Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 24 Speculation
……

Planetary Defense Force line, where the 87th and 31st regiments are stationed.

After Qin Mo came to support and built a small fortress, the rebel army hadn't launched an attack for a while, but everyone did not relax their vigilance. They were always ready to receive orders from Qin Mo and rush to where he needed them to go.

On this peaceful day, Duncan and Albert, two regiment leaders and soldiers gathered outside the fortress, watching the logistics machines that kept coming in and out of the position.

These black spherical machines used to deliver food and ammo, but now they transport weapons.

The huge black metal box was hung on the ground by the logistics machinery, and then they began to recycle the metal from the metal box, and improved laser rifles appeared in front of everyone.

"Is this a laser rifle with a scope?"

"You'll know if you try it."

Overjoyed, the soldiers picked up their laser rifles and walked to the shooting range outside the small fort to shoot at targets made of rebel equipment and wooden men.

Then they were surprised to find that the laser rifle had a faster rate of fire, and the battery capacity was significantly larger, allowing more beams to be fired before the energy was exhausted.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of weaponry.

It has been half a month since I heard that the city of Cato was stabilized, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are being sent to the position.

Including but not limited to, a Leman Rus tank, some ordinary power armor, unmanned transport aircraft, and even unmanned self-propelled artillery.

Those self-propelled artillery were built on the anti-gravity suspension platform, they did not require human manipulation, and there was no room for the operator.

And when they are hoisted and placed on the position by the logistics machinery, these artillery will automatically gather together.

"Leman Russ tank. The Emperor is here." Albert, who was an armored soldier, looked at the Leman Russ tank parked with the unmanned artillery outside the fortress in amazement. "The passage to the next nest has been blown up. I really don't know how this tank was made."

The Leman Ruth tank is a heavy tank equipped with the Imperial Astral Army. Not just any hive city or industrial world can manufacture this kind of war machine.

If Tyrone's lair had the ability to produce Leman Ruth tanks, the empire would have sent troops to deal with the rebels.

"Just like this fortress." Duncan looked at the small fortress, "It should be a product of creation magic."

As one of the positions that Qin Mo personally saved, everyone here has seen the magic of creation performed by Qin Mo. In just a few minutes, a fortress can be erected from the ground.

Everyone here has also seen the power armor worn by Qin Mo and the survivors of the 44th regiment. On the whole, it is not particularly strange that the Leman Rustank was created.

"Did you notice that those artillery pieces are unmanned? Just like those black eggs." Albert suddenly lowered his voice with a mysterious expression on his face.

Duncan understood what Albert meant.

Ever since the Black Eggs... Logistical Machines came along, there's been rumors in the field that those Eggs have abominable intelligence, because they're unmanned and unguided, but they can do anything.

The current unmanned artillery makes this rumor more convincing.

"Maybe, but we need them now, otherwise we can't even guarantee the logistics, can we?"

"The truth is this truth..."

"Keep quiet on this matter, sometimes knowing too much and talking too much is a bad thing."

"Ah."

After a few words, Duncan and Albert ended the topic tacitly and changed the subject.

"What do you think these weapons and equipment are used for?" Albert asked.

"Obviously, build a composite regiment." Duncan said his judgment, "Our entire regiment is an infantry regiment, and the armored force has long been lost in the offensive plan. We need weapons and equipment that can be used to attack."

"Synthetic group..." Albert's opinion was exactly the same as Duncan's.

"I can even imagine what it will be like after all the weapons and equipment are rationed." Duncan pointed to the Leman Ruth tank. "Each regiment has the Leman Ruth tank as the core, and a small number of elite infantry wear power armor and advance under the cover of unmanned artillery. Maybe those fighters wearing more powerful power armor will come and lead us to counterattack."

"You said counterattack?" Albert was a little surprised.

"That's right, otherwise, what else can the synthetic group be used for? Stuck in the fortress?" Duncan said indifferently.

Speaking of this, Albert suddenly felt that Qin Mo was planning a big battle.

A counterattack.

Now that the line of defense has been integrated, and according to the latest news, the settlement of Cato has also been cleared. Everyone has been stationed until now they have a firm foothold, and it is time to counterattack.

Although the number of our own side is small and the troops are not elite, but we have been passively beaten so far, just thinking about the concept of counterattack is enough to make people excited.

"But our numbers are too small, do you think it is realistic to counterattack?" Albert asked.

"Rather than passively being beaten, we should counterattack." Duncan looked down at the scorched metal ground under his feet. "We are actually trapped animals. If we must die, why can't we bite the rebels hard before we die? Maybe someone will record our heroic deeds in the future."

This sentence contained deep pessimism. After hearing this, Albert frowned and lowered his head in meditation, but the result of his meditation was exactly the same as Duncan's.

In fact, everyone is still struggling until now, but they just don't want to sit on the ground and wait for death. No one really thinks that they can win.

If death is inevitable, it is indeed a wise choice to punch the rebel before dying.

Considering it all together, although there was no command to counterattack or other wars issued from the communicator, the answer is obvious, counterattack is inevitable.

"We will be like a shooting star, shining the most dazzling light in the night sky, even if this light lasts for a very short time." Duncan said very literary.

"What's a shooting star?" asked Albert. "I'm a nester, man, and if this thing called a star is in the sky, I've never seen it."

"Meteor is an astronomical phenomenon. It will shoot from the bottom of the hive to the sky, and then draw an arc as if shot by a slingshot." Duncan replied very seriously.

Albert suddenly realized and nodded: "I haven't seen a meteor, but I know that if tanks are used to bombard the rebels, the effect after the bodies of the rebels are blown up should be similar to the meteor you mentioned."

Duncan nodded in approval, thinking that it should have a similar effect, after all, he had only heard of Meteor but never seen it.

The two friends were silent for a while.

Duncan said suddenly, "It should be the same for us being blown up by the rebels."
