Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Chapter 454: Skitarii's Attack

"Boom boom boom!"

Twenty Apocalypse tanks, escorted by a battalion of a thousand defense soldiers and ten thousand combat robots, rapidly advanced towards the heart of the Mechanicus, constantly shuttling through the wreckage of various buildings.

The ground of the Dokla Forge World has been almost destroyed by aerospace fighters, and the various buildings representing the symbols of the Mechanicus have turned into collapsed ruins. Only the wreckage of various buildings remains on the surface, telling of the cruelty of war.

Almost all the members of the Mechanicus in these buildings had died in the bombing. Even if there were any survivors, they would have been eliminated by the defense forces.

If there are survivors who have not undergone mechanical transformation, they will be taken in by the defense soldiers, while those who have undergone mechanical transformation will be directly eliminated by the defense soldiers.

Almost all humans in the Dokla Forge World came from the tithes paid by various planets in the Provans Sector and were sent here to be mechanical servants and laborers. Only those with firm faith in Om Messiah and talent would become apprentices of the Mechanicus and acquire more advanced knowledge.

This is also the reason why the defense forces directly execute the survivors who have undergone large-scale mechanical transformation. Most of the survivors who have not undergone mechanical transformation are mortals who have just arrived in the Dokla Forging World not long ago. These people's beliefs are not strong enough, and they can be pulled back to become normal people, and there is a chance that they are worth saving.

Not far from this attacking force, several battalions of defense soldiers also launched attacks on the Mechanicus, with the straight-line distance between them being no more than a hundred meters.

However, due to the obstruction of various complex buildings, they could not see each other with the naked eye, and could only hear the sound of the Apocalypse tanks rolling over the earth.

The defense soldiers and combat robots following the Apocalypse tank, with the help of detection radar, constantly looked around vigilantly, looking for members of the Mechanicus hiding in various bunkers.

However, since the Dokra Forge World was attacked by the Star Army, interference positions have been opened everywhere to block the scanning of the detection radar, preventing the radar from clearly detecting the Mechanicus. The weapons and equipment and number of people in each secret hidden position can only roughly infer the presence of Mechanicus members.

After the Mechanicus opened its interference stance, it provided the defense forces with the opponent's hiding place, which also allowed the defense forces to reduce a lot of time in searching for the Mechanicus.

It can only be said that under the crushing of science and technology, all resistance of the Mechanicus is futile.

In a hidden bunker that had narrowly escaped the relentless bombardment of aerospace fighters, hundreds of Skitarii members, having undergone a degree of mechanical modification, stood upright. Tall and imposing, their metallically gleaming mechanical parts perfectly integrated with their flesh, emanating an awe-inspiring aura.

Behind this group of Skitarii were thousands of servitors and laborers. Although these people were of low status, they all followed the Skitarii with solemn expressions.

Led by the captain of the Crusader Army, everyone knelt on the ground in unison, praying devoutly facing the two huge melta cannons and ten heavy bolter machine guns placed in front of them.

They kept muttering to themselves, praying devout binary prayers: "0..."

Strings of obscure, source-code-like numbers spewed out from their mouths continuously. This strange language seemed to contain endless mysterious power, and only those within the Mechanicus could understand its true meaning.

Along with the passionate and fanatical prayers of the Mechanicus, the twelve heavy weapons that had been standing quietly began to tremble slightly, as if they were extremely excited and eager for the upcoming bloody massacre.

The captain of the Guards, who was praying devoutly, heard the sound of the Apocalypse tanks rolling over the earth getting closer and closer. He immediately stopped praying, stood up from the ground, and gave orders to everyone in a deep voice:

"Those heretics who blasphemed the great Om Messiah are about to approach our bunker. Prepare for battle. Use the weapons of the incarnation of Om Messiah to wipe out all these damned heretics."

"Yes!" Accompanied by a uniform low response, hundreds of members of the Crusader Army quickly got up from the ground.

They were agile and well-trained. In the blink of an eye, they pushed two huge melta cannons and ten extremely heavy heavy bolter machine guns and trotted all the way to the firing holes specially left in the bunker.

Each of these Skitarii members had a solemn and focused look on their faces. They worked together to accurately aim the twelve intimidating heavy weapons at the approaching defense soldiers.

At the same time, the servitors and laborers were not idle either. They all knelt on the ground, following the melta cannons and bolters slowly forward in an almost humble manner.

These mechanical servants and laborers moved their knees with difficulty, muttering to themselves and praying devoutly, constantly trying to soothe the violent mechanical spirits in the heavy weapons.

Only a crisp sound of metal collision was heard, "Click!" The melta cannon and bolter machine gun were firmly stuck into the shooting port.

Hundreds of Skitarii quickly dispersed, tightly surrounding these heavy weapons. Some were busy supplying them with energy, while others were busy loading ammunition in an orderly manner. Everyone performed their duties, not daring to slack off even for a moment.

The captain of the Crusader Army, who had been paying close attention to the situation, stared at the approaching defense soldiers with his scarlet mechanical electronic eyes.

After confirming that the enemy had entered the optimal firing range of the melta cannon and bolter machine gun, the captain took a deep breath and then suddenly gave the order in a deep voice:

"attack!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Da da da!"

The two melta cannons took the lead, spewing out raging flames and rushing straight towards the Apocalypse Tank like two roaring fire dragons.

The melta cannon, which originally had a slow firing rate, was ejected with huge compressed energy balls from the cannon barrel in an instant under the prayers of the servitors and laborers and the control of the members of the Skitarii, forming a dense red net that attacked the defense forces.

At the same time, the ten heavy bolt machine guns were not to be outdone. Dense bullets whizzed out like rain, weaving into a deadly firepower network, mercilessly sweeping towards the defense soldiers.

The heavy bolter machine gun fired bullets densely, but the Skitarii responsible for loading the bullets found that the speed at which the bullets in the single chain decreased was extremely slow.

"The Great Om Messiah is watching over us."
