Chapter 3098: The Banshee
“Probably Mars would never have imagined that Zhao Akada would ‘spell’ out a Warmaster-class machine by recycling the wreckage during the Great Rebellion.”
< br>Standing behind the hatch of the Storm Eagle gunship suspended in mid-air, Soshyan stared at the dark Titan not far away and couldn't help but praise it.
This Titan can be said to be Zhao Akada's top-secret project, codenamed Banshee.
Its origin can be said to be quite complicated. It is also because Soshiyang needs help and the two parties have already had very in-depth cooperation that Zhao Akada will tell him this key information.
According to the foundry director of Zhao Akada, the dispatched mourning legion once defeated the powerful Death Skull Legion when Prospero fought side by side with the Thousand Sons. Although it was only a part of the Death Skull Legion, it still reflected the The black iron core technology has improved the Titan's combat effectiveness. This is something that Zhao Akada is proud of, because it proves that their Titan technology is likely to reach the true first place.
But the Order of Omen defeated this pride. It took Zhao Akada a thousand years to investigate this organization. What force was responsible for annihilating the Prospero Warning Zone? For Zhao - Akada has always been a mystery. In the process of searching for clues in the battlefield ruins, the recovery team they secretly sent out recovered some battle records from the Titan ruins.
According to records, a group of Warlord-class Titans without any Forge World markings appeared at that time. They had dark purple shells, carried unique lion symbols and lightning patterns, and were surrounded by a strange halo. , the head is also very weird. It does not have the humanized face of a normal Titan, but has an unsettling smooth mirror surface. But the most incredible thing is the weapon on the left arm. The image cannot be captured, only a blurry spot of light.
It was these Titans who defeated the mourning corps in Prospero's Precinct!
In order to investigate the truth of the matter, Zhao Akada secretly dispatched many agents and tried every means to collect intelligence from all parties. It took more than eight hundred years to find any clues.
In the early days of the Great Crusade, the Emperor once mobilized 25 Warlord-class units from Mars at one time, but Mars was unwilling to send all of them, and only 8 units were sent out. The rest were paid by various forge worlds. At that time, Zhao Akada had not returned to the Empire. Instead, they avoided this wave of "Titan Tax", but this provided Zhao Akada's agents with an investigation direction.
It took another two hundred years, and with the unremitting efforts of Zhao Akada, an ancient organization surfaced. Based on the top-secret intelligence collected, the organization was also called the Order of Bad Omens.
“The Order of Bad Omen has no records at all in the history of the empire, and I have never heard of it. Fortunately, Zhao Akada was able to dig it out unremittingly.”
“Old Omen. The Order is actually a special Titan army used to defend the Webway Project. They are all heavily modified psychic Titans."
A dark voice spoke in the Storm Eagle cabin. He sounded like he knew all about it.
If anyone around Soshyan is so familiar with this secret matter, then there are only three people.
After a moment, Amnak stood up from his chair and walked to Soshyan, looking at Looking at the Banshee who was blasting the Tyranids with volcano cannons below, a psychic halo also appeared on the top of the Titan. This came from a mysterious experimental device that allowed the Titan pilot to resist such things as the Hive Mind. Subspace interference.
“After the Webway was blown through by a phone call from Magnus, the Order of Omen immediately threw themselves into the Webway War. I have seen them, and the Lord of Mankind has used them. Many shady technologies are indeed somewhat powerful. However, most of them were destroyed in the subsequent battles between the Webway and Terra. Zhao Akada created a target out of thin air. "
" That's not entirely the case."
Kayon's slow voice came from the corner of the cabin.
"At that time, the Legion of Death was indeed the best Titan I had ever seen. Their flexibility made you feel like a living creature rather than a heavy machine. When defending Prospero, their average number and strength They were all far weaker than the Death Skull Legion. At that time, there were only eighteen Titans, while the opponent had thirty-one. Among them, there were three times as many warrior-level Titans as the Death Skull Legion. Even so, the Death Skull Legion still won the battle, even all of them. After annihilating this detachment, this kind of record is appalling in any era. Zhao Akada's pride is not without reason, but the Order of Omen only dispatched four Titans and completely defeated the remaining ten Titans of the mourning army. Titan, how can they accept this?" Soshyan turned around slightly.
"By the way, Kayon, weren't Thousand Sons involved in Zhao Akada's psychic research at that time?"
He was wiping his helmet with silk cloth. Khayon shrugged.
"I was just an ordinary soldier at the time, not even a non-commissioned officer. How could I know such high-level information? You have to ask Ahriman."
"After the great rebellion, Thousand Sons did not consider contacting Zhao Akada again?"
"Zhao Akada was cut off long ago, and there are still a few living people in the legion after the scarlet letter, and the equipment and other equipment have been It doesn’t make much sense anymore. Robots are not as useful as directly enslaving demons. Magnus wants nothing but to destroy the wolves, and with Ahriman running away, who cares about this?”
Soshi raised his eyebrows and did not express any opinion. He just turned his gaze to the majestic banshee below.
Although Soshyan has basically figured out the inside story now, Zhao Akada received very limited information at the time. He only knew that this was a force that was completely subordinate to the emperor himself and was kept secret. The level is exaggeratedly high, and it seems to have appeared in the defense of Terra. Other than that, Zhao Akada has no more information.
However, the more this happens, the more uneasy the Zhao-Aka people seem to be, as if there is a deadly enemy in a distant place who has been watching them, and Prospero's fiasco also makes Zhao-Aka The sages of Da are unwilling to do so.
They want to prove that their Titan is the best!
No Titan can defeat a Titan equipped with a Dark Iron Core one on one!
This kind of weird obsession and incredible self-esteem that Soshyan believed led to the creation of the Banshee Plan.
After research by many sages from Zhao-Akkada based on the recovered battle images, they inferred that this unique Titan used many non-Mechanicus Adeptus technologies, and based on a series of simulations, they guessed that this The Titans likely made extensive use of psionic devices and were even equipped with psionic weapons.
In this case, if you want to gain an advantage, you have to "fight fire with fire"!
And this involves another secret of Zhao Akada, which is the birth of the black iron core technology. The great sage Tacitus Proctor designed it based on the characteristics of the destroyed Ada Titan spiritual bone core. With the Black Iron Core, this strange device can preserve the psychic imprint of the previous pilot, allowing members to enter the memories and even experiences of their predecessors. In addition, the Black Iron Core is more capable of controlling Titans than the brain pulses Titan has learned to use. units are more efficient.
In other words, the black iron core itself is actually a kind of psychic device. In this case, creating a "psionic Titan" has become the best choice.
