Chapter Twenty-Six: Real Man, Structural Resistance
Beneath the massive mobile fortress are dense groups of Saintforge soldiers and armored units charging towards the first line of defense.
The heavy artillery salvo of the fortress not only destroyed the general fortifications and soldiers, but also forced the remaining soldiers to give up and fight back and find a place to hide, even if they survived the bombardment, they were in horror and panic at this time.
When the rebel soldiers had finally mustered up their spirits to fight again, they saw the tower-like weapons on the left and right sides of the mobile fortress firing.
The shot from that weapon was also a cannonball.
However, the shells exploded in the air before they hit the ground.
The sky above the first line of defense was full of white stuff.
When the rebels looked closely, they realized that they were small bombs, and the white thing was a parachute.
The strong winds characteristic of the barren planet Karsk 7 blew, and the small bombs were evenly dispersed by the wind, and then slowly fell.
It is not known what kind of damage these things will cause when they fall, but no one wants to try it for themselves.
The rebel soldiers began to disperse, but under the threat of officers and fearsome psykers, the soldiers could only return to their positions and hold on tremblingly.
The weapon on the left side of the mobile fortress fires first, and the bomb from the cannonball fired by that weapon is the first to fall.
The bomb exploded in the air four meters above the ground of the defensive line, and there were not many flames and flashes, only countless steel needles that were blown out.
Some of the soldiers were shot as hedgehogs, some were lucky enough to die after a few fewer stitches, and some were quick to run into the ruins or existing fortifications.
Then the bomb from the shell fired by the weapon on the right side of the moving fortress fell.
The entire line of defense turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and the soldiers who had been hiding only slightly delayed their deaths, and they were soon killed in the sea of fire along with the soldiers who had been killed earlier.
By the time the Saint Forge soldiers approached the line, the flames had already scorched the place.
The tanks drove through the trenches, the soldiers jumped in and climbed over the trenches and continued on the march.
They didn't even fire much, because they knew that this was the fate of the rebels.
……
Inside the battle bridge.
"Praise the God of All Machines!"
Even though the bridge was empty, Chen Mo had already seen the situation on the defensive line through the observer outside the mobile fortress, which made him very satisfied.
The two weapons were the Metal Storm and the Magma Cannon, which were given by the Ten Thousand Machines to follow the blueprints of the Moving Fortress.
Perhaps these two weapons are not as good as the Titan's Volcano Cannon—Chen Mo doesn't expect to have the power of the Volcano Cannon.
Anyway, in the planetary battle of Karsk VII, it is completely enough to deal with these rebels.
But the oversized structure of the mobile fortress also made it particularly vulnerable to artillery fire.
At this time, the rebel artillery had completely abandoned the attack, and the infantry of the Cast Saint Army began to concentrate fire and move the fortress.
Mobile Fortresses do not have Void Shields, and their defense is purely structural.
But even so, the mountain-like fortress was able to withstand artillery fire and shelter the heavy artillery in it to counterattack the enemy.
Another salvo of heavy artillery, and the enemy's second line of defense again suffered a terrible blow.
Chen Mo also controlled the mobile fortress's own weapons to fight back.
Once again, the Metal Storm and Magma Cannons cleared a large area of the defensive line, this time with the enemy who came to support the defensive line from other parts of the city.
"I like this." Chen Mo stared at the battlefield outside through his observation equipment.
At this time, he established a connection with the mobile fortress, and his senses were magnified several times, as if he had become this huge mobile fortress, marching across the battlefield, turning one piece of land after another, along with the enemy, into scorched earth.
Even the pillboxes of the Riemannus Ross tank, which had to be taken care of, could be easily destroyed by the heavy artillery in the fortress.
Powerful and unstoppable, as if there is nothing in heaven and earth that cannot be done by itself.
But when Chen Mo indulged in these feelings, his brain always reminded him that he had not yet become a mobile fortress, but was just the pilot of this huge war machine, and that he was going to go out when the battle was over.
This made Chen Mo have a crazy idea in his mind, he wanted to stay on the command throne of the battle bridge forever, never break the link, and eat and drink Lazar all by soaking in the nutrition tank.
Just as this thought continued, Chen Mo suddenly felt a tremor.
The legs of the mobile fortress were bombarded with heavy artillery fire, and just now they were even repulsed, plowed a three-meter-deep ravine into the ground.
"Destroy the enemy's artillery positions!" Chen Mo ordered through the communication system.
The heavy artillery in the fortress changed its target to firing artillery positions.
And the Holy Warriors in the temple of the fortress also knew that it was time for them to appear.
……
"Ride the projector!"
"After landing, look for the other members of your team, and if you can't find it, you will fight separately!"
Karl ordered as he rushed towards the statue of the Ten Thousand Machines.
Below the statue are rows of empty humanoid slots, which are connected to a key component of the mobile fortress, called the Projector.
As for the specific role of Karl, it is not clear, after all, they are using this thing for the first time, and they have only heard of it before.
When the Saint Forge Warriors lie in the empty seats, the ground automatically flips.
Carl could see that he was being stuffed into some sort of pointed cylindrical pod, which then slid inside the moving fortress and eventually came to a halt.
Directly in front of Karl was a cannon-barreled passage, at the end of which was directly above the temple.
When a grouped gate shrank in all directions, the chamber where Carl was was shot out.
One capsule after another made a perfect arc, shooting from the fortress temple section to the artillery positions in the defensive line.
The capsule landed under the bewildered gaze of the rebel soldiers, and then a heavy bomb protruded from the bulkheads in each direction.
"Dodge!"
The soldiers knew how powerful the heavy bomb was, as it was once widely installed on Riemannus Ruth tanks.
However, the explosive bomb fired after the heavy bomb was fired did not explode.
A bomb pierced a soldier's chest and released a large amount of smoke upon landing.
The second shot of the heavy bomb is the real bomb.
With a deafening roar, a small area near the pod was emptied, and one after another of the Saint Casting Warriors kicked open the hatch and rushed out.
As soon as the thermal imaging opened, the hands and the weapons carried on the five mechanical arms fired at enemies in all directions, slaughtering the bewildered enemies in the smoke.
The speed of the Holy Warrior is not very fast, and controlling multiple weapons to shoot at multiple targets has taken up a lot of computing power of the chip in the brain, resulting in a slightly sluggish reaction at this time.
When they finished clearing the surrounding enemies and rushing out of the smoke, an unlucky saint-casting warrior was directly blown to pieces by the first shot.
