"I am Legion Commander Horne Chavez, with the rank of Major General. I saw you on the mothership."
Horn walked out of the crowd, tightening his half-tied armed belt as he walked.
"Do you have any instructions? Noble angels."
"Why can't I contact you through your communications?"
After Calvin entered the hall and looked around for a week, he actually understood the reason why the headquarters lost contact.
But the armed officers in front of him and the communication equipment ready to be destroyed behind him made it difficult for him to say the words of reproach he originally intended to say.
He took a breath and said in a softer tone:
"I need you to buy us half an hour so that we can destroy the equipment in the ruins. But now it seems that this request is a bit unnecessary."
The veterans heard the sound and continued to arm themselves. After a pause, Major General Horn said to Calvin:
"I can't guarantee whether it will last half an hour, but if you see a devil's cub appearing in front of you, it will be after we are all killed in the battle."
"clear."
Calvin turned around and left. At this moment, time was so expensive that he could only exchange it with his life. He could not live up to the sacrifices of these soldiers.
Passing through the deserted heavy artillery positions and logistics camps, Calvin arrived at the entrance to the ruins amidst the smoke that had not dissipated after the last roar of these heavy artillery.
From a long distance away, he could already see the golden figure that separated from them as soon as it landed.
It was a seemingly ordinary canyon pass, with nothing unusual except for the steep and narrow mountains on both sides. If it weren't for the Empire and Chaos fighting for this place at all costs, Calvin wouldn't be able to see anything special.
Jin's figure was facing away from them, as if he was missing something.
"You shouldn't have come." Jin didn't look back.
"I'm already here." Calvin stood still and said indifferently.
Well, the real situation is not so bloody. It's just that the author simply couldn't hold back and was clever.
The real and normal situation is: Jin turned around when he heard the footsteps and saw Calvin, who was already waiting here. He said "Please follow me.", and then walked in the direction inside.
Calvin led the Gray Knights behind him, followed Jin's footsteps through the rubble and ruins in front of the pass, and walked into the valley within the valley.
"What a spectacular scene."
After crossing the pass, Calvin's vision instantly broadened, and the magnificence of the valley space clearly exceeded his expectations.
What amazed him even more was that unlike the remoteness outside the valley, the rocks inside the valley were full of traces of artificial carvings.
The rock of the entire mountain was carved into a huge rock base. The handrails of the rock base alone are thirty meters high. You can imagine how tall their owner is.
Six of these seats line the sides of the view, which ends with the remains of one of their owners.
Yes, when he really saw these giants standing as tall as towers, Calvin was extremely lucky. Fortunately, all that was left here were the wreckage.
The giant knelt on the ground with his head bowed. The long and narrow war blade of more than thirty meters in length in his right hand was leaning on the ground, maintaining the posture before death together with another huge arm. In the center of the bone-white breastplate, the heart or energy core was penetrated. This was probably That's why it died in battle.
This place is no longer a battlefield thousands or tens of thousands of years ago. The white body is broken and has almost no luster. The huge gems inlaid on the joints are mostly dim and cracked. Weeds have struggled to grow from the gaps between the toe bones, but they are still the same. This does not prevent Calvin from imagining their power in their heyday.
"Alien Titan?" the Gray Knight behind Calvin exclaimed.
"Yes, and it's not just that. There's more inside." Jin continued to walk forward.
Calvin was as surprised as the Gray Knight behind him, but he controlled his emotions better. He was also shocked by the creation in front of him, and he knew very well how powerful these incarnations that could represent the gods walking in the world in a certain sense had.
What kind of war is worthy of introducing these ultimate weapons of a race?
And what kind of existence can destroy six such giant spirits that once existed here?
Calvin's pride in the small victory he had just experienced on the battlefield seemed especially ludicrous in this context.
He continued to walk forward with a straight face, introspection and self-blame entangled in his heart at the same time.
Calvin and the others continued walking, and after passing through the corpses of five Titans who were either standing or kneeling, complete or broken, they finally saw the place that Jin had become the ruins of the Webway, and at the same time they also knew how to destroy these alien Titans. , what kind of existence is it.
The giant pillars towering like clouds are full of the flavor of alien civilization and spirit. The exquisite carvings and eye-popping specifications made the Chaos Gate that Calvin had seen before seem like a crude joke.
And right in front of this once gorgeous portal, there is a huge crystal that is still shining. It was the energy core of this portal, and it is also the source of the maintenance of this ruins barrier to this day.
The functional equipment of the portal has been damaged. The link between the huge crystal and the portal was destroyed by some kind of energy attack, and the initiator was the same tall black-red steel figure facing the portal.
Its height is only slightly smaller than the Alien Titan in the valley, but its broader shoulders and thicker armor make it no less powerful than the former.
At this time, it also maintains the same posture as when it fought until the last moment:
The black giant sword in one hand was stuck on the ground, and only the half exposed could still make people look up. The dark barrel exposed in the palm of the power fist at the end of the other huge arm was facing the destroyed portal. A long and narrow sword mark on the faceplate made of steel is the reason why it stood here after death.
"Warlord Titan!"
This was the second time that the Gray Knights had exclaimed, but Calvin was relieved. Compared to the unknown power of destruction, at least the previous horrific massacres were caused by his own forces, which was indeed true to a certain extent. Fixed Calvin's mentality.
"Correction." Jin turned to the Gray Knights and said.
"It is a warlord-level Titan, but to be precise, it is a specially modified type belonging to the Order of Omen, a warlord-level psychic titan. You can know this from the exclusive logo of the Order of Omen on its chest. But. Their secret level is very high, equal to yours, but their numbers are few, so it’s normal not to know.”
"Oh? That's it." Calvin said calmly, looking at the familiar lion head on the titan's chest.
"Why isn't it recycled?" he asked.
"This place has been buried underground, and the Bad Omen Order has no new pilots. Their personnel requirements are more stringent than yours." Jin replied.
"Can this thing still move?"
Calvin asked. His attention was attracted by the giant. There was a voice in the dark that seemed to be telling its story in his ears. There was even more in the cab behind the cut-off visor. Something caught his eye.
"In principle, yes." Jin said hesitantly. He recalled the records in the mission background information he had seen before setting off, and said to Calvin:
"The power source is intact. The damaged parts are the melee weapon on his left hand and the mechanical transmission equipment on his right leg. The fatal injury is on the cab. The untouchable driver and his psychic crew were desperately trying to destroy it. After the entrance to the Webway, we will die together under the revenge of the Eldar artifact."
"You mean it can move? As long as someone is driving it?"
Calvin seemed to have thought of something, and his speaking speed began to increase.
Along the way, there was always some kind of revelation-like inspiration in his mind. He knew that it was not the whisper of the subspace. If the evil devil dared to provoke him so recklessly, he would naturally not be stingy in destroying it.
But the feeling of the revelation was so vague that he could not confirm the direction. After entering this valley, this feeling became stronger and stronger. Until he saw the body of this Titan, the direction of this revelation became extremely clear, pointing directly to this sleeping giant!
Start it! Activate its power! Harness its machine spirit! You can change the current situation!
"No!" Jin responded firmly.
As if he was afraid that Calvin would not understand the difficulty involved, he explained to Calvin the working principle of this technological pinnacle product of both Terra and Mars:
"It requires at least three alpha-level psykers to drive it, and in order to avoid the powerful interference of subspace and psychic energy, only the untouchable can withstand this pressure to operate as a driver. Finally, its activation The operation is based on the sacred Martian mechanical language, and without relevant knowledge, you cannot pry one of its screws!”
Jin finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Calvin regretfully and added:
"Get rid of that crystal. This is our mission. Don't worry about the sacrifices of those mortals. As long as they are valuable, their sacrifices are not a waste."
But Calvin turned a deaf ear to King's words. He slowly walked towards the giant as if possessed, answering the prerequisite questions raised by King as he walked:
Ten meters away!
He said to himself: "Psychic power? I have it! I don't have enough, there are them too!"
Five meters distance!
He ignored Jin's stoppage: "Untouchable? As long as you can withstand that kind of pressure, it doesn't matter whether you are truly untouchable, right?"
Two meters distance!
He slowly stretched out his hand, as if he were comforting a frightened cub, and also like the most primitive communication when contacting an alien soul:
"Knowledge? That must be a forced compromise in order to communicate with the unyielding soul in this steel body!"
As his hands pressed against the cold skin of the black and red steel giant, the entire giant let out a huge roar like it was waking up after a big dream!
Ring the bell once!
Push the lever to activate the piston and pump...
Ring the bell twice!
Push the button, start the engine, ignite the turbine, breathe life into...
Ring the bell three times! Sing in unison! Praise the God of all opportunities!
The ion reactor starts automatically! The dull eyes on the visor are shining again!
The liquid metal cooling device opens the valve!
Secondary heat pipe fluid release!
Driven by water vapor, a huge bell sounded from the steel body!
The machine soul is awakening!
No complicated binary language required! The fluctuation of the soul made Calvin understand that it was roaring the oath since its birth in ancient times!
The machine spirit is roaring!
In ancient memories, from birth to countless battles, every pilot has looked at Calvin through time and issued warning words to him!
The Emperor's wishes have not yet been achieved.
The blood of the enemy chieftains has been offered to you, and may you fill it at the feet of the Emperor.
The service of protection is etched upon you, and may the prayer of protection protect your soul.
You should be respectful! Walking on earth as the Om Messiah!
You should be humble! Use your remaining body to serve the Emperor's wishes!
The forerunners' earnest warnings still linger, but the furious soul in the machine soul is impatient!
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Destroy all enemies of the Emperor!"
Amid the huge roar, Calvin did not put down his hand, but stood at the feet of the steel giant and looked back.
Amid everyone's astonishment and Jin's stunned look, he smiled and said:
"You see, communication between souls is sometimes that simple."
Is it really that simple? How can it be!
When Calvin took off his power armor and climbed with difficulty from the entrance under the Titan's feet to the cab, the mess here still made him frown:
The instrument panel and the front armor were torn to pieces, and almost all of the unknown equipment pipelines behind were violently broken and mixed together.
When passing by the first floor of the cab, Calvin glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the three survival capsules prepared for psykers were all in a damaged state.
The same goes for the cab on the second floor, where the ashes of the original crew can still be seen in the driver's seat and in the crystal life-support capsules of the two backup psykers behind him.
"what do I do?"
Calvin asked the giant spirit in his heart. Except for the thought transmission device on the driver's seat, which he recognized in front of him, the remaining parts were all wood in his eyes, regardless of whether they were good or bad.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Destroy all enemies of the Emperor!"
The real link between the machine soul and him has not yet been established. Relying solely on the fluctuating communication of the soul's instinct, the machine soul's words were exactly the same as before, without any valid information.
".........Can't you say something else?"
Calvin was a little speechless, but he still had the courage to look for all the available information.
"?"
After several searches, his eyes focused on the armrests on both sides of the driver's seat. In addition to some complex mechanical buttons, there was a small ring-sized depression on the left armrest, which should be certified equipment.
Calvin had no choice but to ignore the former.
But there was also a significantly larger depression on the right seat armrest, which made him make some bold guesses while recalling it.
"Alfonso, you are such a mystery..."
He scrambled to the seat and sat down. After inserting the connection of the transmission line into the back of his head, he took out the emblem with the same concave shape from his personal pocket and put it in tentatively.
Silence...one second, two seconds, three seconds,
Just when Calvin began to laugh at himself for being careless, under the driver's seat, which had been silent for an unknown amount of time, the Thinker servo began to make a program startup sound!
Under his surprised gaze, the core servo belonging to this titan began to work again since its fall ten thousand years ago.
"Beep! Parameter *** number *** code is starting..."
"Beep! The self-test program is activated! Operation authority is activated!"
"Beep! Authority authentication failed! Not the same unit!"
"Beep! Emergency program self-test! Confirm that it is in a lost state!"
"Beep! The operating authority is activated again!
Confirmed to belong to the Order of Omen, number ***,
Permission level certification passed! Operation permission approved!
The self-test procedure is in progress! "
Buzz!
With the influx of huge amounts of information, Calvin's vision went dark, and then he completely lost all awareness of his body and fell into his first close-range communication with the machine soul...
