Chapter 616 Stealth Assassin Assassination

Buzz! ! !

The claw marks collided violently with the dark green shield. It can be seen that the shield automatically generated by the metal body is trying to resist the sudden bloody claw marks.

Whoosh! ! !

But another claw mark fell.

Crack...

The two blood claws gradually moved forward.

Crack... Crack...

The shield showed a cracked texture.

Crack! ! !

In the end, the shield was completely smashed by the two blood claws, and the blood claws continued to move forward, rushing straight towards Zerath who failed to turn around.

Snap! !

The sharp blood claws easily split the metal body in two...

In fact, it cut many parts, but basically separated Zerath's upper and lower body.

And everything happened very quickly, even the metal body of the overlord level could not keep up with the speed just now.

? ?

At this time, Zerath, with only the upper body movable, was using his one eye to scan the surroundings frantically, trying to lock the murderer who launched the "sneak attack".

But before it could find a suspicious target, an invisible hand grabbed its metal neck and lifted it up with a little force.

! !

"Who dares to break in here?? ! ! Guards! Guards!!!"

After all, it is not a real creature. Even if the neck is pinched, Zerath can still roar loudly, and he is also ready to wave the scepter to try to fight back.

Snap! Snap!

Unfortunately, the few remaining arms of Zerath were all cut off.

Now, it has really become a "metal mummy" and can't move at all. Only the one-eyed monitor can be freely scaled.

It was at this time that the "sneak attack" murderer who unilaterally abused Zerath finally showed his true form.

After a soundless change of light and shadow, the original leader of the Raven Guard, Corax, was seen.

This Primarch, who was crowned with the title of "Crow King", was about five meters and one meter tall after wearing his exclusive power armor. There were faint shadows or black mists between the joints and gaps of the armor. His arms were covered with blood-colored claws that could change their size at will according to the user's subjective consciousness.

"Primarch? Haha... I didn't expect that a humble and fragile organism could achieve such a state!"

Seeing the appearance of the culprit who was completely defeated by him, Zerath's metallic tone was mixed with exasperation.

Obviously, it didn't expect that Corax had passed through layers of guards and security and came to this experimental center that was obviously a secret room...

Secret room!

Although this place is not as good as its main tomb, it is not a place that anyone can break into!

However, Zerath obviously didn't know the human empire like Trazyn, nor did he know that the Primarch in front of him was Corax, and the title of "Crow King" was not self-proclaimed. It was the Vaelin who admired Corax so much that spread the title of "Crow King".

If all the Primarchs are ranked by combat power, the first place is always controversial, but the top five are usually fought over by Sanguinius, John, Sui Meng, Leon and Russ.

Of course, the main reason is that the new Primarchs do not have many opportunities to perform, and Sui Meng stays in the most chaotic Universe 03, which is why he stands out from the new Primarchs.

As for Corax, he is in the upper middle, and can keep the top ten, but cannot continue to fight for the upper position.

However, if it comes to stealth kills, then Corax is undoubtedly the first.

Even Conrad, who is four hundred years older than him and has endured humiliation, has more defeats than wins in stealth against Corax after receiving an operation personally performed by the Emperor of Mankind and the Plague Doctor.

It is true that the psychic energy is blocked and suppressed on the Morning Star, and even Corax's psychic energy volume has been suppressed to about 1%, but even so, it is enough to sneak into this tomb dedicated to studying humans quietly.

Moreover, without psychic power, Corax can also wear power armor and walk without making any noise.

It can only be said that although Xerath is a hegemon, hegemons are also divided into strong and weak, brute force output and technical crushing.

In a head-on confrontation, Xerath is not Sarkos, and Corax is not Anakin who has not grown up yet. Moreover, relying on physical skills and strength is a one-sided crushing.

"."

Corax was too lazy to pay attention to Xerath's impotent rage, and directly released the static stand device provided by Trazyn to restrain him and prevent his consciousness from being transmitted back to the core of the tomb.

Then, Corax waved his right hand, released the stand to "wrap" the six completely unconscious reservists, and then opened the armor's transmission device, and directly returned to the earth's core world of the Emperor's Shadow, leaving this so-called secret room.

——

…

Before Corax easily solved Xerath.

Northwest of the tomb of the dead, about five kilometers away at the crossroads…

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

Explosive arrows are flying.

Hundreds of divine servants wearing silver armor and holding 1.0cal or 1.25cal caliber bolters are working in groups of four to push back the army of the dead in an orderly manner, destroying the static position of the transport vehicles and releasing the trapped humans.

The divine servants, who once belonged to the Olympian pantheon and used spears, shields and bows as weapons, have long been advancing with the times after years of assimilation into the empire…

Isn’t a gun better than a spear?

With the reaction speed of the auxiliary army, but with a much stronger physique than the auxiliary army, the divine servants equipped with power armor and bolters are as efficient as the battalion company.

The undead warriors simply cannot resist these "big guys" who have traveled through different dimensions thousands of years ago, not to mention there are more than a hundred "big guys".

As for the Scorpion Destroyer, which was responsible for close combat and could pose a threat to the battalion terminators, they originally wanted to rely on speed and surprise to deal with the servants of the gods.

However, the movement caused by the sneak attack was so great that it was difficult for the servant of God not to notice it. He predicted the trajectory of the attack in advance and dodged, and then aimed the muzzle at the core position to deliver violent output...

boom! boom!

The number of Scorpion Destroyers, which was less than twenty, was immediately dispatched by a group of divine servants.

The greater threat to the servants of God is the snake-like expeller that uses a scorpion or snake tail to crawl and wander quickly.

These guys are extremely good at guerrillas and ambushes, especially in steel jungles like urban areas. They can rely on their solid metal bodies and powerful strength, as well as special short-term "dimensional displacement" devices to pass through layers of obstacles.

At this moment, there was a servant of God who was rushing at the front. As he was reloading, a snake-like destroyer flashed in front of him and swung two short blades at him at extremely fast speeds.

Buzz!

The hyper-phased blade penetrated the energy shield with ease.

However, this servant of God did not dodge due to the snake-style attack. Instead, he faced the phase knife forward. Before the blade was about to touch the power armor, the servant of God squatted down again and took advantage of the situation to free up his left hand and take out a plasma grenade. , and stuffed the grenade between the gaps in the metal ribs.

A test roll to break away.

boom! ! !

The extremely high temperature generated by the plasma explosion directly forced the snake-type destroyer to die.

The Snake Destroyer, which is like an assassin, is indeed a troublesome unit, but the small number deployed on this street and the rich experience of the Servants of God allowed them to be successfully eliminated.

The Locust Destroyer, which can instantly disintegrate the shields and armor of the Empire's heavy tanks and mechas, and can carry out long-range bombardment, is "taught" by Artemis alone.

This moonlight goddess does not need psychic protection. She can resist the so-called Gauss rays with her own body. She is a god no matter what. Her body structure is unique. Even the large mecha god body used by the primarchs is only hers. and “imitations” of Greek gods.

Of course, she also owns the Moonlight Armor, which is extremely expensive and unique in the empire.

She took the initiative to release the shield, blocking a faint wall of light blue light vertically across the street where they were.

boom! ! boom! !

The Gaussian ray exploded the moment it hit the light wall, and green ink flowed and scattered around.

Although one round of volleys did not successfully disintegrate the light wall, the frequency of flickering accelerated, indicating that being beaten all the time was not an option.

And she had no intention of hiding. While the accompanying divine servants were dealing with the "miscellaneous soldiers", she walked alone from behind the light wall to in front of the light wall.

call out! call out!

As soon as she arrived at a relatively open intersection, countless Gaussian rays struck her.

But Artemis, who unfolded her helmet, had a normal expression. She first raised the Moonlight Spear high and made a throwing motion, and then...

Rou~——Boom-——~! ! ! !

There was an afterimage passing by, and at the same time there was a violent sonic boom, which overturned the road and nearby vehicles, and even made a deep hole under Artemis's feet.

Uh-huh!

Just before the Gaussian ray hit her, Artemis ran at top speed, rushing through the chaotic streets like an afterimage, and rushed straight into the deployment position of the Locust Destroyer.

Immediately afterwards...

Bang!

Crack!

Click! !

After the aftermath dissipated and the smoke cleared, except for Artemis, all the Destroyers in the deployed positions were dismantled and scrapped.

Next to her feet was a half-length locust-style destroyer. Its metal head twitched uncontrollably, and sparks burst out from the cracks torn open by brute force. It also repeated something mechanically:

"Agreement...resurrection...agreement...request for resurrection..."

But Artemis didn't care what it said. She raised her left foot and stepped down.

"Poof~!" A crisp sound completely ended the last Necromancer unit nearby.

Seeing that the area was safe, Artemis recalled the Moonlight Spear and slowly moved toward the location where the accompanying divine servants gathered.

More than ten minutes ago.

After she requested support from Corax, she led her accompanying divine servants to the nearby area. Originally, she wanted to hide her whereabouts as much as possible to avoid being exposed, and waited for the arrival of the original body and the Honor Guard before making any plans.

However, after seeing countless compatriots captured, and even the emperor's heirs among the prisoners, Artemis had to change the previously designated plan based on the actual battle situation and start rescuing the captives.

Coincidentally, Corax also gave the latest reply, saying that they had captured a relatively special necromantic overlord, and with the help of the Plague Doctor, they had successfully made the other camp switch sides and given them many necromantic technologies.

As for the undead tomb where human experiments are conducted, Corax said that he would be responsible for it alone, without the assistance of other battalions and combat units.

After receiving the latest information, Artemis focused all her energy on rescuing the captives.

However, when the Moonlight Goddess dissipated the wall of light she had just created, and was about to let the Moonlight Armor relax and recharge, the word "Chuan" suddenly appeared clearly between her originally stretched eyebrows.

She immediately stopped and moved her right hand holding the Moonlight Spear back slightly, as if she had noticed something and entered a state of preparation for war. At the same time, she opened the communication to remind:

"All warnings..."

call out! call out! call out!

Before he could finish the word "alert", a large number of green beams of light were shot out from the buildings on both sides of the street.

? !

The speed of the beam was so fast that many divine servants were hit before they had time to react, and the energy shield generated by the armor was completely ineffective.

And the moment the beams actually hit the armor, it was like ink exploding, but these beams penetrated through layers of armor and came into direct contact with the skin of the servants of God.

"ah!"

"What the hell is this?!"

After being attacked, the painful cries of the servants of God were heard on the communication.

One of the servants couldn't hold on anymore and knelt down on one knee. He seemed to have trouble breathing and pulled off his helmet with his right hand.

I saw this servant of God with a square face and short light blond hair. The blood vessels under the skin revealed a light green light, and this light was like poison, spreading rapidly to the head.

Eventually, even the pupils of this divine servant began to be eroded by green light.

"Fuck..." However, before the servant fell completely, he still used his last strength to raise the bolter, judged the source of the light based on the direction of the light that hit him, and immediately pulled the trigger.

"嘡嘡!" Explosive arrows were fired.

Bolter rounds were also fired through the windows into rooms in the central area of ​​the building, causing a series of explosions.

"Forehead…"

In the end, his face fell down, and the servant of the god lay on the ground and stopped moving, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Many of the divine servants who were hit fell to the ground crookedly, but some of them relied on their super strong will to contain the "poison", and then sat paralyzed and continued to output firepower.

Artemis, who was the first to notice something was wrong, continuously dodged beam snipers from multiple angles. It seemed that the enemy also knew that she was the "highest value" assassination target.

Artemis dodged the attack, regained her balance, and threw the Moonlight Spear at one of the angles without thinking.

call!

Howling through the sky.

Bang! Bang!

Moonlight Spears rampage through the megastructure.

Crack!

When the Moonlight Spear rushed out of the open sky from the side of the giant building, there was an "Undead Warrior" stuck on the spear shaft.

The one-eyed appearance and body structure of this "undead warrior", coupled with the special "gun" he holds, make it clear at first glance that he is "not a bargain."

However, no matter how expensive it is, its "frail" appearance always makes people feel a little fragile.

"."

But Artemis's expression was even more gloomy. Even if she didn't see the appearance of the "sniper", just based on the attack method just now, she knew that the sudden attack on them was a special unit of the undead——

Death mark.

nerve crushing gun,

Five-dimensional space transmission,

Just being able to hide in the dimension between now and the past, waiting for the best time to take action, shows that they are far more difficult to deal with than the so-called Destroyers.

However…

"Plop! Plop!"

Just as Artemis was thinking about how to break the situation, the Death Mark, who was originally on the dark side and had the upper hand, "voluntarily" walked out of the five-dimensional space for no reason, jumped out of the giant building and fell to the road.
