Chapter 459 Battlefront Scene "Completely Defeating" The Great Demon's Combat Power Laughter
Boom——Boom——!!!
The battle in the underground city is still in full swing, and the shock waves of various explosions are mixed with flying metal fragments, dyeing the surrounding scene with a layer of flames.
Ri~ Bang Bang Bang————! !
The continuous pouring of the rotating bolt machine gun, like thunder, penetrates the entire underground space, bringing a nerve-wracking sense of oppression.
Chris and his party just walked out of the cabin of the Thunder Eagle gunship, and saw that the war was raging in the ruins in the distance. The trajectory of the bolt drew a bright light mark, penetrating the twisted and fat heretic figure.
And more than a thousand man-eating sharks, as well as tens of thousands of clones and terminators, advanced in an orderly manner in this chaos.
Overhead, two Thunder Eagle gunships roared past, and passed over Chris and others with a strong wake.
Even if the distance is not far, everyone can still see the hull of the gunship, the scorch marks and craters left by the exchange of fire.
It seems that the two Thunderhawk gunships have already emptied all the bombs they carried, returned to the surface along the gap tunnel, and prepared to go to the Phoenix-class support boat hovering in the landing zone for repair and ammunition replenishment.
The burning tail jet disappeared at the end of their sight, leaving a brief silence, but it was soon broken by another round of explosions from afar.
"."
Chris stood among the ruins, watching the returning Thunderhawk gunship.
His face under the helmet was faintly solemn, and his hands silently clenched the weapon.
You know, the Thunderhawk gunship is an extremely sturdy air vehicle on the battlefield of the Empire, equipped with energy shields and thick shells, enough to withstand most firepower.
However, the shell of the returning Thunderhawk was covered with craters and burn marks of varying depths, and the shields had long been exhausted, and it was only supported by the armor.
It seems that the two Thunderhawk gunships need to be repaired immediately, otherwise they may not be able to continue in the next battle.
At the same time, this means that the firepower of the heretics should not be underestimated.
It can only be said that it is not that the heretics are too weak, but that Tiberus and the Man-eating Sharks are too strong, which caused the heretics, like a tide, to be forcibly repelled and dispersed, directly pressing the balance of the war to the side of the Empire.
This fierce battle can continue until now, entirely thanks to the excellent combat capabilities of the Man-eating Sharks.
The company tore through the defense line of the heretics like a sharp blade, and Tiberus dominated the battlefield with overwhelming force.
But Chris also knew that he must not take it lightly in this situation.
Those believers corrupted by Nurgle, especially the ghost-faced beasts and jackals who became minions, not only looked more hideous and disgusting, but their charging momentum was comparable to that of "war beasts".
Before the Man-eating Shark Fleet arrived, only one round of attack wiped out the five hundred clone soldiers with the terrain advantage, and beat them without any ability to fight back.
The subsequent ODST and special forces defending the surface suffered a serious blow.
If the follow-up support was not timely, even these elite troops might not be able to escape the fate of being annihilated.
Then, Chris called up a thumbnail star map on the helmet screen, showing the battlefield situation of the Queconto system and its surrounding star fields.
The 36th Fleet of the Imperial Navy still followed the original plan to eliminate the ordinary remnants of the Star Alliance and interstellar pirates, and the various companies of the Dawn Raiders were also responsible for the support.
At the same time, the 1st Fleet of the Thousand Sons, which crossed the space gate first and completed the deployment first, was also rushing to the Queconto system.
However, a small fleet belonging to the Dawn Raiders has entered the jump space, and its destination is also Queconto.
The one leading that fleet is the Primarch of the Dawn Raiders, Mortarion.
Seeing this, Chris finally eased his mind a little.
He knew that the power of the Primarch was extraordinary, especially Mortarion, who was unmatched in the field of chemistry and could be said to be a special killer of heretics and demonic creatures who believed in Nurgle.
If the Dawn Raiders fleet can arrive in time, the current complex war situation will undoubtedly be greatly eased, and even the victory will be completely established.
Although the combat power displayed by Tiberus is shocking, and even the Man-eating Shark brothers are extremely brave, Chris always keeps a calm judgment of reality.
He understands that if he encounters a "giant" in the warp like the Great Demon, even a strong man like Tiberus will not be able to guarantee victory.
That kind of creature not only has a strong body that transcends the laws of physics, but also carries a terrifying corrupt power, which can easily turn the entire battlefield into a chaotic and corrupt place.
Only the existence of the Primarch can completely defeat the Great Demon, or the Emperor himself will come to the battlefield.
However, since the initial integration war of the "Halo" universe is nearing its end, the Emperor has returned to the main universe and will hardly leave the Imperial Palace unless necessary.
Such an arrangement is undoubtedly for the broader interests of the Empire, but it also means that they can no longer expect the Emperor's direct intervention in their battles in this star field.
Therefore, Chris could only secretly hope that the Jiralhanae and Gnolls who had become heretics did not perform or complete a certain ritual, and then brought the subspace creatures like the Great Demon to the physical universe.
Otherwise, both their "mortal" troops and the elite forces of the Man-eating Shark may face an irreversible disaster.
"This is Tiberus."
A steady and cold voice suddenly came from the communication channel.
Tiberus's tone without any emotional fluctuations revealed an unquestionable pressure, and issued a concise order:
"Please prepare for the raid."
As soon as the voice fell, Tiberus cut off the communication.
At the same time, an updated map data appeared on the screen in front of Chris and others, and the frontline area on their north side was marked as the meeting point.
"Let's go."
And Chris did not pay much attention to Tiberus's indifference, nor did he waste much time. He led more than a dozen agents equipped with nano combat suits and holding high-powered hard light guns to the front area of the position immediately.
On the way forward, Chris and his team of agents witnessed a shocking battle scene.
Countless wasps that had become heretical creatures swarmed in.
They had huge wings like "moths" growing on their backs. Every vibration raised a burst of strange airflow, and quickly pounced on the position occupied by the man-eating shark company, as if determined to crush the man-eating sharks with the advantage of numbers.
However, the position defense line did not fall into chaos because of this.
But the clone soldiers equipped with heavy mechanical skeletons, micro-missile launchers, and rotating Gauss machine guns never let the barrage stop, forming a nearly impenetrable wall of barrage, ruthlessly harvesting the wasp swarm.
In the deeper front, the man-eating sharks stood as solid as iron towers.
In particular, the man-eating shark gunners holding 1.0 caliber bolter machine guns specifically targeted those deformed and swollen wasp variants.
These variants were like mobile heavy bombers on the battlefield, and every landing or collision was accompanied by a devastating explosion.
However, the precise firepower of the man-eating sharks made it difficult for these threats to approach the core of the position.
Even so, the enemy was not completely helpless.
Rushing to the front line were a large number of swollen jackals.
These strange creatures were obviously given some kind of suicidal mission. Under the cover of the heretic firepower, they actually broke through the outermost line of defense under the dense rain of bullets.
Bang-bang-bang! !
A dull explosion sounded suddenly. After the jackals charged to the limit, their bodies expanded rapidly and then exploded from the inside.
In an instant, dark green poisonous fog filled the surroundings, accompanied by highly corrosive strong acid liquid splashing everywhere.
Hiss!
The first targets to be affected were infantry vehicles with magnetic levitation chassis.
Their outer armor quickly emitted bursts of white smoke under the erosion of venom. Although it was not completely paralyzed, the surface material obviously began to fall off, revealing the mechanical skeleton of the inner layer.
The clone driver adjusted the speed of travel through the emergency system to try to avoid further invasion of the fog.
In contrast, the main battle tanks that also used magnetic levitation chassis were more resilient.
They were equipped with energy shields, which not only resisted the direct corrosion of venom, but also isolated some of the damage of poisonous fog.
Although the energy fluctuations of the shield showed significant consumption, it only took a moment of recharging time to quickly return to combat status.
These behemoths continued to advance steadily, forming an insurmountable steel barrier for heretics.
But the clones with relatively simple equipment were "in trouble".
Their individual armor and combat uniforms could not resist the invasion of corrosive liquids at all, and they completely collapsed in just a few seconds.
When the exposed skin came into direct contact with the thick fog, it reacted violently in an instant, and the flesh was corroded into pits and pits, and even the tragic scene of bones and internal organs could be seen.
Then, the highly toxic microorganisms carried in the thick fog invaded the bodies of the clones at an incredible speed, and they not only corroded the flesh, but also quickly occupied the nerve center, forcing the corroded clones to become extremely threatening zombies.
Just as the eyes of these soldiers gradually glowed with an ominous green light, as if they might turn against their side at any time-
Boom. Boom!
A series of low explosions sounded one after another.
The self-destruction chips implanted in the back of the clones' brains were triggered, and their heads exploded one after another, completely destroying their brain stems and preventing the possibility of heretics using their corpses to increase their combat effectiveness.
More than a dozen man-eating shark Astartes were also invaded by thick fog and venom.
These "giants" wearing heavy titanium tank power armor were shrouded in it.
However, their energy shields easily resolved the crisis.
The light of the shields was rippled continuously under the strong erosion of thick fog and venom, but it was always unbreakable.
And they did not retreat at all, but became more and more angry, and issued a deafening metal war cry-
"Die! Die! Die!"
"Dirty bastards!"
Anger was like a ignited flame, and this group of giants were no longer satisfied with the defensive line, but quickly advanced to the front line.
One of the man-eating sharks lifted the remains of a wasp variant with one hand, smashed it to the ground, and then shredded it completely with a chain saw axe;
The other one swung the power hammer in his hand and beat several Jiralhanae that tried to break through into a bloody mist.
They moved without hesitation, and with the precise firepower of the bolt gun, they cleared all the heretic creatures at the front of the position.
As the man-eating sharks advanced, the range of the position was forcibly expanded by dozens of meters.
They were like mobile fortresses, disrupting the attack rhythm of the heretic creatures. The originally surging enemy tide was torn into multiple small battle fragments, creating more cleaning opportunities for subsequent long-range firepower.
This was a slaughter without mercy, and also a battle that made people "blood boil".
Whether it is the "poorly equipped" and soulless clones or the fully armed man-eating sharks, everyone is writing a fearless chapter against heretics with their lives and anger in this swamp covered by thick fog and venom.
Of course, Chris and his team did not pay too much attention to the dynamics of the entire battlefield.
Their goal was clear, and they soon arrived at the meeting point marked on the map.
This is located at the outermost edge of the northern section of the front, and is one of the relatively stable frontier fulcrums in the current battle.
Judging from the ruins around, this area was obviously a residential area consisting of more than a dozen giant buildings before the heretics fully occupied the underground city.
The outer walls of the giant buildings were originally completely covered with living plants, forming a weird heretic style, but now, those plants have long been burned to ashes under the bombardment of the man-eating shark company.
The once swamp-like corrupted area on the ground was also "evaporated" by the high-temperature explosion and the blazing flames, leaving only a charred land, emitting a suffocating smell of burnt and decay.
In the center of the ruins, Tiberus was leading a hundred company guards to conduct a short supply and combat readiness adjustment.
Dozens of small air hunters were seen surrounding them.
These hunters used precise control to quickly transport storage boxes filled with explosive arrows, condensed batteries and other ammunition to the side of the man-eating sharks.
In addition, many air hunters also extended their mechanical arms to assist Tiberus and the heavy guards to replace ammunition boxes, battery boxes and micro-missile launch bays.
As soon as he approached, Chris found that the slightly reduced radar on the helmet screen was updated by the other party.
A location about ten kilometers away from their location was marked by Tiberus with a red "▼" inverted triangle.
The other party also said on the communication: "There are extremely abnormal energy fluctuations in the marked area. According to the intelligence provided by your senior management, the scum is very likely to be performing some kind of summoning ritual.
So, we now have two choices.
One is to escort your group of agents into the enemy, destroy the scum's summoning ritual, and capture high-value heretics for interrogation.
The second is to evacuate this place and directly implement the extermination order on Queconto."
Hearing this, Chris thought briefly and prepared to give a reply.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
However, before Chris could speak, the deep laughter with a very heavy nasal sound, which resounded when Tiberus and the company guards just arrived at the underground city, resounded again.
The most important thing is that the location marked by Tiberus also emits an extremely dazzling green light.
