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

Chapter 605: Eldar reinforcements arrive (asking for monthly tickets)

Terra has learned the outcome of the Battle of the Twin Gates.

Dorn also expressed his affirmation of this result.

Judging from the power Horus has now demonstrated, it is basically impossible to completely block him outside the solar system.

Anyone who dared to think so undoubtedly underestimated the Warmaster. He was Horus Lupercal, the Primarch with the strongest command ability. Even Lion's Johnson was inferior to him in large-scale combat.

Therefore, the Primarchs chose to completely blow up the Gemini Gates to prevent the rebels from using these two stargates left over from the dark technology age to carry out large-scale troop deployments.

All that was left was to make full use of the thousands of defense lines from Pluto to Terra, and actively let the rebels get into this pocket, which would naturally make Horus weaker and weaker.

Defense master Rogal Dorn carefully designed the strength of each line of defense to ensure that the rebels could take it, but they would have to pay a bloody price.

With each line of defense they took, the rebels felt that victory was just around the corner, and that they could reach Terra as long as they made one more effort.

And this is where Dorn's brilliance lies. If he had simply built an indestructible defense, the rebels would have had to continue waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and then accumulate enough strength before making another move.

Just like when a flood comes, simply building dams to block it will only cause the flood to continue to rise and expand, and finally break through the dams in a destructive manner.

If we give them hope like we are doing now, and let them run around in an endless battle and bleed slowly, they will pay a lot of sunk costs without realizing it.

After hearing about Dorn's plan, Roche even called this tactic discussed by the Primarchs the "Pin Xixi" tactic.

Oil boils over a fierce fire, blood is drained slowly, and only a soft knife can kill silently.

Terra, conference hall.

At this moment, Roche was looking at Adam and Sigismund walking side by side with a strange look on his face. According to his observation, Adam seemed to have a very good relationship with the Imperial Fists.

This was beyond his expectations. Adam learned much faster than he thought, so Luo Xi sent him out to the front line to gain experience.

"Father."

As soon as Adam saw Luo Xi, he walked towards him quickly. His expression was exactly like a son who had returned triumphantly and was happy to see his father.

Today, most of the commanders of the Empire have gathered here. Not only are there several Primarchs stationed here, but there are also people like Imperial Admiral Sukasan and commanders of various mortal auxiliary legions who are busy collecting and summarizing intelligence and cooperating with the Primarchs in battlefield simulations.

Adam, however, paid no attention to the solemn atmosphere. In his eyes, there was only his Creator, and everyone else was just a passerby.

Luo Xi smiled and touched the big boy's head. Adam, who was originally smart, suddenly showed the expression of a silly son.

Sigismund excitedly reported the battle situation to Dorne. However, this god of war who could defeat a hundred men alone on the battlefield looked uneasy in front of Dorne.

At this moment he even envied Adam a little, because he and his father could play around casually in such a serious occasion.

He subconsciously wanted to touch his smooth head, imagining whether Dorn could also touch his head here.

But then he saw Dorn's cold and serious face and immediately came to his senses.

Dorn listened seriously to his eldest son's report, humming once or twice from time to time to express his approval.

There was a hint of gentleness and recognition in his eyes towards Sigismund, but his expression was still rigid. His character had always been like this, and no one could change him.

Merits are merits, and faults are faults. He has not forgotten that Sigismund avoided fighting and hesitated because of the lies told by a female chronicler.

"My Lord," Sigismund said, "please allow me to play a holographic video of Perturabo."

Dorn was a little puzzled, as if the information about the rebellious primarch could be released directly, so why did he have to ask him for instructions.

But soon, Dorn understood why Sigismund asked for instructions first.

Under the gaze of several Primarchs and numerous Imperial commanders, the wonderful footage of Adam angrily scolding Perturabo's projection was played.

When the proud Iron Lord was rendered speechless by the Iron Man's sharp words, and even lashed out in anger, everyone instinctively wanted to burst into laughter. However, years of accumulated Qi cultivation and willpower helped them overcome this urge. However, according to Luo Xi, they all had a hard time holding it back.

The Khan of Chogoris stroked his long beard, nodded as he watched, and laughed approvingly from time to time. Adam's verbal aggressiveness was mostly due to his teachings.

Dorn folded his arms across his chest, carefully observing the subtle reactions and changes in expression of Perturabo when Adam verbally attacked him.

"You did great, Adam."

"You suppressed the arrogance of the traitors and defended the dignity of mankind and the empire. I am proud of you." Luo Xi sighed from the bottom of his heart. Adam's growth was beyond his imagination.

After hearing Luo Xi's praise, Adam seemed to have received the best reward in the world, and stood behind his creator with a happy expression on his face.

"It seems that our traitor brother is very jealous of you. Boy, you better be careful." Chagatai Khan said with a smile, "If you fall into his hands, you will definitely be taken apart for research. Perturabo is proficient in various mechanical creations, and you are more perfect and excellent than any of his creations."

"You insult him and make him angry, but you don't belong to him and make him even angrier. He's like a pufferfish, always angry."

Khan's original attitude towards Iron Man was neither cold nor hot, but after seeing Adam's great eloquence, he liked him more and more.

It does have some of his style.

The Khan's tongue is the most poisonous among his brothers. Almost no one can have a good ending after hearing his mouth. Primarchs such as Guilliman and Leman Russ have experienced this.

"I will not be afraid of a loser. A man who can speak such cruel words to his loyal children is nothing more than a tyrant."

"Your church tells me that success or failure depends on the support of the people, and Perturabo has obviously lost the support of the people a long time ago. So what if he is a Primarch? It's not like there haven't been Primarchs who have been betrayed by their descendants before."

"If he can't even trust his own son, who else can he trust? Or, how many enemies does he have?"

"It is the truth to make your enemies as few as possible and your friends as many as possible."

Adam said with a smile, expressing his inner thoughts.

The satisfaction on Khan's face almost overflowed. He really didn't expect that an iron man with a body of steel could have such understanding.

This was a truth that even a newly born iron man could see through, but Perturabo, who boasted of his unparalleled talent and wisdom, could not see through it.

Roshi was very happy that his iron man son did not grow up crooked. It would be really unfortunate if he was like Horus of Neos.

Just as everyone was repeatedly watching the video of Perturabo being scolded speechless, another old friend brought good news.

It was the Prophet Uslan who had maintained a low presence ever since arriving in Terra.

Just now, Uslan, the old guy who had disappeared, suddenly sent a psychic communication to Luo Xi, and the content of the communication was: he had brought a fleet composed of Ark Eldar to support.

Long ago, when Roshi, Uslan, and the Primarchs of Macragge reached an alliance agreement, the Prophet stated that if humanity was really in danger of destruction, the Ark Eldar would respond.

And now, Uslan really brought the Allies.

Luo Xi's heart was touched. He was wary of Uslan, a member of the elf tribe.

But now Horus's rebels have surrounded the solar system, and in the recent Battle of the Gemini Gate, they have captured Pluto and Neptune as springboards.

Humanity has really reached a desperate situation. If it retreats any further, Horus will really attack Terra.

And now, Uslan has brought the allies. Even without mentioning the number of reinforcements, just based on the other party's attitude, humans must accept the elves' kindness.

As aliens with many old grudges, it was already good enough that they did not add insult to injury or take advantage of the situation. They were also able to bring the Ark to support, which was really the most they could do.

"Where are they?" Dorn asked.

"The moon." Luo Xi looked up and saw a huge gate of light opening from the moon.
