Following the tracks left by the Eldar, they found a path, albeit barely wider than a path cut from the cliffs.
There were steep mountain walls on both sides of the undulating road. Although it was already dark here, the shadows of the mountains still made the road almost completely dark.
At the narrowest point of the passage ahead, barely enough for a rhinoceros to pass through, Soshyan watched his scout team stay there for a while, looking from one side to the other, searching the rock surface for trigger traps or traps. Traces of mines.
So far nothing has been found, and Soshyan is starting to feel uncomfortable.
It was here that all traces disappeared, leaving no trace of the Eldar, if indeed they had followed this path.
Or maybe this is just another of the Alien's many scams.
Then veteran Claris raised his hand to indicate that the passage was safe.
Even though he had lost an arm long ago, the sergeant insisted on leading the reconnaissance team himself, and Soshyan was happy to have his eyes scrutinize the passage.
With a sudden slashing motion, Claris changed the signal. He quickly lowered his hand and drew his bolt pistol. The other scouts threw themselves into the bunkers on both sides of the road or rolled behind the rocks and raised their weapons. in front of me.
Soshyan, who was far away from the passage, saw their actions from a high place. In an instant, the sound rumbled along the cliff and reached his ears.
Suddenly, he saw a flash of light above the cliff. In the narrowest part of the passage, a group of green anti-gravity tanks with smooth surfaces slid into the position.
"Then this is indeed a scam."
Soshyan thought calmly.
"This is something we can deal with."
"Clarice."
Then he whispered to the audio channel in the armor:
"Stay in the bunkers on both sides of the passage. Mark leads the Terminators into the passage with the extermination machine. Talos, find some way to deal with the snipers on the mountain walls. If the Eldar deploys blocking positions, they will definitely deploy snipers. .”
When he finished speaking, everything moved into action at the same time.
Then he issued instructions to the eleven extinct relic machines. Those machines had been following the team, and only Soshyan could command them.
They seem to have extremely high intelligence and do not need to preset any orders. They only need to issue the most basic instructions and they will execute them based on their own judgment.
In a way, this is really scary.
Soshyan realized that he seemed to be stepping on a red line again.
But forced by the situation, sometimes we really can’t care so much.
Immediately, eleven huge constructs slowly stepped out of the shadows, and then the back covers of their backpacks opened one by one, and the hidden nozzles roared and began to heat, reaching their maximum speed almost instantly.
Just a roar was heard, and blue flames erupted from the nozzle, pushing the heavy structure into the air, drawing an arc with its stable posture, and finally landed with a loud bang.
It was not until these terrifying metal constructs appeared that the Eldar who stayed behind realized what had happened. When they hurriedly aimed at the target, it was too late.
The extinct relic machine tilted its body and entered a sprinting posture without any sense of beauty. The bulbous sensory center structure was locked into a cold animalistic gaze. The weapons on the mechanical arms began to activate, and at the same time, the spear-shaped limbs shrank eagerly like a beast. Come back, prepare to lunge.
The next second, the Eldar declared the war with the huge roar of the Star Fortress Cannon. The dense rain of bullets swept through the eleven armors, and almost none of them missed.
However, these bullets were ruthlessly absorbed by the deflection stance and armor shell, and had almost no effect.
Then, the machines moved.
They passed through a hail of bullets and attacked the Scorpion tanks from the other side without using long-range weapons. After inspection, all the extinct relics had only 20% of their spare energy left. Soshyan could only order them to take the most economical measures. Melee mode of energy to prepare for the fierce battle later.
At the same time that the Extinction Relics launched their charge, the Space Marines also began to wash the rock surface with bolter fire from above, and the shattered rocks rolled down into the channel like an avalanche.
Captain Mark strode forward and started running, waving to the other Terminators to follow him into the passage. When he passed the scouts who occasionally leaned out to fire a volley and then immediately hid in the bunker, he noticed The passage has a wider opening on the other side.
There were a dozen greenskins blocking the space there. They were very interested in the newly appearing enemies and kept roaring and shooting in this direction.
The Terminator entered the battle line in a fan shape, planted its feet firmly on the stone ground, and aimed its storm bombs and assault cannon at the charging greenskins at the same time and began to fire volleys.
The Extinction Machines also captured their targets, or very few could escape from their hunting. One of them rushed directly towards the Scorpion Tank, its legs almost gliding. Moving at high speed, the spear-like limbs tighten the joints and retract the joints into the piston shell.
The Scorpion tank driver seemed to be aware of the danger and began to maneuver wildly, but it didn't help.
The trace-killing machine jumped up again and released an infrasonic scream as a true war cry.
The Scorpion tank suddenly maneuvered sideways and rolled in the sand, but was still bitten by the power spear.
It bites deep, penetrating sensitive machinery with the roaring kiss of activated energy fields.
Sparks flew instead of blood spraying, and the stance spear instantly penetrated the cockpit of the Scorpion tank. The huge force even forced the entire tank to a stop.
As the anti-gravity system failed, the heavy machinery fell to the ground.
The driver of the Scorpion tank, a senior soldier from Uthwe, stared into the eyes of the mechanical killer.
Just after the thing pierced his breastplate with the crackling spear, the blood he spurted left a mark on the eyepiece of his helmet, and then he coughed blood all over the helmet, Nearly drowning himself, even his blood left its mark on the bulbous golden orbs of War Machine's visual actuators.
Because he coughed blood into the thing's face, right after the thing pierced his breastplate with that crackling power spear.
Then it dragged him out of the cockpit, held him high, and impaled him.
The machine moved closer, and its eyepiece, which resembled an insect's compound eye, was examining its prey, recording the marks of the Uthwe Arkworld, as if the killer was passing on what he had discovered to its distant master.
This is something Soshiyang didn't expect. The server of the Extinction Machine can be directly connected to the server of the power armor remotely. It seems that the legion has taken them to fight in the past.
"Ahem—Iron Man..."
The Eldar warrior endured the pain. He did not flinch and refused to let the pain engulf him. He had seen this dangerous machine made by apes in the ancient library of the craft world. These backward races were almost killed by the machine they made. destroy.
But even so, they still dare to use it boldly. They are indeed a race with short memories.
But now, he is dead, and he knows this very well.
