In low orbit, the Unbound Soul pointed its bow toward the ground, like a black and gold spear, with nearly one kilometer long rudders protruding from its sides like a lizard's spine.
This large cruiser bursts with energy from beginning to end, with blue-purple arcs jumping from one rudder to another, running from the stern to the bow.
A moment later, another surge of energy crashed along the starship.
As time passed by, the interval between energy ripples shortened.
The sound of energy rhythm turned into a regular prayer, slow and unstoppable. Through the clenched teeth of the machine servant, the praise of the God of All Machines was recited.
"...we all praise the eddies and surges in unison, feel the ups and downs of spiritual light, and feel the release of this complete electric charge, because this is a document that brings redemption and destruction!"
On the bridge, Loken was tapping the console gently.
"For this is the ultimate cleansing that brings Omnisiah's word and redemption!"
The other servitors and apprentices stood in place, like sculptures, chanting like silk without interruption.
The chanting persisted, louder and faster.
The pulse of the sky-blue flames that enveloped the Unbound Soul remained almost unchanged, while above the ground battlefield, through the gap in the clouds, a violet star seemed to wake up.
Technical Sergeant Rogris looked up at the sky, his gauntlet lightly hammering on his breastplate.
"Praise the God of All Machines..."
The Unbound Soul is filled with swirling energy, and the space around it twists and bends like a deformed mirror. The flash of energy casts an incredible shadow in the void.
Although this kind of scalpel-style precision bombing does not pursue maximum power, it is actually very complicated to execute. Currently, only the Unbound Soul in the entire fleet can perform this kind of precise front-line bombing mission. The main reason is its ancient and mysterious machine.
Soul, even the Eternal Loyalty cannot match this.
"Destroy our enemies!"
The technical sergeant raised his heavy hourglass-headed ax with both hands and waved his arms in time with the chant.
At the same time, the Unbound Soul opened fire.
Everyone watched the night fall from the ground. It looked like a reflection of the sun, a flickering straight line sliding across reality, not due to gravity. It seemed slower than a cannonball or a missile, but it was actually incredibly fast.
, just a few breaths apart.
The chant echoed across the bridge one last time before the energy body hit the ground.
On the battlefield, nothing happens within the first few heartbeats.
Then, there was a deafening roar——
The air waves generated by the collision and explosion of energy and matter spread instantly, and an oval-shaped abnormal energy surrounded by lightning filled the space between the strongholds. The cutting edge was less than 500 meters away from Ustad.
Then, a scream came, as if the gods had cut the air with a whetstone. The speakers and sound-generating units responded with their own sharp feedback sounds. Tens of thousands of tons of soil shimmered in the blue suspension, and every particle
Rock and dust shone with tiny arcs of destructive power.
In the depths of the fissure, various flying shapes are so fast that it is impossible to look directly at them - they look more like afterimages, elongated by the impact of reality and then presented in a three-dimensional form, stirring.
Rogris held his breath and was in awe of the beautiful scenery in front of him, as always.
In a moment, the force field formed by the energy impact collapsed, like the last drop of rain falling from a hearty storm.
Earth, reinforced concrete, flesh, metal, ceramics, and bones all disappeared with a loud noise, covering up all other sounds of battle.
Silence fell as the auto-sensing power armor blocked out the echoes from the battlefield, but he could feel the ground shaking, even through the rumbling engines of the Sikaran battle tanks and the scraping tracks.
.
At the center of the bombardment, an extremely huge smooth semi-oval shape was left, a perfect deep pit, exposing the complex underground channel topography.
In the blink of an eye, one-third of the entire fortress' ground structure and underground parts were neatly evaporated.
"attack!"
The vehicle accelerated into the bombing zone, and the soldiers kept up with the advancement of the tank. Although the enemy after the bombing still had some defensive strength, it could no longer adjust quickly enough to keep up with the target, so that the front line was thrown away.
flames and explosions.
In less than fifteen seconds, they rushed into the area where the enemy's fire had just shut them out. Although the enemy immediately rushed to support from underground and unaffected areas, they were still in a hurry, laser beams, automatic
Cannon shells and heavy explosive shells were fired rapidly and roaringly at the approaching vehicles blindly.
The Astral Knights immediately returned fire, their explosive shells passing through the fortifications and tearing apart the enemies hiding behind.
"dash forward!"
Ustad roared over the comm interface.
Overhead, there was a low roar accompanied by the lamentation of the engine.
Four stormrows painted in silver gray rushed towards the fortress, leaving behind traces of exhaust gas.
Their cannons fired first, and then their missile launchers ejected rockets along the designated area, hitting the broken wall two seconds later.
The missiles from the Tornado launchers also roared across the battlefield and crashed into the outer door, their warheads sweeping the entire surrounding area with deadly fragments.
As the Sikaran battle tank drove through the icy mud, its main gun activated again. Hail-like shells pierced the curved remains of the gate. At the same time, the front of the vehicle smashed into the wreckage, and twisted metal flew in all directions.
Ustad slammed his fist on the ramp release, and the hydraulic system brought the assault ramp down, crushing three red-clad defenders beneath it.
"For the Emperor!"
The second company commander walked down to load the equipment and led the attack on foot.
The first wave of enemies are the minions of the Black Legion, they wear padded body armor and sturdier carapace, some have laser guns, most carry automatic guns and make a crazy racket when they fire.
The Land Raider activated its side grenade launchers, hurling a volley of explosives into the middle of the enemy.
The flames instantly engulfed hundreds of enemies, turning their flesh, flesh and clothing into ashes, and were swept away in the debris and blast of air.
The subsequent bombs cut off the defenders' line, and the soldiers continued to advance. In the first minute of the attack, they opened a breakthrough.
After entering the fortification, the warriors using flamethrowers activated the sanctions in their hands, letting the vicious flames crawl into the openings and pits of the fort, causing tragic deaths.
Not far away, Soshyan and the Terminator squad also advanced along the bombed path, the rumble and low tremor of bolters, autocannons, and heavy bombs heralding their advance.
Plasma grenades scorched the defenders, peeling off their skin, shaving off their flesh, and exposing their bones. The lucky ones were sent away by roaring chainsaw weapons, while others simply died in heart-rending pain.
"Chapter Commander, you are too far forward."
"Mark, what are you worried about?"
Soshyan ignored the nervousness of the first company commander, waved his sword, and rushed forward.
Facing the Terminator, the enemy made a decisive decision and fled behind the gate, seeking shelter in a bunker supporting the defense line.
Lasers and bullets roared out from the gaps in the ruins everywhere, but the blue flash from the Terminator force field deflected most of them to other directions.
Now, the Astral Knights have swept two-thirds of the fortress. They not only destroyed the fortifications along the way, but also destroyed the hidden underground passages. The remaining small part of the enemy is still resisting in the last area.
