The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

The 191st Regiment and the knights are also ready. As long as the shield of the Orc Fortress disappears, they will follow immediately. If the shield is not paralyzed by noon, it will be assumed that all the Astartes have been sacrificed.

The Mastodon advanced towards the Orc position in the darkness of night. Tens of seconds before entering the Orcs' observation range, the Astra Militarum's artillery positions and warships in orbit simultaneously fired smoke bombs at the area where the Orcs were located. The thick smoke obscured everything outside the Orc position, allowing the Mastodon to advance safely at full speed in the smoke.

But safety was only temporary. The machine specially made by the Orc Tech-Boss to deal with large-scale smoke bombs began to blow a strong wind. The smoke within the orcs' observation range was directly blown away, and the mastodon was also exposed. At this time, the mastodon was less than half the distance away from entering the shield.

The orc positions and the artillery batteries in the fortress immediately opened fire after locking onto the mastodon. The shells continuously bombarded the area where the mastodon was located. The terrifying firepower could destroy a Leman Russ tank in an instant. Among ground vehicles, only the mastodon with a pair of void shield arrays could advance under such firepower.

The void shield continuously transferred artillery fire into the subspace, and dense ripples and brilliant colors appeared on the transparent shield composed of energy. This was a manifestation of the void shield's wear and tear. After the firepower it endured reached a certain limit, the void shield would overload and collapse. Once overloaded, it would take a lot of time to restart. However, on the battlefield, an overload of a vehicle's void shield meant the end of its life.

In order to prevent the Mastodon's void shield from overloading, the Mastodon activated its own smoke generator, and the Imperial Army's smoke bombs exploded one after another around the Mastodon. Although they did not have much effect, they at least gave the Mastodon some time to breathe.

"Successfully entered the shield!"

Two mastodons entered the orcs' shield, and the giant beasts rampaged in the orcs' positions. The multiple laser cannons mounted on the vehicles were also firing continuously. In order to intercept the mastodons, the orcs' fortress shells continued to explode on their own positions.

"The wolves and sharks have already rushed in, it's our turn!"

Apu, Eryu, Xianyu and forty Terminators were on standby in the stratosphere on a Stormbird. After learning that the Wild Wolf and the Shark had rushed into the Orc position, the Stormbird's engine was directly increased to the limit and flew towards the Orc fortress at full speed.

"Void shield at full power, lower the mount, and prepare for impact!"

The Stormbirds charging straight down attracted all the attention of the Orc artillery, which reduced the pressure on the two Mastodons on the ground. Without the threat of the Fortress artillery, the Mastodons stopped immediately and deployed the Wolf and Shark Terminators.

"Maya, I almost thought I was going to meet the All-Father."

Eivor, sitting in the car, was terrified, fearing that the mastodon would explode mid-way. Death is not scary, but dying miserably is.

Hearing the movement in the air, Eivor and the others raised their heads. The Stormbird rushed towards the fortress with a fearless attitude. The void kept flickering around the fuselage. The closer it got to the fortress, the more times it was hit.

"Hold on, you old guys, don't die like this." Eivor was worried about the people in the Stormbird.

Under the dense firepower, the Stormbird's void shield was finally overloaded, but at this time the Stormbird was very close to the fortress, and its own armor was enough to support this last bit of distance. Six missiles specially replaced with melta warheads mounted on the fuselage were fired at the same time to reduce the resistance for the upcoming collision.

After a violent explosion and crash, the Stormbird crashed into the orc fortress.

"Haha! I knew they would succeed."

Seeing the Stormbird successfully crash into the fortress, Eivor was overjoyed. As long as people could enter the fortress, there was nothing to worry about. Those old guys could probably fight their way in and out of it.

"Now those oil guys are going to cry miserably~"

The engineers from the 191st Regiment must have fainted from anger when they saw Nebula Hammer using Stormbird to perform Kamikaze.

"Are you ready, Brother Tastino?"

Eivor shouted that they were not wearing Terminators to watch the show. Shark and Wolf had to stop as many orcs as possible from returning to the fortress to reinforce it, and to pull out the artillery on the position.

Tastino nodded silently, and the assault cannon on his right arm began to rotate.

The orcs are coming.

The Stormbird crashed into the upper and middle levels of the fortress. The people who escaped from the cabin cleaned up the orcs that survived the collision. The team's radar showed that no units on their side were killed in the collision.

"What? We're pretty lucky." Xianyu kicked the orc corpse at his feet away. "If only this fortress had two tower-like structures, we could have replicated it perfectly."

Apu: "Kids, this is not funny."

Eryu: "I'll put on a big beard and laugh with you."

"Please note, this fortress is packed with a large number of boss-level orcs," Gloria interrupted, explaining the situation inside. "The locations of shield generators, heavy firepower points, and war bosses have all been sent to your in-game map. Please assign yourselves."

"Why do I see the war boss and the shield generator together?" Apu opened the map to check.

“Because we’re just together.”

"So what do you say? I'm definitely going to fight this greenskin to a duel."

Apu has not yet decided the outcome with the war boss named Galam. If Galam had not activated the invincibility cheat last time, Apu would have cut the opponent into mushroom shreds long ago.

"Then should I go with Lao Pu?" Xianyu said.

"Whatever you want. I'm going to destroy the firing points in the fortress."

Er Yu took away ten Terminators, and the two teams separated and moved in different directions. Before either side had taken a few steps, several orc bosses and green-skinned boys blocked their way.

This time, in order to get rid of Galam, Apu equipped the Terminators with heavy weapons, and his melee weapon was also replaced with a heavy thunder hammer. As a powerful variant of the power hammer, the thunder hammer's full energy blow is enough to destroy the tank, and the impact of the decomposition field can also eliminate the miscellaneous soldiers at the same time. It can be said to be a weapon to kill the enemy.

What? You said the hammer crashed? But the flying hammer crashed. What happened to the Terminator hammer?

Jokes aside, the real power of the thunder hammer is much stronger than the plastic hammer in the game. If it hits the head, even the big demon (nameless) will be forced to kneel on the ground.

Apu, riding an iron cavalry, took the lead and rushed forward under the firepower of the orcs. With one hammer, he cut an orc boss into pieces and turned several orc boys into meat paste.

After one hammer blow, Xianyu rushed out from behind Apu. This time he did not wear the Hades Terminator, but changed into a set of fine armor. He swung the large chainsaw sword in his hand - the Man-Splitter, and killed the orcs everywhere.

More orcs surrounded them from different directions. Terminators equipped with long-range weapons began to fire, and Terminators equipped with melee weapons also engaged in the fight with the orcs.

Apu and Xianyu pushed forward. Their team's route was to go straight to the war boss. The pressure along the way could be imagined. There were explosions coming from the lower level. Eryu, who was under relatively less pressure, had destroyed a firepower point.

It didn't take long for the two teams to suffer casualties. There were many elite greenskins in the fortress, as well as a large number of weapons that could kill the Terminators, so losses were inevitable.

After losing nearly half of their Terminators, the two also reached the location of the war boss. [Image: Thunder Hammer] [Image: Two-handed Chainsaw Sword - Man-Splitting Saw]

Chapter 43 I think no one wants this thing

Boom!

Apu hammered the iron gate in front of him and it flew away. The iron gate fell and killed several unlucky greenskins.

Galam is in this area, and just like last time, he is only guarded by a few greenskin bosses. It is no joke that nearly half of the Terminators of Apu and Xianyu's team died along the way. Basically, all the elite orcs in the fortress have been killed.

Behind Galam is a huge instrument emitting green light. It is the shield generator of this fortress. In the center of the shield generator is a mechanical core. This core is about the size of an adult's head, but the energy inside is bottomless. It can easily support a shield that can withstand orbital attacks. It is probably a relic of some living civilization.

"I'm coming, Galam!" Apoo raised his thunder hammer and pointed it at Galam, who had just reacted. "I'm fully prepared this time, so prepare to die!"

"Waaagh! You again, Abaddon! I…"

Without giving Galam a chance to finish his words, the Terminator equipped with a plasma cannon opened fire. The Astartes and the Greenskins were not ninjas, so was there a need for a pre-battle greeting? It would be better to seize the initiative and blast the opponent to pieces.

The charged plasma ball exploded in Galam and his guards. Galam's shield helped him block this wave of attacks, but the other orcs were not so well equipped. The plasma ball easily melted the orcs' armor, and the orc boss's guards, who were originally few in number, were directly blown to pieces.

"No? Why does it have a shield?"

Apu thought that this sneak attack could at least severely injure Galam. The core had been removed from Galam and placed in the shield generator. Who would have thought that it still had a shield on its body.

"There is some device connecting its armor and shield generator together. As long as it is within the range of this hall, its shield will not disappear." Gloria analyzed the reason.

"Invincible zone, huh? Come on, Salty Fish! Drag it out and give it a good beating!"

This is when the invincible second captain should appear.

"If I do it if you say so, wouldn't that make me lose face?" Xianyu said, still walking forward honestly.

"You despicable can! Galam wouldn't..."

The whirlwind missile launcher on the Terminator's shoulder fired all the bullets, once again submerging Galam in the explosion. The Terminator holding the multi-barreled melta followed Xianyu forward. Galam had just survived the explosion when he was hit in the face by the melta's super-high temperature heat beam. Although the melta's range was short, it was not so bad that you had to get close to the face to shoot like in the game. The multi-barreled melta had a longer range than the ordinary melta gun.

It can only be said that Galam's shield is really awesome. It can absorb anything that can cause damage to it. Apu began to worry whether Xianyu could drag Galam out of the protection range of the shield.

Galam is no pushover to become the war boss. After taking several rounds of attacks, he found an opportunity to counterattack. He fired with his armor and the large gun barrel in his hand, instantly leaving the Terminator in front of him covered in wounds.

Xianyu accelerated and pulled to Galam's side. The Man-Splitting Saw was roaring, and the single-molecule serrations on the sword were rotating at high speed. The sword went straight to Galam's head. The Man-Splitting Saw hit Galam's shield, and the serrations continued to cut on the shield, but it still couldn't go any further.

Xianyu dodged Galam's counterattack. The cut didn't feel right, and he shouted at Apu:

"This is a hook shield, it's clearly a 2.5 with no lower limit! How can I pull it out and attack if I can't even touch it!"

"I don't know. Didn't Gloria send the analysis?"

In Gloria's analysis, Galam's shield characteristics are the same as the fortress shield. Because of the different specifications, the judgment has also changed to a certain extent. As long as you don't use force, you can hit Galam with a random punch or pick up a small stone.

But just like tears can't save the earth, can weak fists and pebbles solve the war boss?

Can’t do it (shakes finger).

"You deal with it for a while, I'll go dismantle the shield generator."

Apu bypassed Galam and went straight to the shield generator. If the shield was not destroyed, the Star Army outside would not be able to come in, and they would also be killed by the orcs inside.

"Then hurry up!"

Xianyu was parrying Galam's attack. Seeing that it was difficult to break through Xianyu, Galam turned around and attacked other Terminators. He pierced a Terminator with one strike of the steel claws on his right arm and then lifted it high.

"Waaagh! Cans can't defeat the great Galam, you can't even scratch me!"

"You're just pretending to be awesome, turn off the shield if you can!"

"Haha~ Can is getting anxious!"

Galam threw the Terminator on the steel claw aside and continued to fight with the rushing salted fish. It never tried to intercept Apu from beginning to end. In its opinion, the can could not destroy the artifact given to it by Goge Maoge.

But Galam soon regretted his decision.

The thunder hammer smashed towards the shield generator, but was blocked by a layer of shield as expected. This was Galam's confidence in ignoring Apu. Apu couldn't dismantle it directly with his hands. It was no different from touching a high-voltage wire. If you want to become an old acquaintance, just go ahead and try.

However, after knowing the characteristics of this shield, Apu did not need to do it himself. He just wanted to try to see if he could destroy the shield generator directly with the hammer. If that didn't work, he had another way.

Apu took out a small beacon. This thing was a prop used by everyone when they were treasure hunting in Edith. It was specially designed by Gloria for teleportation in extreme environments. If the things found could not be taken away, a beacon would be placed to allow Gloria to teleport away directly.

Seeing this, I believe everyone knows what Apu is going to do.

The beacon was gently bounced onto the shield generator. The surging energy would not affect the beacon in the short term. Now it was Gloria's turn to perform.

"The spatial coordinates are being determined, and the items are being recovered."

A few seconds later, the entire shield generator disappeared from the hall, as if it had been removed from the map, abruptly but without any signs.

Galam: “?”

Apu, Xianyu: hold back laughter.jpg

After observing the energy source, everyone's first goal was to recover it. It would be a shame to destroy such a good thing, so it would be better to collect it and use it to nourish Gloria.

Since they didn't even try to stop them, then they're not going to be polite. I don't think anyone wants this shield generator.

Galam bit the salted fish hard and the armor on his abdomen was cut open. He quickly fought back to drive the salted fish away and looked back at the empty space.

"Where is my magic weapon?" Galam shouted in confusion. How could such a huge shield generator disappear?

"Artifact? Where did this artifact come from? Has such a thing ever existed?"

Xianyu asked the Terminator not to fire. He was very frustrated in the fight just now. Now that the situation has reversed, he has to have a good fight with this green skin.

"It was clearly there just now!"

"Are you having a seizure? Are there any signs of anything here?" Apu walked over carrying the thunder hammer. "You've had enough fun, now it's our turn."

After saying that, Apu swung a hammer at Galam. Galam, who was surrounded, had no time to dodge and could only use the steel claws with Waaagh force field on his right arm to resist.

Lightning exploded, and Galam's entire right arm was blown apart by the thunder hammer. The angle was almost off, and he was unable to straighten his arm immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Apu struck again with a hammer, which hit Galam's chest directly. The armor on Galam's chest was dented, and he flew several meters away.

After rolling on the ground for a few times, Galam stood up again, a mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth, and said:

"You cans are so mean!"

Xianyu ran up and kicked Galam again, knocking him to the ground. "What's so despicable about that? I don't know who activated the invincibility and dominance just now."

Are playing dirty and cheating the same thing?

"People outside should have noticed that the shield has disappeared. Xianyu, please keep an eye on the time and don't play for too long." The previous hammer blow had already made Apu vent enough, and he gave the remaining blood bar of Galam to Xianyu.

Xianyu watched Galam stand up shakily and said:

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

The Imperial Army immediately noticed the disappearance of the shield. The knights took the lead and the 191st Regiment also set off immediately, so as not to let the Astartes wait too long.

Luochen had already prepared his spells. He had little presence in the entire battle, but at least he got some assists in this last battle. He cast a layer of shield on the vehicle in the front. Because the casting area was too large, the strength of the shield would not be that strong. At most, it could allow the vehicle to withstand a few more hits.

By this time, most of the artillery in the orc positions and fortresses had been removed, and the remaining firepower was no longer enough to stop the advance of the Imperial army.

Eivor had no idea how many orcs he had torn apart with his lightning claws. When he saw the knights approaching, he knew that the old guys in the fortress had succeeded.

"Assemble! Return to the Mastodon and hand this place over to the Astra Militarum and the Knights." Eivor gave the order. The battle situation in the fortress was unknown. They had to ride the Mastodon to the fortress to support the Nebula Hammer.

Most of the wolves and sharks regrouped at the mastodon's location, but some could not return.

"Report the damage."

Although there were mastodons as mobile cover, the Terminators still had to go to some firing points in person. In this way, the Wolf and Shark lost 6 and 4 people respectively. It is conceivable how strong the firepower of the orcs was.

There is no time to mourn, only to wait until everything is over and then collect the bodies of the fighting brothers.

Wild Wolf and Shark boarded the Mastodon and drove towards the fortress. On the way, they killed many orcs who were returning to the fortress for support. When they were about to hit the fortress, the molten array on the front of the car melted the steel outer wall of the fortress, and the Mastodon successfully entered the fortress.
