Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"Let it operate, and my soldiers will cover it." Father Kadoc said to Shen Lili. "Also let me see the level of this [Automatic Soldier] that your father left you."

Shen Lili gave an order to SPARK, and the two-meter-tall robot immediately ran out of the room and headed towards the control panel at the other end of the room.

The MEC robots immediately began to intercept the landing site. Although at this stage it seemed that the poison gas released by Julian, which was said to be able to easily kill the [Berserker], had no effect on the Skitarii and mechanical slaves with a large number of mechanical modifications, it (Julian) would not let them easily turn off the poison gas.

After discovering that normal attacks were unlikely to be effective, Julian resorted to his old tactic - letting the MEC robots under his control self-destruct.

BOOM!

A mechanical slave who was too far forward was knocked over by the impact of the explosion, and another explosion that followed completely engulfed him.

Bang bang bang!

A local robot blocking SPARK was destroyed by the heavy machine gun in its hand, and the impact of the explosion blew up a large amount of dust on the ground.

Bang bang bang!

Four more MECs fell, all of them wrapped in unstable electric light.

Biubiubiu!

Several scorching rays came from behind it, melting all enemies that blocked its way.

A Castle Lord-class automatic robot equipped with three melta guns is standing behind SPARK. This weapon, which can easily melt the armor of a unit, is deadly to these thin-skinned robots.

【Thanks】（ＳPARK）

After the SPARK robot thanked its comrades behind it in a humane manner, it continued to move forward towards the target, while the Crusaders and slaves surrounded the [Castle Lord-class Automatic Robots] to provide covering fire and clear the way for the former.

It can be clearly felt that Julian has further accelerated the deployment of troops, but those half-finished MECs are often destroyed as soon as they land.

Bang bang bang!

A turret in front of the control panel was destroyed by SPARK, and then the second turret was also destroyed by his punch.

[Has reached the target location, and started intrusion] (SPARK)

Dozens of seconds later, the ventilation system in the room was turned on, and the green mist began to decrease rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The battle situation began to tilt in favor of Kadoc and his men. Even though Julian still had a lot of troops, it would be difficult for him to turn the tables when being targeted like this.

You have to know that the people who came here this time were not a small team of less than ten people, but a large force of more than twenty people carrying various targeted weapons.

[I won't give up! If I can't get that body, I'll destroy it! ] (Julian)

It was obvious from the tone that Julian, as an artificial intelligence, was a little crazy, but then it fell silent.

The enemy's delivery speed also slowed down significantly, as if Julian had transferred most of his computing power to other places.

When another batch of enemy MECs were destroyed, one of the walls of the room suddenly shook, and then a crack appeared on it.

[High energy reaction detected] (SPARK)

Squeak--boom!

A thick beam of light pierced through the wall, taking with it several slaves and crusader soldiers who were unable to dodge in time.

An alien [Heavy Destroyer] bipedal mecha with a mottled shell broke through the wall, and Julian's voice sounded again.

[Please allow me to introduce to you - the Destroyer Prototype] Julian's voice came from the Destroyer [Thicker armor, stronger firepower, except that it is a bit bulky, it has no other disadvantages]

At this moment, another group of MECs landed and stood in front of the destroyers.

"In some ways, your father was very successful." Cadoc saw this scene, but he was not afraid at all. He controlled one of his mechanical claws to insert a large USB flash drive into the socket on the chest of the [Castle Master-level Automatic Robot Soldier], and said to Shen Lili. "Two hateful intelligences, each with its own characteristics."

[For your father's sake, I'll give you one last chance, Shen Lili] (Julian)

[Give me that body!] (Julian)

"Just like my father rejected you, I reject you as well!" Shen Lili refused.

[Then go find your damn father! ] (Julian)

Just as he was about to take action, three hot and thick molten rays attacked them.

The MEC in the front row was melted and pierced instantly, and then three rays of power continued to hit Julian's destroyer body almost at the same time.

The specially thickened armor was melted through in just a few seconds, and then the internal circuit boards and other things turned into a pool of hot liquid.

【1110010110000101101010001110． ． ．】(Burst output ends, weapon is partially damaged and cannot be used temporarily, energy reserve is low)

The destroyer who had been showing off his might just now seemed to melt in the next second and collapsed to the ground, which made Shen Lili a little unable to react. However, Kadoc slowly walked in front of Julian.

[How... is it possible... that I... can't?] (Julian)

Click!

The gear axe in Kadok's hand chopped down fiercely, completely destroying the core of the destroyer mecha, and Julian was completely silent.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Miss Shen Lili." Kadoc said. "I hope there will be another opportunity to work with you next time."

"Now, please leave my territory."

53. The beginning of chaos

Thanks to the help of Father Cadoch, Shen Lili completed her mission without any danger.

She successfully obtained the legacy left by her father - SPARC Unit-01 as well as its design drawings and subsequent information, and Father Kadoc also obtained a complete set of high-tech robot production lines. Although they are a bit old, they only need a little repair and modification to be put into use again.

And after completing the mission, Father Kadoc sent Shen Lili back immediately - most people in the Mechanicus are like this, so he was being polite.

In some ways, the SPARK robot obtained by Shen Lili has more symbolic significance than practical significance.

After all, at this stage, unless the XCOM organization is willing to share the design drawings with Zhang Yi and others, they will not be able to mass-produce this kind of robot in a short period of time, and she (Shen Lili) has not fully studied its specific functions. If they start production in a hurry, it will be unsafe in various aspects.

Moreover, the SPARK robot made by her father was indeed very intelligent and could do many things, but before she fully understood all its functions, Shen Lili was unlikely to send this only SPARK prototype to the front line.

What's more, they now have the help of Zhang Yi and others, so the pressure on them is not so great, and they don't need to be so anxious. This was something Shen Reid could not have predicted at the time.

This matter ended just like that, and another one has just begun.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

A relatively remote mutant outpost

The bodies of mutant soldiers were scattered on the ground, and a mutant captain wearing red armor was nailed to the outer wall of the small room in the outpost with two daggers.

"So, the so-called elder will make a big move soon?" A Catachan soldier said as he sat on a pillar used to block vehicles. "Is the news reliable?"

"That should be the case, if the latest parser is correct," said another Catachan soldier.

Because a large amount of confidential information of the elders is stored in a special way, and the carriers of this information are more or less related to psychic power, people without psychic power or special reading tools cannot know what the information is even if they obtain the carriers for storing and accessing the information.

In order to solve this problem, XCOM created a complex [Shadow Chamber] to read information. However, since Zhang Yi and his team had the psychic/magic master Kua Kuat, reading the information was much easier. With the cooperation of Father Kadoc, a small device with the same function as the [Shadow Chamber] was produced.

Although it still has many problems and may even fail to read, it is easy to carry.

And judging from the information obtained from the mutant captain's mind during the raid on this outpost from Catachan, it seems that the Elders will make a big move in the near future, but no one knows what it will be.

"I remember that guy said that more detailed information should be available from the brain of the [Original] or [Incarnation], right?"

"We have discovered the original text, but we have only heard of it..."

"And even the [Originals] are not easy to catch. These ghost things that are said to be pure energy run very fast, and they rarely appear alone in remote places."

"That is to say, we have to find a way."

After saying that, they both fell silent.

"Maybe we can ask that organization for help."

"Which one?"

"Um...what's 'anti'?"

． ． ． A few days later ． ． ．

[Avengers 1-6, this mission is to rescue a VIP of ours. He can provide us with several detailed city maps. You need to rescue him from the mutants' temporary prison and escort him back] (Military Officer/Bradford)

[This mission is different. We will have a small number of allied troops behind enemy lines to assist us, but they hope that we can help them capture or kill a [Original] so that they can obtain the latest intelligence.]

【complete】

boom!

The military officer's mission report had just ended when the XCOM team in the transport plane felt an explosion on the ground.

"What happened?"

"There's a fighting going on down there!" the driver replied to the members of the questioning team.

The XCOM organization's [Red Devil] transport plane flew through the air, and below it, ordinary humans were fleeing for their lives.

A venomous snake monster was shaking its tail with all its might, as if it was trying to escape from something, but when it passed an alley, a strong arm grabbed its tail and dragged it back.

boom!

A huge gunshot rang out, and the body of the venomous snake monster with its entire head blown off was thrown out. Then a muscular man with green paint on his face walked out of the shadows.

"You guys can let this thing run away? Shame on you!" He shouted at the Catachan warriors who came after him. "Keep your head up! Anyone who brings shame to the Empire will have to walk around in a pile of toads!"

As the most powerful ordinary human force in the human empire, the Catachan troops are best at fighting in complex terrains, and cities just meet this requirement.

Hundreds of Catachan warriors infiltrated the city by various means and launched the raid at the same time.

The sudden attack coupled with technological suppression caused the troops in the city to be quickly defeated, and they began to tighten their defenses by imprisoning enemy VIPs.

The Catachan warriors were completely different from the Astra Militarum, as they directly chased after the fleeing mutant soldiers.

There was a sound of breaking air from the sky as the first wave of enemy reinforcements arrived, but then heavy bolters opened fire on it.

Bang bang bang!

The flimsy airship was destroyed by the concentrated fire of heavy grenade launchers, and the alien reinforcements who had no time to jump out fell down along with the airship.

boom!

As soon as a heavy MEC that survived the disaster landed on the ground, a Catachan warrior holding a chainsword appeared in front of it and slashed it horizontally with the chainsword in his hand.

squeak--!

After a burst of sparks, the only surviving enemy reinforcement was destroyed, and Catachan, who was standing in front of it, kicked it away.

"keep going!"

At this moment, the [Red Devil] arrived at the designated location, opened the rear door, lowered the rope, and the team members jumped out of the transport plane along the rope.

"The VIP detention center is not far away, we..."

boom!

A tall berserker rushed out from a nearby building, and on his back was a sturdy human with almost no protective gear, with a dagger hanging on his back.

The Berserker swung his huge body away, trying to throw the person hanging on it off, but he remained firmly hanging on its back.

Dozens of seconds later, the man hanging on the back seemed to have finally seized the opportunity. He took out the bolt pistol on his waist and fired several shots at the berserker's head at close range.

boom!

The Berserker's huge headless body fell to the ground, but the man landed steadily on the ground.

"Pah! What a bunch of nonsense." The man said disdainfully, and then looked at the confused XCOM team. "You are the XCOM?"

"We took down the makeshift prison, but we couldn't open the lock."

"If you don't come, we're going to blow up the door..."

A few minutes later, the XCOM team arrived at the temporary prison where the target was held without any hindrance, and the accompanying technicians began to crack the door lock.

And in this room, an entire team of mutant soldiers were tied up and thrown into a corner.

"Can we use this to recruit the so-called [Original]?" The leading Catachan looked at the brain mining device handed over and asked the XCOM team members in front of him.

"It's just that there is a certain probability that the elders seem to use creatures called [Originals] as a living firewall for the psychic network. Once they find an unauthorized link to the psychic network, they may be teleported to..."

brush!

Woohoo! !

Before the person could finish his words, a mutant soldier next to him screamed, and the sharp blade pierced directly into her jaw.

boom!

The extractor was pulled out, and the mutant soldier fell to the ground and became a corpse.

"...Usually, we only use it on mutants at the captain level and above, because this thing essentially performs an intrusion operation through the permissions of the target being inserted. Ordinary soldiers usually..."
