Chapter 837: The First Battle of the Fengqi Star Alliance (5)

Inside the main warship of the Weiguang Fleet, at the intersection of the Seventh Corridor.

This corridor is relatively narrow, originally used for transporting important supplies and personnel, but at this moment, it has become a corridor of death.

The Fifth Squad, led by War Dog Sergeant Dexi, is advancing rapidly along the corridor toward the designated rendezvous point.

Their Power Armor is already covered in new scratches and scorch marks, and the muzzles of their Bolters are still emitting wisps of blue smoke.

Just as they pass a T-junction, a sudden change occurs!

From the side corridor, a group of figures suddenly surges out!

They are wearing dark purple Power Armor that is thicker than that of ordinary Fengqi soldiers, with ferocious-looking helmets and eyepieces flickering with cold blue light.

The weapons in their hands are also clearly superior—the muzzles of their Heavy Energy Rifles are condensing dangerous energy, Weixingdaodanfashesuo are mounted on their arms, and the melee weapons at their waists gleam with the cold light of Monomolecular Blades.

Their movements are swift and coordinated; they are clearly an elite assault squad, and their numbers are half again as many as the War Dog Squad.

The two sides encounter each other in the narrow corridor, at extremely close range!

There is almost no time to react!

"Enemy contact! On the left!"

Sergeant Dexi's warning and the roar of the opposing leader ring out simultaneously!

"For the Fengqi Star Alliance! Annihilate them!"

No probing, no retreating!

The narrow space and the sudden encounter render any complex tactics meaningless; there is only the most direct exchange of fire and close-quarters combat.

"For the Emperor! Open fire!"

Dexi roars, and the Bolter in his hand is the first to spit out shells!

The War Dog Space Marines instantly spread out to find limited angles of evasion, their Bolters roaring in unison!

The massive sound is deafening within the narrow corridor!

The Fengqi Assault Team members react just as quickly!

They either lunge sideways to take cover behind the corridor corner or instantly drop and roll, their Heavy Energy Rifles firing at the same time!

Denser, faster-firing energy beams shoot out!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom!

Zzz-hum! Zzz-hum! Zzz-hum!

The sound of Bolter explosions and the hissing of energy instantly interweave.

The corridor is completely covered by a lethal web of fire!

One War Dog Space Marine's shoulder is hit repeatedly by energy beams; his Ceramite Armor is burned through, and the heat flows into his flesh, causing him to grunt and his movements to lag!

Another War Dog Space Marine's leg armor is showered with sparks from the fire, leaving deep molten pits.

A Fengqi Assault Team member attempts to aim with a shoulder-fired missile, but just as he exposes half his body, he is precisely hit in the chest by two Bolter shells.

Even thick Power Armor cannot fully withstand a direct Bolter hit at such close range; the chest plate instantly caves in and shatters, and the man is slammed hard against the wall by the massive kinetic energy, slumping down.

Another member's helmet is grazed by a stray Bolter shell; the eyepiece instantly fills with cracks, and blood seeps out from the gaps.

"Charge! Crush them!"

Seeing that a round of exchange fire failed to instantly overwhelm the enemy and that his own men were wounded, Dexi's rage is instantly ignited.

He knows well that in a narrow corridor exchange, the enemy's high-rate-of-fire Energy Weapons have the advantage; they must close the distance.

"For Fengqi! Kill!"

The Fengqi Assault Team leader also issues the order for melee combat!

The corridor is narrow, with nowhere to retreat! Only a fight to the death!

The two sides collide!

The roar of the Chainaxe and the clash of the Monomolecular Blade ring out.

Sergeant Dexi's Chainaxe hacks toward the opposing leader, who extends his thick arms to cross-block.

Two curved monomolecular combat blades pop out from his arm armor!

Clang!!!!

Sparks fly everywhere.

The teeth of the Chainaxe are stuck fast against the strange combat blades, unable to advance an inch for a moment.

The opposing leader is knocked back half a step by the immense force, and his arm armor emits the sound of fine cracks!

On the other side, a War Dog Space Marine smashes his fist into an assault team member's blocking Energy Rifle, causing the rifle to deform.

But another Fengqi Assault Team member's energy dagger stabs into the joint gap of this War Dog Space Marine's thigh armor.

The energy field on the dagger destroys the internal Servo System and muscle tissue.

"Urgh!"

The War Dog Space Marine roars in pain, his mobility immediately compromised, and he is instantly slashed on his back armor by the Energy Swords of two other assault team members, leaving deep scorch marks.

During the close-quarters struggle, a Fengqi Assault Team member, seeing his comrade cut in half by a Chainaxe, flashes a strange purple light in his eyes; he abandons his defense and pushes both hands forward violently!

A shockwave carrying the power of psychic corruption slams into the chest of the War Dog Space Marine facing him.

This War Dog Space Marine feels a wave of intense nausea and dizziness; the sensors inside his Power Armor emit chaotic alarms, and his movements slow by half a beat.

In that very instant, the Monomolecular Blade of another assault team member on the flank strikes, piercing into the side of his helmet.

The War Dog Space Marine's body stiffens, his Chainaxe hangs limply, and he falls to the ground with a thud.

"Brother!"

Nearby War Dog Space Marines let out angry roars, their attacks becoming even more frenzied.

Dexi also notices that psychic-like attack method!

He exerts force suddenly, the Chainaxe vibrating, and he forcibly saws through one of the opposing leader's combat blades, the axe blade continuing on to hack into the opponent's shoulder armor.

But the opposing Captain endured the excruciating pain and used his remaining combat blade to stab at Draksi's abdomen!

Puchi!

The combat blade pierced through the Ceramite and stabbed several inches into his body.

Draksi let out a muffled grunt, but ignoring the injury, he gripped his other hand into a fist and smashed it fiercely into the opposing Captain's face!

One punch, two punches...

Crack!

The helmet shattered completely, and the skull inside exploded under the immense force!

The Fengqi Assault Team did not collapse after losing their Captain; instead, they attacked even more crazily.

But the War Hounds, relying on their superior individual strength and the fires of vengeance, gradually gained the upper hand!

A Chainaxe tore apart the last assault trooper who had attempted to fire at close range with an Energy Rifle, and the battle finally ended.

The corridor was deathly silent, the floor covered in the corpses and severed limbs of soldiers from both sides, blue and red blood mixing together.

Sergeant Dexi leaned on his Chainaxe, breathing heavily, as waves of sharp pain radiated from the wound in his abdomen.

He looked around, and his heart sank.

Six team members: two killed in action, one severely wounded, and including himself, everyone was injured.

He looked at the corpses of those Fengqi Assault Team members, especially the Captain whose head he had smashed, and the soldier who had emitted an eerie purple glow.

These enemies... were strong.

Their equipment was excellent, their tactical coordination was tacit, their fighting will was tenacious, and there was even the suspected presence of a Psionic.

If not for the superhuman physique and recovery abilities of the Space Marines, it very well could have been them lying here.

"Mark the location, we continue forward!"

Dexi's voice was somewhat heavy.

"The follow-up reinforcements will recover our brothers' Gene-seed... also, take care to inspect the equipment and corpses of those enemies, especially that guy who could emit purple light. They... are not simple."

"Yes!"
