Chapter 142 I really want to leave, really!
Although Sark and Tenos had never seen an Astartes before, their experience just now told them that these big men must have a high status.
As a result, Tenos swooped forward, hugged the unsuspecting Bals' thigh, and began to grab the ground with his head, crying loudly.
The howl shook the earth, and I barely squeezed out two tears.
In an instant, behind Sark, the sounds of pistols being loaded were heard one after another, and the soldiers of the Mortal Auxiliary Army burst out with astonishing murderous intent.
Sark felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
"That... Tenos, we..."
"We are really innocent. I am just a cook, who comes out to find ingredients and brings that young boy out to see the world!!! The things here really have nothing to do with us. I beg you! You guys Just let us go back, wuwu~~~"
Although Ternos didn't shed many tears, his nose had enough snot and the tears...were shed alone. He looked like he was mourning. He was even sadder than being a eunuch and having his wife die and the child not being his.
Sack was stunned for a while, feeling the cold wind behind him. He gritted his teeth, knelt down and started shouting.
Bals finally came to his senses and vaguely heard something like "cook" and "don't kill me".
"Chef? What level is it? Is it reliable?"
Speaking of this matter, Tenos' face turned serious and he became serious. He stood up straight, cleaned up his face and clothes, and said with a serious face, "I am the national stunt chef of Hongjiqi Kingdom, the first place in the World Innovative Culinary Competition, and the inventor of the Hongx cooking school. , the great tutor of the Food Materials Department of Tianshi Academy, Tenos."
Afterwards, Tenos wiped his face again, then suddenly knelt down and continued to cry while holding Bals' thigh.
"I'm really just a cook. I don't know how to fight. Don't bring me on board. I'm useless!"
Bals glanced at the countless furious mortal warriors behind him, and gently pressed his palms to signal them not to take action.
"What if I told you that if you come with us, you can see and have ingredients from countless other planets, and you can study cooking to your heart's content?"
"Huh!? Really?"
"real!"
"Sark, let's go!"
Everyone looked at the two people in confusion. Is it that simple? The mortal warrior responsible for persuasion was stunned. Is this the legendary way of seizing a flaw and killing him with one blow?
Sack didn't think about it for a while, "Tenos, wake up, this is a life-and-death business."
"What are we doing here?"
"Looking for ancient... ingredients."
"Is it dangerous?"
"Danger... right?"
"Isn't this also a life-and-death business? If we follow them, what's the difference from now? Isn't it just that we go farther? Dangerous? Only in dangerous places can we find the rarest and most precious ingredients in the world."
Sark looked at Tenos with a look of disbelief. Where did his determination to never get on the boat go? You are a gourmet explorer who is willing to risk your life for the ingredients. I am not. Why are you holding me back to death?
As a result, Bals slowly walked towards the depths of the camp under the admiring eyes of the mortals, leaving only Tenos, who was constantly completing his self-persuasion, and Sark, who was being fooled for a while.
In just two words, I tricked two people into working for me for the rest of their lives. Huh, it’s just so unreasonable.
I definitely didn’t use any psychic means, no!
Our group has always treated every mortal as an equal and is willing to respect everyone who fulfills their responsibilities. They were moved by the good atmosphere of our group and voluntarily joined us!
Two mortals are not enough to attract his attention. Leaving this world now is the most important thing. Baers hurried to find Yifeng.
Then.......
Ten years passed in a flash.
The Red Torrent Chapter lived a very prosperous life in this galaxy.
The post-Wenk world was directly integrated into a whole by our war group. The major countries that had been divided for thousands of years were finally wiped out and the world was unified.
There are hive cities on several large islands, and they have grown to amazing proportions.
Many of them actually believe that this is a natural thing like mountains, a gift from God to human beings to live in. The angry Astartes immediately sent Mr. Nian Cijin to conduct "gentle" persuasion, and the effect was very good.
None of this is the point.
After the war group counted the population here and gradually completed their personal information, they were surprised to find that the people here had mutated.
Originally, Yifeng was prepared. This place seemed very peaceful, but the corresponding subspace vortex was very violent, and many psykers would definitely appear. However, the people here seemed to have evolved in the opposite direction.
The human spirit here generally manifests itself as inertia.
According to the empire's 24-level classification of psychic powers, there are seven levels below ordinary people. If the untouchables reach minus seven levels, the average person here is about minus two and a half levels.
Most people have no talent for psychic powers at all, and a few are even immune to certain psychic attacks.
After ten years of improving local population information, the Chapter even found four untouchables in one go. In this place with a population of billions, the density is really too high.
This also caused some problems in the transformation of Astartes.
The gene-seed of the Astartes is essentially a product of the subspace, which is why some warriors in extreme states can even travel through time to meet their genetic father.
When these seeds are transformed on the people here, it takes much longer than normal transformation, but the "magic resistance" of these warriors is also much higher.
Among them, White Scar, the father of genes, has psychic seeds and has a very low success rate. Others are normal.
Yifeng believes that the White Scar Warrior has actually been using his psychic powers, because this may be a passive skill called discovering the enemy's weaknesses.
(It’s definitely not the self-doubt he had when he endured huge amounts of pain under the skeletal shield of Sister Silence for a long time, absolutely not!! Woohoo~~~)
In addition to these factors, the Chapter's technology also ushered in a revolution.
The technical sergeant's overtime period forced Anos to put down the half-researched STC template fragments (from the World Eaters) to help the new recruits get the gravity-free flying device.
This technology is still not perfect, the STC template is a bit too incomplete, and the current technology does not support the manufacturing of related devices with too strong buoyancy.
Unless the surroundings are filled with related devices (murals) like a steel dragon, or like a steel python, one is installed in each carriage.
But for a gravity-free motorcycle, it's enough.
Jie Jie Jie~~The white scarred warrior was ecstatic.
The weapon arsenal technology that resembled the giant steel python was analyzed first, and the Red Torrent Chapter concentrated its existing resources to create a No. 1 test product.
Its twenty-eight "carriages" are all loaded with weapons. Of course, "for safety reasons", AI is not used for full control. The main control method is a descendant of the Iron Hands Primoralis who rides on the snake head for overall control.
The AI is disguised as an auxiliary aiming system.
This steel python is named "Supply Transport No. 1". The unpretentious name will give a big surprise to the casual enemy on the battlefield.
Although there are twenty-eight carriages, only eight carriages are used for transportation. Except for the six carriages responsible for the power system, energy system, deflection position and other related systems, the other twelve carriages are all military vehicles. A fortress with plenty of firepower.
What? What are the other two carriages for, you ask?
Then we have to mention our soldier who had his heart pierced by a steel needle.
After careful study by everyone, it was discovered that the disguised power needle missile disguised as a carriage was very effective (insidious), so two doors were installed.
Other robot projects have not made much progress. After all, if you want to make a robot with high combat power, why not make an Astartes from a cost perspective? Robots with low combat power are not only easily corrupted by Chaos, but also consume more materials than they gain.
Wouldn’t it be nice to build more sweepers of a certain type?
As a result, this technology was used by Anos to tinker with it, causing disaster for the Great Think Tank's Psychic Dreadnought.
The Red Torrent Chapter has launched a vigorous construction project in this galaxy, gradually replacing all the backward technological products that can be seen with equipment with higher efficiency. In terms of internal affairs, under the leadership of Guilliman's descendants, it has gradually embarked on a great development. development period.
Although Dovlit was deeply poisoned by the ice and entered a stasis position, the warriors of the Emperor's Scythe were still fighting bravely, but under the arrangement of Yifeng, they gradually switched to civilian duties, such as the current leader, Prophecy Sisyphus was the president of the Psychic University.
The heirs of Guilliman brought in the war group were also trained to serve as consuls in the world they conquered later.
As Anos said, "Most of the recruit manufacturing facilities and biological organ manufacturing facilities have been relocated to the post-Wenk world. The mineral resources of the system do not support the Chapter's continued stay here."
Yifeng finally reluctantly issued the order for the expedition.
Of course, there was an all-army martial arts show before that. The Lamenter warrior with the blood of the Archangel "made it all the way to the finals without any hindrance." Then Kazanev personally took action and beat him to the point of suspicion. Life.
Now that the weeper is shutting up in the cabin, Yifeng feels that the time is almost up and is ready to go!
As a leader, Yifeng will never completely trust a psyker, even his own battle brother. After all, he is fully aware of Tzeentch's authority. It is too easy for him to use small tricks to deceive a psyker.
A strange light shone at Mandeville Point. Bars stood behind the navigator to guide them, while Yifeng stood at the front.
This is the position that the battleship will only appear in when it is most critical. When the battleship is fighting fiercely with the chaos of subspace, the untouchables will stand in front of the navigator to resist the corrosion from chaos. The navigator will withstand several times of pain, guiding the battleship out of the danger zone.
This is a test for everyone.
The battleship slowly sailed into the subspace, and the Astartes warriors who stayed behind silently returned to their posts.
They are about to face an unknown future and perhaps a hundred, thousand, or ten thousand years of loneliness.
as always.
In the chaotic subspace, raging subspace waves hit the Eternal Mountain battleship wave after wave. From time to time, many undercurrents appeared, passing by the battleship with the power to destroy everything.
Baina Pao carefully flew at the front of the battleship, avoiding one fatal threat after another.
The navigators screamed in pain, loudly chanting holy chants of the Emperor, trying to see the route clearly among the chaotic warp phenomena, but the only responses they received were more noisy, meaningless sounds.
Suddenly, the battleship jolted, and even the Astartes felt the obvious impact of centrifugal force.
The battleship performed a tactical evasion in extreme mode, plunging directly into another vortex through the gap between the vortex and the undercurrent.
"No, Bars, what's going on? Are we still on the channel?"
"Xiang...trust me."
Balth's psychic energy was on the verge of going berserk. The radiance of psychic energy filled his eyes, and there was faint psychic lightning overflowing. The air around him was stagnant, and the soldiers guarding him had to use all their strength to move.
This was not because Bainapao deliberately tricked Yifeng. It discovered something in the vortex. After its "rigorous calculation", after a few head-scratching moments, it led the battle barge into the largest vortex. .
For thousands of years, countless warships that have tried to enter this galaxy have been smashed to pieces by the undercurrent here, but those that have entered the vortex are better off, such as ships with strong protective capabilities.
Their power may not be enough to break out of here, but the subspace storm has not completely shattered their protection, so they can survive.
Survive only by the supplies in his own ship.
There is no time in subspace, who knows how long he can last.
But just a broken battle barge drifting in the warp will not attract Bainapao's attention. It is not worth the risk.
This time, it found something even more valuable.
At the center of other vortices, there are a lot of subspace settlements, basically "tribes" formed by broken battleship fragments and a bunch of weird subspace creatures. But the center of this vortex is different. It also belongs to Imperial jurisdiction.
What exists here is a Mechanical Ark, or something as big as a Mechanical Ark.
This is a giant structure that was originally composed of several large battleships of the Mechanicus. When the Mechanicus found themselves trapped in the center of this vortex, a place where the subspace was very peaceful but unable to get out, they did not choose to give up. .
They fought hard against the local subspace creatures and drove the enemies away with their powerful firepower.
They gathered (crossed out) to rob and collect a large number of battleship wreckage, sifting out the gadgets that could still be used from these severely corroded metals.
For countless years, they kowtowed countless times in front of the forge, performed countless purification rituals, and repaired their great ark, surviving.
I don’t know how much time passed, but several Geller positions of this Mechanical Ark were used in rotation, but they were still slowly being damaged, and the entire Ark was declining.
The corrosion of the subspace is getting more and more serious. More and more places in the Mechanical Ark are losing control and being corrupted. The Mechanicum personnel there are also beginning to gradually fall to the side of Chaos.
Fortunately, the "important" Mechanicus personnel can conduct self-tests and completely replace the corroded metal.
Recently, there have been fewer and fewer replacement parts available, the pressure on the supreme leader has increased, and there have been more and more members of the faction within the Mechanicus that advocates a final push or failure or death.
Of course, there are benefits. After entering here, a lot of resources have been poured into subspace research. After driving dozens of Mechanicus leaders crazy, their subspace technology has also made some progress.
Now, the Mechanical Archbishop here is opening the most important meeting.
"The heretical forces have taken control of 54% of the area. We must find a way to fight back forcefully."
"After the last battleship wreckage has been cleaned up, only about 3% of the metal can be used. After the loss, the safe metal we can obtain is not enough to support our production for another five years."
"The Subspace Research Department sent information that they have completed the transformation of the new generation subspace engine, but according to the performance test results, the probability of breaking through the vortex is less than 13%."
"The High Energy Observation Department shows that the heretics seem to have built a powerful subspace facility, and its fluctuations are no less than a subspace jump."
"The subspace creatures launched an attack on the third warehouse, and they tried to take it back."
.........
When the Mechanical Archbishop heard this lot of bad news, he shook his mechanical arm slightly and was very impatient.
"Is there any result in the jump department?"
"No, all the detectors that jumped into the real universe in the middle of this vortex have no echo."
"Then... let Docris get ready, we..." Before the Archbishop could finish his sentence, the alarm sounded throughout the Mechanical Ark.
"Archbishop, there are new battleships coming in, and the fluctuations are not small."
"Ready to fight."
After so long, the battleships that came in were killed by them without exception and became part of their mechanical ark.
A piece of rag first appeared in the core area of the whirlpool. The Baina robe protected the battle group and got in here, and then a precise fire attack came.
"Alert, alert, area A, 123-213-359, damaged."
The Astartes put on their armor and entered the fighting state immediately.
"Captain Yifeng! We are under strong attack, and the bird servant instrument shows that there is something ridiculously big in front of us."
At this time, Yifeng was standing at the front of the navigation room, tilting his head and questioning Bals.
"Bars, where are you, what's going on now!?"
"Chapter Commander, this seems to be the center of a subspace vortex. It should be very peaceful, but there seems to be a Dark Mechanicus."
"No, why are we here? My order is to leave this storm area as soon as possible!"
"I don't know, my spirit is guiding me here."
"You are not a prophecy...@#\u0026%*Okay, it doesn't matter if he is the emperor or something else, let's see."
The psychic radiance in Baars's eyes shone brighter and brighter, and the sound he made was completely different from his usual tone.
"Dark Mechanicus? Is it a subspace stronghold? Send me an order. All soldiers are ready to join the gang. The power of the battleship's void shield is increased and it reaches the operating range of the detector."
"The detector shows that the enemy is protected by a void shield and a Geller position."
"That's right, the fire brigade and the first company are ready to join the gang."
The soldiers cheered up. The place without Geller's position was very dangerous. The leader of the Yifeng Chapter would probably let the warships enter or even abandon some warship areas, directly connecting with the enemy.
They were going to pass through the blasted ruins, protected by the weak Geller position, while resisting the erosion of the subspace, while rushing in to tear the enemy into pieces.
The bombardment began, the naval guns adjusted their angles, and the macro cannon and bombardment cannon fired at the same time, attacking a group of void shields in front.
On the Mechanical Ark, the Mechanical Archbishop was shocked and secretly delighted.
The comers were very powerful, actually a large group of Astartes, and their winning rate was very slim.
But the Astartes were now bombarding areas controlled by the heretics.
"Archbishop, the communication system has been warmed up and can establish contact with the enemy."
"Don't worry, let them bombard us for a while. When they attack our occupied area, call again... No, send a distress signal again."
The Archbishop is determined to turn these people into Mechanicus survivors who fight bravely against the heresy. Although they will temporarily lose a little status, they can ensure that the "normal" Astartes will not give them away.
At least have some contact.
The Mechanicum's firepower is "fierce", but under the corrosion of the subspace, the outermost "normal" cannons have been corroded, and are now spitting out indescribable things to attack the Eternal Mountain.
The corrupted heretics shouted blasphemies and stuffed lumps of flesh and blood creations into cannons.
Mainly creations made of corroded steel that turned into flesh, these "cannonballs" laughed "hahahaha" and "spit" at the Eternal Mountain.
A long bloody bullet mark appeared in the subspace, flying towards the Eternal Mountain.
This made the machine soul of the Eternal Mountain extremely angry. The entire battle barge reached its limit, pouring firepower at the opposite creation with the highest efficiency.
The cooldown time of the light spear was further shortened, and the mortal who controlled it was startled, thinking that there was something wrong.
And the enemy's large pile of mechanical creations suddenly started to move with strange patterns.
The huge bow at that corner suddenly turned into flesh and blood, and the muzzles of the cannons tightened and turned into needles on the scale of a battleship.
The cannonballs were compressed and turned into highly toxic and corrosive juice.
The corner of the Mechanical Ark cracked open, revealing a pile of white bones. The pile of bones turned into a chain and wound towards the Eternal Mountain. The huge crack was like a bloody mouth, always ready to suck out teeth containing highly toxic juice. .......The bone cannon was stuffed into the interior of the Eternal Mountain.
And our Eternal Mountain looked down upon the enemy and flew straight into this big mouth, bite me? Aren't you afraid of chipping your teeth?
Do you think my name was chosen casually?
