The reason Olga pits her adopted sons against each other is also simple.
According to Soshyan, it won’t take long for a new batch of knight mechas to be in place, which means that this emerging family will soon have 6-8 knight mechas, and this also means that, They need a patriarch.
Olga is over seventy years old. Even with life-extending surgery, he cannot sit in this position for long, so he must choose a qualified heir from these adopted sons.
This will be a very cruel thing. He has twenty-four adopted sons, and in the end only one will be able to reach the top. In the process, there may be bloodshed and death.
But this is not a problem for Olga, because the family needs a strong, courageous, powerful, and even cruel person to lead, only in this way can they survive and thrive in the dangerous galaxy, and continue to be the emperor. The name fights hard.
Face the enemy calmly and be proud.
As the machine soul revived, whispers came from Olga's throne, which were the voices of the attendants.
The foolishness of the same clan, the shame of the God-Emperor, only his green blood is enough to wash away his sins. The method of dueling, the way of the warrior, killing life on the spot, I am fortunate to be my emperor.
Another voice in the throne is full of enthusiasm for dueling, even higher than its enthusiasm for killing aliens and yearning for power.
The third voice was low and terrifying, like an echo from an ancient, dry distant place.
My heart is like a sword, eager to drink the enemy's blood.
More voices came from the throne, some of them just a fleeting murmur.
Olga clicked on the rune panel with her finger, and as the halo unfolded like ripples, the communication channel with Soshyan was opened.
"Sir Olga."
"Chapter Master Soshyan."
"How's it going?"
The chapter leader of the Astral Knights asked with concern.
"The landing went smoothly. There has been no direct resistance so far. However, the strategic auspicious device shows that you have encountered strong resistance from aliens in the area between coordinates 8-1-4 and 5-5-1."
"That's right, so the faster you act, the better."
As soon as Soshyan finished speaking, there was a loud bang of gold and iron and the thunder of bolters.
Olga quickly distributed the battle plan to all the attendants. Overall, it was very simple. They attacked from the enemy's side and disrupted the enemy's formation. Then the Astral Knights would join the Lamenters trapped in the research station. , work together to eliminate the aliens.
"Flag officer, sound the horn! Men and women, charge into formation and move forward!"
As the huge metal horn made a dull cry that resounded through the sky, with the Knight Titan Scorpion Sting as the core, twenty-four attendant mechas formed a diamond-shaped formation, like the spear array of ancient knights, and began to rush towards the Necron infantry formation. And go.
The one at the head is a broad-bladed squire, and the rear one is a spear-handled squire.
The broad-bladed squire is characterized by its agility and speed, as well as its ferocious melee capabilities. It is usually responsible for purposefully circling and harassing enemies in battle. One arm is equipped with a terrifying Reaper chain saw machete. This kind of The teeth of the large chain saw weapon are made of fine gold, and are driven by an exciter motor at a terrifying speed. The other arm is equipped with a powerful melt spear. This large melt weapon and the thermal energy of the knight errant The principle of the cannon is the same, and the power is not much different. The power of one shot is enough to vaporize those fools who think they have the thickest armor protection, or turn a tank into a pile of molten metal debris. At the same time On the top armor of their bodies, they are also equipped with a melta gun to further enhance their already amazing anti-armor firepower.
The Gunslinger is a high-speed weapon platform, designed to be able to kite enemies quickly, burst out hails of firepower, and maintain high-speed movement.
Unlike the Broadblade, the gun handle-type arms have been replaced by a pair of squire-type automatic cannons. This specialized automatic cannon has an extremely amazing rate of fire. Its burst rate of fire is enough to fire out hundreds of powerful armor-piercing rounds in one minute. , it can knock down a large number of infantry in a short period of time or break a group of light vehicles into sieves. At the same time, like the Broadblade, it can be equipped with a heavy wood chipper or melta gun on the top.
The gun handle type warriors often fight in a group of three aircraft, and their fierce salvos can quickly eliminate the enemy's flanking troops, or in defensive battles, the offensive can be severely frustrated before the enemy encounters the formation.
Among Olga's twenty-four attendants, fifteen were of the broad-blade type and nine were of the gun-handle type, highlighting his preference for close combat from another aspect.
When the majestic team of knights approached, some of them, as slow as the Necron, finally realized the danger, and some began to change direction.
"Raise the shields."
As soon as Olga's roar sounded, a burst of green energy surged through the Scorpion Stinger's shield.
As the shield flashed, the knight's body also trembled, and warning runes flashed on the control panel.
Just the tiniest scratch from a Necron weapon can effectively erase the outer knight armor coating that protects key internal systems, and when the damage report was displayed on the main panel, Olga's face didn't look good.
On the contrary, it was the attendants who, due to their size, had an easier time avoiding the fire, but two Broadblade classes were hit and fell down.
"For the Emperor!"
Olga roared and rushed straight to the battlefield, followed by the gun formations on the left and right sides, and various weapons roared.
Directly in front of them was a pyramid, the muzzles on its surface glowing with searing light.
"Concentrate your fire and kill it!"
The firepower of one melting spear may not be worth mentioning, but the firepower of a dozen melting spears is devastating.
The broadblades fired a powerful volley at the same time, hitting the undead pyramid hard and smashing it into pieces. The violent green explosion that followed also turned more undead infantry into pieces. Shiny dust.
Not to be outdone, the gun-handled retainers opened a stable breach in the Necron infantry line with their stormy attacks.
As the attendants rushed into the enemy's right flank, hundreds of metal undead were blown into the air by the overwhelming rain of bullets.
Then Olga saw an approaching gray line.
"Open a gap for the Astral Knights!"
Following his order, the entire gun formation quickly turned around and began to violently bombard the vicinity of the research station.
The Scorpion Stinger broke into the enemy group and trampled on the Necron infantry. Every attack caused heavy losses to these hated machines. The broken Necron twitched and writhed miserably like ants.
And even in such a fierce battle, he did not forget to glance at the fighting situation of each attendant.
It's quite acceptable so far. One broad-blade type was destroyed, two broad-blade types were severely damaged, and one gun handle type was severely damaged. The remaining squires each had injuries, and only three gun handle types were not injured yet.
Each attendant has basically consumed one-third of the ammunition, and some have consumed half of the ammunition.
These data will become the basis for evaluating their status in the future, but Olga will not tell any adopted son clearly that he needs to see their performance without knowing it.
