When a group of Men of Iron mechanical troops came to the gap, the Space Wolvess had already fought with a group of Xenos machines.

The refracted beam not only destroyed part of the hull, but also destroyed the Mechanical Units in these hull structures.

In order to avoid accidents during large-scale decompression, Iax must allow troops to pass through multiple outer compartments in batches.

After all, there are a large number of Psyker living bodies inside the Sword of the Void hull.

But just such a simple delay for a while, Space Wolves people have already suffered.

Unlike those Blackstone Fortress Imperium discovered in the past.

This fortress has been awakened and activated.

And its volume is hundreds of times larger than Blackstone Fortress.

And more importantly, there are a large number of automatic guards in this Xenos Fortress.

This is the first time Astartess have encountered active and swarming Spindle Droness.

These Mechanical Unitss, which have three recurved spines at the bottom, a central single eye and a weird triangular head, also appeared in the Imperium that found Blackstone Fortress, but most of them were in the Suspended Animation state, and only a few of them had fought with Imperium.

But when Space Wolves's Thunderhawk arrived, these Spindle Drones were running around inside Fortress.

Some weird Mechanical Units are using their sharp stinging feet to try to cut some metal material on the solid bow of Sword of the Void.

And more of them are using their one-eyed eyes to release strange red Rays that sweep across the damaged locations of the fortresses.

The repair efficiency of these Machine Body is very high. No one knows what principle those weird Ray use, but the damage of the scanned Fortress is indeed gradually recovering.

It is this efficient and unique repair speed that Xenos Fortress is getting stuck on the bow of Sword of the Void.

Thunderhawk Gunship, who arrived directly, used Laser cannons and Heavy Bolter to fire at these grotesque machines.

After clearing a small landing area, the Space Wolves soldiers, who had grown stronger again, jumped directly from the tail cabin of Thunderhawk.

They wear Iax redesigned Power Armour.

The appearance is streamlined and fit, and the heavy power backpack has disappeared. Power Armour from Men of Iron shows its terrible processing and manufacturing technology.

However, many people were knocked to the ground as soon as they landed.

Among these Spindle Drones there are some larger Core Command Units.

The eccentric Xenos Machine Body uses a kind of swarm intelligence to act.

The fortress seems to be surrounded by a unique Force Field, so that even if it is damaged, it will be immersed in dirty air instead of a vacuum.

The turbid air contains very little oxygen and contains a lot of weird gas components, but that doesn't stop the Space Wolvess wearing Power Armour.

A large number of Xenos drones were traveling in the wide fortress passage with strange postures.

Dense Pulse Beam shot out from the rib-like structures on both sides of them.

This energy weapon has strange characteristics and strange kinetic energy attached to it.

If the Space Wolvess hadn't collectively replaced the Power Armour provided by Men of Iron, they might not have been beaten to the ground under such intensive firepower.

The Space Wolves warrior, who was overturned by the intensive attack, quickly got up, shaking his head that was slightly dizzy from the impact.

Their bodies are covered with dense pits.

Parts of the armor structure are even covered with cracks.

It's just that the internal composite lining prevented it from directly shattering.

After experiencing the solidity of the new Power Armour for the first time, the Space Wolvess even let out bursts of howls in the communication channel.

Excitement is spreading among the soldiers.

The Space Wolvess waved Boltgun and Power Claw towards these Xenos Machine Body and immediately launched an attack.

It is different from the heavy weapon strafing of Thunderhawk Gunship.

In front of the ordinary Boltgun, these Spindle Drones, which are not large in size, appear quite strong.

A Rune Priest of Space Wolves jumped off Thunderhawk Gunship, carrying a huge Arc Cannon in his hand.

He had used this thing before during testing, and when Men of Iron destroyed Iron Warriors Fortress World, they saw the true power of this weapon for the first time.

The excited Rune Priest carried Arc Cannon and with the assistance of several Space Wolves soldiers, he rushed alone to a passage where Xenos Mechanical Units was still pouring out.

Lights up with a shining blue light.

The terrifying electric arc burst forward at a fan-shaped angle and almost filled this giant passage that was more than ten meters wide.

Even the surrounding air is heavily ionized.

The dense positioning of these Xenos Machine Body caused them to suffer huge losses immediately.

Thousands of Xenos machines had chain explosions in an instant.

A huge shock wave even surged out from the channel.

The surrounding Space Wolves soldiers were not harmed.

After being injected with Panacea, their physical strength was greatly improved. After Rune Priest checked the new Power Armour provided by Iax, they found that they did not actually need Black Carapace to operate these amazing equipment.

The Power Armour provided by Men of Iron has a large size and a multi-layer structure.

The escaping current is directed from the outer armor into the surrounding charged air and ground.

Users inside will not be harmed at all.

If they still assemble Power Armour with Imperium technology, then their fate will be the same as those Iron Warriorss.

The mere leakage of electricity will roast them until they are at least three degrees ripe.

"Beep, warning, threat of high-energy weapons."

A red prompt flashed in Rune Priest's helmet, and there seemed to be a small red dot marked in the fire that had not been extinguished by the explosion.

Beam Weapon is almost impossible to dodge. Unless you see the muzzle or the direction of the muzzle and avoid its pointing position, it is almost certain to hit in a sneak attack.

The enemy cunningly mixed the attack with the fire caused by the explosion, which prevented Rune Priest from noticing the attack. Power Armour, which lacked intelligent auxiliary control, could not lead the user to evade on its own.

Fighting in Xenos Fortress means that the enemy may have unknown technology blessings, such as guided Over-the-Horizon Strike, etc.

Complex structures and potentially unidentified weapons, as well as a mix of factors, mean accidents can happen at any time.

"Boom."

A dull crash sounded in front of Rune Priest.

A Armed Sentinel equipped with Atomic Pulse Cannon accurately fell in front of Rune Priest and blocked this powerful beam. The thick shield that could withstand the bombardment of large artillery directly exploded under this attack.

The moment the shield shattered, the two Atomic Pulse Cannons on its shoulders fired simultaneously.

The shining beam disappeared into the passage along the position where the attack was launched.

It took several seconds for the explosion to sound from deeper in the passage.

To these reckless and foolish allies.

Iax is also somewhat helpless.

After all, the actions of living things are always unpredictable.

Men of Iron's calculations and behavior predictions often negate those inefficient or low-probability choices.

But in the action patterns of living things, there seems to be nothing that is a low-probability behavior.

Creator will also take such stupid measures similar to "seeking death".

It's just that they like to call it risky decision-making.
