Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 120 Noble Close Combat

The improvised time loop bomb showed excellent results.

The Ultramarines accurately killed those Undead Immortals who dared to show up. Although the Astartes reduced their efficiency in order to predict and avoid the enemy's Gauss rays, more and more Undead still fell on the battlefield.

Although their living metal can still heal, after suffering fatal injuries, they have lost the ability to revive through the rebirth protocol.

Space Marines are never afraid of tough enemies. As long as there is a way to kill them, these genetically modified warriors dare to fight even the legendary gods.

The tide of undead approached the edge of the camp, and the high walls made of rock and reinforced concrete could hardly block their powerful Gauss rays.

Luo Xi saw Nikonna's signal appear among the undead. This son of the Dark Raven had disappeared from the position at some point.

"This guy... is really too risky." Luo Xi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

There are more than just Immortals in the Undead army. Mixed in there are the Wild Scorpion Destroyers that were just shot dead by Nikona, as well as many more advanced Scarab Beetles that are like a swarm of insects, and some more advanced Tomb Spiders.

They destroy and disintegrate obstacles that block their way, paving the way for the Immortals to advance.

Additionally, these support classes seem to speed up the regeneration of Immortals, allowing them to handle more damage.

The roar of turbofans and the roar of engines could be heard above the battlefield, and several Ultramarines from the 199th Company stationed there flew low in their Thunderhawk gunships.

They used the twin heavy bolters mounted on the Thunderhawk gunships to block the advance of the Immortals in mid-air. These powerful and extremely accurate weapons blew up a large number of Undead.

The mechanical body was twisted and deformed, with black metal limbs and molten unknown parts scattered everywhere.

When the Necrons noticed the killing going on in the Thunderhawk gunship, they immediately dispatched a team of Immortals to carry out sniper suppression. The Thunderhawk gunship had to perform thrilling maneuvers in the air to avoid the attack of Gauss rays.

This created a great opportunity for Nikona Sharokhin to attack.

The Raven Son disappeared from everyone's sight. Even the electronic sensors of the Immortals could not capture his trace.

In the shadows, an Astartes warrior holding a power sword in both hands shuttled among the undead army.

He activated the jet pack installed on the back of his power armor and flew through the undead at an ultra-low altitude.

With his superb swordsmanship, he harvested the immortals holding double-barreled Gauss blasters. He had discovered their weakness: these Necrons had an absolute advantage in long-range firepower delivery, and their mechanical bodies and scanning systems made it extremely difficult for Gauss rays to miss.

But in close combat, this became a disadvantage. Although their Gauss weapons also carried metal axes with great lethality, their clumsy and crude close combat skills made Nikonna laugh in his heart.

With the support of the Star-type power armor, the power of the Space Marines can suppress the Immortals and even approach the Scorpion Destroyer.

Sharokin's power sword knocked aside a charging Scorpion Destroyer, and his power sword cut off a metal calf in the opponent's lower body. Then the crackling decomposition force field tore open the skull made of living metal on its head.

He was too close to the Undeads, and their lightning speed and agility made it impossible for them to aim their Gauss blasters at the Raven Guards.

These gauss blasters are too slender, but this becomes a weakness when it comes to close quarters combat.

Of course, this is a weakness when facing a Space Marine like Nikonna Sharokin, who is considered to be top-notch in both physical agility and skills.

The Warsmith let go of the first line of defense, and the Necromancer Immortals rushed into the camp through the collapsed gate, ready to kill.

At this time, the defenders in the camp had retreated to the second line of defense, and the trap set by Dantioch had come into play.

He used a plasma pistol to ignite the large promethium storage tank hidden behind the door. Instantly, a raging fire burst out, and the rising fire dragon rose to a height of more than 20 meters.

The high-temperature flames licked the ruins of the camp, burning all the Necrons that entered the trap.

Relying on the blasted and collapsed camp walls and buildings, the Space Marines dragged the enemy into more complex ruins to fight.

Armed with bolters loaded with time-looping warheads in one hand and power swords or chainswords in the other, the Astartes charged towards the Necrons with heavy steps. It was an extremely brutal close combat. While the Star-type power armor could withstand a few gauss beams, once the enemy's fire was concentrated, even the most heavily armored Astartes would not survive.

The time had come for the Space Marines' honed close combat skills to be put to good use. Hill led a group of soldiers from the 199th Company to engage in a close combat with the enemy.

Luo Xi was in the command room, observing the battlefield situation with the assistance of the intelligent computer.

"From the activation of Pharos to the resurrection of these metal skeletons, we have never known what these Necrons are going to do."

"If they just wanted to kill us, the uninvited guests who broke into their relics, they shouldn't have gone to so much trouble."

The gap in technology can only be revealed when the two sides are similar. If they are some primitive people, it may seem to them that the warring humans and Necrons are using technology that is comparable to magic.

Both sides shoot out fancy rays, and then one side will suddenly die.

But Roche is different. He can see where the Necrons' technology is so advanced.

Those Necron Immortals that appeared, or the scary-looking Destroyers, although powerful, are by no means the trump cards of this race.

Where are their vehicles? Where are their mobile land batteries? Not even the Necrons' air forces have made an appearance.

Luo Xi sensed something strange. These metal skeletons only sent out some basic infantry units to join the battlefield, making this local encounter seem to be a back-and-forth battle.

"The commander we're dealing with doesn't seem to want to kill us quickly. The intensity of this war is not at all in line with their technological level."

Just as this thought came to his mind, a being completely different from other Necrons appeared at the end of Roxi's sight.

A special individual, whose body is the color of antique silver, with some special symbols and words inlaid on its surface.

It has a cloak made of living metal dragging behind it, and its delicate skull is engraved with some copper-green fractal patterns. It holds an extremely eye-catching staff emitting a faint green luster in its hand, giving it an extremely noble demeanor.

With just one glance, Roxi felt that this guy was definitely not the same species as those Necrons fighting desperately on the battlefield.

They are civilians, professional soldiers, and bloodthirsty killers.

And this Necron is a noble, a continuation of that ancient race.

Luo Xi's eyes met the other party's for a moment, and he immediately realized that the undead was also looking at him.

"Oops!"

Luo Xi cried out in his heart that something was wrong, but in his sight, the individual who was suspected to be a Necron noble had already stepped into a pocket dimension that was flashing with a faint green light.

Where did it go?

The intelligent brain failed to scan the other party's existence. The race that can use pocket dimensions to move is not something that AI can easily capture.

But the next moment, Luo Xi heard the crisp sound of metal hitting the ground behind him.

It's here!
Before he could call his guards, Luo Xi felt a cold staff pressed against his waist. A static-like touch came from that piece of skin, making him shudder.

"Hey, little guy, I've caught you."

"game over."

The Necromancer spoke High Gothic. Roxi was surprised that this metal skeleton could communicate with humans, and he raised his hands with great confidence.

Although he had experienced death and resurrection several times in his long life thanks to his immortal physique, he was unwilling to taste death unless it was absolutely necessary.
