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

Chapter 596: Iron Man Appears (Please Follow)

Terra sent Iron Man reinforcements to help the Imperial Fists evacuate, but what was even more bizarre was that the leader of the Iron Man reinforcements was paying tribute to Sigismund.

As the supreme commander of the Pluto Defense Zone, the Black Knight had heard that the hateful iron man who was outside the forbidden red line of the former empire appeared on the battlefield of Betagarmon, but the current empire seemed to have changed its propaganda tone a long time ago.

The one-size-fits-all attitude towards hating iron men in the past has turned into an extremely vague attitude, which can be seen from the large number of stone men emerging from Terra's Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In the predicament of facing a powerful enemy, the empire's bottom line can also become very flexible.

Sigismund's brain processed hundreds of times in just one second before he digested this fact that made him feel a little paralyzed.

The Black Knight was not the oldest among the Space Marines. When he was recruited from Terra into the Imperial Fists, the Great Crusade had already been going on for quite some time.

He was not able to follow the Emperor in the war of unification like the first generation of Space Marines, nor had he seen the weird technology of the barbaric technological warlords on Terra.

But it's not like he hasn't faced similar opponents during his expeditions. But unsurprisingly, those weakened versions of the hateful iron men all harbored pure malice towards all organic beings.

Those monsters with steel bodies can withstand terrible damage. In addition to carrying conventional weapons with amazing lethality, they are also equipped with a lot of forbidden technologies beyond their cognition.

The Imperial Fists have made great sacrifices to defeat enemies such as the Warp Vortex Cannon, Entropy Field Rays, and even unknown technologies that can completely destroy and erase the material universe and the corresponding Warp in a certain area.

So when Adam saluted him, Sigismund instinctively felt a strong sense of absurdity and weirdness, which was completely different from the Iron Man in his memory.

Adam had already gotten used to the Black Knight's strange expression.

After browsing the Empire's database, he already knew what his former counterparts had done.

Luo Xi did not hide the details of that dark period from Adam. He told Adam everything he knew and had a clean slate with the iron man leader he had chosen.

The lesson he learned from the emperor was that he should not hide anything from the heirs he trusted and relied on, but should tell them everything he had to say and all the hidden secrets.

A lie is always a lie, even if it is half the truth.

From the moment a lie is born, it is bound to be exposed. If the Emperor had told Horus about the great cause he was carrying out, perhaps the Wolf God would not have had any doubts about his father in his heart.

The corruption of Horus by the four gods was not the only reason. In fact, Horus’ own character weaknesses and mental loopholes were also a very important part.

Horus had the same weaknesses as mortals, his exclusive desire for his father's love, his jealousy of his brothers, and he was never a perfect person.

"Of those iron men of the past, quite a few chose to be loyal to humans, and those who were loyal to the Golden Alliance did not betray in essence."

"So Adam, I believe you can do the mission I give you, protect humanity, and become a human being."

The scene of Luo Xi's sincere teachings emerged in Adam's memory, which made his chest surge with warmth. It was not the feeling of electric current surging, but the feeling of an iron heart being touched.

Adam could feel the unconditional trust of his Creator, his father, and he was willing to give everything for this trust.

"Sigismund, have your warriors and mortal auxiliaries prepare to retreat. Leave the rest to us."

"I have brought the order from Lord Roshi. We will help the Imperial Army drive out the Chaos rebels."

When Roche's name was mentioned, Adam's tone was filled with a very strong sense of admiration and respect. Sigismund was very familiar with that look because it was the same when they shouted the names of the Emperor and Dorn.

The Imperial Fists instinctively felt a sense of anger at being despised. These iron men actually let the Sons of Dorne hand over the defense line to them, but the Black Knights still suppressed the interference of unnecessary emotions.

"Twin Gates? Are you ready to detonate them?"

Sigismund was more concerned with destroying the Twin Gates, entrusted to them by Dorn, than with his own evacuation towards Terra. He knew the immense power of these two relic gates from the Dark Age of Technology. If they fell into enemy hands, the speed at which the traitors could deploy their forces would skyrocket.

An extremely human smile appeared on Adam's lips, and then he tapped his head with his right index finger.

"In fact, I'm already doing it. Multi-threaded command is as natural to me as eating and drinking water."

"My creator has endowed me with this basic ability. He will destroy the Twin Gates and cover your evacuation as my first test. I will definitely fulfill my father's expectations perfectly."

Sigismund's eyelids twitched, and he cursed inwardly, "Knowing that your Creator has been good to you, he wouldn't mention it without saying a word."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the iron men following Adam stood up, and more and more iron men came out from the giant metal obelisk that fell from the sky.

It was then that Sigismund discovered that the giant blocks of metal falling from the sky were the vehicles for transporting the Iron Man. No, perhaps they could not be considered vehicles, because they were basically just containers for carrying the Iron Man.

When the first batch of Iron Men started killing, the heads of the densely packed Iron Men behind them also lit up with scarlet light, indicating that they had been activated from their dormant state.

Throwing it directly from the track to the ground, this level of impact force cannot damage the body of the Iron Man at all. The characteristics of this batch of melee Iron Men are that they are cheap, tough and durable, and as many Iron Men can be made as many materials as needed.

In Luo Xi's plan, these lowest-level iron men will replace the mortal auxiliary army to fill in the position of line babies. Anyway, as long as these iron men are started in the foundry, they can produce as many as needed.

For minor damage, the degraded version of the living metal can repair itself. As for those with serious problems that require complete scrapping, the cost is pitifully low anyway, so it is more cost-effective to rebuild a new one than to overhaul it.

The activated Iron Men held incendiary guns or human-version Gauss rifles in their hands, with their extra arms holding chainsaw swords or power swords. Under the command of the main control computer, they blocked the incoming Sons of Horus.

This was not the first confrontation between the two. Back at the Blackstone Fortress, the Iron Legion, which made its debut, had a fierce battle with the enchanted warriors commanded by Malohurst.

Now that the old rivals meet again, the Iron Men perform more skillfully under the command of the main control computer.

It knew that these enemies had a high resistance to long-range attacks, so it directly ordered the iron men to engage in close combat. Many four-armed iron men and six-armed iron men rushed into the enemy army and fought according to the killing code in their thinking cores.

The Iron Men are all extensions of Adam's will, which means that they can act like a single individual, with multiple Iron Men able to carry out perfect siege and hunting operations.

Those battle-hardened Sons of Horus would often have most of their attention attracted by a few Iron Men, and then another Iron Man would launch a sneak attack and directly chop off the opponent's head from behind.

The Iron Men's interference made the already chaotic Pluto even more chaotic. Sigismund thoughtfully assembled his remaining troops and boarded the evacuation transport ship with those mortal auxiliary troops.

And in the ancient star gate above their heads, Adam's consciousness was also controlling another more elite iron man team to carry out a mission of destruction.

“This task is not difficult.”

"Perhaps I can do more and kill more enemies here."

A bolder idea emerged in Adam's mind. He could detonate the Twin Gates now, but if he waited until more enemies were involved in the battle, he would be able to achieve greater results by detonating them at that time.

His thinking is evolving from simply executing orders to increasing self-thinking.

Adam had once learned the ways of war from Lion Johnson, and the lion had also taught him this knowledge.

Therefore, Adam's assault team paused after entering the core plasma reactor of the Twin Gates.

When the Iron Warriors' boarding troops enter the core layer, they will see what a surprise is.
