Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"Stand back bro, it's going to be hot..."

．．．Hot melt explosion．．．

The melta bombs that were effective against most armored units still worked here. Several melta bombs exploded at the same time, melting the thick metal door and opening a gap large enough for the two primarchs to pass through.

After Corax and Omega entered, what appeared before them was a huge high-precision device and a rotating staircase.

"The control panel of the main control core is up there," Omega said as he flipped through the information. "As long as we can shut it down, our fleet can land on this planet unhindered."

"Then let's finish this mission as soon as possible..."

Suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded in the room where the two primarchs were, and red lights flashed above their heads.

[Warning! The core area has been invaded by an unknown person! Release the 'Final Defense']

A ball of liquid with a metallic luster oozed out from the ground. The two Primarchs immediately took out long-range weapons to attack it. Several bombs exploded on the silver liquid.

The ball of silver liquid with a metallic luster was blown into pieces by the bomb, but soon the scattered liquid began to gather again and turned into a silver humanoid being in front of the two primarchs.

"Liquid metal robot." Omega said as he looked at the enemy twisting in front of him like a slime. "I thought that thing was just a movie."

"At least we didn't encounter time machines and nano-swarm robots that would cause time and space paradoxes." Corax said. "It seems that we have something similar over there..."

The liquid metal robot in front of them did not give the two primarchs too much time to communicate. His body suddenly exploded in the next second, and several sharp spikes attacked them.

The two Primarchs dodged this large-scale attack and continued to fire at the enemy with their bolters, breaking up their forms once again, but they soon reorganized and attacked Coraxsi, who was closest to them, like flowing water.

"Switch to thermal energy weapons!"

Relying on the storage equipment bought from the [City], the two Primarchs carried a variety of weapons to deal with various situations. Omega took out the promethium flamethrower and pulled the trigger. The hot flame attacked the pool of flowing liquid. The opponent was indeed afraid of high temperatures and dispersed his body to avoid the incoming flames.

At this moment, Corax also took out a flamethrower and aimed it at the scattered liquid metal. The flame was enough to melt the metal body of the Necrons, and it quickly burned the scattered liquid metal into a molten state.

"'Final defense'? That's it?" Corax taunted as he looked at the motionless metal liquid.

However, the next moment after he taunted, more silver liquid with a metallic luster oozed out from the ground and surrounded the two Primarchs.

"You really are... a jinx."

552. New product display

At the beginning of the construction of this shining world, it attracted many sieges from warlords from marginal worlds. Because it had not been fully constructed and the enemy had several times more troops, there were also cases where the enemy's special forces fought their way to the main control tower.

Then, the opponent was submerged in the attack of liquid metal robots like a tide.

This fluid-like high-tech robot can effectively deal with a variety of physical attacks. Its almost immune to physical attacks also makes it the nemesis of special invasion forces - there shouldn't be any special forces or agents who carry flamethrowers or incendiary bombs when infiltrating, right? Bringing a bottle of acid is considered an amazing idea.

Although the enemy forces had destroyed the main control center for various reasons, making the movements of these liquid metal robots rigid and their attack methods relatively simple, they were still a dangerous existence.

With the help of space equipment, Corax and Omega did not have the problem of not having suitable weapons to deal with the special enemies in front of them, but there was another problem - there were too many enemies.

As mentioned above, the number of enemies here is like a tide. When designing this place, the idea was to let this liquid metal robot fill the entire tower room, serving as guards and all-round repairmen without blind spots.

Because of the previous attack, the factory that produced this kind of robot was destroyed, the main control center was also damaged, and the people who knew what to do died afterwards, which resulted in the failure of completing the plan. But even so, there are still a lot of liquid metal robots here - enough to lay a two-meter thick metal 'carpet' on the ground.

Acid, high temperature, low temperature and magnetism can all effectively destroy this liquid metal robot, but there are too many of them, like waves, and the weapons in the hands of the two Primarchs are simply unable to deal with so many.

boom!

Another melta grenade exploded, melting a large area of ​​the silver liquid, but more soon arrived, attacking the two Primarchs from all sides.

"Take out everything you have! Otherwise you won't stand a chance!"

"You don't need to tell me!"

Omega threw out a can of promethium fuel, and then detonated it with the grenade launcher in his hand. A large amount of flames splashed out, causing a group of liquid metal robots to scatter, and also cleared a place for Corax and Omega to stay.

Then, Omega took out a large weapon with a snake head logo, aimed at the enemy in front of him and pulled the trigger, and a black and red beam of light shot out.

The metal liquid, like waves, was hit by the light beam and then froze in place. A grayish-white color spread out from the hit position.

Fossilized weapons. This type of weapon can clearly no longer be considered a technological creation, because it involves changes in basic substances. Even carbon and diamonds with the same atomic structure require various conditions to convert into each other. However, this type of fossilized weapon can directly turn all substances into silicon dioxide/calcium carbonate (stone).

The petrification weapon used by Omega is a second-generation product, which further improves the efficiency of petrification and reduces the energy required, but its driving core is still the scales and snake hair normally dropped by the Gorgon, and the Mechanicus is unable to replace it at this stage.

The current situation clearly exceeded the records in the database of these liquid metal robots, so much so that after they sensed that a large number of individuals had gone offline because they had turned into stone, they did not choose to separate the petrified parts in time but instead stood there until a large area was completely petrified.

The wave-shaped stone sculpture looked very abrupt in the entire room, and the other liquid metal robots around it that were separated in time and not affected also obviously experienced a brief outage afterwards. They could not understand what was happening.

"Corax! Fly up!"

The enemy's brief pause gave the two Primarchs a chance. Corax once again transformed into countless crows and flew towards the main control center in the air. The surrounding liquid metal robots then reacted and tried to form a dome to intercept Corax who was flying into the sky.

Soon, he broke through the enemy's blockade and came to a huge circular metal platform. In the middle of the ring was a huge precision mechanical device with a clear gap.

After landing, Corax walked towards a huge computer not far away without much pause, but the next second a huge gravity hit him.

Corax could clearly feel his bones screaming the moment gravity hit him, and he was pinned to the ground, unable to move.

【Error! Error! Error!】

【Enemy spotted, calling... Error!】

[Activate, activate defense device, call... Error! ]

[Machine is damaged, some functions are offline, time record... Error! ]

Various mechanical error sounds rang out in front of Corax. It was obvious that the supercomputer in front of him was still damaged, but even so, it still had powerful capabilities, enough to control the entire planet.

At this time, Corax tried to hold his breath and stand up again, but the moment he stood up, the gravity on his body immediately increased and pressed him back down.

[Gravity system gravity increased, calculation... error! ]

It's just a damaged shining world, but it has such technological and defensive capabilities, and this is based on the fact that there is already certain information and preliminary calculations and estimates.

The range of Omega's activities downstairs is further reduced. After witnessing the power of petrification weapons, those liquid metal robots choose to use the petrified parts as shields to resist this weapon that cannot be understood and analyzed, and launch attacks on the enemy from multiple directions at the same time.

Corax, who had finally reached the top, was now unable to move because of the gravity trap, and he could feel that the gravity on him was getting stronger and stronger.

However, the next moment, the lights in the entire main control tower suddenly dimmed, and the main control computer that had been reporting continuously also issued a new report.

[Enemy invasion alert, reactor number 3 shut down! ]

Energy supply drops by 30%

【Switch to standby...】

Corax was liberated at this moment. He immediately rushed to the huge computer in front of him at the fastest speed in his life and violently inserted a huge plug-in in his hand into it.

【The main console is under attack! Calling...】

【Electronic intrusion alarm! Activating...】

null--!

Before the alarm was finished, the entire main control center went dark and was forced to shut down.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" Corax panted. "If this so-called 'forced shutdown' code is wrong, I will definitely go to those oil guys for trouble."

After saying that, Corax turned on the communication device, and Curze's communication came through.

"You're timely."

"Be careful not to destroy the reactor. We also need to use it."

"Meet up in the city, we have other tasks to do."

[If you succeed up there, come down and help me! These things are still hitting me! ] (Omega)

"immediately..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The automatic patrol fleet that was engaged in a fierce battle with the Imperial fleet suddenly froze for a moment, and then they were subjected to a massive fire attack.

The surviving automated fleets also behaved somewhat rigidly afterwards, not as flexible as before.

Afterwards, O'Neill and Guilliman received news that the ground embed had successfully shut down the main control center temporarily, and they could start a full-scale invasion.

"Order all ships to charge into the battlefield!"

A shrill alarm sounded on the automatic ships, and hundreds of imperial ships leapt to the battlefield, suppressing the local fleet on the battlefield almost instantly.

An automated ship factory that had long been elusive was quickly neutralized and occupied by several Space Marine barges and the Mechanicus boarding.

Without the overall management and command of the main control center, these automated factories and ships are unable to cope with the current situation well and can only fight the enemy rigidly and old-fashionedly according to the set procedures.

The battle in space and orbit was almost one-sided, and soon the landing operation on the ground began.

A large number of landing capsules descended and cleared the landing site, followed by large and small carrier aircraft that broke through the atmosphere, transporting troops in batches.

The ground orbital defense facilities, the reactors that provide power to the entire city, and the automatic factories on the ground are all the primary targets of attack and occupation of the Human Empire. As O'Neill said before, what he needs is a complete shining world, not a post-war ruin.

Groups of small Titans moved forward slowly, followed by large numbers of Astra Militarum soldiers, and in front of them were groups of automatic mechanical guards.

The two sides immediately began a fierce exchange of fire, with the sounds of artillery and gunfire continuing so loudly that they could be heard even in the city.

In the direction of the city, a transport ship broke through the anti-aircraft firepower and came directly above the city, and several humanoid mechanical beings fell from the sky.

The third generation of SPARK robots (purely mechanical/intelligently controlled legionnaires)

The defenders and [Axis Security] troops who came to inquire were attacked fiercely by the landing party as soon as they arrived. Almost everyone was armed with a heavy machine gun, and there were also SPARK robots with mortar functions. With their absolute firepower, they suppressed all the enemies in front of them.

Soon after, the second and third waves of reinforcements landed, along with an unknown mechanical device that looked like a door.

Whoosh—boom!

An electromagnetic armor-piercing shell accurately hit a SPARK robot whose shield was overloaded, and the sniper had no time to be happy before several plasma cannons exploded around him.

The huge [Fortress] machine tried to use its thick armor and powerful firepower to break through the Empire's defenses from the front, but it was soon silenced by the missile firepower of a landed [Polaris]-class Titan.

The goals of both sides are very clear. The Empire needs to defend for a sufficient period of time until the portal is built, and the defenders of this city need to eliminate the enemies in front of them as soon as possible and disrupt their plans. But as it stands now, the situation is in favor of the Human Empire.

Finally, the heavy armed forces of [Axis Security] wearing heavy power armor and holding heavy weapons appeared on the battlefield. The thick power armor and the protection of multiple [Polaris Shield Belts] made them like a mobile fortress, clearing the SPARK robot troops in front of them, and for a time suppressed the Dreadnought that destroyed the [Fortress] machinery.

Just when they could see the unknown mechanical device that looked like a door, a white light suddenly appeared in front of them, followed by the sound of a grenade launcher firing.

The Primarch of the First Legion [Dark Angels] - Lion El'Jonson.

"For humanity! For the Empire! Take this planet!"

553. O'Neill: You! Disloyal!

Is there anything more terrifying than having a large number of enemy soldiers invade your own occupied territory?

Answer: The enemy opened a portal in its own occupied area.

With the portal construction technology acquired from the Doom world, combined with related technologies from the Warhammer world itself, as well as a series of related technologies obtained from other worlds, the Human Empire now has an experimental portal that can transport personnel between galaxies, and there have been certain breakthroughs in cross-world teleportation technology - although when an apple was sent over, only half a burnt apple was received, but at least it got through.

The portal that opened in the Glittering World city sent a large number of Dark Angels Legion Space Marines directly to the core location, along with some large armaments, such as dreadnoughts, small Titans, and tanks.

This is the advantage of the portal technology brought by the Doom world. You should know that when attacking the hell capital of Jacard, even battleships and Titans could be teleported over, and all at once.

The appearance of a large number of [Dark Angels] Space Marines caught [Axis Security] and the Glittering World's automatic machinery off guard. The initial attacking force was defeated soon after, and the entire army began to move towards the main control tower, further expanding the Empire's control range.

At this moment, the residents of the Glittering World finally realized that this was not a simple pirate attack or warlord attack like before, but a war, a war that could sweep across the entire Glittering World.

"Hurry, hurry! We need to control all the transportation hubs around here immediately!" Ryan, who finally got his fill of being a 'Warmaster', ordered his heirs. "I need you to open up the traffic outside the city immediately and occupy all the automated factories, fortresses and reactor stations around here!"

"What? You're blocked by a group of private armed forces and modified animals?! Shame on you! Figure out a way out!"

"Speed ​​up the process! My two brothers have already started a party at someone else's hometown!"

But it is obvious that this mission is not that easy. Even though the enemy's main control center has been temporarily shut down, the remaining enemies are still not easy to deal with.

The Space Marines and Astra Militarum that landed outside the city to deal with the artillery positions, reactor stations and automated factories reported encounters with large enemy automated units. Someone awakened a large number of [Trampler] robots that were originally used to level the ground and open up the mountains.

The battle within the city was not going smoothly either. The residents of the Glittering World used various weapons, genetically modified animals, and a large number of automatic machines to fight against the invading imperial forces in their own ways. At the same time, various fixed defense devices were also activated one by one.

Obviously, when the city was built, it was planned that the main control center might go offline, and a backup plan was left for it.

Indeed, as the fleet of the Human Empire occupied the orbit of the planet and more and more troops were sent to the ground, it was only a matter of time before the defense of this shining world was completely breached, but how long would it take?

What O'Neill needs is a complete shining world, which means that the human empire cannot establish its advantage through orbital bombardment, but can only advance on the ground little by little.

Although the supercomputers that control the entire Glittering World are now offline, they still have quite good organization and aggressiveness thanks to their own program settings.

Groups of automatic machines, with the main control tower as the center, blocked the attack of the imperial troops. Moreover, the empire not only needed to guard against the automatic machines in front of them, but also had to be careful of the different security teams and various high-tech equipment that ordinary people had in their homes - it was like guarding against tanks driving out of residential buildings.

In this way, the offensive led by the Dark Angels Space Marines has not achieved significant results. In this case, Ryan asked the ships in orbit to launch a precise orbital strike on the designated area to break the current deadlock.

Guilliman, who was coordinating the overall situation in orbit, responded to Lion's request and said that he would immediately begin preparing for the quasi-orbital strike he needed. However, at this time, bad news came.

The main control center has restarted.
