Warhammer III

Chapter 41: The Intelligence Control Corps and the Undead Corps



UR-025 and other artificial intelligence machines disguised themselves as damaged mechanical equipment to avoid the attack of the Tyranids, but they did not expect a passing Tyranid worm to come and eat the metal shell of the beast-type machine.

The beast-type machine killed the Tyranid creatures during the transfer, and the pheromones of the Tyranid creatures were left on its metal shell.

In order to prevent his companions from being injured, UR-025 immediately opened fire to eliminate the Tyranid worm. The nearby Tyranid creatures then gathered around, and UR-025 led his companions to start eliminating the group of Tyranid creatures.

After eliminating the enemy, UR-025 found that three Astartes came here and walked towards him. His flexible movements immediately disguised as the behavior of a slow machine.

"God of All Machines, the 20th Intelligent Control Squad of the Third Battalion of the Intelligent Control Corps under the Forge World Ruins Star, belongs to Data Craftsman UR-02, numbered UR-025, has activated Explorer Mode, and is here to investigate the Blackstone Fortress under the order of the Forge Director, Great Sage Trivicon."

UR-025 played the recording that had been prepared earlier, trying to deceive the Astartes in front of him, but his words were full of loopholes. There was no Intelligent Control Corps on the Forge World Ruins Star.

Tai Yue smiled slightly and did not expose UR-025's lie. When the Ninth Brotherhood went to the Pacific Star Region to find the Blackstone Fortress, they saved the Forge World Ruins Star from the Chaos War Gang and were familiar with the Forge Director Trivicon and his troops.

The Intelligent Control Corps is not an Iron Man Corps. They are weak artificial intelligence and have some wetware components. As one of the oldest branches of the Mechanicus, they are mainly responsible for deploying fully autonomous combat robots for combat and support missions, aiming to help the Imperial Armed Forces on the battlefield.

The technology involved in the battle robots of the Cybernetic Corps is indeed derived from the Iron Man, and their birth can be traced back to before the birth of the Human Empire.

At that time, Mars was an independent empire ruled by technical priests. After the Iron Man Rebellion, early technical experts had signed the Crimson Agreement to prohibit the creation of general artificial intelligence robots, but some people still tried to create artificial life again. They reproduced some artificial intelligence technologies based on the broken remains of the Iron Man, and a large number of weak artificial intelligence robots using silicon-based brains were produced.

After Mars and Terra established an alliance, the intelligence of these robots was further restricted. They needed different chips to perform different tasks, such as exploration chips, reconnaissance chips, combat chips, etc., which were replaced by data craftsmen.

During the Horus Heresy, the Dark Mechanic betrayed the Empire with his subordinate Cybernetic Corps, and most of the Cybernetic Corps of the Loyal Mechanic Church were also contaminated by the power of Chaos. Therefore, by the 42nd Millennium, only a few independent Forge Worlds had Cybernetic Corps, and they were rarely deployed on the battlefield.

Taiyue came straight to UR-025 and gave an order as a technical sergeant:

"UR-025, we have controlled the Blackstone Fortress, your exploration mission has ended, now please bring your partner and follow me to the core area of ​​the Blackstone Fortress."

Faced with Taiyue's request, UR-025 was at a loss and didn't know how to answer. His silicon-based brain analyzed that his identity might have been exposed, but he was puzzled that the other party did not attack him directly.

"The exploration chip is activated by the casting director, the great sage Trivicon. After the mission is interrupted, we will automatically return to the casting world."

After UR-025 finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to run away with his artificial intelligence partner.

"In the name of the God of All Machines, I will directly shut down your exploration chip, and you will be under my jurisdiction temporarily!"

Taiyue showed the God of All Machines Power Axe he got after graduating from Mars, and stopped UR-025. The mechanical tentacles of the power armor extended to the chest of the iron man, where there was a camouflage chip.

UR-025 hesitated for a moment. After watching the technical sergeant in front of him take off his camouflage chip, he thought that his identity might not be exposed.

Considering that the other party had three Astartes, including think tanks, technical sergeants and dreadnoughts, and there were countless Tyranid creatures around, UR-025 finally decided to continue the disguise and followed Taiyue into the inner area of ​​the Blackstone Fortress.

Taiyue and others successfully brought UR-025 and his companions to the warehouse of the No. 7 Psychic Turret. There were dreadnoughts guarding here, and he was not worried that these iron men would run away.

"Emperor, do you want to take down the iron men now?"

Jerome asked using telepathic communication.

"Don't rush to deal with it now. For artificial intelligence, it's best for Ms. Sisela to negotiate with them. They should have many secrets."

Taiyue has already thought of a countermeasure. Sisela not only understands the iron men, but also has the psychic power to control machinery. She is the most suitable person to deal with these iron men.

At the same time, the spindle drone asked its companions through an encrypted message:

"What should we do? The people of the Empire really regard us as iron lumps of the Mechanicus and have kept us in storage."

"May the God of All Machines bless us. We have just avoided the Tyranid creatures. We will have a chance to escape again."

Although UR-025 said so, he began to doubt again, wondering if this was a conspiracy of cunning humans.

"Too many things have happened recently, more than what happened in the fortress in 10,000 years. I don't know anything!"

The beast-shaped machine said as it lay down, and the nano-machine polymer sphere rolled to his side

After settling Iron Man UR-025, Tai Yue immediately returned to the command center. Due to the fierce attack of Yin Yangdeng's fleet, the Hive Tentacles could not get biomass replenishment. The defeated Hive Tentacles now fled the planet and headed to the surrounding areas of the galaxy.

Yin Yangdeng's fleet did not pursue the fleeing Tyranids, but docked around the Blackstone Fortress and sent landing craft to enter the Blackstone Fortress.

"They don't have to land by force, open the entrance of the Blackstone Fortress and let the Eldar in!"

Tai Yue asked Varda to open the entrance of the Blackstone Fortress and change the arrangement of nearby buildings to guide the Tyranids in the Blackstone Fortress to the entrance area.

Yin Yangdeng has far more dead people than living people. They rely more on the Nether Warriors than any other Ark World. The Soul Prophet guides the souls in the infinite circuit to the soul stone, and then puts them into the spirit bone armor to awaken the ghost warriors.

For other Craft Worlds, the core of their army is the Aspect Warriors and Guardians (Aspect Warriors are similar to professional soldiers, Guardians are similar to militias), and the Nether Warriors are only auxiliary units. Yin Yangden is just the opposite. Their troops can be said to be an undead army.

After the entrance to the Blackstone Fortress was opened, Yin Yangden's undead troops poured into the Blackstone Fortress.

The Nether Blades, holding battle axes or long swords, rushed to the Tyranid creatures first. Their soul stones emitted a dazzling light, and the memory of the destruction of their homes kept replaying in their minds. Their anger would only stop when all the Tyranid creatures were killed.

The Nether Guards followed closely behind, holding psychic cannons, and their concentrated psychic power could tear the subspace and directly exile the Tyranid Zerg.

The tall Nether Lords also joined the battlefield. Their wraithbone armor was decorated with glittering gems and Eldar runes. They harvested Tyranid creatures with scattered laser cannons, missile launchers, dart cannons and other weapons in their hands. Only the souls of true Eldar heroes have enough psychic power to control the Nether Lords.

Finally, there are the rare but extremely powerful Nether Knights. They need twin Eldar separated by Yin and Yang to drive them. The common soul ensures that each twin can communicate accurately at any time, and as a whole, they can flexibly control heavy psychic cannons and psychic swords to fight against Tyranid monsters.

(It can be simply understood: Nether Blade and Nether Guard are benchmarked against Terminator armor, Nether Lord is benchmarked against Dreadnought mecha, and Nether Knight is benchmarked against Titan.)
