128 Orbital bombardment
Lystia's gaze crossed the battlefield to the top of the scarred pyramid.
Inside the pyramid, the Mechanics, who had devoted all their forces to the war against the Underworld Structure, were aware of the attack, but they could only scream in the Array communication channel at the moment and ask Commander Cargnon why he had launched the attack, and that he would have time to react to it in a meaningful way.
Therefore, it is not the Mechanic Order's Forge Fleet or the Order's Investigation Fleet docked on the periphery of the pyramids, but a large warship that has suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The ship's unmistakable human imperial character is evidenced by the eagle's head carved into the Adamantite ramming horns and the large number of torpedo points scattered around it, as evidenced by the striking skull and sword wing markings on the ship, which directly identifies itself to anyone who observes it.
The flagship of the Death Stalkers, the Omeniedes.
Yes, Irvin lied to Alexei by claiming that he had left 500 warriors behind to defend the flagship, but in reality, this garrison never existed, and the war flagship of the Death Stalkers hid itself in the forged fleet of the Mechists through various means, including bribery and camouflage, from the very beginning, only to show up.
Looking at the muzzle of the Omeniedes' underbelly, Listia understood the gravity of the matter.
"Retreat! All personnel retreat immediately! This bunch of cans is crazy! They're launching orbital bombardment! ”
Amid the hysterical shouts of Listia, the Banshee Brigade, which had been fighting with the remaining forces of the Death Stalkers scattered throughout the battlefield, gave up the battle and immediately turned around, using all means of movement, including fighter jets and ground vehicles, and led the preachers to the teleportation beacon guarded by the Cyberlux Warbody.
Under the orbital bombardment of a large warship of the caliber of Omeniedes, even if you hide in a bunker buried deep underground, you will not survive it. The cannon was hoisted high, and the quick return to the cabin of the expedition fleet through the beacon was their only hope of survival.
Of course, the movement of this large warship could not be concealed from the probes of the Mechanic Order's forged fleet, which made them both shocked and puzzled.
Especially when he realized that the Omeniedes had aimed its cannon at the ground and was about to open fire, the terrified Techno-Priest immediately screamed in the communication channel, sharply questioning them about the reason for their actions.
The explanation given by the Death Pursuer for this problem is:
"We're cleaning up heresy."
The man who said this was the commander of the 3rd Company of the Death Stalkers, "Gonzalez".
The master swordsman, second only to the warband leader Irwin in Astarte, is also a perennial champion in the warband's internal martial arts. While the battle brothers beside him could only passively parry and barely support themselves in the face of the elusive attack of the spirit banshee, Gonzalez was able to use his superb combat skills to capture the most precious thing in the ever-changing battlefield - timing.
The main function of the lobbyist mecha on the Banshee is light and high-speed maneuvering, and its defensive performance is actually slightly inferior to the Terminator armor of the Space Marine. And Gonzalez's swordsmanship is so fierce that once bitten by his sword, even a killing machine built by the Order of Truth will only have the fate of being killed.
At this moment, in the face of the mechanical order's questioning, Gonzalez, the commander of the 3rd Company, held a sword in one hand, and violently ripped off the fully enclosed helmet on the head of a greedy banshee that was trampled under his feet, revealing a strange face with a delicate face and long pointed ears.
"In the name of the Emperor, we cannot tolerate such a crime, and they collude with filthy aliens...... Such blasphemy will be punished, the authority of the Golden Throne will be upheld, and the will of the Lord of Mankind will be carried out by us! ”
Every syllable Gonzalez uttered was deafening like thunder, and the high-sounding motives gave him an unquestionable sense of absolute justice for his subsequent actions.
In the name of the Emperor, the Son of the Dark Angel unleashed a sacred orbital bombardment.
Stout spears of light with a diameter of more than 100 meters shot out of the barrels of the cannons in the abdomen of Eumenides, like deadly spears falling from the sky, giving a true extermination to the heretics who desecrated the Golden Throne.
In the short interval before the orbital bombardment began, the prepared Death Stalker warriors systematically activated the teleporters and returned to the flagship, but the preachers who had been attacked were not so lucky. Due to previous transport operations and counter-offensive operations, their personnel were so scattered that even though the banshees' evacuation speed had soared to the limit, they only sent less than a third of them to the location of the teleportation beacon.
All the rest had to face the massive artillery strikes of the war flagships directly on the ground without cover.
Beams of light rained down on the ground, announcing the end of the war.
Lystia, who had managed to reach the teleportation beacon due to her early departure, looked back and saw that there were still a large number of people still trying to escape from the battlefield covered with ruins and armored wreckage, not all of them were preachers, many of them were just mortals employed by the Order of Truth, some were pilots, some were nurses, but there was no identity under the cannon, they would all die equally.
The purpose of the Death Pursuers was more than just slaughter, and after returning to the battleship Eumenides, Gonzalez, the commander of the 3rd Company, who was temporarily in command, immediately gave the next goal of action:
"After the end of the first round of bombing, vortex bombs were fired at the central pyramid in the number of, all."
"Vortex...... Are you sure? The technical sergeant on the side couldn't believe what he had heard: "There are still a large number of mechanical warriors in the pyramid!" The power of the vortex bomb is too powerful, and once we launch all the inventory, the entire pyramid complex will be completely destroyed! ”
Gonzalez turned his head expressionlessly and stared into the eyes of the technical sergeant: "Yes, complete destruction, this is exactly what we need." ”
The Victorious Guards, led by Company Commander Cargion, failed to recover Milak and their actions went awry, and Gonzalez was now unsure of Milak's condition, but he prepared for the worst.
In the worst-case scenario, the Order of Truth may have read something out of Milak's brain...... Memories that shouldn't be put on the table, and the Dark Angel's deepest secrets may have been revealed, which is unacceptable.
Then let the Vortex Bomb put an end to everything, the pyramids will be destroyed, all living creatures present will die without exception, and the Unforgivable will not allow anyone to leave the Flare galaxy alive.
All the secrets that are blasphemous will be buried in the dust.
