Soon the two arrived at the lookout post of the stronghold. The armed servitors here were already on alert. Hugo looked in the direction pointed by his apprentice, and sure enough he saw several lonely figures moving on the dark ridgeline.
, about a thousand meters away from here.
From a distance, they indeed look like skitarii, but they seem to have just fought a fierce battle. Their robes and armor are all in pieces, and there are even residual flesh and blood hanging on them. However, their helmets are basically intact, and their weapons are intact.
Being dragged to the ground by them, it was like a defeated army.
"Which army is this? Didn't they send out a request?"
"No, there is no response to the identification we sent."
"Strange thing... Could it be that they retreated all the way here from other war zones?"
"Try sending another communication request?"
Toppin immediately turned on his portable communicator and sent out communication commands, but he immediately realized something was wrong.
"Their communication devices are not turned on at all."
"Is it damaged?"
"I'm not sure...um, wait, what's the sound on the channel."
Toppin adjusted the listening channel of the communicator with doubts, and soon a large piece of incomprehensible gibberish appeared intermittently amid a burst of static noise.
However, as the sounds gradually merged into vague words, a strange sense of fear appeared in the hearts of the two mechanical priests.
At this time, the strange team had reached a distance of less than 500 meters. After the two looked at each other, they both saw the panic in each other's eyes.
"Block them!"
When all the weapons and servitors in the stronghold were activated, the Alpha Skitarii walking at the front raised his head high and lifted his "hood", revealing the metallic, bald and ferocious face underneath.
, and bared a set of jagged fangs.
At the same time, the camp walls began to flash, lasers and small artillery shells flew towards the target point, followed by sparks generated in the explosion, illuminating the ridges and rocks in the night.
But the dense bullets did not knock down the enemies, but only peeled off their camouflage - the flesh of the dead Skitarii, revealing their terrifying and true shapes, shiny metal skulls and skeleton-like bodies, as well as huge
Sharp claws and weird metal bone spurs, it seems that their only purpose is to cross the gap of time and convey the message of death to all races.
"What exactly is this..."
Hu Ge's eyes widened and he tried his best to observe the strange creatures that began to run in the fire. Their metal bodies did not seem to be special in the forging world, but that kind of flexibility was definitely not comparable to that of robots, and their
The behavior is also more similar to that of a wild animal.
"Is it some sage's out-of-control test?"
"No... I don't think so... Do you remember that rumor? There seems to be an ancient ruin underground... in Scorch Oven City..."
At this time, Hugo discovered something and opened his portable meditator.
The screen flashed, showing a grid with moving icons. Hugo glanced down and took a breath.
"The augur discovered something. There are eight energy sources there, six hundred meters away on the west side..."
Then the screen flashed and the icon appeared.
"There are eight more, also at six hundred meters, approaching from the southeast. They are luring us to spread our fire. I think... yes, here, the third group of intruders is six hundred meters to the north.
.”
Toppin had drawn out his weapon, a plasma gun.
"So, we're surrounded."
"Stop holding the gun! Send an emergency signal!"
At this time, the heavy fighter servitors also began to defend themselves with plasma firepower and armor-piercing missiles, knocking down these skeletal ghosts. However, most of the monsters were very fast, and the servitors' hit rate was very low.
Just as the two people hurriedly sent out a distress signal, a mechanical undead unknowingly climbed up on the wall they were on.
"careful!"
Amid Toppin's screams, Hugo turned around in time to attack. He first felt the creature's claws make a cut on his cheek, and then shot through its body with the melta pistol.
Even though its chest was pierced and it fell down against the wall, the thing was still howling with a harsh rattling sound, raising its bloody claws and scratching randomly in mid-air.
When he turned to look at the camp, he found that a monster had broken through the defense and ran in. A lifeless apprentice was lying next to the tent, and a metal monster was lying on the corpse, scooping up a large piece of flesh and blood with its claws, and holding it high.
, and then brought it to the lips full of sharp metal teeth. However, when it chewed, the minced meat just dripped down its metal ribs.
"Strange... They are obviously machines, why do they behave like this?"
At this time, the firefight in the camp reached its most intense moment. Toppin fired at a monster that was tearing at the armed servitor with its claws, and said loudly:
"Don't do your research! Save your life first!"
At this moment, a unique roar sounded in the sky, and then two Storm Claws flew past rapidly. Missiles were drawn out from the short wings of the fighter planes, blowing up or completely destroying those mechanical monsters. At the same time, the Storm Claws lowered their heads.
Heavy explosive shells were also fired continuously, smashing the bodies of those monsters, and their solid adamantine shells could not withstand such ferocious firepower.
As the Storm Claws circled and attacked, two Thunder Eagles also roared over. Warriors in white power armor jumped down from them, and immediately used power swords and chainsaws to quickly eliminate these twisted enemies amidst the roar of war.
"This is..."
As soon as the Tenth Company Commander of the White Templar, Sherroe, jumped off the Thunder Eagle, a mechanized skull-like creature rushed directly towards him. The stained red robe flew up and down. The company commander thought he was crazy at first.
Skitarii, but soon he caught a glimpse of the alien face under the broken hood.
"Necrons?"
The alien lunged towards Sheroe, an incomprehensible scream composed of static and alien language coming from its open mouth.,
Sherroe first fired two plasma shots, breaking the screaming metal monster into large pieces. Then he turned his power sword smoothly, with a series of explosions, and cleanly chopped off the other end in an attempt to attack in a sneak attack.
The two limbs of the monster, and the moment the opponent fell, he slashed its head in half with a backhand sword.
The battle ended quickly. Cherroe came to the two frightened technical priests and immediately asked without any nonsense:
"Where did they come from."
"Back... Sir, we don't know either. We just know that these monsters are wearing the skin of the Skitarii and are approaching the stronghold, but according to the direction they came from... they are probably some mountain caves."
Xie Luoai frowned and turned around to look at the battlefield. The soldiers were collecting the corpses of the twisted monsters.
"I understand. The defense of your stronghold has been defeated, so give up now. We will take you back to the base camp in the war zone, and you can list out the detailed battle report."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the landing Thunder Eagle. The two technical priests looked at each other. For the first time, they truly felt what luck meant, and then they sighed in unison:
