Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

After four Terra days passed, the day and night research and manufacturing finally came to fruition.

While the soldiers were carrying their heavy weapons to various parts of the fortress, Qin Mo ordered Gray and the other five to put on power armor and immediately go with him to the position due east to check the situation.

"Wait a minute, don't these power armors need to be tested?"

"No testing required."

Qin Mo walked at the front of the six-man team, advancing through the winding and twisting passages in the fortress.

Klein followed Qin Mo nervously and worriedly, followed by the elite soldiers he had just selected.

"I don't think we should be in such a hurry. We should at least test whether there is any problem with the power armor first."

"Test it with battle."

"Okay, okay, let's test it in battle."

Seeing that Qin Mo was confident and stubborn, Klein had no choice but to compromise and not mention testing the power armor for the time being.

But there is one more important thing.

"Gray and the others are just ordinary soldiers. The 44th Regiment has always been a logistics supply group and has not participated in many battles. Are you sure you want to only take them?" Klein said and glanced at Gray, then looked at the soldiers behind him, signaling to them Get ahead of the curve.

Qin Mo understood Klein's idea, but he would not bring the elite soldiers of the 47th Regiment, so he decisively rejected it: "Gray and the others may not be the strongest soldiers, but they must be the most determined, and they are shoulder to shoulder with me. Having fought before, they are more familiar with my fighting style.”

"Okay then." Klein felt that this reason was quite convincing, so he could only compromise again, stop and watch Qin Mo and the others leave.

It wasn't until Qin Mo opened a door on the wall at the end of the passage and was about to walk out that Klein suddenly shouted: "Don't confront the rebels head-on. We have few people after all!"

Qin Mo walked out of the fortress without saying a word, and the door he opened on the wall immediately closed.

But just as Klein sighed helplessly and turned around, another door opened in the wall.

Qin Mo returned to the fortress and reminded Klein: "There is a psionic suppressor in my room, which is the square metal box. If you are attacked and find a psyker, don't forget to turn on the psionic suppressor." Suppressor, but that thing needs to be charged, and it can only be effective for two days at a time."

"I can't forget it." Klein looked back at Qin Mo, "I formed a team of five people specifically responsible for guarding and using the suppressor."

"Then I'll be relieved." Qin Mo turned and left.

The door on the wall closed again, and the wall returned to a tight fit.

…

The power armor can maintain short-term flight. It only took two hours to cross a distance of 70 kilometers. The energy was exhausted during the journey and the battery was recharged once.

Since he was not sure whether the position due east still existed, when he got within two kilometers, Qin Mo ordered to advance on foot and released a drone to monitor the situation on the position.

"Does the position still exist?" Qin Mo glanced at the drone that quickly flew high into the sky, then turned to look at Gray who released it.

Gray didn't respond immediately. He cocked his neck and stared at nothing in front of him, looking a little stupid.

Gray was checking the HUD screen integrated on the visor, staring at the lower right corner, where the drone's perspective screen was projected.

The position was filled with smoke and no one could be seen at all.

"Life scan." Qin Mo reminded Gray, "This is a unique function of the reconnaissance drone."

Gray immediately said: "Life scan."

After activating the life scanning function, the drone directly marks the detected life on the HUD with green punctuation points, and displays the data in the lower left corner.

Humans: 5723 people.

Mutated species: 9938 people.

Analysis: Based on the current rate of reduction of pure human beings in the scanning area, it is expected that the defenders here will be killed in one hour and twenty-one minutes. (for reference only)

"The position hasn't been breached yet, but it's coming soon." Gray raised his hand and made a few strokes in the air, and then asked in confusion: "I remember you said that the system of this power armor has the ability to share information. How does it operate?"

"Reach out your hand and click on the combat mode in the lower left corner as if the HUD screen is in front of you. Information sharing will be forced on." Qin Mo gave the instruction helplessly.

He originally had a good idea, integrating an electronic system into the power armor, which could analyze the battle situation, monitor the status of the power armor, and share information.

As a result, this thing is really a bit esoteric for ordinary big-headed soldiers, and since changing the action mode and combat mode of the power armor is something that requires careful consideration, it cannot be changed by voice command, which seems very cumbersome to Gray and the others.

"Done." After Gray awkwardly clicked on combat mode, all the information he saw was shared with other power armors, and other people wearing power armors also saw the results of the life scan.

Everyone can clearly see the location of friendly forces and the positions of all rebels on the position.

…

The difference in numbers between the two warring parties on the position was not very large, but the rebels still had an overwhelming advantage over the planetary defense forces.

This is thanks to the aberrations on the Rebels' side.

Aberrants are very strong individuals among the Genestealers. They use industrial equipment to fight and use powerful force to make up for their major deficiencies in intelligence.

When the aberrants launched their attack, the position was filled with smoke by the rebels, and the Planetary Defense Force was forced into hand-to-hand combat.

Until the six-man group from the 44th Regiment appeared.

Before the power armor landed, the powerful momentum emitted by the jet pack had blown away the smoke on the position.

The two sides in the melee looked at the six unknown people in the center of the battlefield in shock. When they saw the double-headed eagle on the scepter, the rebels realized that they were definitely not their own.

The rebels did not attack rashly, but looked carefully at the six people wearing power armor. The position that was originally full of shouts of killing has quieted down.

"Death..." One of the largest aberrations held the head it had pulled from an unknown person in its hand and looked at Qin Mo fiercely.

Qin Mo turned to look at Gray, who nodded in understanding.

"For the emperor." Gray rushed out from Qin Mo first and headed straight for the aberration directly in front.

The thick power armor automatically adjusts the nozzle angle of the jet pack when running to provide thrust for the power armor. This makes the power armor heavy but not slow.

"Ah!" The aberration threw away the head in his hand and charged at Gray with a sledgehammer raised high.

The two tall and strong individuals all rushed towards each other. In the minds of the bystanders, they had already imagined what might happen next.

Either the metal and machinery were superior, and the aberrant body was knocked away.

Either the body that has evolved to power is better, smashing the power armor and the people inside into pieces.

Even at this moment, Qin Mo himself thought so.

Until Gray rushed to a position five steps away from the aberration and suddenly turned on the gravity shield.

While the stones and debris around his body were instantly flattened, the unknown aberration already held a sledgehammer high and jumped hard, falling towards Gray.

Paji——

The aberrations that jumped within the scope of the gravity shield were slapped to death by an invisible force, leaving a pool of smoothed "mud" on the ground, like a mosquito that was slapped to death.

Gray's forward speed slowed down briefly and then quickly increased to the limit. The jet pack's nozzle spit out flames backwards, pushing the entire power armor to run at high speed.
