Chapter 544: Irritability and Disdain
The Hummingbird assault boat cut through the sky like a flash of lightning. Under the skillful control of those experienced and battle-hardened elite veterans, it rushed towards the wreckage of buildings in the hive world at lightning speed, and finally stopped steadily at one of them.
"Get off the assault boat! Hurry up!" As the Hummingbird assault boat's flight speed came to an abrupt halt, the pilots shouted in unison in panic.
At the same time, the heavy hatch of the Hummingbird assault boat opened quickly and smoothly as if by magic.
"Hurry up! Keep up with me!" The elite veteran leading the team looked at the team with sharp eyes and shouted at the top of his lungs at the group of new recruits.
Before he finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed out of the Hummingbird assault boat like an arrow, heading straight for the bunker not far away.
The new recruits were awakened by the deafening roars, and came to their senses as if waking from a dream. They followed closely behind the veteran who led the charge, and ran towards the nearby bunker with vigorous steps.
After all the Space Marines filed out, the drivers of the Hummingbird assault boats did not dare to delay at all. They operated the joysticks at lightning speed to rapidly increase the altitude of the Hummingbird assault boats.
After all, no one wanted to let this extremely precious assault boat stay on the ground for too long, lest it become the target of the Germa Hive World's planetary defense forces and suffer from intensive firepower attacks.
Although ordinary attacks are unlikely to cause substantial damage to the exceptionally sturdy Hummingbird assault boats, for these Sharknado Space Marines who have long suffered from poverty, if such sophisticated equipment could be destroyed so easily, it would be heartbreaking and painful!
At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly sounded—"Boom!"
It turned out that the Hummingbird assault boat had just left the landing site, and a barrage of whistling shells came one after another, slamming hard into the place where it had just stopped, stirring up a cloud of smoke and flames that covered the sky.
"How despicable! This reckless fellow actually dared to attack my extremely precious Hummingbird assault craft!"
An angry voice roared out from the mouth of the Hummingbird assault boat driver, and he stared angrily at the shocking explosion at the landing point.
The anger in his heart instantly burned. He gripped the joystick tightly with both hands and drove the Hummingbird assault boat like an arrow, rushing towards the direction of the attack at an astonishing speed.
With the roar of its engines, the Hummingbird assault boat cut a sharp arc through the air. Soon, alerted by the radar, the pilot keenly spotted a hidden artillery position.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he controlled the powerful melta cannon at the front of the assault boat without hesitation.
He lightly pressed the trigger with his finger. Instantly, with a loud "puff," a thick, blazing fireball whizzed out of the barrel of the melta cannon, like a flaming dragon, charging straight towards the ammunition depot in the artillery position with boundless power.
The planetary defense force soldiers who were attacking the Hummingbird assault craft all showed expressions of horror on their faces when they witnessed this scene.
They opened their eyes wide and saw the melta bombs shooting straight towards the ammunition depot, but it was too late to escape.
At the moment when the hot melt shell slammed into the ammunition depot, time seemed to freeze.
Then, a deafening roar erupted. The entire ammunition depot, like a tinderbox, instantly erupted in flames, triggering a devastating explosion.
Flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the surrounding night sky. A powerful shockwave, like a surging ocean wave, swept across the surrounding area, leaving devastation in its wake. Thick smoke billowed, obscuring the sky and completely engulfing the entire artillery position.
"Boom!" Another series of even more violent explosions rang out, one after another, without stopping. At this moment, the earth began to tremble, as if the end of the world had come.
When everything finally calmed down, the place where the artillery position had stood completely disappeared. Now all that was left was a bottomless, huge pit with wisps of black smoke rising from it.
The surrounding land was blasted to a scorched black, leaving no grass behind. The planetary defense force was completely wiped out in this sudden attack.
"The new guy is awesome!"
The driver looked at the miserable and devastated scene of the artillery position in front of him, and could not suppress his excitement and joy. He couldn't help but stretch out his palm and slapped the operating handle of the Hummingbird assault boat heavily, and gave it heartfelt praise without hesitation.
However, at this moment, a cold, emotionless electronic voice suddenly rang out from the cockpit:
"Sir, please stop hitting the joystick so hard immediately. If your improper behavior causes the joystick to be damaged, I will take over the control without hesitation and will never allow you to drive me again."
The sudden warning sound instantly brought the driver, who was still immersed in excitement, back to his senses. A trace of embarrassment and apology appeared on his face, and he quickly said with a smile:
"Hahaha! I'm so sorry, I was really too excited just now. I promise I will never do this again next time!"
Despite being complained by an intelligent system, the driver did not seem to take it to heart. After all, he was already satisfied to have the opportunity to drive a Hummingbird assault boat with such excellent performance.
The intelligent systems on board these Hummingbird assault boats were far more advanced than those found in ordinary power armor. It was precisely because of this highly intelligent system that the many Astartes warriors who piloted them loved and praised them so much.
With the assistance of this powerful and reliable intelligent partner, they can fully tap the huge potential power of the Hummingbird assault boat and thus maneuver around the battlefield like a fish in water.
This is not comparable to the Storm Crow assault boat developed by the Mechanicus in the Empire. Whether in terms of performance, attack or defense, it is countless times stronger than the Storm Crow.
"I hope so!" The intelligent assistance system responded coldly to the driver.
The driver quickly regained his composure and continued to control the assault boat towards the air defense position scanned by the radar.
Hummingbird assault craft are not only responsible for transporting Space Marines, but also for destroying air defense positions on Germa hive worlds.
