Chapter 189 Cleaning the Line
In the underground world of the Nest City, there are cement pipes more than ten meters in diameter, which are interconnected and extremely complex.
Russell chose to clean the cable conduits first.
To help Russell and his team complete their mission more effectively, the Mechanicus member Steeltooth also chose to join Kashejin.
They entered the cable tunnel through the ground passage, where fortunately, many low-power induction energy-saving lights were installed.
After entering the passage, Russell looked up at the top of the concrete pipe and asked: How many meters high is this pipe?
Steel Teeth scanned the area with his eyes and said: "About 15 meters. This is the main passage of a secondary line. The main passage of the primary line is about 20 meters."
"What's sabotaging these lines?" Russell asked.
"Some mutant races that have lived in the underground world for many years!"
"Sneaky?"
It is not surprising that countless mutants live beneath each Nest World.
"There are some cunning ones, but not all of them; there are also some other mutants!"
"How do you maintain these lines?" Russell was very curious about how such a dense network of lines could be maintained.
"We will manufacture a large number of machine servants, as well as miniature robots!"
"Since you have robots, why don't you just deploy some armed robots?"
“We did deploy quite a few armed robots before. After several battles, we found that these robots were extremely destructive, whether to enemies or cables. We had no choice but to limit their destructive power. As the robots’ strength weakened, the losses became greater and greater. We could only keep sending out elite troops to carry out sweeps. Then the armed robots could be guaranteed for 5 years. If there were Space Marine chapters, we would ask them for help. Now that there are no Space Marines, we can only beg you!” Steeltooth explained very clearly.
"Without the use of firearms, our strength is no match for the Space Marines!" Russell admitted frankly.
“I understand, but there’s nothing I can do about it, which is why I’m sending you extra weapons!”
When they arrived, Steel Gear said that they couldn't use firearms, so Russell wanted to quit. Although he liked anti-gravity motorcycles, he didn't want to risk his brothers' lives.
After negotiations, Steeltooth had no choice but to request some Storm Shields and powered weapons from the Mechanics Cult. Russell, on the other hand, carried a heavy Storm Shield. Only with these equipment did Russell agree to follow Steeltooth into the underground tunnel.
To deal with cunning and agile mutants, blunt weapons are clearly less effective than lightweight weapons; a powered short spear is the most suitable.
Many of them were now equipped with short spears.
Just as the two were talking, a scout ran over and reported: "Lord Russell, we have found the body of a servant ahead!"
Russell nodded and raised his shield toward the servant.
In the dim light, the servant looked as if it had been torn apart by something.
Steel Teeth crouched down and observed carefully for a while before saying: He must have been torn apart by a ferocious beast.
"Can you tell how long he's been dead?" Russell asked.
Steel Teeth glanced at it and said: Two hours ago.
"In such a short time, the enemy must not have gone far!" Russell guessed.
"Everyone be careful, the enemy may be appearing!" Russell warned the Kashejin warriors behind him in a low voice.
"Steeltooth, hide behind me!" Russell didn't want Steeltooth to die so soon; he needed Steeltooth's help to successfully complete the mission.
Steel Teeth hid inside the shield formation.
They continued forward and soon discovered the corpses of several more servants, as well as the corpse of an armed robot, which had now been reduced to a pile of parts.
Russell knew the enemy was getting closer, and his grip on his shield tightened.
"Up there!" Leos shouted.
Russell looked up abruptly and saw several spider-like figures overhead. These monsters were hissing and had long, blood-red tongues hanging out.
"Fire!" Russell said in a deep voice.
Several Kashejin warriors took out their portable composite heavy crossbows and unleashed a barrage of fire at the monster above.
"Whoosh, whoosh..." The sound of arrows piercing the air was incessant as steel arrows flew towards the monsters overhead.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The monsters were hit by the crossbow bolts, let out a roar, and then pounced on Russell and his group like madmen.
These crossbow bolts are not used to kill monsters, but to lure them in.
The attraction proved to be very successful.
The monsters pounced down, raising their claws to attack the Kashejin warriors, who quickly raised their Storm Shields to block the monsters' attacks.
A blind monster dared to pounce on Russell.
Russell waited until the monster's claws came down before suddenly slamming his shield up.
With a loud thud, the enormous monster was sent flying.
The monster let out a shrill scream in mid-air, showing how heavy Russell's blow was.
"Keep your formation, don't panic!" Leos roared as he stabbed a monster to death.
In just over ten minutes, all of these monsters were killed!
Russell glanced at the corpses on the ground and said: "I can tell that these are all cunning thieves. But there is one thing I don't understand. Why do these cunning thieves all look different?"
Steel Teeth first conducted a comprehensive scan of the sly, and after transmitting the data, he said: I have been collecting data, and so far I have more than 2000 different kinds of sly.
Russell was taken aback and exclaimed: "More than 2000 kinds of cunning chickens?"
Steel toothed track: Yes, I think there will be other types as well.
After Steeltooth returned to the group, Russell and his men continued on their way.
Soon he heard some sounds of fighting.
"Our organic servants need our support!" Russell grabbed his shield and charged forward.
He soon saw several armed thieves besieging an armed robot.
Being surrounded, the robot was in a sorry state, with most of its weapons knocked down.
"Get out of my way!" Russell roared as he charged forward.
He charged forward without giving the cunning fellow a chance to swing his shield.
The two sly thieves couldn't dodge in time and were knocked away. The rest of the sly thieves roared and launched an attack on Russell.
Russell smiled slightly and waved the "Blood Drinker" in his hand.
With a loud thud, a massive warhammer slammed into the Storm Shield. An ordinary Kashejin warrior would have been knocked to the ground by this blow, but Russell remained unmoved.
Just as the three-armed sly was about to raise the heavy hammer and swing it again.
The Blood Drinker slashed at the cunning man's arm.
The cunning man's two arms were severed, and with only one arm remaining, he could no longer use the hammer, which fell to the ground.
