Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

He pointed at the shadow turret, and then gestured to the rear. Four missiles from the M41 rocket launcher suddenly shot out. After several explosions, the assault troops immediately opened fire.

The plasma rifle in the hand of an elite warrior whined at the sky for a few times before falling to the ground and died; a fighting Flood waved the Jackal's arm like a mallet; a pair of infected Floods rode on the head of a Grunt , pushing the latter into the coolant pond... The battlefield fell into complete madness, a complete portrayal of hell on earth.

The human assault troops had no choice but to drive away all living creatures in sight.

The last few bodies fell, and they were finally free to follow the slowly ascending path uphill, turn right and step into the lift.

Tommy felt a tingling sensation pass through his skin, a piece of static electricity crackled around the armor, and heard a plasma beam whine through the air. It seemed that a Covenant in the distance was trying to interrupt their assault. . However, the assault force had already left the ground and slowly floated upwards, entering the belly of the behemoth.

The raid on the Truth and Harmony was so fast that it caught people off guard. The colonel did not let McKay wait too long. The good news of successfully seizing the battleship's berth quickly spread to the remaining troops on the ground.

Fifteen soaring Banshee fighter jets roared into the sunlight, attacking an almost equal number of Covenant fighter jets - they were stationed outside the cruiser as patrol cover. Just sixty seconds into the air battle, half of the enemy planes had disappeared from the sky forever.

Then, while the dog-fighting air battle was going on intensely, Lieutenant Peterson, nicknamed Sweetie, was leading his Pelican troop carrier pilots to move Silva, Wellesley and seventy-five heavily armed Marines are sent into the enemy ship's docking bay.

There, the assault force led by Colonel Price had suppressed the Covenant defense team with a hail of bullets and cleared all entrances. Then the Spartan warriors led a ten-man elite Hell Paratrooper team and rushed towards the bridge of the battleship. The other five people in this team were led by Warrant Officer Loggins.

Considering that it would not make much sense to just capture the bridge unless they also controlled the engine room, several ground attacks launched by the human forces were almost simultaneous.

Thanks to the previous effort—the Covenant cruiser captured by Colonel Price was exactly the same model as the Truth and Harmony—McKay benefited greatly from that capture: she obtained video of the ship's internal passages, as well as the Practical data that Lee stole from enemy ship systems.

McKay led his platoon and closed the anti-gravity elevator after killing several Grunts on guard duty. She urged Sergeant Johnson next to her to leave quickly, Sergeant, hurry up, we have to seize the engine room quickly, otherwise the Truth and Harmony will not be able to fly.

The old sergeant glanced at her, curled his lips, and led his Firepower C Team into the scorching battlefield composed of the Covenant and the Flood.

McKay could vaguely smell the stench of the Flood. Here they are, lurking on the battleship. Humanity captured the battleship, but also captured another gift, a gift that could kill every one of them.

Pelican troop carrier E419, approaching the Pillar of Autumn.

The Pelican troop carrier roared through the narrow valley and came to a barren wasteland. The shadow of the troopship was one step ahead, as if eager to reach the Pillar of Autumn first. The Chief felt that the troop transport was undergoing the final round of acceleration. The blood that kept rushing to the back of his body made his eyes slightly black, and the front of the armor was pressed tightly against his body.

The first sign of the Pillar of Autumn's existence on the surface of the ring world was the hundred-meter-deep ravine carved out by the battleship's hull on the surface of the ring. This long trench began at the impact point of the cruiser's first landing, disappeared when the hull rebounded into the air, and continued half a kilometer away. From here, the groove is like an arrow, pointing straight to the final resting place of the star battleship - the bow of the battleship is like a blunt arrow, hanging over an abyss.

There are also the remains of other ships in this vast area, all belonging to the Covenant. They could only barely protect themselves from the Flood's offensive, and had no time to take care of a Pelican troop transport that was approaching rapidly.

The Master Chief is sitting in the crew cabin, holding his old friend MA5B assault rifle in his hand. Beside him, a seven-man escort team - composed of the Raven Fire Team and three Hell Paratroopers temporarily added by Silva - was ready to send Captain Case into the Autumn Wind. The bridge of the Pier.

Just as he was thinking about how to attack the bridge as quickly as possible and escape unscathed, Cortana quietly said to him: [Did you find that the three paratroopers besides the raven were a little too nervous? 】

The sergeant chief was stunned and turned his head slightly to glance at him from the corner of his eye. The Ravens were calmly making preparations for the war, while the movements of the other three paratroopers were a little unnatural. Helltroopers are elite combat-hardened warriors of the Marine Corps, and there is no reason to feel nervous before a battle.

[It’s a bit, do you know why? ] John asked.

[I don’t know, I’m not the tapeworm in their minds. ] Cortana replied, [You can show your leadership style and ask them if they are hungry. 】

Ignoring Cortana's wisecracks, the Master Chief glanced at the display screen on the bulkhead, where the outline of the Pillar of Autumn was gradually enlarging. [We’ll talk about it later, let’s focus on the immediate goal first. 】

Enemy's Nemesis made a half circle around the Pillar of Autumn and flew straight to the huge, shattered floor-to-ceiling observation window on the bridge at the head of the battleship. The hatch slowly opened, and the turbulent air whirred in the Master Chief's ears. The smell mixed with it hinted that the ship had been occupied by the Flood.

Captain, I will be on standby next to the battleship. Call me when the mission is completed. Captain Laurey said.

Copy that, Captain. The Chief heard Case reply over the communication channel as he jumped into the charred bridge.

A Covenant defense team occupies the bridge. They knew that humans were approaching, and as soon as they saw the appearance of human troops, they concentrated their firepower.

The paratroopers around him opened fire, and the Master Chief once again used grenades to suddenly reduce the enemy's numbers. He then took a few steps forward and hit an elite warrior on the head with an old fist. The alien's brains immediately splattered and his body collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut off.
