Warhammer Inquisitor - Chapter 588
Chapter 588 Soul of Titan
The electric sparks fly down between the steel supports, they are like luminous snowflakes, flying and floating in the air, turning into a strange illusion, they have no temperature and no shape, when the fingers touch them, those sparks It will disappear without a trace in an instant.
Vito’s hand was deep in the falling sparks, they flew down the sides of his palm, and there was no tactile sensation in the palm of his hand, as if it had never been there.
What really stimulates the senses is the place itself. Vito is standing on the observation deck built by scaffolding. It is very reluctant to say that this is an observation deck, because it is essentially just a few working corridors and maintenance platforms. A small part, members of the Mechanicus shuttle here.
Surrounded by those members of the Order wearing red robes, they are from the Order of Titans. The logo on their backs and the tall Titan steel giant in front of them have already explained this point. magnificent weapon.
In order to make the Titan feel at home, it was transformed into its unique residence, full of mechanical arms, maintenance cables, elevators and hordes of servants, they gathered into a group of steel army, in the Titan’s Moving around underfoot, welding sparks coming from them.
The entire steel dome is being built, and Vito is on one part of it, and the servo skull buzzes and flies in the surrounding air.
But among these noisy metal sounds, there is also a pleasant voice, and Vito is already very familiar with that voice these days.
That was Yeta’s voice, and she was here too, and without any data pad, she could proudly introduce the magical weapon in front of Vito, “It is from the world of Mars, the Titan of Mount Olympus. The members of the Order, Emperor Titans, are equipped with Plasma Annihilation Cannon, Hellstorm Cannon, and Plasma Incineration Cannon. Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but I can see that they are all heads of state. One, unique Titan weapon variants, usually equipped on the largest titans, because they can carry a powerful enough reactor.”
Yeta sang enthusiastically like a lark, as if she was showing off her knowledge of Titans, Mechanicus, and of course everything. If you ask Yeta about naval ships, she can also talk to you for a while .
But Vito has long been accustomed to Yeta’s voice and her style. Before Lena left the fleet and went with Loken to fight against the rising Necron Dynasty, she kept Yeta, or for safety reasons, It may also be that he wanted to train her, and Vito did not refuse, so the young Yeta stayed with Vito and served as his adjutant.
These days, this young female officer with fiery red ponytails has been by his side all the time. This is an honor and also a target of envy. The personal adjutant next to the marshal is a position that many people desire Yes, especially those from noble Imperial military families.
They were jealous of Yeta, which gave birth to some doubts. They questioned whether the young Yeta was able to perform her duties well and solve problems for the marshal, and Yeta also responded positively to them. Mind any challenge to prove yourself up to the task.
But this made Vito a little distressed. He didn’t like his headquarters very much. Every time there was a smell of gunpowder and an atmosphere of confrontation, it made him feel that he was fighting a war, and it was the kind of war that was difficult to handle. .
Therefore, in the following many times, Vito will bring Yeta to this kind of place alone, away from the headquarters, let her report to him alone, and try his best to teach Yeta a simple truth, that That is, as a leader, you need to be strong, otherwise no one will care about you, but you can’t be too strong. You need to give your subordinates room to display their self-worth, so that they will follow you willingly.
But well, Yeta is still very young, in fact too young, people at her age have a kind of drive, as if they are not afraid of being an enemy of the whole world.
Vito has also experienced this age, in fact, it is longer than Yeta. In the ancient 3K era, people on the earth at that time called this kind of person, the second, but fortunately, Vito has already passed that kind of age. stage.
But Yeta is still there, so she still needs to learn and exercise, and teach by herself. Vito is not sure if he can do it. He is not a good teacher, let alone knowledgeable. This is from Plato to Marca If there are many people, there will be a consensus, especially the Emperor, he will enthusiastically introduce to you how ignorant Vito is.
Of course, the latter will also enthusiastically talk about the former’s EQ level, comprehension ability, and the boring nonsense composed of too many riddles. They are really a team of good brothers, aren’t they?
But one thing, we can be sure, neither of them is a good teacher, look at the Primarchs, you know how much the Emperor needs to improve as a teacher, especially as a father, and Vito, don’t you believe it? Look at his girls, let me say, in terms of destructive power, ten Lorgars are not as good as one Helena.
“It is also equipped with some conventional weapons, such as shooter missiles, tear cannons, **** cannons, seismic cannons and Gatling blasters, and there is a guard composed of a large group of Warhound Titans, which are equipped with twin crown **** cannons , as a reconnaissance and assault unit, much more reliable than Knight Titans, some people don’t agree with this, they think that Hound Titans have weak firepower, I can give many examples to prove that they are more reliable than most people think.”
Yeta enthusiastically expounded those battle examples, such as during the Montario War, a Hound Titan squadron relied on super fast speed and was far better than most tanks, and the Titans equipped with the same model of void shields were actually stronger The shield system broke through the defense line of the rebel legion head-on, and destroyed the opposing warlord-level titan before it set off from the base.
Honestly speaking, Yeta is very capable of doing homework, and even some of the battle cases are unknown to Vito. Of course, he may have known, or even commanded himself, but he forgot because of the long years.
But she didn’t intend to disturb Yeta, she began to take stock of the many battle histories of this Titan, and even sounded better than its members, let her continue, and Vito doesn’t need her data, elaboration and There are many battle examples to prove this Titan, he only needs to look into its eyes.
This is the purpose of Vito’s coming here. After climbing onto the scaffolding, after the sound of sparks and mechanical buzzing, he looked into the eyes of the titan. On the huge face, the faint blue light was in the pair of mechanical eyes. Glittering in the eyes, Vito could see its soul in those eyes.
Many people think that machine souls cannot be pryed or touched. Even the members of the Mechanic Church know little about this mysterious soul, but that is because they lack the perception of psionic power. This kind of power will only appear in a few very gifted psykers.
It is called mechanical affinity, people with this kind of power can peek into the depths of the mechanical heart, pass through the barrier of ether and connect with the creations of the mechanical gods, generally speaking, for the driver of the titan, this is A complex spiritual connection and transformation is required to do so.
But Vito doesn’t need it. He can feel the mania inside this Titan. It is a proud warrior. Every inch of steel skin on its body is built for war. It has experienced countless battles. The external weapons , and more critically, the inner soul has become a real warrior.
Vito’s psychic energy travels through the ether, and he can feel every inch of this machine’s pulsation, its dynamic heart, its tendons made of hydraulic rods, and the skin covered with the most tenacious steel. Between his arms, A powerful force is about to move in the barrel.
This forced the members of the Mechanicus to force it into hibernation, cut off its power, and closed its weapons, but it was eager to fight, and the mechanical eyes were silently eager to embark on a new battlefield , to release the manic anger in the machine soul.
“We will let you step into the new battlefield soon, old friend.” Vito didn’t speak, and the words were directly transmitted to the heart of the machine soul by psionic energy. , completed within Vito’s few words, the machine soul calmed down, its violent soul silently waiting to be awakened again.
Vito appeased the machine soul, but Yeta obviously didn’t know it. Everyone didn’t know what happened in the plane of the machine soul and the ether, but Vito had finished the work, and he put his thoughts into a layer. The layers were peeled off from the Titan’s steel body, and Yeta’s voice was heard. She was still talking, but it seemed to be coming to an end.
“This is a powerful machine, isn’t it?” Vito decided to talk, and his answer made Yeta very happy. Every time Vito could really talk to her, she was very happy. Most of the time, Vito remained silent, educating her in a unique way that belongs to a man. Yeta believed that it was Vito who taught him how to observe his words.
Although most of the time, she actually thinks too much, and Vito doesn’t think about those complicated issues, but, well, if Yeta is willing to help Vito think, he doesn’t mind.
“Yes, it is a powerful weapon. Many battles have proved this, but there is also a problem.”
“what?”
“The Martian Mechanicus obviously didn’t realize how terrifying its firepower consumption is. The ammunition this guy shoots for a minute is enough for an entire Star Realm Legion, and the Martians obviously didn’t plan to equip it with the corresponding ammunition total. ”
Yeta’s voice was full of complaints, because she volunteered to take over all the logistical tasks of the Titan Legion when sharing the supply task from Anna. She intended to prove herself that she could surpass competitors in all aspects.
But obviously, she has to suffer when it is actually done. Such a huge firepower consumption is definitely a logistical nightmare, and Vito is almost certain that this must be intentional by the Martian Mechanicus. The mechanical consumption pays the bill, so let the people in the place where it is sent be responsible.
Vito looked at the distressed Yeta, and showed a faint smile, “But I believe, you already have a solution, right?” “Of course!”
Yeta said proudly, as if she was afraid that Vito didn’t listen carefully enough, she shook her ponytail behind her head, “The meteor shower galaxy is a world group rich in resources, they are rich in minerals, and the meteor showers that appear every day will bring The rich rare metals are called Tianci by the locals, and after the impact of the meteor shower, the entire surface of the planet will be covered with precious mineral deposits, just like Nocturne, the home of Salamander.”
“And this makes the meteor shower galaxy full of various factories, especially their home star, which is a forging world that provides ammunition supplies for troops in several star areas around them. I believe they can solve our troubles.”
“Very good, it seems that you have solved the problem and done well.” Vito’s praise made Yeta raise her head proudly. Her fiery red hair seemed to reflect her mood at the moment, and she glanced at the distant place. The members of the Mechanic Church, although the latter may not know it at all, and don’t care about her little thoughts.
But girls, it’s all like this. Vito has long been used to their jealousy and desire to show themselves, but at least it is better than boys, because the latter’s jealousy can easily turn into a rebellion.
“And if you’ve said everything, then come with me to deal with another problem. There was a battle outside, and a scarred ship docked. It brought some news.”
“How do you know?” Yeta asked in surprise, obviously she didn’t know, it’s not surprising, after all, there was no report, and she didn’t have that unique perception.
Vito smiled and stroked the metal bracket on the side, “You still have a lot to learn, but let’s see if you have mastered them well, come on, Adjutant of the Supreme Marshal, go to mine the planet Like a vein of mine, let’s dig for information.”
