Chapter 569, Actions on the Ship

During the process of gathering, Martins looked around and analyzed the environment he was in.

The place they were in was like a restaurant, and there were certainly no enemies here at the moment.

Next to them, there were many spirits composed of storm power. They were "wearing" the uniforms of the Alliance Army and looked at him with reverence. When his eyes swept over, many heroes would spontaneously salute him.

It was a bit uncomfortable, but he nodded.

A hero officer came up to report that the estimated straight-line distance from this place to the mission target was 11 kilometers.

Of course, this is the straight-line distance, which was calculated by Gu Hang after he observed the location of the neuroprotozoa through psychic power. In the middle, you may have to go up seven floors, and there are twists and turns in the middle. I don’t know how many roads you have to go.

Gu Hang provided a specific route to the Phoenix through the hero officer. But it can only serve as a reference at most. Gu Hang couldn’t get a complete internal structure diagram of the Alfonzo II under great pressure from all aspects.

Not to mention that the enemy's force composition is also involved.

And the enemy's force deployment is still changing with the frontal battle situation.

The next thing, the eight companies of the Phoenix Regiment have to find a way to solve it by themselves.

But the only good news is that the heroic officer named Edward Lefort assured Martins that the team he led would act with the Space Marines.

Of course, this action does not mean fighting.

This is natural. There are 800 Space Marines here. No matter what battle they encounter, they don't need a dozen heroic spirits to help.

Their main task is to act as information transfer and provide intelligence support.

The intelligence here is not by themselves.

In fact, Gu Hang will allocate some psychic power to do this.

These heroic spirits are essentially the embodiment of Gu Hang's psychic power, equivalent to small psychic nodes. The power he extends can use these heroic spirits to explore the situation in a larger area around, providing the Space Marines with real-time map drawing, navigation, and enemy unit detection functions.

However, most of Gu Hang's strength was still in the fight against the neurozoa, and supporting hundreds of thousands of heroes, and fighting with the Skitarii on the main battlefield inside the ship. He did not have enough energy to take care of such a delicate matter as battlefield perception.

At the same time, if too much power was divided, it would be easy for Sage Dubo to detect it.

Therefore, the intelligence support that Gu Hang could provide was not too strong, the scope of exploration was not large enough, and the foreknowledge of the enemy would also be limited.

But Martins said that this was already very surprising.

Eight hundred Space Marines officially began to act.

They were divided into many independent but closely connected action teams, and quickly moved towards the target in the ship with complex terrain.

Martins felt that there was a very familiar feeling, and it was back.

In his past war career, especially in the Hundred Years of Atonement Expedition, they had dealt with similar situations too many times.

Going deep alone and raiding key targets... Isn't this what they do the most?

What's more, now they are not completely alone.

The voice of the Einherjar officer Lefort often sounded, guiding their actions; as they moved, the surrounding situation became clearer and clearer.

This is not the focus of the battlefield, and it is also a certain distance away from the core areas that the Skitarii focused on guarding. As long as you don't run to the enemy's reinforcement route to the front battlefield, you won't encounter a large number of enemies.

At most, it's just a small patrol.

If you encounter this, avoid it if you can.

If you can't avoid it, take action.

The think tanks and technical sergeants in the regiment will be the first to go.

Use psychic power or the jamming equipment carried by the technical sergeants to temporarily block the patrol team's communication facilities.

At the same time, the fiery red angels rushed out from the back, side, and even the visual blind spots of the corners with an irresistible posture.

Often, those patrol teams couldn't even shoot, and were hit in the face by the Phoenixes.

At this moment, the power sword and the combat blade became the ultimate weapon.

With superior numbers, they launched a close-range assault. The patrol team of the Crusader Army that was attacked was really killed without even being able to send a message.

The attempt to send a message to warn other teammates would also be intercepted by the think tank or technical sergeant in different ways.

In general, the Space Marines' actions were still very fast.

In addition, Gu Hang took the time to navigate in his busy schedule, and they did not take any detours. In a very short time, they rushed out a considerable distance.

Of course, it was impossible for everything to be so smooth along the way.

Putting aside other things, the disappearance of a large number of patrols is itself a very dangerous signal, and no one will easily ignore it.

In this regard, Gu Hang also made preparations.

The coordinates left in the officer's restaurant before were not wasted. Gu Hang's psychic power came out from it and deployed a group of heroic warriors.

After the Phoenix Space Marines left the area, they also began to act, deliberately exposing themselves to the patrols, pretending that the previously missing patrols were killed by the heroes who suddenly opened up another battlefield.

The Skitarii on the ship quickly responded and began to eliminate the heroes here.

They certainly couldn't hold on for long, but when Alfonzo's Skitarii looked at them and attacked them, their goal had actually been achieved.

However, the Skitarii commanders were not fools. They would probably react quickly. The few heroes they eliminated were not enough to annihilate so many patrols in terms of combat power and quantity. Not only did they leave no one alive, but they couldn't even get any news out.

Moreover, the Phoenixes' actions did not stop. There must be patrols that must be eliminated in areas far away from here. Their disappearance would also further alert the enemy.

Sooner or later, the Skitarii will become suspicious and guess that a powerful force must have arrived. They will expand the area where the patrol team disappeared and roughly judge what this force wants to do.

However, we can't just not do it because the enemy will find out sooner or later.

The longer the time of discovery can be delayed, the better.

In fact, they can't wait for the Skitarii commander to find the Phoenixes through the problem of the patrol team's disappearance.

Before that, the Phoenixes will face a problem that they must actively show up to solve.

The heroic officer Lefor reported to Martins that the stairs leading to the next level in front of them were the only way around. If they want to go up again and reach the level where the mission location is named "Protozoa Room" in their operation, this is the fastest.

If they don't go here, it will take a long time to take a detour, and the risks are unknown.

After all, they are getting closer and closer to the "Protozoa Room".

This is a huge and magnificent staircase with a width of about 40 meters. It is over 30 meters high, with many sculptures. At the end of the stairs, there are three arches, all covered with various reliefs, which is quite impressive.

This is not only an important node across multiple layers, but also has some religious and ritual functions on the ship. Braziers are arranged in the recessed part of the arch stone; there are also steel columns about one meter high on both sides of the staircase, with braziers on them.

In these braziers, it seems that some special incense is burning, which smells like motor oil.

Ordinary people don't think this smell is good, but motor oil guys must like it.

And here, the enemy is heavily guarded. No matter how much movement there is in other areas, the defenders of this arch have never been mobilized.

To be honest, the number of garrisons is not particularly large. The small squares behind the arch, on the stairs, and in front of the stairs look large, but after all, it is just a single area, and the guards are about 200.

But they are all elite mecha soldiers.

Each of them is over 2.5 meters tall, and the black and red paint is the consistent color of the Alfonzo sect.

This thing called "Death Slave Robot" should not be underestimated. According to the design specifications, the strength level of the entire set of automated machines outside this thing is designed and produced to match the Space Marine power armor.

Although it is estimated that it will not reach the level of the original after mass production, and the operator inside is just a modified robot servant with only half a brain and spine left, but they have indeed reached the level of Space Marines, driving the machine according to consciousness and instinct.

At least, they have the strength level equivalent to the Honor Guards of the Alliance Army.

This can no longer be taken lightly.

What's more, among this group of Death Slave Robots, there are some big guys.

For example, the upgraded version of the Death Slave Robot, the ‘Iron Hero Robot’ made to match the Terminator Power Armor;

The four-meter-tall, slender ‘Dragoon’, whose driver is an elite warrior among the Crusaders, holds a laser spear that is powerful enough to break the power armor with one shot;

The most outrageous are the twenty ‘Basilisk Robots’. Their heads are like mechanical skulls, and their entire bodies really look like giant steel snakes, half standing up. The seven or eight arms extending from the torso are each equipped with different weapons.

The first company to arrive here did not act rashly, but hid outside the corner of the passage a little further away, waiting for a company led by Martins to arrive.

Martins checked the situation on the scene through Lefort and thought that there was no need to wait any longer.

It would take time for more troops to gather, and even if there were more people, the total battlefield environment was so large that it would be difficult to deploy troops.

Then just do it.

The first to go up were still the think tanks and technical sergeants.

They tried to block the information.

But this time it failed.

Behind the triple arch, there seemed to be a powerful signal device. When the Phoenixes started, the signal device was disturbed and became unstable, but it was enough to attract the attention of the guards.

Several mechanical priests immediately started to repair it and began to report the situation here. At the same time, the entire guard group began to be alert.

Henrik Larsen, the director of the Phoenix Think Tank, reported to Martins in an awkward manner that they only needed one minute at most to cut off the communication between here and the outside world.

But Martins was determined not to wait even for this minute.

It was meaningless.

The enemy was already alert and had even reported the abnormal situation. If they waited any longer, they might just receive reinforcements from the enemy.

Fight as soon as possible.

At the command, the Phoenixes rushed out from the corner where they were hiding.

Of course, they would not rush out all at once, otherwise, in a narrow environment, a dense charge would be a blast.

The first wave of rushing out was only twelve Iron Cavalry Terminators.

They were two people in a row, more than six meters apart. The first three rows were not only equipped with micro-shield generators, but also held two-meter-high heavy shields in their hands.

There was a hole in the upper right corner of the shield to facilitate the muzzle of the grenade gun to extend out; the observation window could also protect their heads while allowing them to see the situation clearly.

The six Terminator warriors charged with giant shields, which of course attracted the attention of the defenders at the first time and were attacked by concentrated fire.

The enemy's firepower was quite fierce, especially the beams fired from the laser lances in the hands of the dragon riders and the lightning beams bursting from the hands of the basilisk mechas, which were particularly threatening.

Not to mention, the bolters in the hands of the death slave mechas were not weak eggs.

Without cover and nowhere to hide, they could only rely on giant shields and energy shields to withstand.

Such intensive and intense concentrated fire, even the Space Marines wearing the heaviest armor, carrying the heaviest shields, and energy shields could not withstand it.

Three heavy shield warriors fell one after another.

But in this process, the three rows of Phoenix warriors carrying rocket nests on their shoulders in the back also quickly fired all the reserved rockets, not seeking a hit rate, but only covering the enemy.

The coverage of the rockets was not enough to destroy the enemy, and even the number of injured was not particularly large. But it also slightly disrupted the enemy's concentrated fire, allowing the remaining three heavy shield warriors to crash into the enemy formation.

The heavy shield warrior threw down his bolter, held the shield in one hand, and pulled out a one-handed power hammer in the other hand, smashing the enemy in front of them.

Under their cover, the six Terminators who had thrown down their rocket nests and charged together also joined the battle with power swords in hand.

The next moment, light flashed in the enemy formation, and more than ten Terminators, under the power of the Phoenix Think Tank, teleported a short distance of about 200 meters and sent them to the rear of the enemy.

The Terminators holding power swords started killing, setting off a massacre frenzy among a pile of cold mechas.

Hundreds of Space Marines took advantage of the chaos in the formation of the mechas and could no longer be prepared for a fire blockade, and charged fiercely!
