Chapter 284: Birthday celebration on Mars?
Mars.
The outer space of the atmosphere.
Whoosh~
The red and black mechanical giant ship suddenly jumped out of the subspace.
That is the Mechanicus' Mechanical Ark. As part of the Mechanicus' plan to explore knowledge, it will endlessly explore the star sea.
Mechanical Ark is so huge that it far exceeds the size of a battleship of the Imperial Navy.
Its extreme mass creates its own gravity field like an unstable satellite.
What's even more terrifying is that Ark Mechanicus is loaded with the best technology the Adeptus Mechanicus has to offer.
The weapons on board are even more powerful than those of Imperial battleships, with a longer range and significantly greater defensive capabilities.
The Ark Mechanical was so valuable that an entire Forge World was destroyed in order to awaken the machine spirit on board.
will be considered a negligible price.
The red-black Mechanical Ark "Udia" ignored the Imperial Solar Fleet stationed in orbit outside the Ring of Steel and crossed its defense lines unscrupulously.
Close to the atmosphere of Mars.
The gravity field of the Mechanical Ark caused climate changes on Mars, and a sudden sandstorm swept several hive cities.
Demonstrating its incomparable force.
This is just the beginning.
Along with the fluctuations in space, more Mechanicus fleets jumped out of the subspace and gathered in the airspace near Mars.
That's a fleet of more than thirty conservative forge worlds.
They flaunted their might to Imperial garrisons, Holy Terra, and many Forge Worlds.
Temple of the God of All Machines.
"see it?"
Uldia looked feverishly into space, looking at his Mechanical Ark flagship and the huge fleet behind it.
He was very proud: "This is the will of the general cast by Mars!"
Moreover, this is just the vanguard, there are dozens of forge world fleets on the way.
The power he assembled this time was no less powerful than any fleet of imperial forces, and was even more powerful.
This is the foundation of the Mechanicus!
These days, Udiya is irritated.
Many forging worlds dared to send out protests and fiercely questioned him, the foundry general.
He was even asked to abdicate.
How arrogant!
It may be that the peace that has always existed in the Mars headquarters has made people less afraid of the Mars headquarters and the Forge General.
So much so that he forgot that he, the foundry general, was one of the most powerful beings in the empire.
Possessing unimaginable terrifying force.
This made Udiya unbearable, and he must severely punish those who tried to resist.
to maintain his majesty.
Uldia searched through an ever-increasing list of Forge Worlds that had sent in protests.
This is a dangerous sign.
If he doesn't respond forcefully, the criticism will increase.
There will even be daring guys who ignore the majesty of Mars and come to visit.
further expand the situation.
At this point, there is no room for him to retreat even a little bit.
Only the fury of thunder can be used to frighten Xiao Xiao!
Like a supreme king, Udia patrolled the forge worlds on the list, and then selected some unlucky forge worlds.
Inflict punishment.
"Go, in the name of the God of Machinery, let these rebels yield to my will!"
Uldia threw the lists of several forge worlds to his subordinates and sent his fleet to violently suppress them.
He, the foundry general, wants to let those forge worlds know that their resistance is so weak and ridiculous!
Following Uldia's instructions, the newly assembled Mechanicus fleet dispersed and headed towards the attack target.
Soon, many warships descended on those forge worlds that were violently protesting, in the name of suppressing the rebellion of the Mechanicum.
Attack it.
After they destroyed the local orbital defenses, they sent Titans, Imperial Knights, Divine Machine Guards and other troops to land on the surface.
With an unstoppable advantage, it defeated the local defense forces.
Then the rebels, led by the Foundry Director, were arrested and sent to Mars headquarters for trial.
As for the industries that forge the world, they are divided up by conservatives.
…
"Udia, you are killing church members, you are the cancer of the Mechanicus!"
“You can’t kill our intellectual curiosity!”
"God of Machinery, please punish Udiya..."
"Your end is coming!"
Mars, Mount Arsia.
A Tower of Atonement towers into the sky, with countless mechanical cages dotting it.
The rebels were imprisoned in cages and endured the scorching sun of Mars.
To punish them for their disrespect and betrayal towards the Mars headquarters and the Forge General.
The rebels cursed day and night.
However, their voices could not reach Udiya's ears.
The foundry general dismissed this.
Wait until the situation stabilizes.
He will hold a grand trial ceremony and execute these ridiculous rebels with his own hands.
After Uldia violently suppressed a group of forge worlds, he issued a new edict.
Declare the fate of those traitors.
To show the Mars headquarters and the majesty of the Forging General.
At the same time, he warned the other forge worlds to follow the orders of the Martian headquarters and not to act like those traitors.
Otherwise, there will be a fierce blow from Mars!
Temple of frictionless piston.
Oil pool.
Udiya was comfortably soaked in engine oil, maintaining the mechanical implants on his body.
The subordinates came to report:
"Sir, our fleet requests to set out again to suppress the rebellion!"
For the conservative fleet, this is a good opportunity to carve up the forging worlds of other factions and expand their strength.
They are ready to move, eager to suppress more forge worlds.
"Yeah?"
Udia seemed to have expected it, and handed over another list:
"Let them be, and let the majesty of the Generals of Mars and Forge be carried out!"
This is a good thing for him.
This will allow the conservative forces to further expand and seize more territory and mechanical facilities during this incident.
"Perhaps we can get more..."
Udiya was in a good mood.
With his thunderous wrath, the situation was under control and there were fewer and fewer voices of protest.
After the situation gradually stabilizes, he will come forward to appease part of the forging world.
Appropriately grant them some valuable knowledge from the secret vaults of Mars.
to completely eliminate the impact of this incident.
At the same time, the power of the conservatives will further increase, allowing him to gain more power in the empire.
Now, he just needs to stay on Mars and wait patiently.
This is one of the safest places in the Empire, even safer than Holy Terra.
As the headquarters of the Mechanicus, Mars has a planetary defense system that is not inferior to that of Holy Terra.
For thousands of years, he has defeated all enemies who dared to attack.
Even the powerful Necrons suffered a disastrous defeat in a certain attack, which enriched the defense system of Mars.
Perhaps some radical Forge Worlds would take the risk and launch a rebellion against him, the Forge General of Mars.
But in any case, Mars cannot be shaken by the armies that forged the world.
As long as he stays on Mars, he will be invincible!
What's more, most worlds have already succumbed to the will of Mars Headquarters and the Forge General.
Don't dare to protest anymore.
Udiya sank into the oil, enjoying it all.
Those who oppose it will lose!
…
The edge of the solar system.
airspace.
A ship of the Erth Mechanicum was running at low frequency, hiding under the veil of the Supreme Sky.
"Ah, when will the mechanical forum be restored?"
Kaul was a little irritable: "Lord Savior, why don't we launch the army and bomb Mars?
It feels like we have a great chance of winning! "
Ron replied quietly:
"We cannot take action, otherwise we are likely to face a joint attack from the Empire and the Mechanicus..."
"But if we keep waiting like this, that bastard Udia will win!"
Ron took a comfortable sip of Coke and glanced at Call: "Who said he was going to win?"
"Is not it?"
Kaul felt a little uncomfortable: "We have been waiting for so long, but we haven't seen a single ship coming to conquer Mars.
Those guys from the Mechanicus simply don’t dare to attack Mars.
It's better now, they don't even dare to protest anymore, everything is quiet..."
"Quietly is the best. Such a situation is what we hope for. It proves that the struggle has entered a deeper level..."
Ron put forward a different view: "Have you ever heard of a saying, if you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence!"
Based on relevant intelligence information.
The voices of those forging worlds gradually subsided, and fewer and fewer forging worlds protested and rebuked Mars.
Many people thought that Udiya had suppressed the situation.
However, Ron concluded just the opposite, the situation was completely uncontrollable!
He could no longer feel the raging anger of the oil guys, but was replaced by a lifeless silence.
But that's not surrender.
In this case, silence is the scariest thing.
Perhaps high-level politicians like Udiya, who hold high positions and play power at the top, don't know.
But Ron has a deep understanding of this.
Many years ago, there was a period of material scarcity and extreme chaos on the planet Erth.
In those days, rebellions were a daily occurrence.
As the planetary governor, Ron has personally dealt with some demonstrations and protests for a long time.
I have also read too many front-line reports.
When he saw the conclusions of those reports, he felt very complicated.
When crowds gather to protest, the louder the slogans become, the less threatening they become.
Even if they want to live or die, it is just through some self-harming behavior.
to get what they deserve.
In this case, as long as you can satisfy the crowd's demands a little, you can appease them immediately.
You might even get their thanks.
Because people’s purpose is just to let the people in power and those who hurt them hear their appeals and plead with them to provide solutions.
Once the purpose is achieved, it will naturally disperse.
Even if someone comes out to comfort him verbally, it won't cause much turmoil.
However, the real danger comes when the crowd begins to fall silent.
At that time, you could clearly feel the rage and murderous intent brewing in the silence.
spread silently among the crowd.
That means that the crowd is completely desperate. They have given up hope on those in power and have no hope of solving the problem through any normal means.
I don’t even want to solve the problem anymore.
At this time, they clenched their fists silently, silently sharpened their knives, and loaded their guns.
They only think about one question.
That is to let the person who hurt them and the instigator die!
When things have developed to this point.
No matter what those responsible persons said, what promises they made, or even their willingness to solve the problem.
It was useless.
All they got was the silence of the crowd and the cold eyes.
Those responsible persons with rich front-line experience would most likely mobilize all the troops they could at the first time.
To meet the impact of the rebels.
If there is not enough time, then run quickly.
If there is still a chance to run.
Otherwise, he will be torn to pieces by the angry crowd!
Now, those forging worlds have gradually begun to be silent.
This proves that the anger of those forging worlds has been ignited, and their murderous intentions are brewing.
The majesty accumulated by Mars for tens of thousands of years can no longer be suppressed.
After all, for the oil man, knowledge is above everything, and Udia banned the mechanical forum.
It is more infuriating than simple killing.
At this time, if anyone comes out and makes a sound.
Those murderous intentions that gather together and surge are enough to drown any existence.
Even if he is the Mars Casting General and the Supreme Lord of the Empire!
After listening to the explanation of the Lord Savior.
Kaul rubbed his fists.
He was ready to go to Mars and test the strength of his body.
Kaul touched his father's head, the super-heavy servo skull equipped with many deadly weapons.
"Father, we will go to Mars to blow away those conservative old stubborn people.
Let them see how powerful our Sali family is!"
After all, their Sali family also has a little hatred for conservatives.
Suddenly, Kaul asked a very important question: "How long will it take for those armies of the forge world to reach Mars?"
Ron smiled slightly:
"Let the bullets fly for a while..."
...
Huangquan No. 8 Forge World.
The entire forge world fell into silence.
Everything was almost the same as usual.
The technical priests did not demonstrate or protest, but continued to do their work.
Just occasionally glanced at the closed mechanical forum.
His eyes were cold.
In addition to work, the technical priests silently strengthened the prosthetic weapons and added more weapons and equipment to the heavy firepower and vehicles in the laboratory.
They seemed to be waiting for something.
Casting Palace.
In the hall.
The senior executives were holding a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
"Director, we must protest with other casting worlds and drive Udia out of power!"
"Yes, we must make a statement!"
The two deputy supervisors were determined.
Since the closure of the Mechanical Forum, the casting director of Huangquan No. 8 has not made any statement.
He has not opposed or condemned the decree and Udia like other casting worlds.
This made the senior executives unable to hold back.
"Protest, is protest useful?"
The Foundry Director asked back: "No matter how much we curse and oppose, will that old bastard Udia step down on his own initiative?
Don't you understand that Udia has completely controlled the Mechanicus Elder Council.
Now, he has the final say in the Mechanicus.
No matter how we, the Forge Worlds, oppose, it is useless. We are not qualified to drive him out of office!"
An old mechanical sage sighed: "What should we do then? Can't we do anything to him?"
"Your thinking has been bound by the power of the Mars Headquarters for a long time."
The Foundry Director shook his head:
"Do we have to use normal means to solve the problem?"
"Mechanicus, do you mean that we want to start a rebellion and kill Udia?"
The old mechanical sage looked terrified.
The Mars Headquarters has been as stable as Mount Tai for thousands of years, and almost no one in the Mechanicus dares to have such a terrible idea.
After all, it is the place with the strongest firepower of the Mechanicus, and it is at the core of the empire, with many imperial troops guarding it.
"What rebellion? Who rebelled?"
The foundry director looked like he was talking nonsense: "We are going to support and defend Mars and eliminate the evil heretics hidden in the upper echelons of the headquarters.
This is a just act, and no one is more loyal than us!"
The dull footsteps sounded.
The foundry director stood up and moved out, and everyone followed him to the terrace of the hall.
"Everyone, I am ready, and I will set off to support Mars today!"
The foundry director raised his head slightly.
Everyone followed the director's line of sight and saw a huge mechanical ark slowly approaching Huangquan No. 8.
It almost blocked the sun.
The foundry director arranged all this secretly, and it was not revealed to everyone until now.
Only by reaching Mars at the fastest and most rapid speed.
Can we avoid Udia's response and let them get the expected effect.
"Director's order, let our people bring enough firepower and board the ship to Mars!"
The foundry director's tone was extremely firm.
"Yes!"
The red-robed deputy supervisor couldn't wait to issue an order to the entire foundry world.
Buzz——
The moment the order was issued.
The cheers of the crowd, like waves, reached the terrace of the Foundry Palace.
All over Huangquan No. 8.
The technical priests excitedly took out their most powerful firepower and pulled out the big guys in the laboratory.
Under the guidance of the instructions, they went to the designated location in an orderly manner and entered the boarding ship.
On the terrace.
The old mechanical sage was still a little worried: "Master Director, are we the only ones going to Mars?"
"No, it's not just us, Huang Quan No. 8 is just one of the original initiators..."
The casting director said slowly:
"As far as I know, there are many more forge worlds to go to than you can imagine!"
——
Mars.
Frictionless piston temple, oil sump.
"It seems that those losers in Holy Terra are very afraid of Mars' will..."
Udiya stretched out several mechanical arms and sneered.
Ever since he gathered his fleet to launch a massive crusade against his opponents, letters had come one after another from Holy Terra.
Ask about the status of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
At the same time, he was reminded that the foundry general should not be too radical to avoid causing more unrest.
She also secretly begged him.
Ask him not to attack those forge worlds any further.
After all, the Indomitus Crusade, which the empire is fully preparing for, has just begun, and it is exactly when those forging worlds are needed.
They could not afford any more forge worlds to be attacked and destroyed.
Udiya could imagine it.
Those arrogant supreme lords who couldn't deal with themselves wrote to themselves in such an angry and condescending manner.
They fear the will of the Mechanicum.
Moreover, they cannot do without their founding general.
Wudiya looked at his subordinates and said proudly:
"Please reply to all those letters for me, telling them that the Adeptus Mechanicus is already under the power of the Founding General.
Return to peace.
The Adeptus Mechanicus does not need their hypocritical concern! "
"Sir, there is another letter that you need to check in person..."
The subordinates respectfully presented a letter. The owner of the letter was the Regent of the Empire, the Primarch Guilliman.
"Oh, Lord Primarch's letter, I have to take a good look at it..."
Udiya lazily accepted the letter that came through astrology and was written by the unconscious servitor in the secret room of the shrine.
As expected, the Primarch rebuked him in a stern tone and warned him not to let the situation develop any further.
"The original body master is very angry..."
Udiya sighed, but his tone was not panic-stricken.
After all, he deeply understood that the primarch cared about the Empire and his Great Crusade.
Moreover, the original body was a standard politician, always following the rules and order of the empire.
Rather than a lunatic who kills indiscriminately.
In this case, as long as the other party still has reason, he can't do anything to him.
Could it be that the Primarch could break the alliance and attack Mars, or assassinate an Imperial High Lord in the street?
That kind of thing is almost impossible to happen. No one can bear the anger of the Mars Forged General after the failed assassination!
Udiya threw away the parchment and enjoyed his oil hot spring again.
He was not prepared to reply to this letter so quickly.
At least, you have to wait until he has completely controlled the situation, and then find some free time to slowly reply.
Let the primarch be anxious and angry for a while.
This will show the importance of casting generals to the empire.
Moreover, he liked to see the great Primarch Demigod frustrated in front of him.
This gave him an indescribable sense of control and happiness.
After this incident, the voices of opposition within the Mechanicus will disappear, and the power of the conservatives will become stronger.
And the Empire will also realize the importance of the Mechanicus.
By then, his status as the General of Mars Forged will no longer be shaken.
Even the original body must be careful with itself!
Udiya is immersed in beautiful imagination, as if he has already shocked the empire.
Suddenly, a shrill cry came.
"Sir, it's not good!"
A messenger boy stumbled in and fell into the oil pool.
Wudiya pinched the messenger and picked him up: "Tell me, what is it?"
"The traitor...the traitor is attacking Mars!"
"What?!"
Udiya was shocked and climbed out of the oil pool with difficulty and stood on the conveyor belt.
Soon, a conveyor belt takes it to a terrace.
Suddenly, he remembered something and opened the communication channel that he had closed to avoid interruption.
Suddenly dozens of communication messages came through.
"The traitors led by Huangquan No. 8 drove the fleet to the airspace of Mars!"
Udia looked up and saw a mechanical Ark leading a huge fleet.
Approaching Mars.
He suddenly looked at his subordinates: "Quick, reinforcement order, let all fleets return to Mars!"
Although this traitor army is large in number, it is not so large that it cannot be solved.
As long as the conservative fleet left behind on Mars can support it for a while, more forces will come back to support.
You can annihilate them all!
"God of Machinery, sir... sir..."
The electronic voice of the subordinates trembled, and the fear increased: "Maybe we can't wait for reinforcements..."
"What do you mean!"
Udiya was instantly furious, and then he followed his men's gaze toward the stars.
"This...how is this possible?"
He screamed, his mechanical body lost its center of gravity, and fell on the conveyor belt in an ugly posture.
In just a short time, more rebel fleets arrived on Mars.
Whoosh whoosh——
Visible to the naked eye, countless battleships flashed out of the subspace like stars.
Densely packed and layered.
Almost filling the vast airspace around Mars!
