Chapter 109: Infiltration
The fleet of the Astarte Warband gathered in the void on the side of the Zelas space station, where there was no need to face the concentrated firepower of the entire Casting World, and the firepower gap between the two sides could be slightly smoothed, and then the battleships and fortresses began to shoot at each other.
The dark void was lit up by spears of light, golden light intertwined, and the cannon cannonballs exploded in circles and shining ripples on the void shield. The torpedo flew through the void, and then was exploded by the anti-aircraft guns as it approached the fortress and the fleet, turning into a cloud of fire.
This is space siege.
It's boring, boring, and time-consuming.
Naval fleets have the advantage of being fast and flexible, and often do not have a firepower advantage over the entire planet. In the famous Gothic War, the so-called Twelfth Black Expedition, one of Abaddon's decision-making mistakes was to let his detachment smash the planetary defense system, which greatly delayed the fighters.
The Warhorse strikes the cruiser, turns off the Void Shield, lowers the engine output, quietly circles the star, comes to the back of the gaseous planet, and then spits out a shuttle, sinks to the surface of the gaseous planet to collect data, and then returns to the battleship.
The cyclonic storm on the surface of Zellas, the "brown patch" was slowly spinning away, the howling wind weakened slightly, and the huge gas pipelines under the Zelas space station stretched and fell again, slowly inserting themselves into the planet's surface.
The Warhorse opened the hatch of Gnaku, revealing ten jet motorcycles carrying heavily armed Iron Float Terminators, a series of small black dots that swooped downwards and quickly disappeared into the enduring cloud storm on the surface of the gaseous planet.
……
"Boom ......Boom Boom T
The noise completely drowned out Jostar's hearing.
The line of sight was also very poor, the visibility could reach three or four meters, and everywhere he could see was a large gray area, whistling meteorite fragments, like bullets, "swishing" past him, hitting the jet motorcycle head, hitting the power armor shell, making a dense "clanging" sound.
The jet motorcycle tactical team strives to maintain a compact and dense arrow formation, drifting in the deep sea of clouds and mist, because as long as the distance is slightly widened, the communication link between each other will be cut off, and contact will be completely lost.
Josda carefully controlled the altitude, and the tactical team remained in the shallow layer of Zelas, so that it would not be detected by the enemies in orbit by flying to the surface of the star, nor would it sink too much into the interior of the gaseous planet and be swept into the storm abyss.
"Switch formations and line up!"
Josda yelled.
I don't know how much of his voice reverberates in the communication channel filled with noisy static noise.
Luckily, the entire tactical team heard.
The arrow formation turned into a long snake formation.
Everyone followed Joestar.
Joshida activated the iron aura above his head.
The fragments of the meteorite that came from the veneer were immediately repelled by the invisible force field, and flew towards the surroundings of Joshida, and the tactical team formed a spear, and the first company commander at the front was the spear blade, piercing the clouds and mist, crackling and sweeping the wind.
The magnetic field generated by the rotation of the planet, as well as the whirlwind that lasts all year round, cause a wide range of lightning and magnetic storms in the gas on the surface of the planet, ionization sparks crackle and flicker, thundercloud storms spread everywhere, and a thick lightning bolt with a diameter of tens of meters passes around from time to time, which is thrilling.
"Smack!"
A blinding white light suddenly appeared in front of him.
A jet motorcycle was struck by lightning.
"Mangtuo Guhun ......"
Joestar's voice was only halfway out.
The jet motorcycle, along with the Iron Float Terminator on it, rolled and disappeared into the depths of the clouds, and at the same time, a rune point of light in the eyepiece's field of vision also dimmed.
"Fuck ......"
Qiao Shida cursed in his heart.
I can only continue to focus on controlling the motorcycle.
But then Jostar realized that the thundercloud storm was not without a little benefit. At least the lightning that lights up from time to time, piercing the clouds and illuminating the surroundings, allows them to constantly correct their direction with the help of lightning rays without stray from their targets.
Just thought of this.
A huge black shadow rolled in front of me.
"Watch out for meteorites!"
Josda yelled. With a twist of the grip with both hands, the jet motorcycle turned around in an instant, narrowly avoiding the giant meteorite that was coming from the cold attack, and the riders who followed him changed direction in all directions to avoid the meteorite.
Then it converges back into a straight line.
"They are better at driving than I ......"
Look at the row of points of light in the eyepiece's field of view.
Joshida thought to herself.
Like all other tactical dreadnought armor, Josda can't turn his head to look behind him, and even his left and right vision is narrow, but the various detectors, sensors, and scanners built into the armor can also help him sense his surroundings.
At first, Josda was worried that he would drift off course in the clouds, even if lightning lit up. But he soon realized that he was overthinking.
Looking at the Zellas space station from the bridge, the bird's magnified field of vision, the gas pipelines looked like wisps of drooping roots. When the tactical team approached, they saw that the gas pipelines were black towering pillars that could not be seen at a glance, the thickness of which was comparable to that of a high-rise building, all made of link-like metal rings, like millipedes.
The closer you get to the pipe, the thinner the clouds.
The tactical squad's vision gradually expands.
At the end of the gas pipeline, there is a huge cloud mining equipment, the operation of the exhaust blower and the meteorite crusher roars, the sawtooth steel mouth closes one by one, making a regular "pop" sound, and the air negative pressure will suck the mineral-rich turbid cloud into the pipeline, and the larger ore will be cut and crushed.
Time Tip above Vision: Eight hours. Successfully reached the target location, and only one person was reduced.
"Spread out in groups of two."
Josda ordered.
The tactical team quickly dispersed, each looking for a gas pipeline. Since he had sacrificed an Iron Float Terminator before, Josda was alone as a group, close to the gas pipeline in front of him, he didn't care about the cloud equipment in operation, but went directly to the side wall of the pipeline, controlled the jet motorcycle to hover in mid-air, and Joshida picked up the double-barreled hot melt gun.
"Boom!"
The strange blue hot melt flame cut through the thick metal pipe side wall, Qiao Shida held the hot melt gun and drew a circle, the edge of the pipe wall was twisted red and melted iron, and the negative pressure inside the pipe sucked one of them in, and flew upward.
Josda gave up the jet bike as planned, jumped into the breach, and was instantly dragged into the pipe by the huge suction. An incomparable force supported the Moon Wolf Warrior to rise rapidly, and the surroundings were pitch black, with only the sound of the air flow "resting", accompanied by a lot of gravel and dust, flying into the sky together.
Several other groups of Iron Float Terminators did the same, using hot melt weapons to break through the walls of the pipes, and then entered the gas pipelines one by one, and their figures quickly disappeared into the pipes.
Unlike other warbands, there are usually only a few pieces of tactical dreadnought armor for treasure, and they are often worn by the warband leader himself. The Iron Float had a Terminator force of fifty men, but only one tactical squad.
Because Fu Qinghai is not very sure whether this infiltration plan will work, in case there is monitoring equipment installed at the end of the pipeline? What if the inside of the pipeline is impassable? In case of...... There are too many uncertainties, and he only has a "give it a try" mentality, trying to find a hole in the enemy's defenses.
So far, so far, it seems, everything is going well.
……
Interior of the Zellas space station.
The huge and complex foundry is roaring day after day, extracting gases, sorting and processing, purifying and smelting, which is the key to the survival of the foundry world.
The tactical team cut through the side wall of the pipeline, causing the inlet of the gas pipeline to expand in disguise, and then causing the pressure inside the pipeline to decrease, and this data change was quickly fed back to the foundry, and the slave workers who were monitoring the production process at all times immediately raised the alarm, and immediately several technical priests came to check.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know."
No one spoke at the scene, the three black-robed engine oil elders were using binary code to communicate, the gas pipeline and cloud harvesting equipment had been operating normally for hundreds of years, even if it had just encountered a cyclonic storm, there should not be any failures. Now that there was a fierce battle overhead, after a silent exchange between the three technical priests, they decided to open the pipe exit for the sake of caution.
"A total of five pipes had abnormal air pressure."
"It's all in this area."
"Open this pipe exit."
Without an order, the Techno-Priest took over control of the slaves, and one section was suspended, the roaring noise that filled the entire factory space was slightly subdued, and the Techno-Priest came to the connection between the gas pipeline and the space station.
"There seems to be some kind of large foreign object inside the pipe."
"Did you suck in a large piece of meteorite?"
A whisper at the code level.
……
Qiao Shida, who was being supported by air pressure suction, suddenly felt that he had stopped, but because he was already in space and out of gravity at the moment, he did not fall directly, but was suspended in mid-air, together with the surrounding turbid air mass.
Then, a light lit up overhead.
Slowly illuminates the dark pipe space.
Josda looked up.
The three oil elders looked down.
!
!
"Close! Close the door! ”
"Activate the reverse valve, spit him out!"
The old oil screamed, scrambling.
"It's too late......"
The corners of the Moon Wolf Veteran's mouth curled into a cruel smile.
"Activate the Teleporter."
Qiao Shida said silently in his heart.
The Moon Wolf Warrior was suspended in mid-air, more than fifty meters away from the exit overhead, and the gate was closing rapidly......
A flash of white light.
The figure in the pipe disappeared, and the black-gold armor giant instantly appeared above the heads of the three technocrats, recaptured by the artificial gravity of the Zerath space station, and the space marines fell to the ground with a bang, and the heavy and massive iron boots crushed a pile of parts.
“010001101010……”
The screams of binary code chaos.
"Welcome the Emperor's wrath, traitor!"
Joshida grinned, his muffled voice rang out over the megaphone, and then snapped the trigger.
"All ......"
The three black-robed technical priests were torn apart by the heavy explosive bomb in an instant, turning into flying metal parts and scraps of flesh and blood. After Qiao Shida got rid of the old engine oil, he looked around, turned on the communication channel, and said in a deep voice:
"I've successfully arrived at the Jelas space station, and the Poison Hook team will report to me from the various teams."
"To your right, sir."
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
With a few explosions, the blue molten flames rushed out of the steel gates, and several groups of Iron Float Terminators appeared from the gas pipeline, they did not need to activate the short distance, they could break through the exit grille with the same hot melt weapons.
"I'm in place, sir."
"Got there, sir."
"Good."
Joshida nodded:
"Everyone is moving closer to me, prioritizing the Void Shield generator at the Zeras space station...... Whew! ”
Before he could finish speaking, his voice was soon interrupted by a loud and piercing static noise, and after the static noise continued for a while, a hoarse and shrill unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in the tactical team's communication channel:
"The lackeys of the puppet emperor, the scum who turned their backs on the belief in the god of all machines, I see you! Get ready for ......"
"Kacha!"
"Turn off the communication channel."
Joshida said calmly:
"Use a megaphone to communicate."
"It's closed, sir."
The Iron Float Terminators spoke out one after another.
The communication channel was invaded by the enemy.
With the level of technology of the Cult of the Dark Mechanics, this is almost a sure thing to happen, and it's not worth the fuss.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
The sound of the gate closing sounded one after another.
Qiao Shida turned his head to see that all the passage gates around the foundry had automatically closed and closed, and there was a sound of "Kacha" and "Kacha" sealing and locking.
The Moon Wolf Warrior's mind moved, and the transformation beam weapon on his right shoulder automatically aimed at a gate, and the dazzling white beam shot out, and a series of fires erupted on the surface of the steel gate, and as the conversion beam continued to output, a circle was quickly drawn.
"Phew!"
Josda kicked open the hatch.
"Go with me."
……
Qiao Shida led the tactical team to a wide passage, and the hatch at the end of the passage opened, and five hunchbacked intelligent control soldiers rushed out of the hatch.
They each hold a multi-barreled rotating cannon in each hand, a hook-shaped power blade under the muzzle, a splitting field arc flickering, and a particle lightning cannon above their heads, which should belong to some unknown and forbidden Cult of Mechanicus weapons.
Greedy intelligent control soldiers.
The sound of the "buzzing" engine spinning was heard, and a group of flying intelligent fighters that resembled mechanical flies flew out from behind the hatch, using several sets of turbofans to float in the air, and in the middle of the two mechanical tentacles was an arc blaster, the arc weapon of the Cult of the Mechanics, and two Havoc missile launchers on the side.
Vulture intelligent control soldiers.
It also translates as Voltarax Intelligent Control Machine.
The Intelligent Control Legion is indeed here.
Jostar knew it was going to be a tough battle.
"Activate the shield system."
Joshida said in a deep voice.
As his words fell, all the Iron Float Terminators turned on the atomic shield generators on their shoulders, and as soon as the defensive force field appeared, thick arcs of electricity and dense bullets immediately followed, bombarding the transparent shield.
"Hugh Hugh Hugh!"
Not to be outdone, Joshida had a Whirlwind missile launcher overhead, two cube twin missile compartments, and all the armor-piercing missiles and runaway missiles in one go.
Fu Qinghai deployed missiles against the intelligent control machine in advance, in the missile nest in the cyan mountain range.
Armor-piercing missiles are equipped with a large but low-explosive shaped charge, which is usually used against armored vehicles or hoplites, and can also be used against intelligent fighters.
The Runaway Missile is a special support missile used by the Titan Legion, which will produce extremely strong static disturbances and electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) when it explodes, destroying the target's electronic systems, and this weapon is particularly lethal to other Titans, because it will damage the Titan's Mental Pulse Unit (MIU), which is used to hit the circuits in the body of the Intelligent Control Soldier.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The smoke and dust of the explosion have not completely dissipated.
The Iron Float Terminator with a powered lance in his hand had already struck out with the aetheric aura of the teleportation flickering.
……
It was difficult to dispose of this mixed formation of intelligent control soldiers, and the Iron Float Terminator sacrificed one person again.
There was no time to grieve, and there was no time to recover the genetic seeds, Qiao Shida led the rest of the team members to run quickly in a narrow passage, which was equipped with a transparent window on the side of the passage, and when looking out of the window, it could be clearly seen that he was currently in the upper area of the Zerath space station.
The darkness of space as a backdrop.
Endless rail stations, staggered vertical and horizontal passages, and the middle is paved with track slabs. There was also a dense mass of close-in defense and rapid-fire guns, which were constantly turning to aim, and continued to fire at the torpedoes above. Rows of macro gun turrets shrank in turn, spitting out giant shells the size of cars. After the light spear array cooled, the golden pillar of light pierced the void, making people close their eyes and couldn't bear to look directly, and there were still a few spots of light left in the retina.
The confrontation in space continues.
Joshida feels that he has a great mission.
The front hatch opened.
A large group of cathar vanguards and cathar rangers, led by a cathar alpha, poured into this passage without any shouts, and soon under the command of the alpha squad leader, they silently and quickly formed a three-row firing formation, and the electric rifles and arc rifles in their hands were aimed at Qiao Shida and the tactical squad behind him.
Cathar Alpha, with a metallic mask with no expression on his face, raised the high-frequency vibrating knife in his hand.
"Da Da Da! Zizizizi! ”
Radiation bullets and tiny arcs of electricity come at you.
Crackling on top of the shield.
"Humph!"
Qiao Shida sneered and said in a low voice:
"Magnetic Shoes!"
There was a flash of electric arc at their feet, and the Iron Float Terminators activated their magnetic shoes, firmly attaching themselves to the metal deck while clenching their weapons.
Jostar raised the hot melt cannon, but instead of aiming at the cathars, at the bulkhead next to them.
"Boom!"
The blue hot molten flame erupted violently, and in an instant, it ablated through a large hole in the bulkhead that was not too thick, and the huge negative pressure formed in an instant, the air in the cabin began to "rest" and suck outward, and the cathar soldiers were no longer silent, and they all let out screams in their mouths, and they were all sucked into space by this huge hole.
"Smack! Examine! "Smack! Examine! ”
The magnetic shoes lock with each step.
Joshida leads the tactical team through the hole.
Turning his head to take a look.
Outside the passage, a large group of cathars floated in the void in a mess, surrounded by various weapons, and a layer of frost slowly formed on the bare skin around their necks, and the lack of oxygen and low temperature of outer space had taken their lives.
With just one shot, they killed this group of traitors.
Josda retracted his gaze and continued on his way.
……
Suzheng, bridge.
Fierce fighting was taking place outside the porthole.
Fu Qinghai sat in the captain's chair, didn't look at the battle scene outside the window, didn't pay attention to the information on the screen around him, bored with his cheeks, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the table, like an outsider with nothing to do.
At this moment, Eugene suddenly shouted:
"Khan, new situation!"
"Oh? What's the situation? ”
Fu Qinghai immediately raised his head and asked.
"There's a Void Shield for an orbital station, and suddenly it's out of force, you see, right there."
Eugene said excitedly.
Fu Qinghai looked in the direction of Eugene's finger, and in the picture displayed on the screen, a certain orbital station of the Zelas space station, the Void Shield suddenly went out, and it didn't seem to be a simple short-term overload, but completely extinguished.
The light spear and macro cannon that followed instantly fell on the top of the orbital station, and all the orbital defense facilities suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and both the close defense weapon system and the light spear macro cannon were twisted and disappeared in the raging flames.
Breakthrough...... It's opened!
Fu Qinghai was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately commanded:
"Tell the other warband fleets to stop firing at once, stop shooting at that area!"
Don't blow up Lao Tzu's tactical team.
On the screen of the communication array, the half-body holographic projections of all the war group leaders appeared one by one, and Nasir Amit, the leader of the Flesh Ripper War Group, couldn't wait to ask:
"What's going on? Was the infiltration successful? ”
"I think so."
Fu Qinghai nodded:
"So now......"
Several of the warband leaders glanced at each other:
"Ready to land!"
The holographic projections disappeared one by one.
Outside the armored porthole, all of a sudden, all kinds of boarding torpedoes, Thunderhawk gunboats, orbital airborne capsules, fist glove assault boats, shark assault boats...... Flying towards the area.
The area where there is no counterattack capability.
The Space Marine's battle barges and strike cruisers have opened their respective gnakus, and the launch ports and torpedo tubes of the airborne pods are spitting out a variety of landing vehicles.
Fu Qinghai got up and left the captain's chair, strode down the marble staircase by the bridge, and said as he walked:
"All Space Marines, follow me to the teleportation deck."
"Yes, Khan!"
