Along the way, the team led by Soshyang passed through several dim passages and small mausoleums and halls, but did not encounter any enemies.
Occasionally they can hear gunshots and explosions from afar, but because of the special environment on the world's engines, they can't judge the direction and source of the sound at all. They can only ignore the subtle movements and move on.
The ornithology is still as usual. Aksai has been complaining that the things in his hand can't play its role. Soshyang wants to shut him up, but if he doesn't let him talk, this guy will probably take the time. The bird divination stomped on one foot.
So he would rather bear this complaint.
"and many more!"
walked for another minute, just as Soshyang began to consider whether he was looking in the wrong direction, Aksai pressed his shoulder.
"This tattered thing is finally moving!"
"Aksai, I have to remind you, don't let the casting master hear this sentence, he will use an axe to give you a good lesson."
"I'm serious! Look."
Soshyang glanced, really.
The fanning light spots on the bird divination show that there are several comrades in arms at a position less than 500 meters away from them.
But the question is, who will it be in this position?
"Come here!"
Zahenas struggling through the main control hall, the ground composed of black rocks swayed under his feet, and a small group of aliens had fallen under the blasting gun.
The noise that would make an ordinary person yield stimulated his eardrums, but the company commander of the eighth company suppressed the discomfort and approached the enemy.
He chopped down an advancing undead spirit, cut off its sternum and then beheaded it with a retrace.
The roar of the arrow gun fire was full of metal, echoing in his helmet.
These creatures were everywhere in groups, and soon surrounded him.
The intermittent flicker of the muzzle flame from his weapon illuminates the terrible destruction he has created, and the scream of his chainsaw sword leads a high-pitched chorus of torn metal.
He walked through these despicable mobs with difficulty, approaching its source, and just as it was approaching him, he felt the pressure on his mind increased.
So he quickly called one of his comrades-in-arms.
"Garlin! Did you hear that?"
Garlin had just got rid of an alien that was holding his arm, and then smashed it with a weapon, the power sword cut through the fragile metal bone like air.
"Hear! Company commander!"
As he said, he raised his blaster pistol at the other one, pressed the trigger, and blasted the creature into a shower of metal shards and silver liquid.
Then the soldier rushed forward and crashed into the third one.
Its smooth head hit his combat helmet. In an instant, the entire face was smashed and sunken. Some metal fragments obstructed the line of sight. Garlin wiped the helmet clean with the back of his armored hand.
As the head was destroyed, this alien creation seemed to lose control of the body and collapsed, collapsed to the ground.
They are just a simple pool of metal. Garlin has fought with more powerful enemies, but such a large group is consuming his energy, and even his genetically strengthened muscles are burning in such a real battle. .
For every three Astarte killed, another six rushed up, like a colony of ants pouring out from the ground.
Realizing his anxiety, Garlin chopped another one, but he was being gradually pushed back.
During the melee, he caught a glimpse of Carlo. The lieutenant of the company was also suppressed. The metal fragments flying from his raging chainsaw sword were wrapping him.
He couldn't see the fellow players in the other company, and Garlin could only assume that they had been swallowed by this group of metal nightmares.
"Garlin! Move closer to me! Everyone, you see!"
"Yes!"
Garlin was just about to go to support Carlo. Suddenly, accompanied by a tormenting, earth-shaking sound tore and dislocation, Garlin felt the deck under his feet tilt, as if it was twisting his body.
In the blink of an eye, a large piece of the floor that was torn down seemed to be bitten by an invisible jaw, and it burst open, and the fragments rolled and slipped into the void.
A towering black alien pyramid just appeared, as well as a vehicle shaped like a giant scorpion, carrying a whole group of undead on it. They seem to be much more difficult to deal with than these cannon fodder.
"Gallin!"
Zahenas struggled through a large group of undead towards the entrance of the main control hall, where the surviving company members gathered.
His armor has been scratched and sunken by their claws, and his body is trembling with exhaustion. At this time, his strong physique can no longer save them, but he can only stick to the rigor of his mind.
"what happened!"
"The company commander, an alien...black pyramid, it blocks our way to the energy node."
He said calmly through the helmet communicator.
According to the previous plan, the company commander will lead some fighters to attract the attention of the undead, while Garlin and another adjutant will lead a combat team to destroy the energy node.
At first everything went smoothly, but as the number of undead increased, they found that they had miscalculated the reaction of the other party. The eight companies that were divided into two fell into a bitter battle. In the end, after more than an hour of fierce battle, they just barely destroyed a few of them. The non-critical secondary node, and the most critical primary node has become an unattainable goal.
There are only 21 soldiers left in the Eighth Company at this time.
"Think of a way to solve it!"
In response to this sentence, the top of the alien pyramid began to gather beams, and then fired to one point, and all the energy was poured into the company's adjutant.
For an instant, the infused energy seeped from every joint and gap of the power armor. The adjutant didn't even have a chance to make a painful cry, so it was erased without leaving a trace.
Angrily grabbed Zahnas, and the only thing he could do was to kill further and continue to fight until he became the next target.
"The fifth team, go forward!"
As if a divine soldier had fallen from the sky, a small group suddenly shot out from the right side of the pyramid. The leading soldier raised the explosive gun in one hand and waved the chain saw in the other to kill the dead vehicle that was loading and unloading the soldiers.
Feeling an enemy approaching, the suspended vehicle began to turn around, but just as a dead spirit was about to jump off, and was disturbed by the sudden shaking of the vehicle, half of his body slipped to the side, causing him, the ground and the vehicle to form a pinch. Horn, made the machine sway violently, but couldn't turn around smoothly.
"Pull a bomb!"
Such a great opportunity, the emperor's righteous warrior would naturally not let it go. Several grenades arced and fell around the necromantic vehicle.
boom~!
A fire storm rushed into the sky, clearing all the dead in an instant, and then Soshyang raised his hand to shoot another round towards the top of the pyramid.
The explosion penetrated the window at the top of the building, and sparks from the node exploded in all directions. The circuit on the front side of the pyramid flickered and then fell silent.
But it is not dead Energy is still gathering.
"Eight Lian! Go ahead!"
Zahenas also fell down the warriors to launch a surprise attack. They killed all the way towards the pyramid, knocking all the dead spirits over like rocks on the road.
"Kill it!"
After realizing that the pyramid had concentrated the energy to a dangerous level, Soshyang signaled to the team's heavy weapon hand, and the opponent immediately raised the heavy explosive gun and aimed it at the target.
Only a roar was heard, and the top of the pyramid was bombarded like a storm. As the circuits on all sides continued to extinguish, the pyramid finally fell silent.
"Zahenas Company Commander, I am in the seventh company——"
"Sergeant Soshyan, I know you."
While other fighters were still resisting the counterattack of the mechanical undead, Zahenas came to Soshyang, and he was carrying a hot melt bomb in his hand.
"Thanks to you this time."
The company commander took off his helmet and forced a smile on his face.
"The captain is in that direction. You can find him from here, but I have to remind you that it is the core area of the alien fortress, so be careful."
"But here..."
Soshyang hesitated. He saw that there were very few soldiers left in the Eighth Company. The corpses all over here were enough to prove how fierce the earlier battle was, so how could he bear to leave?
"This is our mission, soldier, you should complete your mission."
patted Soshyang on the shoulder, and Zahenas limped towards the flashing energy node.
"let's go."
Glancing at the other person's back, Soshyan turned and led the team members to the direction Zachnas pointed to. At this time, he noticed that this so-called world engine seemed to be shaking...
