Chapter 1753: Misfortune Begins with Xiao Qiang
Faced with the worries of the data craftsmen, Ernest responded with a soothing binary voice:
She paused, but the transmission did not close.
There was silence for a while on the data link. The wheels in Ernest's cognitive implant clicked. He looked at the other party, the data craftsman's The face is a red ceramic ellipsoid, with four brown lenses across the upper half of the face, a vertical groove at the mouth, and no other features.
There was another silence, the transport plane continued to fly, gray and black clouds passed by the window, black rain began to splash on the window, needle-shaped rock cliffs rose from the ground, water flowed from them Pours down the sides, bright green or blue minerals oozing out from below.
Suddenly, some sets of symbols rippled in the data spirit ring of the data craftsman.
The transport plane accelerated towards the south of the main continent of Angstrom, shuttling between the storm cloud pillars. Its engine was singing at its optimal output power. Ernest could feel the soul of the machine from its vibrations. of satisfaction.
Through the portholes, one can see the sewage river from the forge, a rainbow of red, blue and orange flowing towards the dark yellow land.
Suddenly, the pilot servitor of the transport plane sent a signal, and a second later, Ernest detected the air pressure I looked out of the porthole, but there was nothing but a mountain range.
But he was already familiar with this mountain range and knew that his destination had been reached.
The light outside the window gradually disappeared, and the transport plane continued to descend. Now the two sides of the mountain were close enough, and a black and gray wall stretched in front of it.
The pilot servitor continues to broadcast.
A few seconds passed, and the plane continued to fly towards the mountainside
The roar of the engine sounded very good. Harsh, they were so close to the mountainside that the lights could be seen bouncing off the wet rocks.
Arriving at the fortress's apron, the transport plane made a circle and fell vertically.
Then the transport suddenly came to a standstill, and Ernest could see the guidance lights flashing in the darkness. The transport swayed in place for a second, soaked in icy air and surrounded by mist from the thruster jets. body.
Then, it finally stabilized on the landing platform.
Only when the rear ramp opened did the plane's engines spin and shut down.
Ernest stood up and walked towards the hatch, and noticed that the data craftsman's data ring began to shrink, turning into a monochromatic sphere that basically recognized the data - it was like a face with rich expressions His face suddenly became still and solemn.
The turret hanging on the wall rotated to greet them, tracking the group of people as they descended to the take-off and landing platform. Then the multi-spectral positioning and scanning system locked the three people and identified their identities, and lifted the It was locked, but the 100-meter gate that was enough for Titan to pass through was still tightly closed.
When Ernest reached the bottom of the ramp, the navigation lights of the entire landing platform were turned off, and a side door opened, and a group of acolytes in reddish-brown robes walked out, their heads floating above their heads. Holding a servo skull holding a brass incense burner. "Sage Ernest, the deputy director of the Eros Foundry arrived ten minutes ago."
"Got it."
Ernest walked into the Death Gaze Legion's fortress. Silence filled the huge space. The servitors they saw moved in the set program. The joints have been blessed with maintenance and oil, so they don't make even a sound.
After passing through the space behind the fortress gate and entering the service area, invisible warning devices are crowded in the shadows. Silent guards and technical priests hurriedly passing by can be seen everywhere along the way. Everyone meets Oune. ster would pause and salute.
Walking through the service area is the comprehensive area of the fortress. It is full of a sense of technology. Lumen balls and lumen bars are engraved on the metal walls and floors. Ernest passed many doors, some of which were wide enough to When the Titans walked through, some doors were so small that only servo skulls or servitors could pass through, and the data craftsman and the captain of the Titan Guards had long been separated from him.
Finally, he and the data craftsman came to an alloy door. When the door slowly opened, he saw everyone he knew inside, including the heads of the four departments of the Titan Legion, the head of the Titan Academy, and There is the deputy foundry supervisor. He looks like a giant lizard standing up. The huge robe can't even completely cover his anti-jointed metal lower limbs. Two sensor matrices fan out slightly behind his head, and are gold-plated. The two eye sockets on the mask are like two empty gems.
“Oh, look at the sage Ernest who we have been waiting for so long, he has finally arrived.”
The onomatopoeic machine of the Assistant Superintendent of Eros Foundry came out With undisguised mockery, Ernest approached the bright hall and bowed slightly calmly.
"Sorry, I didn't expect you to come early. I was ten minutes early."
"My bad."
Eros Foundry Assistant Superintendent raised his hand slightly.
"After all, I am the one who called everyone together to discuss the possibility of the Legion responding to war in the future."
"War? With the Red Pirates?"
"Of course. Including Inside."
Ernest raised his head slightly. The walls of the huge rotunda were covered with the flags of the Titan Legion. In the middle was the broken head of a warrior-level Titan. It was Angus. The first general of Thom died while defending the planet from the invasion of heretics, and was later placed in this meeting hall as the spiritual symbol of the Legion.
It represents Death Gaze's undying loyalty to the Machine Gods and the Imperium.
“But before that.”
Following the words of the deputy supervisor of Eros Foundry, several side doors of the hall suddenly opened, and a large group of Titan Guards with live ammunition rushed in. Surround the hall.
“We need to judge a scourge first.”
