Chapter 617, Death of Casting General
Five minutes is a bit urgent.
But generally speaking, it is still within Moretti's plan.
It would be best if Farai could be killed at the stage of the floating convoy.
Although he could not be killed directly, at least he was forced out.
As the scheduled battle site, the Space Marines had already carefully explored it beforehand. The place where Farai escaped to was the safest place, but it was also the place that Moretti was most familiar with.
Even before the ambush began, there was a small team of New World Torches stationed there.
Farai hiding there was really what he wanted.
However, he should not be too careless.
The combat effectiveness of the Mechanicus's sages will vary greatly. The specific combat effectiveness depends on the strength of the modification on the sage's body. After all, a considerable number of mechanical sages have their bodies modified to facilitate scientific research and the production of some precision products. Combat is not their specialty.
Of course, accessories and body modifications are not fixed like mortal bodies, but can be changed at any time. A sage who conducts intensive scientific research in his own research institute will definitely not wear the same modifications when he goes out on adventures and participates in wars.
Has Falai modified himself into a "combat posture" now?
There is no intelligence mentioning this.
But it is always right to treat the enemy with a lenient attitude.
Ten Space Marines, even if they are veterans and non-commissioned officers, may not be able to take down a sage in a combat posture.
Moretti and Lacroxia, with their men, quickly surrounded the factory area.
There were sounds of fighting inside.
But it was becoming thinner.
Moretti felt a little bad.
The original plan was to wait until the other combat brothers were in place and blocked the factory area before entering. The ten veterans inside could just hold Falai back.
But it seems that it won't work and we can't wait until then.
If the brothers inside were killed, Falai might be able to escape from any exit before the encirclement was completed. By that time, if they were caught in a pursuit battle, the time required to resolve the battle would become immeasurable, and it would be hard to say whether the problem could be solved in five minutes.
Although, the mission did not fail immediately after five minutes, after all, they could continue to fight against the endless enemy reinforcements and continue to kill Falai, but that would increase the difficulty and the probability of failure.
After briefly explaining to Lacroxia, Moro took his personal guards and stepped into the battlefield first.
Then, he knew he was right.
Ten Space Marines had been killed, and only two were left. They were still struggling to hold on. If there was no external help, they would not be far from death.
At this moment, Falai was indeed in a fighting posture. The red and black robes of the Alfonzo sect had disappeared, and his body was completely revealed. It looked like a huge snake, and the lower half of the body was crawling on the ground in a special way, and it could stretch freely, which seemed quite flexible.
The upper body was roughly the appearance of a person, but many arms stretched out from the body, equipped with various weapons.
The most notable thing is the two mantis-like biological blades. This thing is different from the weapons used by the mechanical sages that are usually seen. It is not made of steel, but more like a kind of biological material, like a mantis blade.
In addition, he also holds a long staff in one of his hands, which looks like a long living insect, and the head is still wriggling. The power of psychic energy radiates from it, making the Space Marines fighting against him feel that their bodies are rusted and difficult to move.
When Moretti roared and rushed over, one of the two remaining veterans was fixed by the psychic energy of the insect staff. Then, a stream of acid sprayed on his body, and the power armor sizzled; then, two mantis blades chopped across. The solid Terminator armor has become a little fragile under the previous corrosion, and the strength of these two giant mantis blades is even stronger. Under the superposition of the two items, the Iron Cavalry Terminator is also paper-made, and the Space Marine was directly chopped into three sections.
"Traitor!" Moretti cursed, and what greeted him was a series of fire bombardments.
On the body of the Sage Farai, three or four living cannons extended from his body. The biological rays ejected not only produced a high-energy explosion effect, but also had a strong corrosive effect.
In the full-speed charge, Moretti still had the spare energy to observe when the living cannon barrel stretched out, and then he made a pre-judgment dodge, and at the same time he could slash with the phase sword in his hand to cut off some unavoidable rays.
However, the guards following behind him did not have such skills. Wearing Terminator armor is okay, and it is only a small pit corroded on the armor. As long as it is not hit continuously, it is temporarily safe. But the Space Marines wearing ordinary tactical power armor cannot resist, and will be killed on the spot after being shot several times in succession.
During the charge, the bolters in the hands of the Space Marines bombarded him, but only caused a ripple on his void shield, which was not enough to break it.
Bullets probably won't work. Given that Farai has a void shield protecting him, it will take a long time to break through. Moreover, if we really compare firepower, Farai as a single individual is probably more powerful than the dozen or so Space Marine guards that rushed in. His special biological rays are incomprehensible.
Morretti realized this from the beginning. He never stopped and rushed to Falai's face to end the battle with the phase sword.
Seeing that the biological ray could not stop Moretti, Falai was also a little anxious.
He turned halfway and prepared to respond, but at this moment, the only survivor among the ten space warriors previously deployed in this factory area suddenly jumped up and slashed at him fiercely with the chainsaw sword.
Falai could not avoid it, but he was able to take the damage with a position similar to the shoulder blade, and then the sharp blade pierced through his waist and abdomen. The biological toxin was poured into it, and it can almost be said that this warrior is dead.
The strong paralysis of the biological toxin will make him completely lose all his ability to move in a few breaths; then, the heart, muscles, blood vessels, and brain that were forcibly calmed down will all be disabled. As long as the time is a little longer, without an antidote, it will be permanent death.
But at the last moment before the paralysis took effect, he still took out the plasma pistol hanging on his thigh with difficulty. There was no time to charge, but the distance was too close, and even the muzzle was inside the void shield, so the power was considerable.
With a hole in his body, Falai didn't care about the damage, threw the dying Space Marine down, turned his head, and slashed at Moretti with the pair of mantis knives, trying to force him back.
But at this time, a ghostly figure appeared beside Falai.
It was Lakrosa wearing the Servant Power Armor.
With Moretti's charge and the Space Marine's temporary counterattack, Lakrosa quietly approached in a blind spot that Falai could not observe.
When Falai realized it, Lakrosa was already closer than Moretti.
And the explosive power he showed in an instant was even more surprising!
Almost in a moment, he stepped into a position close to the void shield.
A high-energy plasma rifle with full energy, the muzzle extended into the void shield, and then fired.
The plasma beam accurately penetrated Falai's body.
It was not fatal, but the void shield generator was broken.
A small explosion occurred in Farley's body. At the same time, in the smoke, the explosive bombs fired by the Space Marines, which were originally in vain, all hit him, making Farley's original preparations for defense and counterattack all come to nothing.
Under the suppression of firepower, Moretti completed the final blow.
The phase sword slashed several times in a flash. Now cut off the pair of mantis blades, then cut off Farley's head, and then cut the head in half in mid-air, and then several swords slashed on his body, fully dismembering it.
After a set of actions, it took only a few seconds, and the sage of the Alfonzo sect and the general of the Aramita Forge World died.
Slightly panting, Moretti glanced at the battlefield.
All ten warriors who were previously deployed here died.
But at this cost, it was still worth it to get Farley's life.
However, the biggest goal of the battle group's operations on the ground has been achieved.
Next, he contacted all parties in an orderly manner.
On the one hand, he wanted to know the current situation of the battles in other places.
On the other hand, he also had to inform the Alliance agents that their mission was completed. Next, we have to find a way to evacuate the people.
At this moment, the reinforcements of the Mechanicus also arrived. They launched a fierce attack on the Space Marines guarding the factory area, while the ninety people of the New World Torch and dozens of Glory Guards defended here.
Even though there were many besiegers, and there were many high-level elite mechas among them. Even after a wave of offensives was repelled, fierce artillery fire fell from the sky, almost covering the entire factory area...
But at the end of the battle, the casualties of the Space Marines were still not high.
At the cost of the elite fragments of the Mechanicus on the ground, seven Glory Guards and nine Torch Warriors died.
Moretti was already thinking about whether to continue to hold on or simply lead people to break through.
At this time, the Alliance agent finally got a reply.
"Throw out Farai's body, they will understand when they see it."
The fierce attack of the Mechanicus also stopped at this time.
It seems to be done.
Moretti came out in person, and he and the torch warriors he led dragged out a pile of body fragments.
On the Mechanicus side, the floating, reconnaissance servo skull saw this scene and faithfully sent back the picture.
Then, the Crusader Army began to retreat.
At this point, Moretti was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, good news came one after another.
All the assassinations on the ground in Aramita were successful.
Including him, the total casualties of the New World Torch did not exceed 40 people.
Although this number of casualties was somewhat heartbreaking, Moretti still smiled.
The first important battle for the New World Torch to wash away its sins was a good start after all!
However, his good mood did not last long.
Bad news came:
"Our attack on the starport is not going well, we need support!"
