Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Ding!

The scorching lightsaber cut the flying corpse in half. The retreat of the [Axis Security] team members was not hindered at all. One of the sturdy members released several smoke bombs to try to block the view, and at the same time a powerful heat source signal appeared.

call out!

Ordinary smoke could not have much impact on the actions of the Space Marines, but the sudden appearance of the heat source signal made them dare not rush forward directly.

The orange beam of light pierced through the dense smoke and flew towards Koz, who was closest to it.

Curze dodged just before he was hit, and the beam melted through his shoulder armor and burned a hole in the wall behind him.

Soon the smoke cleared and the Night Lords had completed the cleanup of the rebels, but their target, Count Gaza, was also rescued.

"The recorded [Flashing World] security company is more troublesome than imagined." Coze said as he looked at the pierced shoulder armor. "It seems that if we want to capture a complete [Flashing World], the price we have to pay will not be small."

"Normal. After all, anything in the game that has anything to do with the Glittering World is outrageous." The cuticle covered with bullets faded away, and the metal bullets fell to the ground with a light sound. "To be honest, I was scared just now."

"I will have my offspring hunt them down and obtain all kinds of intelligence about [Axis Security] at the same time." Koz said, motioning for his offspring to follow him. "You are responsible for preventing them from escaping."

"Then I'll find a few people to help and do some testing..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The security service costing hundreds of thousands of dollars was well worth the money. The [Axis Security] team, equipped with various high-tech equipment from the [Shining World], rescued Count Gaza from the enemy without any surprise.

But for the security team of Tianzhou Security, these hundreds of thousands of dollars are really a bargain.

You must know that the opponent this time is not a group of man-eating barbarians, nor are they out-of-control mechanical tribes or bugs that dig holes everywhere, but it is very likely an army with a complete space fleet!

[Axis Security] No matter how powerful the security is in the Rim World, it is still an unofficial security organization (although the firepower of this organization is sufficient), which means that most of the weapons in their hands are "ordinary weapons" and "ordinary ships" that can be sold officially.

Those who were doing security business in this area of ​​the Ring World originally thought that there wouldn't be any outrageous battles in such remote areas, but the facts taught them a lesson - not only did outrageous things happen here, but there were a lot of them!

God knows why anyone would want to play Conquest in this area. Is Glittering World not enough for you to enjoy?

"Mr. Count, the current situation has exceeded our contract." A man who seemed to be the captain said to Count Gaza who was under their protection. "According to Article 36 of the contract, when the situation is beyond our scope of handling, we will only..."

"Shut up! You security guards!" Count Gaza interrupted the man violently. "I paid you! I also signed a contract! You have to listen to me!"

"Send me to launch hatch number three! Then you cowards can get lost! Go back to your [Discot (a name from a certain shining world)]!"

Count Gaza did not calm down at all because he almost died just now. He pointed orders at the [Axis Security] troops without any hesitation.

But even so, the people from Tianzhou Security could not refuse. After all, they were just asking them to send the target they were protecting to a nearby place, which did not violate the terms of the contract.

"We will take you to where you want to go, but after that, our protection contract will end." The captain of the [Axis Security] team said. "Everyone, check your weapons and magazines, and replace the bullets with full-power bullets!"

"Captain, we really have to..."

"The contract has been signed and we must abide by it," he replied. "If I could, I would say it was my personal decision and distance myself from the company."

"Be prepared, this time we are not facing savages with only stones and branches in their hands."

. . . . . .

The entire launch base underneath was pulled out of the ground like a carrot, which caused the original lines of the entire base to change to varying degrees.

This had a great impact on the evacuation operation of the security forces of [Tianzhou Security]. Due to the blockage and change of the route, the map in the hands of [Tianzhou Security] was no longer accurate. The route, which was not very long to begin with, consumed a lot of their time during this period of time.

What's worse is that their external communications were cut off, and the communication signals became unstable at a slightly longer distance. It is very likely that the enemy's large forces have arrived.

"Stop!" The leader of the [Axis Security] team suddenly ordered. "Scouts, report the detection results."

"Enemy signals detected. It's those giants. They're blocking our way."

“Is there any other way?”

“There is no guarantee that other roads will remain passable.”

"Then we can only try to break through them..." Having said this, he glanced at Count Gaza who was protected by them, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Everyone, prepare to fight!"

The team slowed down its pace and moved cautiously towards the next intersection.

"Captain, there's something going on again!"

Just as they were about to reach the area where they might encounter the enemy, the member of [Axis Security] responsible for reconnaissance and search for the enemy suddenly spoke.

"The enemy signal has disappeared?"

"what?!"

In a battle or war, intelligence is very important. Insufficient intelligence may lead to the defeat of the party that was originally sure to win, not to mention that the two sides are now evenly matched.

This situation made the team hesitate, and at this time, a huge blue figure appeared from the wall, and the metal claws in its hands flashing with electric light were heading towards the body of the nearest [Axis Security] security soldier.

"Squat down!"

Bang bang bang!

The [Sirius] general-purpose rifle fired a series of intelligent bullets, which flew towards the ghost-like giant. In response, the giant immediately shrank back into the wall, avoiding the shooting, and appeared from another place on the wall, turning back into a physical entity.

"Suppressive fire!"

Several security soldiers from the Axis Security team, armed with rifles, stepped forward and fired at the exposed Midnight Lords Space Marine, the light curtains on their shield belts flickering continuously.

Click!

The dense firepower was overloaded in a few seconds, and the remaining smart bullets hit the opponent's heavy power armor.

At this time, the bullets of several [Axis Security] security soldiers in the front were all used up. The [Midnight Lords] Space Marine who launched the surprise attack was ready to charge, and charged towards them at an extremely fast speed in the next second.

"Interceptors, move forward!"

DUANG!

A sturdy man wearing a simple powered exoskeleton and holding a shield walked to the front of the team and collided with the charging [Midnight Lords] Space Marine. The shield in his hand was directly shattered and he himself was knocked away, but he stopped the enemy's charge.

"Suppressive fire!"

Three soldiers from [Axis Security] pulled the trigger at the giant in front of them, and a large number of intelligent bullets surrounded him and pinned him to the spot.

"The enemy team's combat power is beyond our expectations. We are requesting more support from our brothers."

[Received, support has been dispatched]

508. The Expedition of the Human Empire (VIII)

【Axis Security】Six-man team

Three assaulters (Sirius ‖ type universal rifle, can be equipped with a variety of live ammunition), one interceptor (powered exoskeleton, physical enhancement, gravity hammer, metal shield), one sniper (Sirius ‖ type universal sniper rifle, a variety of live ammunition), one heavy firepower operator (powered exoskeleton, individual heat ray cannon)

[Midnight Lords] Five-man team + Primarch Curze

Three Assaulters (bolter + plasma rifle), three melee Assaulters (including Curze, Lightning Claw)

Heavy Ghost Inner Armor

It is based on the technology obtained from the XCOM world and modified with the individual phase transfer technology in "Titanfall".

This equipment can enter the phase space, allowing the wearer to have the ability to pass through walls or obstacles.

However, this device is still in the experimental stage. The biggest problem is energy consumption and stability. When attacked or interfered with, the device may cause unstable operation and cause the wearer to release the phase transfer state, causing him to be trapped in the wall.

However, it is undeniable that this is a very useful technology and is very suitable for stealth assassination operations.

[Why is there so much wood in the stomach of this dead person? -- Question raised by an autopsy worker when examining a dead person]

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The ordinary bullets fired by the [Axis Security] team members holding [Sirius] general-purpose rifles suppressed the [Midnight Lords] Space Marine. The base passage was obviously not designed for Space Marines, and he could not dodge significantly.

Ordinary bullets could not cause any significant damage to him. His thick arm armor protected his vital parts. The opponent's repeated shooting made it impossible for him to move forward, and he could only keep retreating.

It's not like he hadn't thought about holding his breath and charging again. The interceptor he had knocked away was still lying on the ground. As long as he could draw them into close combat, he would be able to crush all of these mortals to death - but the other party was also very clear about this.

In addition to the three visible assaulters, there is also a sniper hiding in the back, suspected to be wearing optical camouflage, and a heavy firepower person who aims at him with the more powerful [Sirius] type general-purpose sniper rifle and heat ray cannon in their hands every time he is about to approach. This is one of the reasons why he does not dodge. He needs to be careful at all times to avoid possible sniper bullets that can penetrate his armor.

On the other hand, although [Tianzhou Security] is the dominant party at this stage, the defensive power of the opponent's armor exceeds their expectations. The conventional weapons in their hands cannot kill the opponent quickly, and this is just one enemy.

Bang--!

Another armor-piercing bullet was fired from the sniper rifle. The Space Marine who caught the attack in advance dodged the attack under the dense firepower and was about to move forward, but was then forced back by the orange beam of the heat ray cannon.

The gauntlet on his left arm that was blocking his body was already riddled with bullets, and trickles of blood were oozing out. He couldn't hold on for much longer.

At this time, the Space Marine had retreated to the intersection of a cross passage. After another failed assault, he was in a bad condition and hid in another passage.

As she disappeared from the sight of the [Axis Security] troops, she appeared from another horizontal passage, firing the fully charged plasma rifle in her hand.

A scorching plasma sphere flew over, but the targeted [Axis Security] soldier dodged it, and the attack hit the metal wall, causing molten metal to flow down.

The Space Marine retreated after missing the first shot, and then two Space Marines with Cawl-type bolters leaned out and fired at them.

Bang, bang, bang--sizzle!

Just being hit by two bullets caused the [Polaris] shield belt of the [Axis Security] soldier to be overloaded, and the third bullet was blocked by his [Yaoguang Tactical Assistant].

"Build a makeshift shelter!"

A spherical device was thrown out, and a spherical light curtain unfolded, blocking the incoming bombs.

"Captain! The situation is not favorable to us!"

"I see! The heavy firepower guy is preparing to force..."

boom!

At this moment, the sound of flesh hitting a metal wall was heard, and a [Midnight Lords] Space Marine appeared without warning at the end of their team and slammed the medium and heavy firepower operator from the [Axis Security] team into the wall. The huge impact force instantly destroyed his internal organs and spine.

At this time, the gap between the two sides was revealed. The troops of [Axis Security] had a more flexible and compact body. At the same time, they also had weapons that could effectively kill or even fatally injure Space Marines. This was their advantage.

The Space Marines, on the other hand, had heavy, full-coverage power armor and strong physiques without the help of equipment, which allowed them to withstand the firepower of three [Axis Security] assaulters and confront them.

If it weren't for this narrow passage, such a [Axis Security] team would find it difficult to fight against the Space Marines, but at the same time, if the [Axis Security] team was equipped with targeted weapons, then even if the Space Marines could win, they would pay a heavy price.

Now, the Axis Security team's front route is blocked, and their back route is cut off. They are trapped between the Midnight Lords Space Marines, and all hope is lost.

The Space Marine who appeared at the rear of the squad dealt with the heavy firepower player and immediately turned his target to the sniper. After blocking an armor-piercing bullet at close range at the cost of overloading his shield, he successfully rushed to the target.

The three commandos who saw this scene in front tried to help, but an incoming high-temperature ion sphere overloaded the spherical energy shield they used as a cover, and then the sound of grenade launchers opened fire.

Just like the Space Marine who was unable to hide in the passage before, two Axis Security soldiers who had lost the protection of their shield belts and had no cover were hit by explosive bombs, with half of their bodies shattered.

The sniper, who lost his protection and was attacked, was nailed to the wall by the Space Marine's lightning claws after he pierced the palm of his attacker with his ion light blade dagger, and his spine was cut off.

All this happened within a few minutes, and the [Axis Security] team, which was intact just a moment ago, now had only one person left alive.

If he had encountered Space Marines from other chapters, they might have spared his life for various reasons, but... they had encountered the Night Lords. Even though they were a non-rebellious chapter, most of them fought in an extremely cruel way - many Space Marines who had fought against them had suffered from PTSD.

Moreover, the Human Empire does not necessarily need living people to obtain intelligence.

． ． ． A few minutes later ． ． ．

The body of the last [Axis Security] soldier, whose limbs were separated like a doll, was nailed to the wall. The [Axis Security] team was completely wiped out, but...

The target, Count Gaza, was not in the team.

"He left halfway, probably through the maintenance passage." said the leading Space Marine. "This team is just a bait."

"Our mission has been accomplished. Father and that kid over there will take care of it."

Just as the [Midnight Lords] had speculated, when the [Axis Security] was fighting fiercely with them, Count Gaza found a maintenance passage and crawled into it, and rushed to the target launch silo alone.

This is a very dangerous practice. After all, as mentioned before, the entire underground base has been pulled up, many roads have been blocked or deformed, and it is very difficult to move in the narrow and complex maintenance passages. If you are not careful, you will be trapped inside.

But Count Gaza succeeded. He successfully passed through the maintenance passage, bypassed the Space Marines who were blocking the road, and came to the vicinity of Launch Silo No. 3.

"No one can take my things!" Count Gaza said as he crawled out of the maintenance tunnel in a panic. "If it doesn't belong to me, it doesn't belong to anyone else!"

If this was in a game, the Count's status bar would have two prompts: [Collapsed due to witnessing incomprehensible psychic phenomena], [Collapsed manifestation: Destroy everything].

Yes, he was going to go to the silo and manually detonate the missiles stored there, destroying everything.

It seemed that he was about to succeed. As long as they passed through the metal gate in front of them, they would reach their goal, and then he could...

But when he pushed open the door, he bumped into a metal body, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Damn it! I..."

Count Gaza, who was about to shout, suddenly stopped, because what blocked his way was not an obstacle or an ordinary person, but... a giant skeleton wearing power armor with flames all over his body.

[Collapse after witnessing an incomprehensible psychic phenomenon x2]

"You came much later than I expected~" Zhang Yi walked out from behind the [Cursed Legion] Space Marine and said to the Count whose brain had crashed. "You came here after you finished killing them~"
