Phi-Fic Chapter 520: Meeting of the Two Mountain Bombardment Clans
Chapter 520: Meeting of the Two Mountain Bombardment Clans
When Gerald learned that the guy had arrived at the parliament area, he had already recruited a group of priests from the state religion for his own use.
He had never seen such devout expressions on the faces of those priests before. Even the cardinals had obvious desire in their eyes.
Even when the so-called "living saint" arrived at that time, there was still obvious suspicion on their faces.
And now...they looked so pious as if they had seen the Emperor himself.
"Zakli Think Tank?"
Gerald studied the nondescript human in front of him, no power armor, no unit number.
The officer's uniform was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, but it made the man's aura stand out.
It was as if ordinary people saw the nobles, the nobles saw the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice saw the Inquisition.
For the first time, Gerald felt his own insignificance, and for the first time he had the illusion of wanting to bow his head.
"Lin Heng."
The originator of that voice was cold and ruthless. Did this bind their fates together?
Gerald was the only one present who had spoken to the double alone, and he understood that the weight of this name had rested on everyone's shoulders.
That guy was right, the arrival of the subject was indeed not a good thing.
"Hello, Mr. Lin Heng, we have discussed with your substitute and are now proceeding in an orderly manner..."
"We are in tune with each other, but the pace is still too slow. I think it will be faster if I talk to them one by one.
If some officials really don’t listen to advice, I think you should have the power to issue a note to let them go wherever they like.”
"I understand.. But sir, some officers just need to know how to do something. As for why they do it, that is not something they need to consider."
Gerald tried to look at Lin Heng. Although he was obviously a head taller than the other man, he always felt like he was looking up at him.
"Did Black and White tell you?"
Gerald fell silent.
“It doesn’t matter, I understand your doubts about the idea of peace between the two races.
I also understand that you keep trying to find a substitute. This is your job and the product of your life experience.
I hope you can make better use of this ability when facing the Black Legion.
Now, let the Military Affairs Department speed up the gathering of troops and concentrate the resources of various worlds in the world of Wokus.
After 240 Terra hours, the first negotiation between the two races will take place."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Heng did not give anyone a chance to refute. The next moment he stepped out, the 'Star Gate' took him away from this place.
Only a few confused Inquisitors and the Star Governor who wanted to speak but didn't make it in time were left.
"He found us, like a fucking naked horse."
"The psychic response is huge and sharp... at least at the β-Beta level."
"The Mountain Bombard. He's on the barrel of the Mountain Bombard."
The exclamations of the agents and Space Marines in the audio array channel came one after another, but the events they described did not shock Gerald.
Because at this moment, what really made him feel a chill down his spine was goose bumps all over his body.
The cardinals, the pope, and the deacons just knelt there quietly, without interruption or raising their heads once.
They knelt like this until Lin Heng disappeared, then they raised their heads one by one, tears streaming down their faces.
"Farewell to the Divine Emperor!"
The voices of hundreds of people were shouting so loudly that it shook the sky, frightening the others present so much that they wanted to kneel on the ground.
Gerald looked at the towering gun barrels in the distance, and he knew that the stand-in was right.
Lin Heng is truly unstoppable.
...
Lin Heng stood on the top of the clouds, or...it should be the clouds strolling several kilometers away from his feet.
This is the bottom of the planet's stratosphere, where transport planes soar, but now it is the place where a giant cannon too large to be seen by the naked eye rests.
At an altitude of over ten kilometers, the cannons pierce the sky like spears, and the gun barrels that are so thick that they can dock battleships further demonstrate the aesthetics of violence.
And there is another such gun barrel two kilometers behind Lin Heng.
"Psychic fluctuations have been detected. That guy is performing psychic sensing, right above the muzzle of the No. 2 gun."
Gerald was speechless. What was he doing? Was he trying to sense the entire hive world?
What an unattainable word these were. He believed that even the transcendent President of the Star Language Court could not accomplish such a horrifying task.
And if the other party doesn't just take a quick glance, but wants to perceive the entire internal structure...
He didn't dare to imagine any further, because this was already beyond the limit of his ability.
All he could do now was wait silently, and urge everyone to take action while waiting.
"1 hour, traces of psychic infection were found in the area where the mountain bombardment was turned vertically."
"5 hours, traces of psychic infection were found in the front area of the ammunition loading factory."
"14 hours, the infection reaches the Order's artillery launch center."
"In 28 hours, more than people from districts reported the phenomenon of talking in their dreams in the church."
"At 42 hours, the sub-star generator discovered a disturbance in the machine soul."
"58 hours, arrived at the edge of the Fehilicus hive city."
"73 hours, all 1111 stabilization piles were found to have traces of psychic infection."
"84 hours later, at the lowest level of the Fehilicus Hive City, 1300 kilometers below the mantle, traces of psychic infection were found on the planetary impact defense platform."
Lin Heng spent a week to thoroughly investigate the situation of the mountain bombardment.
Ammunition Temple, 20-story Weather Temple, Coolant Temple, Command Center, Secondary Generator, Shield Generator or Maintenance Oil Depot, etc.
The nodal areas in those Gothic anthills are connected by stairs, tracks, abandoned corridors and elevators.
Each section of the hive provides some of the components or resources needed for the giant shell.
Ulysses did have something to be proud of. The Mountain Bombard was worthy of the title of a super weapon.
In order to protect and use this behemoth, the hive city is equipped with so many anti-aircraft weapons and energy shield matrices that people feel at ease.
These same defenses come from every factory, fortress and hive city on the planet.
It can even be said that the entire world is working to bombard the mountains. After all, it is conceivable that the rotation of the entire planet will be affected by this bombardment.
During the period of perception, Lin Heng discovered a considerable number of alien corpses in those dark corners and passages of the sanctuary.
The majority of the Tau people are Hufeng, with a few Orks and Genestealers mixed in.
He had already prepared himself mentally for this situation. After all, no matter where he went, those alien figures had already invaded every corner of the galaxy.
Of course, for these aliens, the same is true for humans if we change our perspective.
The shanty towns surrounding the bombardment like layers of halos are the areas most affected by recoil, high-temperature steam, and debris storms.
The buildings several kilometers outside the base are almost a row of charred wasteland, but the barren land can give birth to a large number of believers.
Extreme fanatics or messengers of despair built crowded shanty towns amid the dusty ruins.
This is the base of faith on which they depend for survival. Priests of the state religion come here to preach every day, asking them to regard the sky-high artillery as the embodiment of the Emperor's divine power.
“Oh, Immortal Emperor, have compassion on our insignificant sufferings.
Oh, Master of the Galaxy, bless your flock trapped among the aliens.
Oh, Guardian of Light, please use your light to guide our dark path.
We are your warriors, we are your servants,
No hypocrisy, no lies, no conceit.
Remember hatred, maintain hostility, and accumulate anger.
Give this to the unclean, the aliens, the mutants.
With your pain and blood and sweat,
By your destruction and reappearance as a human god,
Protect us and make us strong,
We fight for you.”
Lin Heng heard his call, heard the cries of thousands of people in their dreams.
The man in front of him was dressed in rags and curled up in a pile of industrial fibers, using the exhaust gas from the pipe to warm his body.
There were dozens of civilians huddled together for warmth around him. When the voice appeared, they spontaneously began to mourn in silence.
'Well done my warrior, keep praying and keep living up to your true worth.'
Lin Hengxing's voice was transmitted like stars falling on this crowded shanty, lighting up these lambs who were looking for answers.
"The Divine Emperor...The Divine Emperor gave me enlightenment!"
"The Emperor of God has arrived, and the God has delivered His moving gospel!"
"For the God-Emperor! For the God-Emperor!"
The crowd is always moving, one shout makes a group gather, multiple prayers make everyone loyal.
They shouted, sang, and welcomed the coming of the holy death.
Crowds of deaf pilgrims still drowned out the piercing warning horns and bells of the launch with fervent hymns and sonorous prayers.
Though typical of the Imperium, the resulting devastation was considered a small price to pay for the Emperor's sacred sanctuary.
"How far can it hit?"
Gerald was alone with his thoughts, his brain working at its limit this week.
The sudden voice startled him, and he turned around and found that Lin Heng was standing behind him.
"Report, that guy has disappeared and his location has not been determined yet."
"Got it. Cut off my channel temporarily. No one can disturb me."
Gerald hung up the communicator, and at the same time his subordinate, Ms. May, pushed the door open.
The other party had taken off his robe and put on a set of power armor similar to that of a combat nun.
The scepter in her hand was already pointed at Lin Heng, and the questioning look in her eyes was very obvious. It seemed that she was just waiting for the order from her boss.
"Mei, it doesn't matter. Lin Heng is not here to take my life."
"But at least it can keep him in line... Psychic."
Gerald tried to stand between the two, but Lin Heng blocked him and walked straight to Ms. Mei.
Seeing that the other party was so confident, Mei thought that she must make him suffer.
The gray energy swept out of the body. This silent energy was also capable of destroying life.
But one sword opened the sky gate, and the sharp blade split the heavy and suppressed energy into two.
The black stone creation, the relic of the War in Heaven, the Sword of the End that all things possess, broke through the air.
The invisible energy suddenly became visible, and the end guided by Lin Heng's sword became the tool to mobilize this energy.
Cutting, dividing, absorbing, the credentials that she was so proud of collapsed. Mei retracted the surging negative spiritual energy, knelt on the ground, and waited to be killed.
"Don't kill her!"
Gerald shouted, stopping in front of May.
"I'm not at that point yet..."
Lin Heng put away his gun and let out a long sigh.
"How far can it hit? How fast can it shoot?"
"Twice the distance from Holy Terra to the Moon...about 80 kilometers.
Taking into account the planetary rotation, stellar phenomena and the gravitational slingshot effect of Vorcus itself... at the fastest, three launches in two months."
"Alternating firing?"
"Two-pronged attack."
"Has the message been delivered?"
"It has been sent. Whether it can be received is one thing, and whether it can be rushed is another."
Lin Heng nodded without saying anything, and then said that in three days, he would go to a remote mining satellite to negotiate with the two tribes.
Gerald believed that the so-called negotiations were just consents that had to be given under pressure.
And the facts turned out just as he expected.
The planet mine belonged to the private property of a noble, even though someone had informed him that a leader would be coming in the next few days.
The mine's management could not have imagined that a group of judges and department heads would arrive together.
What made him feel even colder in his crotch was that the person he was meeting with was actually driving a Tau ship.
The manager regretted having to take a look at it, regretted coming to this damn mine to earn this damn money, and regretted not giving more Emperor Coins to the nobles above.
But there was no use in regretting it, because the nobles he knew were not even as good as Ulysses' heels here.
"The human empire is already in place. The participants include the Grand Inquisitor of the Holy Hammer Order, Cromwell Gerald, and the Alien Inquisitor..."
Ulysses spent six or seven minutes just on the introduction, and the glory of the Tau over there was even longer.
However, Lin Heng did not interrupt either party's speech, but just let them introduce themselves.
Everyone is restraining themselves, sitting on pins and needles, anxious...
When the last name echoed and dissipated in the hall, everyone focused their attention on Lin Heng.
“There’s nothing much to say. This is a battle of life and death. Since you’re sitting here, it means danger is about to arrive.
Joint operations are for the purpose of seeing tomorrow's sun. This is the general trend and the key point to the future."
"it is good!"
The stand-in clapped vigorously, while Caroline and the others clapped sporadically and politely.
Yuanjian also followed with two beats, but was immediately stopped by Yingyang's elbow.
The two men, one black and one white, on the opposite side wanted to eat her alive, and she also wanted to blow them to pieces.
Now everyone is bowing to Lin Heng’s power. What if something unexpected happens to him while fighting against the Black Legion?
It's going to get even more confusing...
"Now, let's discuss the battle zone, the offensive and defensive coordination tactics, and the gathering of supplies. Let's begin."
After Lin Heng finished speaking, he left the parliament, leaving everyone to solve this brain-burning task.
He was not avoiding on purpose, but was thinking about another troublesome enemy.
"Tarasim, this time Orikan might really come looking for us..."
