Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 489: Collaborative Operations (Request for Subscription)

Ahriman did not know that there was a great being obscuring his foresight of the future. In fact, there were no more than ten psykers in the galaxy who were able to conceal the truth from Ahriman.

And he could not have imagined that there would be a being who would choose to intervene just for the fun of it.

Fun, fun is everything. That god of the subspace has infinite enthusiasm for all changes and accidents, even if it means that his believers will suffer setbacks.

In other words, to Him, no one is His own, and anyone or anything can be played with.

Even the gods themselves.

"How could that be? Nothing will happen in the future, but my premonition is..."

The chief wizard suddenly opened his eyes, perhaps he was really too sensitive and suspicious.

He was commissioned by the Father of Genes to lead the legion to assist the Warmaster, which was a huge burden for Ahriman.

The Thousand Sons Legion had weakened to the point where it could be destroyed at any time, but his sense of responsibility meant that he would never allow the legion to be destroyed in his hands.

Especially those fallen battle brothers, even the death of one of them would make Ahriman extremely heartbroken.

"To be on the safe side, it seems like a good idea to just leave this muddy water."

"It is better to be safe than sorry. This is an eternal truth."

Ahriman, looking worried, waved his hands, signaling his battle brothers not to worry.

At this moment, he had already decided to retreat. There was not much reason to continue this war that confused him.

What Ahriman did not see was that the direction in which the Mechanicus reinforcement fleet led by Roche arrived was exactly the area where the Thousand Sons Legion was roaming.

Roche used the authority of Ohm Messiah to enhance the fleet's concealment capabilities, and coupled with the influence of Blackstone's anti-subspace stance, it was extremely difficult for the rebels to detect their tracks.

"The long-range scanning array has detected an enemy ship. It is the flagship of the Thousand Sons Legion, the Thousand-foot Light."

"Requesting attack instructions."

The scanning array of the Mechanical Ark is Roche's eyes, and he has captured the unaware prey.

A bloodthirsty smile flashed across Luo Xi's lips. He had already observed and noticed the Brilliant Light and the Iron Blood floating nearby.

The little intentions of these two traitor legions are self-evident, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Luo Xi.

"Being away from the core of the battlefield can indeed reduce the possibility of being attacked, but if there is an additional attack from the outside, what will you do?"

"Order the Iron Legion to prepare for the attack. Lock the spatial coordinates of the Magnificent Light for me. We need to conduct a large-scale teleportation."

At Roche's command, the Iron Legion that was constantly growing and proliferating in the Mechanicus fleet immediately responded to his will.

The electronic eyes of countless dormant iron men lit up scarlet, their metal shells opened, and the reactor energy sources inside began to charge.

On the chests of the Iron Men, there was a shining imperial double-headed eagle emblem, and the majestic sky eagle was shining under the light of the internal reactor.

A large number of drones delivered various weapons. The Iron Men took the weapons one by one and came to the transmission area in neat steps.

"By the way, notify Endred Hal's Emperor's Fangs and have them join the Iron Legion."

Luo Xi suddenly remembered that his fleet not only had the power of the Iron Legion, but also the Emperor's Fangs, which had been restored to their full strength after he took out the Butcher's Nails.

When Luo Xi thought of the group of Black Shield warriors who vowed to take revenge on the rebels, he couldn't help but be moved and decided to give them a chance to fight.

"The Astartes and the Iron Legion fighting side by side can make up for the lack of war data. It is also a good opportunity to verify my theory."

"The two different war forces complementing each other may have unexpected results." Batch after batch of war-type iron men silently but orderly entered the ultra-long-distance transmission system that was in operation.

The Iron Men stood close to each other, without wasting any space, to ensure that the most Iron Men could be teleported to the flagship of the Thousand Sons Legion as soon as possible.

The Broken Hound, who had been on standby, and his fighting brothers were preparing in the teleportation channel on the other side. The blood of this powerful war hound Astarte was boiling, and the violent rage was transformed into deep hatred and murderous intent under the control of his will.

They were wearing newly replaced Star-type power armor and were fully armed with various killing weapons.

The Broken Hound will bring the Emperor's punishment and wrath to traitors, starting with the traitors of the Thousand Sons.

The main control computer locked onto the position of the Thousand-foot Light. Under the influence of Roche's power, its void shield began to ripple imperceptibly. This interference was so covert that even the captain of the Thousand-foot Light did not notice it.

"Teleport activated!"

There was a strong flash of electric light, and the Astartes of the Iron Man and the Emperor's Fang inside the transmission system disappeared without a trace. Ionized ozone appeared in the air, and the chaotic airflow and waves were still surging.

The intelligent computer controlled the order of transmission. It prioritized transmitting a thousand combat iron men to the enemy warships, allowing them to withstand the enemy's first wave of counterattack fire.

The more elite Astartes were teleported to the Radiance in the second batch to reduce unnecessary combat casualties.

The Iron Men appeared in the cabin of the Thousand-foot Light in the flickering light of the warp. These iron war weapons, about three meters tall and flashing with silver-white metallic arcs, quickly spread out under the command of the Node Iron Men.

They use their own scanning systems and sensors to penetrate the thick walls of the warship and directly perceive the enemy's location.

Iron Man's vision is completely different from that of humans. When necessary, they are fully capable of seeing invisible light and using highly penetrating light such as X-rays to gain insight into the enemy's situation.

Even some iron men with specialized reconnaissance capabilities can use the nuclear reactors in their bodies to spall neutron sources, thereby generating strong pulses of neutrons, and use these non-reactive neutrons to penetrate difficult-to-observe targets.

Due to the lack of guided transmission beacons, as well as the interference and errors caused by ultra-long-distance transmission, parts of the bodies of some iron men were stuck in the armor and deck of the battleship.

If it were an Astartes, they would have no choice but to suffer in vain when faced with such an unexpected event that ignored the armor's defenses. Their flesh and blood molecules would mix with the atoms of the battleship, and they would die instantly.

But for Iron Man... this situation is just a small problem.

They directly activated the laser cutters equipped on their bodies, cut off the place where their bodies and the battleship were fused together, and regained their freedom.

As for some unlucky Iron Men whose half of their bodies were directly integrated with the warships, their other Iron Men companions would cut off the exposed parts of their bodies, and then these extremely tenacious war weapons would continue to wriggle and crawl to attack the enemy.

The interior of the magnificent ship of Brilliant Light was covered with colorful glaze and crystal agate, and dazzling gold and silver metals embellished the gray-white steel armor.

The Thousand Sons generally have a fanatical admiration for art. A large number of oil paintings are hung in the corridors and halls of the battleship. The figures depicted in these paintings turn their eyes strangely, discovering the sudden invaders.

An oil painting of a "Screamer" with his hands on his head and screaming silently actually emitted a piercing psychic scream, warning the owner of the ship that the enemy was approaching.

In fact, the interiors of these paintings are inhabited by subspace entities selected by the Thousand Sons Legion. They are sealed in and serve as guards for the Radiance.

Hot plasma gushed out from the Iron Men's hand launchers, instantly evaporating the screaming, hideous oil paintings and vaporizing the subspace demons inside.

The iron men advanced silently, and the heavy footsteps echoed in the passage of the Queen of Glory like a roar from hell.

From time to time, the mortal auxiliary troops of the Fifteenth Legion came to support and tried to resist the advance of the Iron Men, but under the roaring plasma beams and Gauss rays, these brave mortals were reduced to ashes on the ground.

Endred Hal and his battle brothers followed closely behind Iron Man. It was an extremely novel feeling for them to fight side by side with these "hateful intelligences" that were once promoted.

It was very awkward, but after getting used to it, these Black Shield Astartes, who were originally walking in the gray area, soon felt the benefits of fighting alongside the Iron Men.

These silent giants are the best cover. The enemy's light firepower cannot even penetrate the Iron Men's defense, giving the Astartes in the rear a perfect opportunity to output damage.
