Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 40 39. Prominent line of defense

Kirstie looked at the old but tall alien in front of her, and took two deep puffs of the cigar hanging on her lips to embolden herself.After all, it was a bit scary to face an old man who looked weird, had purple skin, and was wearing ragged clothes.

Before the dwarf lord in front of him could speak, Zeratul leaned forward slightly, frightening Kirsti and taking two steps back.

"Ah, are you Commander Kirsti? I am Zeratul, the Dark Priest. You should have learned about our mission from Mr. Valrat, right?"

Kirsti was completely frightened now. After all, if you are a dwarf who is only 1 meters tall, facing a tall man of nearly 4 meters, and this tall man has two eyes. It stares at you with a strange green light, and speaks in a tone as if the abyss is talking to you, guaranteeing that you will turn around and run away in fear.

Kirstie calmed down for a while before nodding blankly.However, Zeratul did not notice that what he did frightened the other party, because in his opinion, he had already spoken more gently.

However, Zeratul did not intend to take everyone there. He left behind some Templars who voluntarily stayed, including some Immortals, Stalkers and even Dragon Knights.

The Immortal is a powerful tank-like unit piloted by a traumatized veteran.Although they have powerful and excellent functions to protect the safety of soldiers, some Templars will be physically disabled after the war. At this time, they will consider entering those war weapons specially prepared for their return to the battlefield. .The Immortal is one of them.

The Immortal has four huge mechanical claws to support its structure, and it also has two heavy plasma cannons that can easily tear through the armor of enemy tanks, whether it is the Nemanru tank of the Human Empire or the Burning Crystal of the Eldar. The armor of hover tanks will be completely evaporated in front of this kind of artillery with just one shot.When this 4-meter-high heavy armored weapon appears on the battlefield with its thick nano-shield, all that awaits his opponent is ruthless death and painful wails.

The same is true for the other two heavy armored vehicles, both of which are heroes who have decided to go to the battlefield again in order to be able to return to the battlefield to guard Damocles Bay.It's just that the positioning of the stalker and the dragon knight is somewhat different from that of the immortal.The Stalker is more like a harassment unit equipped with two tearing cannons that can penetrate the enemy's medium and light armored units, while the Dragon Knight is more like the Emperor Baneblade super heavy tank equipped in the Empire, each Dragoons are a formidable battalion-level army.

In fact, Imperial scholars have different opinions as to why the Templar's heavy armored units are so different from those equipped by other species in the galaxy.But the Kalai Protoss themselves understood the reason, because it was the sense of superiority from the Templars that made them intolerable or unable to believe the reality that they could no longer fight, so they tried their best to survive even if they themselves After completely losing combat effectiveness or even losing his body, he can still continue to fight.

So they not only have more advanced unmanned weapons operating platforms, such as the worm-shaped Predators, but also the Pure Ones Legion, which is powered by the immortal will of the fallen warriors.

After the space dwarves' position is supported by such a powerful group of armored troops, they may be able to hold on for a while longer.After the dwarves completely arranged their defense line, within an hour, the Great Devourer's attack came.When they began to attack, everyone on the planet discovered that the sky began to slowly change from the original light blue to a mixture of purple and red, and the Hive Mind began to slowly change the environment of the planet.

Soon, the air-dropped biopod that covered the sky began to hit the ground hard, and the space dwarves began to use all the anti-aircraft firepower at hand to fire at each other.Trillions of airborne pods were shattered by anti-aircraft fire, but many more survived the heavy fire and hit their targets.

Some airborne capsules directly hit the dwarves' air defense position, and by the time the bearded men on the position reacted, the terrifying enemy had already burst out of their capsules.

The first to appear were low-level creatures called knife bugs. Although they were very low in the hive consciousness, they were deadly to the dwarves.Whenever they used the two huge sharp blades on their front ends to slash at the dwarves, only those dwarves wearing external power armor could barely carry it down, and all the others were brutally killed.There were also some Tyranids with acid rifles in their hands. The Zerg sprayed deadly acid at the overwhelmed anti-aircraft gun crew members. They caused a large number of casualties and also destroyed a lot of anti-aircraft firepower.

Although this wave of attacks had a serious impact on the dwarf camps, it still could not change the fragile life structure of these creatures.Lasers and live ammunition can still kill them easily, and the dwarves react quickly after the initial confusion.But it was this short period of chaos that gave the Hive Mind a new opportunity.

The first batch of node creatures quickly filled in when there was a gap in anti-aircraft firepower. Low-end node creatures called warrior bugs came here.The arrival of the samurai bug is not just.It brought a group of more powerful warriors and had a huge impact on the entire battle.

If the previous knife bugs and acid rifle bugs were just a group of stragglers, then when the node creatures arrived, these stragglers were assigned low-level officers, and the original beasts were instantly organized Arise, become a well-trained legion.

Soon, the beast-like swarm quickly assembled and turned into a terrifying army. The situation on the frontline suddenly rose, and every position received a large number of attacks on average.What's even more worrying is that a damned insect that had disguised itself was mixed into the city at some point, and the front and rear of the battlefield became extremely chaotic in an instant.

But on this desperate and chaotic battlefield, there are still people who continue to fight.When the entire space dwarf position was retreating, there was still one fortress that was still holding on, and that was the Holstein Fortress defended by the Kalai Protoss.

The Hive Army has noticed this protrusion, and a large number of Tyranid war beasts are coming here.And the Protoss Guardians will never retreat, they will crush the Great Devourer's attack here.
