Chapter 1102 Mission: Impossible
The intruders approached the communication station. The entire room was hexagonal, thirty meters wide, and the bottom was paved with tiles. A huge open shaft rose upwards, and there were many carved figures in it. Gargoyle pillars and iron relay stations, energy crackling between the pillars.
There is a lone communication column at the bottom of the shaft. This spike made of black metal is inlaid with intricate pipes. All pipes are connected to a bundle of cables with a diameter of one meter. These cables are twisted like snakes. Shaft base.
Creaking cogitator workstations line the perimeter of the room, their vacuum tubes and neural clusters flickering as raw data pours in from the Eternal Loyalty's auspicious arrays. .
His estimate was close to the truth - seven mortals wearing legionary gray uniforms turned around and saw him walking in, immediately lowered their heads and crossed their fists on their chests.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
Two of them were wearing carapace armor and had laser pistols on their belts.
"Of course."
He smiled slightly behind his helmet, raised the leather isolator, and released the switch.
The next moment, a dull growl penetrated the entire room, and the walls of the shaft made a dull echo. The seven guards collapsed to the ground, their eyes dull and their nostrils bleeding.
He closed the door behind him, locked it, and turned toward the nearest cogitator workstation.
Although this battleship has many modifications of unknown origin, in the final analysis it is still an imperial battleship, and its automatic system will record battles like other battleships.
Then he entered more access codes into the receiving keyboard, waited for a correct code to be entered successfully, and then watched the screen in front of him fill up with characters.
He read the parameters about this battleship with great interest.
Built in Zhao-Akada, which world has the ability to build such a huge warship?
Rift cannon, what kind of technology is that?
It seems that it still has an old identification number and does not belong to the number currently used by the Empire. This ship seems to be modified from a ship from the Great Crusade era?
He was curious and had too many questions. Did Soshyan not realize that using deception as a tool of war would cause problems?
The blade cuts on both sides and is equally sharp.
He jumped onto the battleship's voyage record, integrated with the data he had already collected.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps passing by in the corridor outside, so he sped up.
He obtained the battle diagram of the Eternal Loyalty and scanned the battleships in other orbits: the Unbound Soul, the Starfire, and the Soulbringer.
Weighed their strengths and weaknesses, damage reports, and combat readiness.
What he thought did not appear here, so this means that he has obtained the result he needs -
The ship has not been acquired by them yet.
He was filing data and preparing to transmit it when he suddenly heard movement outside.
Then the footsteps stopped again.
He stopped his work, bent over the meditator, remained silent and motionless, and pricked up his ears.
He heard someone trying the combination lock and the door mechanism hitting the lock.
The intruder reached for his bolter and carefully retreated behind the pillar in the center of the room.
Above him, arcs of electricity flashed across the open shaft, as if irritated by his interruption.
The next moment, a dull explosion sounded, followed by impact ripples on the metal grid floor.
The door suddenly opened, and a huge figure came in.
A combat robot.
It seems that he still triggered some kind of hidden alarm, or that this is a combat robot that is far more advanced than he imagined, but no matter what, it only means one thing - being Found it!
The moment the robot broke in, three bombs flew across the gap, one aimed at the head and two aimed at the chest.
However, what is unbelievable is that a shield suddenly extended from the arm of the battle robot, blocking those bombs.
The intruders retreated and opened fire again, using the bulk of the communications tower to cover themselves.
The battle robot approached quickly, with a plasma launcher on one arm and a spinning lightning claw on the other.
Bolts smashed into the surrounding walls, shattering screens, and the vaults echoed with piercing explosions.
This place is narrow and there is nowhere to escape. The battle robot stands between him and the only exit, forcing him to retreat towards the wall opposite the exit.
The intruder drew his sword and activated the energy field when the blade was unsheathed. The battle robot rushed towards him, the blades intertwined, the decomposition force field was mixed together, and the weapon roared.
"Wrong identification code, level 1 intrusion alarm, put down your weapons!"
The intruder pushed the combat robot away, blocked the opponent's claws from its chest, threw it aside, and One hand had already moved, and the muzzle of the bolter was pressed against the robot's waist.
Shooting at zero range, the explosive bomb exploded instantly, blowing the combat robot back.
Seizing the opportunity, he opened fire again, shooting twice at the robot's head, ensuring that the enemy had no chance to breathe.
Then he ran over to the trembling robot and thrust his power sword into the robot's core.
The tip of the sword pierced the ceramic steel and penetrated deep into the metal. He twisted the hilt and put his whole body weight on it.
After the robot trembled for a while, there was no movement.
The intruder gasped for breath, adrenaline burning throughout his body.
This battle robot may have sent out communications before attacking. Others may have heard the battle. Time is against him. He is still a long way from commanding the bridge. The mission is only Half done, fate had already thwarted his plans.
Destiny?
He sneered, mocking himself when did he start to believe in fate?
The intruder broke into a run, leaving the communications station and walking through the corridor outside, caution now giving way to speed.
He ran wildly along the narrow passage, and the servants looked up at him, dumbfounded -
The intruder tried to find hidden passages, such as the branch path between the engine room and the access door, but his route always forced him back Out into the open, back under the lumen, back where his traces would be found.
He knows very well that although most of the warriors of the Astral Knights are on the ground, it does not mean that their flagship is defenseless. Warriors who are equal to or stronger than him may appear here at any time. They Rigorously trained to kill outsiders.
There is not much time left, this mission was difficult enough even before the disguise was torn, but now he has no chance, all he can do is try, and nothing else All the same, trying to make up for the task.
At least the fleet records of the Astral Knights have been transmitted, and the data is enough for his superiors to analyze.
Suddenly, the walls on both sides suddenly disappeared, and he rushed into an open area.
This is an abyss, a chasm between different areas. A metal cliff can be vaguely seen in front of it. The edge is covered with flashing marker lights, as well as stripes caused by friction during the ascent.
The deck broke apart a few meters in front of him, and a lone bridge spanned the abyss, barely wide enough for four mortals or two Space Marines to pass abreast.
This is a defensive barrier, built to deal with the situation when the battleship is jumped by a large number of troops. The other side should be the command level, training cage, navigation room and astropath spire. The far end of the lonely bridge is A pair of heavy blast doors.
The whole place was empty and eerily quiet, with faint roars coming from deep below from time to time.
