Chapter 419 Infiltration
The fleet of the Astartes Chapter gathered in the void on the side of the Zerath Space Station. Here, they did not have to face the concentrated firepower of the entire Forge World. They could slightly smooth out the firepower gap between the two sides, and then the battleships and fortresses Start shooting.
The dark void was lit up by light spears, golden light intertwined, and macrocannon shells exploded in circles on the void shield with shining ripples. The torpedo shuttled through the void, and then was blown up by the close-in defense gun when it was about to approach the fortress and fleet, turning into a ball of fire.
This is space siege warfare.
Dull, boring and time consuming.
The advantage of the naval fleet is that it is fast and flexible, and it often does not have the firepower advantage when facing the entire planet. In the famous Gothic War of later generations, also known as the Twelfth Black Crusade, one of Abaddon's decision-making mistakes was to let his squadron fight against the planet's defense system, which greatly delayed the fighter plane.
The War Horse attacked the cruiser, closed the void shield, reduced the engine output, quietly circled around the star, and came to the back of the gaseous planet. Then it launched a shuttle, sank to the surface of the gaseous planet to collect data, and then returned to the battleship.
The cyclonic storm on the surface of Geras, the "brown patch" is slowly rotating away, the howling and raging wind has weakened slightly, and the giant gas pipelines under the Geras space station have re-stretched and drooped, slowly Planetary surface inserted.
The War Horse opened the hatch of Gnaku, and ten jet motorcycles flew out, carrying fully armed Iron Buddha Terminators. This string of small black dots swooped down and quickly disappeared on the surface of the gaseous planet. In the breathless clouds and storms.
…
"Boom, boom, knock, da, da, da…"
The noise completely overwhelmed Joestar's hearing.
His line of sight was also very poor, with visibility reaching only three to four meters. Everything he saw was covered in gray. The meteorite fragments whizzed past him and "swished" past him like bullets, hitting the jet motorcycle. The front of the car hit the shell of the power armor, making a dense and harsh sound of "ding, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong."
The jet motorcycle tactical team strives to maintain a compact and dense arrow formation, drifting and sinking in the deep sea of clouds and mist, because as long as the distance is slightly wider, the communication link between each other will be cut off, and the connection will be completely lost. .
Joestar carefully controlled the altitude, and the tactical team always stayed in the shallow gas layer of Zerath. They would not be noticed by the enemies in orbit by flying out of the planet's surface, nor would they sink too deep into the gaseous planet and be sucked into the abyss of the storm. .
"Switch formations and line up!"
Joestar yelled.
I don't know how much his voice still echoes in the communication channel filled with noisy static noise.
Fortunately, the entire tactical team heard it.
The arrow formation turned into a long snake formation.
Everyone followed Joestar.
Joestar activated the iron halo above his head.
The meteorite fragments that hit were immediately repelled by the invisible force field and flew towards Qiao Shida's surroundings. The tactical team formed a spear. The first company commander at the front was the spear tip, piercing through the clouds and mist. , splitting the sweeping wind.
The magnetic field generated by the rotation of the planet, as well as the year-round cyclones, cause large-scale lightning and magnetic storms to always exist in the gas on the surface of the planet. Ionization sparks crackle and flash, thunderclouds and storms spread everywhere, and from time to time a diameter of 100 meters passes by. Thick lightning tens of meters away was thrilling.
"Snapped!"
A dazzling white light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
A jetbike was struck by lightning.
"Mangtuo Guhun..."
Joestar's voice was only half shouted.
The jet motorcycle, together with the Iron Buddha Terminator on it, rolled and disappeared into the depths of the clouds and mist. At the same time, a rune light spot in the eyepiece field of view also dimmed.
"Fuck..."
Qiao Shida cursed inwardly.
You can only continue to focus on controlling the motorcycle.
But then Qiao Shida discovered that the thunderstorm was not without its benefits. At least the lightning that lit up from time to time penetrated the clouds and illuminated the surroundings. This allowed them to constantly use the light of lightning to correct their direction without deviating from the target.
Just thought of this.
A huge black shadow rolled towards me.
"Be careful of meteorites!"
Joestar yelled. His hands suddenly twisted the handles, and the jet motorcycle turned in an instant, narrowly avoiding the giant meteorite that suddenly struck. The riders following him changed directions in all directions to avoid the meteorite.
Then they reunited into a straight line.
"Their driving skills are better than mine..."
Look at the row of light spots in the eyepiece field of view.
Qiao Shida thought to himself.
The Cyan Mountain Heavy Power Armor is just like all other tactical fearless armors. As the wearer, Joestar cannot turn his head to look behind him, and even his left and right vision is very narrow. However, the various detectors, sensors and scanners built into the armor can It can also help him sense his surroundings.
At first, Joestar was worried that he would gradually deviate from the direction in the clouds and fog, even if there was lightning lighting up the front. But he soon discovered that he was worrying too much.
Looking at the Geras Space Station from the bridge, in the magnified field of view of the auspicious omen, those gas pipelines are like strands of drooping roots. When the tactical team got closer, they saw that the gas pipelines were towering black pillars that could not be reached at a glance. They were as thick as a high-rise building and were made up of link-shaped metal rings, like millipedes. .
The closer you get to the pipe, the thinner the clouds become.
The tactical team's vision gradually broadened.
At the end of the gas pipeline is a huge cloud mining equipment. The exhaust blower and the meteorite crusher are roaring. The saw-toothed steel mouth opens and closes, making a regular "pop" sound. The negative pressure of the air pushes the turbid clouds rich in minerals. When sucked into the pipe, larger ores will be cut and crushed.
Time reminder above the field of view: It took eight hours. Arriving at the target location successfully, only one person was lost.
"Group two by two and spread out."
Joestar ordered.
The tactical team quickly dispersed, each looking for a gas pipeline. Since an Iron Buddha Terminator had been sacrificed before, Joestar worked as a group and approached the gas pipeline in front of him. He ignored the cloud mining equipment that was in operation, but went directly to the side wall of the pipeline to control the jet. The motorcycle hovered in mid-air, and Qiao Shida picked up the double-barreled melt gun.
"boom!"
The weird blue hot melt flame cut through the side wall of the thick metal pipe. Joestar held the hot melt gun and drew a circle. The edge of the pipe wall was twisted and red molten iron. The negative pressure in the pipe sucked it together and moved towards it. Floating away quickly from above.
Joestar gave up the jet motorcycle as planned, jumped into the gap, and was instantly pulled by the huge suction force and disappeared into the pipe. An incomparable force lifted the Moon Wolf warrior up quickly, and the surroundings were pitch black, with only the sound of airflow "whisping" flying into the sky along with a lot of gravel and dust.
Several other groups of Iron Buddha Terminators followed the same pattern, using melta weapons to break open the pipe wall, and then entered the gas pipeline one after another, and their figures quickly disappeared inside the pipeline.
Unlike other chapters, which usually only have a few tactical dreadnoughts as treasures, they are often worn by the chapter leader himself. The Iron Buddha Chapter had fifty Terminator troops, but only dispatched a tactical squad.
Because Fu Qinghai is not very sure whether this penetration plan will work. What if there is a monitoring device installed at the end of the pipeline? What if the inside of the pipeline is impassable? In case... there were too many uncertainties, he only had a "give it a try" mentality and tried to find loopholes in the enemy's defense.
So far, everything seems to be going well.
…
Inside the Geras space station.
The huge and complex foundry workshop is roaring into operation day after day, extracting gas, classifying, processing, purifying and smelting. This is the key to the survival of the foundry world.
The tactical team cut the side wall of the pipeline, causing the inlet of the gas pipeline to expand in disguise, which then caused the pressure inside the pipeline to decrease. This data change was quickly fed back to the foundry workshop. The machine slaves who were always monitoring the production process immediately issued an alarm, and immediately Several tech-priests came over to check it out.
"what happened?"
"I have no idea."
No one spoke at the scene. Three black-robed oilmen were communicating using binary codes. The gas pipelines and cloud mining equipment had been operating normally for hundreds of years. Even if they had just encountered a cyclone storm, there should not be any failures. There was a fierce battle above them. After some silent exchanges, the three technical priests decided to open the pipe outlet to take a look out of caution.
"A total of five pipelines experienced abnormal air pressure."
"It's all concentrated in this area."
"Open this pipe outlet."
Without any order, the technical priest directly took over the control authority of the servitors. A section of the work was suspended, and the roaring noise that filled the entire factory space subsided slightly. The technical priest came to the connection between the gas pipeline and the space station.
"There appears to be some large foreign object inside the pipe."
"Did you suck in a large piece of meteorite?"
A code-level whisper.
…
Joestar, who was being lifted up by the suction force of air pressure, suddenly felt that he had stopped. However, because he was already in space and out of gravity, he did not fall directly, but was suspended in mid-air, together with the surrounding turbid air masses.
Then, a light lit up above his head.
Slowly lighting up the dark pipe space.
Joestar looked up.
The three oil guys looked down.
! ! !
"Close the door! Close the door!"
"Activate the reverse valve and spit him out!"
The oil man screamed and scrambled.
"That's too late……"
A cruel smile appeared on the Moon Wolf veteran's lips.
"Activate teleporter."
Qiao Shida said silently in his heart.
The Moon Wolf warrior is suspended in mid-air, still more than fifty meters away from the exit above his head, and the gate is closing quickly...
There was a flash of white light.
The figure in the pipe disappeared, and the black-gold armored giant instantly appeared above the three technical priests, and was captured again by the artificial gravity of the Zerath space station. The space warrior landed with a crash, and the heavy and huge iron boots crushed a pile of parts.
"010001101010..."
A chaotic scream of binary code.
"Welcome the Emperor's wrath, traitor!"
Joestar grinned ferociously, his deep voice sounded from the loudspeaker, and then he pulled the trigger brazenly.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The three black-robed technical priests were torn apart by heavy explosive shells in an instant, turning into flying metal parts and scraps of flesh and blood. After Qiao Shida killed the oil guy, he looked around, opened the communication channel, and said in a deep voice:
"I have successfully arrived at the Zerath Space Station. The members of the Sting Hook Team have reported to me the situation."
"To your right, sir."
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Following several explosions, blue molten flames rushed out of the steel gate, and several groups of Iron Buddha Terminators emerged from the gas pipeline. They did not need to activate short-distance teleportation, and could use melta weapons to open the exit. Grille.
"I'm in position, sir."
"Arrived successfully, sir."
"very good."
Qiao Shida nodded:
"Everyone is moving closer to me, and the priority is to find the void shield generator of Zerath Space Station... Bazi!"
Before he finished speaking, his voice was quickly interrupted by a burst of noisy and harsh static noise. After the static noise continued for a while, a hoarse and sharp unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel of the tactical team:
"The lackeys of the false emperor, the scum who have abandoned their faith in the God of All Machines, I see you! Get ready to greet..."
"Crack!"
"Turn off the communication channel."
Qiao Shida said calmly:
“Communicate using a megaphone.”
"Closed, sir."
The Iron Buddha Terminators spoke out one after another.
The communication channel has been invaded by the enemy.
With the technical level of the Dark Mechanicum, this is almost bound to happen, and it is not worth making a fuss about.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of the gate closing sounded one after another.
Qiao Shida turned his head and saw that all the passage gates around the foundry were closing automatically, and they made a "click" and "click" sound of sealing and locking.
With a thought in the Moon Wolf Warrior's mind, the conversion beam weapon on his right shoulder automatically aimed at a gate. The dazzling white beam was shot out, and a series of firelights erupted from the surface of the steel gate. As the conversion beam continued to be output, a circle was quickly drawn.
"Bang!"
Qiao Shida kicked open the hatch.
"Come with me."
…
Joe Star led the tactical team to a wide passage. The hatch at the end of the passage opened, and five bipedal, hunched-back intelligent robots filed out of the hatch.
Each of them holds a multi-barreled rotary cannon. There is a hook-shaped power blade under the muzzle. The cracking force field arc flashes. There is a particle lightning cannon above the head. It should belong to some unknown and taboo Mechanicum. arms.
A greedy hunting intelligent robot.
The sound of "buzzing" engine rotation came, and a group of flying intelligent robots that looked like mechanical flies flew out from behind the hatch. They used several sets of turbofans to float into the air. In the middle of the two mechanical tentacles was an arc blaster. , the arc weapon of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and two havoc missile launchers on the side.
Greedy eagle type intelligent control robot.
Also translated as Voltarax intelligent control robot.
The Intelligent Control Corps is indeed here.
Joestar knew this was going to be a tough fight.
"Activate the shield system."
Qiao Shida said solemnly.
As his words fell, all the Iron Buddha Terminators turned on the atomic shield generators on their shoulders. As soon as the defensive force field emerged, thick arcs and dense bullets immediately followed, bombarding the transparent shield.
"Boohoo!"
Not to be outdone, Joestar used the Cyclone missile launcher and two cube-shaped twin missile compartments above his head to destroy all armor-piercing missiles and out-of-control missiles in one go.
In the missile nest in the Cyan Mountains, Fu Qinghai deployed missiles aimed at intelligently controlled mechas in advance.
Armor-piercing missiles are equipped with shaped charges with huge energy but low explosive power. They are usually used against armored vehicles or heavy infantry. They can also be used against intelligent robots.
The runaway missile is a special support missile used by the Titan Legion. When it explodes, it will produce extremely strong static electricity disruption and electromagnetic pulse (EMP), destroying the target electronic system. This weapon is especially deadly against other Titans because it will damage the Titan's The Mental Impulse Unit (MIU), used to attack the circuits in the body of the intelligent robot, is simply overqualified.
"Boom boom boom!"
The smoke and dust from the explosion have not completely dissipated.
The Iron Buddha Terminator holding a power horse and the etheric aura flashing as it teleported has already charged out.
…
After struggling to deal with this mixed formation of intelligently controlled robots, the Iron Buddha Terminator once again sacrificed one person.
There was no time to be sad, and no time to recover the gene seeds. Qiao Shida led the remaining team members and ran quickly in a long and narrow passage. There was a transparent window on the side of the passage. Looking out through the window, you could clearly see yourself. It is currently located in the upper area of Zelas Space Station.
The dark expanse of space serves as the background.
There are endless rail stations, criss-crossing large and small passages, and the middle is covered with track slabs. There are also densely packed close-in defense guns and rapid-fire guns, which are constantly turning and aiming, and continue to fire at the torpedoes in the sky. Rows of macrocannon turrets contracted one after another, spitting out giant shells the size of cars. After the light spear array cooled down, the golden beam of light pierced the void, making people close their eyes and couldn't bear to look directly. There were still a few spots of light remaining in the retina.
The bombardment in space continues.
Qiao Shida deeply felt that his mission was important.
The front hatch opened.
A large group of Skitarii vanguards and Skitarii Rangers, led by a Skitarii Alpha, poured into the passage without making any shouts. Soon, under the command of Captain Alpha, they disappeared silently. Quickly forming a three-row shooting formation, the lightning rifles and arc rifles in his hands were all aimed at Joestar and the tactical team behind him.
Skitarii Alpha, with a metal-masked face expressionless, raised the high-frequency vibrating knife in his hand.
"Ta-ta-ta! Zizz!"
Radiation bullets and tiny arcs of electricity hit him.
It crackled as it hit the shield.
"snort!"
Qiao Shida sneered and shouted:
"Magnetic shoes!"
An electric arc flashed with a "Crack" sound at their feet, and the Iron Buddha Terminators activated their magnetic shoes one after another, adhering themselves firmly to the metal deck while holding onto the weapons in their hands.
Joestar raised the melt cannon, but instead of aiming it at the group of skitarii, he aimed it at the bulkhead next to him.
"boom!"
The blue hot melt flame spurted out, and in an instant it ablated a large hole through the not-so-thick bulkhead. A huge negative pressure was formed in an instant, and the air in the cabin began to "whisper" and suck outwards. The Skitarii soldiers They were no longer silent, they screamed one after another, and were all sucked into space by this huge hole.
"Crack! Crack!" "Crack! Crack!"
Magnetic shoes lock every time you take a step.
Joestar led the tactical team through the hole.
He turned around and glanced.
Outside the passage, a large group of skitarii were floating messily in the void, surrounded by various weapons. A layer of frost slowly formed on the exposed skin on the neck. The lack of oxygen and low temperature in outer space had taken away the their lives.
Only one shot was fired to kill these traitors.
Joestar withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward.
…
Su Zheng, bridge.
A fierce battle was taking place outside the porthole.
Fu Qinghai sat in the captain's chair, not looking at the battle scene outside the window, nor paying attention to the information on the screens around him. He smacked his cheeks in boredom and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, like an idle outsider. .
At this moment, Eugene suddenly shouted:
"Khan, new situation!"
"Oh? What's going on?"
Fu Qinghai immediately raised his head and asked.
"The void shield of an orbital station suddenly failed. Look, it's at that location."
Eugene said with excitement.
Fu Qinghai looked in the direction of Eugene's finger. In the picture displayed on the screen, at a certain orbital station of the Zeras Space Station, the void shield suddenly went out. It seemed that it was not a simple short-term overload, but completely extinguished. .
The following light spears and macro cannons landed on top of the orbital station in an instant. All orbital defense facilities suddenly turned into a sea of fire. Both the close defense weapon system and the light spear macro cannons were twisted and disappeared in the raging flames. .
The breakthrough...is open!
Fu Qinghai was ecstatic and immediately ordered:
"Tell other chapter fleets to stop shooting immediately and stop shooting in that area!"
Don't destroy my tactical team as well.
On the screen of the communication array, half-body holographic projections of all chapter leaders appeared one by one. Nasir Amit, leader of the Flesh Tearers Chapter, couldn't wait to ask:
"What happened? Was the infiltration successful?"
"I think so."
Fu Qinghai nodded:
"Then now..."
Several chapter leaders looked at each other:
"Prepare to land!"
The holographic projections disappeared one by one.
Outside the armored porthole, all of a sudden, various boarding torpedoes, Thunderhawk gunships, orbital drop pods, fist assault boats, shark assault boats... all flew towards that area.
That area has no ability to fight back.
The battle barges and strike cruisers of the Space Marines opened their respective garrisons one after another, and the drop bay launch ports and torpedo launch tubes were also spitting out various landing vehicles one after another.
Fu Qinghai stood up and left the captain's chair, strode down the marble stairs beside the bridge, and said as he walked:
"All Space Marines, follow me to the teleporter deck."
"Yes, Khan!"
