Chapter 167 People Who Can’t Fight
Two cruisers are being surrounded and shot by Eldar warships.
After the battleship's void shield was overloaded, the Resolute Resolve, which arrived from unknown time, suddenly surfaced.
The two cruisers sank at the same moment, exposing the Eldar enemy ships besieging them to the starboard and starboard sides of the Resolute Resolve.
The Fortitude Resolve fired simultaneously on the left and right sides, blasting the two enemy ships on the left and right into space debris.
After the firing ended, the sailors on the flagship's artillery deck were expressionless and stood neatly next to the running position, waiting for the loader to load the shells.
Then they stood uniformly in front of the running position, all the artillery was calibrated in one direction at the same time, and fired again.
The macrocannon shell accurately hit another enemy ship.
The Eldar fleet began to adjust its strategy because they found that the enemy suddenly seemed to have used some special command method, and the entire fleet became extremely coordinated.
As the Eldar changed their strategy, another ship was killed by concentrated fire.
The Resolute Resolve inevitably became the target of public criticism. A large number of torpedoes and fighter planes rushed towards it, but then the interception AI in the ship changed its course in an instant or detonated directly.
This is a rare warship called the Ghost Ship. It is extremely valuable and the fire when it explodes is extremely dazzling.
"What happened to the fleet?"
"Who knows."
Somewhere on the battleship of the Eldar fleet, the World Eaters jumped out of the gang. .
Fearless, where former legion commander Lorke was, immediately alerted the front.
The Tethys Think Tank looked at the outside world with psychic vision and found that the situation in this void battle was a bit unexpected.
Qin Xia walked to the front of the team and looked back at everyone.
Present was Lorke, the Contemptor Dreadnought.
Tethys and Kamaz think tanks.
and a Mechanicum monk named Quadrant.
Most of the think tanks were sent by Qin Xia to various companies to assist the gangs in fighting before the teleportation. Lorke was the one Qin Xia asked for help.
As for Quadrant... Qin Xia thought that this monk might be useful, so he brought him over.
“It’s like a maze here.” Lorke said in an angry voice.
This is the interior of the battleship. The decorations of the Eldar are definitely different from humans, and their senses are far stronger than humans, so they will design some structures that suit their senses.
Everyone is the same as Lorke. Although the corridor in front of them is quite straight, they feel that the environment is very complicated and will give people a slight feeling of dizziness.
“Try not to get too carried away visually and follow this path.” Qin Xia motioned to Lorke to walk ahead.
Without Qin Xia's signal, Lorke knew that as a heavy combat unit, he should walk in front, so he took steps and advanced slowly with a heavy sound.
“I can’t fight.” Quadrant walked at the back, “I don’t understand why you have to bring me here.”
“Bring you here to open your eyes.” Qin Xia nodded. Said without replying.
"What's there to see here? Some alien creation that blasphemies the Messiah of Ohm?" Quadrant's face shimmers as he speaks.
“Do you really think I’m bringing you to open your eyes?” Qin Xia pointed to the ground, “I need you to record everything we see as a learning sample for the legion’s teaching after the war.”< br>
Hearing this, Quadrant silently took out the recorder.
After everyone advanced for a certain distance, there were light footsteps in front of them. A group of Eldar warriors rushed to the end of the road and immediately raised their guns to shoot.
The plasma weapon integrated in Lorke's right hand quickly charged up and fired. The flying plasma swallowed all enemies in front of the road.
"I can't fight," Quadrant said.
"I know." Qin Xia nodded, "But don't worry, unless I die too, you are absolutely safe."
Quadrant was silent again.
In order to reassure Quadrant, Qin Xia created a psychic barrier to cover the entire team.
The monk felt a little more at ease now.
The group of people continued to move forward and came to a crossroads.
More footsteps came from all directions. Lorke took a step across the road, charging his plasma weapon, and the power claw on his other hand quickly turned.
The two think tanks each guarded an intersection, with Qin Xia standing in the center, ready to support at any time.
The enemy is the first to rush out from the front.
Two teams of Eldar warriors rushed out guarding a bipedal war machine about the same size as the Dreadnought.
It was a combat unit called the Nether Guard.
Lorke opened fire while taking steps to meet the Nether Guard. The two sides quickly engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Lorke resisted the flying beam, and the power claw was deeply embedded in the Nether Guard's head, shattering it. He hit something inside, and then the Nether Guard fell to the ground.
Qin Xia could tell that Lorke had experience fighting against the Spirit Tribe.
There are no living occupants in the Nether Guard. There is only a soul stone inside. After being destroyed, the Nether Guard will turn into a dead object. Lorke destroyed the soul stone.
More enemies rushed out from both sides of the intersection as the power claws were pulled from the Nether Guard's head.
Tethys and Kamath raised their bolters and fired while releasing psychic lightning, instantly turning the oncoming enemies into snowflakes.
“The enemy.”
The quadrant behind Qin Xia stretched out its hand to push Qin Xia’s shoulder. It looked anxious, but its voice was as smooth and unhurried as an electronic customer service: “The enemy . The enemy is coming. Behind me."
Qin Xia didn't even look at the quadrant.
Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, Quadrant took two steps back. When he was unable to retreat, more than a dozen appendages suddenly protruded from the red robe, each appendage connected to a weapon. .
Explosive bombs, melta, plasma, grenades, flamethrowers... greet the comers in turn.
Quadrant One man dealt the firepower of a Space Marine battle squad.
It wasn't until all the enemies were dead and the tactical device integrated in the quadrant's left eye could not scan any living creatures that his weapon-holding appendages were retracted under the red robe.
“Will your Mechanicus monks be unarmed or incapable of fighting?” Qin Xia glanced back at Quadrant, “I knew it.” “I can’t fight.” Quadrant said, “I can only defend myself. Implants and a small number of self-defense weapons. If the enemy's number or firepower density exceeds the performance limit of my self-defense implants, I can't even target them."
"It's okay, you can learn to fight." Qin Xia walked in front.
Quadrant followed.
The mechanical monk's body shrank, as if he was scared, but his voice was still calm: "Re-state. I am not a combatant. I am just following my mentor's orders to serve as a narrator. I Not a combatant."
"If you force me to fight, I will appeal for what you have done through established procedures."
"As a member of the Mechanicus, I have the right to appeal to Imperial personnel. Refusal to respond to unreasonable demands.”
"..."
Qin Xia looked back with a smile: "Your voice doesn't sound like you are afraid of fighting at all, and your tone is more calm than old soldiers like us."
"I'm talking. Can it be unstable?" An appendage from Quadrant stretched out from under the red robe and pointed at his mouth.
What should have been his mouth is now an artificial device that shimmers when he speaks.
Another burst of footsteps suddenly sounded.
Qin Xia's expression was serious: "If you dare to complain, I will leave you here and complain to the Eldar aliens."
"Initiate the banning process." Quadrant did not dare to say more.
"I'm just scaring you. Don't worry, I will never abandon anyone." Qin Xia glanced at the quadrant with a smile, then turned his head and raised his hands.
Two groups of Eldar warriors rushed out from the road ahead.
Lorke quickly killed them, then turned his body and head together, looking down at the quadrant.
"You are a Mechanicus logistics service worker, or not, just a damn chronicler." Lorke said, "But it doesn't matter, no matter who comes to the Twelve Legions, they must learn to fight. If not, then go back. . ”
Quadrant was frightened back by the oppressive scorner in front of him, and then his head shook up and down.
Lorke turned around and continued to clear the way ahead.
Two Nether Guards passed across the fork in the road ahead. They seemed to be rushing to support something, but they immediately raised their guns after discovering the enemies here.
Qin Xia waved his hand, and one Nether Guard was pushed against the wall by the force coming from the side, while the other one was killed by Lorke.
After defeating a Nether Guard, Lorke turned his upper body 180 degrees and inserted his power claw into the head of the Eldar war machine that was pressed against the wall.
"What a weird enemy." Quadrant photographed the Nether Guard, then approached, picked up a fragment and put it in his bag, "Their materials science is different from ours, they seem to use the same material for everything. Yes, and for us, there are several types of fine gold."
"They use a material called spiritual bone." Qin Xia said what he knew, "You can think of it as a kind of material. The solidified psychic energy and spiritual bone material are very versatile, but it’s a pity that we can’t use them.”
Quangrant took out the collected spiritual grain fragment and threw it on the ground: “Then it’s useless.”< br>
“But we can find a more effective way to destroy this material by analyzing the spiritual bone material.” Qin Xia added.
Quadrant reached out and picked up the pieces again and stored them.
Obviously, except for Qin Xia and Xiangrant, no one else was interested in spiritual bone materials, so everyone continued to move forward.
The sound of crossfire came along the corridor, and everyone was getting closer and closer to the sound of crossfire.
No one spoke, but everyone knew that it must be other gang members fighting with the Eldar.
Qin Xia was walking and suddenly asked: "Quadrant monk, I found that you are different from other Mechanicus people."
"Individual units are abnormal." Quadrant said, "That's why I was sent to be the narrator. I was exiled."
"Come to the Twelve Legions to call for exile?" Lorquet walked in front. roared.
"No offense." Quadrant said, "I mean that I myself was exiled."
Qin Xia nodded and continued to listen.
“I once aspired to be a biological sage. In your words, a biologist.”
"I think the true meaning of belief in Ohm Messiah is to maintain humanity and biology, because it is the mechanical prophet of mankind, the God of all machines is also the mechanical god of the human race."
"I have a being who is the same My dearest friend, it's just that he seems to be able to become a biological sage, but I am not so lucky and smart. I was forcibly transformed by my mentor, and the transformation was 99%."
"My mentor is not. Knowing my gifts in the field of implants and neurology, not knowing that I somehow retained my consciousness and humanity."
"Praise be to Ohm Messiah, praise the God of All, praise. Original motivation. I can continue to stick to the path I agree with."
After that, Quadrant chanted the binary hymn.
"001100101001..."
Qin Xia savored what Quadrant said, and then asked: "You said you have a close friend who has the same idea... What is his name? Belisarius Caul?"
"001...how do you know." Quadrant asked.
“Just think about it.” Qin Xia shrugged, “I will also tell you that your best friend will slowly embark on the right path considered by the Mechanicus people, and eventually he will become a mechanical giant. , There is no flesh left on the body.”
“Impossible,” Quanrant said firmly.
Qin Xia smiled. He knew that Quadrant would not believe what he said, and Quadrant could not certify it, because it was still unknown whether the monk would survive ten thousand years.
"You won't let me die here, right." Quadrant asked suddenly.
“What?” Qin Xia turned around.
"I satisfy your thirst for knowledge, and in exchange, you won't let me die here, right." Quadrant repeated.
Qin Xia nodded: "Put your mechanical heart in its original position."
At this time, another spirit warrior came out from behind the road.
The appendages in Quadrant instantly drew their guns and aimed them behind their backs, shooting them dead.
"But you have to learn to fight." Qin Xia said, "I invited you to join my special team before and you agreed. Team members need to wear multiple hats. Even monks have to learn to fight."
