Chapter 138: Internal Breakthrough (I)

"Attack the enemy's heart directly, and hide the shape of the fierce blade."

"Never show your throat, never put your sword in its sheath."

"We are Astarte, not diplomats, not envoys, we are just soldiers."

"If you are inside an enemy fortress, you have broken through the strongest defenses."

"You have all the advantages."

"Make good use of them."

- Macarion, the philosopher of war

Commander of the 10th Company of the Midnight Lord's Legion, a member of the Bat Council on the night before, this poem is taken from his book "The Obscure Road".

……

Fu Qinghai led the troops of the Mechanic God Cult and assembled in the temporary camp of No. 56, and several people stood on the hill, looking at the warlord castle in the distance again.

The castle still shrouded in a shield of the void.

That's where the Foundation Void Shield comes in.

In the space naval battle of Warhammer 40K, even if the opponent's battleship has a void shield, it still has to be bombarded with naval guns. Because no matter how huge a battleship is, the number of Void Shield generators it can carry, as well as the energy supply of the ship's core engines, are always limited. As long as the attack power is oversaturated, it can cause the Void Shield energy to overflow, causing the Void Shield generator to overload for a short time, and then destroy the battleship.

Space fortresses like Mountain Array and Boulder that are larger than asteroids are naturally different, and that kind of existence may only be breached from within.

But the Foundation Void Shield, you never know how many layers it stacks, or how much energy reserves it has.

Moreover, the Burning Horse was still a Capitator-class system-controlled cruiser with only light spears and no macro cannons, and it was impossible for Fu Qinghai to order the orbital bombardment to continue until the Void Shield of the Warlord Castle was overloaded.

Adopting the espionage tactics used by the Alpha Legion is the best solution.

The location of this temporary camp happened to be outside the maximum range of the Skyhawk macro cannon.

If you go any further, you may be smashed in the head by the terrifying foundation cannon.

This time was different from the transport ship that killed the Iron Warriors, Fu Qinghai did not choose to divide his troops to surround him, but assembled and waited.

The firepower radius of the warlord's castle is too large, and the little force in Fu Qinghai's hand is simply not enough to surround the other party, so it is better to use it intensively.

……

At this time, inside the warlord castle.

The warlord's technicians and soldiers are working diligently to keep the Void Shield running, carefully examining every part of the giant generator to make sure nothing goes wrong or missed.

Orbital air supremacy has been occupied by the enemy, and no one wants to be overwhelmed by the light spears and macro cannons that descend on their heads, so they must be as careful as they can.

Four huge columns towered, with circular spheres at the tops, and the bases were densely packed with pipes and wiring, and the curled and wound embodied charged light balls were filtered by the activated sawtooth into the round balls at the top of the columns, writhing violently as if they were alive.

The air smelled of ozone, a characteristic of the working Void Shield.

The multiple Void Shield arrays that cover the main body of the castle are far more powerful than the Void Shields of other fortresses, and require more maintenance personnel.

The busy crowd was like worker ants around the pedestal, and no one noticed, and there were four of them, who were particularly cooperative, and made constant eye contact in private.

The way they dressed, the way they spoke, the warlord slave emblems on their faces, the electric burns caused by the long maintenance of the Void Shield, and even the strange low Gothic in which they spoke, the native accent of the feudal world, were utterly unexpected, and it was four outsiders.

Not far from these four people is the main control room of the Void Shield generator, where the closing and opening of the Void Shield can be decided, the main control room is surrounded by three Iron Warriors, these armored giants are armed with weapons, and their cold gaze constantly scans the passing mortals, making people dare not look at them.

Regardless of entering, any mortal who attempts to get close to the main control room, simply getting closer, will be subjected to severe scrutiny and interrogation.

The four of them glanced at each other and shook their heads lightly without a trace.

With the power of only four mortals, it is impossible to kill three Space Marines and then go in and close the Void Shield.

But they didn't intend to shut down the Void Shield in the first place.

Void shields can be fused with each other.

For example, in the past, when the Titan Legion was fighting, several large Titans, Emperor or Warlord, would usually form a battle line side by side, supporting the Titan Void Shield, withstanding the overwhelming fire of the enemy, moving slowly and steadfastly, and protecting the chariots, tanks, and small Titans within their Void Shields.

Their Void Shields are fused with each other to form a "Void Shield Wall", and if the Void Shields between friendly forces want to be superimposed and fused, they need to be achieved by adjusting the harmonics of the Void Shields.

As the largest of the three Void Shields, the Foundation Void Shield is responsible for the defense of the Empire's many fortresses and nests, and it also uses multiple Void Shield arrays that are fused and stacked.

A mortal agent disguised as a warlord technician silently pulls a metal plug from his robe.

The metal plug-in has a sharp, universal plug that can be used to interface with any instrument and equipment in the Empire, and contains the virus code written by the Alpha Legion Technical Sergeant.

This virus code has only one purpose:

Rewrite the harmonic code of the Void Shield array.

Several warlord technicians staggered by, waving their hands and waving their sleeves, and the metal inserts were covertly passed until the last technician came to the side of the generator's base.

……

Deep underground in the Warlord's Castle.

It was still so dim, still covered with candles and incense, dangling chains dangling and light twisting and floating on the walls.

An Iron Warrior walked briskly behind Leonel.

"Your Excellency."

"What?"

"Your Excellency." The visitor pondered his words for a moment and said:

"I think we should once again do a comprehensive inventory of all the mortal technicians who maintain the Void Shield Array, the brothers on the space station lost contact inexplicably, and then the enemy's fleet appeared in space orbit, and then the place where we hid the transport ship was discovered, this series of events is too coincidental."

"I don't believe this can be done by a mere Raven guard in Sutterfarland."

"What do you want to say?"

Leonel asked, looking ahead.

"I want to say...... There may be ghosts in the company! ”

The Space Marine, who was standing behind him, gritted his teeth and said.

"Oh."

Leonel sighed, noncommittal.

After a while, he asked:

"What about Bancroft Kellogg?"

"Messing around with his pet in the room."

The warrior replied, his tone full of disdain.

"Oh."

Leonel snorted again.

And then there's the silence, the embarrassing silence.

The warriors behind him seemed to be irritated by this attitude.

He shouted angrily:

"I think the job now should be to strengthen the castle's defenses, not to talk to some deformed and ugly monster, and not to believe the devil's slander and do nothing!"

"Boom!"

Leonel suddenly turned, and pulled out the power axe at his waist, the blade of which reached the visor of the warrior behind him.

"You're teaching me to do things?"

Leonel roared.

The atmosphere was tense for a moment, and the underground space was so quiet that it could be heard.

"Hahaha!"

A sudden burst of laughter interrupted the confrontation between the two.

The two of them turned to see the demon-possessed Star Whisperer, his body twisted into a ball wrapped in chains, his mouth open on his throat and laughing wildly, his deformed flesh twitching with laughter.

……

Fu Qinghai sat in the cockpit of the Thunderhawk gunboat, staring at the warlord's castle in the distance, his fingers tapping lightly on the steering stick. A man piloted the Thunderhawk gunboat, and he plugged several hoop cables from the engine room into the back plate of the power armor, so that he could aim and shoot without a gunner.

Jostar, Camille, Fifty-Six, and Sutterfarne, all fully armed, sat in the gunboat's crew compartment.

Fu Qinghai waited patiently.

He established communication with the cruiser in orbit:

"Eugene, are you ready?"

"It's ready, Khan, the Burning Horse is in its intended position, and the angle of the light spear array has been adjusted."

"Okay."

……

In the Warlord's Castle.

The last technician took the metal plug-in, and without much hesitation or waiting, he inserted it directly into the tubing of the base.

"Snort."

The mortal technicians around him looked at him in surprise.

As the virus was released, the Void Shield generator began to undergo a series of changes, and the entire giant device trembled.

"What's the situation?"

"What happened?"

The people around were a little flustered.

An Iron Warrior walked up to the crowd and grabbed the mortal agent by the neck and slammed it to the ground.

"Click!"

The mortal agent's cervical vertebrae snapped, and his head and chest bent at an eerie angle, but he still had an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Whoa, whoa...... Cha! ”

Large, sinuous bolts of lightning and flares flickered and rushed on the transparent dome overhead, and people looked up.

What happens if two large Titans, hostile to each other, move closer to each other?

As in the current scenario, the Void Shields, which do not have a unified harmonic code, will emit colorful thunder flashes as they push each other with their enormous energy, and violently spill into the air, releasing destructive shockwaves with the excess pressure of the collapse.

Fu Qinghai, who was in the distance, saw the abnormal situation above the castle, and he didn't wait for the void shield to completely collapse and disappear, but directly pulled up the joystick.

Rush!

The tail of the Thunderhawk gunboat erupted with raging flames.

The huge turbofan at the junction of the main wings turns out to be in the afterimage.

The Thunderhawk gunboat flew close to the ground and headed straight for the Warlord's Castle!

Suddenly, the voice of the communication channel rang out.

Eugene Eleanor:

"Khan, Director Starlanguage has asked to speak to you."

"Now?"

Fu Qinghai frowned as he operated the Thunder Eagle.

"Yes, she's eager."

"Connected."

It was Xia Hao Flossin, and the little girl's voice was full of anxiety and panic, and she said quickly:

"Khan, Khan! I just heard the star-whispering message sent from the surface of the Mal to the depths of subspace, a violent wave of psionic energy, there is a star whisperer in the Mar feudal world, and he is very strong! ”

Did you overhear this? Xia Hao has something.

Fu Qinghai stared ahead, frowned and asked:

"What did he say?"

"I, I...... I do not know. ”

Director Starling's voice trembled.

"I don't understand what he's saying, it seems, it's demonic language."

The language of the devil?

Fu Qinghai's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and with the palm of his hand pulling the operating lever, the Thunder Eagle gunboat rolled sideways, almost dodging a laser pillar that was launched, and said:

"Okay, I see, Natsuha."

Anyway, the arrow is on the bow, and he has to send it, no matter what demonic star language he is, he will take care of the warlord's castle first.

The four Space Marines in the crew compartment are about to be vomited.

If they knew that Fu Qinghai was talking on the phone while driving a gunboat.

"Boom ———"

The multiple Void Shield arrays, which were incompatible with each other because they were overwritten and covered with harmonic codes, finally couldn't maintain a complete explosion, and the air wrapped in the Void Shield vibrated violently, and the mortal soldiers present felt that the air in their lungs was going to be drained, and the flash of flame was enough to blind the fragile eyeballs without the protection of goggles, and the entire fortress was suddenly in chaos.

The bubbles of the Void Shield flickered and finally extinguished.

"Overloaded, restarted in five minutes."

A line of characters appears on the screen in the main control room.

Before Fu Qinghai's Thunder Eagle gunboat flew to the city wall, five thick golden pillars of light like a god descended from heaven pierced through the clouds and bombarded the castle directly.

The scorching golden shock swung the air, the glow making it impossible to see.

The first spear of light struck the Aquila-shaped cannon standing at the highest point of the castle in the center, and the turret dissipated and collapsed in the dazzling golden pillar of light, and the foundation cannon disappeared.

The second spear strike covered the generator of the giant Void Shield, and the spear ignited the plasma pipeline, causing an even more violent explosion that would not restart.

Third, fourth, and fifth spear strikes knocked down the walls, pierced the bunkers, set the oil depot on fire, and the warlord's castle was blazing and in shambles.

Five glowing spears fired in a volley, paralyzing the defense in an instant.

The bottom of the Thunderhawk gunboat almost brushed the edge of the battlements of the wall, and whizzed headlong into the castle's defensive circle, the steel eagle whipping up a fierce wind and a sonic boom.

The hatch on the side of the fuselage opened, and Josda jumped out first.

"Bang!"

The Moon Wolf Warrior landed on the ground with a claw, killing a badly injured Iron Warrior with one claw.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The remaining three also landed one after another.

Camille clenched the chainsaw sword in his hand, flames were drumming around him, blood and wreckage were everywhere, black smoke billowed into the sky, witnessing such a cruel scene, he instantly felt his blood pressure fill his skull, and he was about to rush out to kill the enemy with a howl.

was pushed to the ground by Joestar.

A blast shot grazed the top of Camille's helmet.

Camille calmed down suddenly.

The refined egoistic surgeon is back.

He hurriedly climbed up to find cover, and said in the communication channel by the way:

"Thanks, old Joe."

Joshida didn't speak, but saw the opportunity to stand up, and pulled out a detonation assault gun, which was a thin dark red ray that lit a steel warrior and turned it into a running torch.

……

Space orbit, cruiser Blazing Horse, lower deck.

The alchemist sat cross-legged on the bed, feeling the tilt and tremor of the battleship, and a low, muffled sound was transmitted down the deck to the cabin, the movement of the light spear array salvo.

They fought.

The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes.

He quickly pulled out two things from under his cloak.

A silver cylinder.

A blood-red translucent stone.

Alchemist Cover lifted his cloak with his hand, revealing a close-fitting cloth short, and at the push of a button, the hatch slid open.

The armed sailors who were guarding the door saw the hatch open, and immediately stopped it:

"Sir, at the request of Sir Eugene, you must ......"

"Whew!"

The crimson lightsaber blade pierced the sailor's back.

The alchemist withdrew his sword, and the armed sailor, armed with a shotgun, fell limply.

……

"Jingle Lingling!"

Red lights flashed, and sirens sounded across the bridge.

Eugene Eleanor suddenly looked at the surveillance array, and on the screen, the strange guy named "Gai", armed with a red lightsaber, was killing in the lower deck!

The armed sailors formed a formation in front of the battleship's passage, raised their shotguns and sprayed in unison, and the man just raised his hand to grab it, and all the shotgun projectiles were frozen in mid-air, and then they fell one after another, bouncing on the floor.

What is it!

What's going on?

Eugene's eyes were stunned.

The only three Space Marines on the battleship are on the surface.

Eugene hurriedly turned on the communication channel.

"Khan, Khan! There is a case! ”

……

Gai easily routed the armed sailors and hurried straight to the bridge.

Suddenly, the passage in front of it was obscured by a thick black mist, the wind swirled around it, the bulkheads on both sides were ghostly, and the walls were covered with random palm prints and blasphemous curses, and long black hair like seaweed hung down from the vents at the top of the passage, and blood dripped from the wet hair.

Here she comes.

The lid hooks the corners of the mouth.

Valak and Gaco, with their feet dangling in the air, appeared side by side in front of Gai.

The two ghosts had hideous faces and terrifying faces, looked at the alchemist in front of them, and asked in unison:

"Who are you? Who are you? ”

At this time, Gai was no longer his original normal appearance, his eye sockets were deep-set, his skin was collapsing, and the area around his eye sockets was maroon-red markings.

"This is the Force Mask, Miss Zhang Yuning."

Gai said with a smile.

"And I, Guy, am just a pseudonym, of course."

"My name is Lauster, Raust Caudle Grey, and you may have heard my name."

In the captain's room, Zhang Yuning's eyes widened, recalling the wanted posts she had swiped on the reincarnation forum, and subconsciously said:

"Once the fourth-in-command of the Zero Realm Guild, the chief alchemist of the Azeroth Continent, and later betrayed the high-level players of the Society, the Zero Realm Guild offered you a reward of 2,000 points for your first life, 3,000 points for your second life, and 5,000 points for the person who completely wiped out you!"

"Haha, it's notorious, and it makes you laugh."

Lauster said with a smile.

Zhang Yuning frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency, we have no grievances with you, why do we want to board the ship to find trouble."

As if he had heard something strange, Lauster spread his hands and said:

"Hey, it's really strange, I chose the Chaos camp, do I need a reason to kill you?"

"Good, good."

Zhang Yuning responded coldly.

In the passage of the battleship, Gaco's miserable white pajamas rolled up and turned into black smoke and attacked Lauster.

Unhurriedly, Lauster took out a small cigarette case from his arms, the outer shell of which had the English word "Cleopatra" written on it, and shook it gently in the palm of his hand.

There was a sound of rubbing against the floor.

Humans hear it and don't feel it.

But the coconut directly showed its original form and fell to the ground, covering his ears and screaming miserably.

"Screaming beetles!"

Zhang Yuning blurted out.

As a long-time horror movie lover, she recognized the item's provenance at a glance.

In the movie "Detective Hell", one of Constantine's exorcist items will make the demon god scatter every time he shakes.

Before he could finish it, Raust pulled out another golden knuckle, each of which was engraved with a black cross, and he put it on and swung his fist at the floating Valak.

"Phew!"

The ghost nun was directly knocked away, the black nun's robe was torn and shattered, and the vicious grimace was crooked.

Golden Finger Tiger!

Zhang Yuning was powerless to complain.

Did you rob Konstantin's lair?

This is a rare melee weapon for Detectives of Hell, and the gold it uses was blessed during the Crusades by Archbishop Annicott, who used it to banish the demon Baldasha.

Screaming Beetle and Golden Finger Tiger, exorcism items from the DC universe, are more professional than the tile steel sword Broken Heart when it comes to dealing with evil spirits and ghosts.

Lauster laughed as he walked:

"Miss Zhang, beautiful Ms. Zhang Yuning, do you think that I have been walking the reincarnation world for so many years, and there is nothing anti-ghost on my body?"

"I've also experienced the horror movie universe, and I also know the difficulty of your group of supernatural reincarnators, if I didn't have any means, I would have been carried by someone to receive a bounty."

The illusions created by the spirits and demons quickly dissipated as Lauster's pace quickly dissipated, and the battleship passage returned to normal.

Lauster walked leisurely, but not slowly, and whistled playfully:

"Shhhh

The ghost illusion dissipated at an accelerated pace, and Zhang Yuning hurriedly put on a coat and ran out of Fu Qinghai's captain's room barefoot.

She had to find a cabin to hide in.
