The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 314 Servo Skull, Welcome to Holy Terra!
"Hurry up, move faster! What are you all dawdling about?"

"The Cambrian army is about to attack. If we delay any longer, we'll all die here!"

At an intersection, a Black Hawk officer was shouting at several soldiers.

Their unit's mission was to block this intersection as much as possible and prevent the enemy from breaking through.

It was also thanks to the fact that the Cambrian army's armored forces seemed to be somewhat out of sync with the air force when they launched their attack that they were able to set up a defense after the bombing.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even have had this little chance to set up a defense!
Several tripwire mines were detonated and deployed along the road and its sides. Black Hawk anti-armor teams were already in position, equipped with a batch of the latest 88mm rocket launchers.

Despite appearing well-equipped, the Black Hawk unit did not believe they could stop the enemy because they were too few in number and severely lacked armor.

From beginning to end, their entire force only had two Dreadnought mechs that were operational. The remaining armored units were either destroyed in the previous bombing or were scattered elsewhere and had not yet been mobilized.

It seems somewhat unreliable to expect just two Dauntless tanks, along with about a battalion of infantry, to hold off the enemy.

Fortunately, they received several special heavy artillery pieces from the rear. These 210mm heavy mortars, designated MS18, could fire 110kg shells to a range of 17 kilometers, launching a fierce attack on the enemy.

These heavy artillery pieces were originally intended to bombard Petrograd, but unexpectedly, they were going to use them to fight a defensive battle first.

At this moment, the Black Hawk soldiers who were setting up defensive positions were not very optimistic about these heavy artillery pieces, or rather, they were worried that these heavy artillery pieces might not hit the enemy but instead hit their own men first.

After all, these cannons should be classified as siege cannons, which are not very accurate to begin with. Furthermore, because they had lost a lot of artillerymen before, the newly assigned artillerymen were not very skilled.

Just as they were setting up their defensive positions, artillery fire suddenly came, followed by several 203mm grenades that instantly blasted into their positions.

Although the special armored brigade sent by the Cambrian Empire had six Mendeleev tanks, their support firepower was really poor, consisting of only six 82mm mortars.

After all, the Cambrian Empire did not expect to defeat the enemy by artillery fire; they simply wanted to crush the enemy with six heavy tanks.

Unfortunately, players are not very satisfied with this firepower configuration.

Therefore, in order to support this armored brigade, the player also brought four Andrei's Hammer cannons, preparing to use these self-propelled guns that can move quickly to accompany the entire armored brigade in launching an attack.

The sudden artillery barrage left the Black Hawk soldiers somewhat bewildered; they never expected to be subjected to heavy artillery bombardment at such a time.

This doesn't seem to be the case as they imagined!

According to their air force reconnaissance, shouldn't the enemy have an armored force attacking them?
Faced with such a rudimentary position, the 203mm howitzer had an extremely terrifying destructive power. Just a few shrapnel shells hit the ground, causing serious casualties to the Black Hawk soldiers on this position.

A grenade exploded, sending a barrage of steel balls and shrapnel flying in all directions, riddling more than a dozen Black Hawk soldiers nearby with bullets.

These tiny steel balls can even be propelled 200 meters away by gunpowder, and their destructive power is no less than that of bullets. Their terrifying density is like raining down iron.

However, perhaps to avoid affecting friendly forces attacking from the front, Andrei's Hammer, located in the rear, did not fire many shells.

When the players at the front reported that the Mendeleev tanks had moved toward the enemy positions, the Andrei's Hammer tanks at the rear immediately stopped bombarding.

"Your Majesty, is anyone on our side still alive?"

A Black Hawk soldier shakily crawled up from the mound of earth, looked around at the vast expanse of severed limbs, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Haha, thanks to the Emperor, I'm still alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier excitedly replied from the side. As one soldier after another crawled out of the hidden foxhole, the first soldier to emerge breathed a sigh of relief.

But just then, a soldier suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted:

"Wait a minute, look over there! What are those chariots over there?"

"Oh, damn it! We're in trouble!"

Although the smoke from the explosion made it difficult for them to see the tanks in the distance, they could still clearly see the tanks' enormous size through the strange towers on them and the contrast with the Cambrian soldiers next to them.

When they saw the armored vehicles approaching like an armored train, a group of Black Hawk soldiers were startled.

"Go find the anti-tank guns! Where are our guns?"

Upon hearing an officer shout, the soldiers responsible for operating the anti-tank guns rushed over.

After some inspection, they discovered with despair that most of the anti-tank guns that originally occupied this position had been destroyed by enemy artillery.

To this day, all the anti-tank guns they have left are three 75mm cannons.

"Aim at that tank and fire! Don't let that thing get any closer!"

boom!
With a loud bang, a 75mm armor-piercing round was launched instantly, flying at an astonishing speed toward the distant target before striking the frontal armor of the Mendeleev tank.

Bang!

A sharp crack rang out, and the Cambrian soldiers driving the tank frowned slightly. They knew they had been hit by enemy artillery fire.

However, it was clear that the enemy had not penetrated their armor, and the soldiers inside the tanks were unharmed.

"Haha, do you remember what I told you? The armor of our tank is invincible, the Black Hawk Army's firepower can't penetrate it at all!"

"Fire back! Blow up their cannons!"

With the help of a loading machine, two Cambrian soldiers worked together to load a heavy shell onto the cannon.

Immediately afterwards, the 180mm cannon located in front of the tank roared deafeningly at the enemy.

With a loud whooshing sound, the 180mm shell struck the enemy position hard. Although its accuracy seemed average, the subsequent explosion easily obscured the anti-tank guns on the other side.

In the horrific flames, the Black Hawk Empire's meticulously crafted anti-tank cannon was torn to shreds. The barrel flew high into the sky before crashing to the ground, crushing a soldier's leg in its tumbling motion.

As for the artillerymen on the artillery position?
They were all torn to shreds in the bombardment just now!

"My God, what kind of cannon is that?"

Seeing the terrifying power of the explosion, the other Black Hawk soldiers were terrified; it was the first time they had ever seen a cannon with such terrifying power.

At least under normal circumstances, they should not be able to see cannons of this caliber, whether in the Cambrian Empire's mechs or in the Cambrian Empire's ordinary army.

Based on the effects of the explosion, they strongly suspect that the Cambrian Empire has likely moved its naval guns to land! These things are probably not mounted on cruisers, are they?

The six tanks lined up in a row and slowly rolled toward the Black Hawk position ahead.

"Damn it, couldn't this thing run any faster?"

One of the Cold Armored soldiers sitting in the tank couldn't help but complain. He used to fly a reindeer mech. Although that thing wasn't very fast, it could still reach speeds of at least 30 or 40 kilometers per hour.

In comparison, this thing's off-road speed is practically indistinguishable from a tortoise's pace!
"Why are you in such a hurry? Take your time!"

Another artilleryman nearby answered casually as he loaded shells into the coaxial 76mm secondary gun.

After that shelling, although they were quite satisfied with the power of the 180mm main gun, they had to admit that they still preferred to use the 76mm secondary gun.

Although the 76mm secondary gun wasn't that powerful, it was at least easier to load.

They're not monsters like gamers; they can't manually load 180mm shells, and they don't have the patience to slowly tinker with it.

If 76mm cannons are sufficient, why do they go to the trouble of consuming precious 180mm shells?

Several more shells landed on the front line. Compared to the earth-shattering shells from before, these 76mm high-explosive shells looked much less impressive.

Even so, these shells continued to kill Black Hawk soldiers in the front lines, making the faces of the other Black Hawk soldiers who had taken cover even more grim.

Some Black Hawk soldiers, unable to contain their fear, struggled to crawl out and tried to retreat, but the machine gun fire from the tanks ahead made them realize:

Hiding in a trench or foxhole at this moment might offer a chance of survival, but exposing oneself would mean certain death.

"This is terrible! Where are our anti-armor squads? Why haven't they made a move yet?"

Looking at the earthen slope beside them, a Black Hawk soldier hiding in a trench couldn't help but question.

According to their initial plan, this frontal position and the several clumsy anti-tank guns on it were all bait to lure the enemy.

The real trump card should come from the anti-armor squad on the flank and the two Dauntless mechs.

But why haven't these two units shown up yet?
Just as they were wondering what was going on, suddenly, a rocket was fired from the side, leaving a long trail of flame before slamming into the side of a Mendeleev tank.

Sparks flew everywhere, and when the rocket exploded on the side of the tank, the Mendeleev tank in front of it instantly stopped moving.

"Wait a minute, what's going on? Crew three, answer us!"

Over the radio, a soldier in a blitzkrieg was shouting loudly. Several other Mendeleev tanks were startled by the sight before them, unsure of what was going on with that tank.

Unfortunately, despite their repeated calls, the third crew did not respond.

At that moment, other anti-armor teams were already in position, and these Black Hawk soldiers set up their rocket launchers and aimed them at the other Mendeleev tanks that were advancing.

However, the 76mm secondary guns on the sides of these Mendeleev tanks fired a salvo first.

It must be said that these tanks, which look remarkably like armored trains, are indeed designed based on the concept of land cruisers. Especially when these things are deployed sideways and firing in salvo, they look exactly like warships.

Although the design of the Land Cruiser looks rather strange, it must be said that these guns did suppress the Black Hawk anti-armor team that had just peeked out.

This prevented them from firing their remaining rockets, and one rocket even accidentally hit one of their own men.

Just then, someone from car number three, which had been silent until now, finally answered the radio.

"Report! Our tank has just been penetrated by the enemy, and all the main drivers and crew members have been killed!"

"I am the secondary gunner at the very back of the tank, and the only survivor on this vehicle!"

Upon hearing this news, the armored soldiers in the other Mendeleev tanks all showed expressions of disbelief.

"No way, how is this possible? How could they have penetrated our tanks?"

"This isn't right. Our tanks have 100mm thick side armor. What kind of weapon did they use to penetrate our tanks so easily?"

Clearly, these Cambrian soldiers had never encountered Black Hawk helicopters' rocket launchers before.

Otherwise, they would have known just how powerful the penetration of these 88mm rocket launchers really was.

In fact, Andrei was also unsure of the exact penetrating power of this rocket launcher, as he had not yet conducted systematic penetration tests on the captured rocket launchers.

However, if we compare this rocket launcher to the German Tank Hunter rocket launcher of World War II, the German Tank Hunter rocket launcher of World War II had a penetration power of about 200 mm!

Therefore, if the Cambrian Empire was hoping to rely on sufficiently thick armor to stop such rocket launchers, they were definitely overthinking it.

It's unrealistic to expect to block this thing's attacks with armor unless they can further thicken the Mendeleev armor in front of them, turning this thing into a terrifying monster.

With only one survivor remaining, tank number three was certainly no longer able to fight.

Even if they were lucky and the rocket didn't detonate their ammunition rack, it would still take 12 people to operate this tank normally.

The surviving armored soldier tried to reverse the tank, but he had no experience driving a tank, as he was only a gunner.

So much so that after a lot of fiddling around, the tank kept veering forward and backward, and finally even rotated 90 degrees to point its side fire at the enemy.

When the Black Hawk soldiers on the other side saw the tank turn, they were startled, thinking that the land cruiser was going to use its broadside fire against them.

But then they realized that the tank was basically destroyed.

The actions of the tank in front of us are simply the result of survivors inside haphazardly operating it.

"Aim the anti-tank gun at that vehicle and take it out!"

"Haha, the Cambrian army's new weapons are nothing special. In the face of our new anti-tank weapons, this thing is just a lamb to the slaughter!"

But just then, the Andrei's Hammer cannons located in the rear launched another barrage in this direction.

If the Mendeleev tank were still charging forward, the player might not fire in this direction indiscriminately, but since the charging troops have stopped, what is there to worry about?
In the blink of an eye, several heavy shells swept across the position, blasting the Black Hawk soldiers who had just peeked out again, and even tearing apart the two remaining anti-tank guns on the position.

"Send a group of men with me to that slope over there. We have to take out their anti-tank troops!"

"Let's get a few people to climb into that tank. I think this is just a cutscene so we can drive it too!"

One player excitedly told his teammates, looking at the stopped tank with eyes full of excitement.

They didn't care whether the tank was disabled by enemy fire or for some other reason.

Anyway, the tank showed up on the minimap as not destroyed and still drivable, while the driver inside was already killed. Isn't this just giving them a chance to drive it?
The players immediately split into two groups. Several players rushed towards the tank, climbed to the top, and pried open a hatch at the top.

The armored soldiers, clinging to several charred corpses and still frantically operating the tank, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their comrades enter.

"Great, buddy, can you handle this?"

"No problem, don't worry, leave it to me! Move the body somewhere else, or drag it out, to make some space for us!"

Together they opened a hatch on the tank chassis and then shoved all the bodies out from under the tank.

Once the group of players were in position, they easily started the tank.

"I'm going, what's going on?"

Colonel Belyak thought that all the drivers in the tank were dead, and that the thing would just be left lying around as a pile of scrap metal.

Because they didn't have any extra crew members who had received relevant training, the others simply didn't know how to operate the tank.

To his utter surprise, several of Andrei's soldiers crawled inside and immediately restarted the tank.

In addition, a soldier was even seen repairing the tank with a wrench, and the holes on the side of the tank were disappearing at an astonishing speed.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating, but when he looked again, he found that the scene in front of him was the same as what he had seen before.

The tank was clearly blasted with a rocket by the enemy, leaving a large hole, but when they turned around, the hole had disappeared!
After much thought, he still couldn't figure out what was going on, and could only attribute it to some special repair skills of Andrei's engineers.

"Attack! Keep attacking! Don't stop!" "Aim your secondary guns at the flanks and keep suppressing their fire. Keep firing as you advance!"

"We already have infantrymen going to take care of those Black Hawk devils. Don't be afraid, keep moving forward. Our mission is to break through!"

The player drives the tank forward while shouting at the other Mendeleev tanks that are stuck in place.

Listening to the sounds on the radio, the other tank crews also moved forward one after another. Unbeknownst to them, the player's tank, number three, seemed to have suddenly become the commander of the team.

The No. 1 vehicle, which was originally in charge of command, was somewhat embarrassed by the situation and didn't know what to do.

Just as they were at a loss, Colonel Belyak, who was traveling in a truck at the rear, suddenly sent them a radio message.

"Follow vehicle number three and follow their orders. I want to see just how capable Vorontsov's soldiers really are!"

Colonel Belyak spoke with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

To everyone's surprise, Andrei's soldiers were not only a group of warriors, but also possessed such powerful skills.

He didn't care how Andrei's soldiers managed to drive the Mendeleev tank skillfully on their first try; all he wanted now was to break through the enemy lines as quickly as possible and give all the Black Hawk soldiers here a good beating!
The Black Hawk troops stationed on the front lines looked on with despair as they saw the six massive steel behemoths slowly approaching them once again.

They had initially thought their anti-armor team could handle the tanks, but to their surprise, their anti-armor team fired only one rocket before it went silent.

"Warriors of the Empire, prepare yourselves and find places to hide!"

"Once the Cambrian tanks arrive, we'll blow up their chassis with explosives. I refuse to believe that their tanks are indestructible!"

On the players' side, several fanatical players, acting as political commissars, gave a single order and led two companies of Cambrian soldiers to rush towards the gentle slope.

"Charge! For the Empire, attack!"

Accompanied by the players' roars, the Cambrian soldiers, bayonets raised, joined them in a frenzied charge.

Black Hawk soldiers mounted heavy machine guns and opened fire on the charging enemy, but a burning grenade suddenly thrown from the opposite side turned the machine gun position into a sea of ​​fire.

After throwing grenades, players discovered that, compared to regular game characters, those who chose the Zealot class seemed to be able to throw grenades farther.

Could it be because humans in the 40k era had better physical fitness and greater strength than ordinary humans?
Despite the fact that the first rank of soldiers had fallen in the previous machine gun fire, the remaining Cambrian soldiers seemed fearless, inspired by the aura of the fanatics.

With a roar and incredible will, they charged onto the position and engaged the other Black Hawk soldiers in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets before they could react.

Two fanatical players rushed up, firing pistols and drawing military knives to slash at the Black Hawk soldiers beside them.

Seeing these two burly men, their bodies covered in tattoos and bearing special markings on their breastplates, charging forward with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, the Black Hawk soldiers, who had originally wanted to fight them, were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.

The one who is horizontal is afraid of being stunned, and the one who is stunned is afraid of losing his life!
These two guys in front of me are obviously fanatics; they must be the kind of ruthless people who don't care about their lives!
Some fanatical players even used flamethrowers to spray the Black Hawk soldiers in front of them, which terrified them so much that they fled for their lives.

During this period, soldiers who could use flamethrowers were all ruthless individuals.

It's not just because flamethrowers are highly lethal, but also because once the enemy sees a flamethrower, they're guaranteed to concentrate all their firepower on dealing with it, so the flamethrower soldiers have a very high casualty rate.

"Wait a minute, does anyone want to try using the servo skull?"

Suddenly, a player remembered the new content released after a previous game update and asked curiously.

"Don't say that, I want to try it out. I haven't had time to study the new feature carefully since it went live. It's a good opportunity to recruit a server skull to take a look!"

As one player spoke, he opened the system interface and clicked on "Battle Pet Companion".

According to Andrei's classification, servo skulls and demons are all considered accompanying battle pets.

When they recruited the servo skull, the players' backpacks were opened simultaneously, and then a skull covered with wires and mechanical boards, and even a red electronic eye, connected to a small section of the spine, floated into the air.

"Ah ha, my new users... what's with your equipment? It looks so primitive and outdated."

"What's going on? What fatal blow did the Empire suffer that caused your equipment to become so outdated?"

A newly launched servo skull looked at the fanatical player beside it and couldn't help but make a sharp critique.

In his view, although this guy was dressed like a classic imperial fanatic, and might even be cannon fodder recruited by the Inquisition, even if he was cannon fodder, their weaponry was far too outdated!
The pistols and sabers they carried, as well as the flamethrowers behind them, were all ancient versions from who knows how many years ago.

There were no explosive weapons, no laser weapons, no basic disintegration field, and not even a chainsaw weapon.

Also, what are those armor plates on their chests?
Based on the scan results, this thing looks like just an ordinary steel plate!

With weapons and equipment like this, let alone compared to the elite Imperial Guard, even the lowest-level garbage collectors in the city wouldn't be armed to this extent!

The player stared blankly at the server skull next to him, realizing that the thing had just risen up, and immediately launched into a barrage of sharp criticism.

What baffled them even more was that their servo skulls were actually trying to tell them Imperial lame jokes; they were a bunch of chatterboxes!
"Um, if I remember correctly, these servo skulls seem to have lost their emotional control due to brain defects, so they easily let their emotions run wild when thinking about problems."

"I remember there was a similar concept in Warhammer, to the point that many of the server skulls were used as comedic relief characters..."

One of the players suddenly thought of something and said it to his companions.

Some players even grabbed their servo skulls and started fiddling around, trying to figure out if there was any way to turn off the thing's voice system.
"Enough, now is not the time to talk about this!"

One player, for some reason, suddenly started faking his server skull.

With a solemn and dignified expression, he spoke to the skull before him:
“Skull, I need to tell you seriously that we have arrived on a completely different timeline. We are currently in the early years of Terra 3K, and we are fighting alongside the Emperor in the Terra unification war!”

"For the Empire, for humanity, we need your strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of servo skulls around him exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh, God-Emperor above! How sacred this is!"

"Hahaha, guys, I never thought I'd actually make it to Holy Terra in my lifetime! Wait, I think I'm already dead..."

Just as the player was fiddling with his server skull, a burst of machine gun fire suddenly erupted.

Several bullets struck the group, and two Cambrian soldiers who hadn't had time to lie down immediately fell to the ground. The other players also quickly found places to lie down, because at that moment, more than one machine gun was attacking them.

Several Black Hawk squads had somehow circled around to this direction and were firing at them. What made it even more unpleasant for them was that there was a Dauntless mech shooting at them from behind one of the Black Hawk squads.

"Damn it, who are they?"

A servo skull cautiously floated behind cover and asked the player a question.

"Technological warlords, the Emperor's enemies, are now attacking the country where the Emperor resides!"

Upon hearing this, the Servo Skull immediately became restless.

Without the players giving any orders, they sprang into action and quickly flew close to the Black Hawk team in the distance.

"Blasphemy! These damned heretics are utterly blasphemous! How dare they attack the holy Emperor!"

"For the Empire, slay the heretics! Slay these traitors!"

These servo skulls didn't see the enemy before them as invaders. In their eyes, the Emperor was the ruler of mankind, and these people dared to attack the Emperor's army. What were they if not traitors and heretics?
To dare launch an attack on the Emperor is blatant rebellion!

The last guy to launch such a blatant attack on the Emperor was Horus!
The Black Hawk unit, which had just circled around to the side and was preparing to attack the player team, looked at the group of skulls that suddenly rushed towards them, and they were all completely dumbfounded.

"What is this? Is this our skull bomb?"

"Obviously not, this is clearly the despicable Cambrian people stealing the Empire's technology!"

The Black Hawk Empire's skull bombs do not include a spine, and each skull bomb has a small propeller for propulsion.

So after just one observation, they confirmed that these things were not weapons of the Empire.

Although they didn't understand how this thing could fly without even a propeller.

However, this did not stop them from firing at the thing.

A barrage of machine gun bullets swept in, relentlessly firing at the skull that was flying close to the ground.

The Black Hawk team initially thought the skulls were all drone bombs, and that they needed to eliminate them quickly to protect their mechs.

To the Black Hawk Army's surprise, the skulls seemed to stop flying after traveling a certain distance.

They had no idea what level the Cambrian Empire's operators were at, but they felt that these skull bombs were much more maneuverable than their own!

Just as they were thinking this, suddenly, a series of red laser beams shot out from the opposite side.

One laser beam after another accurately struck the Black Hawk soldiers who were firing. In just a moment, seven or eight Black Hawk soldiers fell to the ground, their chests burned with large holes by the lasers.

"Damn heretical soldiers! Feel the wrath of the loyalists!"

While firing small lasers at each other, the skulls cursed and spewed profanities.

As it was spraying, a skull suddenly appeared in the player's private chat area and started spraying at its owner.

"What the hell? When you activated me, couldn't you have equipped me with some decent modules? Look at all this junk I have!"

"No miniature bird-catching device, not even an infrared reconnaissance system, and the only weapon they have is this incredibly low-quality laser emitter. They don't even have a force field shield. What kind of miserable life are they living?"

"Damn it, I'm a combat-oriented skull, not one of those guys who do clerical work! Besides, I don't have any clerical processing modules on my side!"

The players were startled by this scene, mainly because they never expected that this thing could not only talk, but also appear in their chat area and talk!

"Wait a minute, how did you get in? Do pets in this game even have the ability to speak in the chat area?"

One player asked in surprise, and then received a disdainful emoji from the skull.

"Fool, what server skull doesn't connect with the user's data? Didn't you have brain modification surgery before activating me?"

After the question was asked, the skull that had just posed the question suddenly fell silent for a moment.

He hadn't paid much attention before, but only now, upon closer reflection, did he realize a problem:
That's weird. Why don't the users operating these devices have a data cable plugged into their heads?

How exactly do these guys operate?

Could it be some more advanced technology, like implanting a microchip in the brain, or perhaps using that damned abomination AI?

The player didn't notice the skull's silence and instead started searching for it in their own profile.

After searching for a while and confirming that there was no option to modify the module, he shrugged.

"Don't ask me, I'd like to install some good modules for you, but the problem is I don't have any on hand! This feature doesn't seem to be unlocked yet, right?"

After being told that by the player, the skull started cursing again.

"Oh, Your Majesty, am I only fit to fight with this pile of junk?"

"Damn it, if you have the money to equip a Servo Skull, why don't you use that money to trade for some decent stuff from the junk collectors in Hive City? Any junk collector could get me a few decent-looking parts!"

Despite the servo skulls cursing and swearing, they continued firing lasers without stopping.

Under the relentless laser fire, the Black Hawk troops felt as if they had encountered a group of precise riflemen, with soldiers falling one after another.

What bothered them even more was that the enemy's skulls were so flexible and never got close to them!

These creatures float around and hide behind various obstacles from time to time, making it difficult for them to aim and shoot.

Of course, besides that, these Black Hawk soldiers were also wondering about something else:

Where did they get the laser technology on these skulls?
Even now, the Black Hawk Empire can only deploy laser weapons on some large facilities, such as Titans and large airships, where each laser crystal is as big as a person!

In comparison, how come the other party's small laser technology seems so incredibly advanced?
Even though these lasers seem to be about as powerful as rifle bullets and can't penetrate their armored units, it's still terrifying enough.

boom!
The Fearless mech fired a projectile into the distance, blasting it towards an area with a high density of lasers.

As the bomb exploded, one player's skull immediately went offline, and the health bars of several other skulls turned red, indicating that they had been damaged.

Just as the player who logged off with the skull was still feeling the pinch from their previous expenses, they suddenly discovered that the server skull seemed to be used for more than just shooting!
One of the skulls' mechanical eyes dimmed and fell to the ground, motionless. Several servo skulls nearby gathered around, and then, as if by unspoken agreement, a small welding torch extended from its spine.

With a flurry of welding, the server skull, which had just been shut down, returned to its original state and slowly floated up again. Even the players' computers showed that their skulls had come back online.

The other damaged servo skulls were the same; with each other repairing them, the damage was quickly restored to its original state.

"By the Emperor/Om Messiah! What just happened?"

The servo skull, having completed its repairs, recalled its previous actions and screamed incredulously.

"This is illogical. How did I manage to complete that series of repairs with such a primitive, old-fashioned welding torch? Could it be that this thing contains nanotechnology?"

"Oh no, I suspect I've been corrupted by the Chaos God. This technology looks like it's from the Warp!"

Recalling their previous actions, the servo skulls were stunned.

They didn't know what was going on, they just instinctively ran to repair their teammate, but after they finished repairing him, they realized just how amazing their actions were!
Player: Stop overthinking it. This is the power of the Emperor, understand?
Servo Skull: Oh, if you put it that way, we understand! So it was the Emperor/Om Messiah appearing!
While other players were fiddling with the server skull, one player didn't choose it, but instead turned his attention to the Blue Fear Demon.

Although it looked a bit odd that he was wearing a fanatic skin and recruiting Blue Fear Demons, he was curious to know what was so special about them.

So the player chose to recruit the Blue Fear Demon.

Just as he finished selecting the recruit, a small subspace portal suddenly appeared in front of him, and then a strange, half-human-sized blue imp jumped out of the flames.

"Ah, follower of the Lord of Changes, my summoner, I believe we will get along well from now on..."

The blue-skinned demon recruited by the player was about to give an opening speech, but the next moment, it froze in place as it looked at the surrounding scene.

All around him were soldiers dressed as fanatical imperial followers, their unique halos intertwined, the psionic energy that was both familiar and utterly hated by demons blatantly mixed in.

At the same time, several servo skulls were floating in the sky, all pointing their lasers at themselves.

Wait, what kind of weird place is this?

I've been tricked! The real universe is too terrifying, I need to go back to warp space!
