Chapter 707 07.706: “The Power of the Untouchable”
A strange whisper echoes in everyone’s ears, its content is confusing and unintelligible, yet it seems to promise “enlightenment” to everyone who hears it.
The thick fog was like a heavy curtain, covering the entire world.
Suddenly, bursts of blue light flashed in the fog. The light was deep and mysterious, as if connecting to another unknown world.
The Krieg soldiers walking in the no-man’s land remained cautious and alert, raising their guns carefully.
In this environment full of unknown dangers, any slight movement could be a precursor to a fatal attack. These war experts are no strangers to such situations – just like a dark and cold tunnel, dangers may be hidden everywhere.
“For the All-Knowing God!” Humanoid words with distorted and trembling tones emerged from the blue light. The voice seemed not to belong to this world, and was full of weirdness and evil.
Then, a swarm of strange and noisy creatures leaped out from the blue light.
These monsters with bird heads and human bodies were covered with blue feathers. They wielded a mirrored bronze shield in one hand and held a curved metal blade in the other. They screamed and rushed towards the imperial army.
[This is… a Tzaanhorn?!] As a time traveler, Horatio instantly recognized the identity of these blasphemous creatures, immediately operated the automatic cannon to fire, and stomped on them with his iron feet.
He was no stranger to this kind of cannon fodder demon.
This is a deformed monster born from the twisted power of the Fate Weaver, and is a cannon fodder unit under the Lord of Change.
Of course, they are just cannon fodder compared to the strength of Astartes.
As long as they form a certain number, they will become a deadly threat to mortal armies under the blessing of Tzeentch’s evil magic.
When the guards saw these evil demons, they pulled the trigger without hesitation.
For a moment, the red lasers on the ground flashed like an interwoven web, shooting towards the Tzaanhorns.
If a Tzaancorn is shot in the face by a high-powered Lucius laser gun, it will scream and explode with bright blue flesh, then fall to the ground with a thump.
However, the thick fog was like the devil’s accomplice, seriously affecting the Kriegs’ aiming.
Often before two shots were fired, the Tzankhods would rush over quickly, wearing mirrored copper shields that could reflect lasers.
Immediately afterwards, the open area between the two positions fell into a bloody hand-to-hand fight.
The Kriegs, who originally had the advantage in numbers and formed a skirmish formation, were weakened by the thick fog and the surprise attack.
Even if a guard stabbed a Tzaanhorn to death with a bayonet, he would be stabbed to death from behind by another jumping Tzaanhorn.
Due to the extremely poor vision, the imperial troops often cannot distinguish friend from foe beyond five meters, and cannot distinguish between humans and animals beyond ten meters.
Under such dire circumstances, accidental injuries caused by the evil fog were inevitable.
“Haha!” The Tzaanhorns laughed triumphantly in the thick fog. These abominable Warp evil creatures trampled on the lenses on the gas masks of the dead and rushed recklessly towards the next target to unleash their savagery.
The wandering thick fog seemed to be silently informing them, telling them where the false emperor’s lackeys were. They would then gather together and rush towards the lone imperial soldiers.
Farida, who was pressed behind the cover by Louise, looked around with bated breath.
She found that the thick fog seemed to be afraid of her.
Therefore, with her as the center, within a range of 330 meters, thick fogs were like curious octopuses. Their tentacles tried to approach again and again, but once they got within 330 meters, they retreated quickly as if they were burned by fire.
Farida knew that this was the power of her untouchability at work.
The trait she had always hated finally came in handy again.
The field of vision within a radius of 330 meters is clear and the target is unobstructed.
After seeing them, many Kriegs decisively gathered and moved in the direction of their leaders.
“Gah! Mystery! Wisdom! Eternal truth!!!”
Suddenly, there was a scream.
A large group of Tzaanhorns emerged from the mist, roaring and charging towards her and Louise.
“Be careful! Fire! Fire!” She and Louise acted almost at the same time.
The two men raised their grenade launchers almost at the same time and pointed them behind each other.
Bang! Bang! There was a burst of rapid firing, and the Tzankyo beasts that rushed towards them from two directions with mirror shields were staggered by the explosive arrows.
They howled with unpleasant hoarse voices like crows, and were staggered by the explosive arrows, exposing their torsos. Then they were pierced by Louise and Farida’s superb marksmanship, exploded, and feathers flew everywhere.
It was also at this time that they discovered that they had rushed to the wrong target.
As the Tzaanhorns got too close to the blonde woman in the wide-brimmed hat, they found that their strength was being drained away bit by bit.
A stinging sensation like burning fire swept over me.
“No! No! What is this? Why!!” They felt powerless, as if a part of themselves was being denied by the physical universe.
Whoosh! Whoosh! – As Louise blew the whistle rhythmically, the surrounding Krieg guards quickly gathered into small hollow squares in a well-trained manner.
Horatio, who was at a high point, cast a layer of light golden light around all the friendly soldiers within his command range, so that they could identify the enemy in this strange fog. Each small hollow square formation consisted of about 20 people, or two squads. Facing the clustered attack of the Tzaanhorn, they could launch a fierce volley of firepower to make up for the shortcoming of Lucius’s laser gun, which was powerful but had a low firing rate.
The weak Tzaancorn was shot to death by the laser gun like a target. Seeing this, Louise ordered the square formation to form a line and advance forward in neat steps with the sound of the whistle.
As Farida approached, the cracks collapsed one after another, emitting shrill screams that were not like those of a human.
[Luckily, I have an untouchable military supervisor who follows me everywhere.]
On the battlefield, the imperial army temporarily stabilized its position for a short time, and Horatio was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
In this universe filled with evil spirits, it is very important to have someone around who can counteract these evil energies and bring them back to the rules of physics.
Otherwise, the Imperial Guards in the Terra Palace would not be so closely bound and coordinated with the Sisters of Silence.
He operated the automatic cannon and fired at the dark blue rift in the mist.
A few bangs can shatter these unstable micro-subspace rifts.
A doubt also emerged in his mind.
Although he doesn’t know who is causing trouble nearby, he needs to face an imminent threat.
Although he couldn’t penetrate the thick blue fog with his bird’s-eye view and couldn’t find any trace of Chaos Knight, he was sure that it had not disappeared and was right next to him.
He looked at the captured squire knight mecha, which still had the mark of the ‘master”s’ existence, and was extremely sure of this.
The enemy is nearby, and he is relying on the smoke to get a chance to catch his breath!
“This is ‘Pureblood Heart’. I am searching for the missing traitor nearby and destroying any rifts along the way.”
“Pureblood Heart, can you ensure your own safety?” Horatio asked, “Your squire has fallen to the ground. Perhaps you need a helper.”
“I’m nearby. Whoever discovers the traitor, I think we can quickly support each other. I think Bayar should be here soon. I can feel it.”
“Well, watch your back,” Horatio warned, “This guy is using supernatural powers, and the physical laws we follow put us at a disadvantage at this time.”
“Thank you for your reminder, my lord. I will take note of it. By the way.”
The female knight snorted with laughter, but her eyes were still alert and alert: “Your skills in piloting mechas are better than most novice knights.”
“Thank you for the compliment. After all, our Imperial Navy is born to control the largest war creation of human civilization.” Horatio did not intend to be modest. After all, he was in charge of a 4.5-kilometer-long war beast.
What is a mere squire knight mecha to a captain like him?
Well, okay, even if we ask other captains to come, it is not certain that they can really control an infantry combat mecha.
“My husband Bayar would appreciate a warrior as gifted as you, and you will earn the respect of the knights, sir.”
Until now, the lady still took it for granted that Horatio was really operating the mecha himself.
Although she was also very curious about how he managed not to be controlled by the mechanical crown.
Because she was just like the Chaos Knight who was ambushed before, she didn’t consider the possibility that Horatio was not wearing the mechanical crown – without relying on neural links, he could not move so agilely.
“I don’t mind chatting with you two after the battle, Baroness, but for now, let’s focus on the battle at hand.”
“Hehe, you are so strict, my lord. But it is a good virtue on the battlefield.” The baroness smiled. She drove the knight mecha, turned on all sensors and avian radars, and began to patrol and guard the surroundings.
On the battlefield, Farida established a coordination and command point with herself as the center.
The Krieg guards who guarded them mercilessly eliminated any demons marked with red outlines, which made up for the poor visibility of their naked eyes in the thick fog, just like thermal imaging in the dark.
If there is a frame, you won’t hit it?
Relying on the power of the Untouchables, their battle line advanced rapidly, killing these inexplicably appearing Tzaanhorns, and then smashing those unstable micro-cracks like a wall.
Louise tried to debug the radio, but some channels were filled with strange whispers, making it impossible for her to call for reinforcements from farther away. She could only rely on whistles to convey military orders.
This is when the benefits of the new code transmitter on their warships came into play.
That thing can effectively counteract psychic interference and played a great role in the Abyss Port Incident.
Unfortunately, this equipment has not yet been mass-produced to the point where it can be equipped to a company, and now each naval ship is only equipped with one unit and a dedicated intelligence liaison officer.
“Louise, do you feel that?”
Farida suddenly shuddered and got goose bumps all over her body. As an untouchable, she knew that this feeling often meant that her innate abilities were fighting against evil energy.
“what happened?”
“Something is wrong. There seems to be something next to me.” Farida felt a chill on her back.
? !
She slowly turned her head and saw a huge dark shadow slowly approaching in the fog. There was no trembling caused by stepping on the ground. The shadow drifted like a ghost, ignoring all obstacles.
“Fallen Knight Attack!!” She shouted with all her might, resounding through the sky.
buzzing-
The deflagration cannon began to accumulate energy. The hellish fire from hell, eager to devour souls, was surging in the barrel, clearly visible to everyone.
