Chapter 702 The peach pickers are here

"Let's not deploy the Sisters of Silence yet."

Fu Qinghai walked quickly while giving instructions:

"Unless the beast shows up."

"Okay, Khan."

The attendants, covered in gunpowder smoke and blood, followed.

In the original novel of "Beast Wars", it was not until the last expedition to Ullanor that the Human Empire discovered that the Sisters of Silence could influence the Psycho Boy to eliminate orcs in batches. All the previous battles were almost a war of attrition against the orcs. It was not until the last battle, the decisive battle within the decisive battle, that all the orcs were wiped out in one fell swoop.

Now that he has mastered this method in advance and summoned the exiled Sisters of Silence scattered in the galaxy in advance, Fu Qinghai has no intention of sending them to the battlefield immediately.

Although in terms of setting, this is a loophole engraved in the genes of the orcs, which cannot be avoided no matter what means the orcs take. It is not because of the existence of Sister Silence that the nervous boy loses control of his spiritual energy, but because it is easy for the nervous boy to lose control of his spiritual energy. Sister Silent just takes advantage of this and uses the soulless force field to accelerate the process.

However, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

If the Human Empire uses this method now, it can certainly eliminate the orcs on the Battle Moon efficiently in batches, but if the Sisters of Silence are deployed in advance, the beasts as far away as the Ullanor Base Camp will be on guard - no matter how they plan to guard against it, let them get there in advance. The enemy knows his trump card, which is always not a good thing for a war.

For the battle moon above Terra, fourteen Astartes Chapters, ten regiments of Skitarii, and five knight families are more than enough. As long as the gravity storm of the battle moon is broken through, even without the Sisters of Silence It should be possible to win it safely. Fu Qinghai planned to keep Sister Silence, a powerful weapon, in Ullano for use in the decisive battle.

"Khan, the Imperial Fists have found the gate."

The voice of Hermit Master Tristan sounded on the channel:

"Currently fighting the orcs guarding the gate."

"Did the beast show up?"

Fu Qinghai asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Nothing has been found yet."

Tristan replied.

Why didn't the beast show up this time?

Fu Qinghai raised his right arm and looked at the holographic projection projected by the auspicious device integrated on the arm armor. Most of the internal structure of the Battle Moon has been outlined, and there are not many unexplored blank areas. The cave in the middle has the largest space.

"The battle will be over within an hour."

Fu Qinghai put down his arm and ordered.

"Copy that, Khan."

All the company commanders in the channel answered in unison.

Heavy footsteps accompanied by the tremor of the passage rang in his ears. At the top of the passage dug out by the orcs at will, natural stones, simple ceilings and ventilation ducts were breaking and falling, and several three- to four-meter-tall robots squeezed in.

Fu Qinghai looked back.

Huge figures crowding one another obscured the passage.

"I obey your orders, Qingshan Khan."

A message pops up in the eyepiece retina interface.

The Intelligent Control Corps sent by the Foundry Commander is here!

The Intelligent Control Legion is also called the Cybertronica Battle Robot Legion. As the first forging world, Mars has the most complete models in the Intelligent Control Corps. In the passage, in addition to the approximately human-shaped fortress-type intelligent control robots, the fortress-type intelligent control robots, and the domita-type intelligent control robots, there are also strangely shaped vulture-type intelligent control robots and greedy-type intelligent control robots. Mechas, as for the death-class intelligent control mechas, large siege intelligent control mechas that are the same size as knight mechas may not be able to squeeze into this passage.

"Hello, Archibald, Archbishop of the battlefield."

Fu Qinghai responded on the communication channel.

He recognized the source of the message. It was a specially modified domita-type intelligent control robot. The intelligent control core was removed and replaced with a certain technical priest's own biological brain and intelligent core, allowing him to temporarily become An intelligent robot can be mixed into the team and go to the battlefield to command other intelligent robots.

This special position is called "Battlefield Commander".

Kubik said that he would hand over an intelligent control legion to Fu Qinghai's command, but in fact, each mechanized brigade that makes up the intelligent control legion has a military priest in charge of command, as well as supporting dedicated maintenance personnel. Servitors and intelligent digital craftsmen. At most, Fu Qinghai could issue orders to the technical priests who accompanied the army. The specific actions of the soldiers were not actually under his control.

"Seven mechanized groups have been deployed."

The technical priest's tone seemed to be urging.

"Immediately launch an attack on the alien subspace portal we marked on the map and paralyze it."

Fu Qinghai immediately issued the order.

"We will launch an attack on that subspace portal, but I don't agree with your battle plan."

But the answer I heard was inconsistent with what I expected.

"……What's the meaning?"

Fu Qinghai turned back to look at the large group of intelligent control robots behind him, his eyes locked on one of the dome-type intelligent control robots, and the Terminator guards around him also turned around.

"Your plan pursues efficiency and strives to destroy this battle moon in the shortest possible time, which is commendable. However, according to the agreement reached between the Foundry Commander and you, we need to recover the alien technology on the battle moon. Your combat plan should Ensure that these technological creations are not so damaged that they completely lose their recovery and recovery value.”

The intelligent control robot looked down at him.

He said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.

The Imperial Fists didn't question my battle plan.

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Between the pillar-like steel giant legs of the intelligent control robot, some busy figures in red robes could be vaguely seen. The technical priests were directing the robot servants to dismantle and pack the surrounding machines and cables - the battle was not over yet, and the Mechanicus had already begun to recycle the Orcs' technological creations.

Afraid that others would take away a piece of junk?

This look of greed was a bit too ugly.

"Of course, this is part of the agreement."

Fu Qinghai nodded slowly, then leaned his head closer to the neck armor and ordered the full channel of the two legions:

"All Space Marines, give up the front line and leave the cave deep in the battle moon to the Martian army."

"What? Repeat it?"

"Qingshan, what does this mean?"

"We need more explanation, Qingshan."

"We wiped out three companies there!"

The communication channel was suddenly filled with stunned inquiries, dissatisfied doubts and angry curses. The commanders of the two different legions were extremely puzzled by this order.

"I'll repeat it again."

Fu Qinghai stared at the intelligent robot, tilted his head slightly and continued to give orders to the communication channel:

"I am Qingshan Khan. All Space Marines will immediately withdraw from the front line after hearing the order, and rest and wait until the new order is issued. The Crusaders, the Intelligent Control Corps and the Knights have landed, and the remaining battles are left to them."

After that, he ignored the noisy voices in the communication channel and looked up at the special robot in the robot group:

"As you wish, sage."

"The God of All Machines bless you, Qingshan Khan."

Archibald, the Archbishop of the battlefield, said:

"You are worthy of the skull and gears on your shoulders."

After that, the Intelligent Control Corps stepped forward again.

The rumble and tremor sounded in the passage again.

The two Space Marine Legion fleets withstood the most powerful gravity storm weapon of the Battle Moon, suffered the largest wave of casualties, successfully landed on the surface and paralyzed the gravity weapon, but they had to hand over the honor and harvest of conquering the Battle Moon to others, to the Mechanicus who came to pick peaches?

This kind of thing is unacceptable to any Chapter Master. However, the White Scars' sub-corps withdrew from the front line as soon as they received the order, and handed over the deepest cave to the Mechanicus troops who came. In the end, the Space Marines of the High Wall were somewhat hesitant and were waiting for the direct order from the Legion Commander Kurland. Fight or retreat? The Space Marines of the Black Templars complained the most, but after careful consideration, Bosimonde also chose to execute this order.

Fu Qinghai looked at the intelligent control army that passed him and advanced towards the depths of the battle moon, and pondered silently in his heart:

There are currently only two types of intelligent control mechas in the Phaeton Foundry World: the Vulture-type intelligent control mecha, also known as the Voltarax intelligent control mecha, which is the predecessor of the Plague Drone, and the STC comes from the seizure of the Zhelas Space Station; the Fortress-type intelligent control mecha, also known as the Castellan intelligent control mecha, commonly known as "Dabai", the technology comes from Master Quinto, this is the most widely used intelligent control mecha in the Mechanicus, many sages choose the Castellan intelligent control mecha as a personal bodyguard, which is stronger and more reliable than the armed servitor.

Mars has almost all the models of intelligent control mechas.

And this may be the last time to see these models.

If you miss this village, you will miss this store.

Because during the Horus Heresy, the major Forge Worlds were also in civil war, and the warring parties made unscrupulous modifications and breakthroughs to the control programs of the intelligent robot soldiers. As a result, many loyal Forge Worlds generally believed that the intelligent robot soldiers were "technological heresy" after the war, and destroyed a large number of design blueprints of many intelligent robot soldiers, leaving only the oldest and most stable Castellan intelligent robot soldiers. In other words, in the intelligent robot army of the Mechanicus in the 40K period, there may only be one type of Castellan.

"I want to get this intelligent control army."

Fu Qinghai seemed to be whispering to himself:

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Give me some time, master."

Qingming's voice sounded first:

"The intelligent control cortex control code of each intelligent control robot under the command of the military priest is different, and there is a killing code similar to a firewall. I need some time to break through."

"I don't need time, master."

Another voice sounded in the heart:

"I can immediately possess and control these half-mechanical and half-biological things, and it is silent and completely unnoticeable. This is my strength and my talent. Qingming has never seen such a thing. She is a silicon-based life. Does she understand what an intelligent control cortex is? Even if she Now that she understands, how can she ensure that the intelligent control machinist and technical priest will not be alerted during the breakthrough process? "

"I guess someone is saying bad things about me now."

Qing Ming said indifferently in the private channel:

"A disgusting piece of purple plasticine."

"You are the plasticine."

A dark purple twisted face bulged on the side of Fu Qinghai's cheek, and he retorted to the neck armor communication channel:

"You are worse than plasticine. You didn't even have a body. You were just a bunch of data codes. You built a body for yourself by playing tricks and hiding it from your master. Now you are suddenly crazy? What qualifications do you have to laugh at me?"

In Fu Qinghai's retina screen, a mocking expression composed of small pixels immediately popped up:

"Haha, the master has forgiven me. What are you blaming here? Nosy Sanba. You always claim to be a high-dimensional creature. You are a piece of garbage that can't survive without parasitizing others. I'm much more advanced than you. , and more useful than you!”

"Okay, okay, be quiet."

Fu Qinghai had no choice but to stop him.

Although Qingming Qinghun bickers every day, they do come up with some key information points worth noting:

In the previous civil wars of the Mechanicum, there were cases where killing codes were used to seize control of the opponent's intelligent robots, or to disrupt the control program of the opponent's intelligent robots, causing the robots to kill indiscriminately without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy. Therefore, Qing Ming's use of electromagnetic signals to break through the firewall and seize the intelligent cortex controller is a traditional route. The Mechanicum is on guard against this route. Even if Qing Ming, as a super artificial intelligence, has a superior technical level, it is difficult to ensure that this process is "quiet" enough. , will not arouse the vigilance of technical priests and intelligent digital craftsmen.

After all, I haven't completely broken up with Mars yet.

Both sides are still nominally friendly units.

But Qinghun is different. Qinghun is a symbiosis, and it is an extremely rare symbiosis that can parasitize electronic machinery. It does not hack through electromagnetic signals, but directly absorbs and integrates into it, and then according to the strength of the host's mental will. To determine who has the dominant body control position.

Qinghun does not necessarily control the body of a technical priest, because it is not certain whether the technical priest's mental will is strong or not. But there is no suspense in controlling an intelligent robot. Because of the Crimson Protocol's restrictions on silicon-based artificial intelligence, the intelligent cortex of the intelligent robot is actually bio-organic plastic as a "brain-like", and bionic gray matter tendrils as "brain-like" "Neural" control structure, the level of intelligence that this intelligent control cortex can provide can be approximated by a beast AI that is good at hunting and fighting - controlling a beast puts no pressure on Qinghun.

"What about controlling an intelligent robot?"

Qing Ming poured cold water on Qing Hun's method:

"Controlling it to break away from the Intelligent Control Corps, and then swaggering into our team? Can the oil guys agree? Isn't this an obvious break with Mars?"

"Indeed, an opportunity may be needed."

Fu Qinghai lifted his chin and pondered to himself.

…

At this time, the battle moon is deep.

The orcs dug and built three wide spiral tunnels with a diameter of hundreds of meters, leading to the subspace portal deep in the battle moon, which were used to transport large equipment and materials.

Only these three wide passages can allow the Knight mecha to pass through. The Space Marines originally sent out a few armored vehicles from each battle group to confront the Ork armor forces in the passages. Now they gradually withdrew from the forward positions and handed over the battlefield. It was given to the knight mecha and the intelligent control mecha that were walking towards me.

"The Taranis family, the first spearhead, is already in place."

The knight pilot in the mecha said.

He sat in the mechanical throne, surrounded by complex machine components and fluorescent screens. He lowered his head and looked down, and the detectors and sensors on the mecha's mechanical skull moved downward simultaneously. He saw the Space Marine standing on the roof of the tank. The expression on his face did not seem very friendly.

The knight pilot ignored it, raised his head and continued to control the Furious River Knight to move forward. In one step, he crossed the temporary bunkers and the trenches dug by the orcs. These obstacles could not stop the knight from moving forward at all. Lan beside him German Raider and Predator tanks look so small.

"The second spear point is already in place."

The voices of other pilots sounded on the communication channel one after another.

"The third spearhead is already in place."

The tall and broad knight mechas led their thin and agile squire knights, passed through the temporary defensive positions constructed by the Space Marines, continued walking towards the depths of the battle moon, and successively arrived at the planned attack site. In other smaller passages, skitarii and intelligent robots were also in place.

"Attack."

The ruling sage conveyed his orders directly to all the chief knights, intelligent digital craftsmen and Skitarii Alpha on the front line through thought messages, and the army of the God of All Machines began to speed up the attack deep into these passages.

"Waaaaagh——"

At the same time, the Orks almost physically cleared away the cluster mines placed in the passage by the Space Marines when they retreated. The limping green boys holding big guns and the war wagons with crooked tracks and broken tracks swarmed out in a loud noise.

"First spear point, follow me to attack."

The chief knight skillfully gave the order to attack. The Nu River Knight's body stumbled heavily, and a large amount of waste heat was sprayed out from the exhaust pipe. The mechanical legs strode forward at a faster speed, and his left arm exploded with evil light and shot out many ring red light A red beam of light wrapped in a circle swept across and instantly ignited the rows of orcs, turning into running human-shaped torches. Then he raised the hundred-arm siege claw on his right arm and easily clamped down on a combat truck. Get up and overturn it violently.

"Too weak, these greenskins."

The Furious River Knights were followed by four Ranger Knights. They overtook the Furious River Knights from both sides with fast steps, wielding the Reaper Chain Sword and Thunder Fist Gloves, cutting or smashing the bouncing murder cans, and then racked them. Use heavy logging guns and melta cannons to mow down or melt hordes of orcs.

"I really don't know why they took so long."

The knight pilot could still find time to say while operating.

"They" obviously refers to the Space Marines.

With the Knight Mechs and Intelligent Control Robots as the main force and ten regiments of the Skitarii as the auxiliary, the Mechanicus quickly pushed the front line inwards to the deepest cave of the Battle Moon. The Space Marines also fought here for a time, but retreated back under the order of Qingshan Khan.

After the fastest advancing Knight Mechs entered the cave, they immediately saw the green fire gate in the center of the cave. The four or five hundred meter tall alien creation was shaking unsteadily in the violent energy fluctuations, white light kept flashing, and batches of orc boys appeared on the platform with howling.

"Found the target, confirmed the target."

A broadsword attendant walking in the front said, and all sensors and detectors were scanning the green fire gate at the same time, and the information obtained from the scan was transmitted back to the mechanical ark.

"All units are not allowed to attack the target until the technical priests have collected relevant sample information of the target."

Soon an order was transmitted back from the mechanical ark, requiring the army of the Mechanicus to protect the green fire gate.

The knight mechas and the intelligent robot soldiers used their fierce firepower and solid steel bodies to wipe out the orcs in the cave, but did not destroy any auxiliary facilities around the gate. The center of the blazing green fire gate lit up white light again, and a giant figure emerged in the white light.

"Be careful, the orcs' Titan units are coming."

The chief knight reminded calmly:

"Second spearhead, third spearhead, line up."

Several knight mechas stepped forward to form a formation.

Just as they were ready, the white light in the gate dissipated, and then a giant battle axe as big as an excavator bucket flew out of the dissipated white light and hit the front row of ranger knights in the face. In the huge explosion that stung the eardrums, the battle axe instantly split the top hatch of the knight and embedded in the cabin.

"What is this!?"

The chief knight's eyes widened.

The Ranger Knight had already stood still, and no matter how his companions called on the communication channel, black oil and red blood plasma slowly flowed out from the cracks.

"Roar——"

The "Orc Titan Unit" roared to the sky, then lowered its body and swung its arms to rush towards the Knight Mech. Its full appearance appeared in the sight of all the Knight pilots present:

More than ten meters tall and wide like a city wall, covered with layers of steel plates, the collision of armor plates made a harsh noise, and it rushed like a train roaring and crashing.

"Bang!"

A Jealous Knight was knocked over in an instant.

The "Orc Titan Unit" waved the huge claws on its arms, cutting off a slender handle ring attendant in half, and then rolled over with incredible agility and flexibility to avoid the two reaper chainsaw swords that were slashed from the side, stood up and grabbed the top impact spear of a lance knight next to it, and stabbed the spear into the chest of another Styx Knight with a backhand.

Only then did everyone see the details clearly.

It was not an Orc Titan unit at all.

It was a super giant Orc!

"Waaaaaagh——"

More Orcs rushed out of the green fire gate.

Staring with scarlet bloodthirsty eyes, bulging green muscles, they rushed into the red-robed soldiers at the feet of the Knight Mech, and collided face to face with the Skitarii.

The Mechanicus army fell into chaos in the blink of an eye. The formation formed by the Knight Mech was hit to pieces, and even the tall intelligent robot soldiers were submerged by the green tide.

Outside the cave, a servo skull floated in the air, and the red electronic eyes calmly scanned everything below, and transmitted all these images back to the battlefield command center.

"Isn't the opportunity here?"

Fu Qinghai stared at the picture on the screen and whispered.
