Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

Planetary Defense Force defense line, 87th, 31st Regiment station.

After Qin Mo came to support and built a small fortress, the rebels had not launched an attack for a while, but no one relaxed their vigilance. They were ready to receive orders from Qin Mo at any time and rushed to where he needed them. The place to rush to.

On this calm day, the two regiment commanders Duncan and Albert and the soldiers gathered outside the fortress, watching the logistics machinery that kept coming and going from the position.

These black spherical machines used to transport food and ammunition, but now they transport weapons.

The giant black metal box was hoisted by the logistics machinery and placed on the ground. Then they began to recycle the metal from the metal box, and improved laser rifles appeared in front of everyone.

"Is this a laser rifle with a scope attached?"

"You'll know if you try it."

The soldiers happily picked up their laser rifles, then walked to the shooting range outside the small fortress and shot at targets made of rebel equipment and wooden figures.

Then they were surprised to find that the laser rifle had a faster rate of fire, and the battery capacity was significantly increased, allowing it to shoot more beams before the energy was exhausted.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of weapons and equipment.

Half a month has passed since I heard that Cato City was stabilized, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are being sent to the position.

Including but not limited to, a Leman Russ tank, several ordinary power armors, unmanned transport aircraft, and even unmanned self-propelled artillery.

Those self-propelled artillery were built on anti-gravity suspension platforms. They did not require human control and did not leave room for the operator.

After being hoisted by logistics machinery and placed on the position, these artillery pieces will automatically gather together.

"Leman Russ tanks. Your Majesty is above." Albert, who was an armored soldier, looked at the Leman Russ tanks parked with unmanned artillery outside the fortress in amazement. "The passage to the lower nest has been blown up. Well, I really don’t know how this tank was made.”

The Leman Russ tank is a heavy tank equipped in the Imperial Astra Militarum. Not just any hive or industrial world can build this kind of war machine.

If Tyron Hive had the ability to produce Leman Russ tanks, the Empire would have sent troops to deal with the rebels long ago.

"Just like this fortress." Duncan looked at the small fortress, "It should be a product of creation magic."

As one of the positions that Qin Mo personally saved, everyone here has seen the magic of creation performed by Qin Mo. In just a few minutes, a fortress can rise from the ground.

Everyone here has also seen the power armor worn by Qin Mo and the survivors of the 44th Regiment. Taken together, it is not particularly strange that the Leman Russ tank was created.

"Did you notice that those artillery pieces were unmanned? Just like those black eggs." Albert suddenly lowered his voice with a mysterious look on his face.

Duncan understood what Albert meant.

Ever since the appearance of the black eggs... the logistics machinery, rumors have circulated on the battlefield that those black eggs contain hateful intelligence, because they have no one to control them and no one to guide them, but they can do anything.

The current unmanned artillery makes this rumor more convincing.

"Maybe, but we need them now, otherwise we can't even guarantee the logistics, can we?"

"This is the truth..."

"Keep silent on this matter. Sometimes knowing too much and talking too much are both bad things."

"Um."

After a few words, Duncan and Albert ended the topic tacitly and changed the subject.

"What do you think these weapons and equipment are used for?" Albert asked.

"Obviously, build a combined regiment." Duncan expressed his judgment. "Our entire regiment is an infantry regiment, and the armored troops have long been lost in the offensive plan. We need weapons and equipment that can be used to attack fortresses."

"Synthesis group..." Albert's view was exactly the same as Duncan's.

"I can even imagine what it will be like after all the weapons and equipment are rationed." Duncan pointed at the Leman Russ tank. "Each regiment has a Leman Russ tank as its core, with a small number of elite infantry wearing power armor, and fighting in unmanned aerial vehicles. We advance under the cover of artillery, and maybe those soldiers wearing more powerful power armor will arrive to lead our counterattack."

"You said counterattack?" Albert was a little surprised.

"That's right, otherwise what else can the synthesis group be used for? Is it held in the fortress?" Duncan said calmly.

Speaking of this, Albert suddenly felt that Qin Mo was brewing a war.

A counterattack.

Now that the defense line has been integrated, and according to the latest news, the Cato settlement has been relieved. Everyone has been stationed until now and has a firm foothold, and it is time to counterattack.

Although the number of our own side is now very small and the troops are not elite, they have been passively beaten so far. Just thinking about the concept of counterattack is enough to make people's blood boil.

"But our numbers are too small. Do you think a counterattack is realistic?" Albert asked.

"Rather than being passively beaten, we should counterattack." Duncan lowered his head and looked at the scorched metal ground under his feet. "We are actually just trapped beasts fighting now. If we must die, why can't we bite the rebels hard? Die? Maybe someone will record our heroic deeds in the future."

This sentence contained deep pessimism. After hearing this, Albert frowned and lowered his head in meditation, but the result of his meditation was completely consistent with Duncan.

In fact, everyone is still fighting in a corner, but they just don't want to sit there and wait for death. No one really thinks they can win.

If death is inevitable, then punching the rebels before death is indeed a wise choice.

Taking everything into consideration, although no counterattack or other war orders were sent from the communicator, the answer is obvious, counterattack is inevitable.

"We will be like shooting stars, shining with the most dazzling light in the night sky, even if this light lasts for a very short time." Duncan said very literary.

"What is a shooting star?" Albert asked. "I'm a layman, man. If this thing called a star is in the sky, I've never seen it."

"Meteor is an astronomical phenomenon. It will burst into the sky from the bottom of the hive, and then draw an arc like being shot out by a slingshot." Duncan answered very seriously.

Albert suddenly understood and nodded: "I have never seen a meteor, but I know that if tanks are used to bombard the rebels, the effect after the rebels' bodies are blown away should be similar to the meteor you mentioned."

Duncan nodded in approval, thinking that the effect should be similar. After all, he had only heard of meteors but never seen them.

The two friends were silent for a while.

Duncan suddenly said: "The effect of us being blown up by the rebels should be the same."
