Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 506 06.0505: ‘The muzzle of the ‘allies’’

The Epic’s front ridge is also designed with a passage leading to the bridge.

“Captain, this is the torpedo officer Fideo. I am acting as the commander. At present, everything is normal on the bridge and there is no emergency.” The cheerful short blond young lieutenant sat in his seat and reported to Captain Horatio.

“I remind you Fideo that you have the command of the battleship guard. If any alien dares to invade the bridge, then ruthlessly crush their attempts.”

“Of course, Captain.”

The order of ‘all personnel aboard’ is certainly not to be understood literally, to take everyone on the ship away.

There are still officers and warrant officers on duty on the bridge to guard various departments of the bridge to deal with emergencies.

And there is a red navy infantry recruited from the Vegas area of ​​Abyss Port to guard.

——This group of guards is the last barrier of the bridge, and they will not be transferred away from the bridge under any circumstances.

The soldiers of the Marine Infantry Guard will live and die with the bridge, and only hold this position. Any other place has nothing to do with them.

But Lati promised Horatio that 'if any Kroot sneaks into his bridge and desecrates his command throne, she will apologize to him with all her heart. '

Although I don't know why Lati is so confident, and why she made such a strange military order. He didn't even say anything yet, just hoping that Lati could let the Skitarii cooperate with the Battleship Guard to intercept the Kroot attacking the bridge, and wait for him to lead the team back to fight a beautiful annihilation battle, that's all.

But since she said so, Horatio was relieved to hand over most of the defense tasks to her.

When the Kroot heading towards the bridge rushed to the bottom of the bridge and prepared to take the elevator to invade.

A small thing blocked them.

"Tactical drone bee?" The Kroot stopped and looked at each other.

The tactical drone bee beeped and circled leisurely in the air, as if to show that it was going to lead the way.

This familiar little thing finally boosted the mood of the invading Kroot.

"Could it be that the Fire Warrior allies have successfully infiltrated this ship?" This conjecture made the Kroot shaman leading the team very excited.

The appearance of friendly units inside the Imperial warship was incomparably friendly to the Kroot, even if they were blue guys who always curbed their nature in the name of supervision.

The shaman immediately raised his staff and signaled the follow-up troops to follow the drone.

The tactical drone bee beeped and flew forward.

It flew above, and the Kroot followed behind.

After circling for an unknown distance, they finally came to a relatively open area.

"So, little guy, where are our Fire Warrior allies?" The shaman was a little confused and raised his hand to signal his men to stop and stop following.

The tactical drone beeped. Soon, around the corner, an XV8 Crisis Battlesuit came out.

The Kroot Shaman smacked his beak with satisfaction, his tense heart relaxed, and he put his doubts behind him.

——Even if the Imperials could somehow control the tactical drone bees that they kept their distance from, they would not be able to control the XV8 Crisis Battlesuit.

The Kroot Shaman saluted the XV8 Crisis Battlesuit.

"Dear allies, you are finally here." He greeted in the official language of the Tau Empire, which he was more proficient in but with a strange accent.

"It seems that you are so smart that you have already sneaked into the Imperials' new warship first."

The red square head of the XV8 Crisis Battlesuit nodded, and the built-in speaker said: "Although this warship is small, its design is very clever and can be called an engineering masterpiece. Seizing it will bring great advantages."

A large group of tactical drone bees carrying plasma carbines flew from all corners and assembled in the venue.

Although it was a bit strange not to see other Tau fire warriors wearing combat armor, the Tau's combat methods are flexible and varied, especially the troops in the commerce-breaking fleet, which are even more unconventional.

Perhaps it is because too many people are easy to be detected, so only the elite wearing combat uniforms were sent. Being able to control so many drones, it can be seen that this driver must be extraordinary.

No matter what strange scene appears, the cunning Kroot Shaman, who is good at guessing the enemy's mind, can always find a reasonable reason to convince himself.

"Allies, let's attack the bridge together. With so many troops, I believe we can kill the Imperial bridge defenders by surprise and make them flee!"

The square head of the XV8 'Crisis' combat suit began to shake his head again, and the speaker said: "I'm afraid it won't work. The situation is worse than you think."

In fact, this "head" is not a real head, but a lens placed on the top of the combat suit. The nodding and shaking movements are to lock the targets in front of him one by one.

After distributing all the target attack signals to the surrounding tactical drone swarms floating in the air, the XV8 'Crisis' combat suit stepped forward, and the weapons on his arms began to charge quietly.

The Kroot Shaman was unaware of the deadly threat in front of him and still asked: "Why do you say that?"

"You have been fooled, and you don't realize it."

"Who fooled us?"

"Me." The built-in voice generator of the combat suit said without emotion.

The duration of the conversation was very good. As soon as the voice fell, the ion cannon had just finished charging. The surging rotor fired an ion beam with a very high firing rate, instantly sweeping down the aliens in front of it like mowing the grass.

The surrounding tactical drones had already surrounded the entire group of Kroots. The ion carbines hanging below them fired at these aliens mercilessly, sharing the task with the combat suits in order to annihilate the enemy in the shortest time.

The entire battle on the front ridge could not be called a back-and-forth battle at all. It was clearly a bloody automated slaughter.

The battle ended quickly. The number of tactical drone swarms was large enough and the firepower was fierce enough. The burnt bodies of the Kroots were piled on the gray-black cold deck, forming a soft but disgusting carpet.

"How could it be..." The Kroot shaman whose abdomen was pierced by an ion beam fell to the ground, covering his wound, trying to push back the intestines that flowed out after the burn hole.

The intestines were filled with the flesh and blood of the dead and were being digested.

"Who are you...?"

The XV8 'Crisis' combat suit remained silent this time.

It raised its "Titanium Orange" metal foot and stepped on the alien.

This was its response with action - "Died Alien!"

--

Behind the Kroot, Horatio led an elite vanguard to the docking station.

More than four platoons of troops, nearly 600 elite boarding team members, suddenly came from behind the siege defense platoon and launched a beautiful surprise attack.

Those Kroot who tried to climb up were highlighted by Horatio through the command hand, and they were shot down one after another as a row of pulse explosion guns fired in unison.

"Captain, you are finally here." Leidos's two prosthetic iron hands were stained with blood, some of which were his and some of the Kroot's orange mucus.

Seeing the captain, he wiped the blood and sweat from his head and said with a breath.

"Good job, Leidos, have all the Kroots gone in?"

"Yes, sorry, we failed to hold the gate."

Horatio's iron hand pushed open the cylinder of the bolt pistol with the automatic loading device installed by Lati, and the ejector automatically pushed out the empty smoking shell and filled it with a new bolt.

"No, you did a good job." Horatio looked at the bodies that fell all the way from the docking station, and his tone turned cold: "Now, we just need to close the door and beat the dog."
