Just when Soshiyang straightened up and was facing the next Tomb Spider, an unprecedented tremor penetrated the soles of his boots and knocked him to the ground.
When he got up, he noticed changes in all directions, as if the entire world engine was beginning to disintegrate.
On the ground, on the walls, even on pillars and statues, millions of alien characters flashed with a sickening green light.
To make matters worse, a large number of undead warriors appeared from both sides of the gate, and they kept approaching with the hissing sound when green energy was activated, while the team led by Forlo was still fighting hard against the tomb spiders.
The only good news is that the closed door cracked a gap due to the strong tremors, which was enough to allow the Space Marines to pass through.
After flipping the tomb spider off his body, Forlo stood up again and immediately issued a new order.
"Alexei, take your people to support the Chapter Commander, and we will stand behind you!"
"Follow...what?"
"Excuting an order!"
Before Soshyan could continue to ask questions, Forlo yelled:
"Concentrate your fire! Clear the way!"
In an instant, the corridor echoed with the roar of blaster fire. The intensive firepower immediately tore apart the undead that blocked the battlefield and the gate. More of them twitched and emitted sparks, and then collapsed to the ground, letting the saints
Beetles climb onto their bodies to repair them.
"quick!"
At Forlo's urging, Soshyan threw away all thoughts and began to run faster and continue to shoot forward.
Nad and Axel were on his left and right, forming an assault arrow that penetrated deep into the ranks of Necron infantry.
The limping Occam volunteered to take the rear position, moving with difficulty, occasionally stopping to fire a series of explosive bombs on the way they came from behind.
"Melta bomb!! Thirty second fuse!"
Forlo's roar echoed in the communication channel, and Soshyan could only rush forward, running towards the crack in the door.
But when they got closer, they discovered that the place was not unobstructed.
The fifth tomb spider loomed over the door, but it was so motionless before that people mistakenly thought it was a statue.
When Soshyan and his party approached, it revived.
The huge metal structure twisted and trembled on the black base. The green crystal cluster connected to the head flickered on and off, and energy pulsed in the circuit connected to the base.
"You guys keep moving forward! I'll cover you!"
Occam, who arrived last, took off the last grenade from his waist and threw it at the awakening tomb spider.
There was a loud bang. Under the cover of grenades, Soshyan and the other three dispersed through the gap in the door. Just as Occam also moved forward, a metal appendage stretched out from the destruction cloud formed by the explosion.
, whipped at the veteran.
The blow cut deeply into Occam's shoulder, causing him to stagger back.
Although no blood was caused, Occam lost the opportunity to enter the rift.
"Soshyan, don't look back, keep walking."
After saying these words, Occam turned off his communicator, raised his gun and fired at the target.
Amidst the roar, projectiles destroyed one of the appendages of the structure in the burst of blue flames, but that was all because the undead warriors behind had already caught up.
boom--
There was a flash of light and a huge explosion, and Soshiyang finally realized that he had entered the central temple.
"This place looks like it's falling apart."
Even on such occasions, Axel maintained a minimum of humor.
But he was right, because at the entrance of this huge temple, part of the dome had collapsed and the ground had begun to collapse. If they stayed here longer, they would probably be crushed or trapped.
"Continue to go."
Soshyan's voice was accompanied by a thunderous roar of bombs. He turned his head and looked over his backpack at the way he came.
Through the crack in the door, Soshyan could clearly see that the dazzling green light disappeared, replaced by the crackle of the Skinner's claws and the emerald eyes full of hatred burning in the darkness.
It was impossible to look back, and the roar of bolters gradually faded away...
After Soshyan briefly observed a few seconds of silence for his battle brothers, he took Nad and Axey deeper. They passed through the grand corridor and entered a hall full of statues and ordnance. Everywhere they looked was broken.
The metal remains, with occasional glimpses of blood-stained silver.
Apparently there had been a fierce battle here.
But what is surprising is that there are still a small number of complete aliens on the ground, with only one huge eye on their bare heads, and some exaggerated long-range weapons scattered around them.
There are no visible scars on the appearance of these strange undead spirits, they just lie motionless on the ground.
The three of them were very careful when passing them. Soshyan even shot one of them in the head, but there was still no reaction.
"No one, no alien."
The muzzle of Nad's gun kept moving to the right of the three-man team, but there was only dead silence in the hall, and darkness that even night vision goggles could not penetrate.
"It's really strange."
Axel suddenly spoke, while he was on guard on the left.
"What?"
Soshyan paused.
"Don't you think it's strange?"
Axel turned his head towards him, and even through his helmet, Soshyan could tell what the other person's expression was.
"Lord Forlo, it seems that he is here just to escort you in. The previous company commander had the same attitude. It's almost... it's as if they are fighting for you."
"What weird things are you talking about?"
"I've always felt that way too."
Nad's voice joined the channel.
"Soshyan, there is something I didn't tell you. When we entered the landing module, I found that the Chapter Commander seemed to have been watching us."
"Chapter Master?"
Soshyan recalled for a moment, but did not notice whether Amurad appeared.
"Yes, I saw it very clearly. He was standing with the foundry master Sarax, about two hundred meters away from us, behind a shelf-"
Before he could finish his words, a bolt of lightning shot through the air like a whip and hit Nad directly.
"ah!"
With a low roar, Nader staggered back. He looked down and found that his left arm had turned into a bloody severed limb.
"Enemy attack!"
Axel's roar immediately came to mind, and Soshyan quickly raised his gun and looked around.
Countless figures were seen moving in the deep darkness, and they were gathering together. The green-light weapons crackled with the terrifying energy operation. Further away, the outline of a pyramid was gradually emerging.
boom----------!
Just when Soshyan and his party were almost surrounded, the roar and shock like a volcanic eruption was transmitted through the earth to the soles of their boots. The three space warriors quickly activated the magnetic locks to fix themselves in place, while the necromancer machines seemed to
He fell down one after another like a pushed puppet.
Then, a terrible collapse occurred in the hall, and millions of tons of boulders fell. Soshyan and his two comrades hurriedly took cover.
During this process, Soshyan saw a huge structure rising into the void through the gap in the dome. It was shaped like a huge and sharp sickle.
After hanging in mid-air for a short time, it flew away at an incredible speed, followed by two smaller models.
Soshyan knew these were Necron craft, but their posture reminded him of the escape pods on the Tempest.
It seems that they are running away...
However, considering the characteristics of these soulless machines, it is unbelievable that they would give up the fight and flee. Are these undead souls not of the same mind?
Just when Soshyan was focusing on the abnormality in the sky, the already shaky dome collapsed completely. Before a pile of boulders came towards him, a hand pushed him hard from behind.
