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

Chapter 499 Uslan's Advice (Please Subscribe)

The Iron Legion won the first battle and even forced the Thousand Sons to abandon their proud flagship of the Queen of Glory, which was a great shame for any Astartes Legion.

But this is also the victory of the Iron Legion.

However, in order to protect his brothers, Ahriman made the difficult choice to cut off his tail and survive.

His decisive retreat also made Roche give up the idea of ​​deliberately letting them win. Perhaps keeping this group of traitors with wavering positions would be a bigger trouble for Horus.

When Roxi thought of the "elite soldiers and generals" under Horus, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

But he has received professional training and usually doesn't laugh.

The ambitious Lorgar the Great Bearer, Angron who gave up completely after ascending to magic, and the sensual Fulgrim, Konrad Curze who has become a traitor, and Magnus who is obsessed with finding his soul fragments.

The only two people who were really willing to work were Mortarion and Perturabo. The Iron Lord, who was like a transparent man in the eyes of the Emperor, had exhausted all his loyalty in the endless battles and the quagmire of war, and resolutely went to the Warmaster's camp.

But now, according to Roche, the rebels still look down on the Iron Warriors. The work done by the Fourth Legion is no different from the past, and the pressure and casualties they bear are even greater than before.

After all, although the empire once ignored them, at least it would not stab them in the back. But what about now?

"Perturabo, Perturabo, you did hard work before you rebelled, and you still did hard work after you rebelled. Didn't you rebel in vain? Your own legion and descendants were betrayed by the Thousand Sons, why do you do this?"

He had learned a lot of information and intelligence from the machine soul of the Glorious Queen. The Lord of Iron himself was sent by Horus to retrieve Angron, who had been promoted to a demon, and could not arrive at the battlefield on time.

If Perturabo knew what happened here, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would have a cerebral hemorrhage.

Roche couldn't help but sigh. The war blacksmith Dantioch he knew gave him a good impression of the Iron Warriors. Compared with that warrior who was truly made of steel inside and out and was brave and fearless, even the Lord of Iron himself seemed so fragile and ridiculous.

Perturabo? Just an Olympian baby who never grows up. He knows nothing about being made of steel.

"Horus was able to reach the gate of the solar system with the help of this group of anthropomorphic allies. This was the best result that could be achieved with his extraordinary command ability and the help of the warp."

"The intelligence shows that Leman Russ assassinated the Warmaster and was rescued by Jaghatai Khan?"

"Fortunately, the Wolf King is still alive. If the Khan hadn't arrived in time, this guy would have died in the hands of Horus."

Luo Xi frowned. There was no more information about Horus' assassination in the machine soul of the Radiant Light. It was obvious that the warmaster himself had blocked the news.

"Now I am outside, Lion's fleet is inside, and Horus's rebels are surrounded by two sides. If we can't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life."

He plucked the threads of electromagnetic force. Within a galaxy, conventional electromagnetic signals were actually faster than sub-space astronomy.

The communication request from Roche came directly from the command platform of the bridge of the New Caliban. Before the crew on the battleship could even react, Roche's figure had already appeared in front of Ryan through holographic projection.

He was the one who built the New Caliban, so he naturally knew the details of this battleship.

"Here we come, Ryan."

"Reinforcements have arrived."

The Lion King, who was busy commanding the warships and fighting against the huge Black Stone Fortress, suddenly turned around.

Luo Xi saw that the majestic lion's eyes were red, and his originally meticulous long golden hair now looked a little frizzy and greasy. A deep sense of fatigue appeared on his heroic face. Ryan looked like he had not rested for a long time.

The two Thundercloud-class planetary battleships could not gain any advantage against the awakened Blackstone Fortress.

The former's high mobility made the Blackstone Fortress's psychic vortex cannons nearly impossible to hit, while the latter's almost perverted warp field significantly reduced the power of the star destroyer cannons. The war between the two sides had been going on for a long time, and the Imperial Fleet had to remain highly vigilant and maneuverable to maintain this balance.

As soon as he saw Luo Xi's holographic projection, the Lion King's dark pupils suddenly lit up with excitement. He was fed up with this meaningless confrontation and entanglement, and the moment that could change the situation of the battle had finally arrived.

"I need to know the information about Blackstone Fortress, and the most crucial point is - how to destroy it?"

Ryan didn't waste any time and went straight to Luo Xi to ask for information.

When it comes to Blackrock Fortress, it is natural for the Eldar themselves to answer this question.

The prophet of Usvi Ark who followed Roche to Betagarmon, Eldrad Uslan, was pushed in front of him by Roche.

This Eldar prophet, who was dedicated to uniting all intelligent races to fight against the forces of Chaos, was overwhelmed when he saw the Black Stone Fortress killing everyone in the galaxy.

An extremely complex and tangled expression of pain mixed into a pot of strange potion on his face, forcing him to drink it.

"How could it be possible? How could the Black Stone Fortress used by our race to fight against the Necrons and the Star Gods be used by the forces of Chaos?"

"The Blackstone Fortress was forged by Val, the God of Forging. Without corresponding verification methods and operating means, it is theoretically impossible to control the Blackstone Fortress."

"But this is the fact, Prophet." Luo Xi said helplessly, "Now is not the time to doubt or blame ourselves. We need your wisdom. Tell us what the weakness of this thing is and how we can defeat it."

Uslan did not rush to answer. He tried hard to recall the information about the Black Stone Fortress in his memory. He was sure that he had seen this powerful weapon of the ancient elves in some lost materials.

It's just that he doesn't know more about them because the elves are no longer able to use them.

With the help of his psychic vision, he could see the circle of sub-space energy field surrounding the surface of the Blackstone Fortress, which was similar to a mosaic, and he immediately realized that the Blackstone Fortress had entered a complete state of war.

"I bet those running dogs of Chaos don't know how to control the Blackstone Fortress. This is an ancient secret of our race. Now the Blackstone Fortress is reacting to the stress. It feels the danger of destruction, so it has triggered these self-defense measures."

Uslan's words made Ryan's brows relax a little. At least the intelligence from this pointy-eared Eldar had told them that the Blackstone Fortress had been fully activated and that they could indeed pose a real threat to these alien creations.

They had no idea to what extent this alien relic could be used. If the Blackstone Fortress was not in complete condition now, Ryan would have to consider retreating temporarily.

"In the distant past, the Blackstone Fortress would only activate the Warp Domain to protect itself when it encountered the Necrons' World Engine or even the Star God himself."

"Then how did the enemies of Blackstone Fortress destroy it in the past? Give a few more examples." Luo Xi had a vague guess in his mind, but still asked.

“That was pure violence, of course. I admit that your celestial warships are indeed very good weapons of war, but compared to the battles in heaven in the past, they are just minor skirmishes.

The Necrons' world engines are extremely aggressive, and the Star Gods can directly manipulate the material universe itself to launch attacks. It would not be surprising if they just grabbed a star and used it as a bowling ball." The prophet shrugged.

Luo Xi was not annoyed when he heard Uslan's words. Thundercloud was just the first generation of warships. He believed that one day humans would be able to catch up with the technological level of the Necrons.

"If you believe me, you can send a team of Space Marines to take me to the core control center of the Blackstone Fortress while the warships suppress the Blackstone Fortress with firepower. I have a way to awaken its consciousness."

The words of the Eldar prophet made Ryan look sideways slightly. In this extremely dangerous war, the Eldar had the courage and determination to go to the enemy's base camp and paralyze the opponent's fortress. They were indeed different from the cunning aliens in his impression.

"I will let Costwain lead a tactical force composed of Deathwing and Terrorwing to escort you to complete the mission. I hope you will not let me down." Ryan said seriously.

"I will fulfill my mission." Uslan leaned on his staff, looked Ryan straight in the eyes and gave an affirmative answer.
