The original Dreadnoughts were intended for dying Space Marines.
The Dreadnought Mecha is their new life, their body, but also their grave and their coffin. The living nervous system and electronic biochemical fibers inside the Dreadnought Mecha completely connect the human nerves with the magnetic muscles of the mecha. Once a creature is connected to the Dreadnought Mecha, he will never be able to leave the metal womb of the Dreadnought Mecha. His destiny is to fight in this walking coffin until the last moment.
Although the technology of electronic nerve beams has improved a lot since then, it is still difficult to separate the human body from the mecha once the connection is completed.
Because this was originally a creation of mechanical ascension.
These warriors who were selected to be docked into the Dreadnoughts all underwent a ritual of "pure spiritual purification," which meant that they would no longer have physical desires and could only consume nutrient solutions rationed from the outside.
The sense of pain is weakened, the senses are enhanced, the lifespan is prolonged, the body will gradually degenerate, but the spirit will further merge with the fearless mecha.
The final product was one of the creations of mechanical ascension.
A top warrior with human thinking, rich combat awareness, but without any physical weaknesses.
Only by gradually abandoning all physiological needs can we achieve true mechanical ascension!
As for the final step of mechanical ascension, it is to completely seal the brain, soul and consciousness into this horrible mechanical can. However, the price paid for [mechanized thinking] is too high. Even the ancient lost empire did not proceed to the final procedure of mechanical ascension.
There are three stages of mechanical ascension, and the Dreadnought is a war machine created in the last step of the first stage.
boom!
Just as Su Ziyu was observing these fearless mechas, their extremely fierce confrontation with the orc leader had already begun.
Completely different from the exoskeleton armor worn by other soldiers, the combat capability displayed by the Dreadnought mecha is completely different. Although the appearance of the mecha is quite bulky, the speed at which they move is quite amazing. With the help of the rocket thrusters behind it, the Dreadnought mecha almost instantly turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the green-skinned giant in front.
Bang!
The collision that occurred at the moment of the fight produced a shock wave, which directly knocked the nearby soldiers to the ground.
The weight of the Dreadnought is only about 12 tons, which can be said to be quite light among many heavy armors. However, the energy device used inside it is a micro reactor, not the nuclear battery used in conventional heavy exoskeletons. You can imagine how terrifying their power burst is.
A power sword emitting a faint blue electromagnetic beam slashed towards the throat of the green giant. The moment it touched the opponent's body, a visible energy collision burst out with dazzling electric light.
Blood splattered.
The power sword broke through the orc leader's WAAAGH force field, leaving a deep wound on its neck that was visible to the bone.
But the orc leader didn't care about it. He reached out and wiped the blood from his neck. The cut flesh was visibly regenerating and healing quickly. The exposed organs on his chest were completely different from those of humans. It was not a regular lung structure, but a chest cavity that looked like a spore.
"Fearless!" The orc leader's ancient memory was awakened, and it seemed that he had fought with such an iron lump before.
In a galaxy far, far away, it was just a bomb boy at that time.
Because it had the chance to kill such a Fearless, it directly advanced to become the boss of the orcs. From then on, it was unstoppable and made rapid progress all the way. It also destroyed another group of orcs that were competing with it for power, and finally grew into a powerful orc BOSS.
The power claw on its left hand was modified using parts from the Dreadnought.
"WAAAGH!!!"
The orc leader raised his head and let out a roar. The next second even Su Ziyu felt the obvious psychic power. However, that was not real psychic power, but the manifestation of the orc WAAAGH force field. Its performance in the material plane was extremely close to psychic power.
Take one step forward.
The resulting shock wave instantly blew away the nearby soldiers, and even the steel body of the Dreadnought mecha shook.
--trample!
--charge!
The figure of the green-skinned giant almost turned into an afterimage as it rushed forward. On its head was an armored helmet that looked a bit wild and simple, with a sharp metal horn on the top. When it collided with the Dreadnought in front of it, it instantly broke through the extremely hard armor and pierced directly into the shoulder of the Dreadnought. Accompanied by the terrifying kinetic impact, the Dreadnought was directly picked up by it, and after flying more than ten meters in the air, it landed with a bang, and no movement was heard again.
At this time, other people nearby saw the blood on the power claw of the orc leader's left hand. At the moment of the collision, he actually pierced into the cockpit with his sharp power claw.
“Too weak!”
"You are not fearless!..." The orc opened his mouth and spoke a strange language, but everyone present could understand it, even those who were watching the full projection could understand it.
This is the power of psychic energy.
It was responded with a series of dazzling laser beams. Almost at the moment when the orc leader launched the attack, the surrounding dreadnoughts also completed charging at the same time. These old-style dreadnoughts were equipped with multi-barreled melta guns and twin laser cannons.
Conventional exoskeleton armor simply cannot provide enough energy. Only the reactor of the Dreadnought can supply sufficient energy.
Boom boom boom!
The light beam fired from the melta gun caused the temperature in the area to rise rapidly, and when it reached a certain critical point, it directly caused a large-scale explosion. The penetrating power of the twin laser cannon was quite amazing, and the energy beam directly left a bottomless pit on the ground.
"WAAAGH!!!"
The green-skinned giant's slightly incomplete burly body rushed out from the flames of the explosion. It turned around, waving its serrated blade and pounced on the nearest Dreadnought. The Dreadnought also instantly ejected its power sword, and the rocket thrusters behind it burst into flames. The two figures crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and crossed each other in less than a second.
Phew.
Green blood gushed out from the orc leader's chest like a fountain, leaving a shocking scar on the nearly ten-centimeter-thick external armor. The blood soaked the ground. Its figure slowly fell down, and its extremely strong body twitched and gradually died.
The other side.
The figure of the Dreadnought also froze in place, and then it slowly knelt on one knee as if it had lost its strength. Its head, which was completely protected by metal, drooped down bit by bit, and finally its huge body collapsed with a loud bang.
The entire battlefield was dead silent.
The other Dreadnoughts silently walked towards their comrade in front, reached out to lift up his steel body, and walked to the rear of the battlefield with his body and grave.
perish together.
Su Ziyu silently looked at the holographic projection in front of him, muttering in his heart: "Legendary power..."
The orc leader was undoubtedly a legendary warrior, and the warriors equipped with fearless mechas also reached legendary combat power. However, unlike other worlds, the weapons in this world were too destructive, so even if the most resistant legendary warriors fought, the outcome could be decided in a split second.
Whether it's the orc leader's terrifying brute force and WAAAGH force field, or the fearless mecha's super explosive power and power sword, the destructive power generated in an instant is quite astonishing.
In this kind of battle, one wrong step could mean the difference between life and death!
The Orcs' first wave of exploratory attacks was eventually blocked.
However, the short-lived victory did not make anyone happy, because they found that the enemy's strength was still as strong as the legend said. Even an ordinary orc boy with a machete could deal with three or four Astra Militarum soldiers. As for the other bomb boys, psychic boys and orc bosses, they made the soldiers of the empire feel a huge pressure. The strange WAAAGH force field was one thing, but the Ork orcs' terrifying physical fitness was also shocking.
To use a simple example, even the most ordinary orc machete boy can use his body to withstand a wave of heavy machine gun fire.
"Dissect their bodies."
"Collect the weapons on the battlefield and take them back to the laboratory for analysis." Queen Isabella said calmly, her eyes fixed on the sky.
The orcs' weapons are extremely crude, exuding a wild steampunk vibe.
But their power is even more amazing than imagined, from the small Fart Pistol to the large Super Submachine Gun, to various kinds of weird weapons, such as the shock gun, dimensional gun, Fart Cannon, etc., they all look like products that are about to be scrapped, but in the hands of the orcs they can still exert huge power.
These weapons were all imitated from spoils of war captured on the battlefield.
Most of the weapons are similar to human weapons, including some power claws, serrated swords, exoskeleton armor, etc. They are imitations of human equipment at first glance, and are extremely crudely made, but still have powerful combat capabilities.
Another part of the strange weapons may come from the legendary Eldar. Dimensional shock weapons have always been the signature of the Eldar.
The Orks used their unique thinking to imitate these powerful weapons.
"Send someone to clean up the battlefield!" a man dressed as a general said in a deep voice.
On the battlefield.
Some strange spores had appeared at some point in the places covered with the blood of the orcs. They looked like small mushrooms. As the orders from the command room were given, teams of soldiers in protective clothing soon came out. They held flamethrowers and spewed out fire dragons that were tens of meters long. The scorching heat directly burned the flesh and blood on the battlefield and also directly destroyed the spore life that had just developed underground.
Boom!
There were bursts of explosions.
Small mushroom clouds rose in the distance. They were the fuel-air bombs that were launched. The rising flames were accompanied by terrifying high temperatures, which completely melted the sand and gravel on the ground.
The hair, blood and flesh left behind by the Orcs will hatch new Orcs, and a new hatching cavity will soon appear under the spore mushrooms, and inside it are the newly born Orcs. The Empire has long collected intelligence on this, and only by completely incinerating them with high temperatures of flames can the activity of these spores be killed.
at the same time.
On the other side of the continent, the brutal battle is still going on.
In a huge insect nest covering an area of nearly 50 square kilometers, countless hunters are rushing towards the central area of the nest like a tide. The area has long been soaked with the blood of the insects, and there are mountains of insect corpses everywhere.
Behind the mountain-like corpse of the thunder beast, an extremely burly orc giant jumped out, kicked out directly, and kicked the other thunder beast back several meters with a dull bang, then raised his hand and aimed the muzzle of the cannon on his arm at the flying dragon in the sky.
Bang bang bang!
The bullets exploded in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen flying dragons let out a mournful cry and fell from the sky.
“Is this the Swarm?”
“So weak!”
With unruly rage emanating from his blood-red pupils, the burly orc leader suddenly leaped out and rushed directly to the central insect nest base.
Behind it, hundreds of orc bosses roared and rushed forward quickly with all kinds of cold weapons and firearms, directly breaking through the encirclement of tens of thousands of hunters, and following the pace of the orc leader, rushed towards the base.
The corpses of the Zerg were almost piled up into a mountain. After only a short confrontation, the casualty ratio of both sides was close to 1:100.
In other words, it would take nearly a hundred Zerg combat units to replace one green-skinned orc.
Crushing with physical strength.
Regeneration recovery crushing.
Equip weapons to crush.
Even if the overwhelming swarm of Zerg units could break through their WAAAGH force field, they would still have to face the exoskeleton armor equipped by these orcs and their own extremely terrifying regenerative recovery abilities.
The hunters' claws had never been so weak. Biting on the orcs' heavy armor that was nearly ten centimeters behind them was like scratching an itch.
Insect nest base.
An incubation chamber that is nearly sixty meters long is beating slowly and powerfully, like an enormous heart, extracting nutrients from the entire base bit by bit.
Suddenly.
A cold light flashed by.
With a loud bang, the orc leader's advance was stopped, and a hunter covered in shell with a metallic luster emerged. Its scarlet eyes looked at its broken fangs, and then looked at the green-skinned giant in front of it who was wiping the blood off his face without a care.
In the darkness, some strange-looking insects crawled out.
They look like a combination of organic and inorganic creations, and their body structure is completely different from other Zergs. They have slight humanoid features, and their shells emit a metallic luster. Some Zergs also have bone-like cold weapon organs extending from their bodies, and the cavity structure of some Zergs is completely solidified, forming a kind of biochemical gun similar to a living body.
"Tyranids?!"
The orc leader finally showed a hint of surprise, and then a hint of fanatical fighting spirit surged out. He roared excitedly: "Thousands of years!..."
"I never thought I'd run into an evolved Tyranid!"
"The orcs have been waiting for you for a long time."
"WAAAGH!!!"
A deafening roar sounded.
All the orcs instantly entered a state of extreme excitement, and then the WAAAGH force field on their bodies formed a strange psychic wave, which transmitted some kind of information in a resonant way.
In a moment.
The whole world was in turmoil. There were huge warships appearing in the sky without knowing when. They were entering the atmosphere of the planet, and their target was the imperial capital in the distance and the huge insect nest here.
“It’s too late!”
"Awaken [Leviathan]!!!"
A powerful wave of psychic energy erupted instantly, and the entire insect nest began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.
