Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 218 The Way of the Lonely Soul (Mona)
Several orbital accelerators are adjusted on the Void Battleship, but its goal is not to launch weapons, but to serve as a vehicle, yes, just like the greenskins launching their kid, I don’t know how the Tushi thought of this terrible but efficient way.

However, the powerful xv series combat suits of the Tau Empire can theoretically withstand the temperature caused by passing through the atmosphere, and the ultra-high-density crystals that can resist even plasma can achieve heat insulation, lightness, and strength.

It's just that the core contradiction of this plan is that there are very few pilots who can bear high-intensity G forces and at the same time activate the propulsion backpack when landing normally. This requires not only amazing physical fitness, but also terrible experience and judgment. In the case of carrying more instruments, judge the atmospheric conditions of the world, and start the deceleration system at an accurate position.

It is easy to be discovered by the enemy if it is late, and the fuel will not be able to support the landing ground if it is too early, resulting in the death of the user due to a high-altitude fall. However, the professional users of this flashy equipment are only a group of special fire fighters in this battleship group.

Xia Si'Wu·Dan'nuo adjusted the special panels of the xv25 battle suit and surrounded him with special soldier bees called Pathfinders. His armor and Pathfinders were painted in a special bright red color, while Tau who saw him would salute him and the small group behind him.

And the silence, deadly silence filled the Tau-style "Futuristic" battleship, xv25 locked all the voices of Xia Si'Wu Dan'nuo's group, and instead, their intense tactical discussions seemed to outsiders to be Like a silent tacit understanding.

What's interesting is that this troop doesn't belong to any hunting core. To be precise, they are lonely souls who fulfill the path of Monat. Only the Unity Blade worn by the team leader is the only link between them. There are only blood and genes outside.

They are far away from the army, have not experienced the methodical team training of most fire fighters, and have not tasted what it is like to fight with the Feng family and watch Gao Tian's fighter planes flying across the Tau Empire. They were born in the shadows and walked here.

This is a suicide act, but they don't need the command of the higher good. For them, war is almost as normal as breathing.

It is an extremely cruel thing for the human empire, but they can do it and contribute without hesitation for the sake of the highest good.

Earth's engineers carefully welded the silver-white jetpack to the back of the combat suit, and set it to automatically disengage after it loses its kinetic energy, and then pressed the test button to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Shasi'Wu·Dan'nuo raised his arms, followed those loyal engineers of the Tau Empire to modify his body, and entrusted his life to others is a great courage, which makes people admire. In the short and harsh adjustment sound, in the On his retinal display, the signs of detachment and activation, a simple triangle related to his life, just appeared.

Stepping into the launch chamber, this metal cage made of alloy is about three meters high, and it is almost a dark place close to the body. Just entering it is a test of the willpower of the soldiers, let alone firing at the enemy's position without entering it?
The dozens of rounds of "gunpowder" stepping into the "bullet casing" at this moment are the steel of the Tau Empire's steel, the elite of the elite, impeccable, and irreplaceable. On the heavy launch port, the entire fleet is watching them.

The emission from the void has only insignificant light and no sound. Several meteors grazed the sky silently, and rubbed red on the atmosphere. Low energy and low kinetic energy coupled with extremely fast friction consumption make most detection methods think it is Asteroids that are not worth mentioning, after all, they can be seen with the naked eye or observed by detectors.

Xia Si'Wu Dan'nuo just looked at the flashing high temperature warning on the retinal display and the continuous collapsing and dissipating alloy shell casings, and calmly estimated the time and place of landing.

"It's time..." At this moment, the bright red paint on the xv25 battle suit has turned red. In order to ensure that the high temperature will not damage the display, the display in front of him has actually been turned off at this moment, and he can only rely on the temperature detector and the latitude and longitude display to judge the specific situation. location and circumstances.

The temperature first increased and then decreased. After a few seconds after the peak value, Xia Si'Wu Dan'nuo accurately used experience to obtain information faster than a computer, and it was time to turn on the slowing device.

"injection!"

Dozens of combat uniforms flashed light from the display positions, bright flames danced behind them, and the streamlined power packs dragged them down with powerful force to slow down.

The fierce G-force was comparable to the howling of the craziest fighter jets. Even the elite among the elite felt suffocated and comatose, but none of the fighters lost consciousness and remained firm and strong.

"According to the group, the deceleration is completed. For the best way."

"The Bi team is complete."

"The late group is completed."

Shasi'Wu Dan'nuo looked at the huge building group gradually approaching on the monitor. This dark castle was still several thousand meters away from them. He kept the distance and landed. He dropped his backpack hundreds of meters away and activated the refraction cutter. The task Count it as a start.

The combat intensity is almost comatose, without any command system, far away from the light of the superior good or the calm judgment of the commander, and going deep into the enemy's rear is like a routine for them who are doing the way of Mona. On the outside, the bright red xv25 before, and the streamlined hidden battle suit showed a kind of obsidian-like pitch black.

The darkness of death.

The high temperature made the dye and the outside of the machine almost carbonized. Except for the monitor that was covered by a thick mask, it was still a normal silvery white, and the other places were all black metal texture, which seemed to blend in front of the Gothic-style high platform of this huge war fortress. One.

The stealth battle suit team's sleek, flat and smooth battle suits have a built-in refractive interceptor. Using this technology, they can hide themselves.

An additional cover stance dampens the sound of their movements and makes them invisible to thermal detection sensors, allowing stealth suit teams to get deep behind enemy lines before launching a precisely timed ambush.

These "stealth combat suits" projected a complete invisible force field from each node generator placed on the breastplate. The transparent and deadly technological creation gave them the illusion that they were almost integrated with the light. And its form disappears completely.

At a distance of 50 meters and high in the air, the retinal display issued a warning, and the jet auxiliary equipment was disconnected. At [-] meters, the soldiers adjusted their landing position, aimed their bodies, and fell to the tallest tower of Udon Castle, bypassing the complex and terrifying defensive beam array , and avoided the almost endless patrol guards.

Even if it fell at such a distance, the roar of the private server that covered the full strength of the stand still made the sound of the landing very small, and only a small amount of dust was stirred up, causing many ripples inexplicably on the top of the "empty" tower.

Xia Si'Wu Dan'nuo could overlook the entire castle from here. He waited quietly for a moment to make sure that there was no one there, and then carefully activated the pathfinder in sleep mode on the back of the machine, which was equipped with the same hidden equipment as xv25. The man-machine can ignore most obstacles and provide the best route planning for the team.

Judging from the status of the ambassador-class merchant ship scanner, this huge imperial fortress has a rather complicated and terrifying underground space, so only this small and reliable partner can guide the true direction of this group of soldiers.

The Pathfinder fell down with a small anti-gravity engine. After waking up, it circled around the top of the tower twice like a lively puppy. Although it seemed to be coquettish, the flat drone, which was about half the size of a person, scanned the surrounding situation very quickly. , and obtained general information from complex building groups.

Relying on its powerful maneuverability, it flew directly down the top of the tower, and slid down the gothic-style eaves. Even in the eyes of its companions at this moment, the little thing disappeared completely after leaving the range of the internal detectors. without a trace.

In the eyes of Xia Si'Wu Dan'nuo, that cute little thing has completely turned into a few beating green dots in the retinal display at this moment, constantly conveying the intricate and suffocating deployment and location of the human empire's building structure.

At the same time, he is also responsible for relying on experience to make up for the still unfinished artificial AI intelligence independence of the Tau Empire, guiding pathfinders whose computing power is similar to that of a small dog to find the high-value targets they are looking forward to, casting governors, and genetic sages , Melkor the sinner.

And soon, this poor little thing ran into trouble. When the empire's high-secret security vault, the defense system built with pure gold and sacred high-level codes can intercept most of the expected firepower and cracks, Udon's internal Both hardware and software (wetware) have achieved the ultimate.

Although the small pathfinder can rely on the hidden engine to avoid most of the patrolling guards silently, it can't pass through the wall, and even if it slips past, the soldiers of the Tau Empire can't do it.

The veteran of the group asked subconsciously. "Can it be cracked?" The voice was not very strong with the sound of electric current but could still feel a slight distortion. Without the help of signal towers, the communicator equipment that the Tau race is proud of is still no more popular than humans. How good is your radio.

And Xia Si'Wu Dan'nuo replied with a wry smile. "No, Pathfinder can't understand this complex code composition at all. The Human Empire obviously has such a good program, but can't make an AI?"

He said this to others, and he meant to emphasize once again that the enemy they are dealing with now is not a savage green-skinned orc, nor a disgusting Eldar pirate, but a galaxy with tens of thousands of years of history largest civilization.

Even though it is dying and rotten, the development history of the Tau race for thousands of years is still too thin.

But Shasi'Wu Dan'no was very glad that they joined forces with the Imperial Guard this time, he activated the hidden deck of the backpack, and took out a device that was only the size of a skull, to be precise, it was a skull.

Shasi'Wu Dan'no made a gesture to the artifact, which floated on a levitating disk, allowing him to hold it in his arms, and then activated its small anti-gravity engine to make it float in the half empty.

This human relic is a heavily altered, yellowed skull of an ancient human. To Shasi'w Dan'no, the powerful jaws, wide eye sockets, and primordial But the thick forehead with the features of an efficient hunter made it look as blunt as ape.

At least the owner of this skull must have been a warrior during his lifetime, but he wasn't sure if making such a relic was an honor or a punishment, whether he betrayed the interests of the empire and thus made an example, or whether he was immortalized as a hero.

He just spoke. "This device called the Servo Skull can help us crack the code. It only needs to transmit the data from the Pathfinder drone, and use this cable to link the xv25 database to it."

But to veterans, the human skull was a sinister and primal twisted and grotesque being.

This skull, which is heavily surrounded by clamps and coils, has turned yellow due to the age. Compared with the tidy and high-tech suspended disk of the titanium family that makes it float vertically, It looks so outdated.

Its cracked eye sockets stared upwards, and the whole creature seemed to be taunting the veteran with its crazy, bared grin, like the line he heard most often on the battlefield, Alien be damned.

"This is purely some kind of primitive and superstitious creation," the veteran said uncertainly, "does it really work?"

"Given its lack of scientific and technological embellishments, this may seem too absurd to be unbelievable," Shasi'Wu Dan'o replied.

"But according to psychic technology experts, whenever a special individual called a psyker is approached, it will send out a signal in some form to remind us."

"No wonder they embed electronic circuits in real bones," said the veteran.

"As you said," Shasi'Wu Dan'nuo nodded wisely. As an old soldier captain of the Tau race, he has very rich experience, and even enjoyed subspace travel, and commented.

"Although we have seen those things in the sub-plane, we still can't determine how it can measure and control the various strange situations caused by the spiritual technology called psionic power."

The old soldier forcibly suppressed an inexplicable tremor in his heart. The exploration of the sub-plane, the Tau Empire was still too vague. He thought of seeing the individual called the Demon Host on the Red Pirate flagship. The guide of the fleet, even in place of the computer...

But soon, he no longer wanted to discuss this issue, just watched the prompt flashing on the device.

After a while of busy work, the door opened, but almost instantly, after the thick adamantine armor layer was opened, the servo skull that received the signal issued a weak, howling roar.

It seems to be related to the subplane, they can't let me escape, at least at this moment...
