Chapter 177 Alien Spaceship
Chapter 177 Alien Spaceship
Drago decided to hand Howard over to the Inquisition, who would then bring the mortal to Holy Terra.
He did not think this was an exaggeration. The mysterious demon was terrifyingly powerful and might be the most powerful enemy the empire had faced in the past hundred years, except for the Four Gods of Chaos.
However, this mortal seemed to have signed a contract with the demon. Although it was unknown why such a powerful demon would sign a contract with such a weak person, this human must have a better understanding of the demon.
Under the Emperor's glory, the Inquisition will torture this mortal to extract the secrets. In the future, when the Empire really faces that demon, these precious secrets extracted may give the Empire a better chance of victory.
As for himself, Drago had already made up his mind. After he handed this mortal over to the Inquisition, he would return to the battlefield with a Sister of Silence and try to assassinate the war boss of this group of orcs.
If Howard knew what Drago was thinking, he would probably chuckle, because he did not sign a contract with the mysterious demon with terrifying power, but directly signed a contract with the demon's boss, who was just an employee.
After making this decision, Drago began to retreat with Howard, but this was not an easy task. First, he was surrounded by a large number of orcs. Second, he did not know the direction and distance of the imperial army on the planet.
So Drago fought off the orcs who kept climbing onto the siege catapult, while observing his surroundings with his superhuman eyesight, and soon he found something strange.
Unnoticed by the enraged Orcs, subtle psychic fluctuations emanated from a narrow, shadowy area beneath the undulating sand dunes. Drago continued to focus his gaze on that area and discovered several small, narrow craft flying low to the ground. These craft were, to varying degrees, optically concealed and silent, so even the vast Orc army was unable to detect their presence.
Judging from the trajectory, the destination of these spaceships is the orc city in the distance.
Drago first ruled out the possibility that these spaceships were orc machines, because the appearance of these spaceships was smooth and graceful, which was completely different from the rough and violent war machines of the orcs. However, these spaceships did not seem to be human vehicles, because it was difficult for human vehicles to have such excellent performance.
If Drago had not noticed this anomaly, he might have retreated in the direction the orc army had originally advanced, because every time the orcs attacked, they were either going to plunder or to fight, and as long as he followed the direction of the army, he would always encounter orc enemies.
But now that he had discovered these strange spaceships, he could no longer force himself to pretend he hadn't seen them.
He knew very well that although the harm posed by the orcs was enormous, it was always on the visible surface. These suspicious elements wandering in the shadow of the empire would often bring completely unforeseen and huge damage to the empire in unexpected places.
Moreover, as a veteran who had experienced many battles, his instinct told him that there might be some connection between the appearance of these strange spaceships and the flood of orcs on this planet.
Having determined the new target, Drago jumped down from the tall wreckage of the catapult, knocking aside all the orcs blocking his way and rushing towards the spaceships hiding in the shadows.
When he was only a few kilometers away from the spacecraft, the pilots of the spacecrafts apparently realized they were being targeted, and the spacecrafts began to perform more aggressive maneuvers. Originally flying slowly and stealthily, their speed suddenly increased, stirring up dust on the fine yellow sand.
Originally, few orcs could detect anything unusual even if these spaceships flew close to the orcs in the shadows. But now, due to the increased speed, when these spaceships passed by the orcs not far away, most of the orcs would notice this inexplicable strange wind and then scratch their heads in confusion.
But even so, Drago still followed these spaceships closely and continued to narrow the distance between them.
Drago's pressure forced the ships to make more daring maneuvers, so their concealment was completely ineffective and they were completely exposed to the orc army.
"Waaagh!"
Many orcs suddenly found a group of alien spaceships appearing around them. They were completely unable to understand the principles behind them, but they knew they had to smash these spaceships, so they picked up the weapons in their hands, from machine guns to fragmentation grenades to small missiles, and fired at the spaceships.
Seeing that their infiltration had been discovered, the spacecraft completely turned off their optical camouflage and began to fight back.
These ships did not use energy weapons, but instead used their sturdy heads and excellent maneuverability to shuttle back and forth among the greenskins and tear them apart like swordfish preying on a school of sardines.
They were fast and accurate, barely avoiding attacks that could cause them damage, while quickly eliminating the heavy firepower of the Run Legion.
The orcs are enemies, but Drago does not consider the enemy of his enemy to be a friend. In this cruel universe, even comrades who have experienced life and death may suddenly betray him, and the enemy of his enemy is often a more difficult enemy.
Drago accelerated and rushed towards the spaceships. He might not be able to kill all the orcs in front of him at once, but he might be able to destroy all the spaceships and the things inside them at once.
After sprinting into firing range, Drago raised his armor's hand cannon and fired at the nearest mysterious craft. The Grey Knights' Terminator armor was the cream of Imperial industry, loaded with the Empire's finest weaponry. The quality of its projectiles far surpassed the Orks' crudely crafted, flame-filled iron balls.
The hand cannon fired by Drago accurately hit the tail of the spaceship. These slender spaceships lost balance instantly, and more orc attacks followed. Soon, the spaceship completely lost power and paralyzed on the ground.
Because they were moving at high speed and Howard did not have superhuman dynamic vision, everything around him looked no different from the scene on a roller coaster to him. Now that Drago's speed was gradually slowing down and the spaceships had stopped, Howard could finally take a closer look at the appearance of the spaceships.
These spaceships are completely sealed and should use anti-gravity engines. The shape of the spaceship is a bit like Dolphin No. 101 in "Ultraman Tiga". The highest point of the spaceship is about three or four meters from the ground, which is about the same height as Drago when he stands upright in armor, but the length is three times that of Drago.
The overall color of the spacecraft is black and white, and a special logo is painted in gold at the front of the spacecraft.
The main body of the logo looks like a fish bone, with a golden equilateral triangle like a fish head, two horns growing on the two oblique sides of the triangle, and a golden line extending from the center of the base of the triangle like a fish spine. Golden line segments like fish bones also extend on both sides of the golden line, but the tail of the fish bone is replaced by a curved arc, and at the tip of the triangle there is a golden Möbius strip logo.
