Several drop pods opened, but what appeared among them was not the Astarte warrior that Thomas had expected.

Rather, assault guns and missile launchers.

These droppods are Deathstorm dropbays, which are variations of the standard dropbays and carry heavy weapons instead of Astartes. Once the hatch of the drop pod is opened, the weapons inside will begin firing outwards until they run out of ammo.

Those demons had now finally tasted the effects of artillery fire, and many low-level demons had been killed and wounded. And those who are more powerful are difficult to be killed by these automatic weapons.

When these Deathstorm drop pods poured all their firepower on the surrounding demons in a very short period of time, the remaining drop pods would also unfold on their own. Revealing the terrifying weapon he brought.

It's still not the Astarte warrior Thomas expects, but a bipedal mech.

It's about the same size as the Dreadnought, but taller and narrower than it. The overall appearance is lean and tall, not heavy. And these mechs seem to have different models and appearances.

But there is no doubt that these mechs are the deadly death of the enemy on the battlefield.

Several mechs were holding a giant multi-barreled shotgun with a giant long knife on their backs.

They were the first to charge towards the demon army. The powerful shotgun in his hand can easily take the life of a demon. Very few demons can survive a single shot.

Behind him, several heavily armored mechs also rushed towards the demon with their own weapons.

A gun of the caliber of a gun is as big as a gun, and the bullets fired can even track automatically. There are also giant flamethrowers that can breathe flames.

Many demons simply couldn't survive a single round of fire from them. Some of the demons and sadistic warriors' ranged attacks are blocked by a swirling shield.

The bullets that had been blocked were then bounced back as they were, causing many enemy casualties.

There were also a few very light-looking mechs that jumped onto the top of the drop pod, holding giant guns that looked like sniper rifles in their hands to cover the mechs in front of them.

At this time, several Storm Birds landed through the hole smashed out of the drop pod. On the way to land, the laser cannon and heavy explosive bombs on it also destroyed many demons.

These Storm Birds were the primary transport vehicles for Space Marines during the Great Expedition. It has good offensive and defensive capabilities. Able to transport large numbers of Space Marines, and even carry dreadnought or heavy vehicles. Far stronger than Thunderhawk.

However, after the Legion was split, these large transport vehicles lacked room to play, and were eventually replaced by the smaller Thunderhawks. The people who have these storm birds now must be veteran warbands.

In Thomas's opinion, there must have been a lot of Space Marines transported among these storm birds.

But with the hatch opened. Once again, Thomas's guess was wrong.

Although the soldiers who came out of it were all wearing armor, no matter how you look at it, they were also ordinary human figures, and they were definitely not Astartes.

But the combat effectiveness of these people refreshed Thomas's cognition. For the first time, Thomas realized that ordinary humans could be so powerful.

Some of them wear full-body protective armor, and the unidentified device on their arms emits electricity that can easily scorch the demon's body.

There are also mechs about the size of Terminator armor that can emit lethal electricity. It can be seen that it is also operated by ordinary humans sitting inside.

There are also soldiers who fly in the sky and move at incredible speeds. Dominate the air and assist your comrades in attacking and harassing the demons.

Some soldiers are able to freeze their enemies with their weapons, freezing them into ice. The jetpack behind them also allows them to cross the battlefield and reach the wounded soldier. Then they would likewise freeze the badly wounded soldiers with their weapons and take them to safety.

Some soldiers emit an orange light with their weapons, then drag enemies or heavy objects in front of them, and then launch them directly into other enemies to inflict damage.

There is even a group of soldiers like a miniature version of Astarte fighting demons with laser guns, plasma guns, kinetic weapons, and melee weapons such as fists and swords.

In addition to these warriors, there are many other soldiers who wield wonderful technology to send murderous demons back to the subspace on the battlefield.

But what puzzled Thomas the most was that a storm bird landed and opened the hatch, but no soldiers came out of it.

Could it be that this is an empty transport plane that flew over without waiting for the soldiers to board?

That's stupid.

But as Thomas observed, he finally found the clue.

Although there are no soldiers in sight around the stormbird, the demons around it seem to be under attack all the time. There's a stealth force attacking these demons!

"Ahh

A scream caught Thomas's attention, and he turned his head to look behind him.

It turned out to be the screams of the sadistic demon who had killed Manius.

Several mechs armed with large machetes surrounded him. These mechs are incredibly flexible, and they can go back and forth with sadistic archgolems who are proficient in hand-to-hand combat.

They are like dancers on the tip of a knife, and the slightest mistake can lead to injury or even death.

The Sadistic Demon was completely enraged by these mechs, and he angrily slashed at one of the mechs next to him. But after a flash of smoke flashed, the mecha appeared behind the Sadistic Archdemon.

As soon as the Great Demon turned around and turned halfway, a knife slashed at his abdomen. The knife cut directly through half of his body, but the Great Demon of Torture also seized the opportunity at this time.

With his right hand, he grabbed the machete, which he hadn't had time to pull out in time. With a sharp pull, the mecha was pulled in front of him.

Then he raised the giant axe in his left hand, trying to chop, cut, and chop the mecha in front of him.

The other mechs around him hurriedly attacked, trying to save their companions.

But the Great Demon of Fear and Abuse doesn't care about it, he just wants to smash the mecha in front of him.

From the moment the weapon is caught, to the time the axe is slashed, there are only a few seconds.

But with enough for the mech to react, he raised his left arm to resist the axe, in a vain attempt to buy a moment, and let go of the machete that had been grasped by the Sadistic Demon with his right hand.

Then the armor on the chest opened, leaking out the driver inside. The free right hand grabbed the driver and threw it into the distance.

At this time, the giant axe had been chopped down, and the mecha had a layer of shield on its body, but it could not block the enchanted giant axe of the Sadistic Demon. The armor on his body also failed to withstand it. The entire mecha was split open.

At this time, the attacks of other mechs had also slashed at the body of the Sadistic Archdemon, cutting his body into pieces.
