Chapter 44 Hunter
The Skitarii on the ground were all killed by the orcs' impact and the splash of various doomsday weapons. The dry land, which had been evaporated by the high temperature of various explosions and ion storms, showed signs of desertification. Some of the places that were directly hit either left a pool of magma pits that needed to be cooled or glass pits that reflected dazzling light.
The remnants of the orcs hiding under the remains of the tunnels and vehicles shot at the Titans from time to time, but the operators and captains of the Titans never paid attention to these greenskins who were overconfident. Their opponents were only the orcs' super-heavy tanks that had not died completely and the ancient Jujis who were farther away and within range.
The Waaagh became a metal ruin that needed to be repaired and dismantled, but the remaining ancient Jujis would not sit there and wait for death. Under the protection of the orcs' Waaagh field shields, they fought back and forth with the Titans.
High-speed artillery shells and lightning were blocked by the void shield, while slow-moving indirect-fire artillery and aerial bombs were blocked by countless close-in defense guns, exploding in midair and turning into a cloud of black smoke that billowed upward. The sky of the entire battlefield had been completely covered by the smoke and dust created by the war, becoming extremely dark. Scarlet ion lightning surged in the thick black smoke that could not let in any starlight.
The climate in this area was getting worse and worse. Under the influence of the plasma cannon and the volcanic cannon, the ions in the air became more and more chaotic and violent. A local storm was generated, rolling up the sand and flesh on the ground. It can be called a bloody storm that can be seen by the naked eye.
Under the cover of these storms and Gu Juji's firepower, hundreds of battle fortresses equipped with huge iron claws were driving rapidly amid the sound of sand and stone rubbing against iron plates.
Battle Fortress
They quietly parked the Battle Fortress two kilometers away from the Warlord Titan. They could clearly see the blue barrel of the Warlord Titan's huge plasma cannon flashing a faint blue light that was about to overheat in the scarlet storm.
"Hey, hey, hey!" A big mechanic with a strange laugh poked his head out from the roof of the Battle Fortress and observed the movements of the Warlord Titan with a telescope in his hand.
"I said that in this kind of weather, the shrimps can't find us. You guys are still afraid. You really embarrass Brother Mao!"
The orc boys who were scolded by him touched their bald heads awkwardly, showing embarrassed expressions.
"But can this thing of yours be used? I think it's just a claw."
"What do you know, you idiot? This is not an ordinary claw. It is equipped with a super awesome explosion-absorbing field and an equally awesome smart rocket. I'll show you how to do it and you'll understand."
The big master with a strange laugh shrank back into the battle fortress and sat down on the chair that controlled the iron claw. After hitting the holographic screen removed from the Imperial Command, a scene showing the back of the iron claw was refreshed.
"Oh, oh, oh!" The orcs exclaimed in amazement, which made the big master with a hi hi hi hi laugh very useful. After showing an expression of being teachable, he pressed the first button of the joystick in his hand.
A buzzing sound sounded, and the iron claw accelerated by electromagnetics quickly left the launch orbit of the battle fortress and flew towards the targeted Warlord-class Titan.
"Alarm, an unknown solid is detected on the left side flying towards the body."
"Calculate the speed."
"The speed is fifteen times higher than the standard speed of the Void Shield interception."
"Adjust the Void Shield output to 55%."
"Adjust the Void Shield output to 55%."
In the orderly operation of the bridge, the Void Shield energy for the attacker was precisely adjusted. The Warlord-class Titan could not waste his time on turning the body to block with a safer and more efficient close defense gun. The Void Shield would complete his task well.
Before the Iron Claw was about to approach the Void Shield and be blocked, the Great Technician who was observing the status of the Iron Claw in the Battle Fortress suddenly pressed the second button on the joystick. The rocket placed in front of the Iron Claw ignited, providing a huge recoil force to slow down the speed of the Iron Claw.
"The speed of the unknown object has slowed down! It has passed through the interception of the void shield!"
"What?"
In the captain's shock, the iron claw slowly penetrated the void shield bit by bit. The great master who seized the opportunity pressed the third button, and more rockets behind the iron claw started up again, and the iron claw that had fallen directly was forcibly lifted up again, and it was embedded in the armor of the Warlord-class Titan during the collision.
"Is that it? It looks like that."
"This is just the beginning!"
In the excited shouting of the great master, the long cables behind the iron claw were noticed by the orcs. After the energy of the battle fortress was transferred from the vehicle to the iron claw, the four claws embedded in the Warlord-class Titan quickly heated up and turned red, and then a hot explosion mixed with magnetic storm occurred and fell off the Titan. The rail cables of the battle fortress also quickly retracted the heavy and hot iron claw. In the process of retraction, the iron claw smashed all the debris and rocks that tried to block it.
A large melted gap appeared on the leg armor of the Warlord-class Titan, and sparks flashed from the mechanical structure and various cables. It was obvious that it had suffered serious damage in this attack.
Witnessing the power of the Iron Claw, the orc boys in the battle fortress changed their nonchalant attitude and took out their teeth in their pockets one by one, asking the great master to let them try it.
Big Jiba nodded with satisfaction and took the best big tooth from an orc. He knocked it out of the mouth of a drunk orc in a fungus tavern.
"Hahaha! Let these shrimps see how powerful I am!" Then he imitated and manipulated the iron claw to shoot again. The battle fortresses that had undergone the same transformation also mastered this easy-to-use and interesting weapon under the teaching of the fart spirit and technician boy under Big Jiba. This reminded them of the days when they used big chop and big spear to catch giant squigs in the Snake Bite Clan.
Dozens and hundreds of iron claws rushed towards the already injured Warlord-class Titan from the shadow of the storm and under the cover of various debris.
The captain connected to the Warlord Titan felt the wail of the machine soul. Although the huge wound on the leg did not cause the machine to fall, the exposed cables seriously affected the Titan's turning and movement.
"More unidentified projectiles are coming!"
"Adjust the energy of the void shield to 100%, turn the machine, and use the close-in defense gun to deal with them."
The fully charged void shield became more eye-catching, emitting a faint white light. It was not obvious in the daytime, but in this dark storm, it was a huge beacon that everyone could see.
The fuselage turned, and the side with the most turrets and the best shooting range faced the iron claws flying at high speed. Gu Juji, who was far away, saw the Warlord Titan turn around, and also seized this opportunity to pour out all the artillery ammunition.
