Invincible after death, but in Warhammer 40K

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Marneus Augustus Calgar



Just now, not long before the communication with Zhang Ge took place, the Adeptus Mechanicus personnel and the Legio Cybernetica Detachment had confirmed the identity of this Titan.

Although there were no external features such as family crests, nor were there any traceable serial numbers.

However, through Atomantic Scrying, the priests finally confirmed the production location and production date of this Titan.

The production location was near Yarkalan, because extremely small amounts of molecules "stuck" to its surface due to Molecular Osmosis Traces were extracted. After calculating their lifespan and comparing them with information in the database, after excluding some recently contaminated impurities, it was found that these molecules all came from the vicinity of Yarkalan.

The production date was a few days ago, because although the age of the Machine Spirit could not be detected, the age of the material that made up its body could still be measured. The date of its overall reconstruction was just a few days ago.

So there was only one answer.

Somewhere in Yarkalan was hidden a Titan Manufactorum that was still mostly operating normally, which at least had the ability to produce Warlord-class Titans, and sealed at least one pilot.

So, a reasonable assumption was made:

That factory was faithfully operating under the maintenance of a small number of surviving servitors and slave workers, and produced this Feral-pattern Warlord today. Then Zhang Ge just happened to break into it.

So, after rescuing the pilot somewhere in the facility, as the first person to see this Warlord Titan and the pilot's savior, he naturally obtained the pilot's loyalty.

Otherwise? Could it really have been dug out of the soil like a brand new product?

In addition, although the armor constituting this Warlord Titan was also adamantium, its strength and other properties far exceeded the adamantium armor of the same level Titans that came off the Adeptus Mechanicus production line today... No, if the local Yarkalan priests' descriptions were true, then it could be said that not only the armor, but the overall performance was undoubtedly far superior to that of normal Warlord Titans.

After simple simulations, even without considering the manifestation, this Warlord Titan with only this basic data could at least compete with a squad consisting of one Warlord and two Warhound-class Scout Titans.

This meant that what was buried was likely not just a Titan factory, but also a series of STC technologies from the advanced technology era.

After reaching this outrageous yet somewhat reasonable conclusion, many Machine Priests immediately cried and shouted that they would take the fleet back to counterattack Yarkalan - if the Ultramarines Victrix Guard hadn't been able to control them, they probably would have done so even if they only had the Skitarii Maniple.

Finally, a priest cautiously proposed:

Did we bury a nuclear bomb before we left, turning the entire Yarkalan into ashes?

These words calmed many priests down.

Because when they heard the word nuclear bomb, several people had simply fainted directly, another group fell down after hearing the whole sentence, and those who were still standing mostly looked at the Yarkalan priests with trembling expressions, as if they had already branded them as war criminals.

The Titan Guard officer was more direct, and was already asking who the main implementer of this plan was.

In this situation, another priest from Yarkalan quickly added another sentence:

The Titan came from the suburbs, indicating that the factory should be somewhere in the suburbs, and we have roughly scanned the surface of the suburbs, so there should be no omissions, which means that it is very likely buried somewhere deep underground.

In addition, the nuclear bomb was detonated deep in the hive city, and with the obstruction of countless steels of the hive city itself, the killing range was much lower than detonating it in the wild, and it would not necessarily destroy the factory.

This made the others calm down. After some further discussion, they came to the conclusion that they could not counterattack now, because the force was too weak. If they couldn't take it down, it would definitely make Chaos realize that there were some important things here. Even if they did take it down, they probably wouldn't be able to hold it for long.

So, it wasn't that they wouldn't counterattack, but that they had to go back first and gather a large enough expeditionary force and equipment before considering it.

During the conversation, someone mentioned the anomaly of the armed transport ship.

This naturally brought another wave of overwhelming inquiries.

While their discussion was going on, Zhang Ge was currently taking the first communication inside the Valkyrie's cabin. Only a short period of time passed, and before landing, another communication came in.

It was the voice of the Victrix Honor Guard:

"Destination modified, head to that armed transport ship."

"Understood."

Since it was an order, Zhang Ge basically didn't bother to understand the reason if he couldn't see if it was dangerous.

But the Victrix Guard explained himself: "Haha, not long ago, that group of red-robed guys suddenly called me, asking me and...the troops under Sister Blythe to be drawn to garrison that armed transport ship to protect its safety, and promised a heavy promise for this. It is estimated that the Astra Militarum side has also received it."

The sentence was quite long, but the subtext was simple, that is, everyone was taking advantage of the situation.

He blurted out half of a wrong word before mentioning Palatine Blythe. When Zhang Ge hadn't heard what it was, he suddenly changed his words and used a formal and abrupt title.

Zhang Ge didn't care too much. After conveying the information about the change of destination to this Valkyrie, he soon felt the body of the plane stop somewhere.

Leaving the cabin.

The parking place was still the parking platform on the deck. Zhang Ge saw a total of more than thirty Space Marines and just as many Sisters of Battle coming down from the two Stormhawk Interceptors next to him.

Moreover, before he had taken a few steps, another Stormhawk Interceptor and more than a dozen Valkyries landed, adding more than twenty and dozens of people to both sides, respectively.

More than fifty Space Marines. According to the normal Codex-compliant Chapter structure, that was already the size of a Demicompany, but here, he couldn't even see a Champion, only two or three Veteran Intercessor, including Artwood.

Obviously, even if we don't mention what it was like before the Primarch awoke, at least after the Primarch awoke, the Ultramarines' adherence to the Codex... had shifted considerably.

After confirming each other's identities, the soldiers scattered to the various defensive positions of the ship, and the Valkyries on the deck also began to fly away - a large group of Astra Militarum who were planning to take the opportunity to get a good deal from the Adeptus Mechanicus were rushing over, and the pilots needed to go back to load and make room for the new batch of fighters.

With the influx of a large number of soldiers from various aircraft, including the Legio Cybernetica Detachment, the armed transport ship once again became the strongest in security force in the fleet, excluding the Titan.

Although it was difficult to guarantee that the Adeptus Mechanicus was not using this ship as a meat shield, fortunately, the subsequent journey did not encounter any accidents.

The fleet had arrived in the Hyberia sector after a period of travel.

This was the core of the entire planet and the most heavily defended sector. Chaos forces had not yet touched its depths.

The ship did not stop, but was heading straight for the planet's capital in the sector.

There, someone was waiting for their arrival.

Lord Macragge, one of the Triumvirate of Terra, Primarch's Proxy, the former spiritual leader of the Ultramarines Chapter, Primarch's Seneschal, the Chapter Master of the Ultramarines.

Marneus Augustus Calgar.
