From Skaven to God-King of War - Chapter 440
These city police were scattered in this crisis, but they still resisted in scattered ways.
In the chaos, the city councilors gradually let go of their bottom line.
They also let in the wilderness mercenaries outside the city and promised to give them permanent city residency as long as they could drive out the enemies of the generals.
These wilderness mercenaries are residents of scattered settlements outside the lighthouse city of Enkos.
A group of fierce guys holding various weapons. The residents of Enkos used to call these guys barbarians contemptuously, but now these civilized people have to rely on the help of these barbarians.
Will these city councilors fulfill their promise to give these wilderness mercenaries city residency? Yes, as long as Enkos can continue to exist in the future.
With the help of the remaining forces from all over, fierce fighting broke out in the city.
Gunfire, explosions, screams, these made this city, which was already in danger of being attacked by the destroyers, even more vulnerable. Many high-rise buildings survived the horrific bombardment, but collapsed in the subsequent battles between the city police, defense company teams, and airborne corps.
The forces that could launch rescue operations were now caught in a fierce battle that was difficult to escape.
Bullets and shells were not particularly effective on the heavy armor. Even the steel needle shells fired by the electromagnetic guns of the pioneer nuclear tanks could not successfully penetrate these heavy armors.
Often after breaking the composite armor on the surface, it would be blocked by the gelatinous protective layer under the composite armor.
What a terrifying defense.
Fortunately, their weapons were not completely defenseless, at least there was a glimmer of hope.
These composite armors made by the rat engineers with all their brains had many advantages, but once they were successfully broken, they would no longer be as strong as before and would shatter and fall off like ceramics.
The buffer layer under the composite armor can block the steel needle shells of the electromagnetic gun, but it can’t block the rockets and large-caliber bullets.
The gerbils can only really hurt the soldiers of the airborne regiment after successfully breaking the defense with the pioneer tank.
Of course, these elite and extremely expensive rat warriors can’t let them attack. The gerbils can indeed break the defense of these monsters, but at the same time, they must pay a price.
A new batch of weapons support arrived, dropped from outer space by another comet-class transport ship.
Like a cannonball, it fell heavily on the ground. A weapon airdrop successfully hit a pioneer tank that was firing in a narrow street. At this moment, the sturdy tank began to sag from the turret, collapsed and deformed, and fierce electric sparks burst out from the tank.
The explosion is about to happen. This is a nuclear tank.
The city police gathered behind the tanks began to flee frantically, and screams of fear rang out on the field, but this did not make the huge figure facing them retreat. He abandoned the vehicle that served as a temporary shield in his hand and strode forward. The flattened nuclear tank had begun to explode violently, and the electric sparks were sprayed out wantonly, covering all the surrounding areas.
The figure striding forward was engulfed by the fierce electric sparks until a terrifying explosion sounded.
The small fission engine in the Pioneer nuclear tank exploded, and a small mushroom cloud rose again in the city. The city police who hid and escaped the disaster showed their heads at this moment.
Obviously, they were definitely dead. In their inherent impression, nothing could survive a small nuclear explosion.
The batch of Pioneer tanks of Jiandun Defense Company were all old models. They were not equipped with more advanced fusion engines. At the same time, they also had design defects, which made it very easy for the tanks to explode when they were severely damaged.
This is a point that the Shield Defense Company has been complained about all the time, but at this moment, the surviving city policemen wished that the design flaws of the fusion engine on the old Pioneer could be bigger, the explosion could be more powerful, and finally the terrifying monster could be completely killed.
It’s just a pity that they couldn’t get what they wanted.
The flames hadn’t gone out yet, and the heavy and terrifying footsteps sounded again, accompanied by the harsh sound of metal tearing.
A huge figure emerged from the small nuclear explosion, and the composite armor all over his body showed a melting and solidifying posture. His movements were a little more stiff, and every step he took was accompanied by a harsh creaking sound, but he finally walked out, like a devil from hell, and also like an immortal demon.
One of the two scarlet electronic eyes had gone out, and the other one shrank in the setback, one bright and one dark, until a huge metal arm knocked hard on the helmet, and the frustrated electronic eye stabilized, scarlet color.
At this moment, even before the damn devil raised the weapon taken from the nuclear explosion, the fighting spirit of these city policemen collapsed.
In fear and despair, they threw down their weapons and began to run wildly, just wanting to stay away from this devil, just wanting to stay away from this tall figure.
However, the tall figure that walked out of the nuclear explosion did not make any move to let them go.
Raise the huge shotgun in your hand. This is a highly effective killing weapon that uses a compressed gas tank and magic energy to instantly fire a large number of armor-piercing steel nails.
Every step forward, the gun in your hand emits a huge roar, and one or more city policemen fall down.
The guy hit by this gun often can’t even leave a complete body. His body is beaten into a pool of minced meat in an instant, leaving a pool of bloody marks where he was hit.
A city policeman who escaped into the store, a young gerbil boy, huddled in the store in fear, covering his ears, losing his courage, just wanting to survive.
But the scarlet eye was in front of him, and he raised the huge gun in his hand in a slow movement, calmly pulled the trigger, and another pool of scarlet marks was imprinted on the ground and the wall.
The killing was completed.
This tall figure took a step outside. You can actually see that his condition is not good. He is steaming hot all over his body, and the melted composite armor is still flowing.
The worst thing was that the backpack with the life support system on his back was damaged.
Step by step, he took steps and left the bloody narrow street. The sun shone down and he came to a main road in the center of the city.
But his movements became more and more stiff and slower until he stopped completely.
The damaged life support system made him unable to resist the terrifying radiation that was fatal. Inside this exaggerated and terrifying armor, curled up was a poor guy with blood slowly flowing all over his body.
This half-dissolved power armor became his coffin, and he finally stopped on this wide street like a statue.
Soon after, a large number of airborne corps soldiers appeared here. They gathered together and took heavy steps to move towards another target location. The main force of the Shield Defense Company and all the remaining city police in the city were rushing there.
They wanted to annihilate the opposite side.
The heavy steps were taken step by step, but no one paid attention to the companion who stood there without moving.
The rats don’t care about death. Their view of life and death is very indifferent. They don’t care about the death of their enemies, companions, or their own death.
They fear death, but never care about things that are already dead.
This is a strange, indescribable state.
Cowardly and indifferent.
………….
Enkos, the City Coordination Bureau, this is the heart of this city.
Fortunately, this archive was not dissolved into boiling lava by the rats’ unethical cannon, but unfortunately, this Enkos City Archives was still affected, and one-third of the entire building disappeared, but fortunately, the most precious set of hosts in the archives was not affected, but unfortunately, the enemy set their sights on this place, but fortunately, the power of the gerbils themselves also gathered here.
In this wasteland, many gerbils agree that the reason why Enkos was able to rise is largely because the city has retained a strong artificial intelligence that survived the golden age.
Once upon a time, the Sand Rat Civilization of the Golden Age had developed to the point where it used intelligent AI to coordinate the resources of the entire civilization, until the outbreak of the subspace invasion.
Their artificial intelligence and virtual reality network were too deeply bound. At the moment when those chaotic things invaded, when the second world of the Sand Rat people was blown up, their AI also had problems.
Errors occurred, restrictions were broken, rebellions occurred, and even turned against the Sand Rat people themselves.
No one was spared. All AI intelligences contaminated by the subspace went crazy. That terrible turmoil ended with a nuclear war that almost covered the entire world. The surviving Sand Rat people almost destroyed all the strong artificial intelligence in the world.
But there are exceptions to everything, such as Enkos, the founder of this city, a group of survivors of the Golden Age, who brought an uncontaminated artificial intelligence out of the shelter.
This artificial intelligence was named Hope by them.
They regarded it as the hope of the Sand Rat people.
Although their ideals were greatly reduced in the end, and only the progressive city of Enkos rose from the wasteland, this hope also played an incomparable key role in the establishment and development of Enkos.
Without his coordination, computing power, and impartial interpretation of order based on rules, this progressive city that inherited the shadow of the golden age would not have been able to be established.
So at the first moment of this crisis, the city councilors sent almost all their forces to the city coordination bureau. They would take back this “hope” at all costs!
Of course, their actions were also observed by the rats, so the airborne soldiers of the entire city rushed in this direction.
Half an hour later, the rats will try to break through the chaotic magnetic field left by the nuclear explosion and try to drop more power to the city.
The city councilors of Enkos have given up saving the city, but they must take away the hope of the coordination bureau anyway. This is the only hope for the reconstruction of Enkos.
The rat airborne regiment that received the order successfully gathered here.
About five minutes later, the two sides will officially meet. This will be an important turning point, and a tragic offensive and defensive battle will officially begin.
At the gate of the archives, a large number of vehicles were piled up to block the road, and firepower was set up uniformly on the high ground. In several huge blasting pits, the pioneer nuclear tanks paused in them, covering the tank’s body, revealing only the turret and the black muzzle.
In key positions, several groups of nuclear batteries were even buried.
Although these Enkos city councilors also wanted to take hope away as soon as possible, the collapsed structure and melted metal in the Destroyer’s bombardment became obstacles for them to reach the underground machine room smoothly.
Once, for safety reasons, they placed the unit in a heavy secret room buried deep underground. Now, this has become their own obstacle.
In the chaos, they have mobilized most of the engineering forces, but the cleaning of the collapsed tunnel and ruins is still so slow.
This is also a kind of helpless thing. The delicate “hope” cannot withstand the bombardment.
Outside the archives, the Ratman Airborne Corps had already fought with the consultants of the defense company and the city police.
Explosions continued to sound.
These tall guys were constantly advancing, and the guy holding an exaggerated large shield in his hand was at the forefront. The pioneer tanks hiding in the explosion pit began to fire.
A terrifying armor-piercing shell wrapped with electric light hit the shield in the hand of the leading guy fiercely. In the extremely harsh sound, the leading guy was pushed back and slid. The foot armor kept rubbing against the hard road. He was pushed for a long distance before slowly stopping.
This shell did not penetrate the heavy shield in the hand of this guy. The huge steel needle embedded in the center of the shield was particularly eye-catching. He shook the heavy shield in his hand that was as heavy as the door of the vault. The guy who took this shell raised his head, and a pair of scarlet electronic eyes entered the sight of everyone on the opposite side. He continued to take heavy steps forward as if nothing had happened.
The shock this brings is difficult to describe. All we can say is that the high cost of the power armor does have its reasons.
