Chapter 2648 The Disturbed Tomb
"We need to increase the number of troops in the Acid Lake Swamp area, which is not friendly to most organisms. Don't you still have a battle robot corps on hand? Deploy them in this direction, To block the possible attack paths of the gene stealers, it is best to establish some firepower bases and block the main entry and exit channels in the swamp areas. Although they are not afraid of corrosion, they are also afraid of being swallowed by the swamp. To march, they must take hard roads, so that they It’s easy to infer the action.”
Soshiyan said it was more of a direct order than a consultation. After a moment of silence, Prezemyslo replied:
“ I have given the order."
"Very good."
At this time, Soshyan's eyes swept across several other figures around the imaging device. They were all company commanders of the White Temple. They had all been silent before. Now he needed to hear their thoughts because he had noticed There was something wrong with this war, or this forging world, and he wanted to see if the company commanders had this insight.
“Everyone, we have a basic understanding of the current situation on the battlefield. Judging from the scale of enemy attacks and subsequent expansion trends, the scale of this group of gene stealers codenamed ‘Black Limb’ is quite large. , there should be millions of people, and they have seized a large amount of mechanical equipment and weapons. They are already a force that cannot be underestimated. If you have any ideas, you can tell me."
Shortly. After silence, the second company commander Wang Rajik took the lead and said:
"The No. 3 Holy Furnace Mining Area and the Slag Mountain Alien both have home field advantages. These bugs must have been breeding underground in the Forge World for hundreds of years or even more. For thousands of years, they are very good at earthworks. I am sure that these places have been dug full of holes for a long time, so they are not suitable for large-scale ground operations. The focus should be on Cui Fanke City. Now the aliens there have been isolated, so they can Concentrate your forces to annihilate them in one go. First weaken the enemy's effective strength, and then turn to attack the Slag Mountains. It is best to use orbital bombing to flatten them or reduce their height. After occupying this place, attack the enemy's Scorch Oven City from the north and east. Launch an attack and turn the enemy into a rat in the bellows, so that they lose the space to move around."
After he finished speaking, the Sixth Company Commander Spabad immediately took over and continued:
"I have a question. Why can't they use the underground passage to support the troops in Cui Fanke? Doesn't the foundry director know the reason? Or is it that the other party has already supported it, but you don't know it yet?"
Face To such an inquiry, Prezemyslo's simulation generator replied in a helpless tone:
"Indeed. We don't know the reason, but the enemies in Trevank City must not have received support, because in After the Jaegers blocked the radiation wasteland, the enemies of Scorch Oven City launched countless ground infiltrations. They tried every means to break through the blockade, but they were all seen through and destroyed by the heroic ruling sage. And Cui Fanke's enemies They did not take the initiative to attack again, but just trapped the area they occupied. Based on accurate calculations based on various intelligence and the intensity of enemy activities, it can be concluded that the enemy did not use the underground passage."
"That is too strange. "
Third company commander Balez gestured with his hand to mark the distance between the two cities.
"The two cities are not too far apart. Even if the original passages cannot be used, they should dig through them even if they dig new ones."
"Not only is this strange, since the aliens are already here This world has been lurking for so long, so they should be very patient, or they should not riot. Once they riot, they should be very deadly, like assassins, they will be bloody and their throats will be sealed. But judging from their offensive and follow-up actions, this fatality is serious Insufficient.”
Fifth company commander Osluka explained his views.
“In other words, their preparations are not sufficient, and their accumulated strength is not enough to overthrow the foundry director, or they are too arrogant.”
“Or they are forced by something. They have to act.”
First company commander Nadir said the most critical words.
Soshyan nodded with satisfaction, looked at the foundry director who was rubbing his robot hands together, and smiled:
"Director Prezemyslow, the soldiers are used to speaking straightforwardly. I'm sorry, please forgive me."
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Director Przemyslow, is there anything else in the Forge World besides the Genestealer Alien?"
"This -"
"The original intention of establishing Ekvolia was some ancient ruins. After so many years, something must have been discovered, right?"
"Uh, yes, there is. Some." "Is it convenient to take a look?"
After hesitating for a moment, the casting director inserted a mechanical tentacle into the display, and then a series of pictures were projected.
Seeing these things, the smile on Soshiyang's face gradually faded, replaced by coldness and hatred.
Somewhat unexpected, but expected
"It is indeed the Necrontyr. Necrons!"
In the screen, you can see that the sages are dealing with Some stone slabs and obelisk remains with mysterious symbols were studied, as well as a few dismembered metal skeletons, small beetles and spider-like machines.
No wonder Ekvolia is covering this matter up so tightly. After all, this belongs to the category of alien research. Although many, many people in the Mechanicus are doing this, they cannot be put on the table. Countertop - that's how things are in the empire. If you don't get on the scale, you won't be able to weigh three ounces. If you get on the scale, you won't be able to weigh a thousand pounds.
"When did you discover the Necron tombs underground?"
"About 112 years ago, standard Terra time."
"So, it was during your reign. Discovered?"
"Yes."
"Have you ever suspected that the Genestealer rebellion is related to the Necrons?"
"We thought this was just a relic."
"You have not come into contact with this kind of alien before?"
"There are only intelligence and data collected from various parties. In the history of Forging World, only one organization has The fleet was explored twice, but nothing much was achieved.”
Then Soshyan pointed at the screen.
“Where is this place now?”
"Just under the Scorch Oven City, contact was completely lost after the alien riot."
"Have any active Necrons been discovered?"
"Not yet."< br>
After listening, Soshiyang held the railing at the edge of the imager with both hands and was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about something. It was not until three minutes later that he nodded slightly, then straightened up and said:
"Everyone, it is already obvious that this is not just an alien riot. The gene stealers are even 'victims' in a sense. On the surface, the mechanical priests should have accidentally awakened the sleeping... Necron tombs underground, and then they drove the gene stealers to the surface. But things are far from that simple. There is no record of any sightings, which means that there is a high probability that they did not come to the surface. This is very abnormal, Necrons. They have an extreme hatred for the living, and every time they wake up it means the beginning of a massacre. They have no reason to only attack gene stealers and not humans.”
