The Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 386 374. Living Forest (IV)

The hot laser shells hit the trees, and a thick vine quickly emerged from the woods, slamming several soldiers surrounding the armored vehicle onto the vehicle.

"What's going on? Fire!"

The major tried hard to grab the edge of the command tower to prevent himself from being thrown off, and then immediately ordered his driver to fire. It was obvious that something must have been hit just now, otherwise no one would attack. Those unlucky soldiers all huddled on the ground and wailed. The attack just now must have broken their ribs and even squeezed their organs.

The major looked at these new recruits and old brothers, all of whom were knocked to the ground and could not roar. The flames of the heavy turbolaser artillery began to burn the forest. The armored vehicles and soldiers next to them also reacted quickly to this attack. The heavy shells of the Leman Russ tanks fired at the possible target points in the woods, and the soldiers next to them also fired randomly in panic.

Under the blazing laser shooting and the iron stream of artillery shells, the enemies hidden in the woods finally appeared.

Under the shocked eyes of the human soldiers, more than a dozen huge tree people at least as tall as the sentinel mecha emerged from the forest. They were the masters of this forest, the Mauweier people. When the expeditionary force arrived at Khar, the terrible flames killed millions of their people and also killed a large number of Peremen living in the jungle. They were extremely angry and quickly entered an ambush state under the intelligence of the Khar authorities, ready to make those who destroyed their homes pay the price.

The Peremen and Mauweier people were not primitive people. These alien creatures with more advanced technology quickly fought back. The tall plant-type intelligent life, in addition to their hard bark, also wore green alloy steel plates, and some officers were even equipped with light shields.

They themselves are a terrible weapon. Their body structure can withstand a large number of attacks from era weapons and even thermal weapons. And in order to be able to fight, they have successfully given their bodies extensions such as biological plasma cannons, shields and melee weapons before the battle. This kind of biotechnology is not something that is specially grown by the Tyranids, but it has been cultivated before. If necessary, the Mauwels can extend their vine tentacles to connect with them and join the battle directly.

After the powerful tree people rushed into the battlefield, they immediately caused a great shock to humans. After all, looking at these behemoths that are several times taller than themselves, normal people will be scared to death, even soldiers. And when the soldiers found that the laser guns in their hands did little damage to the enemy, they were even more terrified. Those powerful and terrifying tree people waved their huge branches and leaves, and under those branches and leaves was a huge tree tumor, which directly smashed their enemies into meat patties, or ion swords with green light, or even just a touch of bright green leaves, but in fact those leaves were sharp enough to easily cut people's bones and stir the victims into their own juices to become a bloody mess of flesh.

As for the armored forces, the tree people also have their own methods. The tallest tree people are officers. They hold biological plasmas that can be regarded as heavy plasma weapons in their hands. They fire at the side armor of the enemy armored forces, directly turning the members and all the parts inside into a thick paste.

"Flame thrower, flame thrower, burn these damn trees to ashes!"

Under such fear, there are still rational people who immediately think of what these plants are afraid of according to common sense. The flamethrower carries the flamethrower and bravely sprays the scorching flames at the huge trees. The orange-red promethium flames burn on the enemy. This terrible chemical fuel is tens of thousands of times more powerful than traditional napalm. It has been used in large quantities in all aspects of the human empire since the establishment of the empire, and this terrible hellfire has successfully frightened the tree people.

A tree man was surrounded by several flamethrowers while moving forward. The terrible flames made the plant-shaped intelligent creatures make painful sounds, and finally collapsed to the ground and turned into a pile of charcoal with black smoke.

After seeing that the fire could deal with these guys, the courage of the soldiers and armored forces rose again. The Chimera flamethrowers, which were specially used to burn the enemy, immediately turned their guns and began to fire at the tree people who dared to approach them. The hot flames forced them to retreat, and the soldiers began to rush up to attack the enemy with incendiary bombs out of anger and courage. Although the powerful plasma was still destroying their vehicles, the soldiers had seen the hope of victory.

However, the light infantry was also greatly attacked when they charged, because some of the tree people who were specially used for close combat had a large number of Peremen defending them. The half-elves set up a large number of light weapons on their tree allies, including not only squad machine guns and grenade launchers, but also honeycomb-shaped small-caliber rocket launchers.

These tree cavalrymen who were specially designed to defend against the light infantry line to sneak attack successfully made the Astra Militarum pay a bloody price, but the Lemanus Punisher also made them pay a bloody revenge. The six multi-barreled Gatling heavy machine guns equipped on the Punisher simply ignored their armor, and the metal frenzy turned them into debris, taking their alien companions with them and turning them into the eternal past.

After being attacked, the tree people immediately retreated back to the forest. After all, it was too inappropriate for them to use their carbon-based flesh to fight against the enemy's steel body. Soon, the tree people left here with their half-elf friends, leaving behind debris all over the ground.

This human army won the victory with difficulty, and the soldiers of the armored corps had been completely defeated by this battle. If it was not the morale of the soldiers, but their steel behemoths. The enemy's goal was very clear, and they directly destroyed their armored vehicles. Only a small number of Chimeda armored vehicles and sentinel mechas, as well as Leman Russ main battle tanks survived, and at least 1/3 of the soldiers were killed.

After the war, people could only look at the bodies of their companions and the bodies of the steel behemoths piled together in frustration. They now had no way to move forward. Even if they could successfully reach the periphery of the alien city, they were looking for death in their current state.

After the regiment leader informed the commander of the Iron Fortress of the news, the other party also understood it. However, before that, he asked to bring the bodies of the dead tree people and half-elves, as well as their technological products. The mechanical priests needed to understand the enemy from these things, and then consider how to defeat them.

In this way, the troops of several regiments retreated cautiously. They suffered serious casualties in the first day of the battle, but they finally escaped from the man-eating jungle.
