1009. Revelation: The Destruction of Baal (X)
Chapter 999 Revelation: The Destruction of Baal (10)
Bada——
At this moment, Craig, who was driving the vibranium power armor deeper into the dilapidated fortress and conducting pre-battle inspections, vaguely noticed that something was not quite right.
This throbbing coming from the depths of his instinct made him subconsciously stop the pace of his magnetic boots.
Not only did he pull out a vibranium power sword stained with Tyranid purple blood from his waist with his backhand, but he also propped up a blue vibranium energy shield to protect most of his burly body.
According to the layout, the area in front of Craig should be a defensive position belonging to several teams of Ultramarines and a Blood Son regiment.
However, at the moment, he saw no trace of any Astartes here.
This huge team of at least hundreds of people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Only half of the firepower turrets and many heavy firepower weapons were left that had just been overhauled.
"Captain Titus, this is Craig... Area C on the lower level of the fortress. It is suspected that the Licat insect has infiltrated. Please lead your battle brothers immediately to reinforce the void shield's reactor group. I think the defense strength there is only Four giant Crow Guards are not enough!”
Craig, who reacted extremely quickly, immediately sent a communication message to the outside world.
In fact, in countless difficult battles before.
Similar situations have not happened before.
When everyone persisted until late at night on the fourth day, several licarts who were proficient in stealth assassination successfully sneaked into the interior of the ruined castle by relying on the underground passages dug by the digging pythons.
And their only mission goal is not to assassinate a certain commander, but to try to destroy the power supply equipment of the large void shield!
You must know the only reason why Ba Weiyi's dilapidated fortress did not fall.
In addition to the extremely heavy casualties paid by the Astartes present, it was the long-term existence of the large void shield that allowed them to continue to hold on.
If the only void shield completely loses its defensive role, then the ruined fortress may have only one option: falling.
And a large number of Astartes and mutant tribes can only become the biomass of the Tyranids.
At that time, the Sons of Hydra from the Alpha Legion were still there.
Being more proficient in counter-stealth tactics, they successfully tracked the traces of the Licate bug and re-exploded the underground passage deep in the fortress.
However, now, the Sons of Hydra who had been deliberately targeted by the Tyranid swarm were dying on the defensive front one after another.
Even if Craig and others wanted to resolve the crisis as soon as possible, they no longer had the Astartes who could find traces of the Licate in a short time.
Dong dong dong——
At this moment, Craig, who was extremely cautious, slowly drove the vibranium powered armor deeper into the fortress passage.
Various detection systems located inside the helmet's eyepiece have been quickly activated by him.
In just a few seconds, he successfully found a pile of uniform magnetic boot footprints through heat detection.
But wait until Craig reaches the spot where countless magnetic boot footprints have disappeared.
But he glanced at the corner of the wall.
A large piece of thick wall that was completely shattered and a dark cave passage that seemed to lead deeper into the fortress!
"Could this be another work of the Python? But why didn't the Blood Sons, who were responsible for underground sneak attacks, issue any warning? And how could hundreds of Astartes not be able to deal with just a few Licates?"
"It always feels like something is not right, but I don't know what is wrong for the moment..."
Craig, whose breathing became smoother and longer, thought silently.
Even though the fighting instinct of the giant crow guard is constantly giving out some kind of warning.
But he didn't hesitate for long, and drove the vibranium power armor toward the bottom of the dark cave!
Dong dong dong——
The next moment, the sound of heavy footsteps from the magnetic boots gradually dissipated in the dark cave and Craig's ears.
As a bloodline heir of Crow King Corax, the silent stealth skill is almost an instinct integrated into the huge body of the giant Crow Guard.
As Craig continued to go deeper, the height and width of this dark cave gradually increased!
If it could only accommodate one Astartes Terminator before, it could barely pass.
Then in the cave passage after this, even driving a Land Raider is more than enough!
It was at this moment that Craig, who was quietly demonstrating his stealth skills, suddenly stopped any movement of his huge body.
On the one hand, within the scope of his eyepiece, he could vaguely see part of the Astartes' heat profile signal through the thick wall.
On the other hand, he suddenly remembered what was wrong just now!
"Traces of battle! Hundreds of Astartes did not leave any traces of battle in the area! Even if they accidentally encountered a sneak attack by Licates, there would be no traces of battle!"
"In other words, either the Tyranids have sent out some kind of super combat unit that can kill any Astartes secretly, or this matter has nothing to do with the Tyranids!"
At this moment, Krieger took a deep breath and carefully stared into the field of view of the eyepiece.
He subconsciously let out a sigh from inside the helmet as those thermal silhouettes seemed to be kneeling down.
"Right now, I'm more inclined to think that other forces are involved...such as Chaos!"
Kakaka——
The next second, there was a fleeting subtle mechanical sound.
The vibranium power armor covering Craig's huge body quickly unfolded a special deformation structure.
He immediately activated the giant form with terrifying survival and combat capabilities.
Craig's entire burly body instantly increased several times, completely turning into a gamma giant that was almost immune to physical attacks!
Chi chi chi!
Then, Craig used the stealth skill Shadow Step without any hesitation.
His even larger giant body easily passed through the increasingly tortuous cave passage.
He also came to the depths of a huge cave where the air was filled with particles of scarlet light!
At this moment, it was within Craig's field of vision.
Hundreds of Astartes kneeling on one knee had been completely disemboweled by the chainsaw sword and lost any signs of life!
A mutant psychic with a bloody octagonal chaos emblem crookedly carved in the center of his extremely pale forehead was slowly raising his distorted and hideous face!
"Hehehe... you seem to be late, giant angel!"
"I will return to the warm embrace of the gods, and no longer have to endure the painful torture from the Tyranids!"
"The great blood god... say hello to you!"
In a flash, the low voice of the mutant psychic quickly echoed around.
Before Craig could perform the teleportation-like shadow step, he launched an extremely sharp slashing attack.
The opponent's entire thin body suddenly exploded into countless scarlet blood and fresh minced meat, and these things formed an extremely large blood-red portal before they fell to the ground!
Rumble--
The next second, with a huge blood-red light column rising from the depths of the ruined fortress.
A super subspace storm with a scale of thousands of kilometers suddenly emerged between the blood-red sky of Baal!
And the painful screams from the hive will itself quickly echoed throughout the Baal galaxy through the mouthparts of countless Tyranids!
Thank you for your support!
The great writer of the History Channel's July anime series passed away due to illness. It's a pity. I have added his books to my bookshelf but never read them.
