Chapter 360 05.0359: "Heavy Tank to the Rescue"
"You stinky shrimp! I don't know why, but I feel like that second brother is trying to kill you, so just hand it over to me!"
The green-skinned giant with bared teeth swung his knife forward, the blade cutting through the wind. The seemingly crude blade was actually a refined gold blade made by rough processing of green-skin technology!
Combined with the powerful force of its huge body, it is an extremely threatening armor-piercing weapon for any opponent, even an Astartes monk wearing power armor.
And Horatio was only wearing his defenseless naval officer's uniform, with the golden tassels on his shoulders fluttering in the wind as his horse galloped.
He raised the chainsaw sword, and the power of Iron Hand continued to increase. The white mist from the vaporized coolant began to evaporate, and the vent emitted an increasingly sharp whistle.
The high-speed rotating chainsaw teeth slammed into the oncoming fine gold blade.
There was a burst of sparks. Under the inertia of the warhorse's impact and the high-powered attack of the power iron hand, the big orc staggered and the big sword in his hand was almost knocked away by one blow.
"Huh!?" The other green-skinned big guy next to him was attracted by the explosion caused by this fierce blow.
"Hey! How can this guy be so strong? He could actually knock the golden chop out of the boss's hand and almost knock it away!" a big guy shouted.
"I think this shrimp must not be an ordinary shrimp, it's a very strong shrimp! Waaaaagh!" The other green-skinned big guy rushed towards Horatio impatiently, wanting to get involved in the duel.
But just as it took a step, a skinny shrimp in dark blue power armor and a short shrimp in a white uniform and a military inspector's wide-brimmed hat that was familiar to them stared at it.
After chopping off the other opponents in front of them, the two men stood on the left and right, spread their horse stances and surrounded it, blocking it.
"Hmph, you skinny, short shrimp, you're useless, get out of my way!" The big guy snorted twice in dissatisfaction, then picked up two axes and chopped down at the two men.
hum!
The moment the opponent entered the attack range, Louise instantly picked up the assault chainsword, and with the help of the pulley, she quickly dodged the axe and chopped at the big guy's arm with her backhand.
The big guy retreated immediately in a hurry, and Farida took the opportunity to step forward and launched a surprise attack from the other side.
"Ah! You annoying bitches! I'm going to kill you first! Chop you into pieces!"
The sounds of swords clashing could be heard frequently not far from Horatio.
This was the first time that the two female soldiers, who had never cooperated before, joined forces, but they worked together with great tacit understanding and successfully restrained this huge orc who was about three meters and a half tall, with a back as wide as a mountain, and only slightly shorter than their boss.
Horatio glanced at the two and, after making sure they could handle the formidable opponent, he continued to focus on the opponent in front of him.
boom!
boom!
"Boss! Here comes the huge can of shrimp!"
"Huh?!" The big leader bared his fangs and turned his head. His scarlet eyes saw on the road ahead a group of huge steel boxes deployed in battle formation, using their heavy weapons to continuously spit out blazing flames at the guys next to them. The engines roared, accompanied by bursts of explosions, leaving big holes on the ground one after another, as well as green-skinned corpses scattered on the side.
The fierce firepower, which is extremely tempting to the greenskins, is constantly knocking down the guys rushing out of the "mountain" like mowing grass.
Horatio took advantage of a break in the battle and glanced sideways. At first glance he saw the huge black muzzle of the twin-gun.
The newcomers were none other than the 1st Royal Armoured Regiment of Britain, a platoon of Macharius heavy tanks from the heavily armoured company of the Queen's Household Guard.
As the armored reserve closest to the brigade, after receiving the news that the brigade headquarters was attacked, they immediately turned around and followed the fastest route urgently marked by Horatio to rush back from the front to provide support. This huge Imperial heavy tank is usually considered to be the "Bane Blade II", named in honor of the Imperial "Warmaster" Sun Lord Macharius, who launched the Second Great Expedition in the early 41st year.
As an inferior replacement for the Baneblade, the Macharius Heavy Tank was the most common heavy tank in the Imperial Guard by the end of the 41st Millennium.
But this commonness is still relative. In terms of strategic positioning, it is still a valuable and high-value war technology weapon. Many Imperial Guard armored regiments are even still equipped with old Malcador heavy tanks.
The Macharius heavy tank is produced in the Lucius Forge World adjacent to the Gothic Sector. It weighs 174 tons, is 10.9 meters long, 7 meters wide, 4.8 meters high, and has a chassis ground clearance of 0.45 meters.
The equivalent thickness of the armor is similar to that of the Emperor's Bane Blade, with only the structural armor on the hull being 10 mm thinner. Overall, there is not much difference.
However, due to its simpler structure, its production efficiency is three to four times that of the Emperor's Bane Blade. Therefore, it is widely equipped in various star realm legions in the Hazy Star Field, and is also the standard equipment of the Krieg Death Corps.
However, due to its overall size being smaller than that of the Baneblade, the number of secondary weapons it is equipped with is far less than that of the Baneblade, so it is slightly lacking in anti-infantry and is not as versatile as the Emperor's Baneblade.
But as part of an organized combat system, this small flaw will be compensated by the accompanying infantry and the Leman Russ tanks and Chimera chariots that follow in combat.
It remains the most popular heavy tank in the Imperial Army and the one most likely to be equipped and replenished.
Under the guidance of the forward reconnaissance and firepower of three Leman Russ tanks, three Macharius heavy tanks slowly drove along the road towards the defense line of the brigade headquarters where bullets were flying.
Just as the big boss was immersed in the tempting roar of the KingBoss heavy tank, he caught a glimpse of the blue shrimp riding on the long-legged quadruped beast, swinging the bright red holy blood chainsaw sword and slashing at its bald head.
!
The greenskin boss was startled and raised his hands to try to block. Having learned the lesson from being hit hard by Horatio before, this time he held the knife with both hands.
Ping!
Horatio rushed forward with his sword, and although the greenskin boss had anticipated this and blocked the blow with his heavy sword, he managed to escape the blow with the help of his flexible horse, and pulled away before the greenskin swung his sword to counterattack. Before he could put away his sword, Horatio, riding on his warhorse, rushed again.
This inky black horse was not afraid of the ferocious beast in front of it. The bloodline carefully bred by the Attila people made this warhorse, which had ancient Terran bloodline but was fed with feed and meat every day, extremely ferocious. It was not at all as easily frightened as the horses Horatio had seen in his previous life.
As it ran, its smooth and soft fur was covered with blood-red sweat, and its nostrils expanded into a round shape, spewing out white smoke that looked like steam.
With a roar, it carried Horatio and crashed directly into the greenskin leader.
"Huh?!" When the greenskin leader was about to block again like in a turn-based system, he suddenly found that the attack he was facing was very different from the previous one. The tall, dark horse in front of him raised its hooves and kicked at him hard, while the blue shrimp he was riding raised his chainsaw sword at the same time.
