Warhammer: Rebuilding the Golden Age Starting with Farming

Chapter 142 Andy: Should I fight too?

"Sizzle!!"

Particle beams from fifty standard Golden Age floating cannons.

They converged into an absolute high-energy singularity, pressing against the gap in the head armor of the "Yindi Megastructure" on the left.

Matter disintegrates rapidly under high-energy scouring.

The special bony shell, capable of absorbing radar waves and light, finally reached its heat capacity limit under continuous energy infusion.

"Click."

A crisp sound that could be heard throughout the entire trade zone.

The biomagnetic field generator in the head of the megastructure overloaded, and the force field that maintained the internal structure dissipated instantly.

This colossal creature, several kilometers long, lost its grip on the Kolumbek Dome, and gravity took over.

It started to slide down.

Tens of millions of tons of bones and biological tissues fell toward the ground along the sloping arc of the metal dome.

The Reiss troops on the ground were pressing the Twilight's defenses in urban warfare, taking advantage of the darkness overhead to fight with great success.

With their biological senses, they simply couldn't predict how the "sky" above them, which had always provided shelter, would suddenly collapse.

"BOOM!!!"

The massive object landed.

The entire foundation of Kolumbek shook.

The massive structure of Yindi crashed directly into the dense cluster of buildings.

The thousands of Reis warriors directly below the point of impact were crushed into Reis mincemeat before they could even scream.

The sunlight came in.

Harsh ultraviolet rays shone down on the street through the huge opening in the dome.

Those Reiss people exposed to the sun began to smoke from their skin, and their epidermal tissue rapidly necrotized and peeled off.

The previously well-organized offensive collapsed instantly.

"A good opportunity."

Ai Qi stood on the command platform, her pupils slightly contracting.

She did not order an attack on the other colossal structure still perched on the dome, nor did she attempt to finish off the one that had fallen.

As a shrewd warlord, she knew very well what the optimal solution was.

Beat a dog when it's down.

"All floating cannons, turn your guns around and press downwards."

"The infantry will launch a full-scale counterattack and wipe out those insects that have been stunned by the sun."

The instruction has been issued.

Fifty floating cannons drew golden arcs in the air and sank rapidly.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle"

Dense beams of particle energy began to sweep across the streets.

Deprived of the cover of shadows and continuously scorched by the sun, the Reiss fell in droves under the precise targeting of the floating cannons.

The situation has been completely reversed; it was a one-sided massacre.

Even though another colossal structure in the underworld was still trying to maintain darkness in half of the area, the battle was already beyond saving.

The morale of the Reiss people did not collapse, but their physiological functions did.

The top floor of an office building in the core area of ​​Kolumbek.

Reagan Lazarus was lying on the rooftop, holding a communicator in one hand and binoculars in the other, his mouth agape.

"Boss—Boss, did you see that?"

Reagan's voice was trembling, not from fear, but from excitement.

"This...this is fucking surreal!"

"On one side are the high-tech floating cannons of the Golden Age, firing away with their bullet-bullet ...

"On one side are primitive aliens wielding bone scythes, steaming in the sun."

"And then there was a giant centipede, several kilometers long, lying in the middle—"

"I've never seen such an outrageous battle in my entire life!"

Andy, far away in Horisonburg, was also sitting in his studio, watching the live broadcast.

Although the image is a bit shaky, the clarity is sufficient.

"Indeed—it's pretty outrageous."

Andy commented.

Scenes of high-tech fighting primitive creatures are not uncommon in the Warhammer universe.

But this pure clash of art styles still gives people a sense of absurd realism.

He had been pondering what treasure Ai Xi had unearthed on the western front that would make her willing to confront Odin Fortress head-on.

The case is solved now; it turns out it was this thing—a standard drone!

Authentic craftsmanship from the golden age.

Although it was far from being a world-destroying artifact in that era, it would be far beyond what is considered powerful today.

In particular, its energy lens, as recorded in the STC database, is made from a metamaterial called "resonance crystal," which is incredibly efficient in energy splitting and conversion, capable of making a simple beam of particles work in amazing ways.

Not to mention it must have been filled with super semiconductors, which are now extinct; even tech enthusiasts haven't found many.

Although considering that level of packaging technology, once it's disassembled, it's highly likely it can't be put back together.

But that didn't stop him from craving the little gadget. Just thinking about how it felt and how it looked made him feel incredibly happy.

"?" Andy suddenly pointed at the screen. "Are they going to run away?"

The moment Andy finished speaking.

A piercing, ear-piercing scream echoed across the entire battlefield.

It's a retreat signal!

The surviving Reiss on the ground immediately halted their suicidal charge.

Without any hesitation, they turned and ran.

But they didn't scatter and flee; instead, they had a clear goal.

The colossal structure of Yindi, still perched on the dome, began to descend, and several massive bone plates on its abdomen slowly slid open, revealing entrances to deep chambers.

The large centipede that fell to the ground, though badly injured, was not completely dead.

Its belly hatch was also opened.

Countless Reis warriors and engineers filed in and crawled into the bellies of the two giant beasts.

Even under the bombardment of the floating cannons, their retreat was still orderly, without any crowding or trampling.

A few minutes later.

All the Reissians have disappeared.

"Waaah"

The giant creature on the dome loosened its claws and slowly descended to the ground, reuniting with its injured companion.

Then, the two enormous creatures activated their biological propulsion system, and the arthropods on their abdomens began to paddle rapidly.

They smashed through the rubble blocking their path, moved rapidly northeast, and soon disappeared into the shadows on the edge of Kolembik.

"Waaaaah!!"

The "Twilight" blew its long, deep whistle.

This is a declaration of victory and a assertion of sovereignty to the entire trade zone.

Inside the bridge command room.

Aiqi snatched off her black beret and tossed it onto the control panel.

Instead of a victor's smile, she leaned back heavily in her chair, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

That battle just now was actually very close.

If the megastructure isn't destroyed, and her floating cannons run out of energy, she might be the one to lose in the end.

Moreover, Ai Qi was very clear about this.

She did not win.

Although the two massive structures in the underworld were damaged, their cores were not destroyed.

Although most of the thousands of Reis warriors were killed, the main force remained.

They can make a comeback at any time if they go back and tidy up.

"This feud has become huge."

Ai Xi muttered to herself.

She glanced at the two huge red dots on the radar that were moving away.

"adjutant."

"exist."

"Have the 'Yaoguang' follow."

Aiqi issued the order.

"Maintain a distance of more than 20 kilometers, conduct only passive radar tracking, do not engage in firefights, and do not expose yourself."

"I need to know exactly where their lair is and what they're planning to do next."

"The remaining troops, rest and regroup on the spot."

"It just so happens that this is Kolumbik, which has complete facilities."

"Have the engineering teams start repairing the damaged vehicles immediately and reconnect the supply lines."

Top floor of an office building.

Reagan swallowed hard, watching the two giant beasts disappear into the distance.

He picked up the communicator again.

"Boss————"

"They're gone."

"The direction is northeast, and we've been heading northeast."

Hollisenberg, studio.

Andy did not respond to the call immediately.

He turned his gaze to the holographic map in front of him.

"Northeast direction ————"

Andy drew a red line on the map with his finger.

This line starts from Kolumbik and extends northeastwards, pointing straight to ————

Horisonburg.

Andy immediately retrieved the scanning data about the internal ecology of the space well from the previous reconnaissance mission.

At that time, they discovered a Reissian society with a population of several thousand and a complete industrial system inside the space well.

meeting.

Andy didn't touch them at the time because he felt that as long as they didn't come up and cause trouble, he wouldn't bother going down to clean them up.

After all, that's their stronghold, easy to defend and difficult to attack. We need to have Gundam first before we can make a move.

But now, things are getting increasingly wrong.

Why did the Reiss army, which had been decimated by Aixi, insist on running northeast?

Escape?

In that desolate wasteland, what difference does it make which way you run? Can't you just turn back and go back to your hometown?

Why the Northeast in particular?

Unless—there's someone there to meet you.

Andy's core logic begins to construct a disturbing model.

The Reiss are not a bunch of lowly beasts; they have a society and classes, so why can't they have intertribal connections?

For example, the sand dune vein is occupied by a "mining clan," while the space well is occupied by another "industrial clan."

They know each other, and may even have an alliance.

Now that their brothers outside have been beaten and their homes demolished, their first reaction is to seek refuge with relatives.

These remnants of the army wanted to take those two behemoths into the space silo to rest and recuperate!

broken.

If it's just a few thousand infantrymen running over, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Besides, the Reiss were not capable of marching on foot.

But the problem is those two giant centipedes, which are several kilometers long and as large as a mountain range.

Something of this size, if it were to force its way into Horrisonsburg—

How many buildings would that destroy for Andy?!

That's not even the worst part!

The most critical issue is that once they're let in, it becomes a confluence.

With the two forces merging into one, and the arrival of strategic units like the giant centipede, the strength of the Reis people beneath the space well will instantly surge.

They would rely on that underground fortress to build a stronger defense, and might even use it as a springboard to launch a counterattack on the surface.

At that time, that space well will no longer be the "future starship factory" that Andy planned.

That was a powder keg right next to his pillow, ready to explode at any moment!

How can I tolerate someone else snoring beside my bed?!

Andy originally just wanted to watch the show, to see Aiqi fight the alien, and even if he didn't get anything, he could at least have some peace and quiet.

What's the result now?

The war has come right to our doorstep!

Once they successfully reunite and finish their regrouping, who will these aliens attack next?

It must be Deep Space Industries, which is the closest one!

This is no longer a question of whether or not it can be tolerated.

Horisonburg is a legacy of the Golden Age, and Andy will absolutely not allow the Reissians to turn it into their backyard!

The red arrow on the map is still moving slowly, getting closer and closer to the warning zone around Horisonburg.

Andy took a deep breath, and all his wishful thinking vanished at that moment.

There's no escaping it now!

He had to stop those big guys before they crawled into Horisonburg!

Andy couldn't help but yell, "Geneva, am I supposed to fight too?!"
