Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Pixius stared intently at the holographic projection in front of him. His gaze was as sharp as two arrows. After a brief silence, he paused slightly and then spoke again:

"Just now, I received an order from Captain Mendeleev. He asked us to hold on for as long as possible and wait patiently for reinforcements from other fleets."

Hearing this, Necz on the side could not help but frowned:

"Are you saying that even though we have enough strength to quickly wipe out these hateful pseudo-emperor's lackeys, we have to remain inactive?

Even if we are fully capable of ending this battle swiftly with lightning speed, should we deliberately engage in a protracted war of attrition with these guys?

The purpose was simply to create an illusion for those pseudo-emperor's lackeys. It was only because the troops they sent were insufficient that they were unable to successfully capture our defensive positions.

Thus tempting them to continuously invest more military forces and step by step fall into the trap of being gradually eroded and consumed by us?

This will allow us to hold out for a while longer and wait for the rest of the fleet to come to support us."

Facing Necz's series of sharp questions, Pixius showed a barely perceptible smile on his face.

He looked at Necz with satisfaction, his eyes flashing with admiration, and was obviously very satisfied that Necz could understand his strategic intentions so quickly.

"That's right, Nekts, your understanding is very accurate. Under the current circumstances, we do need to adopt this strategy of gradually wearing down the enemy's manpower.

We must not win too easily, so as not to alert the pseudo-emperor's lackeys, and at the same time we must not give them any opportunity to break through the defense line we have carefully constructed.

Only in this way can we hold out until the rest of the fleet arrives to support us and ensure that the final victory belongs to us!"

Pixius answered decisively, his words revealing an extremely firm determination.

"I understand."

Necz nodded helplessly, and understood what Pisius and Mendeleev were thinking.

Now the power of the pseudo-emperor's lackeys in the Jesta galaxy is stronger than the star army. They need to hold on for a while and wait for the rest of the fleet to come to support.

Otherwise, with the hundreds of warships owned by the pseudo-emperor's lackeys, after being provoked, all the warships will bomb the planet Jesta.

Even though the planet Jesta was protected by a powerful void shield engine, it would be overloaded under such a terrifying firepower attack, causing the entire planet to be directly destroyed.

"Go tell this news to commanders at all levels! Don't let them directly defeat the attacking forces of the pseudo-emperor's lackeys, otherwise we will be in real crisis."

Pisius looked at Necz with a serious look.

"Okay, I'll notify them right away."

Necz nodded, quickly stood up and left the command room to convey Pixius' order.

"Boom boom boom!"

After running wildly for a while, the knight mecha of the Storm Knight family finally arrived at a location only two kilometers away from the defense army's position.

With the help of power helmets, the defense soldiers in the 032 position also saw the knight mecha troops approaching rapidly from a distance.

"Captain Ebony, the pseudo-emperor's lackeys have appeared. Should we attack now?" a squadron leader asked.

"Attack immediately and don't let the pseudo-emperor's lackeys get close." Wu Mu heard the question and responded in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The squadron leader nodded towards Wu Mu and quickly gave orders on the communication channel:

"Attack! Eliminate all these damned pseudo-emperor's lackeys."

"Yes." There was a uniform response from the communication channel.

"Boom!" The loud noise was deafening, as if it was going to tear the entire sky apart.

Then there was another more violent "boom!" sound, which was as shocking as thunder.

The fifty Apocalypse tanks deployed on the 032 position were like giant steel beasts, emitting low and violent roars.

Their black muzzles spewed out blazing flames, and heavy siege shells were fired at an astonishing speed, rushing towards the Storm Knight mecha troops in the distance like a meteor chasing the moon.

These heavy siege shells roared through the air, carrying with them boundless might and destructive power. They streaked across the sky, leaving behind dazzling trails of flame, like dragons of fire dancing wildly across the heavens.

As the Apocalypse tanks began to roar, Ebony, who was in the front-line command center, responded quickly. He contacted the artillery unit through the communicator:

"Artillery, position 032 urgently needs artillery support!"

As soon as the words fell, the artillery unit in the rear immediately responded: "Got it!"

Immediately, the massive earthquake cannons roared in unison. Each firing of these massive artillery pieces was accompanied by an earth-shaking roar. The powerful earthquake cannons rained down like raindrops, smashing towards the Storm Knight mecha troops in the distance.

In an instant, the sky and the earth were covered in fire and smoke.

The rumbling sounds of explosions echoed one after another, continuously, echoing in the direction of the Knight Mech troops' attack. Each explosion sent up billowing clouds of dust and towering columns of fire, instantly engulfing everything around them.

Under the defense army's terrifying artillery bombardment, the Storm Knight mecha troops, which were originally powerful and unstoppable, fell into an unprecedented predicament.

Their charge momentum was abruptly curbed, and their advance became extremely difficult.

Basically, when a mecha is bombarded by several heavy artillery pieces, the plasma shield begins to flash wildly, as if it is about to overload.

"Attack, attack everyone!"

Richard, the patriarch of the Storm Knight family, immediately roared in anger on the communication channel after seeing his own knight mecha troops being bombed.

"Yes!"

At Richard's command, the vortex cannon on the Overlord Knight Mech, the thermal fusion cannon on the Patrol Knight Mech, and the self-propelled artillery on the Squire Knight Mech also began to attack the distant defense positions.

"Boom...boom"

Huge energy cannons were fired from the knight mecha, whizzing across the sky and quickly falling towards the defense position.

"Pumbaa"

The attacks launched by the Knight Mechas collided with an invisible barrier and exploded when they were only a hundred meters away from the defense positions, failing to cause any damage to the defense positions.

"Lord Richard, the heretics' defensive positions have large field shields. Our attacks cannot penetrate this barrier."

The pilot of a patrol knight mecha reported to Richard with a grim expression.
