Chapter 318 05.0317: "Guess who I am? Imperial Navy!"

The maid robot attached itself to the wall like a spider, and like a spider, it stretched out its transformed slender limbs and crawled towards the target point in an inhuman posture.

The girl's face, the mechanical body, and the spider's behavior, these three combined together give people a weird and terrifying feeling.

[Letty, you really have a strong taste.] Horatio complained in his heart with disgust.

But as long as the mission is accomplished, Horatio doesn't care whether the method used is beautiful or not. Practicality comes first on the battlefield.

No longer bothered by the details, he ordered his scouts to spread out and stand guard, and ordered the pilot to use a drone to conduct reconnaissance in the vicinity.

Click.

Regular footsteps were heard on the steel walkway of another nearby maintenance station.

"In the name of the True Ohm Messiah, begin the defrost maintenance ritual immediately."

In the images sent back by the drone, several mechanical heretics with tattered holy robes walked in from the other side, and brought their mechanical servants that were transformed into something less than human-like to perform defrosting and maintenance on the turret seat ring one by one.

The Hell Soldier immediately found cover and hid.

"Detect unknown electrical signal."

However, even though the environment now looked no different from the past, the mechanical heretic still became alert and stopped the routine work at hand.

Because the source power circuits in their bodies sense the presence of unknown electronic signals in the surrounding environment.

It is the most basic and important step in officially embarking on the path of becoming a mechanical priest.

They would house a layer of base insulator within the body beneath the skin, on top of which a large array of crystals would be attached, and then have their respective circuits etched out like printed circuits.

Source force loops will be attached to these loops and can be designed and programmed to be any controller or sensor.

It can be used in combat, as well as a storage device for personal codes and data, and can naturally receive various signals from the outside world.

As data fills the circuits of the Force, it is the basis for sensing the electronic majesty of the Omnissiah, and the basis for electronic warfare among the Mechanic Priests.

The servants of Mecha-God will feel satisfaction and happiness as sweet as nectar, which is one of the reasons why the Mecha-priests who have abandoned the low-level desires of flesh and blood are frantically pursuing data.

Having the firewall breached and having waste code injected into the source power circuit is a situation that no mechanical priest would try to avoid. Not only would it bring them enormous pain, it would also be essentially the same as death.

"Fire!"

Seeing that hiding was meaningless, Horatio decisively gave an order, ordering the Hell's Spies to launch an attack and strike first.

But the mechanical heretic reacted quickly. The source power circuit immediately sent a signal, controlling the mechanical servant beside it to stand in front of itself.

The bulky mechanical servant was smashed into pieces by the fierce firepower. Taking advantage of a moment of respite, the mechanical heretic quickly sent a binary code to an unknown place.

The Hell's Vanguards could only watch helplessly as the Imperial Navy's equipment was unable to intercept the creations of the Mechanicus.

Horatio looked at the servitor, which had already deployed its first timed melta bomb.

After returning to retrieve the second bomb, it was crawling towards the other side of the drive shaft.

The mechanical heretic discovered the abnormal behavior of this suspicious servitor and immediately sent a string of garbage code to it.

The maid's robot stopped in place instantly, silent as a statue, with red light in her pupils.

But soon, after a self-restart, the useless code in itself was cleared and it continued to carry out its mission.

The mechanical heretic was quite surprised by this. As a mechanical servant that did not seem to have enhanced electronic warfare, its recovery speed was too fast. It did not believe in evil and launched another waste code attack.

In the invisible space, when the maid robot received the same waste code again, there was a flash of electricity.

Black smoke suddenly emerged from the mechanical heretic's head, and shining electric currents entangled in the circuit pipes of the neural plug like a group of snakes, crackling.

At the same moment when the nearby defenders rushed in, the implanted organ in the mechanical heretic's eye turned into a ball of charcoal, and the machine itself fell to the ground twitching.

When the rebel defenders stepped on the same steel plate, they fell to the ground without warning as if they had been electrocuted, twitching and foaming at the mouth, and soon they were motionless. The piled up corpses temporarily blocked the way for the reinforcements from the rear.

[What is this...? Could it be that Latti is remotely controlling this robot servant and playing a first-person electronic battle?] Faced with this incredible scene, Horatio was also confused and couldn't help but guess.

The female priest who has been staying in the laboratory for a long time is extremely bored. After completing the army's orders, when the army uses the equipment, it is not impossible for her to remotely control it and play a first-person shooter game to kill time.

Because Horatio had seen this case before he came into this world.

But he hoped not, otherwise what happened between him and Louise last night would be like being broadcast live in front of Father Lati? There would even be a video recording!
If it was true, he could already imagine the look in Father Latti's eyes when he returned.

[Ah la~ah la~My new body enhancement surgery is not bad, you see, both the size and dimensions are stronger and more powerful than before, and the performance is also strong and powerful~]
As he took a breath due to the circuit blockage, he thought of the scene in which Father Latti was looking at his iconic case as a masterpiece of enhancement surgery with satisfaction and chuckled, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"The bomb has been installed and the detonation time has been set, 30 minutes left!" Collingwood reported.

"Okay, retreat immediately! Have the reserve team prepare the Taurus assault vehicles and stand by.

"White Horse, this is Pegasus, the bombs on the gun mount have been installed, how is the situation on your side?" Horatio put aside all distracting thoughts and decided to talk about it when he got back.

"'Tianma', this is 'Baima', we have successfully completed the mission, carried out the weather modification operation, and destroyed the control console.

They also dropped a hot melt bomb on the signal line socket below, sweeping away the construction blueprints used for maintenance. Now unless the heretics who built it come back in person, they won’t be able to repair it. The enemy has already discovered the weather change, and we are evacuating.”

Sure enough, soon, the long sound of the alarm siren resounded throughout the airspace.

At this moment, it doesn’t matter whether it is exposed or not.

The thick clouds in the sky overhead were slowly dispersing, and the void bridge lookout in orbit could see it clearly.

"Captain, we have detected that the weather in the southern part of the core continent has begun to change. Captain Horatio Cochrane's detachment has completed its mission!"

Brigadier General Edward Perroux sat on the command throne, looking through the monitor at the bright beam of light on the Spire of Babel that was dispelling the storm and clouds, and he couldn't help but pat the armrest of the throne excitedly.

"Okay! Aviation department, get the pilots ready! And contact the aviation departments of other ships to support your captain."

"Yes!" The second lieutenant stationed on the aviation command bridge saluted, and then immediately contacted the aviation command bridge from the communications department, asking the pilots to begin preparations and conduct aviation dispatch according to the attack wave list left by Horatio before departure.

On the ground, Horatio led the detachment to fight and retreat, relying on the route planned when they came to evacuate quickly.

Those tracked CAT drones that had previously infiltrated for reconnaissance were moved to various important roads by the reconnaissance soldiers along the way and activated the infrared detonation self-destruction program.

When the Hell's Vanguards were roller-skating between the compartments inside the turret and the pursuers behind them were still panting and running in pursuit, they did not know that the Imperial Navy Special Forces had already left them many big mines.

The CAT drones hidden in the grilles emitted thin, invisible infrared beams and began to count the people passing by.

When the drone detected three people passing in front of it in a short period of time, a loud bang was heard.

Countless fragments from the self-destructing drone camera flew towards the pursuers with the help of directional steel plates, and only wailing could be heard in the corridor.

"This way!" Horatio slid while using the hand of command combined with the forward-looking perspective of the servoskull to fine-tune the evacuation route based on the real-time situation of the enemy's pursuit.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of rebel soldiers rushed out from the front to block his way.

Louise handed them the high-explosive fragmentation grenade that she had prepared after removing the pick from her hand. Under the high-speed shooting of the Hell Carbine, the blue-armored warriors followed Horatio and changed their routes one after another.

The wailing of alarms and the sound of dense footsteps masked the friction noise of high-speed sliding.

The enemy only knew that enemy soldiers had infiltrated, but they didn't know exactly where the enemy soldiers were in such a vast artillery fort that was as big as a mountain.

Moreover, this group of enemy troops who infiltrated without anyone noticing acted extremely quickly.

For a moment, the fortress commander received multiple confusing eyewitness reports from different locations.

The Mechanical Heretic reported that a Skitarii Vanguard Alpha Squad had infiltrated the area because they possessed electronic warfare capabilities.

The rebels pursuing from behind saw their gravity parachutes and reported that they were Harakoni Fighting Falcons or Alicia Airborne Troopers.

The rebels who survived the encounter and saw them flash by reported them as Astartes, because the power armor's assault capability was too fierce.

The various reports left the fortress war room confused. They did not detect a large-scale landing of the Imperial Army, and the enemy's infiltration forces were too diverse.

Then who the hell is this person coming in? ? ?
"Quick, assemble!"

"Where are the enemy soldiers?" A group of rebel soldiers gathered in a disorderly manner at the shouting of their leader.

Just as he finished speaking, a black shadow rushed past them at high speed. One of the tall figures with a silver right arm punched away the rebels blocking the way.

However, the force of this punch was a bit too strong. When the other rebels came to their senses and looked at this man, the back of his head had been shattered into a pool and stuck to the steel wall, and the front half of his face had also collapsed into a horrible big hole.

Buzz! A blood-red chainsaw sword appeared in his hand and began to roar.

"Astartes! Astartes of the Corpse King!" An excited and nervous shout came from beside Horatio.

The motor roared, and the rebels blocking the way ahead were cut in half one after another by Horatio, who was speeding through the room at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour.

More and more eyewitness reports were sent to the fortress commander. Considering the losses on all sides and the eyewitness characteristics, it was almost certain that the attacking enemy was an elite Astartes squad.

Their silent infiltration and high-speed movements were something that his mortal troops could never resist.

"Close the gate! Enable communication jammer! The narrow terrain is melted by heat. Even the Corpse King's most powerful lackey will die. Use the numbers to crush them!"

The muscles on the rebel fortress commander's face, which was engraved with blasphemous emblems, twitched, and his blood-red lips turned outward, revealing his black teeth engraved with scriptures.

But Horatio had no intention of going out through the gate.

boom! !

The bomb placed on the gun mount exploded on time, the transmission gears of the turret flew out instantly, and the copper parts on the turret seat ring were melted by the ultra-high temperature shock wave, leaving a big hole. If it wanted to be repaired, at least the gun ring had to be reshaped in a certain area, or the entire gun ring had to be dismantled and recast.

Their mission was accomplished, and the Imperial Navy obtained a safe orbital drop zone of thousands of square kilometers in the southern part of the Farr continent.
