Chapter 932: Firefight in the Chao Mo Asteroid Belt (2)

~7 min read 1,261 words

An agile Keso soldier used the ceiling pipes to maneuver, attacking an Iron Warriors Astartes from the side with a thermal blade.

Although his movements were fast, they were still a beat too slow compared to the enhanced reaction speed of the Astartes.

That Iron Warriors Astartes turned, swung his Chainsword, parried the thermal blade, and followed through with a slash that cut the Keso soldier and his exoskeleton in two!

Blood and viscera sprayed onto the corridor wall.

Faced with Astartes who had undergone genetic enhancement, were well-equipped, and possessed fanatical Faith, the resistance of the Fengqi soldiers appeared extremely feeble.

From time to time, Iron Warriors Astartes would fall after being hit in their joints or helmet observation slits by heavy fire, or be wounded by the sudden outburst of a Psionic.

On the bridge of the Frigate, the last officer detonated the reactor.

The explosion Devoured this Frigate along with a portion of the Iron Warriors Cruiser that had seized it.

Just as the Iron Warriors Legion was smashing through the defenses of one Fengqi ship after another, the Luna Wolves Legion fleet cut into the Fengqi fleet formation from the flanks and rear.

A Luna Wolves Destroyer closed in on a Fengqi Destroyer that was turning to use its broadside fire to block the Iron Warriors.

The crew of the Fengqi Destroyer were fully occupied dealing with the fire from the Iron Warriors ships pressing in from the front, and by the time the sensors on the flank captured the rapidly approaching high-speed target, it was already too late.

"High-speed Boarding Pod detected approaching! Starboard side!"

Several Boarding Pods with sharp rams pierced the weak areas of the Destroyer's starboard side, near the armor seams of the engine room and the base of a secondary turret.

"Starboard side boarded! Repeat, starboard side boarded! Location at Sector B-7 and Sector C-3!"

The Destroyer captain stared at the glaring red intrusion signals on the internal structure map and ordered.

"All reserves, reinforce Sector B-7 and C-3 immediately! Seal all corridors leading to the engine room and the bridge! Activate internal defense systems!" Lieutenant Colonel Tuoleike's voice was hoarse with tension, "You must not let them..."

Before his order was finished, the sound of explosions and the distinct gunfire of Bolters came from the C-level corridor near the bridge!

A Fengqi defense squad led by a Fengqi Sergeant had just established a temporary defensive line in the main C-level corridor.

The Fengqi soldiers gripped their Energy Rifles tightly, fingers on the triggers.

These powerful fleets that had appeared suddenly far exceeded the intensity of the war they had previously imagined.

The emergency airtight door at the end of the corridor buckled inward, deformed, and was then kicked open by a massive force!

Several figures wearing gray-white Power Armor appeared.

"For Horus and the Emperor!"

The leading Luna Wolves Sergeant, the sensors on his helmet flashing red, raised the Bolter in his hand and fired.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two Fengqi soldiers who had just poked their heads out from behind cover had their helmets and the skulls inside exploded! The debris splattered onto the bulkhead behind them.

"Fire!"

The Fengqi Sergeant roared hoarsely.

Dense energy beams shot toward the corridor entrance.

The Luna Wolves Astartes raised their Boarding Shields and charged forward rapidly, while the Luna Wolves Astartes behind them activated their Chainswords, preparing for close-quarters combat.

"Suppress them! We need heavy fire!"

The Fengqi Sergeant shouted into his Communication Device.

Suddenly, a gray-white figure swept over the pipes above.

"Above!"

A Fengqi soldier pointed at the ceiling in terror.

This Luna Wolves Astartes smashed directly into the middle of the defense squad!

A sweep of the Chainsword in his hand cut the two closest Fengqi soldiers in half at the waist!

The Bolter Pistol in his other hand fired point-blank, shattering the skull of a third Fengqi soldier who was turning to fire.

The defensive line collapsed instantly.

The Fengqi Sergeant roared as he turned his muzzle, but the Luna Wolves Astartes who had landed was already rushing toward him.

The Chainsword collided with the Energy Rifle that Laerke had hurriedly used to block; the Energy Rifle was sawed in two, and the Chainsword followed through to split the Fengqi Sergeant's chest armor and torso.

The entire process took less than ten seconds.

An entire defense squad was wiped out.

Meanwhile, in the corridor near the engine room in Sector B-7.

The Fengqi defenders had deployed more powerful firepower, including two Automatic Turrets and several Fengqi soldiers equipped with heavy weapons and Power Armor, as well as a Psionic accompanying the ship, a young Visat.

The Automatic Turrets fired dense High-Explosive Armor-Piercing Shells, and several Luna Wolves Astartes were temporarily suppressed at the corridor corner.

"Maintain fire! Don't let them through!"

The person in charge of guarding this area was a Stone-born Sergeant.

A Luna Wolves Astartes leaned out from behind cover; several High-Explosive Armor-Piercing Shells hit his Power Armor, breaking small holes in it, and the launcher on his arm fired a disc-shaped object.

The object adhered to the ceiling of the corridor, emitting a faint buzzing sound.

The next moment, the firing of the two Automatic Turrets suddenly became chaotic, and they began firing at each other!

"It's electronic warfare equipment! Take out that Interferer!"

The Stone-born Sergeant roared.

Just as the defenders' firepower was distracted by the interference and chaos, three other Luna Wolves Astartes rushed out! They zigzagged to evade the fire.

"Psionic Barrier!"

The young Visat Psionic screamed, pushing his hands forward, and a translucent Energy Shield generated instantly, blocking the charging Luna Wolves Astartes.

The Luna Wolves Astartes in the lead crashed into the Psionic Barrier, emitting a dull thud.

But the Luna Wolves Astartes behind him did not stop at all, raising the Meltagun in his hand and firing several shots in succession!

In coordination with the attacks of the other two Luna Wolves Astartes, the Psionic Barrier collapsed!

"Psionic! Priority target!"

The Luna Wolves Space Marine who crashed into the barrier said over the communication channel.

Bolter rounds and Melta beams were concentrated on the Visat Psionic.

The Stone-born Sergeant lunged over, using his massive body to shield her, but the high temperature of the Melta Weapon instantly melted through his rock skin and the flesh beneath, turning him and the Visat Psionic behind him into charred remains.

Having lost the support of heavy firepower and the Psionic, the remaining defenders were quickly cleared out by the Luna Wolves Space Marines.

News of the engine room falling reached the Bridge, and the captain of this Destroyer's expression darkened.

Everything was over.

"Captain! They... they are outside the Bridge!"

Outside the Bridge doors came the sounds of Bolter fire hitting the locks and the installation of a Melta Bomb.

The Destroyer captain drew his sidearm, looked at his subordinates around him, and said in a deep voice.

"Gentlemen, it has been my honor to fight alongside you. For the Fengqi Star Alliance."

The great door was blown off entirely with a loud boom!

The Destroyer captain aimed and fired at the leading Luna Wolves Space Marine; the energy beam struck the opponent's helmet, splashing a burst of sparks.

"For the Emperor."

The Destroyer captain's head shattered into fragments along with this roar.

The slaughter on the Bridge ended within seconds.

The Luna Wolves Space Marines took control of the various Control Consoles, and a Tech-Sergeant began accessing the ship's systems to obtain useful intelligence.

Similar scenes played out in other areas of the battlefield.
