Warhammer 40: Doom

Chapter 206 Street Fighting
"Lolos, you alien bastard!" Urian's terracotta boots rolled over the ruins, his defiant shout piercing the smoke. "I know you're still alive—come out and face me!"

The Grand Master's eyepiece swept across the battlefield: although the Ran Dan soldiers had not broken formation, their movements already revealed panic.

Behind this clumsy disguise, the chain of command is still in operation.

He sneered, the hum of the plasma pistol mingling with the blast of the bullet gun to create a deathly symphony.

Urian's constant provocations and clamors stemmed from both deep-seated hatred and an attempt to force out the enemy's command.

"Where is your arrogance?" He brandished his longsword, slicing Ran Dan into a "human stump," his terracotta boots crushing the alien's abdominal armor, and looked down at its trembling monitor.

"You want me to lick ten thousand boots?" The Grand Master seemed puzzled, then sternly questioned the alien at his feet, "I'm here, where are you?"

He drew his plasma pistol, pointed it at the alien, and looked around for a response.

On the battlefield, the explosions of bombs rang out, plasma flowed intensely, and the terrifying screams of Randan and the furious roars of the legionary warriors all mingled together.

Inside the makeshift command center deep within the ruins, Ran Dan War General—Lolos—was furious: "Humans who bully others by relying on their master's power!"

Lolos roared in crude human language, interspersed with awkward idioms, his vicious voice echoing in the command room.

Through its bionic eyeballs, it saw the enemy commander and heard the human provocations.

The war commander dared not respond, the bio-armor was so angry it was practically smoking, and he swallowed the humiliation of being the center of attention all by himself.

Lolos knew that the other side wanted to force him out and completely destroy the chain of command.

It must not go out before causing greater human casualties; it must remain calm.

With the space fleet's defeat and the underground raid fruitless, Lolos knew he had nowhere to escape.

The elite warriors will eventually suffer torment in the siege until they die.

It forced itself to calm down and gave orders until the very last moment.

“In the end, they are just despicable aliens.” After receiving no response for a long time, Urian shook his head sadly. “They have no courage or dignity, and are not even as good as those slaves who risk their lives.”

He prepared to pull the trigger, using plasma to pierce through the Randan bio-armor and vaporize the hideous brain-shaped Randan.

"No need to rush." ​​At this moment, Ran Dan spoke from beneath his feet, but it was Lolos's voice: "I'll make you lick my shoes!"

"Huh?" The Grand Mentor turned the volume up to the maximum: "Continue to hide behind your compatriots and boast?"

After humiliating and questioning him, Urian gave him no chance to refute and pulled the trigger, killing Randan.

The subtle power of psychological warfare often determines many things.

Within Ran Dan's ranks, morale was crumbling, and numerous doubts were arising.

They doubted the commander's courage, his resolve to die, and his own strength.

Faced with the First Legion's high morale, the cracks of doubt became a fatal flaw, and the Randan front collapsed extremely quickly.

Numerous war vehicles entered and raced through the ruins of the hive city.

The Space Marine's vehicle, connected to the pilot's power armor interface, and operated with the aid of a nervous system.

The two are integrated through neural connections, precisely controlling the vehicle's attitude and unleashing powerful combat capabilities.

Legion warriors guarded the surrounding area, using the powerful scanning equipment of their vehicles to clear out the area they were responsible for.

Using vehicles as fulcrums, establish regional firepower superiority and eliminate Ran Dan elite soldiers in a sweeping, coordinated manner.

The First Legion, proficient in various combat tactics, advanced steadily, relying on combined arms tactics to compress Ran Dan's living space.

Compared to the First Legion, Nur's advance was very slow.

The troops poured in through the gap torn open by the sonic cannons, their tactical maneuvers a textbook example.

Establish a base at the hub of the complex hive city and advance in coordination with automated machine troops.

Two meters in front of each soldier are two automated robots that synchronize information with the soldier's power armor.

Nur's mortal power armor connects to the wearer's spinal interface and is a type of neurally coordinated power armor.

While its defense is not as good as Space Marine power armor, its advantage lies in the fact that it can be worn by ordinary people and has a wide range of combat functions.

Ordinary people form groups of three, each carrying six automatic soldiers. The three groups then form a team, forming a defensive triangle to provide mutual cover.

"Spearhead squad, advance!" The signal came from the power armor, and the squad commander ordered the spearhead squad to move forward and seize the crossroads ahead.

"Spearhead team received." The spearhead team immediately moved forward to seize a favorable position.

"Enemy detected." The enemy's location was immediately marked inside the power armor helmet and shared with the entire team.

Inside the buildings along the street, slave armies had set up concealed firing positions, waiting for their prey to walk in and be wiped out.

Their existence did not escape the biological scan of the automated machine soldiers.

"Cover them." The vanguard team gave the hand signal, concealing themselves while instructing the automated infantry to provide cover.

"Beware of Randan's elite soldiers; they may be nearby."

The captain searched for information; his mind was clear, and he was not affected at all by the gunshots coming from the surroundings.

As the army advanced, they relayed more and more information about Ran Dan. Initially, they were contemptuous of mortals, charging straight at any mortal army they encountered.

After a brief exchange, the automatons' firepower tore the arrogant Randan apart, and then the aliens retreated into the shadows.

The alien's bio-armor is very powerful, capable of regulating temperature to blend into the environment and even achieving a degree of visual cloaking.

They suddenly emerged from the shadows, using their individual shields and agile movements to cause numerous casualties.

The mortal legion is neither the Night Guard nor the Space Marines, and their reaction speed cannot keep up with the Xenomorphs.

The siege army immediately changed tactics, referring to the war code written by King Norwick, and engaged in street fighting with the aliens.

You're resorting to guerrilla tactics? I'll advance steadily!
Search every point, establish a stable rear, and begin the real confrontation.

"The automated mechs spread out and adopt a 'covering formation' to avoid being quickly killed by the aliens when they are too close."

The captain was giving orders, but he felt very uneasy.

The street is too narrow, which is not conducive to the deployment of the squad, and the automated machine soldiers are too close together.

Just as the automated soldiers dispersed, the sensors issued an urgent warning!

The two piles of rubble at the crossroads suddenly began to move, shedding their disguise and revealing their true nature.

"Enemy confirmed: Ran Dan Overlord, Ran Dan Elite."

The automated mechs transmit information extremely quickly, sending signals before humans can even react.

Moreover, the various weapons on board were quickly adjusted and aimed at the target.

The overlords and elites of Randan, with their multi-jointed biological limbs, launched sudden attacks with lightning speed.

After a brief exchange, Ran Dan also realized that she must not allow the machines and humans to engage in a firefight.

Those automated attack machines, equipped with various weapons, could instantly tear apart bio-armor under concentrated fire.

Ran Dan, the overlord, moved with lightning speed, launching a fierce counterattack before the machine could even take aim.

"Wow~"

The creature A emits a sonic roar from its abdominal face, first rendering humans unable to resist.

The Nur soldiers swayed as the sonic attack from the Randan overlord briefly disoriented them.

Having landed a successful blow, the Overlord Ran Dan activated its omnidirectional leg, quickly disengaging from its original position, with the Elite immediately following suit.

They had to be quick; the machine had already aimed and fired within half a second!

A crimson laser flashed, striking the spot where Ran Dan had left, burning a crater in the ground.

A little later, the machine's powerful laser would have hit them.

The bionic arm rose, and Ran Dan opened fire in coordination, the plasma gun instantly killing two nearby automated mechs.

Compared to slow-reacting humans, machines are actually more threatening.

In a split second, the captain reacted and calmly gave the order: "Eliminate the elites of Ran Dan. The overlord is not someone we can contend with."

The captain was far away, so the sound waves had little effect on him, but Ran Dan's movements were too fast for ordinary people to react to.

The instant he gave the order, Ran Dan's curved blade fell mercilessly, slaying the elite squad.

Without regard for anything else, everyone else began to move.

Eight automated mechs began to move, unleashing a barrage of bullets that forced the overlord of Ran Dan to retreat.

Two more mechs were lost in the process, and the remaining humans and mechs all opened fire on the Ran Dan elites.

The elite warrior was not as decisive as the human; it wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

The automated machine guns' lasers blocked it, and several large-caliber plasma bursts struck the shield, breaking through its defenses.

In the distance, four more automated mechs were destroyed; the Ran Dan overlord acted too quickly.

The three captains raised their electromagnetic guns and automatically aimed and locked onto their targets—the nearby elite warriors of Ran Dan.

The overlord is launching another attack, raising its sword against another group.

"Die! You filthy alien!" With unwavering resolve, he pulled the trigger. A hissing electromagnetic sound filled the air as hundreds of bullets were fired in an instant.

Automatic aiming and locking; programmable ammunition can track within a small range, ensuring that all hundreds of bullets hit their target.

The elite warrior's bio-armor was instantly torn apart, and Ran Dan's true form burst out of the armor, looking terrified as she tried to escape.

Unfortunately, the dense barrage of bullets caused it to explode.

Before the auxiliary troops could react to the mental shock, the overlord of Ran Dan charged forward in a rage, determined to avenge his compatriots through slaughter.

Just as its blade fell, a blue light flashed, forcing the Ran Dan Overlord back.

"Alien, your opponent is me!" Deep in the street, a Night Guard stood there holding a spear.

(II. I have a lot to do and am physically and mentally exhausted.)
