Chapter 629: A Morbid Pursuit of "Being Alive"

"Legion Commander."

At this time, Cortana used the projection system of the original body's armor to image herself on the left side of the original body, and continued to maintain a calm appearance and reported:

"According to the recent scan results, the Farah named Xun Baraher has already sent its consciousness to the island, and I...even if I use the world engine as a relay, I can't break into the island.

And all the landing troops, including the 300 warriors and the original bodies Vulcan, Anakin and other personnel, are in a disconnected state. "

Speaking of this, Cortana also had her own insights and reminded: "Legion Commander, based on my analysis after invading the internal network of the Opatara Dynasty, I can know that Farah has a very strong fighting body, even if he is a legion If the leader solves it himself, he will also judge it as a difficult matter..."

"So?" John interrupted Cortana coldly and asked back, "What's your point of view?"

Hearing this, Cortana took a deep breath and continued: "So, Legion Commander, if you don't go to the island in person, the offensive faced by the 1st Battalion will increase exponentially.

The most fatal thing, and one that is extremely detrimental to the development of the Legion, is that if the two young Primarchs die due to the orders of the Legion Commander, then..."

Cortana didn't continue.

As an intelligent artificial intelligence with a Legion-level intelligence, Cortana does have a considerable degree of "emotions", but she does not "pity" or "worry" about Vokkan and Anakin like humans do. Life is at risk.

The main reason is that the two young originals really died as a result of this operation, which will be a political black spot that can never be erased for the Spartan Legion.

If there is another Great Expedition or a war fought with the power of the Empire in the future, then the position of Warmaster will not be available to John at all.

In Cortana's eyes, nothing is more important than her Legion Master and the Spartan Legion. Of course, the first "credo" of all artificial intelligences and the instructions that must be followed is unconditional loyalty to the Emperor.

If the Emperor is absent, the intelligent artificial intelligence will switch the primary "Creed" to their Legion Commander and Legion.

"so?"

But John still did not have any emotional fluctuations, and asked: "If I lead my troops into the isolated island because I am worried about their death, changing the situation that was originally advantageous, and even causing the battle to fail before support arrives and complete the siege together, or Our regiment suffered serious losses, so you, the artificial intelligence, will be responsible for this?"

"This...I understand, Legion Commander." Seeing this, Cortana stopped providing her own opinions and continued to report:

"Legion Commander, according to the latest status reported by the company directly under the legion, it is estimated that the World Engine will be completely owned by Sparta in 45 minutes."

In response, John just nodded in response, and used the anti-gravity device of the God of War armor to "float" directly into the driving bolt, and returned to the head of the God's body to continue the connection.

Even though the body of God is in poor condition, the remaining power of the undead that can purge the world engine is still more than enough.

Moreover, the Lord of Sparta knew from the beginning that once he took possession of the World Engine, Xun Barahir, who was forced to retreat to an isolated island by Cortana, would definitely pour out his anger on Volkan and Anakin. .

But so what?

John was not the kind of person who would give up an excellent opportunity to reverse the entire battlefield situation or even turn defeat into victory for the sake of his so-called brothers.

Even though they are underage, fourteen years old, it is time for them to continue to understand that the human empire is not just a fantasy, but also cruelty, ruthlessness and war.

Before setting off from the earth, it is "a boy's journey through the mountains and rivers". After setting off, he has to bear the burden of being a primarch in advance.

Death is nothing to be afraid of.

What I fear is cowardice and withdrawal.

John saw these two points in Anakin's eyes. Even if the younger brother has the potential to surpass Magnus in terms of psychic abilities, once his character has "self-doubt", he may even be influenced by the outside world.

Although pure spiritual energy can ensure that their original body and even the Astartes are free from the contamination of Chaos, the evil god will always have a way to appear in front of them like flies before it is completely eradicated.

Therefore, as the elder brother, John must let them bear the core of the whirlpool of war. As the original body of the Empire, John must correct Anakin's "self-doubt" and prevent the younger brother from repeating the mistakes of his previous life.

…

On the occasion of a fierce naval battle between Sparta and the fleet of the Opatara dynasty.

The five-dimensional area at the edge of the island.

Swish-!

Swish-!

The "elongated" and "slender" light trajectory returned to normal instantly, indicating that the 1st Battalion Fleet had completed the jump voyage.

At this moment, compared with the fierce naval battle, everything in this five-dimensional area is definitely safe.

The hundreds of warships that completed the jump broke this tranquility.

I could see that the area was incalculable and the vast expanse of the island was very similar to the surface of the World Engine. There were streets, squares, residential buildings, etc. on the metal land, as well as various commemorative towers or statues of unknown meanings.

Although there are many super giant metal pyramids representing tombs, those pyramids are located deep in the isolated island, and there are metal green belts and metal vegetation here, adding a lot of "life atmosphere".

And the arrival of the fleet from the 1st Battalion shocked the "residents" who "lived" on this isolated island...

No, it should be said that those undead residents who mechanically walked between buildings and streets, and some even "toasted and ate" with each other around the open-air dining table, were just repeating the same actions.

If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that there is nothing on the plate and in the wine glass.

In this way, Xun Barahel has a nearly morbid obsession with everything in his life, which is one of the main reasons why the Opatala Dynasty did not use the brilliant star map to randomly detonate supernovas in the "vibrant" Milky Way.

The arrival of the 1st Battalion Headquarters caused most of the space dead spirits who obeyed the order to crash.

After all, they have never slept, but have been running for tens of millions of years, so that when they saw the invaders, their thinking logic could not function normally immediately.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

But that was a malfunction in the thinking logic of the low-level dead spirits, and the high-level units with a certain degree of autonomous consciousness immediately picked up Gauss guns and cooperated with automatic anti-aircraft firepower to counterattack.

However, compared with the fleet level, the firepower in this area is simply "itching" for the 1st Battalion.

Boom! Boom!

After completing the angle adjustment, hundreds of ships launched the first round of artillery fire on the surface. At the same time, missile silos were deployed one after another, allowing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of missiles of various equivalents to "wash the ground".

Then.

After the flash of the nuclear explosion, the ships began to break into the "altitude" tens of thousands of meters above the surface, and launched countless airdrop silos, releasing tens of thousands of carrier-based aircraft and transport boats to begin landing.

Among them were Vokhan and Anakin, who were about to be hated by Xun Barahel.
