The Thunderhawk's cabin was originally designed to accommodate only 30 Space Marines or 15 Terminators. Now that 14 people were crammed in, you can imagine how cramped the remaining space is.

But what can he do?

We can't just let them go, can we?

In order to be "protected" by these people, Noah only brought Nono and Cassia because there was not enough space.

"grown ups!"

The female captain still held her post. She reported, "We have been captured by the gravity well of the 'World Engine'."

Noah reiterated:

"Don't perform any unnecessary operations. The Machine Soul will automatically make an emergency landing. Some Space Marines will stay to protect you. Once we destroy the defenses of the World Engine, you can try to take off again with the help of the Machine Soul. Also, remember to secure yourself."

The female captain, who was ready to die with the Storm, stood there in a daze. What does it mean to take off again?

We've already ventured into the atmosphere, is there still a chance of taking off?

No one explained it to her.

Because the landing operation has begun.

Under the continuous attack of silver lightning, the Storm took the damage and fell into the "atmosphere" of the World Engine without any injury.

This is not hanging, it's just that the shield is a little thick.

Bang bang bang bang!

Before the Tempest fell, the drop pods and boarding torpedoes were fired from the ship like garbage, carrying hundreds of Space Marines to the ground of the planet. The Thunderhawk was the last to set off, and the hangar door was torn open.

The gravity of the World Engine itself gave the Storm an unparalleled speed. Orange tongues of fire emerged from the bow of the Storm as it tore apart from the atmosphere. The turrets and other illegal buildings were torn into pieces at this moment and drifted into the air.

But the main body of the battle barge was miraculously intact. Although her hull planks made a sound of overcoming the weight in the howling wind, they were not torn apart as expected!

boom!

With a loud bang, the Storm finally completed a hard landing.

Although the reverse thrust of the engine greatly reduced the speed of the battleship during landing, and although it was lucky enough to avoid the various spire buildings in the Undead city, its lower deck was still torn apart, and the space inside the cabin was completely exposed, and the Undead city that was forced to land was also collapsed by the pressure of the warship.

Those crew members who were not fixed were tragically "fallen" to death on the deck, and the workers on the lower deck flew out of the crack and were smashed into pulp. Many Space Marines were also thrown around in the cabin, and it seemed that even their bones were creaking.

Thanks to their early preparations and the Astartes' superhuman physique and power armor, the Space Marines landed safely.

The good news is that they were lucky and no one died in the landing.

Although tens of thousands died in the crash landing, their plan was a success.

As the Storm made an emergency landing, the Necrons came from all directions in unison.

The Space Marines immediately checked their power armor to see if it was in good condition.

Then he began to look for cover and positions around, waiting for the enemy's attack.

The auspex detected the enemy approaching.

And in the darkness, they could see the enemy clearly.

There were hundreds of skeletons, their bodies made entirely of some kind of metal.

They look almost exactly the same, all with hideous, elongated skull faces and tall but hunchbacked bodies, with faint green light flashing in their eye sockets, and holding some kind of huge energy weapon in their hands, with a bright green light emanating from the barrel.

Clearly, they were some kind of mass-produced killing machines.

Some information flashed through the minds of the Space Marines, which was learned before the advance -

First, the enemy's Gauss weapons can easily dismantle their power armor.

Second, the enemy's body can regenerate and must be completely destroyed.

OK, now that you've completed the tutorial, it's time to go take on the Necrons!

boom! boom! boom!

The Space Marines who spotted the enemy opened fire immediately to buy time for friendly forces that had not yet arrived.

The dull sound of grenade launchers pierced the silence of the night sky. Each grenade could accurately hit a Necron and shatter their skulls.

But the Necrons were fighting back, and the energy weapons in their hands emitted some kind of emerald energy beam, hitting a Space Marine's shoulder.

The part of him that was hit began to disintegrate rapidly—

Paint, ceramic steel, then the inner fabric and his skin, muscles, and bones, everything was peeled off layer by layer and easily disintegrated like a castle built of sand. Their powerful power armor couldn't even withstand a shot from the enemy!

The Space Marines quickly hid behind the cover, and the physical pain even made them groan.

But fortunately, he knew the dangers of this weapon in advance and began to dodge when he was aimed, which allowed him to escape in time before his whole body was decomposed. He only lost his shoulder and arm. If he is lucky enough to survive until the end of the battle, he can get a new mechanical arm.

He did not pick up the bolt gun that fell on the ground. Instead, he pulled out the bolt pistol from his waist with his other intact hand, leaned out of the cover and continued shooting at the enemy.

The wound still hurt, but his shooting skills were still accurate.

"Destruction is salvation!"

The Astral Knights chanted the battle cry of the regiment to each other in the sound array and pulled the trigger silently.

The Necromancer's body was torn apart by the bomb, his upper body was blown away, and his lower body flew in the opposite direction.

But the Necrons feel no pain, and have no souls.

Its hands and upper body crawled on the ground quickly and alternately, trying to pick up the fallen Gauss separator gun.

Until a bomb blew its head apart, temporarily stopping its actions.

after all.

The Necrons are immortal.

-----------------

The cities of the dead are always the same.

Made entirely of living metal, it comes in almost only three colors: black, off-white, and green.

There were huge pyramid-shaped buildings and obelisks everywhere, and some kind of energy transmission cables or pipelines were laid flat on the ground, connecting every building here. Narrow corridors like mazes were scattered throughout the buildings in the city, as intricate as the circuits on electronic components.

There are also a large number of skeleton statues erected in the city, just like the emperor statues commonly seen in the human empire. Obviously, the owners of these skeleton statues are probably the rulers of this city or even the entire "planet".

But the difference is that the city is also crossed by a canyon with a river of liquid metal flowing through it.

The Thunderhawks landed in an open space near the canyon in the city. They miraculously avoided the anti-aircraft firepower of the Undead and were not blocked at all. They broke into someone else's home and landed in the city.

"My Lord, where are we going next?" Luke asked.

Sicarius turned his gaze to Noah, as he was the only expert here.

The Terminator veterans were on guard all around to avoid sudden attacks from the enemy.

Nono looked at a huge pyramid-shaped building in the distance without leaving a trace. Noah pointed and said:

"From there, we have to go underground and find the city's main control center. Only then will we have a chance to solve this!"

The above-ground parts of Necrons' structures are often just the tip of the iceberg; their true core is often underground.

Cassia asked in a joking manner:

"So, we need to find the 'bridge' of this 'planet'?"

"almost."

Noah explained as they walked, "There are at least millions of Necrons on this 'planet', so we'd better put an end to this before they round us up."

Snapped!

The sound of metal hitting the ground came from all directions. The Terminators, all holding storm shields, almost immediately formed a circular defense line, surrounding Noah and Nono.

When the Necrons with living metal bodies that looked like skeletons swarmed into the square from all directions and appeared before their eyes, the Terminators immediately opened fire with their storm bolters.

Amidst the dull sound of gunfire, explosive bombs tore apart the bodies of dozens of enemies in the blink of an eye, turning metal skeletons into large amounts of metal fragments.

Although the Necrons tried to fight back, most of them were blown to pieces by the bombs, and only a few Gauss rays were emitted.

These decomposition beams that could have penetrated the power armor were blocked by an invisible shield before hitting the Terminator.

Although Gauss weapons can easily penetrate almost any form of armored defense, shields can still provide a good defensive effect against them!

-----------------

Gauss weapons can definitely be blocked by force field shields.

But there are too few detailed settings for the Necrons.

For example, quantum shield, I can't even find a column or entry to describe it.

Fleet firepower UR is contradictory, although it is written in the setting:

While still devastating, Necron naval weaponry seems unable to match the raw power of some Imperial designs. However, Necron weapons are known to bypass many conventional defense systems, such as void shields and even Eldar holostats, and strike with otherworldly precision.

But in the Necromancer novels I've read, such as The Fall of Orpheus, the Empire's void shields are always violently shattered and stripped away, and there is no description of bypassing the void shields.

In the board game rules, the particle whip can also ignore the shield and attack the hull directly by rolling 6.

And in the description of shipborne weapons, there is no description of being able to bypass the void shield.

For example, the description of Lightning Arc is: It releases an arc of electricity full of energy, covering the target and attacking weak points. Lightning Arc Generators can usually cover all attack surfaces except the rear.

The particle whip can also cover all striking surfaces except the rear.

Considering that the Empire Void Shield is not a whole, but is generated by a large number of Void Shield Generators throughout the hull, when allocating energy, the Void Shield Generators have different defensive effects due to energy supply.

Plus, the setting is to 'go around' rather than ignore, so it's probably because of the effect of this large-scale attack.

In other words, the shield-breaking effect should be to break the surface with a point and shatter the void shield from a weak position.

Another example is the short story "Just Dust in the Wind", which also describes:

'The annihilation beam stripped the shields from the Adeptus Mechanicus warship in seconds, setting the port side weapons turrets on fire and tearing through the hull armour. The ship's carefully regulated artificial atmosphere ignited, flowing into the void in a wave of flame a hundred metres long.'

In other words, the Void Shield can block, but only a little.

I can't find more detailed descriptions. If anyone has more details, please give me some pointers.

Chapter 172 Star God: Do you know how I have lived these tens of millions of years?

boom!

The Terminator team led by Noah passed through the buildings of the Undead City, but the Undead kept trying to stop them. Countless Undead filled every street and alley on their way forward, shooting at them with their Gauss Splitter Guns.

Although most of the time, these Necrons were blown to pieces by the bombs before they could even fire. For the few Necrons that fired, their decomposition beams were also blocked by the force field shield.

"We have to speed up!"

Amrad said, "If we continue like this, our ammunition will be used up sooner or later!"

"No need to save ammunition."

Noah said calmly, "This is the blessing of Om Messiah. The machine spirit will protect us!"

"Ok?"

Amrad and Sicarius were still in a daze, but the Soul Drinker's Terminator veterans believed Noah's words unconditionally. Their storm bolters began to fire rapidly and recklessly, pouring dense bombs like raindrops on the enemy.

Dozens of enemies were torn apart, their metal bodies blown into shattered wreckage by the explosion of the bomb shells.

Apparently, they had received similar 'blessings' before.

boom!

A decomposition beam thicker than that of other undeads shot towards them and was blocked by the force field shield of Terminator Armor, but the Terminator also staggered back two steps.

Sicarius looked in the direction of the attack, which was a huge undead machine.

It had an upper body similar to other dead spirits, but its lower body was disc-shaped, suspended in the air by some kind of anti-gravity engine. One of its arms was transformed into a larger caliber Gauss cannon, which was pouring fire on them mercilessly.

Dozens of Necrons were marching towards them in unison, and following them were a large number of underworld beetles.

These eight-legged, thirty-centimeter-long, 'worm-like' creatures were flying in the air, flying towards them at a faster speed than other Necron units.

"This way, let's go around!"
