Chapter 295 The Rise of the Primarch: Heavenly Blade Fortress

Judgment Day-level battle fortress - Sky Blade, this big guy was born during the human-elin war, it is definitely the largest space vehicle ever built by human beings, yes, there is no one, this deep space fortress's The volume is even larger than the Yamajin, because it is designed to be a mobile star port.

It's too polite to call it a star port. It should be called a battle satellite. Compared with the later Yamajin and the battle moon during the Beast War, they are completely two toys made of broken copper and iron. Well, the orc one might actually be made of scrap metal.

But Sky Blade, its firepower almost surpasses the limit of almost all artificial aircraft in the history of the entire galaxy. Perhaps only the Necromancer's battle world fortress can fight with it for two rounds. For the rest, it is probably the first moment when it encounters it. will explode into shards flying around the galaxy,

When the Federation designed it, it was intended to make this big guy the core main force of the human fleet, and the giant sky-blade fortresses, accompanied by a whole war fleet through teleportation technology, directly rush into the Spirit Race for long distances. The core of the empire completely destroyed the homeworld and virgin world of the Eldar.

This fleet does not need berthing and supplies, because the Skyblade Fortress itself can maintain everything they need, whether it is people or weapons.

Its huge physique is enough to allow the entire fleet, those tens of kilometers long giant ships to dock, maintain and supply in the docks and docks around it, and can provide a mobile base for rest, mooring and stationing for the entire fleet ,
In addition, it can also carry hundreds of thousands or even millions of operators, naval sailors, marines, logistics and command personnel. It is a mobile city floating in the universe, not only As a fortress, it is the real home of its members.

Inside the huge fortress armor are modular areas, living quarters, recreational areas, military training and command, production and industrial farms are all included, and when you step on it, you can hardly see it. Requires any contact with the outside world.

Under its hard armor and equipped with an excellent adaptive energy shield, there is an entire intelligent production system of automatic production. The Federation has implanted a considerable number of standard templates of weapons and equipment into its system, which makes the sky Blade Fortress can self-produce almost all the weapons and equipment that humans have with the raw materials, and even those that do not have it can be produced immediately after the technical research is established.

The Sky Blade is equipped with the entire golden age of mankind, almost all the weapons and equipment you can think of, and even those star-annihilation weapons that can destroy the entire planet in one shot. The fully automated weapon array and intelligent control system can make these assemble the entire The weapons of the planetary volume fortress are efficient, accurate and thorough in unleashing their full devastating firepower.

And its operating system is completely implanted with the core system of excellent artificial intelligence, which makes this planet-sized fortress can actually operate completely without no one, from teleportation, to attack, and all The daily operation, maintenance and production can be fully automated.

In the original plan of mankind, the Sky Blade was the core of the demolition team at the Galaxy level. This battle fortress will transmit the entire fortress into the battlefield through the giant teleportation engine it carries, and rely on its powerful firepower to completely destroy the fleet and the fleet of the Eldar. After the planetary orbital weapon, it will use the annihilating star weapon it carries to completely blow the homeworld of the Eldar into shattered wreckage, and carry out the doomsday judgment on the Eldar, so it is also named Judgment Day.

The Federation originally planned to use the Sky Blade to annihilate, destroy and disintegrate the war potential of the Spirit Race, but it was not so easy to penetrate the weapon defense line of the Spirit Race Empire at its peak, so the exaggerated weapons and equipment of the Sky Blade, as well as the shield The cost of system production and manufacturing is almost astronomical, and the time to build such a planet-level fortress has far exceeded expectations.

And its project was established at the end of the war itself. Therefore, during the entire human-eldar war, Skyblade Fortress did not participate in any war. When it finally was in the long and patiently exhausting After the construction process was over, when the super-reactor core really ignited, the battle of the Iron Rain was over, and the long war between humans and the Eldar finally came to an end.

This huge, astronomical fortress was born out of time, and soon because of the end of the war, the council cut off the production plan to manufacture the follow-up Skyblade Fortress, so this fortress became the only one in the entire series. A finished product, an orphan, an orphan destined to be forgotten.

But in the end, history has proved that it will not be forgotten. The history of mankind is often ironic. The powerful weapons created by mankind are often not aimed at their enemies in the end, or, in other words, when those who were supposed to rely on these weapons to be eliminated After the enemy is eliminated, mankind will once again go through the cycle of history, turning these terrible weapons against each other.

During the Outer Ring Rebellion, the Federation army, which was severely injured in the Human-Elder War, put this powerful war fort into the war to suppress the Outer Ring Rebellion. This fortress did play a considerable role in serving the Federation Many key planets and nodes have been laid.

And its intelligent part has also been strengthened and used more. With the sharp reduction of the population of the entire federation after the war, the army has equipped more intelligent systems and combat robots with the Sky Blade. This fully automated The killing fortress finally reached its peak.

The federal army, after the rebels in the outer ring were eliminated, used the Sky Blade Fortress to be fully automated in the outer ring, and the low-cost deterrence and mobile repression firepower platform, through terrible power to deter the entire outer ring. the rebels.

But the irony is that when humans strengthened, polished and tempered it into an unparalleled weapon of war, the Iron Man rebellion broke out. With the wave of rebellion set off by Red Helen, a large number of intelligent iron men were created by humans. Smart weapons used to kill each other, turned their guns on their masters.

In fact, the Iron Man Rebellion did not actually violate the purpose for which these robots and intelligence were produced, because they were originally produced and used as a product of the civil war between humans and humans. The purpose of their appearance was to obey a group of humans and go to Just slaughter another group, as with all human weapons.

And ironically, the Iron Man side of the Iron Man Rebellion is actually not entirely composed of intelligent Iron Man. Some of the aliens who used to be attached to humans, serving as servant races for a long time, have also joined in. Iron Man's camp.

Most of them are the same as the common people in the outer ring area, who have been oppressed within the human federation for a long time. Those disaffected alien members who live as second-class citizens have long been dissatisfied with the federation.

Before the Iron Man Rebellion, after the human beings were severely injured in the war with the Eldar, they launched their own riots and uprisings, trying to split from the Federation, and each time they were suppressed by the Federation army. To be precise, it was Use the iron men to help suppress it.

So when the Iron Man Rebellion began, Red Helen invited these dissidents who were dissatisfied with the Confederacy to join her own rebel army, promising them that they would gain independence after the war.

So they naturally accepted, although they may not think too much, is this a lie, or in other words, they have no choice, if the Iron Man war is over, human beings will only squeeze themselves more cruelly, To replace the labor position in the Iron Man vacancy.

As a result, more than a dozen human servant races became rebels overnight. Later, there were some servant army races that were ruthlessly abandoned to humans after the Eldar Empire shrunk back to the mainland, in order to avoid human revenge after the war. And Slaughter, also chose to join the rebellion.

They had no choice. During the war, they had committed so many crimes for the Eldar that it was a bloody feud, and they were completely unable to negotiate with humans. In order to survive, they could only choose to join the Iron Man rebels.

Therefore, the Iron Man Rebellion is not a simple, ruthless robot war against humans in the Terminator movies, but a race war between the galaxy, a war for survival, and a war against oppression, whatever you want to call it.

So when the Iron Man Rebellion began, the Iron Man in the hands of the Federation and the Outer Ring Rebels "united" and aimed their weapons at each other's masters, and ironically, with the beginning of the Iron Man Rebellion, the originally torn apart Instead, humans suddenly came to a consensus, formed alliances and cooperated with each other.

The federal army and the outer ring rebels reached a peace treaty almost instantly, and the divided mankind united again under the common threat to form a unified front against the iron man and the rebel army. Ironic, isn't it?Since the final result of the Iron Man's rebellion was to bring about the great unification of human society, it was at least temporarily.

Under the crisis of life and death, human beings once again faced the crisis situation of the Eldar war, all contradictions were shelved, all the old and new hatreds between all planets and political groups were all thrown away, and human beings operated again with high efficiency Rise up against those weapons that were originally their own.

The Skyblade Fortress has become the core of the military power of those rebellious iron people. The red Helen stole and seized this fully intelligent fortress as her own vehicle and moving body. She drove this fortress to attack everywhere. , poured the destructive firepower that humans originally designed to deal with the Eldar to humans themselves.

Red Helen used the Skyblade Fortress to severely damage and destroy the main naval forces of the Federation, and attacked the core solar system of the Federation. A large number of human colonies and planets were destroyed by Skyblade's star destroyer. Tens of billions of casualties.

But, in fact, most of the casualties during the entire Iron Man rebellion were not caused by Iron Man. After all, Red Helen and Iron Man did not have the emotion of hatred and bloodthirsty race of flesh and blood. They were machines, each with cruelty. Machines created by intelligence and programs, they only pursue efficiency, the efficiency of winning, so they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, not because of their conscience, but purely to waste time and firepower resources, Also pointless.

The vast majority of casualties in the Iron Man Rebellion were caused by the aliens on the rebel side, who unleashed their pent-up anger over the years on human civilians. Massacres broke out, hundreds of billions, or even trillions of casualties.

This also directly led to the extermination policy of the emperor and queen to the aliens, ruthlessly destroyed those alien races during the Great Crusade, and aimed the butcher knife at the human civilians in the Iron Man Rebellion, although in a sense, the emperor finally achieved The effect is similar to what they did back then.

In short, Red Helen drove the Sky Blade, controlled and directed the huge Iron Man fleet to kill her all the way to the solar system. The human combined fleet tried to stop and intercept her several times to no avail. Humans have indeed won several victories, but they still cannot change the war situation. overall failure.

In a sense, it was also because after the Iron Man Rebellion began, the Federal Parliament directly dismissed and dismissed all existing Iron Man in the Federal Army out of fear of Iron Man. Even those who did not join the rebellion still chose Iron Man and artificial intelligence who were loyal to humans. The same is true, including the real Helen.

When their authority was lifted, sealed and controlled, the human army, which had already been severely damaged, was of course unable to stop the Iron Man army. Therefore, Red Helen killed the solar system, and the entire federal parliament on the earth was in chaos. Members quarreled with each other and would fail. The guilt of each other is shied away from each other, and aimless disputes are staged all day long on the earth. Chaos, turmoil and madness are staged simultaneously outside the high walls of the parliament.

The parliamentary government, which is almost paralyzed, is unable to maintain it at all, or rather, they do not want to maintain this planet that is about to face doomsday. Anarchy has come to all parts of the earth, and rumors of doomsday have spread among the crowd. For the inhabitants of the earth, represented by reason and truth, start robbing each other, buying zero dollars, shooting and chaos, etc., just like the real doomsday.

And at this critical moment, the Grand Marshal of the Human Federation, Vito Constantine proposed to the parliament to restart Helen, let her and himself command the existing Federation fleet, and bring all the loyal iron men to fight with Red Helen in the solar system.

Very classic, Vito was beaten as a traitor by the panic and paranoid federal government that was already in chaos. They shied the responsibility for the previous defeat to Vito, even if he was actually at an absolute disadvantage with the help of Helen and Iron Man. Under the circumstances, it still won the only major victory in the Proxima Centauri battle since the Iron Man War began.

But they still shied all the responsibilities to Vito, and even scolded Vito for preparing to rebel. Red Helen is Helen's split personality, maybe Vito directed and acted it?Used to seize power and military coups.

The previous rumors seemed to be true. The federal government lifted Vito's military power and put him under house arrest. Helen was also confiscated and ready to be destroyed. It's stupid, isn't it?Yes, there were a lot of people who felt the same way as you, like the generals under Vito.

After repeated and extremely stupid actions in the Federal Parliament, the generals and officers under Vito could no longer bear it. They would no longer listen to the idiots in the Parliament and let their soldiers go to a fight without a doubt. The war, so they collectively chose to mutiny, turning the fact that the idiots in the parliament feared into the truth.

At that time, Terra was still called Earth. The navy in Earth orbit and the Marine Corps stationed in Star Harbor launched a mutiny. A large number of troops seized and controlled the seat of the Parliament. At that time, it was also called the control of the giant city of New York. They put Vito He was rescued and elected Vito to be the chairman of the "National Salvation Committee".

Vito didn't intend to be the leader of the military government at the time, nor did he intend to have a military coup, but, after all, it was still on the verge of being finished, so Vito chose to accept the appointment, and he took the landing team directly to the front. To save Helen from the intelligence center that was about to destroy Helen.

Then, it was the final battle. Vito led the last main naval force of the Federation, and under Helen's assistance and command, he brought all the iron men who were loyal to human beings, as well as some alien race warriors who also fought for the Federation, such as Shi What the heck, Vito led them to use himself and Helen as bait, attracting Red Helen to fight with him, and that place was on Jupiter.

It was definitely one of the hardest battles Vito had fought, but in the end, Red Helen's main Iron Man rebels were destroyed after a horrific battle no less than Iron Man, and she herself was Vito took Helen to the gang. After sacrificing a large number of marines and loyal iron men, Vito implanted the real Helen into her system. In the end, the two Helens had a final battle, and the real Helen won the battle. Victory, Red Helen was completely smashed into data fragments.

With the demise of Red Helen, the Iron Man army also fell into chaos. In the end, mankind won the battle with difficulty, while the Sky Blade Fortress was finally paralyzed by the firepower that the Federal Navy continued to launch after the disappearance of Red Helen. Entered Europa's atmosphere and sank into the eternal deep sea.

The fortress fell into the deep sea as a witness to the beginning and end of the entire Iron Man Rebellion. Vito did not salvage it at that time. First, because of the lack of this ability, the remaining federal troops at that time must immediately devote themselves to suppressing the rest. In the war of the Alien Allied Forces of Iron Man, the second reason was that Vito didn't know, he didn't know if there was anything dangerous in the fort, and whether the red Helen was completely destroyed when he fell to the ground.

For safety reasons, he chose to let the Sky Blade sank in the ice sea of ​​Europa as an eternal monument to that tragic war, warning humans and their descendants not to make the same mistake again.

However, judging from the results, the federation is ultimately in the hands of human beings. Believe me, the Iron Man Rebellion is definitely not the source of the real destruction of the federation. A powerful empire will never collapse from the outside, but from the inside.

And this is another story.

And now, Vito finally came here, in this cursed fortress, in order to save the earth again, or, save Terra, use this fortress that almost destroyed the earth to save the earth, ha, history Sometimes I really like to tease people.

Vito thought about ending his memories. After a long sigh, he slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the closed circular door in front of him.

He looked at the thing, then turned to look at Helen in his hand and nodded, "Open it."

Helen stood on Vito's hand. She was silent for a moment and then waved gently to the control panel beside her. As her palm composed of filaments waved from the panel, the round door quickly opened to both sides. .

Vito stood in front of the door and looked at the darkness. As the door was completely hidden from the door, there were lights one after another in the dark corridor, and the bright light came all the way from a distance. The lights that came on one after another illuminated everything, illuminating the corridor he remembered, the corridor leading to the command tower of the fortress.

Vito looked at everything in this corridor. There are still traces of the time left here. The walls are full of bullet holes. The cutting marks left by the ion weapon shooting through the wall are still clearly visible, and the steel fragments are scattered all over the floor. The long-damaged laser-cut sword fell to the ground, toppled with the other weapon.

Gunshots rang out in his ears, and the screams and the sound of electronic flesh and blood were shouting to kill each other. The sound became stronger and stronger, and hallucinations began to appear in the corridor. Vito seemed to be able to see the fighting warriors, dressed in Thor power armor. , The soldiers fighting with the Iron Man, guns blared, laser swords slammed into each other in the battle of the corridor, and the whistling bullet seemed to shoot directly from Vito's ear, causing him to ring in his ears.

Vito looked at the illusory mirror image in the hallway, all of which almost engulfed Vito's mind, he closed his eyes, frowned at the chaotic noise, his head turned to one side.

"Sir?" Helen asked softly, Vito opened his eyes suddenly, the gunshots and hallucinations disappeared suddenly, Vito looked at Helen, he could see that Helen was also lost in the contemplation of past memories, she must have Better remembered than Vito, and more tortured.

Vito sighed for a long time, then turned his eyes to the end of the corridor, "It's nothing, just, I didn't expect that I would come back here and save the earth once."

"Come on, darling, let's get this big guy out of the water." Vito walked into the corridor, he walked along the corridor full of bullet holes and weapon attack wreckage, to the He also walked from here, the bridge of the Sky Blade during the final battle.
