Chapter 606: A New Way of War

Chapter 599 – A New Way of War
With the consolidation of the population and the resumption of production, the military forces of the territory were also trying to adapt to the current way of war, as they were not facing the traditional enemies and wars.

Because the dimensional wall of the North Cluster Star was not perfect, it was difficult to defend against outside invasions, resulting in the defense line leaking all over the place, even small scale orcs could ride small pieces of debris to rush in, not to mention more experienced invasion specialists like the dark elves, as well as some of the things that were messing around in the void.

In order to destroy the invaders more effectively, the Empire needs a more effective and efficient army in addition to the traditional reserve regiments and field armies.

In addition to strength, this army would also need the ability to move at high speeds, which is the only way to meet the current way of warfare.

Traditional airplanes can’t do it, the North Cluster is only a small and medium-sized realm, even if it turns from a glass bowl to a glass ball, the height is still limited, if you’re not careful, you’ll crash into the wall of the realm, or even fly directly into the void, so it doesn’t support high-altitude and high-speed flight at all.

Airplanes are a living target when they lose their height and speed advantage, so they can only choose airships that fly more freely.

The original sailboat style airships have been eliminated, at least not for military use, and now the airships are more like the spaceships in the science fiction world, and are more functional and targeted.

The first to be perfected was the smaller model Iron Shield ship, because the original design was in line with the current needs, so after enhancing the power and thickening the armor, it was already able to be used in actual combat.

The Iron Shield proved to be an excellent fast support ship, measuring thirty meters long and six meters high, with two left, right, and top mounted twin forty millimeter cannons, providing good fire support, while being able to carry four light assault vehicles and fifty Warhammer soldiers inside, and landing them quickly and rather roughly, such as it is now.

Based on the navigation of the one-eyed giant eagle circling the dimensional wall, the iron slate-like Iron Shield quickly cut through the sky and began to dive at a terrifying angle under the pilot’s daring maneuvers.

The sturdy hull, coupled with the thickened front armor, gave the pilot plenty of confidence to make a hard landing by hitting the water, and with a loud rumble, the front armor with its tilted angle pushed hard against the dirt splashing like a wave, using it to reduce its speed rapidly.

Dare to land like this, in addition to the Iron Shield is strong enough, but also with the inside ride are super soldiers related, ordinary soldiers can not carry such a rough landing, really dare to wave like this, afraid of lying on the spot to spit blood bubble.

Did not wait for the ship to stop, the rear of the heavy hatch in the sound of gas explosion popped open, heavily smashed the ground dragged out a wide trench, and then is located in the cabin to lift the fixed light assault vehicle in the driver under a foot throttle, almost airborne like flying out of the cabin.

The assault vehicle fell heavily, but the eight wide tires cushioned the impact well, and the machine gunners wearing powered exoskeletons at the top of the vehicle were not affected much, and reacted quickly to pull the trigger towards the target immediately.

The twin thirty-millimeter machine guns fixed on the roof of the assault vehicle emitted a dull sound, and as a round of thick shells jumped out, two-finger thick bullets carrying terrifying kinetic energy kept hitting the monster, and for a while, sparks flew, and bullets flew randomly.

This is a huge monster from the void, the shape is similar to a lizard, but the body is like a fusion of flesh and blood and minerals, the defense is very high, after all, those who can survive in the void obviously won’t be ordinary creatures, the hardness of the scaled armor on the body surface is quite high, the angle will be slightly off will ricochet, only a few bullets can make the scaled armor break, if you want to really cause a kill, you have to be a long time to shoot at fixed points.

For the enemy with thick skin and flesh, the Warhammer soldiers were prepared, they skillfully spread out, targeting the head and tail for fierce shooting, even launching rockets, but the effect is not very good, this monster’s scale armor has two layers, and the head and tail are extraordinarily tough. Warhammer soldiers immediately shifted tactics, cooperating with the powerful assault vehicle to attract the monster’s attention, allowing the Iron Shield to take off again.

After rising to a certain height, the Iron Shield’s left and right four twin 40mm caliber cannons spewed flames, and a round of armor-breaking bullets ruthlessly pierced the monster’s body, shattering the scale armor and blowing up the flesh and blood, which caused the monster to wail in pain, and no longer cared about chasing after those pesky bipedal beasts, and ran away with its legs.

Don’t look at the huge size of the monster, running speed is not slow, and swinging left and right is very difficult to aim.

“Assault vehicles flank left and right, targeting the legs with sweeping shots, nullifying its ability to move.” The officer located on the Iron Shield decisively gave the order, mustn’t let this monster run around, with the opponent’s size and strength, no matter if it breaks into a residential area or an industrial area, it would be a disaster.

“Command received.” The chariot driver pushed the throttle to the bottom, the vehicle developed for war sensed the driver’s determination and returned an angry roar, the huge body rushed across the wilderness, the shooter didn’t care about the bumps as if he was riding on the back of a mad cow, and tried to shoot as many of the monster’s limbs as he could.

Because they could not get too close, the hit rate was very low, ten rounds could hit one or two is already good, after all, the shooting is not the huge body, but the fast running limbs.

However, this did not do much damage to the huge monster, and the Iron Shield’s gunfire was also difficult to hit due to the need to chase and the monster’s constant change of direction.

Seeing that the monster was about to escape, one of the assault vehicles disregarded safety and accelerated with all its might to hit one of the monster’s front limbs.

The monster that was running at full speed stumbled, its head was stuck on the ground and its body was flipped upside down, the assault vehicle that was dented on one side of the impact and had its engine turned off didn’t avoid it, and was pressed squarely into the ground, the armor was twisted and shattered, and the driver was killed on the spot, and the shooter who poked out half of his body was also stuck by the twisted metal and spat out fresh blood, obviously not badly injured.

In fact if he hadn’t been equipped with a powered exoskeleton, this hit would have killed him, but with the vitality draining out of him, death would only be a matter of time unless he got professional medical attention immediately.

With a click, the shooter didn’t hesitate to touch the mechanism, and the highly concentrated agent that the exoskeleton had placed at his heart was immediately injected into his body, and while it wouldn’t save his life, it would allow him to make a last ditch counterattack.

Under the stimulation of the agent, the shooter, whose lumbar vertebrae were broken and his internal organs were bleeding profusely, tenaciously rotated the muzzle of his gun, aiming at the eyes of the monster that was close at hand and pulled the trigger.

Like using a stone to break a glass ball wrapped in a towel filled with viscous liquid, the monster’s thick eyelids were not enough to stop the thirty millimeter caliber bullets, and they were shot through and shattered the huge eyeballs.

The shooter let the blood shocked by the machine gun gush up his throat and out of the corners of his mouth, still not letting go of the trigger, and it was only after death that the machine gun came to the sound of hitting empty, and the monster, which had more than ten pounds of bullets pumped into its brain, was also dying, and was completely killed by the Warhammer soldiers who rushed to the scene.
