Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

The automatic door opens.

A group of guys who could not be directly observed entered this corridor with silent steps.

If it is an ordinary human, they will only feel that the sensor of the automatic door is out of order, and then they will be killed secretly by these guys.

Even if they notice something is wrong, ordinary humans can't keep up with their speed of action, and they will only end up in death.

But it's a pity that they are aimed at the Astartes who are detached from mortals and have the visual aid of ceramic steel armor.

The moment Gabriel and his brothers opened the automatic door, they pulse-scanned the outlines displayed on the helmet screen, and saw that it was a group of elites equipped with special armor, who wanted to rely on stealth to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

then…

Wow! Wow!

Gabriel and the others locked onto the elite first, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Boom! Boom!

Bolt rounds hit the Elite's energy shields, forcing them to reveal themselves.

After canceling the alternative optical camouflage effect, it was discovered that the armor of this group of elites was dark silver, which was more sophisticated than the guys they met before.

The same is true for the strength of the energy shield, at least five to seven standard bolt bullets are needed to break it.

In terms of reaction speed, it is also far superior to those wearing blue helmets and red helmets.

After Gabriel and the others attacked first and completed a round of precise bursts, among the dozens of silver-armored elites who tried to sneak attack them, six survived.

This surprised Gabriel and the others who had just grown up.

Aww!

Unexpectedly, Tao Gangjia had pulse scanning, and the six elites who were caught off guard couldn't help roaring and shaking their right hands that held some kind of sword hilt.

Om~!

The hilt stretched out a double-edged energy sword with light blue light.

Then, the six silver-armored elites stared at their respective targets, and attacked Gabriel and the others at an extremely fast running speed.

Wow! Wow!

Operate the reloading bolt gun, and a few Thutmose who don't need to reload, and continue to output the six silver armor elites.

In an instant.

An elite who was hit by a 1.0cal caliber bolt bomb, the shield only helped it resist two hits, and was blasted to pieces by the remaining bolts.

Four other elites also died from the precise shooting of Thutmose, and one of them threw its energy sword with all its strength at the moment the shield was broken.

Even this desperate blow that burst out to the limit of his potential failed to hurt any Thutmose.

However, the last remaining elite, taking advantage of the vacancy of the firepower of their comrades, successfully approached Gabriel, swung the energy sword and stabbed Gabriel's neck.

Gabriel, who had been prepared for a long time, retreated a little to avoid the stabbing, and took advantage of the opportunity to make a left knee movement towards the elite.

Boom!

The energy shield helped the elite to hold the top knee, but it was also lifted up by Gabriel's strong force, and its whole body hit the bulkhead of the corridor, and then fell heavily to the deck.

Before it could struggle to get up, Gabriel's brother used several bolt bombs to completely destroy its shield and completely end its life.

...

Looking at the corpses lying on the ground, the Thutmose under the helmets had serious expressions on their faces.

After hands-on fighting, they figured out the combat organization of this alliance, and they also clearly noticed that the elites wearing different armors seemed to represent different levels of elites.

A regular team consists of five to seven Grunts, two Gnolls, and a Blue Armor Elite.

The blue-armored elite ranks against humans, and should be equivalent to non-commissioned officers such as corporal and sergeant, responsible for commanding and maintaining discipline.

As for the other regular team that Gabriel and the others had dealt with, it consisted of five to seven ghost-faced beasts.

Through this, it can be known that the number of ghost-faced beasts must far exceed that of the elites.

But during the battle, they discovered that the elites have absolute control over all races, and even the most basic blue-armored elites can command a team composed solely of ghost-faced beasts.

Finally there are elites in different armors.

The red armor is equivalent to a lieutenant with the rank of a human, commanding multiple regular squads, with a stable fighting style, unlike the blue armor elites who are impulsive and irritable.

And the Silver Armor Elite who have just been dealt with may be special forces, or a veteran squad like the Astartes Legion.

And compared to the ferocious and strong but slow-moving Brutes, elites who are comprehensive and well-balanced in all aspects pose a greater threat to their group of Astartes who are still recruits.

There may be more difficult guys to deal with.

Gabriel, who was too lazy to continue worrying, changed the ammo, walked to the side of the elite corpse he had kneeled, bent down and stretched out his left hand, and picked up the energy sword with its blade still unfolded.

The hilt is the right size.

Then he controlled his strength, and on the premise that he would not break the hilt, he used the palm of his hand to force the sensor device located in the center, and successfully retracted the radiant blade.

Do not deliberately remind.

A group of brothers also picked up the energy sword, put away the blade, and put the hilt on the absorption belt around the waist.

After all, they were reserve soldiers, and their melee weapons only included standard chainsaw swords and sixty centimeter-long titanium alloy daggers.

Ready to go.

Gabriel said in a deep voice, Go.

yes.

The next group of brothers continued to walk quickly towards the bow area, efficiently clearing out the enemies blocking the way, looking for the bridge and the golden armored commander.

—————

…

Flagship outside.

In the universe under the deep space, all kinds of artillery regiments and ballistics were drawn across, and the flames produced by the explosion flickered, indicating that the battle between the ship and the ship had not yet been decided.

It also shows that the pressure on all members of the Retribution far exceeds that of Gabriel and the others who performed the task of jumping gangs.

Close look.

The Punishment, which relies on mobility to fight guerrillas, is currently under a cockroach-type enemy ship, and its bow is also aimed at its belly.

Ri~———!

Phew~——!

The electromagnetic cannon that had completed charging fired immediately, bombarding the projectiles that could not be intercepted by conventional methods on the shield emitting purple light.

Click~——!

With just one shot, the projectile successfully completed its mission of breaking through the shield.

Although the remaining power is not enough to cause fatal damage to the cockroach, the two secondary guns that have also completed the energy storage melt through the outer armor for the projectiles and shoot into the interior.

Boom~!

The two plasma cannons successfully caused the cockroach to explode violently from the inside to the outside.

And the speed of the Retribution did not decrease at all, as if using her herself as a ram, she rushed straight to the part where the explosion occurred, using the α-titanium alloy armor that humans are most proud of, completely split the cockroach into two .

at the same time.

The three squadrons accompanying the Retribution also relied on the wreckage of the sunk enemy ship to cooperate and lure each other, and successfully destroyed a large number of enemy planes with less flexibility.

The sharp drop in the number of enemy planes finally freed up the pilots to hurry back to the hangar one by one, and let the cursing ground crew replenish the bombs for them.

As for the most threatening flagship, at this moment, due to the damage caused by the Thutmose inside, it continued to attract the attention of the enemy commander, making the flagship temporarily unable to take care of the Retribution.

Being at an absolute disadvantage, they were able to successfully destroy an enemy ship with almost the same level of technology, and both sides had different enemy ships.

but…

Another intact cockroach-type enemy ship has already completed its turn, speeding up and approaching the Retribution, and firing dense barrages.

This made the Punishment, which was unable to dodge in time, forcibly endured a lot of high-temperature artillery regiments, causing a violent explosion on the right side of the ship.

At the same time, the cockroach-shaped enemy ship once again released a large number of carrier-based aircraft, including cylindrical transport aircraft that looked like they were carrying combat troops.

Judging by this posture, the opponent also wants to force him to jump to help.

Inside the bridge.

Boom~! The explosion caused the hull to shake violently.

The starboard side was severely damaged. The explosion just now caused the main engine to approach the overload limit! Captain, we can no longer maintain the original speed!

The main gun is also affected, and it takes five minutes to be ready. The No. 2 secondary gun and five near-defense guns are offline. The missile bay on the starboard side cannot be deployed. The first maintenance team is currently trying to repair it!

But fortunately, the airborne preparation module located on the inside of the starboard side was not damaged.

The internal compartments have completed the blockade procedures, and the second and third maintenance teams will carry out emergency repairs to ensure the airtightness of the hull!

Accompanied by the explosion and shock, it was the crew who reported the damage to the Retribution.

At this time, the crew could not stop sweating, and the atmosphere of tension and death enveloped the entire bridge.

But Miranda, as the captain, had no time to be afraid, and responded after hearing the report:

Turn around, approach the starboard side of the enemy ship, notify all squadrons, and first assist the ship to deal with the enemy's carrier-based aircraft.

yes!

The crew immediately carried out Miranda's orders.

Soon, the Retribution completed its turn, and the porthole's field of vision was in the center, facing the last cockroach-type enemy ship and the enemy's carrier-based aircraft group.

Moreover, the firepower of the enemy ship has been significantly weakened, so that Miranda can be sure that the enemy has the intention to jump to the Retribution and capture them all.

From this point of view, Gabriel and Thutmose cannot be contained on the flagship side, so they need to be captured as bargaining chips.

Miranda, who had guessed the enemy's plan, was staring at the holographic screen on her right.

The image displayed on the screen is a close-up shot of the starboard side of the cockroach-type enemy ship by the Retribution in the previous engagement.

On the starboard side of the enemy ship, there were several clearly visible small-caliber cannons, railings of unknown meaning, and a huge transparent membrane emitting lavender light.

Through the film, Miranda can directly see the interior of the enemy ship.

It is a hangar where the enemy's carrier-based aircraft is parked and many round tanks or purple boxes are placed, and the film should be an air valve similar to their human technology.

Want to join the gang? Are you looking down on us ordinary humans? Miranda looked away from the screen, looked out of the porthole again, and continued to order:

Launch the only catastrophe nuclear bomb of this ship, and all the remaining missiles as a cover to destroy the shield of the enemy ship.

yes!

Notify the captains and second lieutenants who are on standby, and prepare for close combat with the enemy...

After speaking, Miranda paused, looked around at everyone present, and said emotionally:

It's not defense, but offense! Since this ship can no longer conduct guerrillas and the fire control system is also seriously damaged, then we will take the enemy ship and use it!

Yes! Captain!

Inspired by Miranda, the morale of the crew returned to the peak.

And before the words fell, dozens of missiles sprang out from the port launch bay of the Punishment, adjusted their angles, and shot towards the enemy ship at an extremely fast speed.

Through the portholes, everyone could directly see that the enemy ship's close-in defense system started to operate, shooting out fairly dense small blue artillery groups, trying to intercept missiles.

Humans and the Alliance technology have their own winners and losers, which is particularly prominent at this moment.

The blue light artillery group only intercepted one-third, and let the rest of the missiles hit the shield, including the one carrying the Havoc.

Boom~!

The sun rose suddenly, illuminating this universe.

The light lasted only a few seconds.

When the sun dissipated, the shield also shattered and collapsed, temporarily opening the enemy ship's door.

Although the nuclear bomb cannot exert its maximum power in the space sea battle, and the breaking point effect is not as good as that of the 10-ton and 15-ton electromagnetic guns, but it is enough to tear the shield of the cockroach.

The Alliance has the technology to prevent electromagnetic pulses. After all, it can navigate in the vacuum of space, and the defense against electromagnetic pulses is the foundation.

But they rely too much on plasma-like energy weapons, and they don't have live ammunition weapons at all. At least during the battle on the Retribution, they didn't find that the enemy ship had live ammunition weapons.

Even the cooling system is not that good, and the rate of fire is not as good as the 300mm plasma secondary gun.

If the enemy ship has a rate of fire of 18,000 rounds per minute and can launch 35mm shells without shells for contact explosion, then there is a way to intercept the missile attack just now.

But they don't.

———————

…

Retribution's port side.

Airborne preparation compartment.

On fifteen slide rails, it is a derivative of the single-person track assault pod, which can accommodate 4 people in a medium-sized assault or airborne pod.

Located in the airborne pod on the No. 1 slide rail are the second lieutenant and three fully armed paratroopers.

Bastards! The second lieutenant said loudly on the team communication:

I heard that Madam Captain wants to change to a bigger ship, so we have to join two companies of marines to forcibly land inside the enemy ship, clean up the debris, and capture the enemy ship!

And our first task is to create a green environment for the Marine Corps so that the transport formation can land smoothly. Do you hear me clearly? !

We jump into hell first! Sir! the paratroopers responded in unison.

At this time, the green light in the airborne pod was lit.

See here.

The second lieutenant immediately pulled the lever in front of him, and screamed strangely: Hey! The fun has begun!

Following the movement of the second lieutenant, the airborne pod uses the slide rail to accelerate the ejection.

And the moment it rushed out of the ship, flames were sprayed from the nozzle on the roof of the cabin, which further accelerated the airborne cabin.

I saw the Retribution passing the enemy ship at close range, resisting the small-caliber artillery regiment, and then aimed the ship's belly at the starboard side of the enemy ship, ejecting thirty airborne pods.

Then the airborne pod broke through the firepower net at a speed no less than that of a missile, carrying a group of combat lunatics, and rushed straight to the hangar of the enemy ship.

Followed by a formation of transport aircraft escorted by a combat squadron.

The two ships passed each other.

However, the Punishment, which lost its original speed and most of its artillery, could no longer withstand the next round of salvos from the enemy ships.

However, the combat lunatics seized the opportunity created by the Retribution and successfully broke into the interior of the enemy ship.

As the second lieutenant put it, the fun begins.
