Warhammer III

Chapter 40: UR-025 and his companions



"Is this to establish cooperation with the Eldar people of Yin Yangden's Ark? The First Fleet is still fighting the Tyranids outside the galaxy. If they defeat the enemy, they will also come to support our Death Watch and the Alien Tribunal. It is not easy to communicate. People, most importantly, there are very few Eldar people who can be trusted.”

Jerome raised questions about this arrangement of Taiyue. He knew the capriciousness of the Eldar better than anyone else.

"Just let the Yin Yangden Eldar come in to destroy the invading Tyranids. They have rich experience in fighting against the Tyranids. They have faced the Naga Hive Fleet and the Kraken Hive Fleet. Whether they want to cooperate depends on the situation of both parties."

Taiyue shook his head and explained, and then expressed his worries and opinions:

"Tiamat is only a smaller Hive Fleet. The biggest enemy we face is the new tentacles of the Leviathan Hive Fleet on the western border of the Pacific Star Territory. If this Hive Fleet tentacles enter the Sun Star Territory, they will be human beings. In the empire’s biggest crisis, uniting the Eldar and even the Orcs is an acceptable strategy when necessary.”

The Chaos Demons and the Tyranids are both great enemies of humans and the Eldar. The Eldar Death Army once worked with the Imperial forces to awaken the Primarch and thwarted the conspiracy of the Chaos Evil God. Now it is also possible to jointly deal with the Tyranids, of course with the Eldar. Cooperation is bound to involve conflict and betrayal.

The Yin Yangden Eldar are the key to cooperation, not only because their Ark World was destroyed by the Tyranids and their people were massacred by the Tyranids. Compared with other Ark Worlds, they do not have much hatred for humans and will not attack the human world at will. , can be regarded as a partner that can be cooperated with.

After Tai Yue finished speaking, others no longer had any objections, and everyone discussed and determined the next action plan.

After the combat meeting, Taiyue left the command center with Jerome and Adrian and went to capture Iron Man UR-025. Under Varda's warning, the others eliminated the Tyranids that entered the inner area of ​​Blackstone Fortress.

The three encountered numerous Tyranid creatures and aliens scurrying around along the way, but with their mobility and psychic power, they quickly eliminated the enemies and soon reached the area where Iron Man UR-025 appeared.

"I don't know where UR-025 is now. They didn't leave this area. They must have hidden in the blind spot of the surveillance."

Varda told Taiyue the latest information through psychic communication, and now Taiyue and others can only rely on themselves to find it.

"Thank you, Ms. Varda, leave the rest to us!"

After Tai Yue finished speaking, the three began to look for clues about Iron Man's actions.

Soon after, they encountered Kroot mercenaries who were chased by a group of Tyranids. The latter were humanoid creatures imported from birds. They had hard beaks and long feathers on their heads. Under their rough skin, they It has strong and strong limbs, holding a long and narrow rifle with a sharp blade at the muzzle.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor, purify the aliens!"

Adrian controlled the fearless mecha and immediately began to fire indiscriminately. Without Taiyue and Jerome taking action, both aliens were eliminated within a minute.

"We have a genetic reconnaissance nerve that can obtain information through eating. There should be no parasites in the Kroot alien brain."

Tai Yue pointed to the dead alien and said to Jerome that there were too many symbionts in the Tyranids and they could not be eaten randomly, but the Kroot were different. They might have seen Iron Man UR-025. .

Tai Yue himself had basically never used the function of this organ, and wanted Brother Jerome to eat and investigate it.

A Kroot who was still alive seemed to understand what Taiyue said. It fell into complete despair. As a race that devoured other alien corpses to obtain its genetic characteristics, it did not expect that it would not be devoured by the Tyranids this time. Will be eaten by the Astartes of the Human Empire.

"Grand Master, I would rather eat ceramic nutritious porridge than eat alien reconnaissance information. I will try to use psychic energy to directly read the brain memories of these aliens."

Jerome said with a disgusted expression, wondering if he had eaten it before or if he simply had mysophobia.

All of his daily necessities and weapons are the cleanest in the Ninth Brotherhood, and his mysophobia has become a consensus among the Ninth Brotherhood.

Jerome walked towards the Kroot who was still alive, reached out and touched the head of the alien, and when he activated his mind-reading witchcraft, the fragmented influence of the Mo Lake entered his mind.

The Kroot trembled for a while and then died completely. Jerome quickly put the memory fragments together, then stood up and said:

"They were mercenaries recruited by a human navigator, but their employer was killed by other aliens in the Blackstone Fortress. The Blackstone Fortress hid for a long time after it was controlled by us. Not long ago, UR-025 tried to hire them and was rejected."

This further proves that UR-025 is indeed Iron Man. The purpose of the Kroot becoming mercenaries is more to obtain different genes. It is completely reasonable to refuse the employment of Iron Man.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, that Iron Man shouldn't have left yet!"

Jerome immediately took Taiyue and Adrian to the location where the Klute and UR-025 came into contact.

The three of them shuttled through the narrow and dark corridors. From time to time, one or two Tyranids would sneak up and attack, but they were all burned to ashes by Jerome's psychic flames.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The dense explosion quickly attracted the attention of the three people. In a small space, they finally found Iron Man UR-025 and his automatic mechanical partner.

They are now surrounded by a group of Tyranid creatures. UR-025 is almost five meters tall. The detector on its head emits a red light to alert the surroundings, and uses automatic cannons to destroy approaching Tyranid creatures.

Above his head is a spindle drone that is more than two meters long. Its built-in anti-gravity engine allows it to float in the air and scan the battlefield environment. The beast-shaped robot in the distance is nearly three meters long and uses metal claws and sharp teeth to kill. With the Tyranids.

"Fight both sides, or should we destroy the Tyranids first?"

Jerome asked quietly.

"Observe first before taking action. The Tyranid creatures here are a bit abnormal."

Shortly after Tai Yue finished speaking, a large number of Tyranid creatures fell to the ground in pain. After struggling for a few times, they collapsed like deflated balls and died completely.

Something seemed to crawl out of the corpse, and after a moment it gathered into a silver sphere. The silver sphere then emitted regular light, as if it was thinking.

"Nanomechanical polymers!"

Tai Yue took a breath. His adoptive father once told about the weapons used in the dark technological era, including micro-machines that could swallow the surface of a planet in a short time. He didn't believe it at the time, but he didn't expect to encounter it here.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, they look difficult to deal with. Do you still want to carry out the plan to capture Iron Man UR-025 alive?"

Adrian asked.

"Courtesy first, then attack. As the owners of Blackstone Fortress, we can invite them as guests."

Taiyue walked forward directly and faced Iron Man UR-025.
