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

Chapter 244: Unable to bear it, orbital bombardment!

Luo Xi had never dealt with enemies like the Savage Forest Elves. When an attack containing the great power of nature came, all he could do was activate all the pre-designed defense facilities to help all humans on the ground survive.

In times of crisis, the Space Marines under his command demonstrated their responsibility and commitment. The Trojan Librarian led the Ultramarines to rescue the mortal auxiliary forces that were trapped by collapsed equipment and buildings, braving the storm to save the lives of the accompanying mortals.

The Emperor created the Space Marines not to be sent into battle, but to use their best abilities to save mortal lives from natural disasters.

The Astartes are extremely adaptable in extreme environments. Their keen senses combined with the scanning system of their power armor allow them to easily detect mortals trapped in the ruins.

The enormous power provided by the power armor can push down obstacles with its own strength and dig out a way out before large equipment enters the scene.

The knight mechas that played the role of pioneering were curbing and clearing the primitive plants that were constantly invading. Some veterans held promethium flamethrowers and carried large promethium storage tanks on their backs, burning those hateful fungi that were difficult to kill.

The flame of refining promethium could not be extinguished by rain, and the Astartes adjusted the power to the highest without hesitation. The roaring fire dragon devoured all enemies who dared to invade in the rain.

Whether it was vines, plant branches, or ferocious fungi, they were all burned to ashes under the high temperature flames of promethium.

Being in the forward base, they don't have to worry about running out of fuel. The ore refinery in the base continuously collects biomass and underground resources to provide material support for the colonists.

The Tengu mechas were flying against the storm. The atmospheric airflow here was extremely chaotic, and the surging strong wind was enough to tear a Thunder Eagle gunboat into pieces.

However, the Chogoris people did not feel fear at all. Captain Gantula led his Tengu Brigade through the terrifying storm, like a giant eagle fearlessly fighting the sky on the Chogoris grassland.

The melta bombs and incendiary bombs carried in the belly of the Tengu mecha fell like raindrops, forming a striking isolation zone between the base and the primeval forest.

The exploding melta bomb released high temperatures caused by nuclear fusion, and any object it touched would turn into molten magma. The roots and tentacles of the giant plants that seemed to have intelligence shrank back almost instantly. They were unable to adapt to this terrifying and destructive weapon.

Qin Xin led his knight mecha troops to release firepower crazily. The dazzling plasma light balls pierced through the rain curtain and fell into the green hell.

The roar of the Vulcan cannon could not even suppress the loud noise of lightning. They just kept firing and firing. Anyway, any volley in any direction could attack a part of this macro-conceptual enemy.

"Damn it, if we hadn't come here in a hurry and hadn't brought those Titan machines with us, we wouldn't be in such a mess."

Luo Xi's room was also affected, but this extremely secure fortress withstood the blow of the natural disaster. His hair was just a little wet and messy, and he had a confused expression on his face.

Those wild elves didn't give in at all. If a human colonial force was stationed here after such a horrific natural disaster, they would have probably been completely destroyed and annihilated.

Without even noticing where the enemy is, the terrifying natural force can wipe out the invaders.

The power of nature is stronger than human power in most cases, but Luo Xi still has a card in his hand that he has not played.

"Low-Earth Orbit Cruiser Fleet, initiate precision strikes with light spears."

"Precision orbital strike is in place, the attack range is a 30-kilometer radius around the forward base."

"Let these damn Eldar see what firepower coverage is."

The strongest mobile firepower in the forward base is only the dozen or so knight mechas. They are indeed blocking the enemy's advance, but these plant lives have extremely strong defenses against long-range weapons. You have to know how tough those plants are, which makes the knight mechas that are exploring and clearing the way suffer.

However, these are just light firepower at best.

In the face of orbital bombardment, all are equal. The warships floating in orbit all turned their guns, their arrays of light spears drawing vast amounts of energy from their engine reactors. Guns large enough to accommodate the Knight mechs began to glow with a blinding light, and in an instant, a single ray of light illuminated the entire world.

It was endless light and heat. The light spear was originally a powerful energy weapon. This light-speed energy ray could easily melt the armor of a battleship and evaporate all organic life forms. It was one of the most common means of attack for the human empire.

The way for the battleship to defend against the light spears is to transfer the high-speed attacks to the void shield in the subspace, but there is no such thing as a void shield on Pandora.

For the Savage Eldar who had no orbital resistance capability, the cruiser fleet suspended in orbit was like a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. They could only passively take the beating and endure the bombardment of light spears.

Of course, Roche was also very careful in carrying out orbital bombing. After all, he and the colonists were still on the surface of the planet and could not let go and use full firepower.

His action was not intended to destroy the planet. If he had this purpose in mind from the beginning, he could have simply dropped an atmospheric incineration torpedo, and this colorful planet with life would have been burned to ashes after the atmosphere was ignited.

This is a counterattack, but also a warning.

At this moment, the warship in the space orbit has the intelligent computer on the Red Alert taken over the program. It is absolutely accurate and can fully maximize the precision characteristics of the light spear weapon.

One after another, pillars of light reached the sky and fell at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. They instantly hit the earth. The huge roar came from the evaporated surface. The high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees was enough to evaporate everything.

The soil and rocks on the ground instantly crystallized, forming a shimmering mineral similar to glass.

Under high temperatures, these minerals dissolve again and gather into rivers and lakes like magma.

The earth was shaking, and the huge "boom bang" sound seemed to be knocking on the heart of the planet. A mysterious wailing sound faintly came to Luo Xi's ears, as if an unknown existence had suffered serious trauma.

The light spears that landed one after another followed the predetermined trajectory and carried out a sweeping attack within a radius of thirty kilometers around the forward base. Everything disappeared, even the floating mountains floating in the sky and the towering trees hundreds of meters high, all disappeared in the dazzling light spears.

This is the terrifying power generated by ship-based weapons when attacking the ground. All land units are insignificant.

Not only that, the huge heat transmitted by the light spear completely disrupted the atmospheric circulation here. The rapidly heated air lost its original state and could not continue to destroy in the original tornado form.

Tornadoes are a stable meteorological disaster, but now that the atmosphere in this area has been completely disrupted, it is naturally impossible for such a natural disaster to form.

The rainwater accumulated on the ground was evaporated by the light and heat, and the hot water vapor rose to the sky, making the ground appear drier than ever before.

In the diffuse fog, the Knight Mechs marched forward, followed by the Space Marines, to the edge of the orbital bombardment.

All the enemies disappeared, leaving only one shocking hole after another, and crystalline minerals mixed with a large amount of impurities were still flowing.

Luo Xi proved with his actual actions that the Savage Eldar might be able to mobilize the power of this planet by some unknown means, but he proved that this power is not invincible. Under the coverage of human martial arts firepower, even the consciousness of the planet has to bow its head.

"The light spear array ceases fire and remains on standby."

Luo Xi was reluctant to let the warships open fire again. Not to mention the previous round of attacks, many floating mountains had been completely destroyed, and the black stones contained in them were naturally reduced to ashes.

These are all his treasures. Luo Xi, who has long regarded this planet as his own, cannot accept that his property is damaged.
