From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 313: Close Combat: Cui "Slashes"

puff--!
Chi——!
The Covenant infantry without energy shields were all blown up and shattered by artillery shells of various types and calibers.

Those Gollums who were forced to fight, and the soldier bees who had low IQs and accepted the queen's will, could only be described as "living consumables" used to fill the lines.

The jackals, who were crafty and brutal by nature, relied on the ruins as cover, and the Grunts and soldier bees at the front acted as human walls, and accurately fired at the clone soldiers with poor protection.

Moreover, most of them are equipped with energy shields to withstand small-caliber attacks.

Whoosh—whoosh—!
At this moment, several Jackals wearing goggles used beam sniper rifles to lock onto an Ultramarines and several clone soldiers beside the Ultramarines.

Buzz~!

The high-energy light beam emitting lavender and pink light was reflected by the magnetic field and bounced into the air before it came into contact with the Titanium Armor of the Extreme Warrior.

However, the clone soldiers' armor cannot withstand high-energy beams.

Phew——!
The next second after several clones were hit by the beam sniper, their bodies were pierced directly.

but
"Uh, medic!"

“I need treatment!”

"Provide cover!"

However, after the light beam pierced through the left chest and abdomen of several clones, which are vital areas for ordinary people, they did not fall to the ground immediately.

They even let out nasal roars and quickly rolled on the ground, trying to avoid the Jackals' secondary sniping attacks.

The medical clones with white armbands on their left arms and the heavy-armored clones wearing heavy mechanical skeletons immediately rushed to the front of the injured teammates to provide covering shooting.

Ri~TingTing! ! !

The heavily armored clones' 14mm rotating Gauss cannon fired blue tracer bullets across the open space between the two sides, pouring a large number of spike bullets in the direction of the Covenant forces.

Squeak—crack—!
The spike bullets were among the best in terms of penetration and armor-piercing capabilities, and they directly tore apart a large number of Covenant infantry.

Even the energy shield of the Jackal cannot withstand the 14mm spike bullets.

As for the injured clones, they are receiving simple treatment from the medical clones.

I saw two medical clones. After checking the wound, they took out a white sprinkler and sprayed a small amount of biological foam towards the wound.

Then, he took out an injection with a biochemical mark from the storage bag and injected the lavender medicine into the body of the injured clone through the wound.

Wait a moment.

"Click!"

The wounded clones who were originally lying on the ground moved their necks, shoulders and other joints, and immediately stood up and returned to the battle.

Moreover, their movement speed and reaction seemed to be further enhanced, and their positions became more aggressive, following the six Extreme Warriors to charge towards the Covenant positions.

In fact, this is equivalent to their "last gasp".

No matter which generation of clones, there is no such thing as pain.

In other words, unless they are completely dismembered or shot in the head, it is impossible to completely stop their activities.

So the two clone soldiers who were hit in the head by the high-energy beam fell to the ground and died immediately.

The wounded clones chose to hide and "recuperate", but not to save their lives like humans, but to burn up the last drop of "oil".

The overall data of the latest clones is similar to that of Atlas' early re-engineered soldiers.

They are fearless and have a certain level of intelligence. They can perform specific tasks independently and have stronger physical fitness than ordinary people.

After being penetrated in the chest and abdomen, they judge that their own physiological functions are damaged and need simple treatment and corresponding "adrenaline" to overload themselves to fight.

After all, like the equipment on them, the cost of repair and treatment is greater than the cost of consumption and recycling.

Therefore, once they suffer a fatal blow, they are ready to completely confirm their role as cannon fodder and eliminate the enemy as much as possible.

At this time, take a bird's-eye view from above;
Six Ultramarines rushed to the front, followed by more than two hundred clone soldiers.

The Titan main battle tanks and Cyclops mechas covered the flanks and provided continuous suppressive fire on the Covenant positions.

At the same time, two more Ultramarines, a Blood Angels squad, and corresponding AECS, clones, and armored units joined the battle.

There are also numerous ODST teams on the high-rise buildings on the edge of the city, providing coordinates for their motherships and conducting naval artillery strikes.

After a while.

Whoosh-whoosh-!
The 400mm upward-pointing plasma naval gun dropped from the sky and landed directly on the Covenant's armored forces.

Boom. Boom——! !

Violent explosions and blue flames mixed with electric currents spread across the rear of the Covenant position.

At this moment, the Extreme Warriors armed with bolt guns and plasma cannons also successfully broke into the enemy camp.

"Die! Alien!"

"For humanity! For glory!"

If you get closer, you can hear the battle cry, which has a metallic sound due to the helmet.

Like most Astartes squads, the Ultramarines are composed of four riflemen, including the captain, and two machine gunners.

Two machine gunners are at the end of the squad, providing fire support to the squad.

The four riflemen rushed to the forefront, and with their right index fingers firmly pulled the trigger, they poured bolt bullets at all the Covenant infantry within sight.

The most important point is that as a minority of adult Astartes, they have a wide variety of bolter ammunition available to them.

For example, there are Viper Bolts that are loaded with strong acid and are highly effective against enemy infantry, and Storm Bolts that contain multiple small metal hydrogen projectiles.

Therefore, the Covenant infantry who were attacked by the variant bolter shells, especially the venomous snake bolter shells, died in a very tragic way.

Bang~——hiss!

After hitting a Jackal, the Viper Bolt quickly released a thick green acid mist, making a unique sound that corroded armor and flesh.

"what!!"

"No"

The Gollums and Jackals in the thick fog let out miserable screams due to the corrosion of strong acid, which echoed throughout the battlefield.

"Ho! Roar"

Even the tall and strong Jiralhanae, in its haste to escape the thick fog, had its fur and muscle tissue begin to fall off after a few angry roars.

In just a few seconds, all the Jiralhanae and Covenant infantry within the fog were transformed into turbid flesh and blood tissue and seeped into the soil.

The Covenant infantrymen who were hit by the storm bolts died peacefully. At least they did not have to suffer the "skinning and bone removal" of a living being. Before they died, they only felt endless "warmth" and did not even have time to let out a miserable roar.

Judging from the fact that the Extreme Marines broke into the enemy camp and had a certain degree of advantage, the ground battle that broke out on this planet did not seem as fierce as imagined.

But as they continued to move forward, they encountered increasing resistance.
"Roar--!"

Suddenly, a group of Jiralhanae, over three meters tall, armed with huge hammers and well-armored, appeared on the right side of the Extreme Warriors.

Although they had already discovered the enemy when the group of Jiralhanae appeared, the number of Covenant infantry was large.

Guys like the Soldier Bee are willing to stand in front of the bolter and plasma cannon to buy time for the group of Jiralhanae and Ultramarines to shorten the distance.

Also.

Buzz! Buzz—.Ding! Bang—!
The Titanium Armor's magnetic field deflection device was unable to rebound the extremely dense plasma bombs and fuel cannons, so the Titanium Armor began to suffer direct attacks.

Fortunately, the Titanium Armor model of the adult Extreme Marines is the mass-produced Titanium III, and the shoulder armor on both sides is equipped with energy shield generators similar to those of the Werewolves.

Can assist adult Astartes, effectively increasing their survival rate on the battlefield.

Although the power of the shield generator is far inferior to the Primarch's exclusive power armor or the Terminator power armor that is still in the experimental stage, it is still more than enough to resist individual soldiers and small-caliber artillery.

And when the shield generator is overloaded, as long as the Titanium III's power backpack is not damaged, the built-in cold fusion reactor can charge the shield generator.

The six extreme warriors now rely on the protection of the Titanium III power armor to charge forward so "unscrupulously".

Of course, the power armor only had some paint peeling and burn marks.

In addition, it is also closely related to the nano suits with metal flow layers that can "squeeze" ordinary people to death, and their own reaction speed.

Clang, clang, crack!
Roar--!
But as the four extreme riflemen's bolter rifles emptied their magazines one after another, and the group of high-level Jiralhanae were approaching, their situation began to take a turn for the worse.

Seeing this, the two machine gunners continued to provide cover and paid special attention to the group of Jiralhanae.

The four riflemen also tacitly put away their bolter rifles and picked up their chainswords and power swords, preparing to engage in close combat.

"Roar!"

In the blink of an eye, a larger, higher-level ghost-faced beast that arrived first immediately smashed towards Captain Extreme.

But after Captain Extreme charged his power sword, he slightly turned sideways and dodged the hammer blow.

boom--!
The power hammer combined with the strength of the high-level ghost face beast actually blasted a shallow pit on the ground where Captain Extreme had just stood.

Mud and debris were scattered everywhere.

While the high-level Jiralhanae was about to raise its power hammer to continue attacking him, Captain Extreme grasped the power armor with both hands, turned around at a faster speed, used the force, and slashed at the opponent's left rib.

Bang-!
The energy shield could not withstand the power of the power sword and the plasma force field emitting a faint blue light.

Chi——!
The upper body of the high-level Jiralhanae was directly cut off by Captain Extreme.

At the same time, the other three Extreme Warriors also used their chainswords to easily deal with the Jiralhanae, which were taller and stronger than them.

However, the high-level Jiraiyas were like crazy, completely ignoring the casualties of their teammates, and continued to rush forward to encircle and suppress them.

Some of the Jiralhanae stared with their scarlet eyes and roared loudly:

"If they kill one, we'll win! If they kill two, it's worth it!"

Words like "This is our last chance to prove our worth to our God and gain glory! No retreat!!"

Listening to the content and combining it with the current situation of the Covenant Empire, it is not difficult to analyze that the Prophets are once again using their most sophisticated deception to instigate the Jiralhanae, which already lack intelligence, to continue to "selflessly dedicate" their lives and souls.

However, if even the current planets and galaxies are lost, the Prophet and the Jiralhanae leaders will indeed be unable to recover.

So the words roared by the ghost-faced beast have their reasons.

now.

Nearly a hundred high-level Jiralhanae surrounded and attacked the four Extreme Warriors without regard for their own safety.

Countless Covenant infantry were also desperately assisting the high-level Jiralhanae to try to stop the Ultramarines machine gunners, clone soldiers and follow-up troops.

Because the two sides have been fighting for more than a year, they know that the Astartes are an important fighting force of the Human Elite Alliance and are few in number.

If they could inflict heavy damage on the Astartes, there would be hope of holding on to the galaxy, and even buying some much-needed breathing time.

The two extreme teams and one Blood Angel team that arrived here, seeing their brothers being besieged, quickened their pace and prepared to lend a helping hand.

The four extreme warriors who were in the core area of ​​the enemy couldn't care less. They only thought about how to get rid of the debris in front of them.

Om-!
Pfft——!
Bah——!
As soon as the Ultramarines and the high-level Jiralhanae officially started the battle, the battlefield was literally filled with blood and gore.

Broken limbs, thick mist of blood, various still-beating organs, and twitching tissues filled the area where the two sides were fighting.

You have to know that the elites of the Halo universe, the Brutes, and even the seemingly weak races like the Grunts, their true strength is equivalent to the legendary difficulty of the Halo game.

The individual soldier's energy shield is ridiculously thick, and his gun accuracy and close combat skills are also quite proficient.

The Master Chief, controlled by the player, has incredible luck, and with the strength of the Spartan-II, he is able to kill his way through the Halo universe.

Moreover, the Spartan II was not invincible, and many Spartan II warriors died in the siege of hunters and Jiralhanae.

The four extreme warriors are now under tremendous pressure.

Relying on the Astartes' proper reaction, strength and speed, as well as his own experience, he was able to handle it with ease at the beginning.

But when the leader of this high-level Jiralhanae appeared and cooperated with his subordinates, they besieged the Extreme Captain and sneered:
"Little thing, it is your honor to die at the hands of me, Atriox."

"Ha! Bastards!"

Captain Extreme, who had escaped the siege, spoke with disdain.

But just as he finished speaking, he wanted to repeat his old trick and turned to cut the Jiralhanae's ribs, but...
With a buzzing sound, the Extreme Captain's attack was blocked.

It turned out that Atriox actually responded in time, using the hammer head of the power hammer in his hand to barely withstand the attack of the power sword.

At this moment, the two high-level ghost-faced beasts who were responsible for assisting rushed to hammer the Extreme Captain's back.

Bang-!
The energy shield overloaded and failed, the Titanium III power armor was also damaged, and the helmet was even bounced off, revealing the Extreme Captain's handsome true appearance.

"Pfft!"

However, the captain of the Extreme Team, who took two hammer blows, vomited blood uncontrollably and fell forward to the ground.

"Heh! Die, little thing!"

Seeing that there was finally a chance to kill the adult Astartes, Atreox raised his power hammer without any hesitation, ready to smash it into the captain's head with all his might.

But just as Atriox was about to take action.
Boom—boom—!
Six airdrop pods streaked across the sky and crashed into the area with almost no deceleration.
