Inside the magnificent palace.

Su Ziyu had a strange silver-white crystal watch on his hand. A large piece of data was projected in front of him. As he flipped through the screen, some extremely muscular green-skinned orcs appeared on it. These were all data that the empire had collected. In its heyday, the empire had fought against a war group of green-skinned orcs. It was a small-scale WAAAGH expedition. The empire, which was just preparing for interstellar expansion, was hit head-on by the orcs and was forced to abandon its original interstellar colonization plan and instead began to brew a psychic ascension plan.

Angel Shar was lying on a soft golden-red sofa with her legs crossed and a glass of red wine in her hand. Not far away were two pretty but nervous maids.

"What a rotten system!" Angel Shar's eyes occasionally flashed with a glimmer of light, which was her reading unknown information. She shook her red wine glass and said, "Human resources are seriously wasted. If such a system did not have the legacy of the ancient empire, it would be difficult to enter the era of interstellar civilization."

Su Ziyu was not interested in discussing the empire's system with her. After turning the page, he looked up and asked, "What do you think of the Ork's WAAAGH force field?"

The blond angel in front of him raised his head and glanced at Su Ziyu, then slowly said, "Mind-oriented force field."

"I don't know how the beings who created them did it. I have only seen this ability to distort reality in some subspaces."

"But in the material plane, I have never seen a species that can distort reality."

Su Ziyu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said with a serious expression: "Yes. This kind of power is too incredible."

"The odds aren't in our favor."

The most troublesome thing about orcs is not their terrifying vitality, nor that new orcs can grow out of their corpses and blood scattered on the ground, but their innate WAAAGH force field, which is a supernatural force that can distort reality.

And the more orcs there are, the stronger this force will be.

For example, if there is only a small team of orcs and their weapons are broken, they find some guns, but the magazines of the guns are too small to fit large-caliber bullets. The orc boys can just chop and expand them themselves so that they can use them normally.

Because 'we think this is enough', it can really be used.

But if this gun fell into the hands of humans, it would inevitably explode, but in the hands of orcs it could keep exploding.

The more orcs there are, the more terrifying this WAAAGH force field will be. When the number reaches a certain level, "Let's think together that this pile of scrap metal can be used to build a Gundam", then the technicians can really build a Gundam.

How to fight this?

This ability is simply a bit unsolvable. Although the WAAAGH force field has an upper limit, they keep thinking about it, and the Suzi fish can't see any chance of winning at all.

"The interference of the idealistic force field on reality is limited." Shar pondered for a moment and said, "Distorting reality and interfering with reality are the powers of the gods. These orcs should not be able to use this power without limit. The scope of the WAAAGH force field should not exceed the upper limit of their understanding of the world."

"From the data, their force field only enhances the power of external objects, but does not create things out of thin air."

Shar's meaning is simple.

The orcs' WAAAGH force field means "I think this broken gun in my hand can blow up the tank", not "I think I should have a gun in my hand that can directly blow up the tank at this time."

If it's the latter, then basically there's no need to fight, just run away.

"Do you have any good plans?" Su Ziyu asked, looking up.

"We don't have enough information about these orcs, so we don't have any good plans for now." The blond angel in front of him shook his head and said, "But we should pay attention to their numbers. The number of orcs is the key to determining their strength."

"On the battlefield, reduce their numbers as much as possible."

Su Ziyu lowered his head upon hearing this, rubbing his forehead as he continued to flip through the information in front of him, and asked casually, "How is Isabella doing?"

Angel Shar's eyes flashed with a glimmer, and she whispered, "She has gathered those rebels."

"Heading to the Cathedral at this time."

Su Ziyu was a little envious of Shar's ability to directly read information, but he couldn't do it at the moment and could only rely on perception to obtain information.

"How much time do we have left?" Su Ziyu turned off the projection in front of him and looked up.

Shar closed his eyes and paused for a moment, then continued, "Less than 18 hours."

"Isabella is gathering the Empire's troops."

At this point, Shar placed a finger on her temple and whispered, "She has ordered all the nuclear silos to be activated. It looks like she is ready to use tactical nuclear weapons."

Throw a nuclear bomb? Su Ziyu was silent for a while, then asked, "Will it work?"

"It has limited effect." The blond angel shook his head and said, "Civilizations in the interstellar era basically have the ability to deal with nuclear weapons."

at the same time.

While Su Ziyu was looking through a large amount of information and trying to find a way to deal with the Orcs, the factory areas and military camps in the imperial capital also started operating at full capacity.

Queen Isabella, who had just returned from the cathedral, almost immediately brought people to the factory area. In front of her were tens of thousands of sealed old mechas. Being old did not mean that they were not powerful enough, but it was because these heavy iron lumps had very obvious defects. The empire took the path of psychic ascension in the early days, so these products of mechanical ascension were directly abandoned and sealed at the bottom of the factory area.

"Your Majesty."

"Do we really need to use these Dreadnoughts?"

"Have those green-skinned orcs really come back?" Next to Queen Isabella was a middle-aged man dressed like an aristocrat, with neatly combed hair, wearing medieval-style aristocratic clothing, and a laser pistol on his waist. Behind him were some people who basically looked like aristocrats.

Queen Isabella turned her head with a cold look and said expressionlessly, "Let's get started."

She did not answer the nobles' questions, but gave orders directly. With the sound of footsteps, teams of burly soldiers took off their shirts and walked into the workshop in front of them.

These tough soldiers all have special tattoos on their bodies, which are the symbols of the Astra Militarum. All of them are selected elites and have absolute loyalty to the Empire. They came to the sealed mechas under the leadership of the sergeants, and then hundreds of medical troops in white coats came over, holding various instruments in their hands, and began to test these soldiers.

"Testing completed."

"Begin accessing the nervous system!..."

"Activate the electronic biochemical fibers of the Dreadnought!...Activate the magnetic muscle nerve connection!...Load the personal control terminal!..."

The cold mechanical scalpel flashed a cold light.

The medics loaded the medical assistance arms onto their shoulders, and then precision surgical tools emerged. They cut open the soldiers' muscle tissue, found the nerve bundles in their bodies, and began to implant some tiny electronic components. They then connected them to the electronic biochemical fibers extending from the tall Dreadnought-class mecha in front of them and injected gene repair fluid.

When the neural connection is completely completed, these mechas will become one with them, and they can control the mechas as flexibly as controlling their own bodies, but these heavy steel mechas will also become prisons that bind them.

The ultimate definition of mechanical ascension is the complete mechanization of the human body.

The dreadnought armor is different from the Space Marine armor. The latter is a modification of the human body's tip, extending a black shell to control the space armor, but ordinary people simply cannot do this and do not have enough resources. Therefore, if they want to perfectly control the mecha, they can only perform electronic neural docking, and the two must be completely connected through surgery.

boom.

Heavy footsteps were heard.

There are many types of bolters, but currently there is only the [Expedition Type] bolter model within the Empire.

certainly.

The weapons of the Dreadnought are not limited to these. The arms of the 12-ton Dreadnought are equipped with plasma cannons and extended power weapons, which are enough to deal with any close combat and long-range combat. The energy used inside the mecha is a thermal reactor, which can carry out long-term high-intensity combat. In the past, this type of mecha was once the standard for space warriors, but later it was gradually replaced by newer interstellar armor.

Bang.

Queen Isabella did not stay until the end of the entire transformation process. After staying in this transformation workshop for a while, she entered another factory area, where there were even larger and more ferocious steel monsters.

Of course, the empire's heritage is not limited to these dreadnoughts.

You have to know that the empire faced two choices at the beginning, one was psychic ascension and the other was mechanical ascension. Although the empire finally chose the path of psychic ascension, mechanical ascension as a backup option also left a rich legacy.

And now is the time to use that inheritance!
