"You want to go to the left?"
Hearing Talos' question, Soshyan nodded.
"Yes, it's about one or two kilometers away. The instructions in the amulet are like this."
"It seems that you trust this thing very much, okay, shall we set off now?"
"Set off."
Soshyan led the team along the ridge and under the summit. They walked through granite walls full of mysterious carved steps.
Then the soldiers walking at the front reported that they had discovered a dome in the distance. Soshyan stepped forward and found that it was indeed a dome, a huge bulbous dome, swelling on the surface of the rock - it was almost impossible to be Made of rock.
Talos also hurried over to observe the target with his own eyes.
It looks like an onion made of stone, about a thousand meters in diameter, covered by the surrounding stepped stones, and its surface is covered with vague runes and marks.
But when they got closer to less than a thousand meters, nothing unusual happened.
Just when Soshyan was doubting, drastic changes happened.
The soldier Urbano was the one sacrificed, and a flash barrage swept across the entire hillside, shattering the moss covering the ground and raising clouds of dust.
Urbano was beaten into pieces in the barrage.
At this moment, all the hidden artillery positions lurking in various positions opened fire, setting off a fire storm of lasers, bullets and plasma bombs.
The counterattack firepower was also intertwined with lasers and flares, forming a dense firepower network, and a large-scale firefight broke out in the dark underground in an instant.
"Alternate cover! Disperse! Find cover!"
While shouting orders, Soshyan fired endlessly at the surroundings, and then the dense barrage exploded two remaining walls, allowing some soldiers to rush into the lower-lying ruins building complex.
In front of them was a slope covered with gravel, and there were stone towers of unknown significance on the slope.
Through the communicator, Soshyan urged the heavy weapons team to follow quickly, but at this moment, a very fast and violent flames quickly struck along the arches and stone niches. Perhaps it was the largest scale that Soshyan had ever experienced in his life. of flames.
He felt that the air in his nose was about to be burned dry by the flames, but he still sprayed out the air contemptuously, making the discomfort disappear.
"Look for firepower points and eliminate those automatic turrets!"
Under Soshyan's instructions, the soldiers began to calmly use armor-piercing rockets and plasma guns to clear out the previously hidden artillery positions. If it were an ordinary army, it would have been in chaos under such a sudden firepower attack.
But the Astartes have experienced battlefields more dangerous than this, so they appear to be very methodical.
As the counterattack intensified, the passive defensive firepower began to weaken. Although the forts could still be used after tens of thousands of years, they were far less strong than in the past and could even be destroyed with bolt guns.
"The first and second teams continue to shoot, and the third and fourth teams intersperse and move forward!"
While Soshyan was conducting, he suddenly heard a singing-like vibration in the air. The sound was very low, lazy, and ugly.
He quickly looked around.
However, the stone towers lined up in their own row surrounded them from all directions at some point. Something seemed to be happening in the stone towers.
The towers glowed brightly, with pink energy erupting from them like countless tentacles, while large amounts of mist rose around the towers.
"Damn!!"
Soshyan yelled, realizing what was about to happen.
Those towers arranged in a line were originally just dilapidated stone spiers, but now they seemed to have been suddenly given life and became a fence.
Then, an energy field as high as forty meters suddenly rose, and hissing energy flowed to each other on the tops of the towers, making crackling noises that looked like huge, supernatural and densely spiky threads.
At the same time, there are also blue and white intertwined, twisted energy like tentacles connected between the towers. Any bullet that steps between the two towers will be blown to pieces in a very short time.
At this time, one-third of the soldiers were directly trapped in this sudden obstacle, unable to escape or turn back.
Just as the energy network was burning on the tops of the originally dormant towers, something appeared on the flat tops of these towers.
“waaaagh!!!”
I saw a sudden burst of strange energy fluctuations in the void, and then a large number of figures appeared on the platforms at the top of these towers.
"Greenskins??? Why are they here!"
Even if Soshyan tried to break his head, he couldn't figure out what technology the greenskins used to suddenly teleport over. However, as soon as they appeared, they were counterattacked by energy and a large area was immediately wiped out.
Then, the remaining greenskins quickly deployed heavy weapons on tripods, and then fired fiercely at the towers and Astartes forces below.
These greenskins seem to be well-equipped, wearing metal armor full of fangs and skulls, with huge horned helmets on their heads, and using their dirty hands to set up laser cannons, melta guns and other mysterious weapons. .
Among these green skins, stood an extremely huge figure, which looked to be the size of a Dreadnought, with muscles and machinery almost integrated into one.
"You idiot, why did you send us to this hellish place!?"
Bonecrusher grabbed the Zodiac by the neck and began to shake it violently.
"Boss, boss, I said, this, this is not stable to begin with!"
"Forget it! Let's deal with these cans first!"
Then he yelled orders, and the boys concentrated on attacking the Space Marines.
But suddenly, on his right, two heavily armed men carrying huge assault guns burst into flames as their ammunition exploded.
Those towers actually changed their trajectory and began to besiege the green skins that suddenly appeared.
This gave Soshyan a chance, and he shouted into the command channel.
"Inform all combat units to detour from both sides, and the heavy weapons squad will establish a position at the commanding heights on the left!"
The battlefield became increasingly chaotic, with laser guns, bolters and mysterious electromagnetic weapon fire intertwining into a storm, and the air trembled and buzzed with various bombs.
During this process, a barb-shaped bullet that flew very slowly and whose flight trajectory was visible to the naked eye attracted Loken's attention.
He discovered that when this kind of bullet hits the flesh, it will cause a violent explosion that cannot be described in words.
The Tech-Priest saw some greenskins blown to pieces by these bullets,
There were also many injured by stones or metal fragments shattered by bullets.
A barb-shaped bullet fell into a piece of grass outside the bunker where Loken was, losing its lethality. The Tech-priest quickly picked it up with his mechanical arm and observed it carefully - it was a forward-facing bullet. The pointed, bulbous piece of blunt metal stretched out, wrapped in layers of razor-sharp alloy, and its size was almost the same as a Space Marine's explosive bomb.
At the bottom of the bullet, there are remains of burnt glass cartridge fragments, which is the source of its propulsion.
After a simple analysis, Loken guessed that the bullet was fired from a simple tubular launcher, and the propellant exploded and shattered the glass.
The more he observed, the more he appreciated this evil yet brilliant design - the alloy blades wrapped in layers on the bullet, when it hit a hard surface, it would explode and produce a large piece of shrapnel, and when it penetrated After it penetrates the tissue and hits the bone, it will cause extremely serious trauma.
Even the blades have a slight spiral twist, which shows that when fired, the rifling in the launch tube causes the bullet to rotate and drive the blades.
Loken felt that he had never seen such a barbaric, cunning, and twisted weapon that brought pain and death to people. It was definitely the nemesis of organic life!
There is no doubt that it is a major discovery. The ammunition used in the ancient ruins in front of him is so incredible. He can't even think about the treasures inside!
Later, Loken shamelessly named this bullet "Loken Killer Bomb" and decided to start trial production of the first batch of samples after returning to his workshop.
