Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 465 06.0464: "The competition among peers is the most intense"

The Imperial Navy's boarding force caught the merchant ship, which was undergoing damage control, off guard.

Without the long-wave communication equipment on the bridge, the armed guards on the ship were unable to use the short-wave communications on their combat uniforms to contact the patrol fleet ten thousand kilometers away.

Father Latti's full-channel blocking interference seriously disrupted the enemy's internal communications.

"It's the Imperials! Take up covering positions! Quick! Quick! Ah!"

The Tau armed guards in combat armor were about to raise their guns in the corridor to block the enemies rushing into the ship when several of them were killed by fierce firepower and the rest were forced back into the bunker.

The Imperial Navy armed forces that rushed into the cabin advanced in turns.

Skitarii Rangers used galvanic weapons to suppress the armed guards in the open warehouse.

Their Akahan-pattern Galvanic Rifles and Galvanic Carbines are on par with the Pulse Rifles and Pulse Carbines used by the Tau ship guards.

Under the cover of the Skitarii Rangers, the Imperial Navy boarding teams, wearing finely crafted heavy armor, moved forward steadily with the cover of boarding shields.

Under the coordinated operation of the commander, the imperial army reached the warehouse corridor with only minor casualties.

Seeing that the friendly forces on the front cargo warehouse bridge were suppressed and were about to be wiped out by the boarding team members armed with shotguns.

A Tau assault team hiding at the side door of the cargo ship's deck prepared to attack from the side the Navy boarding team and the Mechanicus Skitarii who were firing suppressive fire at them.

Under the route guidance of a pathfinder team, two assault teams prepared for action.

Just as the leading Pathfinder team member was about to fire the first shot, a combat knife suddenly stabbed out from the corner and stabbed him in the face.

Before the rest of the team could fire back, the bang of bolt pistols suddenly filled the entire corridor.

Even though the Pathfinders' battle armor had advanced detection devices and their guns had marking devices, the Raven Guard monks who came from the Deathwatch clearly knew how to counter these equipment better than any of their previous enemies.

When the gunshots died down and the sound of bodies falling to the ground was heard, Brother Korchagin in black armor once again disappeared into the shadows and sneaked into the corridor leading to the power cabin.

The Imperial Navy boarding team sent troops to suppress the attack from the side and eliminate the flank threat.

"The enemies have discovered us!" the captain of the assault team shouted to his teammates nearby.

The assault squad armed with carbines was overwhelmed by the Navy's double-barreled pump-action shotguns in close combat firepower.

A servant warrior on the opposite corner poked his head and gun barrel out from the corner, trying to suppress the boarding team's advance, but just as his head and left shoulder poked out of the cover, the dense barrage of shotgun shells tore the left half of his upper body apart, and he died instantly.

Looking at the blood of his dead compatriots flowing all over the ground, the commando captain gritted his teeth.

"Request support from the Breakthrough Squad!"

Boom!Boom!
A squad of Fire Warriors armed with a shorter pulse weapon quickly arrived from the barracks.

With the assistance of tactical drone bees, they quickly arrived at the surrounded part of the Imperial Navy boarding team.

As the Breakthrough Captain's tactical arrangements began to be implemented, after losing a tactical drone used to provide vision, they took out photon grenades and threw them towards the corridor.

The blinding flash drew Horatio's attention to this part of the battle zone in his command field of view.

[Breaker team?]
He became alert. As a time traveler, he knew very well that the pulse incendiary guns in their hands were no mere fancy weapons.

Unlike the armed guards of the servant races, this is a regular squad of elite fire warriors from the Tau Empire. Each cargo ship has only a small number of such troops responsible for maintaining order.

Interestingly, just as the Imperial Navy boarding teams were called "Scavenger Breachers," these Fire Warrior Breachers armed with pulse incendiary guns have a similar positioning to the Imperial Navy boarding teams.

The pulse incendiary gun in his hand also uses a pump-driven design, but it is a real plasma weapon. Both its power and rate of fire are more fierce than the shotguns of the Imperial Navy boarding team. By outputting fierce saturated plasma strikes at close range, its firepower is even enough to penetrate the Astartes' ceramist power armor.

He immediately ordered the boarding team, whose eyes were blinded by the photon grenade, to retreat to the corridor entrance to seek cover.

But it is not easy to put it into practice.

The leading shield guard felt dizzy and had tinnitus in front of his eyes due to the photon grenade. Even the eyepieces that could shield against stellar radiation inevitably caused dizziness and double vision in the glare of the photon level.

Without waiting for the vanguard to retreat, the Fire Warrior Breaker Squad rushed forward.

The pulse incendiary gun in his hand opened fire instantly, and the plasma sprayed towards the boarding team members who were hastily retreating after their eyes were flashed.

In just a moment of impact, the sturdy boarding shield was burned and pierced by the dense plasma that was ejected.

Five Fire Warrior Breakers held pump-driven pulse incendiary guns and continuously sprayed at the entrance. After being continuously hit by plasma, the surface of the precision boarding shield was smashed to pieces and the shield body was broken.

The continuous plasma shot through the heavy armor of the boarding team members mercilessly, and the finely crafted void armor was like a piece of thin paper in front of the pulse weapon.

The shield guard fell to the ground, his tall body shot into a sieve by the dense plasma.

The wound on the dark blue void armor was charred black, and emitting sizzling black smoke from burning.

As for what the corpse looks like under the heavy armor, it's terrifying to think about it.

The surviving boarding team members in the rear retreated back to the hatch. Since they had not yet recovered from the flash of the photon grenade, they could only hide behind the cabin wall and fire their shotguns inside.

But just as he stuck his gun barrel out, he was marked by the marking ray of the tactical drone buzzing overhead.

The shotgun was extended but hadn't been fired yet, and the next second, a burning pain burned through the entire arm holding the gun.

"Ah! These damn aliens!" A boarding team member cursed with gritted teeth as he looked at his hands that were burned through the bones by plasma.

They no longer attempted to fire back, but chose to throw grenades inside. A tactical drone flew straight towards the grenade and accurately shot it down. The explosive, which lost its target, fell on the open space of the cargo ship and exploded, only damaging a silver container with rounded and neat lines on the side.

Just as the Fire Warrior Breaker Squad was preparing to rush out and break through the combat position of the Imperial Navy boarding team, the drone bees sent out for reconnaissance found that there were no people on both sides.

Just as the tactical drone bees were searching for the location of the enemy boarding team that had evacuated from the surrounding area, a terrifying servo skull rushed over.

boom!
Beep! Zila Zila!
The Tactical Drone was hit by the floating Servo Skull and its magnetic levitation structure was destroyed, and it fell to the ground.

Although the servo's skull was also missing a piece of bone and there were signs of bone fractures on the surface, it was still able to continue flying.

Soon, several servo skulls flew over one after another.

Either they crashed into the floating tactical drones, or activated the self-destruct program and perished together with them.

Without the tactical drone reconnaissance they relied on to obtain battlefield information, the Fire Warrior Breacher Squad lost their boldness and recklessness.

Just as they were trying to regain control of the surrounding information, a Hell Sniper wearing dark blue power armor suddenly rushed out from their side, aiming at them with a Hell Carbine.

The Fire Warrior Breaker standing on the right responded immediately, pointing his gun at the place where the figure appeared, but the Hell Soldier, who seized the initiative, reacted faster with the help of power armor.

Louise, who took the lead, immediately pulled the trigger. A series of fierce high-energy rays instantly turned the Fire Warrior Breaker into a sieve. Black smoke was coming out of the orange-yellow combat armor, and a large burnt black hole appeared on the head, and the damaged electrical sensors were sizzling.
