Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 447 Black and Red, Planning in the Shadows (32) Close Contact

"Is it here?"

On an orbit [-] kilometers away from the casting furnace of Sailinde, Calvin and the envoy of the foundry director looked down from the mechanical ark with fighter planes and orbital scanning.

On the holographic projection, Selins is just a tiny black spot, and in the eyes of fighter jets passing by at low altitude, even if the afterburner is fully activated, it will take 20 seconds to cross the large forge built on the basis of the crater.

The emperor-level titan is here, and at this moment it is more like a sculpture made of steel, sitting quietly on the steel wall at the edge of the crater.

The fighter plane flew by from a height of 5800 meters, and the figure of the giant from a bird's-eye view became the size of a palm.

But it's not small, Calvin thought to himself.

Something that can be viewed from a distance of several thousand meters and can be recognized by the naked eye is a colossus for any citizen of the empire, including the Primarch, of course.

"It's here." Solan, the foundry deputy supervisor, replied.

"The original Order of Restoration has received an order to stop all offensive actions six hours ago.

The target is currently in a stable state. According to the previous test results, its warning range is about 30 kilometers.The peloton has pulled out of this range, but we're not sure if its machine spirit has clearance for anti-air weapons, so we'll just have to send you here. "

"Understood." Calvin interrupted Solan, and boarded the airdrop pod exclusively for him.The heavy airtight gate was closed and locked, and the suspension above the deck lifted it, and then moved it to the center of the cabin.

Solan bowed back and didn't stop until the edge of the deck.The bridge of the mechanical ark received an order, and the steel deck of thousands of square meters was split from the center.

The real-time synchronous information of the direction of the bridge sounded in the ears of the deputy supervisor of the foundry, and the auspicious bird was repeating the last calculation of the airdrop position below.

"The expected target is locked."

"The weather variable has been added successfully, and the repeated calculation is complete."

"The error is acceptable, ready to launch."

"5"

"4"

"3"

"2"

"1, launch!"

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
There was the sound of dense metal racks being bounced off, and pieces of airdrop pods were detached from the deck.

The gravity gyroscope was activated the moment it entered the vacuum environment, and under the guidance of the former, the rocket booster, which automatically started up under the chain reaction, slightly corrected its direction towards Hepper, and then flew towards the atmosphere.

On the edge of Selins Crater, a towering giant sits quietly in the dark red rock and steel.When golden raindrops appeared at the end of the sky, the eyes of this ancient creature shone with silver light again.

Is it coming again?How many more times will it be the end?
I just want to get a little quiet to think or remember, why don't these insects let it go?

Then let's do it again... Anyway, my life is already over, and this kind of battle itself can give it some short memories about the past.

The giant stood up slowly, and under the huge metal church, a head the size of a battleship deck slowly lifted up.

A golden double gear shines on his forehead, and a silver owl spreads its wings in the center of the gear emblem.

The God of the North Wind, this is its former name.It's a pity that neither the Mechanics who tried to capture it nor the current one have forgotten this sacred name.

The weapon arrays on the shoulders and waist wake up from dormancy, and dozens of independent scanning arrays lock the targets in the sky one by one.

The near-defense cannon, which is comparable to the caliber of the main gun of a heavy tank, slowly moved up, and dense missile launch nests were also pulled out from under the concealed armor.

"Damn!" Calvin, who had been maintaining the link with the observation ship, cursed upon seeing this, and then grabbed the control wrench on the airdrop pod.

However, the instinctive sense of crisis only receded a little bit, and even bigger danger omens reappeared.

In desperation, Calvin had no choice but to watch the readings of the distance to the target on the screen in the cabin, while encouraging his spiritual energy to try to complete a temporary teleportation without a beacon.

The injection port protruded from under the violently burning airdrop cabin, and the shuttle-shaped metal cabin that fell at a high speed came to a sudden stop.The surrounding airdrop pods passed over in an instant and blocked it. At this time, Calvin in the pod had given up on the operation, and his eyes were fixed on the behemoth several kilometers away through the observation port.

boom!
Dense metal jets rose from the ground, and then converged into a river of flames that went against the trend. The shells that were enough to tear apart the armor of a main battle tank were as dense as raindrops, so that the sound of multiple airdrop pods being destroyed was also connected together.

The golden light spots in the sky are rapidly decreasing under the indifferent gaze of the giant spirit, and Calvin, who is one of the few survivors, is counting down the seconds like years in the cramped cabin.

"Five...four...three...two..."

The metal bulkhead behind him suddenly shook violently, and Calvin instinctively wanted to reach out to help but found nothing. The sudden influx of air was so violent that he instinctively held his breath, and the sound of metal being torn came slowly. , and Calvin had already watched the shattered piece of armor disintegrate in the sky.

"One!" Calvin recited the last number heavily, and the psionic storm around him was already brewing.

But the metal armor under his feet was the first to be unable to withstand the penetration of the artillery shell. Calvin looked down subconsciously in the piercing pain, and then, in the sound of a burst of spiritual energy, he met the "lucky" armor-piercing shell. disappear into reality together.

Hit?But it doesn't seem to be quite right...

The dwarf's eyes looking up at the sky flashed with a human light, and the abnormal energy activity on the shoulders instantly aroused its vigilance.

Level [-] alert! Class A reverse osmosis combat plan!Titan found a solution in an instant, and without any hesitation, the icy machine soul aimed the barrel full of destructive power at himself.

hum!
The psychic lightning was like a ray of light, tearing apart the peaceful space from scratch, the silver thunder crackled and formed a halo, and the body wrapped in the Primarch emerged from the void.

The Primarch, who staggered out due to injuries, had just stabilized his figure when terrifying jets of metal came one after another.

Without any time to react, Calvin threw the power accumulated around him forward, the sound of the collision of the spiritual energy shield and the metal projectile suddenly sounded, and he himself had already jumped towards the gorgeous building above his head.

hiss!
After smashing several machine guns with Imperial Truth, Calvin finally had time to stop and observe his wounds.

The boot armor of "Chuxin" is made of pure gold, but after being scraped by the kinetic energy of a full 50mm shell, only half of the armor remains.

Due to the lack of beacon transmission, the spiritual energy shield restrained most of the energy, and failed to play a proper buffering role. Based on the strength of the power armor itself, it is rare to be able to eat two shells in a row before it is damaged...

But Calvin was still injured, even if it was just the bruise of the shell, the burning sensation in his feet had subsided, and the convulsed nerves were screaming to the brain with severe pain.

The fifth metatarsal, together with the fourth metatarsal, was severely deformed, and the nearby muscle fascia was also torn by burns.

But fortunately, his self-healing ability is already taking effect, the ineffective signal sent by the nerves to the center is reduced by the hormones secreted by the brain, and the blood vessels on the raised skin and flesh are also spontaneously shrunk and closed.

If you give him a few more minutes, maybe he can resume normal combat with only his own healing ability.

But if there is no if, although the guards on the Titan have long since disappeared, this does not delay the shooting of other near-fire forces. Even from the perspective of the machine soul, the disappearance of these troublesome and weak creatures is the reason for its unscrupulous shooting.

Calvin dodged the cannon fire on Titan's raised arm several times in embarrassment, and walked towards the main entrance of the church with a limp.

Before the painkiller in the Power Armor took effect, he could only use the Imperial Truth in his hand to "knock open" or pry open the heavy door in front of him...
