Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 605 06.0604: "Completely Invisible Enemy"

"Damn it! The sound array is destroyed!" Louise's face was full of anger and anxiety, and she punched the horn-shaped sound array hard.

Just now, a silver-white shrapnel pierced into the Thinker's core of the sound array. The sound array device emitted a shrill electromagnetic scream at that time and was now in a state of semi-paralysis.

The encounter broke out extremely suddenly, catching everyone off guard.

Five minutes ago, Louise and her team were leading the team in controlling the corridor below the command bridge. There was a tense atmosphere here, the lights were dim and flickering, and the reflections on the metal walls added a bit of gloom.

At this moment, a swarm of small missiles swung out from the end of the corridor like a whip.

The leading scout had no time to react and was blown to pieces in an instant, with his body parts scattered all over the ground.

The next second, both sides opened fire almost at the same time. The intensity of the firefight between the elite troops was unprecedentedly fierce. The blue and red beams of light intertwined into a deadly fire network in the straight corridor.

"Lieutenant Louise, the boarding team will set off in two minutes! They must not board the ship from the original direction. There are elite aliens wearing combat uniforms there. The moment they get out of the assault boat, there will only be a massacre!"

Valina crouched down and slid nimbly to the back of the hydroponic plant table where Louise was.

The heat dissipation vent of the plasma gun in her hand made a crackling sound, and the scarlet energy storage coil indicated that the weapon was on the verge of overload and needed to be cooled.

"Sergeant, have the other teams reconnect and contact the Epic to change the preset boarding point." Louise looked solemn and gave orders quickly, her eyes revealing determination and calmness.

"All sound arrays are encountering strong electromagnetic interference. Our wireless communication equipment is unusable. This group of combat uniform commandos are well prepared." Valina frowned, her face full of worry.

"Send a messenger to report this news to the captain. He has an astropath with him." Louise said calmly.

A scout input the command certificate issued by the lieutenant with his arm, and kept a close eye on the enemy's movements.

Taking advantage of a gap in the fire, the scout crouched down, made a breakthrough posture, and rushed in the direction he came from.

The moment he rushed out of the bunker, the Gatling ion beam powered by the automatic identification system swept towards his direction. The ion beam was like dense lightning, chasing him relentlessly with deadly threats, leaving a series of charred pits behind his running footsteps.

The scout slid into the next cabin, moving as swiftly as a cheetah.

The missile that followed exploded right in front of him, with such a huge impact that he fell to the ground. The missile fragments scraped across the power armor, making a teeth-grinding sound.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war and the military situation is urgent.

After the explosion, the scout immediately got up from the ground with a push-up and rushed to the next corridor again.

Just when he was about to successfully escape from the combat zone, a dark blue fusion energy beam accurately hit his waist. The light of the fusion energy was particularly dazzling in the darkness.

In just a moment, his body was torn into pieces, with broken limbs and flesh scattered all over the ground, and blood staining the ground red.

Louise saw a life signal in the column of the tactical helmet turn gray. It was the messenger she sent out.

There was a flash of sadness and anger in her eyes, but then horror.

"There are enemies behind us!" she shouted, her voice echoing in the empty corridor.

She quickly left her original combat position and retreated into a cabin with clean and neat movements.

Louise looked behind vigilantly, but saw no trace of the enemy.

An eerie silence filled the cabin, the only sound being her rapid breathing.

[What happened? Where are the enemies?] Her heart was filled with doubts, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes revealed vigilance.

Just as she was thinking, a blue light suddenly appeared in a place where there was nothing before.

Jiong! Louise took a step back sharply, her movements were as fast as lightning.

The bright blue death invited a brush with her.

[What is this...?] Her eyes were full of surprise. She was sure and certain that she had not seen any trace of the enemy at the location she had just observed.

[Where did this shot come from? I read it right! It was a concentrated energy attack launched from that place where nothing exists!]
A reasonable guess came to her mind—optical stealth combat suit.

The thought sent a chill down her spine, because it meant the upcoming battle would be much more difficult.

Horatio led the two squads and the rescued loyalists and rushed to the scene of the encounter.

The E-110 and the E-96 before the modification used the same set of templates, so he could find the shortest path from one place to another without any guidance.

Empty thump! A heavy sound of footsteps came from the corner in front of him. The sound was like the drumbeats from hell, and every beat struck his heart.

Then the footsteps stopped immediately, and the entire space fell into an eerie silence.

He took a half-breath and paused, raising his hand and clenching his fist, his movements steady and powerful.

The troops following him at the rear immediately took up a defensive stance relying on the cabin. The team members' eyes revealed tension and vigilance, and they held their weapons tightly.

Horatio stuck to the corner, ready to lean forward to check the situation. His heartbeat quickened slightly, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes revealed concentration and vigilance.

Buzz! Swish!
A unique buzzing sound of a decomposition force field came from very close to his face, and Horatio's scalp instantly went numb. It was the warning of life instinct against impending danger. At a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to capture, he activated the power of the Iron Hand and raised the Holy Blood Chainsaw Sword to protect in front of him.

Ping! — The crisp sound of swords colliding echoed in the cabin, the sound was crisp and loud, and the fire burst out and splashed on his breastplate.

Horatio's iron hand had to use its maximum power to barely block the thundering blow, but he was relieved instead - because he recognized the opponent.

"Lord Tiberius?"

But the opponent did not immediately stop using his strength, and the chainsaw sword's teeth still needed to use all their strength to barely resist the claws of the power claws.

The matte-colored old claws were very close to his face. The opponent only needed to use a little force to pierce his helmet. He clenched his teeth, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"You are truly surprising me once again. If I am not mistaken, you are holding a historic Blood Angels Chainsword.

Few have the strength to lift a demigod chainsword, let alone wield it as you do."

"Thank you for your compliment. Can you put your claws down now?" Horatio gritted his teeth and said sternly, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Of course..." Tiberius's red eyes flickered.

"no!"

There was a hint of sadistic amusement in his voice.

hum!
His claws changed from pressing down to stabbing up. In the dim light of the decomposition stance, the ceiling above everyone's heads was torn apart like waste paper. The force was so great that the entire cabin shook slightly.

Crash! The huge claws instantly tore through some kind of carapace, tearing an egg-shaped mecha off from above its head.

The pipes torn apart by the power claws flashed with sparks of failure, making its stealth force field erratic.

It still maintained the posture of accumulating energy to attack downwards, obviously ready to attack everyone at any time.

"Be careful of these invisible eggs! Captain. They seriously hinder our progress and are almost everywhere!" Tiberius warned.

Looking at the wreckage on the ground, Horatio roughly determined the true identity of this strange creature from the fragments.

"Is this... an XV-25 stealth combat suit? It seems the Tau have spent a lot of money to obtain the information." His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed worry.

The XV-25 Stealth Combat Suit is a rare and limited-edition suit used by the elite Tau special forces. Each suit has the stealth capabilities of an elite Raven Guard and the combat power of a Terminator.

Before he could react, dense beams of concentrated energy came from all directions. These beams burst out from the empty air, and the attackers were completely invisible, as if they appeared out of thin air.

The beam of light cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound that made people shudder.

BANG! A heavy fall sounded from behind Horatio.

"The Rosenberg brothers!"

The Great White Shark, hit by the enemy from behind, fell to the ground, with black smoke coming out of its back and sizzling sounds of burning and roasting coming from the visible wounds.

Just one shot vaporized the monk's chest, burning a hole. Apparently, the sharks had no need to recover the gene-seed of this battle-brother.

"Be careful! Enter the cabin and find cover!" Tiberius ordered.

The rescued loyalist troops tried to defend the cabin until they saw the blasting beam directly burn the steel hatch they used as a shelter along with the people behind it.

"Careful, little one, we have to think of a new way.

Their cloaking devices are much more useful than the ones you can only install on large ships." Tiberius used his huge body to block Horatio and said sarcastically, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

The sharks behind him took advantage of Tieshan's position shield to fight back at the stealth combat suit, and the sound of weapons firing echoed in the passage.

Even so, Tiberius could only hide in the surrounding cabins after holding on for a while, otherwise the force field shield would soon be overloaded and collapse. Even if he was wearing a specially improved Terminator armor, facing the long-term accumulation of the energy burst beam directly, the final outcome would be the same as if he had to bear it with his body.

"Individual stealth devices require micro-energy fusion technology. We don't yet have individual combat uniforms that can match this equipment." Horatio frowned and said solemnly.

"Well, little guy, as a cat shark driving a stealth battleship to attack everywhere, what countermeasures do you have?

If you can't come up with a countermeasure, your important target may escape with the help of the alien.

Let me make it clear that we can do this job, but it will be at a different price.”

In fact, rather than extorting money from Horatio, Tiberius wanted to see what other tricks this mortal captain had.
