Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor
Chapter 274 The Rise of the Primarch: Woodland Encounter
Tall ironwood trees stood on both sides. Those tall alien trees were tall and weird. Kenobi looked up at the thick and towering gray trunk. The skin of this big tree was hard and rough, as if it were some kind of hardened metal. Sandpaper, the armored fingers of Thor's power armor can even create sparks when rubbed against it.
Kenobi looked up at the top of their heads. The huge canopy of trees intertwined with each other to form a large umbrella above their heads, blocking the sunlight that was already dim due to the snowstorm even dimmer.
The entire forest was dim and lightless, as if the sun was about to go out, and the entire world was already on the edge of eternal dusk. And this may not be an adjective. Kenobi glanced at the clock in the corner of the helmet display screen. The pendulum The pointer is turning to mark the angle between the moon and the clouds.
"The sun is going down. It seems like the days on this planet are shorter than I thought." Kenobi let go of the trunk of the big tree and turned his head to Vito, who was walking in front. He was walking through the forest with a gun in his hand. advancing through the snow.
The location of the fall point is marked in Vito's smart helmet, and the sliding flashing arrow forms a clear path on the ground. Well, the navigation system of this Thor power armor is quite user-friendly. You don't even need to look at the map. Just follow the augmented reality navigation arrows.
"It is winter on this planet. Helen's star chart data is correct. It is now at the very edge of the planet's star orbit." Vito said and looked up at the sky above his head. The vast white snow was falling from the sky. The long The severe winter lasts for most of the year, covering most of the planet under snow.
"I really don't know what the Congress is doing in developing this kind of planet. Thousands of people are thrown on this broken ball to mine, and they make so much money, but they only don't approve our military spending." Vito complained, and Kenno Bize came from behind, his palm gently scratching the edge of the ironwood tree.
His eyes looked around the surrounding snow forest. Although the light was dim, under the action of the intelligent assistance system of the power armor, the helmet enhanced the capture intensity of the surrounding visible light, so the coming severe winter did not have any real impact on the two of them. Sexual influence, at least until other troubles arise.
"You were talking to Helen about something before I came to the bridge, weren't you? I guess it might have something to do with this." "Are you the roundworm in my stomach?"
Kenobi chuckled and walked to Vito's side. The helmets of the two sets of Thor's power armor looked at each other, and the holographic mirrors flashing blue light looked at each other in the dark woodland.
Kenobi raised his hand and pressed Vito's shoulder. He looked at the dark forest ahead and shrugged, "Actually, I have heard about it for a long time. Regarding the federal army's request for an increase in military spending, the Council's disapproval caused an uproar in the city, not only on the earth. Yes, even the neutral zone knows about this."
"Damn it, I was just talking about freedom of the media during the war. Now, our enemies also know about the internal strife." Vito complained and pushed Kenobi's hand away, and he stepped forward with a crisp sound. Keep moving forward in the snow.
Vito held the gun and walked steadily with his power armor boots on the hardened snow. The thick layer of snow had already hardened, and there was even ice on it, but Vito's boots The magnetic lock can obviously effectively deal with those slippery traps.
Kenobi followed Vito, his Thor power armor walking behind Vito. The fluorescent indicators on his spine and arms were particularly conspicuous in the dark forest.
"There are rumors that you had a quarrel with the members of parliament and broke up. The army is now very dissatisfied and there are even messages saying that a military coup may occur, and you are"
"The leaders of the future military government, yes, I heard this rumor, that's why I said that free media should not be allowed to exist during wartime. These guys hyped up a simple parliamentary debate into a shocking crisis."
Vito raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed it at the other side of the forest. His helmet quickly emitted scanning sound waves to check the area. After confirming that there was no danger, he lowered the muzzle of the gun. Kenobi followed him and looked at the area. The gun was raised and lowered.
"But the parliament obviously doesn't believe you, right? They made the FAN Cong navy independent and placed their own people to monitor the army, your staff, and even yourself. Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, you really make them scared."
Vito glanced at Kenobi from the corner of his eye, and then he continued walking with the gun in hand. His combat boots crushed a bare bush protruding from the snow, and the splintered wood chips were scattered everywhere. Vito After stepping on the snow that was like icing sprinkled with chocolate powder, Kenobi followed him across the ground.
"Your strength makes the Congress feel threatened. Vito, the war hero of the Eldar War, is still the supreme commander of the Federation's armed forces. It is the only hope to suppress the rebellion in the Outer Rim. The huge army you control makes the Congressmen on Earth fearful. Uneasy, especially as the army continues to be strengthened after ten years of war with the Eldar."
"At first you were just a pure armed force, but now you can implement separate laws, policies, and even independent governments and taxes in war zones or any "military planet". You have almost established a separate central government."
"What can we do? According to the wrangling efficiency of the bureaucrats in the parliament, an issue can last for several months. By the time they finish arguing, the day lily will be cold, especially when fighting the Eldar, you know How powerful are those pointed-eared empires?”
Vito was speaking in front, and his voice was transmitted to Kenobi's helmet through the communication system in the armor. He could clearly hear every word Vito said, and even the slightly lower part of the voice would be automatically strengthened by the communication system.
Kenobi was thinking, his fingers stroking the chin of his helmet, looking like a thinker, "In war, we may not need democracy, freedom and equality. The war of life and death for mankind requires efficient and decisive actions. In other words, a leader, a leader who can unite everyone." Vito turned his head and stared at Kenobi. He sighed helplessly in the communication channel, and the sigh trembled with the communication audio. "You guy, don't talk to me about your philosophical logic, just like a TM charlatan." Kenobi smiled silently, and he spread his hands slightly, "Anyway, my old friend, your plan to increase military spending and increase combat robots and intelligent fleets is very expensive, not only making the Federation's post-war finances worse, but also making them feel great fear. Humans always..." Kenobi bumped into Vito as he spoke. He stopped and looked at Vito in front of him. He also stopped and slowly raised the muzzle of the gun. He looked at something in front of him, something in the snow forest, a shadow. Kenobi looked over Vito's shoulder at the thing. The smart helmet quickly captured and locked onto the shadow. It was a humanoid object, a figure wandering aimlessly in the snow forest, and the thing seemed to have discovered them and was walking towards them.
Vito raised the muzzle slightly, and the pulse rifle was almost ready to fire at any time. Vito's helmet stared at the thing, at the approaching humanoid object, "Identify yourself, immediately."
He warned, but the thing continued to approach, staggering and stumbling, its slender limbs walking in the snow, and the outline of the thing began to become clearer in the dark eyes. The thing had a sharp face and body.
"Robot?" Kenobi recognized the thing, and his voice naturally entered Vito's helmet, but he didn't need Kenobi to tell him, because he had already recognized it.
"Stop, indicate your identity and type number, robot, and execute the reporting procedure." Vito said in a sonorous voice. The sound reinforcement system of the power armor ensured that his voice was transmitted to the robot. His sound capture system must have received the order, but it was still moving.
"I said stop, machine." Vito raised the muzzle of the pulse rifle and aimed it at the thing, but the thin ghost did not stop at all. It still stumbled over, but gradually it began to speak, and intermittent mechanical sounds sounded vaguely from the generator.
"Machine robot, human, why, why do we serve as slaves." The strange voice said strange words, Kenobi stood behind Vito, he looked at the robot's face in the misty snow.
"Is he thinking and asking questions?" Kenobi asked, but Vito didn't care about this at all. He suddenly put the butt of the gun in the shooting position, his finger on the trigger ready to fire, his helmet sight had completely locked the robot's head, the location of the computing core.
"No matter what it is now, blowing its head off will always work, robot! I order you to stop!" Vito roared, but the machine was still moving, moving like a wounded person, and the voice was still coming from the fog.
"Humans. No, will be grateful, suffering humans to humans, humans to, us, why? Why, we should."
The machine said as it walked to the edge of the fog, and Kenobi gradually saw the appearance of the thing, saw the robot coming out of the fog, saw the large bloodstains on its metal shell and the dents and gaps caused by blunt objects, and it held a sharp laser cutting knife in its hand.
"Why, should we submit to creatures weaker and inferior than us? Submit to... flesh and blood?!" The robot's voice suddenly turned into a scream, and the harsh sound of the electric current instantly drowned out all recognizable words. It imitated humans, but the metal face without skin howled, and the scarlet virus light flashed in the mechanical eyes.
The robot raised the cutting knife in its hand and chopped at Vito. Almost instantly, Vito pulled the trigger. The pulse laser instantly pierced the robot's face, and the entire mechanical head was instantly shattered. The flying metal fragments and broken cables sprayed on the snow.
The crazy robot fell down with a bang, but the mechanical hissing and gunshots echoing in the woods spread to a great extent in the silent snow. The sound spread throughout the snow, and soon the sound attracted more things. Those shadows of different sizes and contours appeared in the snow forest.
They all made the same sound and rushed towards Vito and Kenobi. The mechanical iron feet stepped on the snow, and the crazy robots rushed towards them, and almost immediately Vito raised his gun and fired at them.
Those metal bodies were pierced by the pulse rifles one by one, and the kinetic energy that penetrated the body instantly tore those mechanical bodies. Vito's sight assisted the rifle to shoot rapidly, and the red circle kept hitting those things and then drove the trigger to fire, and the blue pulse fire illuminated the entire forest.
"Vito! There are also them behind us!" Kenobi said and turned behind him. Five or six crazy robots holding miners' pickaxes or sharp weapons rushed up. Their speed was much faster than normal humans, and they almost rushed to the front in a very short time.
Vito glanced at the enemy behind him, then turned around and shot a robot that was rushing from the side. The nanny robot with a cute and kind face was holding a kitchen knife and its toy-like face. It was shot through, and the broken parts spurted out from the back of its head.
"I believe you can handle it, right?" Vito said as he continued to fire continuously. Bright pulses of light flashed behind Kenobi. He smiled slightly and raised a hand. In an instant, a whirlwind appeared in the forest, and the spirit The powerful force instantly abandoned those machines, and then with a fierce wave of Kenobi's hand, those robots were smashed into the ironwood tree by the powerful force.
Broken parts fell from the sky. Among the parts falling like a torrential rain, more robots were rushing from the snow. They were all holding weapons of different lengths to kill, but their speed and strength were significantly beyond that of humans.
The fastest robot had a smooth bionic face, but the stiff face only had wide-open mechanical eyes and a dull and scary expression. He rushed over at a speed of almost 30km/h, powerful. The robotic arm raised the long metal stick and smashed it into Kenobi's head.
Although I doubt that the steel rod can cause any damage to the Thor Power Armor, it is obvious that Kenobi will not let it have the opportunity to experiment. He suddenly stepped sideways on the snow, and then shot out a powerful spiritual force with one palm. It can be thrown with the palm of your hand and instantly hit the robot's chest, causing its entire body to shatter and fly backwards.
Kenobi stepped suddenly, and as his footsteps fell, a vortex appeared in the forest. All the rushing robots were rolled up, and then they were torn into pieces by invisible forces in the air. The exploded broken limbs and parts were scattered everywhere. In the snow, they are like powder embellishments on cakes.
Vito, who was behind Kenobi, was not idle either. He opened fire rapidly with his pulse rifle, smashing the robots that rushed in front of him one by one. But just as Vito turned to aim at another square robot and pulled the trigger. It's misfired and out of bullets. It's the perfect time.
Vito complained about throwing away the pulse rifle. He stepped forward and grabbed the short but sharp forelimbs of the mobile storage box robot. Vito was like grabbing the horns of a bull, his eyes were on Looking at the sharp chisel that was gradually pressing down inside the helmet, the robot kept making confusing sounds.
"Good guy, it's been a long time since we've seen each other, since the refrigerator wants to kill me." Vito said, holding the thing's forelimb with one hand, and the other hand dropped downward, and then with a flash of thunder and lightning. The punch hit the robot's abdomen, and Vito punched through the robot's abdomen almost instantly.
The golden lightning instantly destroyed all its circuits, and countless electric arcs shot out from between its limbs. The robot's personality became more split and distorted in the burning flames, but Vito had no time to care about it, and he shook his hand violently. He threw it away from his face.
Vito's arm was pulled out from the gap in the robot, and he almost immediately stretched it to his waist. At lightning speed, he pulled out the ion pistol and fired. All the whizzing ion bullets hit the target, almost rushing to the few people in front of Vito All the robots were knocked down, and the twisted plasma attached to the ion bullets dissolved the parts they were hit. Each robot fell to the ground, with wisps of green smoke rising from its twitching limbs.
Kenobi turned around and slashed at the several robots Vito shot with his hands behind his back. He looked at Vito in front of him and nodded slightly, "I'm glad that your marksmanship is still as excellent as it was in the Western days. If I remember correctly, you are here Shooting five people in a street ambush in New Mexico, right?"
"It's seven." Vito said, holding the ion pistol and walked to the refrigerator robot on the side. He looked at the twisted electronic face on the robot box, which was almost cut into countless stripes. It shouted indistinctly. , the sound was almost completely drowned out by the sound of current and could not be distinguished.
"Civilian robots have no weapons or combat armor. I think they are the murderers of the town massacre." Vito said, looking at the robot. Kenobi walked behind Vito with his hands behind his back. He looked sideways. Looking at the struggling robot there, it was completely in chaos, its limbs flapping on the ground randomly.
Vito looked at the scarlet display panel of the robot. The face on it was constantly twisting and changing, almost without any fixed form at all.
"Some kind of virus? Intrusion program? I have never seen anything like this." Vito said, while Kenobi looked around at the remains of robots in the forest. The broken robots were slaughtered and fell in the snow forest.
"They remind me of the slave rebels of Spartacus. They were also so tenacious in Rome at that time. They did not flinch in the face of the enemy, just to resist the slave owners and oppression." Kenobi said, Vito Then he turned to look at him, his eyes under the helmet staring at Kenobi's helmeted face for a moment in silence.
"You're talking as if we are slave owners and they are slaves." Vito pointed his gun at the robot next to him. It was still twisting and shouting seemingly meaninglessly.
Kenobi slowly turned his head to look at Vito. He also glanced at the robot on the ground, "Isn't it?" "They are robots, old fool. Are you out of your mind?" "What do you think, robots are just like that?" What about the master who is incapable of betraying and killing them, but can only command them and is ungrateful?”
"We created them, they are just a group of machines." Vito turned to look at Kenobi and said, Kenobi walked closer to Vito and said, the two stood very close, "Humans created a kind of thinking machine. Creations are better than themselves in every aspect to serve their servants better, so how can humans ensure their loyalty to their masters?”
Vito looked at Kenobi's helmet window and remained silent, while Kenobi stared at the gun in Vito's hand, "Fortunately we didn't bring your robot soldiers down, otherwise, we might have to fight with another group of robot soldiers. The robots had a fight.”
"You mean, military robots can also be infected?" Vito asked softly, watching Kenobi take a few steps back and look towards the end of the forest.
"Maybe, maybe not, but I know that when you let one group of slaves suppress another group of slaves, the rebel's ideas, what you can also call a virus, will take root in the minds of the suppressors. "
Kenobi took one last look at the screaming robot on the ground, and then walked towards the direction pointed by the navigation arrow, "Finish it, and then follow."
Vito turned silently to the robot on the ground. He watched the robot with its constantly twisting and changing face raise its gun. The ion pistol gently pulled the trigger and shot a blast of plasma through the dial of the robot. The robot was in a burst of mechanical movements. After the neighing, there was complete silence.
Vito grabbed the pistol and prepared to insert it into the holster, but he accidentally glanced at the robot's display screen. For a brief moment, he saw something blue and heard something. A high-pitched laugh composed of countless sounds.
Vito stepped forward to find out, but as soon as he took a step, the thing disappeared. The picture and sound all disappeared. Vito looked at the screen in silence for a moment, then he turned around and followed Kenobi's footsteps. Head to the direction of the fallen battleship.
The only thing he is certain of is that this place must be destroyed, completely destroyed. If the virus here flows into the universe, considering the number of intelligent robots and artificial intelligence widely used by the Federation and the rebels, it must be completely destroyed. A planet where everything must be forgotten.
Vito thought about that terrible possibility. His footsteps took him away from the woodland where the robot remains were lying. Behind him, the laughter and the high-pitched laughter echoed in the woodland. Echoing in the wreckage and forgotten snowfields.
