Chapter 890 Bendict and his friends
"Quiet! I can't hear the whispers of the machine spirit anymore!" As Horva, the most respected mechanic in the tank, began to roar angrily, the exchanges in the sound array communication finally stopped.
Thank you Emperor.
Bendict breathed a sigh of relief, this saved him a lot of trouble. Then he focused on the inside of the Baneblade super heavy tank, scanning every detail.
The Baneblade is a massive war machine that requires ten men to keep it running. It is rare to see sophisticated and compact equipment inside a powerful behemoth, which further compresses the internal space. In comparison, only Bendict's space for activities is relatively spacious.
Behind and to the right of his command chair is Lieutenant Terry's communications station, which is a very important position in the battle. Lieutenant Terry uses sensors to identify roads, traps, friend and foe, primary and secondary targets, and ensures the tank communicates with other Imperial forces. Therefore, people who can stay in this position are mostly quick-minded and strong-willed.
Opposite the communication station is the secondary weapons fire control station, which is managed by the third gunner Dori and the third loader Vaski. There are two laser turrets and three double-linked heavy explosive bombs installed on the Cadia Solid Stone. Machine guns are also controlled by them.
Machinist Horva was located below the command deck, accessible by a narrow spiral staircase, one at the front and one at the front.
Then there are the first gunner Wright, who is in charge of the main battery Tamega cannon, and the first loader Ness. These two people are very close to Bendict, and they can hear Bendict's orders by shouting loudly.
Finally, there is the pilot Xiaomu who stays at the bottom. Taming the exaggerated weight and inertia of the poison blade is not an easy task, so this is also a quite difficult job.
"Are you all ready? Then let's set off."
As Bendict's order was conveyed by Lieutenant Terry, the entire armored regiment became active. The roar of the engine and the rumble of the track operation greatly boosted the morale of the imperial army.
"Make them regret coming to Cadia!" a Cadian soldier cheered loudly to the troops leaving the defense line.
Bendict poked his head out of the car. The most obvious thing in this desolate and silent area was the black barrier that reached the end of the sky.
These black barriers are not dark enough to block sight. Wisps of black flow upward from the cracks in the ground. It’s neither dense nor sparse. But it was these things spread across the entire planet that greatly changed the situation in Cadia.
The black barriers were distributed diagonally on the left and right, cutting this wide plain into a triangular area, and the imperial army's defense line was deployed at the narrow corner.
Nothing but dead matter can cross these black barriers. Whether it is an aerial fortress equipped with ancient technology or a ferocious engine that relies on the power of demons, they will die the moment they come into contact with these black barriers.
Bendict has very complicated feelings about these black barriers emerging from the ground. On the one hand, the locations where these black barriers appear are not just in deserted areas. Many fortress cities have become dead places under the influence of these black barriers. On the other hand, without these barriers that cut the planet of Cadia into thousands of narrow areas that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, they would never have been able to sustain the invasion of the Chaos Legion for so long.
For Bendict, the defense of Cadia was divided into several stages.
The first phase, after the Iron Hands and Mechanicum forces chose to support the Forge World of Agrippina. The Cadia headquarters discovered that the activity of the Eye of Terror suddenly increased to several levels, and an even more foul and blasphemous light splashed across the land of Cadia, even dyeing the ground into an intertwined color of red and purple.
Bendict is willing to call this period a battle of faith. Only warriors loyal to the Emperor can stay awake in this evil light. The sound of commissars shooting soldiers can be heard every day, and the smell of the Ecclesiastical Sisters and the Inquisition burning the weak can be heard every day.
Before seeing the Chaos Legion, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people had died in the trial. Some people may say that this purge greatly weakened Cadia's defensive strength. But Bendict felt that this kind of grand trial only made Cadia's defense stronger. The troops recruited from all corners of the galaxy by Cadia's command were refined, the heroes were left behind, and the cowards were executed. If there is really a problem with the Great Trial, then why are there so few cowards worthy of being shot in such well-known legions in the empire as the Krieg Legion and the Volskaya First Sons?
The second stage of the Battle of Cadia was when the planet began to go crazy. Although Bendict was disappointed to say this, he could not think of a more appropriate word to describe his hometown.
Yes, crazy. Just crazy, this peaceful planet is crazy!
The black stone spiers scattered across the planet Cadia became active at the climax of the War of Faith. These structures of unknown origin are said to have existed when humans colonized the planet.
There are 5810 spiers scattered on the surface of Cadia, and more than 500 spiers are buried underground on the planet. Each minaret has a different design, but they all have an extremely precise height of 250 meters and a depth of 250 meters extending to the ground. There is a slender and winding tunnel inside each minaret, which happens to be meters long.
When Bendict was a child, he often saw people from the Mechanicus studying the black stone spiers. It is said that they have not understood the function of these black stone spiers until now.
Bendict, like everyone else in Cadia, had thought that the spiers were simply unique to the planet, like the overactive jungles of Catachana, but the spiers were a misconception. people learned a lesson.
Without any warning, all the spiers became active, even the black stone spiers on other planets. Complex runes with unknown meanings flowed on the smooth surface of the black stone, and green light with an energy level so high that it disabled all the Mechanicum's detectors enveloped the top of the spire.
A strange sound sounded deep in everyone's soul, forcing them to look up at the blasphemous starry sky.
The evil light disappeared, and what was even more shocking was that the Eye of Terror seemed to be getting further and further away from them, as if it had been pushed away by something.
Emergency orders rang out across the globe via radios and loudspeakers, forbidding everyone to look up to the sky and stay as far away from the Blackstone Spire as possible.
Bendict chose to obey the order in confusion. Even though they had spent two months setting up defenses around the spire, he led the troops away from the Blackstone Spire as quickly as possible.
