The processor is not an oracle. It can only assist in analysis and evaluation based on existing information, so the area that is now marked is also very likely to be a misjudgment.
However, considering that the possibility of 83% is already the highest in the recent evaluation results, Yaoen feels that it is better to spend some time to investigate. If it is fake, it is a waste of time, but if it is true...
"Yaoen, what's going on over there?"
When Yaoen frowned and thought, Gray's voice sounded in his mind.
There was strong interference in the area occupied by the enemy. The communication array on the Skitarii side was unable to send communications into the enemy-occupied area at all, but the communication between the guards was not interfered with.
Yaoen will regularly report to Gray what he has detected these days. Today, he was a little late in analyzing the image data, so Gray took the initiative to contact Yaoen, fearing that something bad might happen to him.
"The enemy's top brass are well hidden." Yao En said helplessly, "Next, I plan to use other means to find them and kill them."
"What method?" Gray asked.
"Special reconnaissance methods." Yaoen said vaguely, but he already had a detailed plan in mind.
Although I don't know what kind of ritual the enemy is performing, one thing is certain, that is, this kind of ritual also consumes life to perform.
Perhaps you can disguise yourself as a civilian, be kidnapped by the enemy and then taken away. Although this may not necessarily be sent to the enemy's high-level officials, it will definitely be sent to the enemy who is performing the ceremony.
In Yao En's opinion, it is more important to prevent the enemy's ritual from continuing than to carry out beheading tactics.
"Don't take too many risks. Although we are guards, we will die if the reactor in our bodies is destroyed. Don't waste your lives in a war that is bound to win." Gray instructed.
In Gray's opinion, this war is bound to be won, because the Celestial Engine controls the entire galaxy, and the Skitarii's ground forces are already strong, coupled with the Tyron Army, victory is inevitable.
But Yaoen didn't think so. He believed that the enemy's ongoing ritual would definitely turn the tide of the war if it succeeded. This also strengthened his determination to prevent the ritual from proceeding.
"I will go here and sneak in disguised as a civilian or a prisoner of war." Yao En transmitted the coordinates of the foundry marked on the map to Gray. This is the foundry that the ruling sage of the forging world once defended. "If The war is going well, I hope to focus our attack here."
Gray checked the mark. He didn't know what Yaoen was going to do, but he knew that Yaoen must have a reason, so he immediately agreed: "I will negotiate with the priests and give priority to attacking the foundries you marked, even if they are from the Mechanicus." If they don’t go there, the Tyrone Army will go too.”
Seeing Gray agreeing to come down, Yao En was completely relieved.
Letting large forces attack the foundry is actually a backup method.
In the unlikely event that the ceremony was successful and had dire consequences, at least there would be troops to begin attacking the foundry, without having to waste time gathering and deploying armies.
"Communication ended."
After saying what needed to be said, Yaoen turned off the communication function of the Guard Power Armor, then closed his eyes and thought about removing the armor three times in a row. The Guard Power Armor on his body immediately opened and fell off from his body.
The biological processor still maintains the link between Yaoen's brain and the Guard Power Armor. He can remotely control the Guard Power Armor, call and drive away the Guard Power Armor, and of course has unique functions prepared for covert operations.
After Yaoen seriously thought about driving away three times in a row, a dimensional crack appeared under the feet of the guard's power armor, and the entire power armor fell into it.
Power armor will always exist in the dimensional rift, not affected by time and space. As long as Yaoen needs power armor, the power armor will appear immediately.
After removing his armor, Yaoen looks no different from ordinary people except that he is stronger. Although he has undergone many mechanical transformations, there are no lines left by the transformations on his body.
Yaoen ran towards Foundry Area 4 further north, where the biological processor detected a large number of organisms.
Chapter 175 Dark Apostle
……
Foundry Area 4.
Since the death of the Ruler, more and more enemy forces have poured into the Engine Foundry and other nearby foundries, eventually taking control of these areas.
Some of the civilians died at the beginning of the war, and then some died during the looting. The remaining small population was scattered in various industrial facilities in the foundry area, either hiding in places where they thought others could not find them, or taking weapons. Weapons for resistance.
The resistance activities in Forge 4 were the most serious. Three Oathbreaker Chaos Space Marines and an adjutant named Kvain were withdrawn from the front line and led a hundred thousand mortal servants to exterminate the resistance in the entire Forge.
When the armies of the Oathbreakers warband, led by Kwaine, entered the Forge, preparing for a bloody war with the Resistance, they could only see the ruins of industrial facilities everywhere in the Forge.
Neither the Chaos Space Marines nor the mutated mortal servants think there are living people here, because the air quality in this casting area is even better than other casting areas.
But Thorax's lieutenant, Dark Apostle Kwain, doesn't think so.
As an apostle of dark beliefs, Kvain is able to receive evil revelations and then act upon those revelations.
At the entrance to the forging area, Kvain held up the scepter with the symbol of Khorne and ordered to the Oathbreaker Space Marine beside him: "Go and bring the prisoners here."
The Space Marine was not very fond of carrying out orders from Kvaine, but he obeyed after seeing the scepter in his hand, and returned shortly after leaving to bring over the prisoners Kvaine had requested.
Kwaine walked up to his prisoner and looked him over.
The prisoner's head was held by the Space Marine's big hands, and his mechanical legs hung weakly on the ground.
Mechanically modified parts can be seen everywhere on the prisoner's body, including a nose, an iron lung, and a pliers hand that has been modified to be more suitable for industrial production...the quality of these mechanically modified parts is so poor that even a layman like Kwien would despise it.
"Look at what you look like." Kewei En looked at the captives with disgust, and a low voice came from his mouth, "The fake emperor's lackeys I saw were miserable enough, you bullshit Wan Ji Shen's lackeys What’s worse, you are simply slaves.”
"I'm worse than a slave, but I know that if I fall into your hands, I will most likely be tortured to death. I won't even be qualified to be your lackey." The prisoner said, glancing at the members of the Oathbreaker warband. Looking at the mortal servants, he observed through their life as captives these days that these servants were already very high-status people among the traitors. Those weaklings with weak bodies would most likely be skinned and hung on the iron pillars.
"What do you know?" Kvain looked down on the prisoner with disdain and said as if he wanted to join him: "Wouldn't it be nice to become servants of the Blood God together and kill those priests and other bastards who oppress you on the battlefield? ?”
The prisoner opened his mouth and spat at Kwaine.
This sputum was more like lubricant used to lubricate the mechanical respiratory tract. It emitted fluorescence in the pitch-black environment, and burned Kwaine's eyeballs after falling on them.
"Give me a happy death, coward." The prisoner continued to stimulate Kwaine, and shouted words that were unpleasant to the ears of these traitors, "For the God of All Machines! For the Messiah of Ohm!"
Kevin wiped his face and complained helplessly while working.
"I really don't want to waste energy on rituals in this place."
"If you were smart, I would give you a happy death."
The prisoner watched Kwaine's every move nervously. This guy was waving the scepter in his hand, not knowing what he was doing.
After a while, the captive found that his body was levitating, a large amount of blood was pouring out of the pores of the body, and the skin attached to the limbs fell off like a sol.
The intense pain made the prisoner want to scream, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he could not scream. Many horrific and horrifying scenes flashed before his eyes, torturing his spirit.
The blood flowing from the prisoner's body was suspended like a thread, connecting to all parts of the No. 4 Casting Area.
Kvayn didn't need to give an order. The men of the Oathbreakers warband knew what to do. They divided into small groups and followed the blood line to various parts of the Forge.
When the first person reached the end of the blood line, he found metal tiles on the ground that could be moved.
Others gradually discovered pipelines connecting industrial facilities, and channels used to transport molten iron underground in the foundry area.
These discoveries mean nothing to Kvain. Who doesn't know that the Forge World is full of pipelines and underground structures. At a casual glance, you can see thousands of pipelines connecting industrial facilities together. The key is these chaotic pipelines. Where will it ultimately lead.
The blood line continued to extend to point out the way for everyone, and Kwain ordered everyone to move forward along the blood line.
These pipes are more mazes than mazes. Some places are big enough for tanks to walk through, some places can only be crawled through, and some places even have to remove all the decorations on the body to squeeze through. It is annoying for those who walk through it. chaos.
But fortunately, this was not in vain. When some of the people led by Kewein followed the blood line into the underground cave, he saw many people resting or training here. Some of them were Skitarii soldiers, but most of them Most are civilians.
Kvain looked at these civilians with a smile, raised his scepter and ordered: "Kill the skitarii and those who have undergone severe transformation, and take away all the rest."
The Chaos Space Marines and mortal servants charged at the survivors, easily wiping out the Skitarii soldiers and servitors before they could react and organize resistance. Some civilians with minor mechanical modifications were also affected along the way, but it was irrelevant. critical.
"Go and pile up the heads of the dead!" Kwaine ordered again.
The mortal servants immediately did so, removing the dead man's heads and heaping them together.
This pile of skulls is not just a random pile. If you want it to have some effectiveness, you must meet some hard conditions. Therefore, when the number is not enough or the shape of the pile of skulls is not perfect enough, you need those controlled civilians to fill it.
Eventually the skulls piled up into a small mountain, and those of the Forsworn Warband felt warlike in their hearts when they saw it, while others either rushed towards the Chaos Space Marines with bare hands or felt nothing but fear. I was so scared that I had to be careful even to breathe.
The people who suddenly became furious were slaughtered. Kwaine looked at those who were too frightened to move and gave them orders: "Don't move, wait until we come back."
These civilians had all participated in the resistance, but now they suddenly lost any fighting spirit. They knelt down near the pile of skulls like slaves. They nodded tremblingly after hearing Kwein's wishful command, unable to produce any resistance in their brains. idea.
"Keep going." Kwaine nodded with satisfaction, turned around and led the others to continue moving forward.
Chapter 176 Brothers in Suffering
The Oathbreaker warband worked quickly to clear out the resistance in the Fourth Forge, using branch routes scattered throughout the conduits to ensure that nothing was missed.
Everything was carried out efficiently. Even if Kwein, who organized the operation, left halfway, others continued to clean up the foundry area according to his orders.
No one slaughtered prisoners indiscriminately unless absolutely necessary.
The three space warriors of the Oathbreaker warband suppressed their anger throughout the whole process, because they knew that these prisoners had great use in turning the tide of the war, and indiscriminate killing would only lead to the certain death of everyone in this war.
The cleanup operation lasted three days. At the end of the operation, the three Space Marines and their mortal servants carried all the prisoners of war back to the foundry.
A total of more than 100,000 prisoners were all tied up in chains and marched on foot under the supervision of the enemy.
Yao En has already blended in. Like the others, he was bound by chains and moved forward silently, only occasionally observing the surrounding situation.
After driving for a day and a night, the prisoners were getting closer and closer to the foundry.
Yaoen observed everything here while passing the outer wall of the foundry.
The walls were covered with blasphemous brass sigils and were manned by Chaos Space Marines from the Forsworn Warband, perhaps more than three hundred of them.
What remains are armies of mortal servants and half-flesh, half-machine freaks.
All this confused Yaon, as he could not find the Chaos Space Marines and servants of the other warbands.
With such doubts, Yaoen continued to move forward, gradually approaching the core area of the foundry.
……
After a while.
Yaoen and other prisoners were taken into a building that looked like an arena. Some of the prisoners were escorted to the foundry, while the rest were taken to the cell area and imprisoned.
The Space Marines and mortal servants of the Forsworn Warband locked the adamantine doors and left, not wanting to miss the gladiatorial fight.
Yaoen saw that there were many prisoners held in this dark cell. In the cell opposite, there were not just mortals, but some Chaos Space Marines among them.
These traitors have all kinds of strange looks. Some are covered with pustules and have pus flowing out of the gaps in their power armor. Some are wearing blue power armor and have severe mutations in their limbs.
Yaon had been wondering why he couldn't see Chaos Space Marines from other warbands, but now he had an answer.
It is obvious that internal fighting has begun among various war gangs.
However, Yaoen thought it was unlikely because he saw Space Marines from different warbands fighting side by side on the way to Foundry Area 4... Of course, it was not ruled out that there would be internal fighting only on the foundry side.
"They are used for rituals." A deep voice sounded from behind Yaoen.
Yao En turned around and saw a man standing up in the dark corner of the prison and walking towards him.
He was a strong man with a height of 2.2 meters, much larger than the others.
Space Marine.
