Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 162: Transform! Tengu Mecha
When the mecha vehicle named Tengu appeared in front of the White Scar warriors, not only Guntura, but all the descendants of Chagatai Khan stared at the unknown machine in front of them.

Their eyes were focused and passionate, and there was a faint flash of burning arc when they looked at each other.

Compared with the knight mechas equipped by the Empire, this humanoid vehicle, which Roche calls "Tengu", is more slender. Its streamlined structure and appearance are deeply loved by the White Scars, which means that its speed in the atmosphere will be ridiculously fast.

When it got closer, Gantula and others realized that the Tengu mecha was not actually standing on the ground. The anti-gravity engines on its legs and waist made it float half a meter above the ground all the time.

"Let me introduce to you all, the Tengu Mecha, a humanoid vehicle from the Lost Age. It is a branch of the Knight Mecha, but it is not a dual-purpose Colonial Knight, but a weapon that serves the purpose of war."

Gantula took two steps forward and stopped in front of the knight mecha named Tengu.

It stood over eight meters tall, and even a Space Marine had to look up to see it. From his perspective, the most striking feature of this war vehicle from the past was the protruding air intake on the chest.

The air intake goes deep into the core of the body, where the energy engine of this knight mecha is placed. The dark alloy of silver and gray makes up the ferocious shell. Even if it just stands there quietly, it is like a celestial dog from ancient times ready to devour its prey.

"I have heard of the legend of the Tengu in ancient mythology. It seems to be from the first millennium of mankind."

Chogoris has a very deep understanding of Terra's past. They even formed a unique oriental cultural system on an alien planet thousands of light years away from Earth.

When Roche came into contact with the Necrons on Sotha, he felt that he lacked a rapid support unit that was fast enough and had strong enough firepower.

Although the Thunderhawk gunboat is a flying unit that performs quite well, it will lose its room to operate when air superiority is taken away.

Therefore, Luo Xi found this war vehicle with a completely different style from the depths of Red Alert's database.

Compared to the cautious stop of the White Scars, the performance of the Iron Hands was incomparably fanatical. They were pleasantly surprised and intoxicated by this technological relic that was not recorded in the database, and used their own mechanically modified organs to try to analyze its body.

"Its [hands] and [feet] actually mainly serve as stabilizing wings. If what you said is true, when it returns to its aerial vehicle form, what is its maximum speed?"

Cleaver asked successively.

"The average speed in the atmosphere is about Mach 4 to Mach 5, which is limited by the driver's physical function. If it can withstand it, it can go even faster. Its vector engine can even make sharp turns during aerial dogfights. The high-energy laser cannon and large-caliber live ammunition machine guns it carries are enough to deal with most aerial enemies."

"In an environment outside the atmosphere, its speed will depend on the quality of the driver. I must explain to you: the soul of the Tengu mecha is extremely violent and difficult to tame. It will be an extremely demanding test for the driver to fully exert its capabilities."

The Tengu mecha's ultra-high maneuverability and transformation overload place extremely high demands on the user, both in terms of physique and skills. Especially when transforming, the people in the cockpit will bear most of the pressure.

"The sons of Chagatai are never afraid of a challenge. We are the most suitable drivers."

"If even we are not up to the task of controlling the Tengu, then no one in the Empire will be able to do so."

"Can I see it, that's what you said, should I call it a deformation?"

Guntula's voice was trembling, and he suddenly felt that his jet motorcycle was not so good.

Who would want a motorcycle with two wheels that can only run on the ground when you can drive a flying mecha?

"Of course, please stand back." Luo Xi signaled these Space Marines to leave some space, as Tengu's transformation was quite a big event.

When everyone retreated more than ten meters, the quietly standing Tengu mecha immediately began to transform its form.

The entire process, from an efficient ground combat vehicle to an air superiority fighter, lasted less than a second.

Its transmission system is simply incredible, able to adapt to two completely different combat styles at the same time.

Tengu's iconic "nose" air intake is located at the front of the fighter, and the pilot's seat is just above the energy engine. The streamlined wings that were originally folded behind the body are proudly spread out, truly showing in front of everyone like a Chogoris eagle.

Every inch of its metallic skin and every twisted and bent wing structure attracted the White Scar warriors like rare treasures.

Luo Xi seemed to hear a sound of people swallowing saliva, but it seemed to be just an illusion.

"Captain Guntula..." He turned around in confusion, only to find no one behind him. In a flash, the white scars had pounced on the suspended Tengu mecha, one after another clinging to the exposed wings, practically scrambling to get into the cockpit.

"I'll go first, everyone step back! I'm the company commander!" Gantula's voice was drowned out by the shouts of his fighting brothers.

I don't know who kicked him, but the White Scar Captain was pushed down by his combat brothers in a mess and was almost burned by the running vector engine.

"This is outrageous! Everyone, get down here!"

The aloof personality that Gantula had always maintained was a little bit off. This man from Chogoris lost his composure and immediately yelled at his men to return to their original positions.

Hearing that the captain was really angry, the White Scars Space Marines had no choice but to obey orders. They lined up in groups and waited for the captain's reprimand.

"Where's Qin Xin? Where did that kid go?"

Gangtula searched among the crowd but couldn't find a White Scar warrior named Qin Xin.

"Uh, he's there." Luo Xi pointed to the belly of the Tengu mecha. A white-scarred Astartes who had been silent all this time was now using his hands and feet to stick himself tightly in the belly of the Tengu.

Because of the obstruction of the wings and vector engines, Gantula was unable to find the guy hiding here for a while.

Luo Xi couldn't hold it back any longer, because Gangtula had already pulled down the kid who was clinging to Tengu's belly, took off his helmet, and grabbed his ears and cursed him.

"Qin Xin, what a nice name."

A person's cultural background can be seen from his name. Luo Xi was very surprised to hear such a familiar name.

Under the dual stimulation of the Thundercloud planetary-class battleships and the Tengu mechas, the caution and indifference pretended by these White Scar Astartes disappeared.

What is now presented before us is the true appearance of these Chogoris people, free and unrestrained prairie eagles.

"I'm sorry, that boy is just a new recruit who has served for ten years. He was unmannerly." After teaching Qin Xin a lesson, Gangtula said apologetically.

"I remember that the leader of the Fifth Legion, Chagatai Khan's Keshig Guard, was named Qin Xia. This Qin Xin and he were..."

Luo Xi was a little confused, his intuition told him that the two might be related.

"This kid is a member of Lord Qin Xia's clan. Unfortunately, he is still too immature. This war does not leave him much time to grow."

When talking about Qin Xia, Gangtula felt a little strange, with a slight sense of regret.

"Lord Qin Xia fought against the Emperor's Children traitor Eidolon at the Battle of the Kallium Gate. The damned traitor was about to be killed by Lord Qin Xia, but Eidolon not only lost his loyalty, but also the dignity of the duel."

"When Master Qin Xia was about to behead him, the despised traitor used the mouth that he had grown on his neck after undergoing a blasphemous surgery to launch a sneak attack using noise waves. Master Qin Xia was seriously injured and died."

A heavy haze hangs over the White Scars. The Chogorians will never forget this hatred. They will launch an eternal war hunt, vowing to cut off Eidolon's head.

"Sorry." Luo Xi didn't expect that just a casual remark would actually hit the sore spot of the White Scars.

The galaxy is too big, and with the obstruction of the destructive storm, too much information cannot be delivered.

"It's okay. Death is part of reincarnation. The Chogorians are never afraid of death." Guntula waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to feel guilty.

"After the cold winter leaves, the grassland will be lush and green again."

"We will always remember your kindness. Don't worry, we will join the Five Hundred Worlds in launching an eternal hunt against the traitors."
