Eternal Night

Chapter 424: Everyday Life in the Warhammer World...

Wu Xianxiao watched with satisfaction as groups of civilians entered the underground facilities of the fortifications. There were oxygen and life support systems inside the fortifications, so they could stay there safely.

The entire fortification covers a huge area, about fifty meters above the ground, with a large number of cross-fire views and long-range support heavy weapons fire lines. At the same time, the heavy artillery and even macro-cannon weapons removed from the cruiser have also been installed.

At the core of the fortification is the void shield removed from the battleship, as well as the reactor that serves as the energy source of the fortification. As long as this place is not destroyed, this position will not have to fear various bombardments from outer space. All enemies can only attack and capture this place from the ground.

“…But this is unscientific.”

After Wu Xianxiao knew all these arrangements, he could only sigh that this was very unscientific.

But this is very magical, and very Warhammer...

In short, in just less than ten days, such a high-tech modern fortification was completed. At the same time, all the personnel on the battleship were transferred to this ground fortification. The entire cruiser was also being dismantled rapidly, and its materials were used to continue to expand and strengthen the fortification.

This sputtering speed and this technological strength have slightly improved Wu Xianxiao's bad impression of this world. After all, it is the human interstellar era tens of thousands of years after the 21st century, so... maybe it still has its merits, right?

On the other hand, the technical priest Armida kept pestering Kesiya, just to take a look at the sacred object...STC!

The full name of STC is Standard Construction Template System. It is a black box technological creation and a relic of the golden age of mankind in this world.

During the Golden Age of Humankind, humans traveled across the galaxy and built colonies on countless planets. Humans at that time were high-spirited, rational, and full of wisdom, and their technology was extremely advanced, so they created many convenient manufacturing tools.

As long as there are enough materials, and they don't even need to be ready-made forged materials, including minerals, this tool can quickly produce finished products, similar to a joke that Wu Xianxiao knew, such as pushing a pig into a mechanical assembly line, and then sausages coming out directly at the other end. STC is such a thing, a portable manufacturing factory that combines intelligent systems, central databases, manufacturing templates, nano units, etc.

But that was the situation during the Golden Age of Humanity.

In the current human empire, the STC has been completely deified and is considered by the Mechanicum to be a fragment of the God of All Machines, or an absolute "secret". In short, the STC has become either an extremely deified relic, or a forbidden item with extremely high information authority, which will lead to a massacre if it is known by the outside world.

At the same time, the complete version of the STC from the Golden Age no longer exists. In the current Human Empire, STCs have been fragmented, and each STC can only produce a single thing, such as STC for making Coke, STC for making clothes and pants, and humans no longer have the ability to make new STCs. All STCs come from archaeological excavations of Golden Age ruins and planets. Each STC is so precious that rank advancement in the Mechanicus is often related to excavating and obtaining an STC.

As an elite Inquisitor, Kaisia ​​has a great Inquisitor as her teacher, so she has many trump cards. The Warhound Titan that was trapped in the Heaven World before is one of her trump cards. At the same time, she also has an STC for the construction module of a small residential area on an uninhabitable planet...

That’s right, this super-large fortification, which Wu Xianxiao thought was full of high-tech content, strong defense, and had an internal life support system and oxygen circulation system, was considered a “small residential area” unit in the eyes of humans in the Golden Age.

Tech-priest Armida is also a member of the Mechanicus. He is filled with an irrational and extreme fanaticism for technological creations. After learning that there is a hidden STC in Caesia, he fell into this state of fanaticism.

Kesiya also knew the appeal of STC to the Mechanicus personnel. Since she dared to use it, she had already thought of how to deal with this STC. She would contact the Mechanicus through Amida, and then use this STC to obtain enough benefits through transactions with the Mechanicus's top leaders. Her psychological bottom line was at least three Warhound-class Titans and a battleship. If that was not possible, at least a cruiser would be needed, and then a 50,000-man Stormtrooper Corps armed equipment. All of these could serve as Wu Xianxiao's personal guard in the future.

Armida hesitated for a long time before saying, "...I can't make the decision on these things. I'm just a technical priest, but I have connections behind me. I can contact a mechanical sage in a forge world for you. He is my mentor. That forge world is located in the Misty Galaxy and has a large enough construction capacity. It should be able to meet the requirements of Your Excellency the Inquisitor."

Kaisiya smiled coldly and said, "These alone are not enough. You know what I mean. This STC is just a gift. What I need is long-term cooperation with a forge world and support within the Mechanicus... Let me put it bluntly, Armida, no matter what kind of person you were before, now you have come into contact with Him, know Him, and survived, so you are also the chosen one. From the moment you escaped from the paradise world, your destiny is no longer in your own hands. You are a part of His glory. No matter whether you are a technical priest now, you will definitely be extraordinary in the future, but there is only one premise for everything..."

"Him! His existence, His glory and greatness, His recognition of the Imperium of Man, His recognition of the Emperor, and even more in the future... Saving the Imperium of Man, saving the Emperor from the Golden Throne, can all of this be accomplished by a mere Tech-Priest?"

Kesiya stopped Amida from saying the next thing. She said, "You haven't figured it out yet. You are far inferior to Reston in this regard. You should have seen it, right? Recently, he organized some believers and some state religion personnel to recall and record the state religion classics, various books, and various materials. Do you think this is something a mere parish priest can do? But he is still doing it without hesitation, and constantly deleting some of the extreme cases. He also gives speeches to the public every day to reconcile conflicts and prevent some of the extreme behaviors and extreme ideas of the people. Why does he do this? What is the reason? You can calm down and think about it carefully."

Amidah left silently, leaving only Kesiya to handle various civil affairs, including the distribution of various foods, the production of corpse starch, the inventory of promethium, the number of weapons, the maintenance of the void shield... and everything else.

After dealing with all this, Kesiya suddenly said: "...Have you seen the military plan?"

Tai Qilong's voice came from beside Kesiya. He said: "I have confirmed each one again and again, and confirmed it again and again with the senior commanders of the Astra Militarum. In the end, we only came to one conclusion... Perfect! Targeting various enemies, various situations, cross-activity, the number of defense forces in the same area, the number of heavy weapons for concentrated fire, rotational forces, backup replacement forces, and retreating to the second and third lines of defense in emergency situations... Perfect!"

Kesiya's lips curled up slightly and said: "It must be perfect, they are... the primarchs!"

Tai Qilong said with a stern expression: "Demonic Primarch!"

Kesiya did not refute. She lay back on the chair, put her hands behind her head, closed her eyes and said, "Old friend, comrade, you know I am a psychic, right?"

Tai Qilong did not speak. He knew that Kaisiya did not need him to speak. Sure enough, Kaisiya continued, "I... often have a dream. In the dream, the Milky Way splits apart. Darkness spreads from the center of the Milky Way, dividing the entire Milky Way into two halves. The half closer to Terra is still illuminated by the Star Torch, but the other half is trapped in darkness. Monsters, terrors, and demons are rampant. People cry in blood and fire, and then are dragged into endless darkness by all these monsters. They can neither live nor die..."

"Taichlong, how I want to save all this..." Taichillon still stood straight in the same place, with standard military posture, expression and stance unwavering. New mechanical eyes were installed on his iron-blooded face, with red light shining through them.

"Let's just believe it all! Let's just believe that we will have three more loyal Primarchs, let's just believe that their betrayal was forced, let's just believe... He will also stand on the side of humanity!"

Kaisiya sat up again, picked up the government document and said, "If I am deceived, if I become an accomplice... remember to save a bullet for me."

At this moment, there was a huge roar and the whole basement shook violently, but Kessia and Taichilon did not even show a trace of fear or panic. On the contrary, their expressions showed a sense of familiarity. The daily life and the world they were familiar with were back.

This is the daily life of Warhammer, either in the war or on the way to the battlefield.

On the fifth day after the fortifications were built, and more than forty days after the Otia Paradise World was torn apart by the four evil gods, the first group of Chaos Space Marines arrived at the star system. After jumping out from Mandeville Point, they headed directly for this dead planet. It was obvious that they had some kind of guidance or foresight and knew the target in advance.

This is a mixed interstellar battleship group composed of six warships of different sizes. Four of the warships have paint jobs on them. The approximate shape of the paint jobs is a broken Imperial Skyhawk and a bleeding Scimitar. As soon as the six warships arrived in the outer space orbit of the planet, they immediately began to bombard the ground with starship macro-cannons. The entire fortifications and the surrounding large area were immediately caught in the fierce roar of artillery shells and explosions.

But the bombing did not achieve any results.

The existence of the void shield transferred all the bombing into the subspace. This was also due to Wu Xianxiao's characteristics. He did not isolate the subspace, but filtered the negative aspects of the subspace and swallowed them into the negative aspects of his personal sea of ​​consciousness. Therefore, engineering machinery similar to the void shield could be used.

After the six space battleships bombarded for a while, they confirmed the existence of the void shield, and then immediately launched an airborne delivery operation. There was no intention of communication in the middle, and everything seemed to be taken for granted, finding, bombing, dispatching ground troops, landing vehicles, and besieging personnel... Not only the attacking troops seemed to take it for granted, but also the Astra Militarum, the former planetary defense force, the militia selected from the people, and all the main commanders, Kessia, and the three primarchs, they all seemed to take it for granted.

Even Wu Xianxiao felt a sense of relief from their emotions...

No, guys, this is war, okay? There were bombings and explosions outside the fortifications, and then the enemy swarmed in, with at least 200,000 or 300,000 landing troops as the vanguard, and a large number of vehicles following, people died every moment, and then everyone had a nostalgic sense of security! ?

All of them have cat disease (broken voice)! !
Wu Xianxiao stood in the crowd and roared silently.

But this did not affect the orderly actions of the surrounding humans at all, whether they were individual soldiers, middle-level non-commissioned officers, political commissar officers, or Caesia and the three primarch commanders, they all looked confident.

"No... I saw several tanks from the opposite side rushing to the front of the position. At least four or five hundred soldiers have died there!" Wu Xianxiao roared, pointing at a position.

Several people and a demon head in the command position looked at him, and then several people and the demon head looked at each other, and a question mark seemed to appear on their foreheads.

Wu Xianxiao was not at all happy that his confusion index began to rise. This was not the scene he wanted to see, because he clearly sensed the same question from the emotions of several people.

Only a few hundred people died. Hadn't they already stopped the enemy's vehicles and soldiers? Why was Wu Xianxiao so nervous?
Kaisiya considered his words carefully and said, "Your Excellency the Living Saint, there are no Chaos Demons, powerful psychics, or city-breaking vehicles such as Titans... The battle situation is still stable, there is nothing to worry about."

Magnus also said: "They are just Red Pirates. They have neither the Emperor's blessing nor the Four Gods' attention. They are arrogant mortals who want to borrow Chaos. They are easy to deal with. No problem."

"no……"

Wu Xianxiao fell into a deep state of powerlessness. He looked at everyone's as if it was a matter of course. Even Kesiya looked at the dead soldiers with an expression of joy, surprise and ecstasy, because the souls of the dead soldiers were directly annihilated or disappeared instead of falling into the subspace. All this made Wu Xianxiao have endless complaints.

"Forget it... I'll attack. At least I can destroy all of the enemy's vehicles." Wu Xianxiao said helplessly.

Everyone still had an expression that said "you are invincible, you can do whatever you want". They bowed their heads slightly, then continued to watch the battlefield situation and continue to direct the deployment of personnel.

Then Wu Xianxiao went towards the vehicle battlefield.

At the same time, on a battleship, a Space Marine commander with a highly mechanized body looked coldly at the Chaos Wizard standing next to him. As the psychic spell cast by the wizard, the blood of the sacrifices on the ground gathered into a mirror, on which a scene of a battlefield appeared. A human with a bird on his shoulder, a fly on his waist and a dog following under his feet was heading towards the battlefield.

"Is it him? The destined sixth one!" the commander asked coldly.

The wizard bowed and said, "No, he is just the destined sacrifice for the sixth one. Whoever kills him will be the sixth one, like you..."

The commander laughed, then he turned and walked away, saying as he walked: "Well said, now... let me create my own myth myself!"

"Kill this horribly weak human!"
