"Sir, we are being attacked by those mortals. We need to show them that we are space warriors, not animals."
Armin whispered angrily, in his heart, he wanted to teach those guys a lesson.
"No, there are other people nearby."
Suddenly, the voice of Thor, who had been silent all this time, sounded on the channel. Wearing ordinary power armor and a helmet, he looked no different from other warriors. The only difference was the sword on his waist.
"Silence."
Soshyan immediately gave the order, then turned around and came to the back of the team, where Saul was.
He carefully observed the jungle, and with the help of night vision equipment and infrared observers, he discovered the sneaky figures moving in the jungle.
They looked like mortals armed with simple light weapons, but they were numerous and surrounded them from all directions.
Soshyan's team happened to be between them and the city's defenders.
Moreover, due to the night and the complex environment of the jungle, these people did not recognize what was in front of them. They mistakenly thought that the city's defenders had entered the jungle, so they also launched an attack on the target.
For a time, the jungle was filled with gunshots and shouts.
"Kill them!"
Soshyan then heard Armin shout a war cry, emphasizing his anger in a loud voice.
"Armin, reorganize the team."
Soshyan shouted to his men.
"If anything comes at us from behind, kill them immediately."
Soon, the roar of bombs and the sound of flesh being torn could be heard from the depths of the jungle, as well as the screams of death and the wails of the seriously injured.
Suddenly, the earth shook. Soshyan turned his head and saw a passage in the jungle being shoveled, and tree sap was spraying outward from the trees that had been chopped into pieces.
A sentinel mecha tower like a legendary giant stood in front of Soshyan. A harvesting chain saw was fixed on the front end of this bipedal mecha's mechanical arm, and a heavy flamethrower was installed directly under the cockpit.
Perhaps because the jungle was too dark, the Sentinel mecha activated its flamethrower before the identity of the target could be identified.
A bright fireball shot through the jungle, turning everything in its path to ashes.
Soshyan's superhuman reflexes barely saved his life, and he hid under the Sentinel mecha in one sprint.
He knew that the flames shot out in a cone shape, which meant that the safest place was right next to the Sentinel mecha.
Of course, most Sentinels are not equipped with melee weapons.
This pincer-shaped weapon, which was obviously removed from a farm harvester, roared in a burst of thick black smoke, turned downwards, drew a fatal arc, and went straight to the silver-gray figure.
Soshiyang raised the red-glow Sheng Yan Sword in his hand and tried to resist.
In an instant, the kinetic energy of the huge chain saw even made the Space Marine's arms feel numb.
Soshyan gritted his teeth, tensed his strengthened muscles, and held the sword in his hand tightly. The runes on the sword glowed faintly in the fierce confrontation.
Soon, the teeth of the chain saw were blown away, and then Soshiyang slammed forward. The Shengyan sword cut into the inside of the machine body, and sparks flew out from between the blade and the gear.
Soshyan could hear the rest of the team fighting fiercely with the unidentified enemies.
From the sounds of collisions, bolter fire, and bones breaking, he probably knew that this was definitely a one-sided massacre.
Without waiting for the Heavy Sentinel to activate again, Soshyan raised his sword with both hands and slashed at the knee joints of the Sentinel Mecha's legs.
With a bang, the Sheng Yan Sword cut off the transmission shaft, and the sentry suddenly lost his balance.
It struggled to hold on with its only remaining leg for a few seconds, then fell forward, and the flamethrower nozzle also fell into the dirt.
"roll!"
At the same time, Armin angrily threw a corpse onto a high branch. It was a thin man wearing ragged clothes.
The roar of the bolt guns echoed, and the other team members easily drove those people back. Even if it was a sneak attack, these mortals were no match for the demigods.
And they also recognized what they were facing and immediately lost their courage.
Although the gunfire stopped, the ground began to shake again, and other enemies came.
Soshyan felt the vibrations on the ground, and based on the noise from the engine, he could tell the direction of the vehicle.
The defenders sent new ones to burn the entire jungle to ashes.
The blazing flames from the heavy flamethrowers illuminated the power armor of the Astartes, and the demigods emerged from the sea of fire, but the defenders did not seem to realize anything yet.
"They thought we were enemies and opened fire on us."
"Kill them all!"
"Don't worry."
Soshyan suppressed Armin's anger, then stepped forward to grab the hatch of the destroyed Sentinel mecha.
The Space Marine used astonishing power to tear open the hatch, and a frightened and wet pilot was exposed in the cockpit.
"come out."
Soshyan ordered.
The pilot said something, then jumped out of the hatch and lay on the ground.
Soshyan then pulled out a communicator from inside.
"Damn it!"
Soon, he let out an angry growl and shook the small trophy in his hand.
This communicator is broken.
"Brothers, stay where you are."
After giving the order, Soshyan ran as fast as he could and rushed into the shooting area. The heavy logging guns on the wall responded immediately, and the ground suddenly became dusty.
He changed directions, dodged bullets, and tried to observe his surroundings.
The bullet hit Soshyan's shoulder armor, but did not interrupt his footsteps.
To his left, another Sentinel mecha equipped only with a flamethrower rushed forward, but it was still out of range.
To his right, he saw the source of the previous fire, an armored tracked vehicle converted from a tractor.
He hoped that the defenders would recognize that the giant in silver-gray power armor in front of them was not a jungle beast.
Sure enough, the Sentinel mecha slowed down, maybe the pilot still had some sense.
But the gun towers on the wall were still firing, and luckily they lacked crosshairs.
However, it seemed that the driver of the modified armored vehicle was frightened and actually started its engine and rushed towards Soshyan.
The Space Marines also began to charge.
He roared, tensed his legs, and used the auxiliary power in his armor to jump towards the armor.
The next second, Soshyan stepped heavily on the hood of the armored vehicle, then tore open the roof of the cockpit with his bare hands, dragged out the screaming mortals inside one by one, and threw them aside.
His plan succeeded.
The gun tower stopped firing, and the people on the city wall and the lone sentry mecha became hesitant.
Soshyan took a deep breath, stood up and took off his helmet.
"In the name of the Emperor!"
he shouted:
"You have committed an unpardonable crime by attacking the Adeptus Astartes!"
A panic broke out on the city wall. Most of these people could not understand Gothic and were just frightened by the giant's roar. However, among the defenders, Soshyan saw some figures wearing gorgeous clothes.
That kind of true leader emerges.
"It is the Astartes! The Emperor's Angels have arrived!"
The senior people's eyesight is indeed much better than that of ordinary people. They recognized the identities of these giants at a glance, and panic and shock quickly spread on the parapet.
"Open the door."
Soshyan only said two words in the end.
The gates to Thetis City shuddered open, and the Space Marine squad finally emerged from the jungle.
