Chapter 546 Kaul: I always feel a subtle sense of loss-
The Elisian Stonehenge is an ancient ruin that has existed on the surface of the planet Cadia since every Cadian can remember. .
According to the research of the Mechanicum, its actual history exceeds the sum of the ages known to mankind. The reason why it is not considered to be a naturally formed miraculous work must have been built by an ancient intelligent race. The huge ground scenery is because the black stone towers here have dimensions that are impossible to create by nature: although each tower is designed differently, the ground height of each tower is exactly five hundred meters, while underground department The length must be 250 meters, and there are extremely small tunnels dug into its inner core, only as wide as a human head. The length of the tunnels inside each tower is also 250 meters according to years of research by the Mechanicus. , but it is very difficult to further obtain more information: because the results of the auspicious scans of them are always blurred or severely shielded, and attempts to use modified servitors or other methods to enter the tunnel will eventually end. Lost contact and cannot return.
Moreover, their number is as high as more than 7,000, and 5,810 of them have been discovered. They are unevenly distributed on the entire surface of Cadia, and some have even been buried for many years. Yes, but there is only one place where they have the highest density, and that is the place that these commanders who are already familiar with the war zone map think of: the Alisian Stonehenge.
The ruins of this ancient, densely packed Black Stone Tower arranged with various unknown mysterious rules are located north of Clough Castle, close to the place where the Dark Angels fell, and earlier, in space It was here that the Wild Wolf's Iron Wolf Company tried to ambush the mysterious Iron Warriors armored force that landed here - of course, the Wolf Lord of Gaogang had noticed that in Moqiu On the military situation map given by Leith, an entire armored force is missing on the opposite side, but now the number of friendly armored forces fighting bravely and impeccably on the front of the southern city wall and the southeast corner and those wonderful, ancient sacred The number of war machines seemed to be a slight coincidence - but after observing the defense situation of the southern city wall for a while, Old Wolf decided to remain silent for the time being.
——Our command headquarters is sitting in a panic with the demon champion brought in by the Inquisitor’s envoy as the main cogitator. At this time, we are still worried that the missing Iron Warrior is not the work of a clever wild wolf——and now he is here, Some units of the Iron Wolf Dalian Company have also been quietly deployed on the southern city wall. As long as some people dare to show any movement that is harmful to the empire or... a cold light flashes across the Wolf Lord's eyes.
Wolf Priest Asgo Tieya's somewhat vague but clear warning to them to obey the command came to his mind again. Gao Gang patiently waited for the next battle assignment. There were still many battle fronts and The place needed to be adjusted and supplemented urgently, but finally he got what he wanted to hear most.
"About Sven Bloodhowl's Firehowling Company and the reinforcements of the Thirteenth Cadian Guards Regiment," the Thirteenth Primarch's amber eyes looked at the projection of one of the fleet commanders. , "What does the Commander of the Iron Hands think of this?"
"We have sent a formation of Dreadnoughts and Special Terminators through the Stormbirds to respond. The calculation has been completed and the next report will be in Starts in two hundred seconds."< br>
Although I don’t quite understand why the saint of the original body asked them to modify the two unpainted ships taken from the two Mimir treasure houses into the Queen of Glory class, and also named the flagships. Restored the name of the old legion era, and asked Kadan Stunus to come forward to take command, but he said that he would support "that one" in carrying out a special mission, but now this is not what the soldiers of the Iron Council and Iron Ten should consider. of.
Now that Ferrus Manus has returned to them in the form of a saint, and has proved it with his outstanding and overwhelming calculation and fighting power and his powerful control over the Gorgon Fortress and the Hall of Conquest of the clans. If he killed himself, then all the clans of Medusa should put down all resistance and only carry out the orders of the Gene Father - even though they had many doubts and many times Full of worries about a repeat of the Gaudian incident, but now that Cardin has admitted that the Medusaers really need the return of their primarch, everything, everything is starting to get better, and the always discordant voices have disappeared. , the people and soldiers began to work towards new goals and hopes, just like Cardan and his master Markan Feros once worked hard and expected.
Once upon a time, they saw the danger lurking under the Iron Hands' increasingly extreme creed of flesh and blood, and they secretly worked hard to reunite the various subgroups and clans, and to fight against the influence of the Voice of Mars. Hundreds of years have passed, but when the Primarch truly returns, the priests of the Mechanicum alone will not be able to fight against it.
Within one day, multiple Mimir treasure troves were opened, and the Gorgon Furnace and other ancient large-scale facilities began to be refilled with energy, resumed their true peak operation, and began self-inspection and repair at an alarming speed.
Thirty-six hours after the Gorgon Forge confirmed the command authority of Saint Ferrus and the Iron Hands as a whole confirmed the return of the original body, they once fought to gain support after the death of the original body. The Medusa galaxy, which had to be divided with the Adeptus Mechanicus, has completely fallen back into the complete control of the Iron Hands.
Then there was a series of "extremely dramatic" events and run-ins... There were also several twists and misunderstandings that almost caused serious consequences, but at least they finally waited until Steel Calculation and Ferus came to them. At the predicted moment, and arrived here in time, if that's the case, then let the world see the glorious results they have been quietly brewing for a long time in the Medusa galaxy!
That's it... The Iron Hands commander's mechanical eyes unconsciously looked at Honso and "Mercurius" sitting at the conference table through the image focus. Although he had been informed in advance that this was the new battlefield master, he was serving as Kadan Stunus, who has been the war leader of the Iron Council (roughly equal to the Chapter Master) for five hundred years, still found something unusual from the product - what kind of demon body can calculate faster than the calculations that the Iron Hands are proud of? Group of Magi?
He sent the meeting content and other data to the original saint and his companions who were active elsewhere in accordance with the agreed frequency and report. Soon, the reply came, "If it is confirmed that the person present is the pharmacist Hongso in power armor, then we can consider him as an ally and keep in touch."
"A team of Holy Dreadnoughts and Terminators?" Mercurius used his appearance again. The very inconsistent tone raises questions , "Although the tactical Dreadnought Armor and Dreadnought are indeed powerful weapons in cabin channel battles, are their movement speeds unfriendly to evacuation and response? If any of them are lost on the Chaos side, it will be a huge blow to us. "
——You guys are too incompetent. Who can use a whole team of troops to jump into a gang? They are not afraid of being handed over all over or being greedy by the opponent and jumping directly into the subspace zone. Let's go, get fat and have a wave on the other side?
"Don't worry." The war leader's voice was slightly hoarse - he had recently received some limited rehabilitation measures from his trachea to internal organs that had been severely damaged in the battle, "Our Dauntless and Hell Terminator We have absolute experience and advantages in this area." He turned his attention to Owen Gaogang, "We will bring them back well."
Captain Kraher of the Dark Angels let out a cough that everyone could hear, much like someone trying to curse or holding back in laughter, and he had also seen and heard about the Iron Hands rescue more than once in combat. The chances and number of deaths of hostages or rescue targets during the operation are clearly written on the faces of the Space Wolves: "All father's teeth! Steel!" In order to win, the Hands will kill all the living creatures they see! Can you find another group of people to help us?”
Bring them back alive," Cardin promised again, but the effect was counterproductive, and the Highmountain Wolf Lord seemed to be preparing to read Fenris's funeral poem for Sven Bloodhowl.
“Don’t worry.” Mercurius still took the time to do some calculations and comforted Ouwen Gaogang, “The success rate is still very high. Then, let us start making arrangements to leave Clough Fortress and focus our defense. I have completed the first phase of the arrangements for the transfer to Alisian Stonehenge and distributed them to the data pads in your hands. , I suggest starting the execution immediately, because according to my calculations, Abaddon will carry out a key or decapitation strike in this area at any time. I assume that he has a detailed map relying on the intelligence department. Judging from the current situation, The probability is very high."
The expressions of Creed and the other Cadian officers turned gloomy.
“Ah, look, look, the body attached to this inanimate thing is actually the most sensible and calm existence here!” Kaul said appreciatively, “A methodical and decisive way of handling each piece. , Matrix Thinking! We should start now! I will let my Skitarii branch follow!"
"Oh, wait, we still have to leave enough city wall defenders." The Demon Champion frowned in the astonished gazes of everyone, "Clough Fortress has taken in almost all the living refugees around it in the past few weeks. We We can't just abandon the fortress and leave them to the enemy."
"God Emperor!" Sister Sylvania exclaimed. "He is still considering refugees at this time!"
"It's unbelievable!" Baron Levan commented loudly. "Refugees and paupers!"
"Sometimes I do sigh at the whole fact of the universe we live in." Creed said flatly. Sergeant Kyle quietly reminded his commander again. "Why does this feel more and more like a slight sense of déjà vu..." Shanto muttered.
Hongsuo glanced coldly at his colleagues.
"What's wrong?" Robert Mercurius Guilliman raised his eyes in confusion. "As the allies of Cadia, we can't just throw away the enemy, right? At least let them have hope of persisting until the end of the battle. I will integrate all the forces and complete new deployments and new deployments within a minute. Position defense preparation."
"Where did you get the map of the Elisian area?" Creed chewed his cigar and stared at the tall demon champion and his crown.
"When I just passed by the pile of maps, I opened them and took a glance at them and remembered them."
"Oh my god." Creed sighed, "If you can be proven You are reliable. I would trade all my secretaries and staff for you.”
Then he saw the Demonic Champion laugh as if amused, very humanly.
The Supreme Lord's eyes widened again, but he also laughed.
It was the Potion Master who finally ended the buzzing sound at the conference table.
——Because his thirteenth uncle turned his attention to him again at this time, and the master of pharmacy noticed that the red light began to haunt the curved crown again.
Hong Suo, take out the good treasure you used before!
"Of course." He sighed with mental exhaustion, and when the eyes of Belisarius Caul, the Great Sage, and the Crane Sage began to become bright and sharp, he announced that he would provide the army with a "reliable all-round stance generator." "Protection, so they can leave a part of the internal guards to cooperate with the scattered Space Marines to be responsible for the defense of the city wall. The White Shield Legion, composed of Cadian teenagers between the ages of twelve and sixteen, assists in internal security, and the shield of the city fortress The generator will also stay on.
————————————
And when these troops, except for the armored regiments, knights and sister orders, have to stay on the ground for defense and can enter Elisian When the vanguard troops underground at Stonehenge entered the deepest part of Stonehenge and the densest part of the stone towers, they found that there was no problem with Mercury's deduction calculations.
The vanguard encountered a violent fire attack from the elite troops of the Black Legion in the dark and twisting rock tunnel.
The traitors used landing craft and teleportation to arrive here ahead of the Cadian allies, and quickly entered in order to avoid the saturated orbital firepower of the Phalanx, Enterprise and other ships on the ground. Entering the underground cave, we are heading towards the cave part of the core area - the spectacular black stone towers also reveal their ten-story-high bodies in the underground caves. The huge ancient tunnel system connects each one with a height of more than ten meters or even several meters. Thousands of meters of hall-like cave.
When they began to follow the traces of the invaders, they heard the dull and distant bombing sounds that continued to come from the ground. With the movement that lasted for tens of kilometers like a giant dragon rolling past, the rock formations above their heads rustled away. Many small pieces fell.
“Are they using this kind of firepower to demolish this place in advance or something?” Creed complained, “It sounds like there is no need for the Great Predator to take action.”
Moqiu Leith was walking beside him, and they were at the back of the line. At the location, many mechanical devices held up by the anti-gravity sled were still connected to the demon. He blinked when he heard the words. Countless real-time data points were captured from hundreds of different communications, and were discretely aggregated into a curve. Through the ever-changing crown on his head, "United The combined fleet has just requested an expanded orbital strike on the Black Legion's landing area to cut off their reinforcements to keep our back path open."
"I hope Caul. The great sage is really as heavenly as he said Only if you can get rid of these damn antique rocks and let them counteract the Eye of Terror."
"If we can really counteract them, we may not have to fight so many inanimate beings in all the wars we fight here. It will be a lot easier," Kyle said.
"No, Kyle." Creed bit the deflated cigar in his mouth, but it would be unwise to light it in the underground tunnels.
“No matter what war is, it will never be a good thing.”
