Chapter 208: The original body who doesnt like close combat
"Those guys are so damn tall..."
"Otherwise, use a firearm with a larger caliber than .50."
"Man, they may not be using guns, but cannons."
Even more uneasy than Shirley are the UNSC elites.
Within half an hour, what they witnessed on Deimos completely overturned their understanding of the world.
The lieutenant's expression was quite complicated, as he stared at Leon and Shirley not far away.
As an officer, the lieutenant knew that Umbrella's true size was astonishing, and this was something that all UNSC officers knew well.
After all, when the UEG and UNSC were first established, the UNSC and the Umbrella Armed Forces jointly launched many operations. Even now, there are still a large number of cooperative operations every year, and the relationship is very close.
The lieutenant knew that the equipment of Umbrella's covert troops was much higher-end than that of their group of UNSC elites. However, after seeing with his own eyes the overwhelming momentum of the demonic Astartes, the lieutenant realized that he had underestimated Umbrella too much.
Pulled.
On the other hand, the survivors gathered at the "pier" of Deimos experienced facts that would be even more difficult for the lieutenant to accept.
The "pier" is not a small parking port like Lyon and Shirley's, but a large area that can accommodate two pioneer engineering ships to unload cargo at the same time. Various transport aircraft and transport boats are also moored on the edge of the apron.
Not long ago, the remaining marines stationed in Deimos rushed to the dock to protect thousands of survivors.
They wanted to evacuate, but were blocked and massacred by a large number of demons.
But now the situation is reversed, and those who are being massacred become the demons.
Because another Thunder transport plane was also parked here at the dock, not only bringing thirty-five Astartes to the humans here, but also their original body Magnus.
Like the nine brothers, Magnus is tall and wears the original power armor made by the craftsman god Hephaestus. The main body is black, with red and gold as embellishments. It is the iconic color of the Thutmose Legion.
.
Although the long-handled scimitar hanging on his waist was also made by Hephaestus, it was hastily named "The Blade of Wisdom" by Magnus because he didn't like close combat very much.
Magnus was more pious and studious than his brothers.
Before being able to stand alone, he was always around Sui Bian, absorbing a lot of knowledge from his father, especially about psychic powers and ancient history.
Therefore, Sui Bian also gave the Astartes he led the title "Thutmose", which means a warrior with knowledge and firm belief.
In terms of understanding of psychic powers, he and Sanguinius far surpassed all their brothers, so Magnus was more willing to use psychic powers to solve anomalies that were hostile and threatening to humans.
After learning of the sudden loss of contact with Deimos and feeling the emergence of demons, Magnus immediately led Thutmose on two Thunder transport planes that were much faster than the Fishing Gull II, leaving the surface of Mars and rushing to Deimos.
The wave that made Leon, Shirley and others feel warm before, but caused half of the demons to self-destruct, was the psychic energy he released, which lifted the communication shield suffered by Deimos, and also solved the problem of being unable to resist this spiritual energy.
of devil.
Inside the current pier.
As soon as Magnus stepped out of the cabin, he waved his right hand and displayed a giant psychic shield that was visible to the naked eye and emitted a light red light.
Immediately, this psychic shield that almost bisected the dock horizontally blocked the long-range attacks from the demon, ensuring that no survivor would die in front of his eyes.
The next move perfectly demonstrated Magnus's unwillingness to engage in close combat.
He raised his left hand flat, stretched out his five fingers, and used the pulse radar of the power armor to scan everything nearby. Together with the field of view provided by the helmet screen, he locked onto all the demons "within sight."
Then, he clenched his fist hard with his left hand.
The UNSC Marines standing behind the psychic shield didn't have time to think about what the psychic shield was all about when they saw the demons outside the shield self-destructing one after another.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The endless stream of bodies self-destructed, covering up the demon's fearful and painful wailing, and also covering up the survivors' incomprehensible and confused exclamations.
In an instant, the demon army that originally made the survivors despair became a mass of minced meat.
If the lieutenant at the landing port sees this scene, he will definitely refresh his understanding of Umbrella again.
After self-destruction.
"What is going on?! Sergeant! Sergeant!"
"Sir! The fortress's communications are back to normal! Our superiors ordered us to cooperate with Umbrella's armed forces!"
The roars of the Marines filled the entire dock.
Due to Magnus, the communication shield caused by the demon failed, allowing the Marines to regain contact with the outside world.
"Oh my god, are these the reinforcements sent by Umbrella?"
"It's so damn high... Look at their weapons, look at their armor..."
At this time, the marines had noticed the thirty-five Astartes who had walked outside the psychic shield and were on alert.
Moreover, the holographic display on the helmet also showed the Marines that the Astartes were friendly units affiliated with Umbrella.
"Huh...huh..."
Magnus, who had eliminated all threats at once, put down his left hand and took several deep breaths in his helmet to relieve the fatigue caused by releasing psychic attacks.
Then, Magnus took the initiative to walk towards a Marine who was stunned by him, as if he was stunned.
"Soldier." Magnus asked in a very friendly tone: "Who is the supreme commander here?"
"Human...you can speak...human language?" the Marine asked in shock.
"Haha, I'm a human, so of course I can speak human language." Magnus was amused by the Marine.
However, he could understand why the other party said that, and then unfolded the helmet of the power armor, revealing an appearance that was no different from that of a human being.
I saw that Magnus had short dark brown and reddish hair. Although he was not as handsome as Sanguinius, he was still handsome and had a very polite temperament.
"Soldier, I am Umbrella's original body and I am your support. Please take me to see your commander." Magnus smiled.
"Okay...come with me."
The Marines still found it difficult to accept the existence of a "human" who was more than four meters tall, but they were no longer as shocked as before, so they led Magnus towards a man wearing a dark blue beret who was guarded by many Marines and officers.
Lieutenant Colonel.
!!!
Seeing Magnus approaching, the reaction of a group of people was much more exciting than that of a Marine. Only the lieutenant colonel, who was about fifty years old, remained calm.
"Lieutenant Colonel." Magnus didn't care about the reactions of others, but said to the lieutenant colonel:
"I have detected a large number of survivors inside Deimos. My men are responsible for mopping up the enemy, and I need you to send marines deep inside and escort those survivors to retreat to the dock."
