Chapter 415 Imperial Knights
He should be humble, strong-armed, brave enough to be the leader of the three armies, loyal to his clan, and follow the great cause.
He should treat others with courtesy, drive away cowardice, not humiliate his clan, serve the Emperor, and defend the Empire.
Knights should be self-disciplined.
——"Knight's Duty"
Mallory Cadmus, M31
…………
There is more than metaphysics at the end of science.
The end of science can still be feudalism.
Ring of Steel, Orestes.
Now, Zofia is deeply aware of this sentence.
Zofia didn't understand the Warhammer 40K universe in the past. All her impressions of this reincarnated world came from that man. His knowledge was rich and all-encompassing, and his weapons were frighteningly powerful. Thinking about it, the Warhammer 40K universe must have It is a science fiction universe with extremely advanced technology that can give birth to such powerful and dangerous biochemical transformation warriors.
Zofia dropped out of school very early, and her grades in middle school history were average. In her understanding, the more technologically advanced a civilization is, the more advanced its corresponding political system should be. Although she lives in a capitalist country, the productivity I have learned more or less theoretical knowledge about production relations, economic base and superstructure.
But what she didn't expect was.
The human empire in the Warhammer 40K universe has such a developed technological level, but at the same time, it can still have such a backward political system as the feudal world.
But she didn't have time to complain at the moment.
On the third hour of her arrival into this universe.
The battle broke out.
"boom--"
A violent explosion came from outside the stone wall, and the reverberating sound made it impossible to tell where in the city the sound came from. Zofia heard the sounds of small-arms fire, the crash of shells, and the screams of soldiers dying.
"Ahhh!"
"What's going on? Why did the fight start?"
The same batch of reincarnated people were all in this dilapidated warehouse. Zofia saw many newcomers, including men and women, old people and children. Faced with the sudden fierce battle, some people held their heads and shouted, while others fled in a hurry.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shelling continued.
Apart from this group of players, there was only a pile of charred and collapsed rubble and bricks left in the warehouse. Vibrations spread along the ground, the building trembled, and dust continued to shake off.
"Ah, shrapnel! I've been shot, help!"
Zofia turned her head and glanced.
Not shrapnel, just a piece of glass.
Inserted into a man's thigh.
The main artery seemed to have ruptured and blood was flowing.
Every one of them will die here.
Zofia frowned and turned back.
"boom!"
The warehouse door opened with a bang.
A middle-aged soldier covered in gunpowder smoke and face covered with dust stood at the door and shouted at the people inside:
"What are you idiots waiting for! We can no longer defend this place, retreat with me quickly!"
Zofia knew the man in front of her.
A veteran of the local planetary defense force, Zofia learned about the feudal world she currently lives in through his dictation two hours ago.
Without saying a word, Zofia picked up his MK2 cavalry assault rifle and followed the veteran out of the warehouse. Since it had been lost, staying here would only lead to death. The veteran glanced at the fierce silver chainsaw gun behind the pink-haired girl that was not commensurate with her figure. His eyes were a little surprised, but he didn't say anything more and turned around to leave.
Outside the warehouse is also an urban ruin.
The two of them just ran around a corner.
"Da da da!"
A string of bullets flew past their scalps.
Zofia heard the sound of "whooshing" through the air.
The two of them quickly lay down, their postures were very standard.
When the dense bullets hitting the surrounding stone walls weakened slightly, Zofia twisted her waist, pulled the bolt of the gun, suddenly stood up and sat up, holding the chain saw gun and shooting.
"Da da da da da!"
Long strings of dense metal spurted out.
The veteran beside him also turned over and sat up, picked up the laser gun in his hand, pulled the trigger and started firing continuously.
Outside the street entrance, a group of enemy soldiers fell.
The two stopped shooting and took a breath.
"Your automatic gun is not bad."
The veteran turned his head and looked at it and said.
"good."
Zofia nodded.
"But not as good as my laser gun."
The veteran continued.
The MK2 Cavalry Assault Rifle from the Gears of War universe, no matter how cool its appearance, is defined as an automatic gun in the Warhammer 40K universe. It is at the bottom of weapons technology, even inferior to the laser guns issued by the Imperial Guard.
Zofia rolled her eyes and said nothing.
After experiencing so many reincarnations, she still only has a MK2 cavalry assault rifle and no other weapons and equipment in her hand. It's not that she doesn't work hard, but that she wants to save money and save a huge sum of money to use to assimilate mechas. hunter.
"Crack, click, click..."
The sound of tracks crushing rocks was heard.
The veteran's face suddenly changed:
"Tank, the tank is coming!"
The two people hurriedly crawled towards the ruins of the building.
A scarlet laser beam shattered the surrounding bunkers.
The veteran looked through the charred black hole and growled:
"Two 'Siren' light tanks, we are finished!"
The words just fell.
"Boom--"
There was a roar in the sky above.
A black shadow passed over the city at low altitude.
The speed was so fast that the two of them didn't have time to see the appearance of the aircraft clearly. They only heard a series of "chunk, chugging" explosions, followed by the shrill scream of the aerial bomb falling through the air, and then two loud explosions and metal shattering. Blocks were flying everywhere.
In the distance, two plumes of black smoke curled up.
The "Siren" light tank turned into two pieces of scrap metal.
"Ha, ha! Fighters, our fighter jets are also here, which means they haven't given up here yet. I didn't see clearly whether it was the Army Aviation's Young Wolf fighter or the Hainan Airlines' Lightning fighter, but I heard the sound was more like the Lightning fighter. "
The veteran stood up and shouted with joy.
He deliberately showed off his rich knowledge.
However, it didn't take long for him to be happy.
The darkness overwhelmed a large group of civilians armed with weapons. They stepped out neatly from the corner of the street and swarmed towards the bunker where the two of them were. Seeing these rebel soldiers and the veterans holding laser guns in their hands, they were suddenly stunned. .
His mouth was half open and his eyes were dull.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!" gunfire sounded.
Zofia knocked the veteran to the ground in one fell swoop.
He narrowly dodged the incoming bullet.
"Hey, hey, what's wrong with you!"
Zofia shouted anxiously.
This veteran has always acted very experienced in combat, but just now he suddenly fell into a sluggish state.
"They, they..."
The veteran lay on his back muttering to himself.
"No!!!"
The veteran roared with grief and anger, suddenly turned over and sat up, picked up the laser gun, tightened the trigger, and kept shooting.
Thin scarlet lasers flashed continuously.
"Ah! Ah! Bastard! Bastard!"
This slovenly veteran with an unshaven beard, a face covered with dust, and chipped teeth, his eyes were red, and he opened his mouth to roar loudly. He ignored the hail of bullets and kept shooting at the enemy. Tears continued to flow from his wrinkled face. The dust and stains were washed away into two ravines, until the muzzle of the gun smoked and could no longer spit out laser light.
Seeing this, Zofia had no choice but to stand up and shoot.
The densely packed rebel soldiers were quickly torn to pieces by laser bullets and fell in large pieces.
Zofia immediately noticed something was wrong.
Although these rebel soldiers hold various weapons in their hands, they are dressed more like civilians. They are men, women, old and young. Their faces are dull and their eyes are dull. The only thing they have in common is that they have metal implants in their foreheads and foreheads. things.
If you look closely, there are still blood stains on the skin around the implant, which is obviously not long after it was inserted.
The most puzzling thing is that behind hundreds of rebel soldiers, three tanks can be vaguely seen. Zofia has heard of the so-called "infantry-tank coordination", but she has never seen it. In this situation, the infantry is in front as a human shield, and the tank hides in the back and slowly advances.
Later, Zofia found out.
Inside this group of "rebel soldiers".
There are family members, neighbors, friends of veterans...
This is the usual practice of the Dark Mechanicus.
They do not cause unnecessary massacres and sacrifices at will like the followers of Khorne, but they will squeeze out the last bit of value in life. The Dark Mechanicus uses unclean and taboo technology to quickly transform civilians in the occupied areas into servitors. , servitors without thoughts and consciousness, and then issued light weapons to let them consume the energy and ammunition of the imperial army.
Zofia shivered and huddled in the bunker.
At this moment, the two of them had run out of ammunition and had no way to hide.
The wave of robot servants is still coming.
Three tanks were also approaching.
"For...for the Emperor."
Zofia heard whispers coming from beside her.
This veteran who had served in the Imperial Guard still looked dazed and pulled out a grenade from his waist.
Zofia's eyes widened instantly, thinking: If you want to die together, don't take me with you! I haven't lived enough yet!
Before he could pull out the latch.
"Boom-boom-boom-boom!"
The crowd disappeared in the deafening storm of explosions. The fire split apart the groups of servitors, and they exploded one after another. The loud noise forced the girl to cover her ears and dodge, feeling the terrifying roar of the large-caliber shells flying past her ears.
A huge creature passed her.
This is a violent adamantium composite armored giant, towering and terrifying. Cannons roared, and the weapons on the left and right were spinning chainswords and roaring battle cannons. It was clad in armor the colors of the winter sky, dark blue and cool gray, with dark black and amber stripes on its shoulders. A bright banner hangs from between his legs. The battle banner is decorated with a majestic horse with a single horn on its forehead and its hind legs standing upright.
The mechanical giant stepped forward with its wide open clawed feet and advanced step by step. Bullets ricocheted off its body, and its engine roared low. At the same time, the coaxial logging gun under the rapid-fire combat cannon was pouring shells mercilessly towards the crowd.
"boom--"
The nearby Leman Russ tank opened fire.
The cannonball was blocked by the suddenly raised ion shield.
The armored mechanical giant let out a piercing horn whistle, and the Reaper's chainsword fired back.
They collided with each other, making a loud bang that shook the entire neighborhood. The giant waved his huge sword, and hot steam and sparks spurted out from the friction of the jagged teeth tearing at the side armor, and the tank was paralyzed.
Killing the Leman Russ tank with one blow, the sweeping battle cannon and logging gun penetrated the armor of the Chimera personnel carrier, the armored mechanical giant, and the final thunderous stamp of its feet crushed the Kraken light The roof of the tank.
The battle is over.
The whole street suddenly became quiet.
"What it is?"
The violent battle so close at hand, the collision between tanks and mechas, the flying shrapnel, explosion impact and hot air seemed to be sticking to her face, leaving Zofia breathless.
"my child……"
The veteran who survived the disaster said slowly:
"That's the Imperial Knight."
…
The knight mecha turned its back to the two of them.
Get ready to move forward.
The one-horned war horse flag was splattered with the traitor's blood.
The whistle of the knight mecha made a shrill and sharp sound, and the veteran recognized it as a retreat order.
The veteran stood at attention and saluted the giant for a moment, then grabbed the girl next to him and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Zofia suddenly caught a glimpse of the light tank that had been crushed by the knight's mecha from the corner of her eye. From the cracked compartment, a slender figure with a high degree of cyber modification struggled to climb out. , a vanguard soldier of the Skitarii, with a bunch of cables trailing from his broken lower body, leaving only half of his body. He held a yellow metal can in his arms. The knight mecha happened to pass by him, and the cyber monster moved towards it with difficulty. Knight mecha.
Zofia didn't recognize any melta bombs.
But she discovered that the knight mecha, which was walking past the wreckage of the tank, was completely unaware of the enemy at its feet.
Zofia didn't know where she got the courage.
With a loud shout, the girl picked up the MK2 cavalry assault rifle that had been drained of bullets, stepped a few steps on the rubble, and then jumped up. The chain saw extending from the lower end of the muzzle to the front of the handle suddenly turned and fired. Cut off.
The vanguard of the Skitarii was brutally killed.
The yellow metal can rolled forward.
Roll all the way along the street slope to the mecha.
The knight mecha looked down.
A can of melta bomb about to explode!
The mechanical giant suddenly turned around, and the stopped Reaper chain sword began to rotate again. The rapid-fire combat cannon and the coaxial logging gun below were aimed at the pink-haired girl behind him.
He was pointed at by a dark cannon that was bigger than his own head.
Zofia swallowed her saliva.
He stood still and didn't dare to make any move.
"No, no, no, she doesn't want to..."
The veteran rushed forward and tried to explain.
"Buzz——"
The chainsword lay in front of him.
The veteran stopped quickly.
The knight mecha lowered its head to look at the girl. The detectors and sensors on the mecha's head kept flashing, and it saw the body of the skitarii vanguard at its feet.
"What's your name, soldier?"
Zofia heard a low and serious middle-aged female voice coming from the side of the knight mecha.
"Ah, you, are you asking me?"
Zofia was dumbfounded and at a loss.
