Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 106: Raid on the Pillar of Autumn ([-])

The remaining two fighter jets passed through the barrage of artillery fire. One of the fighter jets fired a super-hot plasma beam and hit a Warthog personnel carrier. The machine gunner was killed instantly and the weapon was reduced to a pile of scraps.But the troop carrier was still moving forward - which meant that the equipment and supplies on the trailer were still safe.

The surviving Banshee fighter jets flew through the hail of bullets, turned, and joined the second wave of fighter formations.

The second wave of Covenant fighter formations came from the east and spread out, fighting on their own.Field commander Putumi roared into the radio, and the self-propelled mortars on Hill No. [-] and No. [-] began to fire jointly.The bright blue fireball, dragging its tail of energy, shot high into the air, hovered for a moment, and then began to fall.

The plasma mortar shells fell with a calm demeanor, almost like taking a leisurely stroll.They drew a beautiful arc and hit the ground, making a deafening noise that shook the ground.Although neither shot hit any target, it didn't matter much because it was just a test shot and was used to measure distance.

McKay heard a Marine shouting on the command channel: "What the hell is this?" and heard List scolding him.

She couldn't help but ask herself the same question.In fact, although she knew the existence of this weapon, she had never seen the Revenant self-propelled mortar with her own eyes, so she was not sure whether it was the one she was facing now.But that doesn't matter, because this unknown weapon appears to be extremely deadly, and if hit at close range, it will cause catastrophic consequences on the road.She opened the communication channel.

"Red One calls Green One: Those 'energy bombs' came from the top of the hills. Let's shave the heads of these beasts. Over."

"This is Green One," Lister replied, "Understood, over."

There was a burst of static as Lister switched to his platoon channel.McKay heard every word Lister said clearly from the command channel.

"Green One calls F1 and F2: Use cannons to blast the hilltop on the left. Over."

"Green One calls F3, F4: the same goes for the hilltop on the right. Over."

"Don't fire at the hilltop on the right. I repeat, don't fire at the hilltop on the right." Tommy's voice suddenly broke in, "I found the other party's commander and he is about to carry out a beheading operation."

McKay was stunned for a moment, "Roger that, sir. F3, F4, fire in coordination toward the hilltop on the left."
-
The Banshee fighter jets circled and turned, raining down fire on the hapless humans.A pilot fires a nuclear cannon, hitting the target directly.A trailer full of valuable ammunition exploded, embracing the Warthog troop carrier it was towing.

The Covenant troops witnessed all this on the top of the mountain and couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Not only that, they also felt a sense of revenge.

Motumi came here to record the battle, not to party, but he still watched the four human tanks turn to his left like a man possessed, preparing to shoot at the top of Hill No. [-].

He was a little confused: Why did these tanks only shoot at that side of the hill?

Motumi was thinking about taking cover, but before he could move his feet, a swarm of frag grenades, blocking the sunlight, fell near him.Then there was a "bang" explosion, and the grenade exploded fifty length units away.The blood-stained soil splashed up, and corpses, weapons, and pieces of equipment flew into the sky.Motumi, whose ears were about to be deafened, regained his composure and quickly sought cover.

Field commander Putumi laughed and pointed out some rocks where Motumi was hiding to his servants.At this time, the second round of shelling exploded below the top of the mountain, causing a small landslide. "This is the real battle!" Putumi said happily, "Watch that moment for me -" Before he could finish his words, his energy shield suddenly crackled, flashing with overloaded static sparks, and then The head exploded with a "bang".

It was only then that three deafening bangs spread throughout the canyon, even covering up the noise from other human weapons.

Motumi watched with wide eyes as the field commander's body fell to the ground, and his jaw couldn't stop trembling.

"Sniper!" A lower-level elite soldier pulled the stunned Motum behind another bunker facing the bottom of the hillside. "The devil led a group of black-armored soldiers to attack. They want to kill us. !”

Motumi slightly poked out one eye from the bunker and looked down the hillside. He saw that the Spartan Demon was pulling out the fighting dagger in his hand from the neck of an elite warrior with blood gushing out, and then turned his head to look at him.His whole body was shocked - that look hidden behind the helmet panel came from hell.
-
The loss of a Warthog personnel carrier, a trailer full of ammunition, and three Marines left McKay questioning the deployment of manpower.She was about to give the order for the platoon's machine gunners to shoot freely at the Banshees, when her driver suddenly shouted: "Holy shit, look over there!"

She followed her fingers: a series of plasma beams gathered into a long, dense line on the side of the Warthog troop carrier, scorching the armor coating of the troop carrier and stirring up little pillars of mud.A group of ghost hoverskis have flown onto the road.

"Red One is calling all R-Teams... follow me!" McKay shouted into the microphone and patted the pilot's arm. "Meet them, Murphy - let's go clear the ravine."

Before McKay finished speaking, the Marines stepped on the accelerator, the machine gunner cheered loudly, and the troop carrier jumped forward.

A quick reaction force consisting of five other vehicles quickly followed.At the same time, the Revenant self-propelled mortar on the hilltop on the right suddenly misfired. The anti-gravity device at the bottom of it was activated and turned it around, with the muzzle facing the other side - and then it was hit by two rounds from the M41 The rocket launcher's missile struck, leaving only charred remains in its wake as blazing flames swept past.

Colonel, they succeeded!
"Fight back, fight back!" she shouted on the communication channel.

The machine gunner also realized this opportunity and immediately shouted: "Go! Go! Go!" The driver suddenly turned to avoid a boulder and stepped on the accelerator with all his strength.He kept cursing and felt a hot, wet liquid soak into his seat.

The plasma cannonball accelerates and falls.The first troop carrier dodged directly beneath it, and the second and third followed closely behind.

McKay's heart jumped into his throat.She looked back and saw that the plasma cannon landed with a "boom" and a huge crater on the ground.

Then, as if some magic had been cast on its wheels, the troop carrier jumped out of the smoke. When it landed, its wheels hit the edge of the crater, but it quickly drove away.

There was no time to celebrate, the first Ghost Hoverski was already in range and the lead one was already firing.McKay raised his assault rifle, aimed at the nearest vague target, and pulled the trigger.
