Chapter 162 154. The siege
was densely packed with endless dead spirits.
On the originally distant yellow-red wasteland, there was no trace of earthy yellow at this moment.
All undead.
Undead warriors, scarab swarms, and destroyer troops. Under the lord's call, they are rushing towards the rear quickly.
In a simple trench behind a hill, Hades' scalp was numb. The footage from the Iron Warrior Stormbird showed that in less than ten minutes, the first wave of Necron returning to defense was about to enter the structure casting building. South of the group.
Now the Death Guard and Iron Warriors forces are trying to break into the complex from the north.
Since the Necrons awakened from the underground, these strange and strange black stone buildings have risen from the depths of the planet. The geometric shapes stand at random heights, and the bright green lines outline the symbol of the dynasty to which Gathros belongs.
In the central area of the city composed of black stone geometry, the pyramid-shaped fortress is swallowing undead soldiers outwards -
it is the structural casting body of the undead that executes the resurrection protocol.
In the center of the fortress, a towering stepped black pyramid stands proudly, with green stripes pouring down from the top like a waterfall.
What worries Hades is that judging from the aerial reaction picture, the interior of this structure structure group lacks corresponding heavy fire defense. The heavy fire turrets that the Death Guard can currently detect have all been set up in the city. On the outer wall.
Undead warriors are emerging from the structural casting body in a steady stream and marching out towards the north of the city.
There is a constant stream of life and death. Even if they die, they will crawl out again in the structure behind them. These soldiers are the cheapest combat power of the lord.
But these vast numbers of soldiers are not their real threat.
For the Death Guard and Iron Warriors, what will really hinder their siege are the city walls and the heavy fire cannons on the walls -
enlarged versions of Gauss weapons, which are more powerful than the Gauss guns in the hands of the Necron. Enough to defeat the defenses of Space Marine power armor and cause the Space Marines to collapse at the atomic level.
The good news is that they also have response weapons. Along with the drop pod, there are also the Iron Warriors' artillery.
But it is far from enough to rely on artillery that is far smaller in number than the enemy's to counter the heavy firepower cannons set up by the Necrons on the city walls.
Hades looked across, about two thousand meters away, but it was filled with undead troops.
They cannot be held back, as once they are held back, the artillery fire from the opposite side will hit them.
The first batch of attacking warriors will rush up the city wall and eliminate the enemy's artillery operators, providing an opportunity for the main force behind.
They need to pass this distance as quickly as possible, enter the building complex, destroy key buildings, and help the terrain to deal with the next main enemy force.
[It seems we need a speed attack team. 】
Hades said that
in the face of the enemy's Gaussian weapons, the high mobility of the Space Marines will be the key to their survival.
But what made him feel a little uneasy was that neither the Death Guard nor the Iron Warriors were legions that were good at this. One of them was a legion that was good at slowly advancing a stable front line, and the other was a legion that was good at building military fortresses. If the partner was the White Scars
. , or some other legion. That would be fine.
Dantioch beside him nodded at him, interrupted Hades' thinking, and signaled Hades that he was ready.
There was no time to hesitate about tactics. Hades took a deep breath, then opened the full communication channel,
[Everyone, listen up! 】
【In daily training, the top 30% of people in the sprint event are ranked! Team of two! ]
[Remember, your mission is to reach the fortress on the opposite side and destroy the enemy's artillerymen! Remember, don’t let your enemies hold you back! ]
[The queue cannot be concentrated, keep spreading out,]
[Always be careful of the artillery on the opposite side! 】
Hades looked at the Iron Warriors behind the queue who were controlling the artillery. They had already begun to dig trenches to cover the artillery and began to measure the coordinates of the heavy firepower on the opposite side.
Well, no need to remind the artillerymen, they are all conscious.
Hades turned back and stared at the battlefield in front of him. He picked up the obituary and took a stance.
【.I'll be with you. 】
Dantioch's voice came from the channel, and Hades was stunned, but he did plan to break out alone.
[No, you are in charge of the main force. 】
Hades said,
【There must be a commander left. ]
Dantioch, who was opposite him, said no more.
When the time is right, a phrase familiar to every Death Guard came over the channel -
[Attack. 】
Hades was the first to rush out. Compared to the Death Guard, who often advanced slowly on the front line, Hades often experienced highly mobile battles.
Like cold water falling into hot oil, the dense undead troops exploded directly, and Gauss lasers and Tesla lasers filled the entire sky.
On top of the fortress, when they saw the enemy emerging, the artillery pieces also turned their direction. After receiving the order, they began to aim.
Hades felt like he was running in a sea of undead, and every step was accompanied by the sound of broken metal. He swore that he had not stepped on the earth.
Don't stop.
Don't stop!
Countless undead warriors stretched out their hands at the soles of his feet, as if they wanted to drag Hades into the metal abyss. The Gaussian rays on the fortress rushed towards him, exploding around Hades, and immediately stirred up black dust. Those were the corpses of Necrons decomposed by their own weapons.
The alarm bell rang loudly in Hades's mind. According to his previous analysis, he shouldn't be facing undead with this density anyway, right? !
It was like, it was like all the dead souls on the battlefield were rushing towards him!
But at this moment, any moment of hesitation would lead to disaster, and a pause would mean that artillery fire from the opposite side would come. Hades had to maintain his speed and forcefully use brute force to open a path to the structure.
The scythe opened and closed, and the scream of metal cut through the sky. At this moment, there was no trace of skill. Facing the densely packed undead and forcibly building up low-level troops, violence was the best pass.
However, outside of Hades, Dantioch in the trench was observing the situation on the battlefield with his mouth open.
To everyone's surprise, most of the undead in the entire battlefield were trying to surge towards Hades. Only a few undead tried to attack the first batch of charging Death Guards, but these undead soon followed the Death Guards. He bowed his head under the sickle.
Compared to Hades, who was running at the front and was obviously going crazy, everyone else was more or less aware that something was wrong.
The Death Guards who charged towards the Hades construct began to consciously clean up the Necron.
Dantioch also realized this, and he began to direct some gunners to bomb the area near Hades, and the density of the undead far exceeding the rest of the locations provided an excellent opportunity for their bombardment.
Seeing that the first batch of Death Guards at the front (mainly Hades) were about to arrive at the wall of the Hades structure, Dantioch also issued an order and prepared to lead the main force to march.
Hades controlled his pace, speeding up, and speeding up again. The undead warriors coming over could not keep up with Hades' speed. He was like a pebble speeding across the water, creating ripples behind him. .
The black wall is getting closer and closer, here it is!
Hades jumped directly and threw his scythe at the same time. The scythe blade of Obituary hooked tightly on the bump above the city wall. Hades grabbed the chain that was spread out at the back end of the scythe pole and climbed onto the city wall in one stride. !
Behind Hades, the other Death Guards threw out their scythes and began scaling the wall.
Hades, who had climbed onto the city wall, moved his target towards the heavy fire cannons. The ordinary Necrons were no match for Hades, and the number of Necron troops on the city wall was far less than that of the Necrons below the city. It also made Hades feel as if he had entered an uninhabited land for a moment. The explosions sounded and the undead fell in response!
The Death Guards who climbed up the city wall also began their encirclement and suppression. The Necron artillery bombardment was obviously weakened, which was even more convenient for the second batch of charging Space Marines.
After realizing that he had greatly reduced the number of enemy artillery, Hades lowered his eyes, as if searching for something.
Finally, Hades found what he wanted in a place that was obviously different from other forts.
right here.
Hades thought as he ordered the Seiko backpack on his back to place the melta bomb, and at the same time directed the Death Guards to leave the area.
After two short explosions, a gap was revealed in the Necron wall for them to enter.
It’s done.
Hades thought to himself as he turned back and watched the mixed force of Iron Warriors and Death Guard sweeping a passage through the sea of undead.
Dantioch stared at the bombed structure in front of him that had changed beyond recognition, and fell into deep thought.
Since the main force entered the northern building complex, Hades has led a small group of Death Guards to plant bombs in every corner. With only a small amount of explosives, these magnificent buildings will fall down with a cry.
The fallen black stone buildings isolated a defensive zone for them in the north of the city.
He wanted to ask Hades why he could find the weak points of these buildings in the first place, but he swallowed the words again. This was not a good question.
So the commander of the Iron Warriors watched Hades speeding through various buildings like a fish in water, planting bombs.
Since Hades directly blasted through the resurrection structure on the opposite side, they were not under great pressure at the moment. The team composed of Death Guard and Iron Warriors fought with the undead in the jungle of Blackstone. After losing the ability to resurrect, The last advantage of these low-level undead was gone.
Seeing Hades blowing up at least a quarter of the building, Dantioch tried to contact Perturabo, wanting to ask about the attack on the ground and trying to support the sky, but unfortunately, at this moment, Perturabo and Mortarion was concentrating on dealing with the Necron fleet, and the Primarch paid no attention to him.
[You can start laying out the defense queue. ]
[At the same time, let the air force prepare to support us. ]
Hades's voice came from the channel, and the Death Guard decisively handed over the matter of "defense" to the Iron Warriors who were more professional in this matter.
On the other hand, Hades didn't feel so good.
Ever since he entered this city built of black stone, he could vaguely feel that the black stone here was vibrating and humming.
What exactly is going on?
But he couldn't care less, and Hades continued to direct the Death Guards to plant explosives while observing the battle situation.
As Hades expected, the fleet in space was indeed unable to contact. After realizing the speed of the Necron, he hoped that the Death Guard could at least escape the Necron ship. But as long as the
Iron Warriors can hold it back Necron ships, then according to the path, the Death Guards can escape.
Hades thought to himself, while continuing to place the bomb -
he jumped back!
A green light that was more dazzling than the undead cannon almost rubbed the side of Hades and splashed onto the building.
Hades quickly turned his head, only to see that the Necron figure had disappeared into the black stone building.
It's the mark of death!
Deathmarks are Necron snipers, but the Lords do not like to deploy these soldiers because the placement of Deathmarks "brings them shame".
But at this moment Hades only realized one thing!
If a death mark appears on the battlefield, it proves that the lord in this tomb has awakened! ! !
Damn it? !
Wasn't it agreed that the Necrons were sleeping so deeply that they generally couldn't wake up the nobles in the tombs? !
As if echoing Hades' thoughts, on the pyramid in the center of the city, an alien that was much taller than the other undead emerged from the top of the tower, overlooking Hades and his party.
"Can you dodge it? Yes."
Gaseros said.
Before the lord finished speaking, a laser flashed through and directly penetrated an Iron Warrior!
That death mark has changed its target!
[Watch out for snipers. ]
Hades shouted in the communication channel,
"I was still expecting what kind of existence you would be."
Gaseros continued, it was holding a battle scythe, and the heavy energy stance was running well inside, and at the same time it was not Hastily descended from its perch.
Some Space Marines tried to shoot at the Overlord, but not surprisingly, they were stopped by the Necron shields.
Every time Gaseros speaks a word, a laser will shine from the building complex, and the death mark faithfully executes the lord's orders.
Even if the Space Marines deliberately dodge, the Death Mark's sniper fire still makes it difficult for the soldiers to parry, and the cold gun temporarily interrupts the rhythm of the Space Marines.
"But it seems like it's just a trick played by low-level creatures."
"Is it your own existence, soulless person?" "
No, it's not like that."
But it doesn't matter, you'll know if you catch it, Gaseros said casually thought.
It's so boring, why don't it talk to its brother again.
"I'm willing to give you a fight, lowly creature." "
If you have any tricks up your sleeve, use them as best you can." "
If I'm interested in you, maybe I can let you live intact until you die. Time."
When Lord Gaseros walked to the last step, the main force of the Necrons also revealed a corner of the city from the south.
