Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Fly and the Turtle

Do you want to attack it directly? My hand rested on the control rune on the hatch, hesitated, and couldn't press it.

There's always a sense of foreboding. Even though I failed my prophecy discipline, my instincts have always been reliable as my years of fighting have taught me.

In a moment of hesitation, the number of enemies inside had gone from three to five. Seeing that the increase in troops would be beyond the upper limit of what I could easily deal with, I made up my mind to rush in, but I saw the other party put on a battle formation and opened the door from the inside first.

This cabin has two sealed doors on the outside, and between the sealed doors is a transition pod, and the two doors cannot be opened at the same time. While wondering if there was still air in it that hadn't been emitted, I beckoned Ashwarya to back off and back behind the Riemanrus tank.

Assisted by two Sentinel Mechs, the floating Battle Tank was already in an attack stance, with the main gun, hull laser cannon, and heavy explosive machine guns on both sides all aimed at the hatch. On the other side, the floating Chimera chariot also adjusted the cluster laser gun turret, and the mechanical priests in the carriage also extended their laser pistols for self-defense through the shooting hole.

As soon as Qiē is ready, just wait for the enemy to crash headlong into the ambush circle.

Under everyone's attention, the outer hatch began to rise little by little, and before it could rise to a height of half a meter, something flew out of the gap below, dragging a long blazing tail flame straight towards the Riemanrus tank.

Raptor Warriors!

We only subconsciously fired a round of shots, and the assault elite slammed his body into the barrel of the tank, slamming it to the side like a giant war hammer.

The enemy's courage to brazenly shake our ambush circle, and as soon as he came up, he took the most powerful attack stance, which was somewhat unexpected. Faced with the swiftness of the enemy, almost all attacks missed, and only a few laser hits were helpless against the power armor of the Chaos Space Marines.

In the middle of our mess, the Raptor landed above the rear bonnet of the Riemann Ruth hull, took out the hot melt bomb and prepared to set it there, a weak point enough to completely destroy the tank. Ignoring the other enemies behind the raptor, I was about to smash the annoying fly flying around with all my might, but someone was one step faster than me - Ashwarya also activated the jetpack, and slammed the raptor out in a more powerful gesture than the bird of prey, and the huge molten bomb flew far to the other side, exploding harmlessly.

Next, the Raptor and the Seraphs face off in gravityless mid-air. They activated their jets and collided with each other like two meteors, slashing each other with their swords in the blink of a passing moment, and shooting their pistols at each other as they distanced themselves. At this time, I was surprised to find that this little nun, who usually followed me very inconspicuously, actually had such exquisite and skillful flying and swordsmanship skills, and for a time she was able to fight against a Chaos Space Marine.

But I don't expect her to win this matchup. This raptor, perhaps not as strong as the raptor captain from the World Eater I encountered in space before, but he is still a veteran with no more than a hundred years of combat experience, and the difference in experience cannot be made up for by pious faith, and the performance of the nerve access power armor equipped by the Chaos Space Marines far exceeds that of the nun's force feedback power armor, and the seemingly bloated and clumsy body has speed and agility beyond the reach of mortals, and the power sword in his hand is also well-made and shining with blood-red electricity, The power is nothing compared to the chainsaw sword, which is only good at slaughtering light infantry. Compared to the formidable enemy, the Seraphs only had a slight advantage in their shooting skills. Unlike the melee-oriented Space Marine Assault Troopers, the Common Seraphs are originally assault fighters who use small shooting weapons mainly pistols, and the ability to wear and use melee weapons is almost the preserve of veterans and captains. She doesn't have much advantage in the clash of swordsmanship, and the long-range shot can spark a lot of sparks on her opponent - just sparks, and the Bolt Pistol has a chance to penetrate the Space Marine's power armor, but it requires the right distance and a very positive angle of incidence, and the Raptor doesn't give the Seraphs such a perfect chance at the moment.

I can't help her right now, and it's more likely that a rash fire support will involve her as well, and my psionic abilities won't be able to do much. My psionic powers are good at overturning tanks and crushing fortresses, but I am not at all good at dealing with flies flying around, and around the Seraph, the subspace has also produced a certain amount of distortion due to her wild piety and rage, although it is not as capable of forming controllable supernatural abilities as professional psionics, it is enough to disturb my casting, and in this case, forcibly casting spells will form a ruining disaster if it is a little accidental.

Fortunately, now that Ashwarya has pinned down the enemy's mobile forces, we have a chance to pick up the others.

The first round of hasty shooting was not completely without gains. Under Ah Da's control, the shell fired by Riemanlus's main cannon hit the sealed hatch that rose to a height of half a meter, failing to penetrate it, but causing it to deform a little and get stuck. Had it not been for this accident, the remaining four Chaos Space Marines would have taken advantage of the chaos caused by the birds of prey to slaughter us, but for now they could only lie on the ground and shoot at us, and then retreat under the powerful fire of the Chimera, the two Sentinels, and the heavy explosive machine guns on the Riemannus, and become turtles in the urn.

As a transition pod between two sealed doors, it is set to open only one door at a time. Therefore, when the outward door is stuck and cannot ascend or descend, the enemy will no longer be able to open the inward door to return to the inside of the cabin, and even if the enemy sends the beacon to increase again, the new reinforcements will not be able to join the battle for a while. In an instant, the tide of battle took on an overwhelming unfavorable position for the enemy.

Naturally, I didn't miss such an ideal situation, and while beckoning my men not to stop suppressing the fire, I felt out a large number of fragmentation grenades and threw them under the sealed door. It's hard for a single frag grenade to do much damage to a Space Marine's power armor, but it's not the same if you stuff more than a dozen frag grenades into a small space of four or five square meters.

Immediately, some Chaos Space Marines wanted to kick the grenade out, but they were surprised to find that the small things that were as light as nothing were now as if they were welded to the floor.

And then...... For them, there is no then. In my psionic vision, the souls of the four Chaos Space Marines were quickly extinguished. Unfortunately, the corpse was floating in the air, and it was impossible to confirm it with the naked eye.

On the other side of the sealed door, the enemy sent reinforcements, trying in vain to deal with the closed hatch. I have something else to do before they succeed.

I turned on the communicator and shouted to Ashwarya, "Come down, let's deal with that raptor." ”

The order was not carried out immediately, and the Seraph, while pulling away to change the magazine of the blaster pistol, replied sharply and weakly: "Get out, this is my battle!" ”
