The Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 89 83. The Battle of Chloe (III)

The Mechanicus's troops and Space Marines rode the termite driller and advanced underground.

The termite driller was originally a civilian facility, but later became famous along with the light tanks modified by Krieg in the famous Krieg Civil War. After undergoing special military modifications, this machine can carry out amphibious operations, and can also adapt to various harsh terrains and conditions, and is not afraid of any radiation environment at all. In other words, as long as the radiation is not abnormal, an environment where a Space Marine wearing power armor can turn into green water in ten seconds after being thrown out can be strongly resisted.

The Space Marines can effectively resist radiation because of their superhuman bodies and exoskeleton armor, while the Skitarii, who only wear a red robe, have a unique skill, that is, they are nuclear reactors. So if you are lucky or unlucky enough to travel to Warhammer 40k in the future, it is best to stay away when you see the Titan Legion dispatched, because there will definitely be a group of mobile Hiroshima reactors following below.

Hundreds of termite drills began to attack downward from two main directions. Although the locations were different, their goal was clear, which was the location of the signal of the sword.

But when they were about to reach the target point, the psychic signal jumped rapidly, and the Raven frowned and said

"Wait, the sword is moving! We need to adjust the direction immediately!"

But then the speed of the termite drills made the Astartes feel a little incredible. Because after the adjustment, the speed of the termite drills slowed down all of a sudden. The technical sergeant looked at the mechanical priest in front of him and said angrily

"What's going on? Why did we enter the bedrock layer?"

The mechanical priest heard it and said anxiously

"I'm sorry, sir, there may be a problem with our adjustment direction."

"Then why is there no problem with the Crusaders, only our seven have problems?"

That's right, only seven termite drills entered the bedrock layer, while the other termite drills carrying the Crusaders were safely and quickly moving towards their destination.

Dark Raven stood up from his seat angrily, walked to the cockpit, picked up the bewildered Mechanic Priest and shouted

"Are you doing this on purpose? Want to get the artifact in advance?!"

The poor Mechanic Priest was strangled by the demigod and could only try in vain to pry open the iron hand that almost killed him.

"Enough, brother."

Ke Wen couldn't stand this scene, so he came over and asked Dark Raven to let go of his hands. He helped the poor Mechanic Priest up and let him breathe for a while and continue driving.

"There's no need to be angry about this, brother, and we don't really need that artifact."

Yes, even if the Astartes can successfully obtain it in the end, the artifact will be returned to the Mechanicus in the end, but it may be used as a bargaining chip to get some equipment. But the Raven Guard, which is in its rising period, doesn't need that little equipment at all, and this time there was also a temporary contract with the Mechanicus.

Originally, before the expedition began, Lucius had agreed with them that he was willing to exchange two destroyers for some alien technology, and this time they asked the Raven Guard to help them recapture the artifact at a price of 10 sets of Iron Cavalry Terminator armor. So whether it was the Mechanicus or them who got the artifact first, they had to pay the specified price, but if the other party got the artifact first, it might be a bit embarrassing.

The Raven obviously understood this, so he let go, but as a priest, he attached great importance to the honor of the chapter and still felt very annoyed.

But it was precisely because of the selfishness of the Mechanicus that their troops were ruined and the Raven Guards escaped temporarily.

"Boom!!!"

On the top of the stalactite-filled roof, dozens of meters long tail-wagging special base layers quickly rushed down, and the combat machine with rust-colored and milky white paint mixed together immediately opened its hatch and began to let the soldiers inside out. The Skitarii soldiers holding electronic guns just poked their heads out and were surprised to find that the enemy had been waiting for them. Expeditionary soldiers wearing orange exoskeleton armor and space dwarf soldiers wearing blue exoskeleton armor stood beside their war machines, with their guns and cannons pointed directly at the dull-looking red-robed soldiers.

It turned out that when they began to track, Farsight also sensed the signal emitted by the sword through her psychic assistant, and quickly realized that the other party could also find her position. So she quickly left the main base and came to another abandoned mine, and detected the direction from which the enemy might attack through the level and seismic detector, and laid a net here.

So when the Skitarii came down, they were greeted by rail artillery shells and plasma. The Skitarii who had just come down from the attack boat were quickly shattered by the terrible bullets and plasma. Although the Skitarii had undergone a lot of physical transformation and became stronger than ordinary Astra Militarum soldiers, they could only be torn into pieces when facing electromagnetic bullets with a muzzle velocity of nearly Mach 30. The plasma weapons and grenade guns equipped by the space dwarves could also cause devastating blows to them.

With no cover at all, facing such a sudden landing operation, it was a massacre for the Crusaders.

After the soldiers in the first two airdrop pods of the Mechanicus were quickly destroyed by rail projectiles and plasma, the Mechanicus finally realized that they had been detected by the enemy. But since the sword was right in front of them, they could not give up such a treasure that the God of All Machines would definitely have.

More termite drillers rushed down from the front and hit the positions of the United Army. The drillers weighing hundreds of tons can easily destroy the Kirin tanks, Lingbo infantry fighting vehicles, the six-wheeled armored vehicles of the space dwarves, and even a section of the armed train. What is more serious is that with the entry of the intelligent control brigade and the armored forces, their casualties began to increase. And when a termite driller carrying a large number of Domita intelligent combat robots arrived on the battlefield, the situation became worse.

The Domita combat robot is a combat robot specially made for close combat. The gravity fist equipped can easily hammer the internal organs of Astartes into a pile of paste, not to mention ordinary soldiers who have not undergone any physical transformation and are just wearing iron skin.

An officer dodged a bullet that grazed his scalp and ordered loudly

"Let the heavy armored tanks come out of the shadows to cover our retreat!!"

Soon, at the edge of the southeast side of the battlefield, two Vulcan heavy tanks appeared in the sight of the Mechanicus army. After the two tanks appeared, they immediately began to fire at the intelligent machine army. The high-explosive bombs accelerated by the magnetic rails quickly turned the four robots into factory conditions. The great sage Cole, who was standing at the back and commanding, shouted in horror

"Oh my God, oh my God, quickly destroy that blasphemous alien creation!!"

After receiving the order, a Land Raider began to turn its heavy bombs and quad-mounted anti-tank lasers to destroy the heavy tank. But another Vulcan tank took the initiative and a magnetic rail armor-piercing shell directly opened a large hole emitting orange light on the front armor plate of the Raider.

In the end, the great sage could only watch those damned aliens and traitor soldiers evacuate here in an orderly manner. They even forgot to take away the bodies of their companions. In this battle, the Mechanicus lost more than 700 soldiers and 12 Dragon Knights. The most important thing is that they also lost a Predator and 12 robots, which was enough to make Cole feel uncomfortable for a while.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that when he finally found the signal after paying some price, he found that it was just a similar signal created by the tools and artifacts of the aliens...
