Chapter 256: Fear of Cold
While Ness Luman and Gu Ming were so panicked that they didn't know what to do, the phoenixes, whom they were extremely afraid of and who caused them great fear, had completed their second mission and successfully evacuated.
They destroyed the Knight Titan that had lost its shield generator.
To be honest, this process is not easy.
The Space Marines are strong, very strong, but not truly invincible.
For example, if the machine gun of the Sentinel mech hits the shoulder armor, chest armor, or even the helmet, it may not be a big deal. But if it hits the waist, joints, or back, it will not be a good thing.
Moreover, even if they can only hit the thickest part of the armor, a few or a dozen machine gun shells would be fine. But if there are really dozens of them, the power armor will be useless.
That's a machine gun, not an ordinary bullet.
Space Marines aren't that easy to hit.
They looked huge and heavy in armor, but they were extremely flexible and swift in action. They were not much smaller than the Sentinel mechas in size, but in a real fight, the Sentinel mechas were too flexible and fast to keep up with their movements.
Purely passive and taking a beating.
But when the number of sentinel mechas gathers into the hundreds, and there are thousands of miscellaneous soldiers around them, they are used as cannon fodder to block bullets and vision, which is quite annoying.
What's more, can the Knight Titan be ignored?
The weapon in that thing's hand was also a deadly threat to the Space Marines. If the howitzer fired a round at the edge, it would be fine, but if it hit the center, even a Space Marine wearing tactical power armor would die; if the gravity fist came down, even Martins himself, who had the combat power of the company champion and was wearing a Terminator armor, would not dare to take it head-on.
The Knight Titan's pilot became extremely cowardly after losing his energy shield. When he learned that there were Space Marines heading for him, he panicked to death.
However, he certainly couldn't run away. Being alone, without the protection of infantry and sentry mechas, he would become more vulnerable.
He could only fight bravely, using a grenade launcher to fire at the Space Marines from a distance, through the sentinel mechas and miscellaneous cannon fodder.
But the results were not good.
It is true that a direct hit can kill a Space Marine, but it has to hit the target.
As soon as he raised his hand, they noticed the target and started to maneuver, so he couldn't hit it accurately. Often, after one shot, the Space Marines were fine, at most the shrapnel scratched the paint on their power armor, but the Luman Kingdom Army, which was not far away, was killed by mistake.
But overall, this was an appropriate way of playing, and it did effectively curb the advance of the Space Marines.
After all, there are only fifteen Phoenixes, and they have no heavy firepower support.
When the operation is slowed down and stuck in a quagmire, the mission is almost a failure. If the battle continues, a single mistake will result in casualties.
But at this time, a new helper appeared.
Allied Air Force.
Before, there were only three Wind Falcons carrying the Space Marines to the battlefield. More fighters had not yet landed on the starship Blade Tiger.
At this moment, the uninstallation is complete.
The Fengshun fleet of 100 aircraft took off quickly, flying at a relatively low altitude, avoiding the flawed defense and firepower network of the Luman Kingdom, and quickly arrived above the battlefield.
And they are the important supports for Martins to try to attack and destroy the Knight Titan.
A fleet of hundreds of aircrafts swept in!
Without saying a word, he fired two rounds of airborne missiles.
This thing is very powerful. If all of them are fired at the Knight Titan, without an energy shield, these airborne missiles alone will be enough to cause serious damage to the Knight Titan.
However, the Allied Air Force did not do so.
They have greater ambitions and want to achieve more results.
Their bombing target was the Luman Corps that was blocking the Phoenix and the Knight Titan. A small number of bombs were directed at the Ranger, restricting and threatening it, but the rest of the bombs blew up the Luman Corps' ground forces.
It's pointless to blow up the miscellaneous soldiers, the main target is still the sentry mecha.
This round of air strikes killed many people.
The weapons carried by the Wind Falcon are not just airborne missiles. It is also equipped with machine guns and laser cannons, and its firepower is no less than that of a single Sentinel mecha.
The key is to be able to fly!
They began to lick the ground from the air. The Fengshuns of the Hundred-plane Formation relied on missile bombings and machine gun ground support to disrupt the formation of the Luhman Legion and caused considerable casualties.
However, Feng Falcon also suffered losses during this process.
Since it is a low-altitude battle, the danger is very high. The Sentinel mecha is not just taking a beating without fighting back, it raises its head and fires its machine guns into the sky, which is equivalent to countless anti-aircraft guns.
The Wind Falcon has thicker armor than traditional aircraft. If it really gets hit, it is much more fragile than the Sentinel mecha.
Since the war began, eight wind falcons were shot down in a short period of time.
However, such a loss is worth it.
The Space Marines who were about to be dragged into the quagmire in front are now active again!
In the chaotic battlefield, fifteen red giants attacked fiercely!
With the help of the Wind Falcon in the sky, a large number of sentinel mechas were killed.
Of the one hundred sentinel mechas that had been gathered together, half of them had been destroyed at this moment. The rest were either panicking and afraid of fighting, cowering and trying to escape, or scattered everywhere, being blocked by their own miscellaneous soldiers whose order had been destroyed, and they were unable to make any progress.
The Space Marines' path forward is now clear.
And their goal has never changed.
The Knight Titan did not want to sit there and wait for death. In such a dangerous situation, it was also aroused. When the howitzer was exhausted and there was no time to reload, it withstood the bombardment of the bolter and heavy bombs, and rushed forward with the Knight Titan's heavy armor, and fiercely punched Martins who was coming in front of it!
Missed!
In Martins' long combat career, he had certainly seen Knight Titans. Although they were all friendly forces, he fully understood that Knight Titans should not be underestimated.
Even though he was wearing Terminator armor, he didn't want to fight with force.
With a quick sideways roll, Martins avoided the blast of the gravity punch.
The aftermath was fierce, but for the Terminator, it could be ignored.
He raised the power sword high and slashed it fiercely. The Knight Titan's gravity fist, which he had no time to retract, was cut off at the joint.
Then, he rushed forward bravely and slammed hard into the Knight Titan.
His body was less than half the size of the Knight Titan, and his head just reached the Titan's hips. But this collision still knocked the behemoth over.
Then, the power sword was swung rapidly, and the swordsmanship level of the company champion was brought into play. First, the weapon was removed, then the head was chopped off, and then the power system was destroyed...
In a few seconds, Martins slashed the Knight Titan with more than ten swords and dismembered it.
The entire process was clearly seen by Nest Luhman and Gu Ming who were fleeing.
Their headquarters was not far from here, and the two men, realizing that something was wrong, wanted to run away immediately.
As a result, I witnessed this scene with my own eyes while running away.
The liver and gallbladder are afraid of cold!
