Chapter 441 Space War, boy!

Chapter 441 Space War, boy!

Augustus looked up at the castle in the distance.

The building of the ebony fortress stretches down a mountain peak, and the top platform is surrounded by clouds and mist. In ancient times, it was definitely an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place. However, for a science fiction universe, the aesthetic significance of this terrain is greater than the defensive significance. ——There is no doubt that this is a beautiful castle.

The Draenei looked away and said:

"There's no news from Casey yet. Let's wait a little longer and seize the time to recover."

After speaking, Augustus grabbed a handful of magic potion, uncorked the bottle and poured it into his mouth.

After coming to the Warhammer 40K universe, since there are no six original power settings, the two mages can hardly restore magic power naturally. However, the Zero Realm Guild is very experienced in this situation. The land reclamation team assimilated many magic recovery potions in advance and used Koke. Use medicine to restore your status.

From this perspective, the difference between sci-fi side reincarnators and magic side reincarnations is not very big. One needs to assimilate fuel and ammunition, and the other needs to assimilate various potions. In any case, they spend money. If you have money, you are a boss.

Augustus drank five tubes of Void Essence Energy Drink and one bottle of Cenarion Mana Ointment to restore his magic power to its peak state, and his burps smelled like magic medicine. After a battle, one-third of his pocket was empty. Augustus felt a little distressed. He looked at Olivia and asked:

"It's so strenuous. I said, this should be the upper limit of combat power on this planet, right?"

Olivia shook her head:

"As far as I know, what we just faced is the smallest Titan in the Mechanicus."

The smallest Titan...

The reincarnators felt a bit toothache.

…

Ebony fortress.

"You mean, they expected a banquet to be held in the Ebony Fortress yesterday?"

Tristan asked in surprise.

The night elf player answered honestly:

"Yes, it is true. We are in the ruins and there are no news channels. It is all said by the 'Prophet Agu'. She is very instigative among the Chaos believers. She also said that the Draconis family has lost everything. Knight, Ebony Fortress is a complete empty city.”

Tristan only reserved two hours for the farewell ceremony of the Draconis family. For those nobles who were accustomed to red tape and luxurious banquets, this time was already very tight. In just two hours, even if someone discovered the emptiness of the ebony fortress, it would be too late to cause trouble. But the head pastor missed one thing—prophecy.

This is a very unreasonable method.

Tristan clicked his tongue.

If he had enough troops, he would definitely capture the "Prophet Agu" and torture her to let her know the consequences of playing with psychic powers to murder an imperial knight family. It's a pity... It's a pity that Khan only sent He gave himself two squads of Space Marines, otherwise he must let these magicians know the price of prophecy in Warhammer 40K.

"What camp is the Zero Realm Guild?"

Tristan asked directly.

The night elf hesitated and said:

"The Empire of Man."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Tristan glanced at the night elf's pointed ears and could only comment like this. Randomly assigned to the camp of the Human Empire, the largest force in the galaxy, for this group of aliens, I don't know whether they are lucky or unlucky.

"Tristan, for the sake of the fact that we all once belonged to the alliance camp, can you let me go? I just came in to inquire about information. I didn't hurt anyone."

The night elves began to plead for mercy.

The head pastor smiled.

"I have been away from the continent of Azeroth for a long time. Whether the Alliance or the Horde does not mean anything to me. But I can agree to your request. You can leave."

Tristan waved his hand and said.

He was a little surprised that the night elves recognized him, but he didn't find it very strange.

Tristan is an old player, which can be seen from the fact that he has joined the Silver Hand.

The Knights of the Silver Hand are the birthplace of the Paladin profession. Alonsos Faol merged the priest and warrior professions together to create the Paladin. The Silver Hand was disbanded many years ago and became a series of branches such as the Brotherhood of Light, the Silver Crusade, and the Scarlet Crusade. Tristan has participated in the Silver Hand, which is like a Space Marine who has participated in the Terra Unification War. In the World of Warcraft universe, he can definitely be said to be experienced in many battles.

It’s not surprising that someone knows him.

The night elf nodded, without silently reciting a spell or making a spell-casting gesture, and his body gradually disappeared from sight. This night elf thief's combat ability is not very good, but she is definitely a master of stealth. At least her stealth will not be seen through the thermal imaging view. This alone has surpassed most optical stealth technologies on the technological side.

After the night elves left, the chief priest turned and walked towards the venue, and loudly ordered in the communication channel:

"The party is cancelled."

"Hurry up and move immediately."

…

Tristan did not expect that the night elf thieves had just left the Ebony Fortress and came back not long after.

Seven people of different heights, fatness and thickness, wearing cloaks and hoods, stood outside the gate of the ebony fortress.

The tall man at the head raised his head and shouted:

"Tristan, the last Silver Hand Knight of Azeroth. I am Augustus Crofts of the Zero Realm Guild. I am here to convey this news to you - the four spear formations of the Malinax family. The Ebony Fortress has been surrounded, and more knights are coming. You need our help."

As if using some kind of magic, the Draenei's voice was extremely loud and penetrated a long distance.

The priest standing at the top of the city gate shook his head, and the loudspeaker on his neck armor also raised the volume:

"Don't call me 'The Last Silver Hand', Augustus, the Knights have been disbanded, and I am now the hermit master of the Iron Buddha Chapter. In addition, thank you for the news, but we do not need you. Help. Sorry, I can't let you in due to your status."

Tristan didn't know how many of the people coming from the Zero Realm Guild were humans and aliens. Letting one night elf go was enough to give him face. If the other six players were all aliens, then the guild would inevitably be burdened with "colluding with aliens". " Suspicion.

Although the chapter has already committed numerous heretical acts, and it seems that this crime is not lacking, those are all decisions made by Qingshan Khan himself. Tristan is very clear about his position. He is only the hermit leader, not the leader of the chapter, and he is not qualified to replace him. Khan made this decision - even if he wants to cooperate with the Zero Realm Guild, it must be ordered by Khan himself. He was only ordered to take over the remaining clan members and family property of the Draconis family, and the chief priest did not want to cause trouble on his own initiative.

Augustus saw that Tristan's attitude was so resolute, leaving no room for negotiation or concession. He could only shake his head helplessly, turned to look at his men, and said:

"Let's go, let's find another way."

The seven people were about to turn around and leave when they suddenly noticed that on the horizon in the distance, a few puffs of smoke were rising, and they could vaguely see a spear formation composed of multiple knight mechas striding towards them... The reincarnators were being It is blocked and there is no way to retreat.

Augustus turned again.

Spread your hands facing the city gate:

"Tristan..."

Even in the face of such a crisis, the draenei still maintained the arrogance and character of high-level players. They did not beg the chief priest to open the door, but just looked helpless.

The chief pastor was silent for a while.

A distant knight is approaching.

Augustus was expressionless.

"Open the city gate."

Tristan ordered in a deep voice.

With the hissing of the generator set and the hydraulic boom, the beautifully carved thick armored city gate slowly opened. The laser cannon and cannon on the city gate slightly adjusted their angles to point into the distance, no longer targeting the few players locked under the city gate. .

Augustus led the members of the community through the city gates.

Instead of hiding inside the building, several players turned around and climbed up the stairs to the city gate and came to the side of the chief priest. The draenei came closer and lowered their voices and said:

"I know you are still upset about not being able to join the Zero World Guild, but that is not my decision. The Zero World Guild is very big, and there are many different voices in the council. I cannot decide everything. The Zero World Guild is still willing to... …”

"Stop it, Augustus."

Tristan raised his hand and interrupted:

"I have my own club. Don't mention the past. It's impossible for me to join the Zero World Guild."

"OK."

Augustus changed the subject and said:

"We can help you guard the Ebony Fortress. We have killed three knight mechas not long ago. We can deal with this humanoid mechanical vehicle..."

"Need not."

The Chapter Chaplain waved his hand and said:

"You just stand aside and watch. You don't need to participate in the battle. It's enough to protect yourselves."

"Hey you……"

The arrogant attitude of the Chapter Chaplain angered the two Berserker Warriors. They stared and wanted to speak, but the Draenei raised their hands and held them down. Augustus shook his head slightly, signaling to his men to be calm and watch the changes before drawing any conclusions.

In the distance, twenty knight mechas have gathered into four spear arrays and are approaching the ebony fortress. As they approach the city gate, they turn on the loudspeaker and shout:

"Colonel Leto of the Imperial Guard, Major Algernon of the Planetary Defense Force, and Sage Ernest of the Invisible Gear Cult. Don't worry, we have no intention of launching a rebellion. We just have some grudges to settle with the Draconis family. .”

"Janiko Tan Draconis, that shameless woman, killed my nephew Joben in a knightly duel seven years ago using means that were neither honorable nor honorable. Malinax The family is here to collect debt today, and the Malinax Knight will only point its finger at Draconis!"

"I swear to you on the basis of the family honor of the Malinax family that your life safety will be guaranteed! Once again, this operation will only target the Draconis family. We have not betrayed the Human Empire and the Mechanicus! "

Tristan stood at the top of the city gate and sneered.

These cunning and shameless traitors.

They kept saying "I'm just here to collect debts" and repeatedly emphasized that they "had no intention of launching a rebellion". They just wanted to isolate the Draconis family and prevent other forces in the castle from contacting their troops to come for rescue, so that they could quickly capture the Ebony Fortress.

As for what, a duel seven years ago resulted in death... it's pure bullshit. Isn't dueling a daily routine for the Imperial Knight family? Why participate in a duel if you are afraid of death? This kind of trivial matter can also be used as a reason. It is obviously just an excuse. To put it bluntly, it is still coveting the huge wealth accumulated by the Draconis family for hundreds of years.

Unfortunately, the "Major Algernon of the Planetary Defense Force" you mentioned is dead. He was a Chaos believer hiding in the army, and the Chaos Eight-Pointed Star Brooch was found on his body.

The head priest thought to himself.

Then he ordered:

"Concentrate your firepower. Don't attack the large knight mechas. Kill a few knight attendants first."

Zofia put her hands in her pockets and stood on the mountain platform of the ebony fortress. The air current and mountain wind blew her cloak and clothes, making a hunting sound. She looked at the group of knight mechas from a distance, like a pack of hungry wolves slowly surrounding them. sheep pen. They divided into several arrows and approached the edge of the ebony fortress little by little.

Zofia heard the enemy's shouting. This group of shameless people used her mother as an excuse for provocation. This made the new chief knight extremely angry. She secretly gritted her teeth, thinking that if the "Army-breaking Golden Armor" was here, it would still be useful. Taking action with the Space Marines? I'll kick you all away with just one kick.

Behind Zofia, the cross-orbital landers were taking off and landing one after another, constantly traveling back and forth between the orbit and the surface, seizing the time to transport the personnel and materials of the Draconis family, including the family's female relatives and the guardians of sacred objects. Not all ships can carry out orbital strikes, and the transport cruiser of the Draconis family does not have orbital strike capabilities. But as soon as she received the news, Zofia had already contacted the Astropath on the cruiser. The Astropath's request for help soon received a response from the Empire. A battlecruiser belonging to the Imperial Navy was on the way. ——Yes, it is the naval battleship that the Iron Buddha Chapter rescued in the Ni Delina sub-sector.

The Space Marines took over all defenses of Ebony Citadel. To the enemy's surprise, none of the lasers, artillery shells and missiles on the city wall were fired at the top knights and roving knights at the front, but instead concentrated fire at the knight attendants beside the formal knights. The strength of the knight's ion shield cannot be compared with that of the regular knights. Although they had already turned the ion shield to the front, they were caught off guard and soon three knights were "shielded and killed". The ion shield The shield was quickly overloaded, and the mecha's shell was blasted by the fortress' fire, turning into a mass of exploding scrap metal that kept shaking off parts, black smoke, and fire.

Before entering the void shield range of the ebony fortress, three knights and attendants were lost. The war horn of the leading peak knight burst out with angry roars and hisses, the whistle whined, and a few knights and attendants were left. Quickly adjust the formation, no longer scattered on the two wings of the formal knights, but move laterally and hide behind the large knight mecha.

Behind Tristan, a group of space warriors were blasting away in the city. The central avenue of the ebony fortress was very wide and was often used for knights' military parades. As the defender of the city, the Space Marines do not like this "wideness". They are placing melta bombs everywhere, blowing up the buildings around the main road, and allowing the collapsed buildings to block and bury the central road.

The Draconis family is leaving anyway.

It doesn't hurt to blow up these buildings.

Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, passed through the void shield, and began to project long-range firepower to counterattack, the chief priest turned around and led the space warriors down the city gate and said:

"Let them in."

Two Peak Knights, one on the left and one on the right, approached the city gate with defensive fire. The Lancer Knight raised his ion shield gloves to cover, and the Styx Knight raised his heavy double-barreled flamethrower and began to suppress the turrets on the city gate. The two long-legged knights The knight launched the final charge, and the chain saw sword and impact lance slammed into the city gate.

"Boom——"

The city gate collapsed, revealing a large hole.

The knights of the Malinax family filed in.

The seven-member Augustus team stood on the roof of a building halfway up the mountain, watching from a distance, intending to see how the Space Marines would deal with these knight mechas.

On the main road, countless collapsed buildings blocked the path of the Knight mecha, but the Knight was not a tank. The off-road capability of the bipedal humanoid vehicle far exceeded that of the tracked vehicle, let alone a long-legged model like the Peak Knight. They easily stepped on the slope and crossed the ruins of the building. The barricades and bunkers that could not be crossed were directly blown up with weapons. Except that the formation became a little scattered and messy, the knights were not hindered by this and continued to advance forward.

Then, countless small black dots crossed the roof of the building, drew several parabolas, and hit the knight's mecha head.

"Watch above!"

The chief knight shouted vigilantly:

"Transfer ion shield!"

The Knight Spear Array was well-trained, and upon hearing the order, they immediately turned the ion shield and gathered it above their heads. Small nuclear bombs as big as melons hit the surface of the shield like raindrops, bursting out with blazing fire and shocking impact. Mushroom clouds rose up, and the surrounding The buildings and the streets below were trembling. It was hard to imagine that this was the power that a single weapon could unleash.

The ion shield is different from the void shield. The void shield will not block the passage of low-speed objects. The ion shield can block thrown objects and flying objects including grenades and missiles. However, the ion shield cannot provide all-round protection without blind spots and can only focus on Defend an area, so how to use the ion shield and how to correctly allocate the ion shield defense area can be used as a sign to distinguish the combat capabilities of different knights.

However, there are too many small nuclear bombs.

Just by blocking the top of his head, the ion shield was already crumbling and about to go out. After a wave of attacks overhead, small nuclear bombs continued to be ejected from dark alleyways, behind narrow windows, and from rooftops in the distance. They were everywhere from all directions, as if they were free of charge. .

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Nuclear explosions occurred one after another, and the knights were blown away. The power of a small nuclear bomb is already greater than that of a melta bomb of the same size. Moreover, a melta bomb can easily break off a knight's legs when it reaches close range. There are no one knows how many small nuclear bombs there are. The Ebony Fortress has been turned into an empty city after being evacuated. The Space Marines do not need to worry about the collateral damage caused by the nuclear explosion being too powerful, they can just keep throwing nuclear bombs.

A building on the street could not withstand the impact of continuous nuclear explosions. It staggered and collapsed. In an instant, it crushed a knight mecha next to it. Not only did it crush one knight mecha, it also formed a ruin barrier to block other knight mechas. before.

"Left! Left! Attention!"

"There, eleven o'clock!"

"There is someone on the right, be careful on the right!"

On the main road, the knight mechas marched in a line, turning around and firing in all directions. The powerful firepower swept through the surrounding buildings indiscriminately, shattering the window frames and sending bricks and tiles flying from the walls. The smoke gradually began to fill the air, and was blown away by the raging flames. The fire pillars poured into the narrow alleys and balcony windows, trying to force out the invisible enemies inside.

However, the enemy never came face to face with them. They just hid in the dark and used the projectile curve to continuously fire small nuclear bombs to harass them. They moved very fast and looked like ghosts. They would run away after firing a shot. It seems to be everywhere, but I can't find it.

Do you know what "Black Hawk Down" is?

Tristan stood on the mountainside watching the battle.

Regardless of whether it is an armored personnel carrier or an armed helicopter, once it enters complex urban terrain for street fighting, it gives the warring parties an opportunity to close the exchange ratio. Although the flexibility and combat effectiveness of the Knight mecha far exceed that of armored personnel carriers and armed helicopters, the interstellar The warrior is not a terrorist, and the Fat Man launcher is not an RPG. The result is still the same.

The roof of the building halfway up the mountain.

The seven-member team of the Zero World Guild was lying on the edge of the wall, staring blankly at the battlefield below. Watch how the Space Marines use the terrain to play with the Knight Mecha. The power of those black bombs is staggering, each bomb is equivalent to a pyrotechnic. Although the upper limit of the power of Pyroblast can be higher - depending on the level of the caster, Pyroblast is a powerful killing and finishing skill after all, and what about those black bombs...

Just like cabbage on the roadside.

"This is impossible!"

The chief knight roared while controlling:

"The Guards soldiers can't move so fast!"

Even if the enemy is ambushed in advance in the surrounding buildings and the knight mecha shoots in all directions, the enemy will definitely be unable to dodge after launching the nuclear bomb and will be shattered by subsequent firepower. Although the opponent still makes money by replacing a soldier with a knight, it is still better than being beaten unilaterally. However, so far in this battle, the Knight Mecha has not seen a single enemy, which is very unreasonable.

The auspicious runes were flashing densely, and there were threatening signals everywhere. The knight pilots had no time to distinguish and take care of them, so they could only fire without thinking. Finally, after several encounters, the auspicious device captured a vague figure.

Staring at the afterimage of the man wearing power armor.

The chief knight narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth:

"Space Marine, that's a Space Marine!"

Some knight pilots suddenly realized and exclaimed:

"No wonder they moved so fast."

And the knight pilot roared angrily:

"Damn it, Prophet Agu didn't tell us that there were Space Marines on the other side! This is a lie about military information!"

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Realizing that their opponents were Space Marines, however, they had already lost seven knights at this time, not including the three knight attendants that were scrapped outside the city. They kept firing in all directions, causing the advancement speed to be very slow, and Many knight mechas were blocked outside the city gate and did not come in.

But, right now.

The chief knight was keenly aware.

The enemy's firepower suddenly became much weaker.

"Their ammunition reserves are low!"

After reacting, the chief knight hurriedly shouted:

"Those black bombs are not endless! All spear formations, listen to my orders, ignore the enemies around you, immediately increase the reactor output power, and charge with me!"

After hearing the words of the chief knight, they also realized that the surrounding firepower was beginning to weaken, and all the pilots immediately became morale-boosted. Those space warriors only dared to hide behind buildings like a group of rats and shoot coldly. They never dared to confront the knight mecha head-on. The enemy's ammunition has been exhausted. Now, it is our turn to launch a counterattack!

Halfway up the mountain.

Augustus watched as the Space Marines who had fired all the small nuclear bombs were evacuating in an orderly manner along the narrow alleys. However, the Knight mecha was still advancing towards the mountain after suffering a heavy loss. The pace is unwavering and the speed is accelerating. The Draenei couldn't help but shook their heads and said:

"They can't hold it anymore."

Augustus turned to look at the Chaplain of the Space Marine Chapter standing on the roof of the building next door, and asked loudly:

"Tristan, do you want us to take action?"

The chief pastor said calmly without turning his head:

"unnecessary."

Um? Are you still arrogant at this time?

Augustus and Olivia both frowned, wondering if the other person's repeated rejection of their kindness was really unnecessary, or was he still brooding about what happened before?

Tristan ignored the siblings at all.

He raised his gaze, looked across the main road, and looked behind a row of knights. Outside the city gate, a large number of knight mechas were still gathering, waiting in line to enter the city gate.

Such a good goal...

The navy shouldn't turn a blind eye, right?

As if responding to what he was thinking.

The next second, a golden beam of light fell from the sky.

"boom--"

Golden to white blazing light.

The hazy sky was illuminated.

The seven members of the Zero Realm Guild closed their eyes subconsciously.

Golden light beams continued to bombard the city gate.

The high-temperature laser melted the city walls and knights, and the ripples caused by the twisted air spread in all directions.

The reincarnations were shocked.

Shocked by the power of orbital bombing.

"This is a science fiction universe, this is space warfare."

The chief priest turned to look at the seven members of the Zero Realm Guild:

"Understood, Augustus."

After saying that, the chief pastor turned and walked off the roof.
