Bertus Willibald has never hated Space Marines so much. Since the rise of the tyrants of Badab, these damn mutants have made the Maelstrom a mess. They only know destruction and war, and regard killing and destruction as Glory, completely unaware of the difficulty of rebuilding in the ruins. They have never added a brick, a brick, a plant or a tree to this world, but they regard themselves as the protectors of mankind and take away from everyone. They treat the gods of all machines. Believers are like knight lords in the feudal world treating serfs in their territories.
But now, they have reached out to Angstrom, but there is nothing they can do.
Originally, he hoped to be able to give in to the opponent first, and then find another way later, but he did not expect that the power system was suddenly destroyed, or that they had fallen into the opponent's trap from the beginning when the fleet was transferred. Ordinary Asta Te may not have this ability.
He had probably guessed that this must be the work of the heretics of Reza, or even the ones who encouraged the Astartes to do such a thing.
If he could survive this disaster, Bertus Willibald vowed to take revenge on these damn Reza heretics.
However, this calamity......
<Attack signal seven seven five...>
<Awaiting further instructions...>
<Start withdrawal agreement...>
Even Bertus Willivaldez's multi-channel data link can only receive rough reports from the main troops. The enemy has adopted the most direct central breakthrough tactic and has surrounded him in the Mechanical Temple. Although there are still A large number of troops, but it is not easy for them to break through the Space Marines.
In fact, there is a secret escape passage under the Mechanical Temple. However, from the destruction of the underground power center, we can know that the other party must have figured out their situation. Going underground at this time will only be more dangerous and helpless.
<The enemy has broken through the main gate and is advancing inside>
<I know>
Regardless, all the information is depressing.
The main attack of the battle will be carried out here. The enemy has invested all his remaining strength here, and his troops are only part of the Praetorian Guard. All he can do now is to pray that another supporting army can break through the enemy's blockade and bring If he rescues him, he may be able to force the other party to sit at the negotiating table.
At this time, Soshyan had led the team through the huge prayer hall of the Mechanical Temple. The passage ahead widened, and more combatants poured out, and the sighting systems on their heads turned a hostile red.
The Terminators moved forward quickly, and the fierce firepower erupted from the storm bolters and plasma pistols in their hands tore apart everything in front. In addition to the first company, the third company also joined the battle, and they quickly broke through other passages.
Then Soshyan encountered his first enemy who wasn't afraid of explosive bombs.
Huge fort-level battle robots stood silently in the passages and halls leading to the upper space of the Mechanical Temple. When the Terminator Company appeared in the range, the heavy-fisted blaster cannons on their shoulders roared fiercely. , its movement is like an engine going crazy with useless code.
The Terminators quickly set up their shields, and the heavy explosive shells that were redirected by the deflection field turned the walls on both sides of the team into rubble and twisted steel supports.
Behind those battle robots, Soshyan saw some short figures wearing long cloaks, reflective metal armor and exquisite fan-shaped helmets. These should be the Praetorian Guards of the Forging Religion.
They look well-armed and move quickly, but in this mechanical temple, they are nothing more than rats trapped in a cage.
Although he felt sorry for these battle robots, Soshyan, who had not made a move for a long time, still drew his sword.
"cover."
After saying a few words, Soshyan rushed forward, arrived in front of a fortress star at an extremely fast speed, and inserted his sharp sword into the rotating port connecting the torso and buttocks.
The blade pierced the metal, sinking deep into it, and burst out the other end, sparks of electricity surrounding the hilt.
But the robot did not fall down. Instead, it rotated its torso axis and tried to hit Soshyan's breastplate with a concussive impactor like a pliers. The essence of the concussive impactor is actually a kind of electrostatic discharger that can instantly release extremely powerful static electricity. device, and this instantaneous burst of ultra-high-energy static electricity is comparable to a powerful lightning strike, and its principle is the same as that of a thunder hammer.
However, Soshyan once again showed terrifying power. With a sharp stroke of his long sword, he cut the body of the battle robot directly from bottom to top. It swayed, waved its fists drunkenly, and finally let out a strong spasm. fell to the ground.
But before it fell, Soshyan had already turned to another robot that was trying to shoot it. He smashed the opponent's head with a punch, then grabbed the opponent's body to resist the further shots. During the brief pause of the opponent's ceasefire, , directly threw the huge battle robot over with one hand, causing the two giants to fall to the ground at the same time.
The Terminators also strode forward and eliminated all the combat robots with swords and axes, while the guards were already littered with corpses.
But then something happened that surprised Soshyan.
As if receiving some instructions, all the skitarii and combat robots suddenly stopped resisting and retreated to both sides of the road, allowing Soshyan to walk all the way to the main sacrificial hall of the Mechanical Temple.
There, he saw Bertus Willibaldes again. Now the great sage was slightly different from what he had seen before. He looked like a believer who was about to be martyred, and also like a warrior who was not afraid of sacrifice, standing up straight. , with a relaxed posture, the mechanical parts on his body buzzed, the red cloak fluttered with the artificial wind, the heat exchanger in the carapace-like exoskeleton armor emitted excess energy, and the Mechanicus battle ax in his hand emitted electric light and There was a crackling sound. At this time, he had obviously undergone some combat enhancements. His torso was wrapped in a titanium alloy strong breastplate, his back was also wrapped in similar metal, and his calves and arms were made of bare polished ceramics, and as additional A layer of hidden protection, a power conversion field was connected to the former stomach cavity, which was enough to block the powerful explosion of the plasma cannon.
However, these measures were no different from being naked in front of Soshyan and had no effect.
"Come on, butcher! Take my head to please those Reza heretics!"
Soshyan raised his hand and signaled the Terminators to put down their weapons. Then he put the sword back into its sheath, but glanced at the sages and technical priests standing by the wall.
Then he sighed softly and said:
"Great Sage Bertus Willibaldes, no one wants this situation to happen. Ever since I became the commander of the supreme lord, I have attached great importance to the power of the Mechanicus, and I have tried my best to provide peace and security to everyone." Gerstrom and you all showed good intentions to release me, but what did they gain? Contempt, contempt, and disapproval."
"We are just discussing a solution-"
Soshiyang raised his palms and interrupted the other party's explanation.
"I've given you enough opportunities and time. Considering that it's a war now, this is almost a luxury. I don't have so much time to waste anymore. I also know that if I kill you, I'm afraid this place will soon be destroyed. Self-destruction, no matter what, I still want to thank you, at least the sacrifice of those precious war machines and skitarii was not in vain."
