Chapter 711: Encountering an Attack (3)
"Blast that largest breach for me! High-explosive Shell!"
Kang Xingjin roared into the Communication Device.
"Reload complete! Aim!"
The Leman Russ Tank turret roared as it rotated, its thick barrel pointing toward the building with the densest firepower, the massive hole continuously spewing blue light!
Boom—!
A deafening cannon blast! The High-explosive Shell whistled out!
However, the moment the shell was about to hit the breach, two deep blue Energy Beams shot out from a higher, more concealed position, precisely intercepting the shell in mid-air!
Boom!!!
The shell detonated in mid-air! The shockwave and shrapnel instead caused secondary casualties to the Human Alliance and Krieg soldiers advancing below!
"What!"
Seeing the shell fired by the Leman Russ Tank intercepted, Kang Xingjin's eyes widened involuntarily; he had never seen a Leman Russ Tank shell be intercepted until now.
"High-threat heavy unit detected.
Execute 'Shield Breaker' protocol.
Interference squad, maintain suppression."
C18R3's command was issued within the Cyberk Consciousness Network.
In the ruins, several Cyberk Infantry changed their firing modes.
The Energy Rifles fired rounds of special electromagnetic adhesive shells, specifically targeting the armored units.
At the same time, 2 Cyberk soldiers appeared from the high-level ruins.
Their arm armor slid open, revealing shoulder-mounted anti-armor launchers!
A thick, deep blue Energy Beam and a missile trailing a tail flame, equipped with an Elemental Energy Block, instantly locked onto the side armor of the Leman Russ Tank, which was exposed while reloading!
Boom! Sizzle—!
The Energy Beam hit first! The thick side armor was instantly melted and softened!
Immediately after, the missile slammed into the same spot!
A violent explosion mixed with the light of energy annihilation!
The Leman Russ Tank side armor was completely torn apart, and flames and thick smoke from a secondary explosion erupted from within!
This Steel Fortress instantly turned into a pile of burning scrap metal!
"High-threat heavy unit detected (cleared).
Secondary threat: armored vehicle units (x11).
Execute 'Shield Breaker' protocol. Interference squad, maintain suppression."
Cyberk Company Commander C18R3's cold command circulated in the Consciousness Network.
In the ruins, 20 Cyberk Infantry responsible for interference immediately executed the order.
The Energy Rifles in their hands no longer sought to kill exposed infantry but switched to a special firing mode.
Zzzzz—Hum!
High-frequency pulse beams and special electromagnetic adhesive shells shot toward those Chimera Armored Vehicles that were fighting back with Multi-lasers!
The effect was immediate!
Sizzle!
The roof Laser Cannon turret of a Chimera was instantly hit by a pulse beam; the turret's rotation mechanism made a harsh grinding sound, then jammed!
The gunner slapped the control lever.
Bang! Zzz…
Another Chimera's observation lens was plastered over by an adhesive shell, and the internal screen was instantly covered in interference static!
The driver and vehicle commander were instantly blinded!
There was also a Chimera attempting to reverse to evade; its tracks were hit by a precise adhesive shell, and the viscous, highly conductive substance instantly wrapped around the drive wheel and track plates, the powerful electromagnetic interference causing the drive motor to overload and smoke!
"My turret is jammed!"
"I can't see! I can't see anything!"
"The tracks are stuck! Can't move!"
Just as the armored vehicles fell into chaos, high in the ruins, the Cyberk anti-armor soldiers who had just destroyed the Leman Russ locked onto their targets again.
Their shoulder-mounted launchers flickered with the ghostly light of charging.
"Target priority: engine and side armor weak points. Synchronized strike."
Swish—! Sizzle—!
A thick, deep blue Energy Beam hit the side of a Chimera whose tracks were stuck and was struggling in vain!
The Energy Beam hit precisely at the junction of the engine compartment and the crew compartment, melting a large hole in the thick armor and exposing the complex pipelines inside!
Almost at the same instant!
Boom!!!
A special armor-piercing missile trailing a tail flame followed closely, precisely drilling into the melted breach!
A violent explosion erupted from inside the Chimera!
The entire armored vehicle was burst open from within, the hull twisted and deformed, the hatch was blown off, and burning debris and human remains scattered everywhere!
This was just the beginning!
Dozens of Cyberk anti-armor soldiers locked on, charged, and fired!
Their movements were so fluid there wasn't a single pause!
The second Chimera, which was firing wildly with its jammed turret, had its turret ring melted through by an Energy Beam, and the subsequent missile exploded inside the turret, blowing the entire turret off!
The third Chimera, having lost its vision and spinning in place, had its side armor melted open by an energy beam; a missile pierced into the crew compartment, and the interior instantly turned into a sea of fire!
The fourth...
Every flash of blue light and roar of explosion meant another Chimera had turned into a burning wreck!
The attacks of the Cyberk were precise and lethal.
"No! Scatter! Scatter quickly!"
Kang Xingjin roared into his communication device, but in the chaos, very few vehicles could hear his orders.
He saw the commander of a Chimera further back seemingly regain some vision, attempting to reverse and escape this death zone.
"Target attempting to disengage. Adjusting priority."
C18R3's instructions updated in real-time.
A Cyberk anti-armor soldier immediately turned their muzzle, and an energy beam instantly melted through the fragile rear engine cooling grille of that Chimera!
A missile whistled in, piercing from the rear and exploding violently inside the power compartment! The entire vehicle was blasted upward at the front, then slammed down heavily, completely totaled.
In less than two short minutes, 11 of the 12 Chimera Armored Vehicles had turned into burning steel tombs on the street!
Thick smoke billowed, and the stench of burning mixed with the smell of ozone was nauseating.
The driver of the last Chimera slammed on the accelerator, the engine let out an overloaded roar, and the Chimera Armored Vehicle stopped evading, charging straight toward the ruins where the Cyberk anti-armor soldier was located!
A remaining Heavy Bolter on the roof was still spitting tongues of fire in vain!
"Futile resistance. Terminate it."
C18R3's voice was without a ripple.
The Cyberk anti-armor soldier stood calmly in place, not even intending to dodge.
Several other Cyberk soldiers used their Lingxing Nengliang Bizhun to prop up a shield wall, blocking the incoming Bolter rounds.
The launchers on their shoulders lit up again.
Swish! Swish!
Zzzzt! Boom!
One energy beam precisely melted through the track on one side of the Chimera! Another hit the front of the vehicle charging at high speed directly!
Boom—!!!
The front of the Chimera twisted, deformed, and flipped upward in the violent explosion!
The entire vehicle tumbled under inertia toward the position of the Cyberk soldiers, but it was completely torn apart in mid-air by the internal detonation of its ammunition!
The burning wreckage scattered in front of the ruins, just a few meters away from the Cyberk soldiers, but failed to harm them in the slightest.
On the street, only the burning Chimera and Leman Russ wrecks remained.
And the soldiers making their final stand.
