Chapter 671 Melee combat is strictly prohibited
Facing the counterattack from the soldiers in the writing camp, the mourners had a deeper feeling.
The plasma ball hit the wall, sputtering molten heat onto the Lamenter's ceramite armor. Nowhere was safe from the rapid-fire ion cannon's blow.
A Destroyer was hit by the hot light of a detonating gun. He was ignited and turned into a huge human-shaped torch. When the flesh wrapped in the armor was burned away, the blackened ceramic armor fell to the ground piece by piece.
The precise shots that the Space Marines were proud of were all blocked by the rising Aegis, and the solid and reliable bolter became a little weak.
However, the Lamenters have already replaced their guns with guns. With the technological support of Perturabo, they still have better weapons that they have not yet used.
Metal rods with powerful kinetic energy can not only dig holes in hard armor, but can also consume a large amount of energy from energy shields.
These cannons that need to be carried on the shoulders of Space Marines are very similar to the harpoon launchers used to hunt behemoths. In order to enhance the armor-piercing ability of the harpoon, Perturabo specially constructed the tip with adamantine.
"If there is a chariot with rough skin and thick flesh, use these weapons to pierce it and tear out the cowardly soldiers and armor inside!"
Perturabo's words were always so murderous, and the Destroyer kept the elder's words in mind, catching the ion clusters and firing in the gap between the detonating lasers.
The armor-piercing harpoon slammed into the Aegis, and the soldiers in the combat battalion knew something was wrong when they saw the Aegis quickly becoming transparent.
Two harpoons were blocked, and three harpoons broke through the Aegis shield, crushing the soldiers who couldn't escape into pieces together.
Shitou watched helplessly as several strings of blood filled with broken flesh and severed limbs appeared in their position. He was not intimidated by the blood in front of him, and a stronger fire rose in his heart.
"MD, they are all good people! You bitches." He aimed at a figure of a space warrior. In the eyes of the stone, these space warriors looked terrible, not at all as sacred as written in the story.
The pitch-black armor was wrapped in a layer of leather made of human faces, and there were many spikes on the shoulders, with bloody human heads stuck on them.
Although Shitou knows that these are all small embellishments made by Sage Odemaire to enhance the sense of substitution, what she did is so real that it makes people forget everything when they fall into the battlefield.
The buzzing sound of Aegis being bombarded came. Shitou knew that another good comrade was about to be hit in two by a bomb. He would not have any chance to cry out, and his soul returned to the throne in an instant.
True to his judgment, the weapons team responsible for operating the rapid-fire ion cannon was hit by a barrage of explosive shells. The Weeper also discovered the shield system on these soldiers and fired more bullets at them.
It takes five bullets to kill a soldier, four to overload shields and one to penetrate flesh.
Chapter Commander Hope fully grasps the upper limit of protection of the individual Aegis, but this is not good news. Ammunition is consumed faster than expected.
If the soldiers in front build positions of this level, they will soon be in the embarrassing situation of using enemy weapons.
What will the strike team achieve? Hopefully these soldiers won't be too tricky in close combat.
The battle between the Weeper and the company to which Stone belonged was not long. It only took ten seconds from the time the first burst was ejected to the Aegis wall being disintegrated by the armor-piercing harpoon.
The loud sound of the rocket pack soon struck from the side of the stone temporary position. The heavy bodies of the Space Marines combined with the boost of the rocket pack made them become butcher knives that penetrated the position even if they did not attack.
The side of the ion cannon served as a stepping stone for a Space Marine to adjust his stance, the chainsword in his hand buzzing as he chopped the surrounding soldiers into bloody chunks before their guns could turn around.
The stone is completely unable to capture these superhuman speeds, but he will never give up any opportunity to fire back.
The moment one of his comrades had his chest torn open by a chainsword, his explosive blast struck the ugly Space Marine's rocket pack.
The exploding rocket pack did not kill the Space Marine. Stone's personal shield took two blasts in return.
He knew that he was going to die soon and become a member of the bloody scenes around him. He would no longer be able to eat the delicious food in the cafeteria or listen to the lessons taught by Krieger instructors.
In his wild thoughts, his shield took another blast. The sound of the Aegis disintegrating made his body suddenly become active. The muzzle of the gun moved slightly by a few millimeters, and he fired subconsciously without aiming.
His body was torn apart by the bolts and turned into a puddle of exploding hot flesh, but his final counterattack managed to hit a Space Marine.
Hope watched in silence as another of his battle brothers turned into burning flames. This was not an experience worth remembering.
In a brief encounter, they killed all the Chaos rebels within a minute. The casualties they suffered were a bit unacceptable. The three Destroyer brothers were ignited by the detonating gun's laser, and their equipment was scrapped.
The bodies of the two attackers were penetrated by the ion ball. The melted armor and internal organs were slowly flowing out along the bullet holes. When they came into contact with the air, they began to burst into scorching flames.
A team of one hundred people cost them five brothers, which was unimaginable on the battlefield in the past.
Even without the support of Perturabo, the Lamenters would not have suffered such heavy losses in dealing with the mortal rebels.
All the mortal traitors on a planet were wiped out. They could only seriously injure one of their brothers against the sky. Death in battle was an unthinkable fantasy.
"Mainly those shields. The shields gave these soldiers enough time to counterattack, otherwise we could kill them all in the first round of firefight." The captain of the Destroyer team was very distressed, although the armor-piercing harpoon faced Aegis The walls work great, but they also don't have much room to carry these heavy metal rods.
"Keep going, let's see how far these traitors can go." Hope held a detonating blunderbuss, which was designed to completely avoid the possibility of use by Space Marines.
His fingers were completely unable to pull the trigger without damaging the structure of the gun, which was a weapon meant for mortals.
Will the Septons Astartes be replaced by these soldiers?
Hope suddenly shuddered. He felt ridiculous for his fantasy and shook his head.
These soldiers are helpless in the face of close combat. The integrated Astra Militarum can also achieve this level of long-range strikes. If it is only to this extent, the Lamenters Chapter will definitely win this battle.
Throwing the explosive musket to the technical sergeant for recovery, Hope directed the Weeper to move deeper into the hive.
