Warhammer 40: Doom

Chapter 182 Equal Strength

Space Marines, creations of the Emperor. Superhuman warriors used by the Lord of Mankind to conquer the galaxy.

Their heroic figures, clad in terracotta power armor and wielding powered weapons, are the most inspiring symbol of fearlessness.

The black-armored warriors stood in front of the mortals, using their towering figures to block the terrifying aliens and buy the mortals a chance to shoot.

Using the shield generator, Ran Dan approached the human positions and used the most primitive hand-to-hand combat to crush the human lines.

Humans are nothing but fragile individuals, mere livestock bestowed upon Ran Dan by the Milky Way.

And the Space Marines stepped up! They unleashed humanity's fury upon the aliens.

The First Legion Skyguards, the original Space Marines, fearsome and terrifying warriors.

He remained completely unmoved when facing Ran Dan's elite warriors.

They were just aliens, lowly biological forms, and they had wiped out countless aliens.

The legion's soldiers moved swiftly, charging like lightning, their terracotta armor clanging as it rubbed against each other.

Right in front of the human front, soldiers faced soldiers, generals faced generals.

The humans, enslaved by Ran Dan, surged towards the auxiliary army's position like a tidal wave, only to be stopped by a black wall.

The First Legion warriors, as the oldest legion, are permitted by the Emperor to use forbidden weapons, and their standard armaments are even more luxurious.

Force field shields are readily available, and everyone carries a powered weapon.

They are Space Marines, and mortals can no longer shake their majesty, as fragile flesh and blood collide with steel chariots.

With millisecond-level reaction speed and rapid body movements, the power armor follows their actions and increases its output.

On the battlefield where bombs, lasers, and plasmas flew, Space Marines wielded their weapons to meet the first wave of attack.

"Waaaaaah~" The mind-controlled human's face turned frenzied, his eyes bloodshot with excitement, and he couldn't wait to use the blade in his hand to kill the enemy.

"Uh..." The fanaticism of the human servants was right before our eyes; their madness was written all over their faces.

With a flash of sword light, he fell to the ground before he could even scream.

In an instant, ten thousand corpses fell before the Imperial lines, and the screams ceased abruptly.

A thousand Crown Heavenly Army soldiers killed an enemy ten times their size at close range in less than a second.

The power sword, wreathed in disintegrating lightning, and the power hammer, flashing and shattering thunder, crushed the charging crowd in a single exchange.

"Hoo!" The soldiers of the First Legion were never impulsive. They carefully calculated the battle line and took a step back after killing the cannon fodder troops.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, advancing and retreating as if they were a single person.

"Drink!" They charged forward again, swarming the humans who rushed at them, then retreated a second later.

In the mere advance and retreat, enemy corpses piled up more than a meter high at the edge of the Void Shield.

The mechanical instructors stepped forward and turned on the promethium burner.

They spewed high-temperature flames from the gaps in the Space Marine ranks, burning both the enemies and their corpses to avoid interfering with their firing range.

Before the battle line lay a sea of ​​fire, two high walls that no living being could cross.

The walls, ignited by promethium at high temperatures, and the steel walls formed by Space Marines.

"Useless humans!" came the sonic scream, the sonic roar shaking the will of the humans.

The elite warriors of Randan scorned the slaves who gave their lives for them, showing no pity and instead despising the slaves' weakness.

"You scum aliens, face us!" the Space Marine retorted sharply, "Are you just going to hide in the back?"

A deep, angry roar, like muffled thunder, momentarily drowned out the clamor of artillery fire.

"You lowly humans, let us show you our power!" the elite warrior roared, unable to bear the humiliation from the slave race.

They propelled their bio-armor, swinging their six multi-directional legs, and charged towards the First Legion warriors!

The bio-armor moves at a very fast speed, comparable to the running speed of a Space Marine.

"Well done!" Another passionate roar rang out as the Lord of the Blade Army led his most elite warriors, forming a fierce battle array.

"Randan's weakness lies in its upper body; its other limbs may be without sensation."

"Brothers, you must be careful!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Army analyzed the alien's weaknesses on the communication channel and then issued a battle order: "Retreat ten steps!"

Wow~
A thousand Space Marines moved in perfect unison, taking ten steps back as Ran Dan appeared before them.

"Coward!" came the alien's mocking laughter, growing even more unrestrained.

Even seemingly powerful individuals choose to retreat and avoid the onslaught of their tribesmen.

"The low-level intelligence of aliens is incomprehensible to higher intelligence." The Lord of the Heavenly Army spoke with utter disdain, openly mocking Ran Dan. "Humble..." Before Ran Dan could finish his sharp taunt, they saw that the tanks and other heavy firepower in the human positions were already aimed at them.

The alien suddenly realized that it had penetrated deep into human defenses and lost the protection of its own shields.

"Blow them up!"

Heavy weaponry opened fire suddenly, with tanks, automatic turrets, and various heavy ground weapons bombarding the elite soldiers of Randan.

Artillery fire, rays, and heavy bombs—in less than a second, a line of fire blasted out from the edge of the shield.

"Despicable humans!" Ran Dan screamed, her bio-armor flashing with shield light as she charged out from the barrage of fire.

However, their losses were staggering; in a single artillery attack, half of their elite warriors fell to human fire.

"Stop them!" A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Heavenly Army. The aliens possessed personal shields, and their defensive capabilities far exceeded those of the legion warriors.

Upon hearing the order, the legionary warriors, who were within arm's reach, traversed the ten-step distance in an instant.

The melee has begun, with elite alien warriors and space marines mingling together.

Legion warriors must push forward and prevent the aliens from forming a formation, eliminating them outside of safe range.

Ran Dan's bio-armor is as powerful as that of a Space Marine.

If they were allowed into the auxiliary army lines, the Imperial lines would quickly collapse and be overwhelmed by the Randan slave forces.

In close combat, the legionary warriors wielded their power swords with incredible speed, slashing towards Ran Dan's upper body.

"Clang!" A crisp sound rang out as the swinging power sword was blocked.

As the legionary warriors were surprised, they saw lightning flashing across Ran Dan's curved bone blade.

The warrior exerted his strength again, hissing and crackling inside his power armor as the system reached its peak processing capacity.

Ran Dan was also exerting her strength, and the bionic muscles inside the bio-armor issued an alarm.

The two sword blades were positioned between them, trembling violently due to their immense strength.

The legionary warrior stepped back, nimbly dodging Ran Dan's close-range attack, and regrouped to launch the next attack.

In a brief exchange, the First Legion warriors discovered that the Xenomorphs' reaction speed was comparable to that of the Space Marines, and their strength output was also similar.

In an instant, the battle line beside the shield fell silent again, and the aliens and Legion warriors retreated.

They looked at each other, facing opponents of equal caliber.

Ran Dan fell silent. Their race traversed the starry sky, their elite warriors were invincible, and today they had encountered the same opponent.

The enemy is not another race, but humans who have been enslaved for a long time.

The Legion warriors were surprised but not afraid, as they had already faced much more powerful aliens.

Ultimately, the First Legion emerged victorious, and the Xenomorphs were wiped out.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. After a brief test, the elite warriors and the space marines were once again locked in battle.

Ran Dan's six legs were incredibly agile, moving in multiple directions with a ghostly grace, while her plasma weapon fired continuously.

The veteran soldiers of the legion were highly experienced, and each attack was perfectly timed, leaving Ran Dan with no way to avoid it.

Tentacles danced on the bio-armor, and the monomolecular blades were extremely sharp, attacking from multiple angles to cut through the ceramic steel armor.

Ran Dan has long enslaved humans and is aware of their weaknesses.

The primary weapon attacks parry the Space Marine Blade, which targets the heart and throat, as well as the weak points at the connection points of the power armor.

The legion warriors grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed; within a few rounds, Ran Dan's attacks became increasingly decisive.

The aliens seem to know a lot about Space Marines!
Their sharp tentacles are aimed directly at vital points, even precisely targeting the second heart!
"The head! It's the main body of Ran Dan, their fragile brain!" The message came through the communication, and the Legion Brothers obtained new intelligence.

A veteran of the legion, using his extraordinary swordsmanship, killed an elite warrior of Randan in a single round.

The power sword pierced through the alien shield, cleaved through the bio-armor, and spilled juices all over the ground, revealing Ran Dan's true form.

Where the sword blade pointed, deep red bionic neural cables coiled like a spider web.

In the middle of the neural cables was a viscous, swollen brain structure, dark green brain tissue, trembling rapidly and unsteadily.

Below his dark green brain grew dozens of whisker-like tentacles, a sinister, hollow mouth, and a pair of golden eyes. He was looking at the Space Marine in terror.

"This is how pathetic you are!" The veteran showed no mercy, thrusting his sword down, preparing to use the disintegrating force field to shred Ran Dan's brain into brain matter.

Just then, he saw the alien's eyes flash with cunning, and he immediately took a step back, becoming alert.

"Humanity!"

Ran Dan howled, emanating an invisible force. His ugly brain burst out of his armor and lunged at the veteran soldier.
