Chapter 849: Iron Cavalry Goes to War
Sir Olga has seen many horrific things in her life, but none can compare with what she sees before her.
On the far horizon, the undead march towards the battlefield with strange and uniform steps, the weapons in their hands glow with a strange green light, and suspended above the ruthless infantry are weaponized pyramids and scorpions. A vehicle that seems capable of vaporizing an entire Knight Titan with every gleaming shot.
Looking back at the transport ship that carried him to the ground, Olga sighed.
Some people say that he is old and no longer suitable to drive the great god's machine, but Olga has always scoffed at this statement.
The God's Machine gave him power beyond mortals, and this power would not diminish as his body aged.
But on the other hand, in the final analysis, there will be a day when he will be completely corrupted. At that time, as the last member of the family, he will no longer be able to shoulder the oath that the family swore to the Golden Throne.
This is the only thing that bothers him.
These matters were finally resolved by the chapter leader of the Astral Knights. Soshyan promised him that he could re-establish a strong family for him, and all the other party needed was friendship and cooperation.
This is a good deal for Sir Olga.
At first he was doubtful about this, because as far as he knew, most of the Astartes Chapters were in a state of being busy with themselves. Where could the power come from to re-establish a knight family?
You must know that a knight family not only needs knights, but also needs a strong castle, a large territory, a large number of retinues, and enough outstanding young people.
But to his surprise, the Soshiyang Chapter Leader seemed to be quite energetic, and was actually able to mobilize several forging worlds.
So, he, who had always been alone, had his own retinue, the so-called "gun array".
The spear formations are composed of attendant mechas that are one level smaller than the knight mechas.
In the 41st Millennium, squire mechas are the smallest knight mechas deployed by the Empire on the battlefield. They are often only half the height of knight mechas.
Despite this, this squire-level knight mecha is still a powerful war machine, powerful enough to single-handedly destroy an entire team of soldiers, or other small vehicles.
In addition, due to its size, the Attendant level was not large enough to accommodate a complete Mechanical Throne system, so the Mechanicus compromised by adopting a relatively simpler system - the Mechanical Crown.
This head-mounted device connects the attendant mecha and the pilot's brain to each other through the pilot's prefrontal lobe interface, but it should be noted that this simple device also makes the use of this When using the Mechanical Crown, a complete set of incarnation rituals is not required for the pilot to successfully establish a neural interface connection.
For this reason, the prestige of the squire pilot is much lower than that of the formal knight pilot who can establish a complete mechanical throne connection, and the consequence of this combination is: when the squire knight acts alone on the battlefield , each family often has a tradition, that is, through the mechanical crown, the attendant driver is neurologically enslaved by the command nerve pulses radiated by the larger knight mecha. This tradition is said to be performed by the knight families in order to express their affiliation. established.
Accepting this kind of neurological slavery often means becoming the guarantor of a higher-level knight. Therefore, although knight squire is not a shameful rank, it is far from an honor.
Generally speaking, the pilots of squire-level mechas are often those with lower social status in knight families. For example, some are divided according to distant blood, and some are small branches of some large families. Family, and some are the last resort choices of surviving family members who were almost destroyed in such difficult times.
There are also families that will select the best people from their family guards or planetary defense forces to drive squire mechas, and also improve their family status, thus turning them from simple civilians to respected ones. Social elite.
Of course, in rare cases, some families will use the attendant mecha as a training basis to select their favorite retainers. For many squire mecha pilots, the process in which formal knight mechas transmit brain information through neural connections is usually unnatural and abrupt, and most novice pilots are unfamiliar with this kind of process that is far from what they previously imagined. There are many complaints and frustrations about the experience and this almost enslaving process. Some people who are not mentally strong enough will gradually lose their self-awareness under the control signals of formal knights and become puppets.
But not all attendant pilots are allowed to be slaughtered. There are many free blades who are born as attendants, and some attendant pilots will escape or even rebel to escape from that terrible mind control.
In order to solve this problem, many families will let the valet driver receive the teachings of the knight mentor before he officially performs the valet mission. Through the loyalty and heroic behavior of the knight mentor, he will establish a good reputation for the valet driver. to inspire them to accept their destiny as the well-deserved elite of the empire, and to plant in their hearts a firm belief that they will dedicate everything to this mission and live for it.
Of course, this is a common practice, but Olga does not do this.
In order to continue the family, he chose a more alternative approach.
Those carefully selected attendants were all adopted by him and inherited the family name and coat of arms.
"Ahem, to everyone."
Olga's voice was transmitted to everyone through the communication channel. After half an hour of landing, all the attendants were in place.
It's time for their show, and the Astral Knights need their support.
“Strict discipline in the use of shields, and keep your eyes open for your auspices! Any active movement in the geological structure must be paid attention to! Remember, enemies can emerge from the ground, or even out of thin air. appear, and their weapons are enough to melt your war horses into a pool of boiling molten iron and flesh."
"Copy that, my father, we will be careful."
The first person to respond was O'Full, a nineteen-year-old young man. His answers were always so straightforward and direct. At the same time, he was at the tip of the left-wing knight's spear array, driving a broad-blade squire mecha.
"We have been sharpening it for a long time, just like a sharp blade just out of its sheath, isn't it? Being careful is a coward's talk."
It was Mathias who opened the provocation. , he is a brave but slightly arrogant warrior and the leader of the right-wing spear formation.
“An arrogant pilot is a crack in his steed’s perfect shield.”
O’Full replied with a sneer, and anyone could hear it in his tone. A very sharp criticism of someone.
"Be vigilant, prepare to fight, and do what you should do."
Olga had to interrupt this quarrel. In a sense, this kind of quarrel was also deliberately created by him.
