Chapter 781: Breaking Through the Outer City Wall of the First Defense Zone (2)

~6 min read 1,196 words

"That's it! Father! The Giant Weapon Factory!"

During the recent battle, Sanguinius had even flown up to locate the general position of the Giant Weapon Factory.

The continuous fighting caused the number of Saiboke soldiers appearing in the Outer City to gradually increase.

"High-value target detected! Coordinates confirmed! Reinforcements! Requesting reinforcements!"

Among the remaining Saiboke soldiers below, one that was clearly a command model issued new orders.

Immediately following this, a shrill alarm sounded from the direction of the Inner City.

More lights illuminated on the city wall, and several turrets began to rotate slowly, their thick muzzles pointing toward the platform where they were located.

In the distance, the roar of engines approached from afar; clearly, a rapid response force was on its way.

They were exposed, and they were right in the center of the fire coverage!

"Sanguinius! Corax! Clear the remnants! Prepare to move!"

"Selina! Scan the factory's defensive nodes and find the weak points!"

"Scanning... High-density Energy Shield detected, model K-7b, periodic fluctuations present... Automatic Turret array, coordinates marked..."

Selina's eyes flickered, pale green data streams scrolling deep within her pupils, as she reported the scan results in a calm tone.

Sanguinius transformed once again into a golden storm, pouncing on the remaining ambushers, while Corax's shadow wove through the fire of explosions and rising dust, harvesting the stragglers.

Dalton clutched his toolbox tightly, looking at the terrifying factory and the turning muzzles in the distance, then at Yingzhou and the fighting Primarchs beside him, and finally, his gaze landed on Selina, who was precisely analyzing the battlefield; his expression was extremely complex.

Huo Ke, behind a relatively safe bunker below, looked up at the figures on the high platform illuminated by the gunfire, as well as the Steel Fortress in the distance, and muttered to himself.

"My god... they... are they really going to attack that Giant Weapon Factory? With just these few people?"

Hearing Huo Ke's words, the Cadian soldier frowned slightly, but considering his task was to protect these survivors, he gave a light cough and explained in an impatient tone.

"Ahem, this survivor, those are two Primarchs! They are the Emperor's sons! With the Emperor here in person, this battle will end very soon."

After hearing the Cadian soldier's words, Huo Ke also sensed the impatience in the other's tone.

These soldiers were all summoned by that Emperor, and his own words just now must have offended them. Fortunately, the other party wasn't too petty...

Just as Huo Ke was thinking this, the Cadian soldier's words sent a chill down his spine.

"Watch your mouth in the future, otherwise, your remarks might very well cost you your life."

"Yes! Understood!"

"Cleanup complete!"

Sanguinius retracted his Power Spear, which was stained with viscous coolant and metal fragments, the holy radiance on his wings dispelling the lingering smell of gunpowder in the air.

Corax appeared silently at Yingzhou's side, raised an eyebrow, and gave Yingzhou an "OK" gesture.

Father, I won't say a word, I'll remain quiet the whole time, don't worry.

Yingzhou naturally saw Corax's gesture but said nothing; now that he knew the location of the Saiboke Giant Weapon Factory, a direct frontal breakthrough of the city wall was the fastest method.

The remaining Saiboke soldiers had been thoroughly purged by the thunderous methods of the two Primarchs, leaving only twisted, smoking wreckage all over the ground.

However, the shrill alarm from the direction of the Inner City and the increasingly close roar of engines were like death-knell drumbeats, pounding in everyone's hearts.

The muzzles of the turrets were slowly aiming at the platform where they were located, and energy was gathering at the muzzles.

"Target exposed, enemy reinforcements arriving soon."

Selina's eyes swept across the direction of the Inner City Wall and the Giant Weapon Factory, her voice devoid of ripples.

"Suggest changing position immediately to evade the first round of shelling."

Yingzhou looked toward the massive metal city wall that separated the inner and outer worlds.

In the direction of the Giant Weapon Factory, the city wall appeared particularly tall and sturdy, covered with energy nodes and automatic defensive weapons.

"Toward the Giant Weapon Factory."

Yingzhou made a quick decision and said immediately.

"Sherlock, Dalton, have Corax make them keep up! Sanguinius, cover the flanks! Selina, continue scanning!"

"Yes!"

Sherlock and Dalton suppressed the fear and anxiety in their hearts regarding the Giant Weapon Factory, gritted their teeth, and followed.

Yingzhou charged toward the city wall first, golden Psionic energy circulating around his body, forming an invisible barrier that deflected the occasional stray bullets.

Sanguinius's wings of light spread out, following closely on Yingzhou's left; any attack coming from any direction would be instantly shattered by him.

Seeing that Sherlock and Dalton were moving too slowly, Corax picked one up in each hand and, before the two could react, followed behind Yingzhou.

Selina followed Yingzhou precisely, her pace without the slightest disorder, continuously reporting the subtle changes in the factory's defense system and the movements of the reinforcements.

The group charged toward that massive Inner City Wall.

The closer they got, the more they could feel its oppressive weight.

The cold metal surface reflected the light of the Inner City searchlights and was covered with Energy Shield Generators and bases for Automatic Turrets; at this moment, most of the muzzles were turned toward the direction of the junkyard.

"Father! The city wall defense system is activating! Energy readings are skyrocketing! Do you want me to fly up and take them out?"

Sanguinius sensed the dangerous energy fluctuations and spoke up.

Just as they were a few dozen meters from the city wall, several muzzles on the wall suddenly lit up.

Thick Energy Beams tore through the air and shot down with a boom.

The target was precisely the high-speed moving Yingzhou squad.

"Hmph!"

Yingzhou let out a cold snort, and an unprecedented light erupted from his body; a solid Psionic Shield expanded instantly, enveloping the entire squad!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Energy Beams slammed into the light shield, erupting with deafening roars and blinding light bursts.

The shield vibrated violently; Yingzhou's figure was not affected in the slightest, but the ground beneath his feet had already cracked and sunk, as he forcibly withstood this round of shelling.

The dissipated energy shockwave blew away the surrounding junk and wreckage.

"Now is the time!"

Yingzhou's eyes narrowed; in the brief interval between artillery barrages, he had already rushed to the foot of the city wall.

Facing this incomparably thick city wall, he did not hesitate in the slightest.

Pale golden spiritual energy gathered and compressed frantically in the palm of his right hand.

The light grew increasingly intense, emitting energy fluctuations that made one's heart palpitate.

A massive sword of light, formed purely from condensed spiritual energy, took shape in his hand.

Wisps of tangible golden flames flowed along the sword's body, and the pressure it emitted made Sherlock and Dalton behind him nearly suffocate.

"Break!"

Yingzhou let out a low shout and swung his arm! The massive spiritual energy sword, carrying the power to split the heavens and earth, slashed fiercely toward the heavy alloy city wall!
