Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

"Boom! Boom!"

The three-legged scorpions wantonly trample on the smooth road and run at extremely high speeds. They can also easily pierce abandoned vehicles and vehicles. Even the undead warriors blocking the road will be knocked away and pierced by them.

boom! !

Howling through the air.

The fastest three-legged scorpion has already reached the side of an elite, and at a speed that mortals cannot detect, it swings the super-phase blade towards the elite.

! ! ! !

Everything happened so fast that the elite could not react at all, but after realizing that his life was threatened, he instinctively wanted to raise his two lightsabers and turn around to block.

Bah!

However, the strength and weapons and equipment of the two sides were not at the same level at all. Even the elites of the fighting races were stopped and killed by the three-legged scorpions.

"Ouch?! Ouch!!"

Seeing that their comrades who had fought together were killed on the spot, the remaining elites were not afraid of the wrath, they shouted one after another, and launched a counterattack even more desperately.

Buzz! Buzz!

In the streets, more than a dozen energy blades emitting red light danced a "performance" with metal limbs and heads flying around.

There were two elites among them, who launched a surprise attack on the three-legged scorpion that killed their companions.

Bah!

Bah!

But the result remained the same, the two elites were killed one after another.

And in just a few seconds, all the elites who broke into the metal wave were killed.

The Predators, special teams, and many civilians who were responsible for fire cover in the distance had no choice but to watch their compatriots sacrifice their lives and were helpless.

It would be okay if the undead warriors were just slow to react and were no different from zombies. However, the three-legged scorpion can be said to be a high-level unit in a dynasty. It has an extremely hard metal body and its own protective stance generation device, not to mention the equipment they use. The super-phase blade is a bug-like existence.

If we talk about infantry alone, the Empire's side can completely defeat metal bastards like the Three-legged Scorpion in close combat. It should be the veterans of the battalion equipped with Terminator armor.

After all, in the Battle of Charon Tower, it would take at least three, or even more, three-legged scorpions to replace a man-eating shark terminator.

But that was when the veterans faced an enemy attack that was a hundred or a thousand times their own. And even if the veterans had intelligence support from the Emperor, they were still caught off guard when they faced the Necron for the first time.

Now let a Man-eating Shark Terminator face off against a three-legged scorpion. As long as it is not surrounded by dozens of them at the same time, it will kill one-on-one instantly and three-on-one will win completely. Six-on-one will be a bit difficult. If it is nine-on-one, the Man-eating Shark will choose Retreat directly (run away).

But there is no Terminator in this block, and even the reserves that can fight with it are several blocks away. Therefore, without external aid, everyone on the scene will return to the throne.

Kill all the elites.

The three three-legged scorpions once again emitted a faint green light and looked at the front line set up by the special team with their empty eyes.

call out! call out!

During this period, several Iron-bloods continued to bombard the three-legged scorpion from a distance, regardless of the overheating of the shoulder cannon.

Bang...bang...

However, the plasma cannons that flashed blue light were either blocked from exploding by the three-legged scorpion's protective stance, or were directly deflected and landed among the group of undead warriors before exploding.

As for the laser weapon of the special team, it really became a "flashlight" at this time. Even with the assistance of the shoulder cannon of the Iron-Blooded clan, it can indeed consume the three-legged scorpion's protective stance.

But by the time they broke the three-legged scorpion's defense, they had already died under the three super-phase blades that shone with faint green light.

but……

Phew-——~!

A small airborne pod cut through the sky, roaring into the sky above the street, and the bottom of the airborne pod was facing the three three-legged scorpions that were about to continue their rapid advance.

"boom!!!!"

The airborne pod collided with them, causing the already broken road to completely explode in an instant. Smoke, dust and debris flew in all directions, and the undead warriors nearby were even blown away.

? !

Upon seeing this, the special team immediately maximized the shield power of the power armor, while the civilians quickly hid behind bunkers to avoid accidental injuries from being hit by debris.

Wait until there is less movement.

"Bang!"

The door of the airborne landing compartment seemed to be stuck due to the violent landing, and then it seemed to be violently kicked open by passengers.

"Boom! Boom!"

Before the smoke and dust dissipated, the unique sound of magnetic boots on the ground echoed throughout the neighborhood.

?

Has Astartes support arrived?

With doubts and curiosity, the civilians poked their heads out of the bunkers and looked ahead.

The special team with visual aids discovered through the helmet screen that there was a "person" standing in the smoke who also wore power armor but was about the same height as them.

ah?

Not an Astartes?

Realizing that the opponent might be the Empire's Marine Corps, or a special forces unit that was still at the "mortal" level, the surviving members of the special team (equivalent to SWAT) suddenly became a little frustrated.

It’s not that I look down on “mortals”, but when faced with a desperate situation, I first gave hope, but then found out that the help I received was also destined to die. It’s like scratching a lottery ticket and thinking you’ve won, but finding out that the ticket has expired. Your mood will really fall to the bottom. The lowest point.

However, as the smoke quickly dissipated, they could clearly see the "person" standing next to the airborne pod.

The power armor is quite ancient Greek style, painted in bright silver, and even has a "shining" feeling when illuminated by street lights and nearby firelight.

At the same time, even if the "person" is wearing power armor, it can still be seen that "she" has nearly perfect curves. What's more important is that "she" is not wearing a helmet, which makes her waist-length golden-white hair look like Scattered behind like a waterfall.

? ? ?

After seeing the appearance of the "person" clearly, the special team and the civilians were stunned. They felt that the other person looked familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere before, but they couldn't immediately remember who it was.

However, that "person" had no intention of caring about what the special teams and civilians were thinking.

"She" discovered that the three three-legged scorpions had just been broken apart by the airborne pod, and they were struggling to turn their slender scorpion legs, apparently trying to get up.

Seeing this, the "man" took out a war spear about two and a half meters long from the airborne cabin behind him.

Moreover, the war spear is also bright silver as a whole, with exquisite carvings engraved on the shaft, and the tip of the spear is like an exquisite and clear sapphire blue crystal.

Then, the "man" held the crystal war spear tightly in his right hand, then made a slight lunge towards the nearest three-legged scorpion, and then raised his right hand war spear...

"Rou~——!!!" a sound broke through the air.

Bang!

The protective stance was directly shattered.

Bang! Wow! !

The metal body was penetrated by an extremely tyrannical force and instantly fell apart.

No one saw clearly what happened, and no one saw the "person" wearing the bright silver power armor make a throwing motion, and a three-legged scorpion was just destroyed.

It doesn't stop there.

When the "person" stretches his right hand forward and spreads his five fingers, the armor of his right arm will emit bursts of blue light.

Phew~!

The crystal war spear that originally penetrated the ground and penetrated deep into the ground broke out, turned around, and returned to the "man's" right hand.

Next, "she" repeated two throwing movements that could not be observed by ordinary people, and successfully destroyed the other two three-legged scorpions.

After dealing with the biggest threat, "she" also didn't forget to deal with the metal zombies that were still gathering in groups.

"Her" right hand holding the crystal war spear was seen swinging behind her, and then, with a force that ordinary people could clearly see the movement, she "slightly" swung it forward.

call out! !

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It turned out that "she" used the crystal war spear as a boomerang, directly performing a show on how to truly "clear the screen" for the special team behind, the Iron-Blooded clan and all the surviving civilians.

From the time the airborne pod fell down to when there were no more metal zombies on the streets, the whole process took less than two minutes.

"etc……"

It was at this time that the female white-collar worker who had been hiding behind the low wall and holding a pink competition rifle showed an expression of sudden realization, as if she recognized who the "person" was, and explained to the people around her:

"She is Artemis, the goddess of moonlight! When I was watching TV with my children, I saw her in an advertisement. She seemed to endorse the Umbrella skin care brand!"

"Artemis?"

"Oh, it turns out to be a Greek god."

After hearing the words of the female white-collar worker, the surrounding civilians immediately realized who the "person" was, but their tone was not overly surprised.

After all, the current residents of the empire can rely on "Human Truth" to explain the soul and the world after death. They also know that there are chaos called demons in the sea of ​​souls, which are actually creatures from different dimensions. As for the creatures that are not gods, there is no longer much mystery. Feeling.

However, the residents of the Empire have no way of knowing about Artemis as the mentor of the Gray Knights.

Among all the civilians, the ones with the most admiring attitude were the female white-collar workers who were the first to recognize Artemis's identity, as well as some female civilians who like to play with firearms and related competitive games.

One of them couldn't help but praise: "Tsk, tsk, I saw her on TV and thought she had the effect of skin whitening, but I didn't expect that she looks more refined in real life."

Another person echoed in a low voice: "No, otherwise I heard my daughter say that on the gossip forum, some people call her the Moon Queen or the Emperor Queen. It is said that she has an unclear relationship with the Emperor."

It seems that the female commoners do not worship "gods", but simply envy Artemis because she has a good face and an excellent figure.

"Really or not?" The female white-collar worker was even more curious, but after seeing Artemis walking towards their location, she immediately said: "Keep your voice down, stop talking."

The Emperor's kindness is obvious to all, and the Emperor will not deliberately control the various gossips that exist on the Internet. If these gossips can make mankind happy and happy, and by the way improve the overall happiness of mankind, then this is very important to the Emperor. It's nothing at all.

Although they know that their souls will return to the sea of ​​souls after death and have nothing to fear, people are also grateful to survive the disaster, so the atmosphere will be much more relaxed.

But people don't know what Artemis's temper is, mainly because the Moonlight goddess rarely appears in public (she spends most of her time training the Gray Knights on Titan).

"."

In fact, no matter how loud it is, Artemis, who has a divine body, can hear it clearly.

As the empire's power continues to expand, she has gradually "declined" from the original combat power second only to the original body level in the human camp to a mid-to-high level.

However, even so, she can serve as the Grand Mentor of the Gray Knights. Even without the use of so-called divine power and artifacts, she can teach the thornheads who have just arrived on Titan with one hand.

You must know that the Astartes who can survive the reserve period, stand out from many brothers, and go directly to Titan have the strength to be a company champion at a young age.

So against the three-legged scorpions that can pose a threat to the Terminator, it would be strange if Artemis didn't give them an instant kill.

Moreover, because it was known in advance that the planet where the undead tombs were resurrected would have a strong suppression effect on spiritual energy, her brother Hephaestus specially created a purely physical weapon called the "Moonlight Spear".

At the same time, she also upgraded her moonlight armor so that she can easily "recycle" the moonlight spear without using her psychic powers.

Ignoring what people thought of her and her relationship with the Emperor, Artemis walked slowly to the front of the special team and said:

"Escort the civilians at the scene to the port in City Area 05. Judging by the time, it has been successfully retaken by the Raven Guard."

"Yes, ma'am."

The captain of the special team nodded and had no objection to this order, which was not an order. After all, they were unable to continue fighting in their current state.

Then the captain turned around and loudly said through the helmet's external speaker: "Please pay attention to all personnel! We need to evacuate to City Area 05, which is twelve blocks away! Our Team 14 will be responsible for the rear!"

After hearing this, the vast majority of civilians chose to follow the command and consciously formed groups of three, three, or two for retreat and transfer.

Immediately afterwards, the special team was more well-trained and responsible for rearing at all angles and alleys, preparing to wait for a while to confirm that there were no undead tails before retreating.

No matter what is said on the Internet, the overall strength of the special team can only be used in security warfare. Compared with the Marine Corps, or compared to the Imperial Army, it is still considered "junk".

But compared to civilians who understand military operations through games and movies, special teams are still hundreds of times stronger.

Don't use your hobbies to challenge other people's majors. This sentence will never be outdated no matter where you put it.

"Ma'am." But before leaving, the captain raised his hand and pointed south, reminding Artemis: "Before the city fell completely, our Public Security Department received an intelligence report that there was a blackout in District 15 of the city. metal beetles, but they did not launch indiscriminate attacks on civilians, but instead captured them alive."

"Capture alive?" Artemis frowned slightly.

"Yes, ma'am." The captain continued to report to her: "And our Public Security Department has dispatched many police officers and the most well-equipped special teams to assist the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Krieger Assault Regiment in trying to rescue the trapped people. The people there.”

And at this time, the special team numbered fourteen had already begun to set off, and the captain saluted Artemis:

"Then we evacuate first, ma'am."

"Yeah." Artemis responded softly.

Seeing the figure of the last special team member disappearing on the street, she looked back at the strange green light shining in the south, and her intuition told her that the undead tomb on the morning star was definitely using human bodies to do something.
