Chapter 571, Death 1,000 Meters
"We are still... still... still... 1000 meters away from the protozoan chamber..."
Lefort, who had been following Martins, spoke in a staccato voice.
Martins, who had just withdrawn from the frontline battle, stared at the heroic officer.
Facing his gaze, Lefort's face was a little anxious.
"I... we... were... disturbed. The governor's... information transmission... was not... acted as soon as possible."
At this point, he seemed to be electrified and twitched all over.
After a few seconds, he returned to normal and smiled bitterly at Martins: "The line is broken. I can't receive any information. I'm sorry."
"I understand." Martins nodded slightly.
He looked back to the front.
His fighting brothers just slaughtered a group of enemies who took the initiative to attack them.
And this has been the norm for a long time.
It is impossible to count how many enemies the regiment has eliminated on the road, but the enemies are like a tide. They can't be killed at all. Instead, they are increasing.
And they are becoming more and more elite.
After passing the triple arch, at first, it was just some ordinary elites of the Skitarii and the transformed servitors who came to block. But as they got closer to the protozoan room, the troops that came to block the Phoenix not only had a large number, but also a higher proportion of elites.
Until the latest wave, the quality of the troops had not only reached the level of the battle at the triple arch, but also was much larger in number, with a large number of conventional troops coordinating, making the Phoenixes very hard.
So far, there are less than 600 warriors left out of the 800 warriors who participated in the battle.
And among them, there are nearly 100 seriously injured soldiers who cannot move.
This is a big burden, but they still persist. Fifty combat brothers were specially assigned to protect and carry the seriously injured in the midst of the flying war - towing them with a small automatic troop carrier.
But anyway, they have arrived at the mission site.
The protozoan room is only one thousand meters away from them in a straight line, and they are now on the same floor.
Even looking over, you can see the tightly closed steel door.
However, what stood in front of them was also the most elite force.
As the leader of the entire Ark Fleet, Sage Dubo was of course extremely concerned about his own safety.
Not to mention, the cabin where the neurozoa were placed and imprisoned was also a key part of the ship.
The combination of the two made the Skitarii on the ship do their best to defend this place.
The venue was not large, and it was impossible to cram tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops here.
If the quantity could not be stacked up, then the quality would be stacked up.
The basilisk mechas were all fragile little characters here. The most eye-catching were the more than dozens of Colossus mechas arranged around the protozoa room. Each of them was about the same size as the Space Marines' dreadnoughts, holding thunder hammers and a large shield, and their combat capabilities should not be underestimated.
Under the powerful body power, even the Space Marines' Terminator Heavy Shield Warriors might not be able to withstand the heavy hammer of the Colossus.
And these Colossus mechas were just big and the most eye-catching.
In this group of defenders, the most powerful ones are the smaller ones.
Battle Priest, Thunder Priest, Iron Hero Robot - Handcrafted Super Elite Edition...
When Martins led the team to this place, the enemy took the initiative to attack them.
There was no probing, no entanglement or hesitation, and they were fighting head-on with absolute strength.
Fancy things won't work at this time. The space is narrow and the task is urgent. This is a strategic problem; the firepower carried by the Space Marines, no matter how strong and fierce it is, is not as strong as the top configuration of the group of oil men. Long-range bombardment is bound to lose.
Only by bearing casualties and shortening the battle distance to close combat can the effect be achieved.
The Phoenixes hope to use psychic teleportation, just like the previous attack on the triple arch, to directly send the most elite terminators into the enemy camp.
But this time, psychic teleportation failed.
Not unexpected.
The psychic communication between the Heroic Officer Lefort and Gu Hang was blocked, and it was natural that the psychic transmission was disturbed.
They could only charge hard.
The price was painful.
Even Martins himself rushed into the enemy camp after the small shield generator was broken.
However, when the two sides closed the distance, the battle finally turned to the side of the Space Marines.
The collective charge launched by hundreds of Space Marines, especially the absolute elite among the Space Marines, still disrupted the positions of the defenders.
Most of the long-range firepower could not play an effect.
Those Iron Hero Mechas, the mass-produced version is just a show, and they will be beaten in a real fight; the precision version can only fight against normal Terminator Space Marines at best.
But what they are facing now is not just some ordinary Space Marines?
The speed of the elite Phoenixes slaughtering these Iron Hero Mechas is still quite fast.
The Colossus, which could kill the Phoenixes, could not get rid of its inflexibility.
On the battlefield, many Colossus had already fallen.
The ones that fell the fastest were all targeted by the Phoenixes holding the phase swords.
Their extremely thick armor was like nothing under the phase sword.
Only the combat priests were more troublesome.
Combat priests were senior members of the Mechanicum who were at least above the level of mechanical priests, or even the level of engine prophets. They used all their technical capabilities to completely transform their bodies towards combat.
None of these real oilers were mass-produced goods, and there was no template. Each of them was very personalized and had a variety of abilities.
Some of them had their transformed bodies fully fired, and at close range they would ignore their own safety and friendly injuries and bombard desperately;
Some transformed themselves into almost pure energy bodies, with high-energy arcs flashing violently;
Some transformed themselves into super close-range killing machines. They lacked skills but made up for it with technology. Their eight legs allowed them to move flexibly in any direction; the surrounding multiple cutting and hammering weapons did not require any skills, as long as they got close enough, they could cause damage.
Some even have multiple abilities at the same time...
That is, energy shields can't play any role in close combat, otherwise they don't lack them at all.
To be honest, these things are what really caused the biggest trouble.
The Phoenix fell into a difficult battle.
But Martins, the commander of the chapter, can't take care of the overall battle situation.
An elite team, led by him, rushed straight to the steel gate.
