Chapter 615 Bloody Claw Marks

Surface of the Morning Star.

The fierce battle that broke out in the metropolitan area at this time, coupled with the battle for control of the near-Earth orbit, seemed to have set the entire night sky on fire. Even without lighting, one could still see things a hundred meters away on the road.

Many megastructures were affected by artillery fire and the crash of warships, but on the side of the 15th district of the metropolitan area, it was due to the sudden emergence of a tomb of the dead that caused it to tilt and collapse.

The outer wall of this pyramid, which was completely black, with details and gaps flashing dark green light, had countless dead warriors guarding the surroundings.

At important locations such as intersections and overpass corridors, there were also "three-legged scorpions" equipped with large-caliber, high-power Gauss cannons. It should be said that units with three legs, or suspended air cushions, or even scorpion tails as a means of movement were usually the destroyer units of the dead.

The ones with super-phase blades were scorpion destroyers, and the ones that could maintain suspension, like small tanks, were locust destroyers, and so on.

At the same time, countless Necron warriors and various types of expellers were escorting human captives from all directions to the Necron tombs exposed on the surface.

Among the captives, more than 90% were civilians, a small number were sheriffs, imperial army and marines, and even a very small number of Kriegs, auxiliary troops and reservists.

However, not all of these people were captured to save their lives.

Like Kriegs, auxiliary troops and reservists.

Kriegs are soldiers created by genetic engineering. Since their birth, in addition to having normal human emotions, they also have an unshakable belief, which is to fight for the Emperor.

The auxiliary troops need to have super strong wills and belong to the elite of the "mortal" elites to be eligible to participate in the auxiliary army transformation plan.

As for the reservists, let alone, because the human emperor is their father, they will never surrender and lose face.

So these captives were temporarily unconscious due to explosions and impacts, or were directly crippled by advanced Necron units, and there was no time to overload the reactors of their power armors.

In the end, when these super soldiers could no longer resist, they were forced to remove their power armor and were locked up in transport vehicles with stasis positions.

Among the civilians, sheriffs, and imperial soldiers recruited from local or nearby star fields and star regions, the majority were indeed "full of martial virtues" and "fearless of death", but there were always a few who feared death and gave up resistance and were willing to be captured.

These suspended transport vehicles, which used anti-gravity technology and were driven by dead warriors, all emitted dark green stasis positions, and held human captives in a sluggish state, and sent them to the dead tombs continuously.

Following the convoy of prisoners, passing through the outer wall of the pyramid with a standard 51° angle, and coming to the interior of the dead tomb, the first thing that caught the eye was the dazzling luminous prisms.

The dark green light tone and the occasional screams of "Ah...-Ah...-" made the interior of the tomb extremely depressing.

Although the captives whose freedom of movement was restricted could not move, their eyes and ears could sense the changes outside the car, and naturally they could hear the painful cries of their compatriots.

A few people's eyes revealed fear and confusion, but most of them were angry and unwilling.

The convoy separated under the driving of the Undead Warrior.

The vehicles carrying more civilians parked directly in the nearby open space, and then the overwhelming metal beetles attacked, and many metal spiders came nearby, waiting for the moment when the stasis position was lifted, and then immediately controlled the captives' limbs.

The vehicles carrying Krieg, auxiliary troops and reservists also went forward separately.

One of the transport vehicles, holding ten reservists with different injuries, was parked in a circle with flashing light on the edge.

Wait for a moment.

A cylindrical light wall rose from the edge, and there were also words and symbols of unknown meaning on the light wall.

A flash of light.

When the light dissipated, the originally messy hall instantly switched to a large secret room.

The light here is also dark green, but there are a large number of neatly arranged platforms that look like coffins, just like operating tables for surgery.

And on the floor that looks like black ink bricks, there are a lot of blood stains and meat particles, which further confirms that the coffins are operating tables.

"Step, step."

Seeing the carrier appear in this secret room, the royal guards standing around immediately stepped forward, half of them holding special melee weapons, not super-phase blades, and the other half holding guns that are not Gauss rays.

It seems that the royal guards hope to transfer the ten reservists who are about to be released from stasis through non-lethal force coercion.

A rough count shows that about two hundred royal guards are already in place, and in the distance there are high-level guards with more "strong" and "large" metal bodies and Gauss guns on alert.

Everything is ready.

The large secret room fell into silence.

Buzz...

As the sound of energy weakening resounded, the light representing the stasis field flickered like an old-fashioned light bulb, and finally dissipated completely.

"Ah!! Die! All of you die!!!!"

"Fuck! I'm giving you a bunch of metal bugs a face!!!"

As soon as the stasis field dissipated, all the reservists roared in anger, and turned into afterimages, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the nearest royal guards with bare hands.

Bang!

Hiss!

In the blink of an eye, many royal guards were torn apart by the reservists.

Having a more agile reaction and a stronger body is nothing. In the eyes of the reservists whose average age is less than 20, it is just reckless and hard work, no matter what you are.

And the reservists without power armor are much faster than those wearing power armor, and they really have the upper hand with brute force.

However, after all, they are the senior units responsible for protecting the undead overlords. The Royal Guards quickly reversed the situation after the initial setback.

Buzz-! Buzz--! !

The Royal Guards waved their weapons in an orderly manner, trying to restrict the reservists who had no protection.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Royal Guards holding non-lethal energy guns quickly calculated and judged the movement trajectory of the reservists, and shot at the "air" in advance.

Boom! ! Boom! !

The light green light ball directly hit the six reservists, and a violent explosion also occurred. The smoke immediately engulfed the six inexperienced young Astartes.

Plop... plop...

Then, the six reservists, who were covered in black, suffered severe burns, and part of their skin was charred, fell to the ground, motionless.

The so-called "non-lethal" weapons are weapons that the Necrons analyze and judge the physique of the Astartes and cannot directly kill with one shot.

If those light green artillery groups were fired at ordinary people, they would have been vaporized and evaporated long ago.

As for the reservists, no matter how fast their reaction speed is and how skin is like steel, without the protection of power armor, it is like a hero without armor and sword, and it is impossible to complete the feat of slaying a dragon.

Moreover, the reason why the reservists are reservists is that their combat experience, especially the experience of close combat, is far from enough, and the large branch is still in the stage of moving from theory to practice.

! !

"Brother! Ah! You bunch of aliens!!"

The reservists, who have a pair of protruding fangs and a full beard at a young age, were furious and rushed directly towards the royal guards holding "non-lethal" guns.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Boom! Boom!

Several energy bombs hit the reserve directly, causing a violent explosion and choking smoke.

"Get out of here!"

However, the reserve actually resisted the attack, rushed out of the smoke regardless of his injuries, and rushed into the enemy group at a speed far beyond the limit.

Bang!

Crack!

Sizzle! !

The reserve rushed into the group of guards, like a wolf rushing into a flock of sheep, either tearing it with his hands or hammering it with his head, anyway, he did his best to dismantle the metal with his bare hands.

"Pah!"

Of course, the reserve was forced into a corner, and he didn't forget to spit at a royal guard.

Hiss...!

The highly corrosive saliva directly pierced and disintegrated the metal skull.

Ri~Swoosh! !

Boom! ! !

However, the guards holding high-powered Gauss guns in the distance saw that the reserve suddenly broke out, and the royal guards responsible for close combat could not contain it at all, so they chose to open fire directly.

"Uh..."

The reserve, who was bombarded by Gauss rays and found himself gradually disintegrating and about to turn into a pile of residue, still showed anger and disdain, and raised his hands to show the middle finger to the royal guards in the distance, and laughed and scolded:

"A bunch of trash without a ***, hahaha! I still have an afterlife, what about you? Hahaha..."

Laughing and laughing, the reserve was completely disintegrated by the Gauss rays, but the pair of middle fingers in the air turned into residue and fell at the end.

And during the outbreak of the reserve with tiger teeth, the other three brothers also successfully suppressed the royal guards, so in the end, they were completely "unmoved" after being hit by Gauss rays.

The royal guards have a certain degree of autonomous thinking logic, but they can't understand that the data analysis shows that their number and weapons and equipment can obviously achieve absolute suppression, but everything that happened just now is beyond their processing ability.

But they will not be too confused, but after the battle, they will immediately clean up the metal "corpses" that are undergoing autonomous repair.

At the same time, they also transferred the six seriously injured and unconscious reservists to the operating table.

After completing the designated orders, the royal guards left the secret room through the transmission device and the previous carrier.

Then, hundreds of metal beetles were released from the top of the secret room, and then divided into six waves to rush towards the six unconscious reservists.

Following the beetles, there were also countless dense, tiny light spots emitting green light, and then these light spots, like fireflies, drilled into the reservists through their mouths and noses.

Soon, the pores and burn cracks of the six reservists began to emit faint green light. I don’t know what kind of experiments those "fireflies" are conducting.

The beetles attached to the reservists to cut and dissect.

Logically, this kind of extreme experiment and surgery would be accompanied by severe pain, but these six reservists really looked like they were dead and motionless.

Step, step.

At this moment, the sound of sharp objects poking the floor came from the secret room.

I saw a creature that looked like an oversized "three-legged scorpion" walking towards the coffin platform where six reserve soldiers were lying.

This "three-legged scorpion" looked more refined, with multiple prosthetic limbs installed. It was holding a special scepter, indicating that it was at least a noble.

In fact, the guy who was experimenting with the reserve soldiers was the Zerath mentioned by Trazyn, the ruler of the Undead Dynasty on the Morning Star.

Coincidentally, Zerath also called himself the Enlightened One.

As for why it likes experiments and why Trazin has hatred towards it is simple, because when it was still the Necrontyr, the Star God "shared" the knowledge of uploading biological consciousness to living metal. It is true that this can be It was Xerath who led the transformation of this technology from theory to practice.

In other words, apart from the Star God, Xerath can be regarded as the notorious culprit.

Not only that, according to Trazin, this Xerath is extremely passionate and obsessed with unlocking the mysteries of life, and has never seen anything wrong with becoming a mechanical body.

Because Xerath believes that it will eventually become a "god", and the mechanical body is just a transition, and it is very satisfied with this body. It does not need to worry about eating, drinking, sleeping, and only needs to focus on "scientific research."

Xerath did not know some of its little secrets, which had long been revealed by Trazin. At this moment, it was focused on analyzing the structure of the main universe Astartes.

However, when it just approached one of the coffin platforms and was about to take action personally...

"Death...alien...!!"

"Let's go together…!"

"Hahaha!!"

Three of the six reserves suddenly broke away from the metal beetle and rushed towards Xerath with all their strength.

Apparently, he was preparing to die together with Xerath.

However, no matter how much it looks like a technician from the Human Empire, like a powerless "idiot", it is still an undead overlord.

In an instant, Xerath's scepter released his stasis stance and once again imprisoned the three reserves.

Then it moved its metal fingers, causing the three reservists to "float" back to the coffin platform. Still tilting its head, its one-eyed monitor flashed with light and said:

"Meanless resistance is like meaningless life. Don't try to resist. You will be the cornerstone of the road to becoming a god."

After confirming that all reserves would never break free again and that analysis and experiments could run normally, Xerath also controlled the previous fireflies and separated some of them to condense in front of it into a screen similar to holographic imaging.

What was displayed on the screen was a picture of Artemis and more than a hundred divine servants, efficiently solving the undead army around the tomb and rescuing human captives as much as possible.

Seeing this, Xerath quickly tapped on the screen with his metal fingers and issued an order:

"Wake up the death mark unit and enter the command. One, try to capture the target. Two, if it cannot be captured, eliminate it."

With that said, Xerath returned his attention to studying the Astartes.

However…

call! ! !

Xerath didn't notice that behind him, there was a bloody claw mark heading towards it at high speed.
