Thud, thud, thud.
Heavy footsteps entered the hall. The hidden Space Marines finally saw their visitors clearly: ten five-meter-tall Kastelan Robots, their hard ceramite alloy armor painted in the colors of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
These Kastelan Robots had enormous power fists mounted on both hands, capable of easily tearing through thick armor plating. A massive Incendine Combustor was also mounted on each of their shoulders.
Behind the ten Kastelan Robots followed a Datasmith, the one responsible for commanding them in battle. These Kastelan Robots required a Datasmith's command in order to carry out various tasks.
Controlled by doctrine chips, these Kastelan Robots were absolutely loyal to their Datasmiths. However, to deploy them into battle, the Datasmith had to manually input combat orders into the doctrine chips before the Kastelan Robots could execute them perfectly.

The Datasmith's electronic eyes also scanned and discovered the hidden Star Space Marines. He immediately issued an order to the Kastelan Robots standing in front.
When these Kastelan Robots had been activated, the Datasmith had already entered information about the Star Space Marines who had infiltrated the warship into their doctrine chips.

Blazing fireballs shot toward the Space Marines. The Kastelan Robots' engines ran at full power as they charged at the Space Marines in great strides.
"Attack! Eliminate these robots!"
The Space Marine squad captain crouched behind cover and watched the Kastelan Robots attack. He understood that they had been discovered, and there was no point
