Warhammer 40 A New Hope

The [Mechanical Toon Squirrel] and [Mechanical Centipede] equipped with piercing guns and hellfire cannons also reached the shooting range at this time and preheated their weapons.

Biubiubiu!

boom! boom! boom!

The attack of the Mechanoids fell into the defense line of the Astra Militarum and instantly suppressed the firepower of the Astra Militarum. The Mechanoid army took this opportunity to continue advancing.

[Mechanical Mantis] also took this opportunity to charge into the position, and its sharp mechanical claws bared its fangs and attacked the nearby defenders.

when!

He held the laser rifle across his body to block the mechanical claws that were about to chop him down. Then the Astra Militarum was gradually overwhelmed by the mechanical clan in front of him.

“Ugh—!”

His teammates are all being restrained to varying degrees by other mechanical races. In other words, under normal circumstances, no one can help him now.

boom!

The laser rifle in his hand was knocked away, and then the enemy's sharp blade chopped down in front of him.

Dang—bang!

At this moment, an arm wrapped in heavy power armor blocked the enemy's slash, and then a heavy punch completely destroyed the [Mechanical Mantis].

Space Marines support the battlefield!

Bang bang bang!

Under the powerful firepower of the grenade launchers, the mechanical race that had broken into the Astra Militarum defense line began to be quickly cleared out, and various heavy vehicles were also driven to the front line to begin suppressing the enemies with firepower.

A Hellfire cannon fired by a [Mechanical Centipede] hit a [Leman Rust tank] not far away. The thick front armor plate blocked the destructive blow, and then armor-piercing shells were fired at it.

boom!

Not many armored mechanical creatures were directly destroyed by this shot, and then heavy bombs and light beams began to clear out other small enemies around.

[Ultramarines] With the timely support of the Space Marines and various vehicles, the attacks of the Mechanoids were repelled and the defense line was stabilized.

"The various mechanical races that are attacking now are just ordinary mechanical enemies. We haven't found a large number of advanced mechanical races yet." The officer of the Astra Militarum Army said as he looked at the battlefield analysis chart in front of him. "The number of enemies is large, but..."

"The strength is not right. Based on the information we know, it is unlikely that the Mechanical Clan's nest only has these things." said a veteran Space Marine.

"Although according to the Mechanical Priest, not all the mechanical races here have awakened, but even the number and strength of the enemies lured out by our landing troops are not right..."

At this time, somewhere on the front line, a team of [Lamenter] Space Marines were leading dozens of Astra Militarum troops to clean up the battlefield, which was surrounded by craters and mechanical debris.

"The reconnaissance team disappeared around here," said a member of the Astra Militarum wearing a gas mask. "I still can't find their signal."

"The surroundings look normal, there are no enemies... Ugh!"

Suddenly, several Astra Militarum soldiers at the front squatted down, covering their heads, and then exploded in front of everyone.

"what happened?!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Bang－－!

Several more heads of Astra Militarum soldiers exploded in full view of everyone, and the ground began to shake.

A huge mechanical creature that was obviously different from other ordinary mechanical creatures stood up from the ground, and the heavy armor on its arms opened.

Buzz－－!

Inaudible infrasound waves were emitted, and several of the nearest Astra Militarum soldiers made the same mistake, their heads exploding.

"Counterattack, counter..."

Buzz－－!

The infrasound waves that were impossible to guard against swept across, and many people fell to the ground on the spot, bleeding from all their orifices.

The five [Lamenter] Space Marines are the few creatures who can still stand, and their strong physical fitness allows them to better resist and adapt to enemy attacks.

After a brief period of adaptation, the Space Marines immediately began to try to counterattack, but found that the huge mechanical machine disappeared before their eyes.

"Optical invisibility..."

boom!

The [Weeper] in the front was suddenly knocked away, and a large amount of white smoke rose up.

"Fire into the smoke!"

Bang bang bang!

Three grenade launchers and a general heavy bolter began to fire fiercely at the rising white smoke. The powerful ammunition dispersed the rising smoke almost instantly.

However, their attacks did not hit the possible targets.

Squeak--buzz--!

Relying on his superhuman hearing, a [Lamenter] Space Marine caught the faint sound of infrasound that ordinary people could not hear. He pushed away the surviving Astra Militarum soldier beside him, and the next second the infrasound enveloped him.

“Ugh—!”

The energy-filled infrasound waves instantly enveloped the Space Marine, holding him in place. Upon seeing this, the other Space Marines immediately turned their guns around and tried to rescue him.

squeak--!

In response, the armor on the huge mechanical creature opened up one after another, and then powerful infrasound waves spread out.

Buzz－－!

Ordinary humans nearby were directly exploded by the spreading sonic attack, and the Space Marines also suffered splitting headaches from the sonic attack and were unable to move normally.

"Damn you..." The Space Marine [Lamenter] who initially rescued the remaining Astra Militarum looked at the corpses lying beside him, gritted his teeth, and then began to move forward towards the attacking mechanical race in front of him under the suppression of the infrasound waves.

Under the attack of infrasonic waves, blood was already flowing from the mouth and nose of the Space Marine. The 18 operations gave them superhuman mobility and adaptability, but in some ways, it also prolonged the time they suffered.

Looking at the giant gradually approaching it, the mechanical creature immediately turned its gun and released as many attacks as possible on the enemy in front of it that was approaching it.

The powerful sonic attack had enough power to destroy all kinds of debris along the way, and even so, the Space Marine who was surrounded by the massive attack did not fall down.

Bang bang bang!

He fired randomly in extreme pain, and one of his shots hit a Mechanical that was firing, causing its attack to pause for a moment. The other Space Marines took this opportunity, enduring severe pain, and focused their fire on the enemies in front of them.

The retracted armor plates blocked the incoming explosive bombs, but the thrown melta grenades were not something that ordinary armor could withstand - the scorching heat almost instantly melted the outer armor of the mechanical race, and at the same time destroyed its internal precision devices.

After dozens of seconds, the tall mechanical creature fell down, and the troop survived.

The Space Marine who had sustained heavy damage was now being helped to his feet by his two other brothers.

The high-intensity infrasonic attack caused a lot of damage to his body, but it was precisely because he attracted a large number of attacks that they had the opportunity to defeat the enemy this time.

However, the psychological damage is worse than the physical damage.

All the mortal troops in the entire cleanup team were killed by the deadly infrasonic weapon of the mechanical race. They were the only ones who survived...

"Once again, we failed to protect these mortals..."

179. Everyone wakes up...

Bang bang bang!

【Don’t come over here!!!】

[Requesting support! Requesting support! We have... Ah--! ]

[Dolly... Did I do this? Did I do all this?]

[Don't you understand yet? ! Cooperate with me! Your limit is far more than this! ]

David, don't go back!

. . . . . .

[Run away, David, you can run very fast, right? ]

You've never seen me, mortal.

"!"

David woke up beside Lucy, and it was still dawn outside.

Almost a week had passed since Mann lost control and was captured, and the mission failed.

During this week, Zhang Yi did not respond at all - neither did he say whether Mann was dead or still alive.

Dolly, who was injured by Mann, is still recuperating in the hospital, and she concealed the fact that Mann was captured by Martis... or sold by herself...

David, who had no intention of continuing to sleep, sat up, walked to the window sill in the living room, looked down at the Night City which had just awakened, and called Zhang Yi.

Drop-drop-drop-

Still no response. Zhang Yi seemed to have tricked them. After taking Mann away, he disappeared.

The call went unanswered again. David lay on the sofa, looking at the night scene in front of him, and then looked at the metal can containing his mother's ashes.

"Mom, what should I do..."

. . . . . .

The building where Martis is located

Whoosh—boom!

Zhang Yi, who was thrown into the air, threw a fireball at his opponent, the Space Marine, on the ground, but the latter dodged the fireball by slightly turning his body.

The Space Marine's superior tactical qualities allowed him to arrive at Zhang Yi's possible landing position first. It was foreseeable that Zhang Yi, who had fallen, would soon be caught by the opponent's Space Marine, and the battle would end in failure again.

But this time, Zhang Yi, who was about to land, suddenly threw a hot fireball towards the ground, and the raging flames instantly engulfed the Space Marines on the ground.

Zhang Yi's opponent had not expected this move. He was engulfed by flames. Although this level of flames could not cause any damage to the Space Marine, it obscured his vision.

And then, Zhang Yi pounced on him, which surprised him a little again.

Yes, Zhang Yi did not choose to take this opportunity to distance himself from him, but instead pounced directly on him, even though there was a high possibility that he would be caught in the next second and then fall to the ground - but he (Zhang Yi) still did it.

In response, the Space Marine was about to grab Zhang Yi and throw him down, but suddenly he found a circle of blue and gold magic circle around him, which temporarily bound him.

"Are you thinking that this is meaningless?" Zhang Yi said on top of him. "I will be able to get rid of this magic soon and throw me down."

As Zhang Yi spoke, a large-caliber hand cannon appeared in Zhang Yi's right hand, aimed at his (the Space Marine's) head.

"Practicing with me has made you develop the habit of staring at my left hand. After all, all my attacks come from my left hand..."

"But, you didn't expect I could hold a gun in my right hand, did you?! What a surprise!"

"I said I'm going to knock your helmet off, so I'm going to knock your head off..."

thump!

The binding magic circle was broken, and Zhang Yi was grabbed by the left arm by the Space Marine who was sparring with him, and then he was thrown to the ground with a loud bang.

"You need to keep your mouth shut. Enemies often won't listen to you finish what you want to say."

"...Villains die because they talk too much, got it..."

. . . . . .

"So you suspect that I'm trying to interfere in your business?"

"We don't want to doubt a potential ally, but... your recent actions have forced our company's leaders to be suspicious." The man with military-tech clothing said on the big screen, "Besides, you have interfered with our business more than once..."

"What business? Are you talking about those cyber thieves?" Zhang Yi, who had just finished his exercise, said to the people in front of him. "Why, are these people employees of your company?"

【．．． Of course not．．】

"That's it?" Zhang Yi said. "I'm just interested in cyberpunk, and I just happened to choose a few of them..."

"I don't know anything else."

【．．．I hope the truth of the matter is just as you said】

Then, the big screen turned off and the man disappeared from Zhang Yi's sight.

"These days, no one believes the truth~" Zhang Yi muttered to himself. "These corporate dogs will pounce on us as soon as they get a chance and try to get a piece of meat."

"I'm also a company dog? That's fine."

After meeting with the person in charge of [Military Technology], Zhang Yi took the elevator and went down to the area in charge of the Mechanicus.

Various prosthetic bodies belonging to major companies or pulled from cyber maniacs were placed around, as were jars containing cyber maniacs who had been stripped of only their brains and a section of their spines.
