After traveling safely for a certain distance in the maintenance channel, the captain of the green-skinned warship seemed to have finally discovered the path of the intruder and quickly arranged his forces to intercept it.
Then fighting began to break out in the narrow passage.
"Ahead, two targets."
Armin fired a series of intermittent bursts from his bolter, and dull roars followed one after another. The two greenskins holding heavy shotguns were illuminated by the muzzle flash in an instant, and then they were both killed.
"Kill them all."
As he spoke, he unloaded the polished magazine and quickly loaded another into the empty magazine well.
"keep going."
Soshyan ordered, charging forward with a low profile to obtain a smaller exposed area.
Thor glanced at the auspicious device and shouted a warning at the moment when the bullets were coming from the front.
"Enemy attack."
The next moment, bullets enveloped the Space Marine warriors like blazing copper rain. A bullet grazed Soshyan's shoulder armor. Before he retreated into the corner of the wall, he felt another shot on his left shin guard.
.
Others followed suit, and for a time their formation was divided into several independent small battle groups.
Obviously, the two greenskins killed by Armin were just bait to lure the Space Marines into a narrow bottleneck area, but the greenskins' usual impatient character allowed their plan to be exposed before it was completed.
Now that the targets have been discovered, it's just a matter of time to solve them.
"Armin."
Soshyan said on the communicator:
"Enemy location."
Soon, through the shared vision feedback, Armin marked the enemy's location with an icon.
Soshyan picked up the plasma pistol, waited for it to be charged, then took out a flash grenade and threw it into the narrow area where the enemy was. The moment the enemy roared due to the scorching glare, he quickly used the plasma pistol to point upwards.
The pipelines and armor layers were shot.
Because of this move, he was hit by a stray bullet in the upper part of his breastplate. The powerful ammunition shattered the eagle emblem on it, but he was unable to go any further.
After a breath, a large piece of the upper deck, pipelines, and adamantine sinews fell away and fell into the corridor.
The originally empty passage was suddenly filled with debris, and other soldiers relied on temporary bunkers to extend their firing line and exert their full firepower.
Even Rogris got in on the act, hanging his gun on the makeshift edge and sending out a sustained pulse of focused electromagnetic radiation.
The firefight ended quickly, the ambushers unable to defend themselves against the deadly Astartes.
Soshyan then kicked open the wreckage they were using as cover to get through, and the team followed behind him.
"Check ammo."
When the Astral Knights walked among more than a dozen green-skinned corpses, an echo appeared inside Soshyan's sealed helmet, which was strangely neutral and without any background sound.
Then, he saw an identification mark flashing on the retinal projection, and then raised his clenched fist to signal the team to stop.
"Task parameters changed."
In addition to the Astartes, there was another thing that boarded the green-skinned battleship with the torpedoes, but that thing was kept secret and only entered it after the slaves left.
"go ahead."
After a few seconds, Soshyan put down his hand.
"Turn left at the intersection ahead,"
He said, leading the team to avoid the conflict and go straight to the bridge.
He lowered his head and looked at the auspicious device in Thor's hand on his left. Dark green biological readings filled the screen with a huge amount of contact signals.
"Full speed ahead, brothers."
The standard tactic of a surprise attack is to intersperse defenders throughout the ship and seize and hold key passages and bulkheads leading to vulnerable areas of the ship, where only a small force can cause disproportionately large amounts of damage.
This will make the external passage to the bridge undefensible, so even simple-minded greenskins know to hold on to this place.
As long as we hold on here, a steady stream of defenders will eventually destroy the intruders in the deep interior of the ship.
As long as you keep it—
Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Soshyan and the others encountered the green-skinned war fearless in this place.
These Dreadnaughts are made of rusted and dulled metal, with curved armor plates decorated with polished skulls and fangs. The red Ork smiley face is branded on their chests, the one buried deep in the barrel-shaped torso.
The metal head was burning with crimson light.
It is said that the fearlessness of green skins is "forced" to implant living green skins into them, so they are in a state of rage at all times.
The two furious Dreadnoughts stood on both sides of an iron door, with mottled and dented surfaces, as if their armor panels had been cooled and molded directly in a furnace without being carefully polished.
It is undoubtedly unwise to engage in long-distance firefights with Dauntless.
"charge!"
Soshiyang was running with the Holy Sword high. When he was still 50 steps away from the iron gate, the first fearless opened fire.
The huge cannonball missed his shoulder armor by a few inches, and Armin was holding a shield in the middle and behind.
After a high-pitched scream, Armin's silhouette was illuminated, the shield in his hand was lifted into the air, and his whole body flew backwards.
The green-skinned Dreadnought was still firing, so Soshyan concentrated his energy and chose the one on the right.
The second fearless raised its arms, opened its palms, and hit Soshyan with its gravity gun.
"Well--!"
Soshyan fell to the ground violently, and he could feel the metal twisting, the servos and joints deforming.
Because the weight of the armor was beginning to put pressure on him.
Gravity weapons are ancient and poorly understood weapons, dating back to the Dark Ages of Technology.
They are a gravity projection device. This weapon is so sophisticated that few survive even during the Great Crusade. These weapons are very effective when fighting in a spaceship or in a zero-gravity environment. The maximum output of the gravity gun is enough to destroy organs.
and crushing bones, even if they are protected by armor.
But its main purpose is to block enemies and destroy machinery,
By manipulating the nature of gravity itself, gravity weapons can use the target's own mass to oppose the target, crushing the target into a puddle of mud under its own weight.
Many times, it is used against heavy infantry like Terminators, and its effect is particularly shocking. The target hit will be brutally crushed by the porcelain armor plate on his body, until only a deep red color remains.
of trickle.
After the Great Crusade, this weapon gradually faded out of people's business. It was not until the Beast Wars that the Empire once again paid attention to this equipment.
But only a handful of Astartes Chapters have access to this powerful technological weapon.
When the first Dauntless gravity gun was about to increase its power again, an overwhelming rain of bullets suddenly hit the side of the Dauntless.
Dense bullet holes were embedded in the fearless torso. The torrent of flames made it look like a person leaning in the strong wind. The armor panels that were originally closely connected let out an unbearable whine under the fierce impact, and then burst.
It opened and sprayed out a shower of blood.
The Dreadnought was opened, and the minced meat was spat out. A few seconds after Tyre was knocked down with the gravity gun, the green-skinned Dreadnought also lay down on the cold ground.
Thor put down the smoking assault gun and threw it back to the heavy weapons man beside him.
As soon as the pressure on his body disappeared, Soshyan immediately got up and ran again.
His muscles screamed, his armor cracked, but he didn't stop.
The remaining green-skinned Dreadnought tried to block his charge with its flamethrower.
Soshiyang stepped forward and smashed the nozzle of the flamethrower with one punch, causing the uncondensed flames to disappear. Then he threw out the Holy Flame Sword, cutting off Wuwei's right knee joint, causing Soshiyang to lift his fist at Soshiyang.
The green-skinned Dreadnought above him lost his balance.
Then he turned the point of his sword and plunged it deep into the green-skinned Dreadnought's face.
Amidst the huge amount of blood and oil spraying, and the sound of the collision of steel and gears, the green-skinned Dreadnought fell.
Soshyan stood up and gasped for air.
Then he looked up at the iron gate that was waiting for them, and then looked around. Except for Armin, who was limping and in poor condition, everyone else was intact.
But the number is still too small.
How many enemies will be waiting behind the gate?
"Open it."
Upon hearing the order, someone from Rogris rushed forward and quickly unlocked the door's safety.
Greenskin's security measures are very simple and can be easily cracked.
The steel door was first opened to the same height as Soshyan. His eyes were locked on the opening of the steel crack. After a rhythmic rhythm, the iron door was sucked into the wall.
Soshyan could see clearly inside.
He saw a figure wearing heavy armor, sitting on a sharp steel throne, with a funny black captain's hat on his square green head full of scars, and his right hand casually resting on a huge sailor's sword.
, holding a pistol of the same oversized size in his left hand.
Surrounding the throne were hundreds of green-skinned men who were also wearing heavy armor, holding various types of long spears and cannons, and had ferocious faces.
