Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 98

  Chapter 98 End Yan Era: Battle of the Mountain Array (Part 2)

  The Imperial Fist is the best defensive battle group humans are good at, huh? You asked why they were crushed by Chaos before that, because the reason is simple, no one expected to be teleported in the orbit of Terra, and since the Beast Wars, no enemy of the Empire has been able to approach Terra's orbit.

The entire solar star field is almost a giant defense line built around Terra. There are countless galaxy defense belts with astronomical scales as the unit. The huge Imperial Navy fleet cruises between various planets and galaxies. Numerical early warning radar stations, space fortresses and astral army barracks.

   It can be said that the entire periphery of the solar system is an iron barrel, and near the Mandeville point of the solar system itself, it has also been strengthened by terror after the Beast War and the Horus Rebellion.

A full circle of automatic fire stations set up by the Martian Mechanicus is deployed around the entire jump point. The most loyal, powerful and elite solar system fleet guards the outer space of Terra. All traitors and enemies were wiped out.

   Besides, there is an ancient rule of the Empire that any fleet entering the solar system must be disarmed unless it is allowed, and any ships capable of orbital attack are forbidden to go near Terra.

   There are only two forces that can keep armed in the sky above Terra. Terra itself is most loyal to the powerful Terra Star Realm Legion. They are also generally known as the Guards outside the palace.

  The entire legion was born out of the Sun Auxiliary Army. They control Terra's orbital weapon platform, ground-based anti-aircraft firepower, and barracks and positions all over the continent. In orbit, they also have a combat moon platform built on the entire moon.

The other armed force is the Imperial Fist. Their Shanzhen and battle group fleet are the only ones that can sail freely over Terra and have destructive firepower, but it is also the one that has survived for ten thousand years. The glory and peace since then have made the Imperial Fists neglect their defenses.

The entire battle group will no longer simply guard Terra. After the Beast War, the normal state of the Imperial Fist is that most companies go out to join endless wars across the galaxy, leaving only a small number of recruits on the mountain formation for training. And some veterans in charge of training.

   And this has also become the biggest weakness of the Shanzhen, a huge weakness that will be exposed if Chaos can find a way to enter the Shanzhen.

   But Chaos ignored one point. If the Sons of Dorne stood firm and seized any opportunity to reorganize their defenses, then this small garrison could also use the defense system of the mountain array itself to become an invincible eternal front.

   Now, that's it.

The Sons of Dorne built a position outside the Steel Gate leading to the bridge. They skillfully activated the existing defense system. The automatic cannon and honeycomb missile system were activated, and the terrifying firepower bombarded the attacking demon army. Among them, the flames of the explosion and the wreckage of the collapsed flesh and blood flew around like splashes of water.

  In front of the Iron Gate, the Imperial Fist fighters built this solid position with large bulletproof shields, mobile walls, and modular shooting positions. The Imperial Skyhawk was illuminated by gunfire outside the battle wall, and the golden light continued to shine.

Over Aquila's head the Imperial Fist fighters are firing with bolters, a whole platoon of mixed recruits and veterans are stationed here, none of them from the same company, recruits from the 7th company, veterans from the 3rd company The soldiers of the permanent half-company stationed in the mountain array are all assembled here.

The last order they got was to defend the bridge at all costs, because as long as the bridge does not fall, the Shanzheng will not stick to it. Even if most of the fortress is eventually occupied by Chaos, the self-destruct system of the Shanzheng can be activated here to overload The reactor blows up the fortified monastery.

  Even if it turns into a broken wreck in the void, forever disappearing from the sight of the emperor and the people of the empire, the Mountain Array will never fall into the hands of traitors!

With the position as the core, the sons of Dorne used heavy bolters, large-caliber shotguns, plasma cannons, hot melt guns and other weapons to build this destructive position. They will turn this place into a grave, the grave of traitors .

  The yellow-robed veterans of the Fist of the Empire opened fire with their bolt machine guns, blasting into the enemy line one after another, smashing the traitors into pieces.

And beside the veteran, there are mortal soldiers fighting side by side with him. The survivors of the mortal auxiliary army on the Mountain Array are also gathered here. They form a whole company of defense forces here to fully cooperate and support Dorn. The sons stand firm.

Laser guns and erected bolt machine guns fired from behind the shooting slots, and the colorful gunfire illuminated the entire dark space in front of the gate. Even though the power supply system had been cut off, the bright gunfire illuminated the place brighter than before. Bright.

The demons launched a swift attack on the position, the **** artillery of Khorne demons and the explosive bombs of the traitors bombarded the baffles of the position, countless steel fragments splashed in the air and fell to the ground, and the golden skull symbol symbolizing loyalty and emperor was smashed into pieces , almost all the sunken carvings were destroyed, as if the silent countdown to the destruction of the defenders was coming.

   But even if the Emperor's Light has disappeared long ago, they will not surrender, they will fight to the death, because they are the blood of Rogg Dorn! They are the Imperial Fists!

"For the Emperor!" The mortal soldier shouted and stood up from behind the shield. He pulled the trigger of the bazooka on his shoulder, and the rockets with tail flames roared out and the shooter was also hit by a blast kill.

  The rocket glides through the air, and one shot destroyed the Khorne demon artillery in the distance with incomparable precision. The small demon engine quickly overloaded and exploded, spewing blood and raging fire, engulfing the surrounding demons and traitors.

The Master Chief looked at the **** mortal soldiers, and he turned around and shot the Khorne Hound that climbed up to the position. The Master Chief kept pulling the trigger, and the airflow from the muzzle of the bolter caused the cockscomb helmet on his head to bounce back and forth with the shock wave. Rock back and forth.

His combat brothers on both sides of the Master Chief are still orderly defensive counterattacks. The multifunctional automatic guns sliding out of the wall above their heads are providing fire support. enemy sea.

The sergeant saw the ammunition perforated, he pressed the side switch on the bolter and the magazine slid off quickly, the sergeant took a new clip from his belt but when he was about to reload he started to step on the top of the position of Khorne demons.

The Khorne demon with wings and a face between a wolf and a bat growled and raised its claws. The Master Chief immediately inserted the clip into the bolter, but he had not had time to raise the monster's head in front of the gun. It was smashed to pieces, to be precise, the whole body was beaten into a hornet's nest.

The monster fell backwards, and at the same time as the monster fell to the ground, countless tall figures fell into the trench. The Master Chief looked at the newly arrived brothers. They did not wait for orders but immediately joined the defense In battle.

   But only the Master Chief, who waited for new orders, because his company commander was in front of him now.

  The Master Chief knelt on one knee and bowed his head to Captain Galadon, "Please allow me to report to the company commander that our department is holding on to the position leading to the bridge. The position is still under control, but please listen to my advice."

"I request to activate the self-destruct system and detonate the mountain array to complete our mission." The Master Chief calmly stated his suggestion, but in other warbands, I am afraid that when I say this to the company commander, I will tremble three times in my heart. After all, you suggested blowing up the entire Chapter's old home, and all the relics in it.

  But the sons of Dorne will not be afraid, they will faithfully perform their duties, and will gladly accept the punishment it may bring, even the punishment of death.

"I can listen to your request, but I have to reject the non-commissioned officer, because I have brought other missions." Captain Galadon said sharply like a majestic iron statue, he turned his head to signal the non-commissioned officer to look at Vito and his party beside him , the judge waved to the sergeant jokingly. Of course, he also knew that the son of Dorn would not respond to such an informal greeting.

"Inquisitor Vito Constantine has brought reinforcements, and Lord Celestine, the Living Saint, has brought the Emperor's Light back among us! The fate of the Mountain Formation is not over Sergeant, and she will continue to serve the Emperor with us." Fight on! Until the Emperor calls us!"

   Galadon clenched his iron fist and roared loudly, loud enough to overwhelm all artillery fire for everyone to hear.

   "I, Thor Galadon! The commander of the third company, in the name of Roger Dorn, I order you to live! Stand firm! This is your mission!"

  Galadon held up his bolt fist, and he roared like thunder, "By Primarch! For the glory of you and the Lord of Earth!"

   "For the Emperor! For Dorne!" shouted the surrounding warriors, and the steel wall would now be so strong that it could not be destroyed.

  Galadon turned his head and nodded to Vito affirmatively, "Go, Judge, I will stand firm here with my brothers and buy you time."

   Captain Galadon said as he turned around and roared, raised his bolt fist and joined the battle. The Master Chief also got up and pulled the bolt of his bolt pistol and strode past Vito to join his brothers in the battle.

  Vito looked at the gunfire that almost engulfed everything around him, and his ears were engulfed by the deafening gunfire. Fortunately, his ears would not be deafened by these noises, nor would he suffer from serious hearing loss and other negative effects.

  Vito looked at Celestine and smiled awkwardly. He touched his chin, "Master Living Saint, please help guard here, ah, I'll go back as soon as I go!"

   Celestine smiled disdainfully, then glanced at Lilith standing behind Vito covered in blood, holding a knife and staring at Vito with murderous eyes.

  The little angel rolled her eyes and smiled mockingly. She waved her hands and turned to the battlefield, "Alright, let that **** go with you."

   "Chicken for nothing." Lilith cursed in a low voice, and she met Vito's eyes full of murderous intent. The latter shuddered and immediately ran towards the Iron Gate. Lilith also rolled her eyes and followed.

  The gate of the bridge opened to both sides, and Vito hurriedly rushed into the bridge of the mountain formation. This is a huge semi-circular space, and its operating position is unique from other naval ships and spaces of the empire.

  Most of its operating positions, such as the fire control system, radar, and weapons array waiting facilities, are located below the two sides of an iron bridge. The Thinker Servitors are connected to the recessed control positions in the long row.

The surrounding system control units on both sides and rear of the circular platform are also connected to the thinker servants. These servants are as cold and dead as corpses, and they are full of cables, and their data guidance At the end of the center of the bridge hall, there is a master control servitor placed on a cylindrical computing array.

  The servant was quietly embedded in the cylindrical steel structure, and countless indicator lights and data hard disks were inserted into the cylinder, while a circle of control platforms and holographic displays surrounded it.

  Vito rushed in front of the main control servitor, he quickly clicked and tried to activate the response unit of the servitor, according to the display of the holographic instrument, the system of the servitor was damaged, and it can only be reactivated after a slow overhaul.

   But looking at the **** progress bar, the progress of this **** thing is as **** as fast as the approval of a document in the Ministry of Government Affairs.

"What the **** did they change the mountain array into? This is a golden age battle fortress! They changed the system into something **** for me!" Vito cursed and kicked the control platform, Lilith stood Behind him, he lightly poked the wrinkled skin on the bone with the tip of the knife.

"So what should we do?" asked the Succubus Queen, Vito sighed and rubbed his neck, "Theoretically, I can bypass the Thinker system and directly activate the engine and the entire system of the Mountain Formation, I guess the **** of the Mechanicus The sticks don't know how to really strip away the golden age system."

Lilith shrugged slightly and patted the shriveled thigh of the Servant with a jackknife, and looked at the metal box covering his crotch, "Boring, but if I remember correctly, if you want to bypass the Thinker system, you need In the astronomical system library, to screen and calculate a one-in-billion program loophole, it is necessary to perfectly avoid the data trap set by the Mechanicus, right?"

"That's right." Vito said as he walked towards the bridge glass that was lit up by the brilliant light of the subspace and the gunfire outside. Lilith turned her head and watched him raise her eyebrows slightly, "Honey, your brain...how should I say it?" , IQ can't be considered low, it can't be considered high."

"I know what you mean, so it's not me who wants to do this job." Vito said with a smile when he walked to the bridge glass, he watched the extravagant subspace naval battle outside, the Infinite Frontier and the Absolute Truth were going on Maneuvering in parallel, they widened the distance from the Chaos Fleet with a large circle.

  He fought against the entire Chaos fleet with a battlecruiser and a cruiser.

   Cole is indeed still one of the best captains of the Imperial Navy, and even Speyer probably won't do better than him here.

  Vito tore off the lower cover of the data panel in front of him, and a data interface appeared on it. Vito took out the display disk from his arms and inserted it into the circular connector that suddenly opened on the skin of his right arm.

A data socket popped out from the end of his palm, and then Vito slammed his palm on the interface of the data panel. The data socket on his palm was inserted into the interface, and almost immediately the entire bridge lit up, all kinds of The instruments began to roar, but none of the servants responded.

  Helen appeared on the holographic projection on the operating table. The cold-faced girl with short hair looked at Vito with his hands behind his back, and lines of data luster slid across his skin-like tights.

   "Honey, activate the mountain array, calculate quickly" "Complete the calculation."

  Helen said with a blank face, Vito looked at her and laughed, not knowing what he was urging her to do, it might not even take a second for her to break through this garbage system.

  She was built to control and command the entire automatic fleet and intelligent legion, or directly take over the entire planet-level orbital defense platform.

In the golden age, people called her this kind of AI "all-intelligent war artificial intelligence". A little accident?

   Iron Rebellion or something, yes.

   But for Vito, she is a little data girl with a perpetually paralyzed face, a poisonous tongue but a cold face and a warm heart.

   "Takeover the system?" "OK"

  Helen's eyes flashed countless streams of data, short and dense, she closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them again.

   "The background program of the Mountain Array has been activated, and the instructions covered by the Mechanicus have been blocked by me. The Mountain Array has been taken over, and all systems are online. Command, sir."

  Helen said coldly and looked at Vito, and Lilith also came up and put it on Vito's shoulder and looked at the Miss Data in front of him, "Hello, Helen, long time no see."

"Hello, Lilith, but I don't think this is the time to exchange pleasantries, Commander." Helen looked at Vito indifferently and asked, who smiled and shook his head slightly, then raised his eyes to look at the Chaos Fleet outside. Killingly laughed.

   "Fire." "Yes, sir."

Following Helen's thoughts, the entire mountain array began to function like a part of her body, and the weapon system of the entire fortress became an extension of her body, and its data consciousness covered and controlled all the weapon arrays at an extremely fast speed. .

  The silent macro gun began to turn slowly under the action of the transmission structure, rows of naval guns began to raise their barrels, the array of light spears protruded from the protective cover, and the shining energy field flickered at the spearheads.

  The dense array of weapons built in the fortress buildings on the mountain array has completed its preparations, and they aimed at the Chaos Fleet.

   They fired, almost instantaneously, thousands of naval guns, missile launchers, torpedo tubes, lance arrays and countless weapons large and small, with a synchronicity never seen before.

  A series of weapons quickly weaved a precise firepower network, and hit the devastating artillery fire on the Chaos fleet. They obviously didn't expect to be attacked, and countless warships exploded and disintegrated under the dense fire network of the mountain array in an instant.

  The shattered shield of the light spear, the broken body of the macro cannon, all the firepower cooperates like a whole will, but in fact they are indeed the incarnation of a will, the incarnation of Helen.

  War artificial intelligence precisely mobilized all the firepower, she watched the warships that exploded and disintegrated one by one with a blank face, and Vito also looked at the disintegrated chaos warships behind him, watching the firepower projected on them.

  Glorious light projected on his face, and now Vito remembered it, and he recalled why human beings suffered so heavy losses in the Iron Man Rebellion, and fell into the dark age after the war.

  The proof of all this is right before your eyes, in this little Fingergirl.
