The Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 88 82. Battle of Croy (2)

When the Raven Guards led their troops to the abandoned fortress successfully, they found no trace of the enemy here, or it may be that the enemies had not come here at all.

If you are an ordinary mortal, you may think so, because except for the disappearance of the imperial defenders and a dozen bullet holes in the wall, everything else here remains intact.

The following Astra Militarum officer reported after checking every corner.

"The entire fortress has been searched, sir. The enemy has taken away all the materials in the armory and warehouse. Apart from the original defense function, nothing is left in the entire fortress."

After hearing this, Kairos the Crow laughed and said

"The aliens are still as timid and cowardly as ever. They have no courage at all to dare to engage in a bright battle with the emperor's warriors."

After Captain Ke Wen heard what his friend said, he smiled for the first time, but this rare smile only lasted for a few seconds. Soon, he turned into the mysterious and eccentric warrior again. Head of the group.

"Where is the enemy heading? Maester."

The head of the think tank closed his eyes and once again felt the direction in which the divine sword was moving. After a few minutes, he stretched out his left hand, pointed in a direction and said

"They fled this way, probably into the underground passage."

After hearing what the think tank director said, Kairos joked

"Looks like we're going to go gopher hunting."

"Don't let down your guard. Senior Calgar failed in their hands before. The Raven Guard must not repeat this tragedy."

Ke Wen simply dismissed Kairos's passion and walked up. However, Kairos was right about one thing, that is, they would be operating and fighting underground later on, and they needed to get some information from the local Mechanicus.

Underground on the planet, reinforcements have arrived.

Some people may find it strange that even though it has been blocked, why can they still receive support?

It turns out that this time Yuan Yuan learned the lesson from the last time. This time, he brought the folding crystal, star gate and central hub, so that even if the expedition fleet has been driven to the outer orbit, it can still support the troops on the planet.

"Forward! Forward! Okay, reverse to the left and get to that place!"

In the Stargate, which is just beginning to take shape, the latest production of Zhurong super-heavy tanks is being transported downwards on a temporary shelf. This huge cave mined by the Mechanicus can accommodate at least an entire Titan Legion and maintenance facilities.

The original purpose of the Mechanicum's mining here was to continue to explore whether there were more ancient ruins on this planet. However, after excavation, no ancient ruins were found, but a crystal mine was found. So the Mechanicus continued to mine here to maintain the operations above.

However, now that all the Mechanicus' troops have been wiped out, this place has always been empty. There is still a chance to continue to use it, which is indeed unthinkable.

Yuan Yuan arrived at the temporary three-story house. Now he had taken off his exoskeleton armor, but he still had the magic knife on his back. Strangely enough, this knife seems to sense the user's body shape and can change its size freely.

Arriving at the assembled steel house, Yuan Yuan said straight to the point.

"Report on the current situation of each entrance and exit."

The dwarf commander standing aside nodded after hearing this. He scratched the command table in front of him, pulled out the holographic screen and said

"The problem we are facing now is still relatively big, because the enemy has now controlled all the planet's surface. Although we have sufficient supplies and soldiers, the enemy is also attacking underground.

The first is that most of the ground we abandoned about 400 meters away has been attacked by the enemy underground, and they even bombarded it with radioactive materials. A barrier has been created between us. "

After the dwarf commander heard this, he lit a cigar for himself with some confusion and said

"That's really strange. Don't their soldiers need to go down and attack us?"

"Perhaps those they sent down are not human beings, or rather ordinary people..."

"You are talking about space warriors, but more than 2,000 space warriors can still play a relatively small role on such a huge planetary battlefield. After all, they are more suitable for beheading operations when being restrained on the frontal battlefield, rather than hiding underground. Cats fight.”

After hearing this, Yuan Yuan also fell into deep thought. He really couldn't figure out who else could enter the radiation area together like the Space Marines.

It is true that ordinary mortal soldiers cannot pass through the space of the monthly table in the radiation area, but some armies can.

"Are you sure I heard correctly? The Skitarii of the Adeptus Mechanicus will march with us?"

Priest Hades showed a ghost expression after hearing this. Except for the technical sergeant major who had some excited expressions, everyone else looked like they had seen a ghost. Because the troops of the Mechanicus have always been solitary, like ghosts, and often do not obey the orders of the imperial command, they always cause some trouble.

The trouble they had just caused was that they placed a large number of radiation bombs at the connection point. Although they successfully pushed the enemy down, it also blocked the possibility of the Astra Militarum troops to move forward.

So this time they came to the door on their own initiative and it was definitely not good.

But Ke Wen had no way to refuse their joining, because the suppression on the ground still relied on the Titan Legion of the Mechanicum. Once the help of the Titan Legion was lost, future actions would be very difficult.

The young chapter leader sighed gloomily.

"Let them join."

In the Mechanicum, Archbishop Cole from Lucius nodded after learning the news of the other party's agreement. This mechanical archbishop, who is more than 600 years old, has undergone long-term body replacement and transformation to look like a giant lizard. This time, he came to capture this precious sword for Lucius.

It is really not easy to seize this thing, because originally this sword was kept in the hands of Agrippina, another world of the Mechanicum.

This group of oil guys with extremely high martial virtues have directly placed their forging world on the edge of the Eye of Terror. From time to time, they will lead their fleets to the Eye of Terror to have a physical battle with the Dark Mechanicus inside. "Academic Exchange".

Therefore, Lucius did not plan to wait for the other party to react and make a big fuss. They planned to snatch this important sword and run away directly. However, they also took great pains to ensure that this sword was always in their hands. , deliberately releasing a large number of nuclear bombs to create a radiation zone that ordinary humans cannot pass through. Only the mechanically modified Skitarii and Astartes can pass through.

But it would be very troublesome if the Astartes got the sword first.

But only if they get it first. Cole was not worried about this at all. After all, Lucius had never been afraid of anyone when it came to digging.
