was an Astartes warrior who looked no different from all Alphas.

The two giants who made everyone present feel instinctively afraid, while fighting statically with one-handed wrestling, their eyes were also observing each other with interest:

"You seem to be very special..." Calvin asked with a smile.

Facing Calvin's tall stature, the mysterious Alpha also looked carefully at the strange Primarch in front of him and responded:

"You too..."
