Chapter 402: Returning Home, It Turns Out to Be You
Chapter 402: Returning Home, It Turns Out to Be You
Caroline reluctantly put on the repaired power armor, and after arriving at the combat command room, she saw the Zakli think tank deploying combat orders.
But before she could feel happy, her heart sank when she saw the other person's missing arm.
"Sister Caroline."
"Zakli Think Tank..."
Zachli noticed the other party's gaze, raised his modified mechanical right hand, and said bitterly:
"It's normal. Some warbands even transform 80% of their flesh and blood. I'm already very lucky."
It's just to find joy in suffering, to maintain the belief in victory, Caroline thought.
"At least 16 orc troops were found within a 34-kilometer radius of the stronghold. Nearly half of the warriors in the stronghold were dispatched."
"The Sixth Military Region just sent a message, saying that everyone should hold on to the base and be called back as soon as possible. We are already short of manpower, so don't waste any more strength."
"The fleet left low-Earth orbit immediately after deploying a million orcs. If the military district's estimate was correct, they may have headed in the direction of Riza."
Colonel Hafali failed to return to the base successfully. Thousands of jungle fighters died in the battle for the temple. Due to the loss of personnel, the workload of the remaining jungle fighters immediately increased.
Coupled with the invasion of the orc group, the number of battles began to become more and more frequent, and the other officers were anxiously discussing the subsequent battle plan.
"The lady who was rescued from the lead coffin... Grave? How is she doing?" The think tank dismissed officers at all levels and inquired.
Caroline took a deep breath and said:
"The situation is not good. The medical level here is not enough to maintain her damaged brain. In the nearby star regions, only Reza can perform such advanced surgery..."
After a pause in his conversation, Zachli also began to frown. According to what the technical priest had said before, these soulless people were all extremely evil people. Doesn't that mean that Rebos and Caroline were the criminals who protected her?
There must be some unknown secrets here, but it is more likely that there is a problem on Riza's side.
"So, do you have time to explain your relationship?"
Caroline also frowned. In fact, her impression of Grave was extremely incomplete. All her memories of the past with her had disappeared. All she could remember was the farewell she received before she left on Terra.
"I don't know more about her past, but one thing is certain, she used to be a member of the Sisters of Silence."
"Sister of Silence?!"
The situation became confusing, and the Zakli Think Tank suddenly thought of the answer. In order to complete the seal of the bronze mirror, Riza actually set his sights on the Sister of Silence.
But the other party is a high-ranking personnel registered in the Empire. It can be said that every soulless person who becomes a Sister of Silence has a status even beyond that of Astartes.
"Then Grave must not show up in Riza. If Riza is really hiding something from us..."
Zachli looked at the wall, where hung a double-headed eagle emblem, one representing the Empire and the other representing the Order.
Everyone knows that the Adeptus Mechanicus is part of the Empire, but not like the Astra Militarum and the Astartes.
"The future is getting blurrier..."
"Then, what should we do next? Isn't it more dangerous for Rebos to stay alone in the orc ship?"
Caroline was anxious but Benson was more anxious than her, but without enough ships, there was no chance to save Rebos.
"There is no better way for now. We can only go to Riza first and prepare for the worst. I suspect that the Order ship in orbit may know the situation of the orcs, but did not tell you and me..."
The Zakli Think Tank pondered for a long time, but in the end, it could only come to this simple conclusion.
At this moment, Benson didn't know whether to say it or not. After all, before leaving Reza, Rebos had warned him about the attitude of the order towards them. They set up a scheme to buy and sell church relics, and the relics carried some unknown secrets.
He was dying.
"Brother, please be okay!"
...
In the center of a fleet consisting of dozens of orc ships, on the huge orc battleship Shrimp Must Die, the fleet's commander-in-chief, the orc warrior Most, was happily devouring mushroom pie.
A dozen fart spirits respectfully carried plates and bowls so that their generals could eat and drink their fill and not be crushed to death by their claws.
"Reporting to General Most, Master Stark said that he has completed the analysis of the object that everyone is fighting for. You can start dismantling it when you arrive." The orc boss of the Blood Axe Clan stepped forward and said excitedly.
Moster showed his thick yellow teeth, and stood up from the throne made of metal and bones with a wheeze. The fart spirits that were standing on him to feed on him immediately flew away.
The orc leaders around him bowed their heads and retreated, leaving a broad road to the research room. Most was very pleased, and he laughed as he watched these tribesmen succumb to his majesty.
And now, his great technical masters are still improving the combat effectiveness of his fleet. He is getting closer and closer to his dream. As long as he steps past Riza, he can march towards Armageddon.
"It's a piece of shit! It's a piece of shit!! What on earth are these shrimps fighting over?"
Moster's voice like a loud bell made Stark in the research laboratory roll his eyes. As his expression changed, his mechanical goggles automatically detached and moved behind his head.
"It's Stark. I've said it 1634 times... I really suspect that the black orc smashed your head."
"Hahahaha, what a piece of shit, my right-hand man. Without Ning, I, Most, would have been a piece of shit. Come on, tell me, what new piece of iron has Ning come up with?!"
Moster said as he embraced the other person. Stark the Great Master was not as tall as Moster. He was just slightly bigger than the average orc boss, and that was because he was wearing a metal armor.
And now, Most and him were playing around like brothers, with clanging sounds and sparks flying everywhere. The guards composed of the orc bosses behind them felt their scalps tingling, fearing that Most would grab them and beat them up. If they didn't die, they would be disabled for a long time.
"alright, alright!"
Stark used the mechanical arm behind him to push away Moster's embrace, stepped forward and pointed at the lead-sealed coffin placed on the orc technology platform and said:
“This thing has an anti-spying function. The outer layer is a lead coffin mixed with black stone fragments. The contents inside need to be opened for more detailed research.
But first of all, remember those strange demonic creatures we encountered when we traveled through the warp space before?"
Moster knocked on the plate armor and said, "Ah... I know where the soul is from. It's Brother Go's territory. I like those ugly things. They fight very hard. Hahahaha!"
Stark knew that the vast majority of orcs did not have the brains he did, so he ignored their stupidity.
“I understand. So there must be some kind of object or creature from the subspace surrounded by these lead coffins, otherwise the two groups of humans would not have gone to such great lengths to seal these things.
So we have to be prepared. The orcs' psychic abilities can also suppress some of the power of the warp. Mobilize your boss's guards to be careful of various situations that may arise."
When Most and the other bosses heard that there was a war to be fought, they immediately smiled happily and rubbed their hands, selecting their weapons and preparing their equipment, determined to kill some boring time traveling through the starry sea.
The orcs were talking in a flurry, vying for the first position to bear the brunt of the attack, with knives and swords ready to kill the enemy with their own hands.
Stark, the master of technology, immediately manipulated the rough control panel, pressed the button with animal teeth, pulled down the pull rod made of animal bones, and stuffed the two strange boys into a certain container.
The power was turned on, and the hydraulic press on the vessel closed. Amid the strange boy's wailing and the sound of bones breaking and crushing, psychic power and electrical energy were simultaneously transmitted to the lead-sealed coffin.
The inscriptions on the outer layer of the lead-sealed coffins were lit up again, and the gravitational force between them was blocked. The mechanical arms dragged the lead coffins backwards, and the sealed objects appeared during the "squeaky" friction.
"Waaaaag..huh?"
Moster's roar of joy turned into doubtful inquiries as the lead coffin was opened, and the beasts gathered to look at the condition of the central seal.
At this moment, the situation on the huge bronze mirror was a bit strange. In addition to nine corpses that seemed to be attached to the mirror, there was also a metal object that looked like a water droplet.
"I...I don't feel well...my head hurts..."
Several strange guys around said this in pain, and after they finished speaking, the other orcs who heard this also felt uncomfortable.
The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In the end, except for Stark and Most, all the orcs were covering some part of their body and grimacing.
“I originally thought that the human order led us to the Horror Planet to take advantage of the orcs’ greed and hide hidden dangers in this seal, but now it seems that there may be a big discrepancy between their plans.
Presumably, the two human forces are also fighting for this item from the subspace, after all, these utensils and mechanical equipment have the logos of both parties. However.. I still don't understand why they attracted us here...
Is it to prevent delaying their forging world in the first place? Moster... Stop! "
Just as Master Stark was muttering to himself, thinking that this matter was beyond the ability of the orcs' brains to handle, the big fool Most had already reached out and picked up the teardrop-shaped metal object.
"Ah? What's the matter? Which Oak can understand what Ning said? Even Blood Axe Boss, who has been in contact with Xiami for a long time, can't understand it.
"Who cares? This thing is pretty shiny. Make me a helmet. Hehehe, this way, everyone who sees the shiny thing will be able to recognize me as Moster."
Most was grinning foolishly, but Stark wanted to kill him with a power fist.
"Fool! Who can make their head glow? The head is already big... I'm so angry. I told you not to touch it!"
"Boss Most, I...I know. I learned about it from some people. These people are called soulless ones. They have a strong suppressive effect on the soul's hometown. Those ugly guys are very afraid of these things!" The boss of the Blood Axe Clan said painfully.
"Yes..."
Most turned a deaf ear to Stark's advice. Maybe because he was impressed by his own handsome face, he just kept grinning at the reflective metal object in his hand.
Stark cursed inwardly twice and stepped forward to grab the unknown metal object.
At this moment, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the metal object, and then it suddenly exploded before the beasts could react.
Like a pine cone that had matured in time, dozens of metal levers directly pried open Moster's claws, and in the silvery gap, Rebos' frowning face appeared.
"Huh?! Waaaaaagh!!!"
Seeing the sudden change, Most immediately roared in anger, and then the hydraulic sonata claws closed.
"when!"
The sound of metal hitting iron and stone was endless, but the claws failed to split Rebos in two. The opponent Yaozi turned over and broke free from the restraints. As she turned over, her hands threw out two nerve paralysis grenades from the dimensional space.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Two clouds of metallic dust exploded instantly, and then paralyzing electric currents crackled and jumped, causing a chain reaction among the beasts and disrupting their organs.
Stark, the great master of technology, was horrified when he saw the figure gradually getting bigger in the air. The opponent's technological level was definitely not beyond his ability.
Body control, activated metal, dimensional space, he wants to dissect the other party to obtain more advanced technology.
"Buzz! Buzz! Zizz! Zizz!"
The metal circular saw roared and cut, the laser cutter buzzed, sparks and light appeared at the same time, the silver round shield blocked the attack, and in the middle of it, Reboss opened the opponent's mechanical arm.
"Oops!"
Silver light exploded, and the nano armor formed into sharp knives, stabbing directly into Stark's neck, causing the opponent to howl in pain.
"what!!!"
"All Orcs, don't move!"
Rebos roared and pushed the sword in his hand another inch deeper. As an absolutely precious master of skills, the opponent's cry of pain did make the orcs who reacted fearful.
他持刀蹲伏着,不断通过自己的设备扫描周围的情况,2点钟方向4个、10点钟二楼4个,身后看台5个、4点钟怪小子3个。
7 orc bosses of the guard team, and the most difficult orc warrior in front of them...
Rebos was thinking about how to escape, and calculating which directions would have the highest success rate. But when he saw Moster with a strange and puzzled expression in front of him, his expression also became a little unnatural.
"Ah?! It's you! Linheng!!!"
Moster's constipated expression finally changed. He suddenly remembered the other person's identity and smiled happily.
"Hmm? Who are you?"
"Ahhhh! Let him let me go first!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you kid, let go of my master first, and I won't attack you."
Moster did what he said. When there were a few orc bosses who couldn't hold back and wanted to move forward, he used his claws to beat them until their skin was torn and flesh was exposed. He also roared to stop those guys who were holding guns and cannons.
But Rebos did not give up the opportunity he had fought so hard for. He asked Stark to stand up, used the other's body as a barrier, and slowly walked towards the wall.
"Ahem... Boss Most, do you know this guy?" Stark asked with great pain.
"Hahaha, I forgot. On... um... what planet was it... that place where a black orc hit me with a hammer and flew away. Didn't I also bombard it with a dimensional teleportation cannon?"
Moster laughed heartily, and the claws opened and closed with a "dong dong" sound, without any sense of deception at all.
"Oh! Now I remember, isn't this the human you kept talking about that Gogo and Maoge wanted to capture?"
"Hahahaha, it's it! I've encountered it twice, and both times it made me stronger. This is the third time, and it looks like I can get stronger again!"
Although Rebos's converter allowed him to understand what the other party was saying, and he shouldn't be distracted at all now, the content made him realize that the other party had experienced this with him many times.
But if it was true, why did he instantly have a flashback when he met Grave, but not when he faced them...
"Negative psychic energy..."
