"We have to deploy bombs strategically, these buildings are so strong."
After discovering an alien relic, Malakin's first thought was how to destroy it.
"Technical sergeant, set up the blast. The rest of you give him all your melta bombs, and then be on alert all around. We have seen the ability of the aliens, they can come out from anywhere at any time! Always be highly vigilant, keep your distance, and don't
Let them easily kill any one of us at the same time, for the Emperor."
"For the Emperor."
The other team members responded in unison.
Techmarine then took the other team members' melta charges, each of which was a bulky piece of equipment, and now he had a lot of them.
He climbed straight up onto the platform. Being exposed to alien technology like this disgusted him, but he kept going.
Accomplishing the mission, nothing is more important than this.
The crescent-shaped cannon was fixed with four clamps, two on each side. He had a dozen melta bombs in his hand, so he placed the melta explosives on the two clamps on the same side.
Then came this huge pyramid. He inspected the structure for a while and finally selected nine blasting points.
Emperor, may this be enough to blow it down.
He prayed like this, not knowing whether this was possible.
The Techmarine of the Lamenters knows nothing about the metallurgical techniques of the Necron, and he has no desire to learn about them because they are too evil and self-evident.
Just as the technical sergeant was installing the explosive device, Malakin suddenly heard some strange sound, similar to the sound of a drum, coming from beneath his feet.
"Fifth floor..."
He listened carefully for a moment to confirm that the sound was indeed coming from below.
His original idea was to destroy the alien ruins on the fourth floor and then withdraw underground, but apparently something had happened on the fifth floor. If he didn't confirm it, then they would undoubtedly still be sitting on a volcano crater.
So he ordered five veterans and went to the fifth floor with himself from a closer passage to check.
Along the way, he saw a lot of wreckage, including those of the Mechanicus and the Necrons. It seemed that the battle started from the fifth level.
But why is there almost no active Necron visible on the fourth floor?
As they went deeper, the sound of the drum became clearer and clearer, and Malakin became more and more alert.
They changed from walking quickly to walking in small steps. The moment they left the passage, they entered an extremely wide space.
This is almost an underground world, with almost no end in sight. In addition to a large number of stone pillars and stalagmites, there are various shaped statues and black pyramids.
In a sense, this is a huge underground city!
The location of the Weeper team is on a rock wall on the outskirts of the city, which is enough to overlook the structure of half of the city.
But Malakin's focus was not on this city, which was half the size of the hive. His gaze went beyond the city's protective walls and focused on the diffuse fog. He could clearly hear the sound of the drums coming from there.
transmitted.
"That is--"
In the thick fog that cannot be penetrated by eyes in the distance, groups of Necron infantry phalanxes slowly walked out. There were tens of thousands of them, and then there were various giant structures with three legs and four legs, and then there were
Then there are various vehicles and suspended miniature pyramids.
The target of this army of death seems to be the city in front of Malakin.
This seems a bit strange?
On one side of the city, a large army was also assembled. Malakin suddenly noticed that both sides were holding the same metal flag!
Is this a civil war?
It's so weird, even by alien standards, to be honest.
Just when Malakin was confused, the army belonging to the city suddenly started to move.
On the city wall, groups of turrets opened fire silently, and the energy beams trailing the green witch fire drew terrifying trajectories in the air.
And those vehicles suspended in mid-air also fired wave after wave of salvos from their huge main guns.
After ceremonially tapping their metal torsos with their arms, the undead infantry armed with Gauss rifles marched forward in unison.
It has to be said that the defenders' timing was perfect.
As soon as the first group of undead that launched the attack stepped out of the fog, the whizzing beams and disintegration rays hit their heads. They formed arcs of light trailing cold flames, illuminating the dark underground world.
Moreover, those shotgun-like thunder and flying green fire tore the attacker's phalanx to pieces together.
Despite the desperate firepower faced by the attackers, they remain willless puppets and know no fear.
Soon, the attackers responded.
Swarms of metal beetles emerged from the mist, and they immediately rushed towards the oncoming battle line of the defenders, like thousands of little devils with wings.
At the same time, some larger monsters flew out from between them.
They were spider-like creations, their saber-like claws capable of tearing an Astartes in half, while they continued to shoot destructive beams.
Such a sudden and unexpected air attack would have likely caused great chaos among the mortal battle lines, but nothing could frighten the dead, who faced the onslaught almost motionless.
The defenders' formations were so solid and deep that it was natural for them to have such a result.
Just as the two armies were about to engage in a close encounter, a figure flew into the center of the city's garrison array from the mist.
This huge beast is silver-white all over, its lower body is in the shape of a snake, and its upper body is much the same as other undead spirits, except that it has four arms, with two half-meter-long claws on its ribs, and the two arms on its shoulders are slightly thicker.
, two huge silver giant blades are installed on it.
It had amazing jumping ability, and it could see that it had passed the infantry in front, came to the back of the military formation, and the moment it landed, it swept across all directions with its terrifying giant tail.
What it faced was the Lich Guards, the backbone of the undead infantry.
But even so, they are still vulnerable to such terrifying monsters.
The rake-like sharp claws instantly shattered the shield that could withstand Gauss's tearing weapon into pieces, and set off waves of flying skulls, ribs and spines.
This attack from the rear slowed down the advance of the defenders, forcing them to stop and deal with this powerful beast.
Although it was only delayed for a moment, this time was so precious to the attackers that it allowed them to deploy more forces.
The second wave of phalanxes had emerged from the fog, and the lines of the third wave of phalanxes followed closely behind. At the same time, various vehicles suspended above them also opened fire on the city wall.
