Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 70 Olivia's Crusaders
In fact, Olivia's technical team and apprentices, as well as her crusaders, were all brought here by Tonya on the foundry ship this time.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Chen Xi, she quickly let these people get down from the casting ship to the ground.

Seeing Olivia's face full of joy as she took back her Crusaders and technical team, Chen Xi couldn't help but marvel at the extravagance of this Crusaders.

If you compare a Skitarii unit with a Celestial Army unit of the same size, the Celestial Army is like the line infantry before World War I, with only a beautiful uniform and a pitiful musket.

And the Skitarii? The Skitarii are like a fully armed American soldier in the late Cold War.

While the Astra Militarum were still using laser guns, which were jokingly called flashlights, the Skitarii were using galvanic guns.

Although this weapon is a conventional weapon commonly equipped by the Crusaders, it can fire special bullets that cause energy explosions inside the target, and each one is a hand-crafted precision weapon.

(Galvanic Rifle)
As for transuranium weapons, radium weapons, arc weapons, plasma, phosphorescence... many good things that the big men of the Astra Militarum may have never even heard of in their lives are commonly equipped in the arsenal of the Crusaders.

Generally speaking, what kind of powerful weapon a Crusader Army can produce mainly depends on how wealthy the oil man to whom this Crusader Army belongs is.

When it comes to wealth, Olivia's teacher Belisarius Cawl is probably the richest man in the empire today.

It's like that famous joke: What if I've raised 400,000 Astartes without the High Lord's knowledge? The answer, of course, is to follow the example of Dora Kaur and support the Thirteenth Prince as Regent, bestowing upon him the title of Grand Sage of Control and General of the Forge of Mars!
Just imagine, what kind of technology and hard work can Cawl, who can pay Guilliman hundreds of thousands of fully equipped Primaris Astartes, prepare for his disciples?
The answer is a full twenty-four Castellan... No, I mean Castellan automatons equipped with phosphorus-fire blaster cannons.

(Castellan Automata, the cute Baymax)
There were also a large number of arc weapons and plasma weapons that were enough to make the Star Army cry. Chen Xi even saw a large number of heavily armored servitors equipped with gravity distortion cannons.

(The most powerful and domineering servitor in the entire empire, the Mechanicus's armored servitor)

Oh, the official translation of this thing seems to be Armored Assaulter, although Chen Xi is more accustomed to calling them Steel Tanks.

As for armored vehicles such as dragoons and dune crawlers equipped with tasers, there was naturally no shortage of them. Chen Xi even saw a rare flying vehicle such as the Arc'teryx.

(Dragoon, in theory this thing will never shut down, it is literally a perpetual motion machine)
(Dune Crawler)
(Archaeopteryx, if I remember correctly, this thing is an ornithopter)
"To be honest, this group of crusaders should be left by your teacher to guard his forge, right?" Chen Xi came to Olivia and asked her curiously.

In response to this question, Olivia, who was busy replacing the identification codes of her Skitarii, simply said, "You're overthinking it. The defensive force my teacher left behind is far more formidable than these guys."

Hearing this, Chen Xi raised his eyebrows. Could there be a more terrifying defensive force than these things in front of him?

Chen Xi scratched his brow and asked softly, "Could it be the General Cannon?"

"You actually know about the General Cannon?" Olivia was a little surprised. While the Inquisition knew many little secrets, the General Cannon had mostly been abandoned or sealed away since the Great Chaos 10,000 years ago. Not only the Inquisitors, but even the average Mechanical Sage had never seen one.

Simply put, this thing is used to destroy a fortress or hive with one shot during a period of market chaos, or to shoot down Titans.

Literally, one shot can bring down a Titan, because these things are naval gun-level weapons.

Although there are some small general cannons that are theoretically similar to the Shadow Sword, this thing is an anti-Titan weapon after all, and is more valuable than the Titan.

(The Divine Arrow-type Small General Cannon is a volcano cannon with slightly stronger firepower than the War General)

"I don't know how you know about the General Cannon, but..." Olivia paused her work and looked at Chen Xi seriously. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "How could a miracle of the Om Messiah like the General Cannon appear in a small forging world like Mariupol? Moreover, even my teacher would not use a General Cannon as a security measure. That would be too blasphemous to the creation of the Om Messiah!"

Chen Xi looked at Olivia and saw her serious expression. He finally shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I just saw the description of the General Cannon in some secret files of the Inquisition, so I was curious."

"It's normal to be curious. Not to mention you, any believer of Om Messiah will not miss the opportunity to admire the miracles of the God of All Machines." Olivia was not surprised by Chen Xi's curiosity. The rediscovery of any general cannon was worthy of a war between two groups of believers of the God of All Machines. This was a true miracle of the God of All Machines.

Chen Xi wisely dropped the topic. With the strength of Olivia's Crusaders, it was enough to overwhelm all the defense forces on Rostov II.

Some things don't matter if they are not said out loud, but if they are revealed, these oil guys won't mind dropping virus bombs or cyclone torpedoes on a border planet.

But compared to these, with this crusader army, Chen Xi felt that he could really touch a certain undead grave.

But before that, he needed to make sure whether Olivia would still serve him. After all, his previous promise to let Olivia serve him for thirty years was based on the premise that Olivia had nothing. Now that he had this crusading army, there was no guarantee that she would have some other ideas.

"Sage Olivia, I wonder if the agreement between us still stands?" Chen Xi asked Olivia solemnly.

"You mean my thirty years of service for you? Don't worry, I'm not at the point of denying what I promised." Olivia was very open-minded about this matter: "After all, it was something I promised, and it was precisely because I promised to serve you for thirty years that you helped me get back the Skitarii and the technical team. I won't burn bridges so quickly.

I will serve you for thirty years as agreed. During this period, I, my technical team, and the Skitarii will all be at your service.

Of course, I will assess the possible risks involved, and if there are tasks that are too risky, I reserve the right to refuse them."
