Automatic doors unfold.

A group of guys who could not be directly observed entered this corridor with silent steps.

If it were an ordinary human being, he would only think that the sensor device of the automatic door was malfunctioning, and then be secretly killed by these guys.

Even if they sense something is wrong, ordinary humans cannot keep up with their speed of action, and they will also end up dead.

But it is a pity that they are targeting the Astartes who are transcendent mortals and have the visual aid of ceramite armor.

The moment Gabriel and his brothers opened the automatic door, they used pulse scanning to display the outline on the helmet screen. They "saw" that they were a group of elites equipped with special armor, and they wanted to use "stealth" to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

then…

"Dang! Dang!"

Gabriel and the others locked onto the elite first and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Boom! Boom!"

Bolter rounds hit the elites' energy shields, forcing them to reveal themselves.

After removing the alternative optical camouflage effect, it was discovered that the armor of this group of elites was dark silver, which was more sophisticated than the guys they had encountered before.

The same is true for the strength of the energy shield, which requires at least five to seven standard bolt rounds to break through.

And the reaction speed is far superior to similar people wearing blue helmets and red helmets.

After Gabriel and the others attacked first and completed a round of precise firing, six of the dozens of silver-armored elites who tried to sneak attack them successfully survived.

This surprised Gabriel and the others who had just grown up.

"Ouch!!"

Unexpectedly, the ceramic armor had pulse scanning, so the six elites who were caught off guard couldn't help but roar loudly and shake their right hands holding some kind of sword hilt.

"Buzz~----!"

A double-edged energy sword shining with light blue stretched out from the hilt.

Then, the six silver-armored elites stared at their respective targets and attacked Gabriel and the others at extremely fast running speeds.

"Dang! Dang!"

Operate the reloaded bolter and several Thutmose who do not need to reload, and continue to deal damage to the six silver-armored elites.

In an instant.

An elite was hit by a 1.0cal caliber bolter round. The shield only helped it withstand two hits before it was blown to pieces by the remaining bolters.

Four other elites also died from Thutmose's precise shots, and one of them threw his energy sword with all his strength at the moment the shield was shattered.

Even this desperate blow, which unleashed the ultimate potential, was unable to harm any Thutmose.

However, the last remaining elite, taking advantage of the opportunity for their comrades to attract firepower, successfully approached Gabriel, swung their energy sword and stabbed Gabriel in the neck.

Gabriel, who was well prepared, retreated slightly to avoid the stabbing attack, and then took advantage of the situation and made a left knee move towards the elite.

"Bang--!"

The energy shield helped the elite to hold the knee, but it was also pushed away by Gabriel's strong force. The whole body hit the bulkhead of the corridor, and then fell heavily to the deck.

Before it could struggle to get up, one of Gabriel's brothers used several bolt rounds to completely destroy its shield and completely end its life.

“…”

Looking at the bodies paralyzed on the ground, the Thutmose people under their helmets had already serious expressions that became even more solemn.

After the actual battle, they figured out the combat organization of this "alliance" and clearly noticed that the elites wearing different armors seemed to represent different levels of elites.

A regular team consists of five to seven Grunts, two Gnolls, and one blue-armored elite.

The blue armor elite's military rank compared to humans should be equivalent to non-commissioned officers such as corporal and sergeant, responsible for command and maintaining discipline.

As for the other conventional team that Gabriel and the others had dealt with, it consisted of five to seven Jiralhanae.

From this, we can know that the number of Jiralhanae beasts must far exceed that of the elite clan.

But during the battle, they discovered that the elites had absolute control over all races. Even the most basic blue-armored elites could command a team composed solely of Jiralhanae.

Finally there are the elites wearing different armors.

The red armor is equivalent to a lieutenant with a human military rank, commanding multiple regular squads, and has a steady fighting style, unlike the blue armor elite who are impulsive and irritable.

The silver-armored elites who have just been eliminated may be special forces, or a "veteran" team like the Legion of Astartes.

And compared to the ferocious, strong, but slow-moving Jiralhanae, the elites who are comprehensive and balanced in all aspects pose a greater threat to their group of Astartes who are still new recruits.

There may be more tough guys to deal with.

Gabriel, who was too lazy to continue worrying, changed his ammunition and walked to the body of the elite who was kneeled by him. He bent down and stretched out his left hand to pick up the energy sword with its blade still unfolded.

The hilt is the right size.

Then he controlled his strength, and without breaking the handle of the sword, he used his palm to press the sensor device in the center and successfully retracted the radiant sword blade.

No need to remind you deliberately.

All the brothers also picked up the energy swords, put away the blades, and placed the hilts on the adsorption belts around their waists.

After all, they are reserve forces, and their melee weapons only include the standard chain sword and a 60-centimetre-long titanium alloy dagger.

Ready to go.

Gabriel said in a deep voice: "Let's go."

"yes."

The next group of brothers continued to move quickly towards the front area of ​​the ship, efficiently clearing away the enemies blocking the way, looking for the bridge and the golden-armored commander.

…

Outside the flagship.

In the space under deep space, various artillery regiments and ballistic trajectories streaked across, and the flashes of fire caused by explosions showed that the duel between ships still had no winner.

It also shows that the pressure endured by all members of the Punishment is far greater than that of Gabriel and his gang members.

Close look.

The Punishment, which relies on maneuverability to fight guerrillas, is currently under a cockroach-shaped enemy ship, with its bow pointed at its belly.

Ri~----!

Phew~----!

The electromagnetic gun that had finished charging immediately opened fire, bombarding the shield that emitted purple light with projectiles that could not be intercepted by conventional methods.

Click~----!

With just one shot, the projectile successfully completed its mission of breaking the shield.

Although the remaining force was not enough to cause fatal damage to the "cockroach", the two secondary cannons that had also completed the energy storage melted the projectiles through the outer armor and shot into the interior.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Boom~----!

The two plasma cannons successfully caused the "cockroach" to explode extremely violently from the inside to the outside.

The Punishment's speed did not slow down at all, as if "she" herself was used as a battering ram, she rushed straight to the site of the explosion, using the titanium alloy armor that mankind is most proud of, completely splitting the "cockroach" in two

.

at the same time.

The three squadrons accompanying the Punishment also relied on the "sunken" enemy ship wreckage to cooperate and lure each other, and successfully destroyed a large number of less agile enemy aircraft.

The number of enemy planes dropped sharply, which finally gave the pilots some free time. They took the time to return to the hangar one by one and let the scolding ground crew replenish their bombs.

As for the most threatening flagship, due to the internal damage caused by Thutmose, it continued to attract the attention of the enemy commander, making the flagship temporarily unable to take care of the Punishment.

Being at an absolute disadvantage, they were able to successfully destroy an enemy ship with almost the same technological level and with different enemy ships on both sides. This is enough to make the entire crew of the Punishment go down in history.

but…

Another cockroach-type enemy ship, which was intact and intact, had already completed its turn, accelerated its speed, approached the Punishment, and fired a dense barrage.

This caused the Punishment, which was unable to dodge, to withstand many high-temperature artillery shells, causing a violent explosion on the right side of the ship.

At the same time, the cockroach-shaped enemy ship once again released a large number of carrier-based aircraft, including cylindrical transport aircraft carrying combat troops.

Looking at this posture, the other party also wants to force him to join the gang.

Inside the bridge.

"Boom~----!" The explosion caused the ship body to shake violently.

"The starboard side was severely damaged. The explosion just now caused the main engine to approach the overload limit! Captain, we can no longer maintain the original speed!"

"The main gun was also affected and took five minutes to be ready. The No. 2 secondary gun and five close-in defense guns were offline. The missile bay on the starboard side could not be deployed. The 1st maintenance team is currently trying to repair it!

But fortunately, the airborne preparation module located on the inner starboard side was not damaged."

"The internal compartments have completed the sealing procedure, and the 2nd and 3rd maintenance teams will carry out emergency repairs to ensure the airtightness of the ship's hull!"
