Warhammer 40 A New Hope

On this open-air platform, two rebels placed the communicator in the center of the platform, tore off the cloth covering it, and unfolded it.

After following the manual in the machine, the machine started up, the antenna thingy rose up, and the indicator light on it lit up.

boom!

Explosions were heard nearby, and more and more light airships carrying mutant soldiers were flying here.

In less than half an hour, the mutants and alien soldiers in and around the city reacted, and a large number of reinforcements rushed here. The advantage gained by the rebels through the surprise attack was rapidly fading.

The troops near the psychic network transmission device directly built fortifications on the spot, and the entire defense force tightened its defense.

Based on previous battles, they have realized the gap in technology between them and Zhang Yi's troops, and also realized the suppressive power of their (the elders') psychic troops on the Astra Militarum Army. The importance here is self-evident, especially in the current situation.

But for the small number of human rebels who launched a raid in the city center, if there were no reinforcements, they would quickly lose their limited control over the area.

"I hope the reinforcements arrive soon..." said a rebel fighter as he counted the ammunition on his body.

"How will they show up? By airdropping?"

"Just kidding, the alien anti-aircraft artillery in and around the city is not just for show."

"I heard they have a kind of airdrop pod that can be dropped directly? That should be what they use, right?"

"Is there such a thing? Then support should come quickly..."

At this time, they saw four fiery red unidentified objects falling towards them.

. . . . . .

High-rise building

As the communication center of the entire city, it was temporarily closed due to the resistance.

Such an important place is naturally the first target that the enemy tries to recapture.

"Someone's been shot! Someone's been shot!"

"It's too late to save him! Retreat to the last line of defense! Go!"

Despite carrying explosives ahead of time, he blew up the nearby stairs and elevator and cleared all enemies on this floor.

However, as the location of an important communication facility, almost all the reinforcements arriving by airships were heading for them.

The defense lines set up in advance were forcibly broken down by the huge number of people and attacks. Although various advanced weapons were allocated first to ensure the smooth operation, they were unable to resist such a huge number of enemies at this time.

The last line of defense was in front of the communications room. The only four remaining members of the resistance piled up all the large items they could use at the entrance as a cover.

Two compatriots have already been killed, and those who are still alive have suffered some injuries to varying degrees.

"Hold on, we are running out of weapons, we have to wait until..."

At this moment, the light suddenly faded from the eyes of a rebel soldier, and he turned his gun and emptied the magazine at his teammates.

"Damn it! It's the Gray Man! He's being controlled!"

Another rebel fighter standing next to him immediately knocked him down, while another threw a stun grenade at the corner of the passage in front of him.

Buzz——!

Wooah!

Along with the sound of explosion, a tall and thin alien staggered out from behind the wall, covering his head. The man who was still able to move immediately aimed at him and pulled the trigger.

Biubiubiu!

Three bullets from the magnetic rifle were fired, directly hitting the gray man in the chaos and killing him.

As they shouted, a small group of mutants appeared from behind the wall and opened fire on them.

Squeak-squeak, squeak!

The mutants' heavy magnetic force was so strong that it vented firepower towards their positions, forcing them to be unable to raise their heads.

"Is he okay?!" The life-threatening rebel who had returned to the bunker in time shouted at the rebel soldier who was pressing down on his companion.

"The control has been lifted, but I'm still a little confused!" the man said. "You know, the feeling of being released when someone drills into your brain!"

"Don't bring back bad memories for me!"

After saying that, he took off the last two grenades from his waist, pulled out the pins, and threw them hard at the enemy behind him.

boom!

Along with the explosion of his grenade, the gunfire outside disappeared. It seemed that the narrow space was not only effective against the opponent.

"So..." he said, looking at his bloody, broken left hand that he had used to throw the grenade. "It's true that the speed was so fast that I couldn't feel the pain..."

In response, Lin, a rebel nearby, immediately took out the remaining bandages and treatment agents and went to the injured man.

A bright green potion was injected and a bandage was wrapped around the cut.

"This is one of the few times I am grateful to the elders," said the man being treated. "I have to admit that their biological treatments are beyond our reach."

"Stop talking. Your injuries can only be relieved now. If you want to treat them, you still need surgery." The man who bandaged him said. "Take a rest now while there are no enemies."

At this moment, the man who had recovered after being controlled also stood up unsteadily.

"Headache..."

"Does it hurt like me?"

The man shook his head and looked at the severed hand of the person who spoke.

"What happened, I..."

Squeak—whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, the sound of mechanical rotation was heard, followed by a large number of bullets flying over, instantly turning the man who stood up into a pile of minced meat.

At this moment, at the other end of the passage, a heavy military MEC robot with thick armor and a machine gun on its shoulder appeared there.

squeak--!

The machine gun began to spin again, and the metal storm that followed it directly tore into pieces a simple shelter made of various debris.

The only two remaining rebels lowered their bodies as much as possible and hid behind the undamaged section of the bunker.

Soon after, the MEC stopped firing and walked towards them with its heavy body.

"Can we blow this thing up with our remaining explosives?"

"Don't be ridiculous, we still have explosives left."

"This is what they call 'the donkey in Guizhou has run out of tricks'."

The alien MEC like the god of death was walking towards them, but the only two remaining rebels did not show any fear or despair on their faces.

"I'll attract its attention, you take Wu Ke and escape first." said the injured rebel.

"You..." Looking at his companion who was ready to sacrifice himself, the other man opened his mouth but could not utter a word.

"Get ready, one, two, three..."

boom!

However, just as the man was about to rush out to attract fire, a loud noise interrupted his action.

The two men carefully leaned their heads out and found a huge shuttle-shaped metal object smashing in from the outside at an angle, knocking the half-moving alien MEC into the wall.

boom!

The heavy metal plates opened automatically, and they saw five tall, armored figures stepping out... Lizardmen?!

The alien MEC who was knocked away by the sudden impact also reacted at this moment, and the machine gun on his shoulder that was still functioning turned towards the giant lizards.

squeak--!

In response, the giant lizards that had just walked out immediately reacted. One of them strode up to the robot lying in the ruins and grabbed the rotating machine gun with its large scaly hands.

Click!

The machine gun on the shoulder of the MEC was directly broken off by the giant lizard's extraordinary strength, and then the other hand grabbed its head.

Click--click!

Click!

Roar!

With a roar, the robot's head with wires was pulled down directly. Seeing this, the other giant lizards let out excited growls together, like a pack of wolves that had successfully hunted.

"Our...new ally?"

"perhaps?"

"Didn't it say it was humanoid?"

“…But they didn’t say all of them.”

"Whatever. I just hope they don't eat us now."

Looking at the huge, cheering monitor lizards not far away, both of them fell silent.

"You wouldn't, would you?"

31. Joint Campaign (II)

monitor lizard

Belongs to the ancient creations - a category of the lizard people

Once these creatures are born from the Old Ones' incubation pools, they are taller, larger, and stronger than other Lizardmen, but as a price, their brains are relatively weak.

With thicker scales and stronger bodies than other lizardmen, they are often the breakthrough hands on the battlefield. A giant lizard holding an obsidian club or golden gloves can easily crush an entire phalanx of human shield soldiers or spearmen.

This time, at the beginning of the war, the twenty giant troops that supported the ground through the Space Marine drop pods were a new species hatched and debugged by Master Mazdamuddi through the incubation pool purified by Zhang Yi.

Stronger muscles, thicker scales, and a relatively smarter mind (compared to normal monitor lizards).

This makes the already strong giant lizards even more terrifying. When neither side is wearing equipment, these giant lizards can even compete with the Space Marines - and not be at a disadvantage.

This is also the reason why they can use the space capsule that was originally only available to "demigod warriors" such as Space Marines.

These big iron lumps dropped directly from low-Earth orbit can almost completely ignore the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery, smash into the center of the enemy's city, and catch the enemy off guard.

Now, in the Municipal Center Building, twenty giant lizards wearing ceramic steel armor and holding various melee weapons were airdropped and joined the battlefield, and they quickly reversed the original disadvantage of the rebels.

The magnetic weapons of ordinary mutant soldiers cannot cause any damage to the heavily armored monitors at medium and long distances or even at slightly closer distances. The shallow psychic powers of the Grays have almost no effect on the monitors, and those units that can pose a threat to them will be suppressed by the rebels and then crushed by the rushing monitors.

A mutant riot vehicle equipped with a magnetic machine gun was directly overturned by a monitor, and a team of mutant soldiers surrounding the riot vehicle were rushed to the front by another monitor under their firepower and were all knocked down like garbage.

Various alien MECs carrying heavy weapons would be quickly approached by the monitors as long as they did not suppress or attack the monitors in their sight in the first place, and then smashed into a pile of scrap metal by the weapons in their hands.

After a while, most areas of the Municipal Building were re-controlled by the joint forces of the rebels and the giant lizards, and more rebels lurking in the city were rushing here.

"Electric hammer, useful!"

A lizardman who had just smashed a sturdy Berserker to pieces with a hammer, with fresh holes in his armor and scales, expressed his love for the new weapon in unfluent words.

The thunder hammer in his hand, usually used by Space Marines or Ogryn apes, even if it is not blessed, can deal with most aliens and vehicles with one hammer.

"Can you speak?" a rebel soldier standing next to him said to the speaking giant lizard.

"Yes, but I hate to say it." The giant lizard responded, carrying his hammer.

"I just want to ask, where are those golden giants?"

"Big human, demolish... demolish big bang."

"Big bang?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

boom!

The golden-painted drop pod with the Imperial Fist logo slammed heavily onto the already chaotic street, and the heavy metal plates fell over.

Biubiubiu!

The surrounding mutant soldiers immediately concentrated their fire on them, but with their numbers and the power of the magnetic weapons in their hands, they could not penetrate the power armor on the Space Marines in front of them.

At this moment, the five Space Marines who landed from the air also began to attack the surroundings. Their targets were not the mutant soldiers closest to them, but those aliens with heavy magnetic weapons or plasma weapons that could pose a threat to them.

Bang bang bang bang!
