"Enemy attack! Kill them! Open fire!"
The squad leader among the three Fleet Iron Guards shouted and took the lead, firing a barrage of beams forward from the rapid-fire laser cannon mounted beneath his right arm.
Another squad member also fired his rapid-fire laser cannon.
The two rapid-fire laser cannons hurled beams forward at 2,000 rounds per minute, filling the corridor ahead with explosive cracks.
The Eldar corridor seemed to use some kind of light-absorbing material. The beams quickly dimmed after being fired, and the Fleet Iron Guards could not see what lay ahead at all.
Even adjusting their helmets' multispectral cameras did nothing. Thermal imaging showed nothing but white ahead, while the low-light display was completely black, so they could only observe with their naked eyes.
This was a standard Fleet Iron Guard squad. The leader handled command as well as operating high-tech weaponry.
His equipment consisted of a rapid-fire laser cannon mounted beneath his right arm, a plasma self-defense pistol, a Power Sword, and a shoulder-mounted 300 mm rocket Missile Launcher.
Next was the fire support trooper, with a rapid-fire laser cannon mounted beneath his right arm, a high-powered Plasma Gun on his left arm, and a disposable miniature Missile Launcher pod on his shoulder.
The heavy trooper held a ceramite shield the size of a door in his left hand and an automatic 60 mm grenade launcher in his right. An enormous ammunition box on his back held 300 grenades, fed through a mechanical ammunition belt.
A small-caliber Laser Emitter sat on his shoulder, firing Lasrifle-level beams for self-defense.
The firepower the three Fleet Iron Guards unleashed in an instant rivaled that of an armored platoon equipped with three Chimera Transports.
