This Space Marine's power armor is thicker than the others, unlike the Execution Masters who have bare thick arms.
Iron Man tried to kill him by analyzing his movement trajectory but failed. No matter how narrow the passage was, this guy could always use amazing skills to dodge attacks and chop with his backhand.
After going through this cycle several times, Iron Man realized that he could not win through analysis and learning, but there was another battle plan with a success rate of more than 80%.
"Go to hell!"
Vic saw the Chaos Space Marine roaring and swinging his giant ax at the deepest slash mark on Iron Man's shell, while Iron Man took two steps back, and the chest part of the shell lifted up to reveal the fusion reactor inside.
The reactor released a torrent of energy straight ahead, melting the great ax and the Space Marine holding the weapon into ashes.
The battle is over. Iron Man's chest shell closed and he turned toward Vic.
"Praise the God of All Machines, praise Ohm Messiah, praise the original power..." Vic praised everything in surprise. At the same time, the STC template in his hand released a beam of light, transforming the iron man into material, and then into Vic. of robotic arms and various weapons.
As for the metal materials obtained from the wall, they were printed into a cube and fell in front of Vic.
Vic threw himself on the cube, thinking of ways to take the thing away.
This is just a cube and has no other function, but in Vic's view it is a holy relic, and can later be named the Holy Cube. Its mere existence has great significance.
"Deployment over. For the Ohm Messiah, for the God of All Machines."
Vic suddenly received an unencrypted communication. This was an open message sent to everyone in the war zone rather than a secret order given to a marshal or officer alone. Even the most rudimentary communication device could broadcast this sound.
The door to the secret room opened immediately, and Sewyn, holding four power swords and four ancient technology pistols, rushed out and prepared for a fight to the death, but he did not see the enemy, only Vic who was in a daze facing a metal cube.
Vic quickly encrypted the video he had just recorded and sent it to his friend. Sevin received it and watched it quickly before falling into deep thought.
"We don't have time to think now. You have to find a way to drive the invaders out, at least drive the invaders out of the fortress." Vic said.
"I need you to remind me." Sevin turned around and returned to the secret room, closed his eyes and began to make more detailed arrangements.
His consciousness shuttles through the bodies of each of his subordinates, helping those soldiers who are fighting the remaining enemies to make the best choices in battle.
……
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Severn and Vic did not die in the previous raid, and they also paid a lot of money to eliminate other enemies who arrived in the airdrop pods. The only drawback was that the Dreadclaw airdrop pods took off back to the battleship, but this is also a good thing. , after all, such blasphemous creations must be eradicated with all your strength.
The invasion had been underway for a full month.
Sewyn still clearly remembers that seven hundred solar hours ago, the enemy's attack on the Forge World changed from a small-scale assault and beheading battle to a large-scale invasion. More and more transport ships arrived in the orbit of the Forge World, and then transported them with desecrated creations. Troops go to the surface to fight.
The war intensified.
On this night, Sevin was still concentrating on commanding operations with his eyes closed as usual, and "possessing" the frontline troops to control the operations of his men.
Vic was reciting binary prayers and anointing holy oil around the metal cube, and then walked in circles with incense.
This ceremony was not pleasant.
From time to time, the roar of the Titan's whistle reached the secret room, as well as the sound of general cannons firing, macro cannons and light spears bombing the ground. As for the sound of gunfire and artillery when the ground troops were fighting, it never stopped.
"What's going on now?" Vic asked his old friend after the ceremony.
Sevin opened his eyes and told the truth helplessly: "I controlled a data craftsman to use observation equipment to check the orbit, and saw more and more enemy warships converging towards the orbit. The hulls of those latecomers had red markings on their hulls, which clearly indicated the surrounding galaxies. The void battle was not going smoothly, and the enemy was able to free up more warships for orbital bombardment."
Vic didn't need Sewing to say another word to realize that something was wrong.
It is not that the Forge World does not have a predetermined defense plan. In the defense plan, it is indeed considered that the traitors wandering in the Eye of Terror may join forces to attack.
But who would have thought that the Red Pirates would intervene. They are like angels on the enemy's side, joining the war without even talking about their interests. Vic didn't understand what they were thinking. Even if they took over the Forge World, how much profit could they get from the various traitor groups? does it worth?
In short, the red pirate fleet unexpectedly intervened in the war, turning the planned plan into a joke.
"How many satellites and planets are there in our galaxy?"
"What did you say."
Vic was still communicating with Sewyn without any emotion, but he was very surprised.
After Sewing asked a misleading question, he opened his eyes, looked at Vic, and shared what he saw directly.
Vic's electronic one-eye saw the scene outside the secret room.
On a battlefield where infantrymen on both sides were dying in droves, a soldier happened to glance at the sky as he charged.
Two black moons and a smaller black planet loomed in the forge world's dim sky.
After reading it, Vic said calmly: "Ohm Messiah is with us."
Chapter 170 The Celestial Body Arrives
……
The Celestial Engine has arrived.
In the planetary structure, Gray and Yaoen stood in a vast space that functioned as a bridge and viewed the holographic image.
When the satellite structure of the celestial engine is rotating, it continuously releases detection waves that spread to the entire galaxy, transmitting the situation in the entire galaxy to a very large holographic projection device.
The crew members rode floating trains around the bridge, sending the various structures of the celestial engine and the status of weapons to the departments that needed to know this information.
Either an intelligent or stone human could do the job, but it's now applying its computing power to more important things.
"Report to the marshal, the army is ready."
"Weapon arrays and shields are in good working order."
"The Celestial Engine has entered stellar orbit."
"..."
Various messages were sent to Gray.
Gray was assigned as the marshal in this battle. Even though he didn't know the origins of the people he was fighting, he could realize that he was nothing compared to those war gang leaders who had been fighting for thousands of years. .
But people like him are the ones with the most actual combat experience in the Tyrone galaxy and have conducted the most virtual war training.
Fortunately, Gray knew that some kind of existence that kept the celestial engine running would calculate the best war strategy, and everyone else would just execute it.
The regiment commander-level officers who arrived by train one after another gathered next to the holographic image. The war officially began when more than a thousand regiment commanders arrived.
"Obviously, we cannot directly deliver the army to the surface of the forging world, at least not before gaining orbital control." Gray looked at the automatically generated strategic plan next to the holographic image.
The others nodded and continued to stare at the hologram.
Fleets all over the galaxy noticed the sudden appearance of the celestial engine, and because the celestial engine did not launch an attack immediately, the enemy fleet began to boldly try to actively attack.
The fleet in orbit around the forge world opened fire as it sailed toward the Celestial Engine, then maintained maximum firing range and concentrated its fire as the first ship was gravitated towards the Celestial Engine.
The firepower of more than two hundred battleships, large and small, looks truly spectacular.
There are countless torpedoes, macro-cannons, light spears, and a variety of strange ship-based weapons. These strange weapons carry out very supernatural attacks.
The flesh-and-blood mouth attached to the periphery of the ship sprays out plague viruses, releases psychic lightning...in short, each shows its magical powers.
When a large number of attacks swept towards the Celestial Engine, a satellite was accelerated and blocked between the Celestial Engine planetary structure and the fleet. It used a shield to withstand most of the light spears and macro cannon fire, and those psychic attacks such as lightning. Then the shield disappeared halfway before even hitting it.
A small number of attacks that were not blocked by the shield of the satellite structure hit the shield of the planetary structure. However, the shield of the planetary structure was stronger, and a small number of attacks could not do anything to it.
The torpedoes followed, and the close-range defense array on the satellite released a fire net that could be seen on any planet in the galaxy to intercept all the torpedoes.
After encountering a wave of attacks, the celestial engine continued to operate as usual, accelerating in orbit around the star. At the same time, the two metal satellites turned their side loaded with weapons arrays towards the fleet.
"Why don't they leave?" Yao En asked in confusion. Think about it for a moment, if you were the leader of the enemy fleet, you would run away at the first sight of the celestial engine.
Battleships and defense platforms are still suffering from the bombardment...Has the enemy not seen the charging weapon arrays on the satellites?
At this time, the weapon array began to charge, and the various colors of light condensed from the huge number of particle spear launchers and various other super-heavy turrets made the satellite structure look as dazzling as a light bulb.
"The enemy must have a reason not to evacuate." Gray frowned and thought for a moment, and could probably guess why the enemy fleet did not evacuate. "I estimate that all their ground troops have been deployed. For example, if our guards We are all fighting on a planet. At this time, our own fleet in the void realizes that the enemy's fleet that suddenly arrived is very powerful. Could they abandon us and withdraw immediately? We have to try to deal with it at least."
After hearing this, Yao En thought about it and thought it made sense.
From a rational point of view, we should withdraw immediately, but who can always be rational?
During the conversation, the weapons array on the satellite began firing a salvo.
Countless particle lances, material live ammunition, and newly developed weapons such as arcs all hit the enemy ships directly.
A light spear hit the void shield and was deflected, but more light spears followed closely. The frigate's void shield could not hold out for even a second, and the hull was pierced by the light spear at the moment of overload.
The electric arc jumped back and forth between the ships, just like electrocuting fish in the river. The ships without void shields were electrocuted in pieces, while those with void shields could barely survive.
After one satellite finished shooting, it accelerated towards the back of the planet. Another satellite circled around and opened fire immediately after most of the weapon arrays entered the hit angle. Another round of devastating attacks covered the enemy fleet.
After the two rounds of strikes, a report appeared on the holographic image.
The shooting is over.
Efficiency Rating: Poor.
Gray raised his eyebrows as he looked at the report. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was really inefficient.
Since the enemy warships did not have time to adjust from orbital bombing formation to combat formation and were not far apart from each other, the first wave of attacks destroyed a large number of warships in front of the fleet, but most of the second wave of attacks that followed were Hitting the wreckage, the light spear penetrated a section of the abandoned hull, and its power was reduced before it hit the warship further behind.
However, this efficiency rating also depends on who you are comparing it to.
Two rounds of attacks by the weapon arrays on the two satellites annihilated about 40% of the enemy fleet's warships.
In this kind of void battle where the celestial engine and the fleet are bombarded, it is meaningless to calculate the loss of a single ship body. The battle damage can only be calculated by considering the fleet as a whole.
The Celestial Engine continues to accelerate around the star, and the weapon arrays on the two satellites begin to recharge. The Nightbringer fragments imprisoned in the core of the Celestial Engine's planetary structure must not only supply the energy normally consumed by the Celestial Engine, but also must recharge the weapon arrays. Charging... this is simply draining.
It's a pity that the Nightbringer fragment is trapped in the Tesseract Labyrinth, otherwise its screams could be heard throughout the galaxy.
The Celestial Engines were getting closer to the Forge World, and closer to those fleets.
The weapon array is still not fully charged, but another weapon is waiting to be used.
Teleporters transport large quantities of bombs stored in the Celestial Engine's planetary structure warehouses to the location of the enemy fleet.
Since there are too many bombs, it is impossible to calculate each bomb accurately, so the error in this transmission is relatively large, but there are still more than a dozen enemy ships superimposed with the bombs.
Chapter 171 The Trance-breaking Oathbreaker
The bomb is a weapon called a void mine, which can be simply understood as a mine, but this mine can be teleported.
The structure of the void mine is extremely simple. It is just a cube with a side length of about one kilometer plus explosive materials. It looks like building blocks without any spray paint decoration. Its cost is not even as high as that of a torpedo, and it also casts a wide net when used.
Anyway, the cost is low, the material is small, and the hit rate of 5% is enough to make a profit.
