Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 525 513. Thrilling route forward

Under the command of the commander, the candidates for the expedition were quickly selected.

Twenty Odessa soldiers wearing standard exoskeletons will ride in three suspended Limbo infantry fighting vehicles to cover two tracked Kirin tanks. At the same time, there will also be five Kroot scouts wearing bulletproof armor. The soldiers move forward together.Finally, ten more commanders, escort members, and the commander himself rode on the Kunpeng gunboat and headed to the surface together.

The Kunpeng gunship is the largest individual unit that can be mobilized by Odessa's ground units. They belong to the land warfare system. Their appearance and overall structure are based on the Manta transport boat once designed by the Tau.Due to the nature of the Odessa troops, the Kalais seldom made special designs when arming them. Instead, they directly adopted the designs of their original race, modified them, and then put them into the battlefield again.

The Kunpeng gunship is equipped with six heavy plasma cannons on both sides of the fish. These heavy plasma cannons are enough to destroy small and medium-sized Titan units after a salvo.There are four missile launchers equipped under the cockpit, which can deal with lightly armored targets.The interior is enough to carry ten armored vehicles such as tanks, and then carry no less than 100 soldiers.

If necessary, heavier vehicles can also be suspended from the bottom pod, such as Zhurong super-heavy tanks, or even super-heavy weapons such as small Colossus.Or a larger-caliber artillery piece, including: 350 mm caliber destroyer naval gun, heavy gravity cannon, twin-mounted super-heavy plasma cannon, Gauss tearing weapon, etc.

It can be said that the Kunpeng gunboat is an aerial fortress suspended in the sky.

The commander led his team members into the belly of this behemoth. After everyone grasped the handrails, the Kunpeng gunboat immediately jumped out of the battleship's engine room.

"Defense drones are on the way, good luck, Commander."

On the bridge of the battleship, after the captain finished saying this, he watched the four drones split on both sides of the Kunpeng gunboat and watched them sail towards the planet in front of them.

Four drones protected the gunship, and as they approached the planet's orbit, the space station responded again.It was obvious that the approach of the engineering ship just now aroused his defensive instinct, but this time, he did not use the laser just now, probably because the aircraft was too small, and he did not think that anti-ship means were needed.

Within the visible range, the space station launched a large number of missiles. 15 missiles of unknown type, only half a meter long, traveled thousands of kilometers in less than two seconds, and flew straight towards the target at a fast speed. There is almost no way to be found on the radar, and it can only be captured by visual inspection through an optical sight.

"The enemy missile is found to be too fast. It is estimated that there is still three seconds to react!"

The pilot shouted hurriedly, and then immediately ordered the drone to launch interference bombs.After receiving the order, a drone immediately released a large amount of hot aluminum alloy smoke and small alloy blocks to attract the enemy.The opponent's 15 missiles hit about ten, and the remaining five were diluted by the interference signal released by another drone.

The people inside the Kunpeng gunboat looked at the smoke of the explosion behind them in horror. The powerful impact, even though it was dozens of kilometers away, still made the people inside feel what is called a push on the back.The driver looked at the terrifying power and muttered to himself in shock.

"Is this thing definitely an anti-aircraft missile?! It's almost as powerful as a light anti-ship missile!"

The aircraft pilot continued to operate the gunboat carefully after swearing angrily. It was obvious that they had to run farther away, or at least quickly get away from the enemy's attack range.But after seeing that its target had not been completely destroyed, the space station immediately started the next round of attacks.

Another 20 missiles only half a meter long flew towards them, and the remaining drones could only release all their coverings to ensure they could escape from the shooting range.And when this attack was also disintegrated, the space station launched more missiles without delay. "Just kidding, this is too much!!"

The driver of the Kunpeng gunboat looked at the number of missiles appearing on it and couldn't help but curse. The space station actually launched 60 missiles at once, and now he couldn't escape no matter how hard he tried.

"All drones begin to implement the final agreement! Prepare to activate the self-destruction program target to ensure that the Kunpeng transport aircraft reaches the ground!"

After receiving the final order, the drones left the formation without any hesitation. The four drones quickly flew towards the missiles. They would use the self-destruction program the moment they approached the missile group. Debris and hot air masses managed to destroy these missiles.

The four drones quickly flew towards the missile group, and detonated their nuclear fusion cores the moment the opponent came into contact with them, exploding into clouds of orange fire in space.At this time, the Kunpeng gunboat was finally about to enter the atmosphere, but there were still 12 missiles following closely behind them.Those missiles are like eyes. Unless they are destroyed, they will hit them soon.

The driver looked at these lingering things and could only open the last batch of jamming bombs originally used to break through the city's possible defense systems.As the angel wings spread out at the top of the atmosphere, the last batch of missiles were finally intercepted.

"boom!!!!"

The sound of this explosion can finally be heard, accompanied by violent energy waves and large and small fragments.The soundproofing equipment inside the Kunpeng gunboat was advanced enough, but many soldiers were still shaken to the point of pain in their eardrums. What was even more serious was that the fighter plane began to shake uncontrollably, and some soldiers even felt that the gunboat was about to disintegrate.

The commander finally couldn't sit still at this moment. She walked to the cab and asked the captain about the situation.The Kunpeng gunboat has a total of four pilots, and after hearing the commander’s question, the captain explained their current problem

"Although we intercepted the missile, one of our engines was hit by fragments and the left engine has stopped. We can only complete the landing now, and it is very difficult to take off."

At this point, he paused and gave a new suggestion
"Dear Commander, our gunboats are no longer able to provide air support. I suggest that we land near the city first and then consider how to move forward."

The commander is very clear about their current predicament. After all, the gunboat can only complete the landing and has no way to escape gravity again.

"There is no problem. The captain sent us to Area C east of the city. My troops and I will find a way to walk there."

Just like that, the swaying and smoking Kunpeng gunboat landed in the east of the huge domed city.
