Chapter 285: Reditus: If you don't want to die, then do it!
Everything in the underground base seems to have returned to normal.
Rorschach led Jessica in brutal training that lasted almost fourteen hours a day.
Rest time except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet.
Rorschach would also pull the exhausted Jessica to learn how to command a combat team or even more combatants.
Perhaps it was the near-death experience.
It did change some of Jessica's concepts and ideas.
Her growth and absorption of combat training and knowledge of war.
All of this was far beyond Rorschach's expectations.
Rorschach also saw this.
So, he decided to take advantage of the approaching Halloween.
Prepare a small gift for Jessica.
Not long after, Rorschach got up and went to the foundry, which was still roaring.
I found Raditus rubbing precision metal parts with his hands.
However, when Rorschach proposed to the Servo Skull.
He wanted to temporarily join in and forge a set of power armor for the battle nuns.
Red light flashed in Raditus' eyes, as if he had suffered a great shock.
It used a short mechanical clamp to vigorously strike the casting platform, and pulled the sound device to shout to Rorschach:
"Emperor! Even if you are the primarch, you can't use me as a wish-granting machine, right? My poor foundry, all the production lines are already overloaded!"
"First, there is the Cybernetic Corps that is carrying out the Stand Project, and there is also a new flying vehicle that is still in the design and modification stage... My Lord Primarch! I have even temporarily occupied the production line of laser guns. Where is the extra production capacity to make power armor for you?"
"Reditus, I don't remember your foundry working at all since the meeting. How much have you produced?"
Rorschach raised his brows slightly and turned his head to look at the automatic servo robots passing by in the corridor.
Countless materials and parts are being transported back and forth by them.
He took a deep breath of hot air and turned back to the servoskull.
"Didn't you say you wanted a complete cybernetic army? This is an important decision passed by the Round Table! Master Primarch! You don't want to break your promise, do you?"
With red light flashing in his eyes, Raditus drove the anti-gravity engine to float up and down.
But its mechanical voice seemed to reveal a hint of guilt.
"What I'm telling you is that it's a cannon fodder-level intelligence army that can surprise the enemy and replace the so-called 'Terra Star Army', not a 'complete' intelligence army... Raditus, tell me, how many toys have you made in recent days?"
At this moment, Rorschach narrowed his eyes slightly and gently lifted the hem of his shirt.
The familiar plasma pistol was also clearly exposed within Reditus' field of vision.
"Hahaha... My Lord Primarch, please don't joke with me. I haven't built many. It's still very difficult to conquer a planet..."
Hearing Rorschach's question.
Raditus, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly let out an extremely awkward mechanical laugh.
However, its mechanical sound also seemed filled with a sense of uneasiness.
"How many are there? Tell me. You know I won't really kill you, right?"
Smiling, Rorschach slowly reached out and grasped the plasma pistol.
He stared straight in the direction of Reditus and said calmly.
The next moment, with red light flashing in his eyes, Raditus hurriedly moved closer to Rorschach.
It drove the anti-gravity engine to float up and down, and said cautiously:
"Master Primarch, you are really joking..."
"The number of the Intelligent Control Corps is only a thousand at present, but they are not those automatic servo robots made of weak materials."
"Every little guy in the Intelligence Control Corps is a war machine capable of suppressing an entire city area!"
"Among them, there are about 500 Aoguai Mecha Guards that can fight both at range and in close combat. They have several sturdy mechanical tentacles and can wield chain swords or power swords, becoming terrifying assault monsters in the eyes of the enemy. Equipped with grenade launchers or laser weapons, they can also become sage guards that mainly provide firepower coverage."
"Moreover, due to the fatal flaw in the original design, their power sources are basically exposed. The power source called the radiation furnace can also cause extremely terrifying radiation damage to the enemy. When necessary, it can even be remotely controlled to turn the Aoguai Mecha Guard into a small self-destructing dirty bomb!"
"Didn't you complain to me before that the Hellhammer laser cannon cannot be controlled by one person and is very difficult to use? Now you don't have to worry at all! Because the height and size of the Fort Star-shaped intelligent control robot soldiers, which are close to the Terminator power armor, have been transformed into mobile self-propelled turrets by me one by one!"
"It's a pity that I haven't seen the blueprints of the shock wave machine. Otherwise, the melee capability of the Fort Star-type intelligent robot soldiers would be difficult for ordinary Astartes to resist. However, due to the limitations of the Hell Hammer laser cannon and the production of many materials, there are only fifty of them at present."
"The remaining 400 or so are basically all Vulture-type Automata. After all, air superiority is also needed on the battlefield. You have already used them, so I won't introduce them to you in detail."
Servo Skull Raditus carefully introduced his many masterpieces.
The mechanical eyeball with a flashing red light turned and observed the changing expressions on Rorschach's face.
When it unexpectedly discovered that the squinting original body did not show any unusual emotions.
The mechanical voice of Raditus rose noticeably by several pitches.
"Dear Primarch! If you are still not satisfied, I can also create a powerful robot called the Death Slave for you!"
"This is a cyborg warrior known as the Adeptus Astartes of the Mechanicus. Your gang dogs with enhanced bodies are the best tools for transformation! However, this is the area that my Mechanical Sage mentor was best at when I was young. I have only seen the scene of its manufacture a few times. It would be very difficult to restore it perfectly..."
At this moment, before Reditus could finish his words.
The plasma pistol that Rorschach was holding tightly in his palm was quickly pulled out.
The muzzle of the gun was also aimed at Reditus who was close at hand!
He returned to his expressionless and cold state.
Staring at the servoskull whose red light in its eye sockets began to shrink dramatically.
Pull the trigger without hesitation!
Puff, puff, puff——
Several bursts of azure blue hot plasma quickly shot out of the muzzle.
The terrifying scorching heat melted the two short mechanical clamps and the anti-gravity engine hanging below the servo skull in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, the hot plasma that collided with the metal wall at a high speed also exploded.
It completely submerged several nearby intelligent robots that had not yet been fully assembled!
"ah--"
The next moment, just as the servo skull, screaming in fear, was about to fall heavily to the ground from mid-air.
Rorschach stepped forward and suddenly stretched out a sharp-fingered hand, grabbing the white skull of Reditus!
He slightly widened his blue wolf eyes.
He stared at the other party's mechanical eyeball with emotionless cold eyes, and said word by word:
"Reditus, this is the second time you have disobeyed my orders... Don't treat my usual patience and tolerance as something that can be thrown away at will. I can tolerate your cleverness and little secrets because I sincerely regard you as a member of the team, a recognized partner, not a tool resurrected by the Emperor!"
"There is no such thing as a third time. This is the last time I will warn you. I welcome you to invent weapons and equipment. You are welcome to modify any technological creation and seek knowledge of alien technology..."
"However, any decision made in my name or on my behalf, especially this kind of bad attitude of not treating humans as human beings, you have to think carefully about whether you really want to do it. Do you understand?"
"Now, there is still about a week until Halloween. If we stop all the production lines of the Cybernetic Corps and mobilize all the productivity to make a set of mortal power armor, it will be barely enough for you, Raditus, right?"
"Of course, you can choose to resist. At most, I can recruit someone else through a 'miracle'. Maybe a super talent like Archsage Cawl of the Mechanicus is also waiting to replace you... Don't you agree, Raditus?"
"My Lord Primarch! My Lord Emperor! My Lord the God of All Machines! My Lord Omnimessiah! I know I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
At this moment, Reditus, who was firmly held in the palm of a big hand, suddenly let out a sharp cry of fear.
"I understand your concerns! I also understand your bottom line!"
"If loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal! My dear Primarch! I will never make such a mistake again!"
"Me! Raditus!"
"Ultimately loyal—"
Thank you for your support!
