Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Chapter 144 Killing the Tech-Priest

"Counterattack, counterattack." A high-level technical priest roared orders on the communication channel.

In the fierce wave of melta bomb attacks just now, more than a dozen technical priests who came to stop the attack of the Star Space Marines were killed, which made the technical priest in charge of leading the team extremely angry.

Under the command of the high-ranking technical priest, the rest of the technical priests took up their weapons and continued to attack the oncoming Star Space Marines, using various powerful weapons such as grenade launchers, plasma pistols, melta laser beams, etc.

They roared and attacked the Star Space Marines. The attacks launched by these powerful weapons were all defended by the Star Space Marines. These attacks caused ripples in the void, but posed no threat to the Star Space Marines.

Both sides kept shooting at each other with various weapons in their hands. Now the competition was about whose shield would be broken first, or whose Star Marine would get close to the Tech Priest first.

"Rumble"

A violent explosion sounded among the technical priests. The energy shield of a technical priest was shattered by the bullets fired from the endless Ripper rifle. The bullets that followed penetrated the technical priest's steel body and hit the energy backpack on the technical priest's back, causing a violent explosion.

"00"

A technical priest looked at the technical priest who was killed in the explosion and couldn't help but roar in grief and anger. The binary code used by the technical priest was understood by no one except the members of the Mechanicus.

Just as the tech-priest was sinking into sorrow, the Star Space Marines had already rushed into the crowd of tech-priests despite their fierce attacks.

The Star Marine took the power sword and swung it towards the Tech Priest in front of him. The energy shield, which was indestructible under the attack of guns, did not react at all when the power sword was swung, as if it did not exist.

In the Warhammer universe, all shields basically only defend against attacks that are too fast, and these shields are of no help against close-range attacks. After all, even the speed of a Space Marine's sword cannot keep up with the speed of the bullet and cannot cause the energy shield to react.

"clang clang"

Facing the Space Marine's power sword, the Tech-Priest swung the giant power axe in his hand to meet it. There was a loud noise when the two power swords collided. The two men attacked each other quickly and fought fiercely for a while.

The multiple mechanical arms on the back of the technical priest also used various weapons to continuously attack the Space Marines, including laser guns, melta flamethrowers, and large pliers.

When the Star Marines faced the attacks of the Tech-Priests' multiple mechanical arms, it was like facing several enemies attacking at the same time. For a moment, the Marines looked rather embarrassed, and they kept using the power swords in their hands to chop off the incoming attacks.

"Swish!" The Star Marine's power sword swiftly slashed out, severing one of the Tech-Priest's attacking mechanical arms. He then turned and kicked the Tech-Priest away. The massive Tech-Priest's chest was dented by the Marine's ferocious kick, leaving a deep dent in the solid alloy.

The Tech-Priest didn't seem panicked at all when he was kicked out. The weapons mounted on his mechanical arms continued to fire at the Space Marines, blocking the Space Marines who wanted to get closer.

After kicking the Tech Priest away, the Star Marine pulled out the plasma pistol from his waist and pulled the trigger at the Tech Priest. A flash of blue light appeared and the Tech Priest, who wanted to dodge the attack, had no leverage in mid-air and could only watch as the plasma beam pierced his body.

"Bang" the technical priest fell heavily to the ground, and a large number of energy circuits inside his body were destroyed by the plasma beam. Although the technical priest was not dead, he was just seriously injured.

The Tech Priest's body has been deeply transformed, and his vitality is extremely strong. He has lost his vital parts and will not die from serious injuries. However, the Tech Priest has lost control of his body.

The Tech-Priest lying on the ground could only turn his mechanical eyes and look at the approaching Star Marines. After the Star Marines approached the Tech-Priest, they used their power swords to chop off the Tech-Priest's heads.

The Star Marine held the Tech-Priest's head in his right hand and let the Tech-Priest look at his headless body. The Tech-Priest turned his mechanical electronic eyes and looked at the Marine in confusion, not understanding what the Marine was doing.

After replacing the magazine of his Ripper rifle, the Star Marine fired a shot at the Tech Priest's body. "Boom!" The Tech Priest's body instantly burst into flames. Within ten seconds, the Tech Priest's body had disappeared, leaving only a charred hole in its place.

The Star Marine said to the Tech-Priest's head, "Your mind should contain some knowledge that the Star Lord is interested in, so you can keep your head."

After Xingchen Xingji finished speaking, he hung the technical priest's head around his waist and continued to rush towards another battlefield with the Ripper rifle.

Although the Tech-Priests' melee strength is also very strong, they are still slightly inferior to the Star Marines who were specially created by the Star Lord to break through the formation in close combat.

Dozens of technical priests faced the twenty-five Star Marines and were quickly defeated. All the technical priests were killed by the Star Marines, leaving their heads hanging on their waists, which made the Star Marines look even more terrifying and barbaric.

"Captain, all the oil men have been killed."

After the battle, all the Space Marines gathered together and a combat team leader reported to the team leader.

The captain looked at the mechanical heads hanging on the waists of all the Space Marines and couldn't help but smile and said:

"Look at what you look like now, like a rude barbarian."

"Captain, you have trophies hanging around your waist too, and you still have the nerve to criticize us."

"The captain is also a barbarian."

Hearing the captain's ridicule, all the Space Marines became unhappy and began to retort.

"Yes, I am a barbarian too. Hahahaha"

The team leader couldn't help but laugh at the mechanical head hanging on his waist, admitting that he was also a barbarian. After seeing the captain admit it, everyone stopped talking.

"Tap Tap"

Just as the Space Marines were resting, heavy footsteps were heard outside the hall, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

The team leader checked the communication channel and found that the one coming was not his own Dreadnought. He immediately gave a loud order on the communication channel:

"Enemy support is coming, take cover quickly."

The Space Marines who were still resting, under the captain's command, quickly rushed to the back of the nearby bunker, entered the bunker and looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from.
