- Chapter 467 - 06.0464: ‘The competition between peers is the most intense’
The Imperial Navy boarding force caught the merchant ship, which was in the process of damage control, off guard.
Without the long-wave communication equipment on the bridge, the armed guards on the ship could not use the short-wave communication on their combat uniforms to contact the patrol fleet 10,000 kilometers away.
And Father Lati’s full-channel blocking interference seriously interfered with the enemy’s internal communications.
“It’s the Imperials! Seize the cover position! Quick! Quick! Ah!”
The Tau armed guards wearing combat armor were just about to raise their guns in the corridor to block the enemies rushing into the ship, but they were blown up by fierce firepower, and the rest were suppressed back to the bunker.
The Imperial Navy armed forces that rushed into the cabin advanced alternately,
The Skitarii Hunters used galvanic weapons to suppress the armed guards in the open cargo hold.
The Akahan-type galvanic rifles and galvanic carbines in their hands were no different from the pulse rifles and pulse carbines used by the Tau ship guards.
Under the cover of the Skitarii Rangers, the Imperial Navy boarding teams wearing fine heavy armor steadily advanced with the cover of boarding shields.
Under the coordinated operation of the commander, the Imperial Army only suffered a small number of casualties and reached the bottom of the cargo hold corridor.
Seeing that the friendly forces on the front cargo hold corridor were suppressed, they were about to be wiped out by the boarding team members holding shotguns.
A Tau Army assault team hiding at the side door of the cargo ship deck was ready to attack the Navy boarding team and the Mechanicus Skitarii who were suppressing their own side from the side.
Under the route guidance of a Pathfinder team, the two assault teams prepared to act.
Just as the leading Pathfinder team member was about to fire the first shot, a combat knife suddenly stabbed out from the corner and stabbed into his face.
Without waiting for other team members to fight back, the bang of the bolt pistol suddenly rang throughout the corridor.
Even though the Pathfinders’ battle armor had advanced detection devices and their guns had marking devices, the Raven Guard brothers who came from the Death Watch clearly knew how to counter these devices better than their previous enemies.
When the gunshots disappeared, the sound of bodies falling to the ground was heard. Brother Korchagin, dressed in black armor, disappeared into the shadows again and sneaked into the corridor leading to the power cabin.
The Imperial Navy boarding team sent troops to suppress from the side and encircle the flank threat.
“The hostiles have discovered us!” The leader of the assault team shouted to his teammates next to him.
The assault team holding carbines was suppressed by the Navy’s double-barreled pump-action shotguns in close combat firepower and could not raise their heads.
A servant warrior on the opposite side poked his head and gun barrel out of the corner, trying to suppress the boarding team’s advance, but just as his head and left shoulder poked out of the cover, the dense shotgun barrage tore the left half of his upper body apart and he died instantly.
Seeing the blood of his dead compatriots flowing all over the ground, the commando captain gritted his teeth.
“Request support from the Breakout Squad!”
Boom! Boom!
The Fire Warrior Squad, armed with a shorter pulse weapon, quickly rushed from the barracks.
With the assistance of the tactical drone bee, they quickly arrived at the surrounded part of the Imperial Navy boarding team.
As the Breakout Captain’s tactical arrangement began to be implemented, after losing a tactical drone used to provide vision, they took out the photon grenade and threw it towards the corridor.
The dazzling flash made Horatio, who was in the command field, notice this part of the war zone.
[Breakout Squad? ]
He became alert. As a traverser, he knew very well that the pulse explosion guns in their hands were not just for show.
Unlike the armed guards of the servant race, this was a regular elite fire warrior squad of the Tau Empire. Each cargo ship had only a small number of such troops to maintain order.
Interestingly, just as the Imperial Navy’s boarding team was called the “Scavenger Breaker” team.
These Fire Warrior Breakers holding pulse incendiary guns have a similar positioning to the Imperial Navy’s boarding team.
The pulse incendiary guns in their hands also use a pump-driven design, but they are serious plasma weapons. Both the power and the rate of fire are more ferocious than the Imperial Navy’s boarding team’s shotguns. Through the output of fierce saturated plasma strikes at close range, its firepower is even enough to penetrate the Astartes’ ceramic steel power armor.
He immediately asked the boarding team that was blinded by the photon grenade to retreat to the entrance of the corridor to find cover.
But it is not easy to do in practice.
The shield guard in front of the photon grenade was dizzy and tinnitus. Even the eyepiece that can cover the stellar radiation will inevitably cause dizziness and double vision in the dazzling degree of photon level.
Without waiting for the leading vanguard to retreat, the Fire Warrior Breaker team rushed up.
The pulse incendiary gun in his hand The fire started immediately, and the plasma sprayed saturatedly at the boarding team members who were blinded and retreated hastily.
In just a moment of hitting, the solid boarding shield was burned and pierced by the dense plasma sprayed.
Five fire warriors broke through the entrance with pump-driven pulse explosion guns. After being hit by plasma continuously, the surface of the fine boarding shield was smashed and the shield body was broken.
The continuous plasma shot through the heavy armor of the boarding team members mercilessly, and the fine void armor was like a piece of thin paper in front of the pulse weapon.
The shield guard fell to the ground, and his tall body was shot into a sieve by the dense plasma.
The wound on the dark blue void armor was charred, and the sizzling black smoke came out.
As for what the body under the heavy armor looked like, it was horrifying to think about it.
The surviving boarding team members in the rear retreated to the outside of the hatch. Because they had not yet recovered from the flash of the photon grenade, they could only hide behind the cabin wall and use their shotguns to fire inside.
But as soon as he extended the gun barrel, he was marked by the marking ray of the tactical drone bee that was ringing above his head.
The shotgun was stretched out and not fired yet. The next second, the burning pain burned through the entire arm holding the gun.
“Ah! These damn aliens!” A boarding team member looked at his hands burned through the bones by plasma and cursed with gritted teeth.
They no longer tried to shoot back, but chose to throw grenades inside. A tactical drone bee went straight to the grenade thrown over and accurately shot down the grenade that had just been thrown in. The explosive that lost its target fell on the open space of the cargo ship and exploded, only destroying the silver container with rounded and neat lines on the side.
Just as the Fire Warrior Breaker Squad was about to rush out and break through the combat position of the Imperial Navy boarding team, the drone bee sent out for reconnaissance found that there were no figures on both sides.
Just as the tactical drone bee was looking for the location of the enemy boarding team that had evacuated from the surrounding area, a terrifying rash man’s servo skull rushed over.
Bang!
Wow! Zila Zila!
The tactical drone was hit by the floating servo skull and its magnetic levitation structure was damaged, and it fell to the ground.
Although the servo skull also lost a piece of bone and there were traces of bone fractures on the surface, it could still continue to fly.
Not long after, several servo skulls flew over one after another.
Either they crashed into the floating tactical drones, or activated the self-destruct program and died with them.
Without the tactical drone reconnaissance that they relied on to obtain battlefield information, the Fire Warrior Breaker team lost their boldness and recklessness.
Just as they wanted to regain control of nearby information, on their side, the Hell Sniper wearing dark blue power armor suddenly rushed out, holding a Hell Carbine and aiming at them.
The Fire Warrior Breaker standing on the right immediately responded, pointing his gun at the place where the figure flashed, but the Hell Sniper, who seized the initiative, reacted faster with the blessing of the power armor.
Louise, who took the lead, immediately pulled the trigger. A series of fierce high-energy rays instantly turned the Fire Warrior Breaker into a sieve. Black smoke was coming out of the orange-yellow combat armor, and there was a big burnt black hole on the head, and the damaged electrical sensor was sizzling.
