A heretic hit Mark and almost took off the wrist of the company commander. Mark responded with his warhammer, and the opponent's body splashed a piece of blood like a star map on the floor.
Talos smashed a heresy to the ground and crushed the other party's helmet with a chainsaw halberd.
Robin killed the enemy quickly and effectively, and knocked them down before many people could get close. Falzade even crushed a heretic's neck with both hands, and the guy fell heavily to the ground, struggling to exhale his last breath.
"Captain of the Battle, that door."
Ustad kicked a heretic's corpse off the blade with one kick, and walked to Soshiyan.
Soshiyang raised his head silently. The thick door blocking the front was extremely huge, as wide as the corridor, and was composed of a whole piece of reinforced alloy. It could be seen with the naked eye that it was thicker than the armor of a tank.
There is no doubt that the heart of the Black Legion, Abaddon's command post is behind it.
"Blast it."
The hot melt bomb was quickly deployed, and the heavy door was quickly divided into several pieces in the dazzling flames, collapsed with a bang, creating deafening noise.
Then, two roars mixed in the noise.
Soshiyan looked at the source of the roar and saw a huge creature approaching from the smoke.
No, that's not a creature, that's a creature, a creature that looks like a top predator, made of flesh and blood, skeleton and metal.
This thing is almost as big as the demon engine that appeared on the battlefield before, crawling with four sharp clawed feet, black armored shells and sharp crystals scattered across its body and forelimbs, exhaust pipes stretched out from its shoulders, its face a distorted silver skeleton with sharp teeth, looking neither like animals nor humans, and two other faceted crystals are stuck in its eye sockets.
It twisted and roared again, but did not open its mouth, dripping oil and liquid.
"It's the Demon Engine again."
Talos said something beside Soshyan, and the thing lowered his head and rushed towards them.
"Back back!"
Soshyang shouted loudly that without anti-armor firepower, it is difficult to deal with this thing with only individual weapons.
"But don't stop attacking!"
The soldiers quickly distanced themselves from it and then fired at it, and the bomb exploded on the solid shell, splashing debris and oil on the ground.
That thing has no intention of stopping at all.
It landed straight into the middle of the slowest Terminator queue, emitting the stinking smell of death and splashing oil. Then it swung its claw, tearing open the abdomen of one Terminator and hitting another into a roadblock, while Terminators' melt and assault guns tear off the pieces of demon metal and crystal on it.
Soshiyan also aimed at the flesh and blood between its eyes and the armor and heard Talos shouting in Nastum.
"Go back to hell!"
The Prophet used his chainsaw halberd to slash deep into its forelimbs and face, and the sword blade's teeth bounced into bones and metal, splashing out fragments and oil.
The creation staggered back, and the limbs lost their accuracy and seemed to fall.
But the thing suddenly roared again and slapped Talos with its huge claws.
At this time, Soshiyang had already rushed to the front of the Demon Engine with the Holy Flame Sword.
It swung a huge claw to cut him open, and Soshiyang avoided this, but the claws still brushed his backpack and teared off a piece of sparkling metal.
Then he inserted the sword deep into the skull of the creation, and never reached the hilt of the sword.
The monster twitched and roared, throwing Soshiyan backwards, causing him to fall to the floor.
"Well--"
As the Demon Engine struggled to fall to the ground, and as oil and sparks splashed out around, Soshiyang stood up, his armor was now in a mess, his left shoulder almost torn apart by the thing's claws.
At this time, the heresy of the Black Legion appeared again and opened fire. Soshiyan then pulled Talos on the ground into the bunker behind the barricade.
"Soshiyan, our troops and ammunition are not enough to support us in breaking this place,"
Talos's voice was disturbed by the fierce gunfire and buried by shouts and shouts of killing.
He leaned behind the roadblock and was hiding. The wound on his waist seemed to be serious and bleeding. He himself was injected with too many painkillers and calming drugs, so that everything he saw in his eyes flashed, and his skin seemed to be burning.
"It won't work if this continues."
He expressed his opinion to Soshiyan in a hoarse voice.
Soshiyan took a look behind the cover. Talos was right. Although their previous attack was indeed smooth, they also suffered a certain amount of casualties. More than 30 brothers had to withdraw from the battle. Most of the combat robots also withdrew from the battle for various reasons, and their ammunition was consumed hugely.
And the enemy side-
At least he could see that after the explosion of the door, nearly three hundred heretics were blocking.
There are some wizards among them, which is quite a problem.
Although they can hit the enemy's heart by just passing through that door, there will only be more enemy defenses between him and the gate leading to the command core.
Then, Soshyan summoned the technical sergeant Rogris.
"Catch me the commander of Randall's battle."
Soon, the communication was established, but full of interference.
"Is the leader of the Randall Battle? I am Soshiyan."
"Received, I'm Randall."
Although one end of the communicator was filled with white noise, Soshiyang could still hear the sound of gunfire from the secret.
"How is your situation?"
"The enemy resisted very resolutely! The soldiers sacrificed a lot! We were unable to use vehicles and heavy armor underground, so we were making very slow!"
"Where have you pushed?"
“It’s probably the area of D12-D13.”
Soshiyan opened the tactical map and glanced at it and found that the distance was indeed not ideal. He had been fighting for seven hours, and the White Temple had only advanced nine kilometers.
He then contacted the Ranger Warrior, Ascetic and Dark Angel, and found that everyone's progress was not ideal.
Among them, the Ranger Warriors were the least number and the weakest. Although they had the assistance of two Cadian regiments, they only advanced five kilometers, while the Dark Angels only advanced thirteen kilometers.
As they previewed before, once the battle goes underground, the Empire's greatest air and firepower advantages will be erased, and instead the Black Legion's advantage in the number and quality of Space Marines will be magnified.
Although a series of operations on the ground had seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the Black Legion, when the opponent retracted to the ground, Soshiyang realized that the weakening was far from enough.
The underground environment is much more complex than the ground. When they attack, the deeper they go, the more they must deploy enough power to the passages on both sides and behind to prevent the enemy from using secret passages to raid and backspin. Although the Knights of the Star Realm also have 400 people, there are only less than 200 people who can truly participate in the frontal breakthrough battle.
It is impossible to put all members in the attack on the Plague Temple like before, unless Soshyang is willing to risk being attacked by the enemy.
