The Bizarre Adventures of the Oil Man, but Starting with Warhammer 32K

Leon, who realized from the news brought by Occam that Mars was deeply involved in the Black Mechanicus, immediately understood that he was at the center of the chaos.

He had prepared a plan to escape, but how to actually escape from Lava City still needed to be put into practice.

"How about my solar-powered battle axe?"

"I've already put it far away from here."

"Very good, then let's play with them some more."

"Play? What do you want?"

In response to Occam's question, Leon smiled and pointed the axe at the Crusaders who continued to chase him.

"The only requirement is that the bigger the noise, the better!"

PS: The Great Plains of No. 41 is a rusty wasteland, a dumping ground for waste. No. 47 is the birthplace of the Servitors, and a large part of Mars' non-combat Servitors came from here.

Chapter 171: Man! What Can I Say?

Augustus realized something was wrong.

He originally wanted to insert false information into the Skitarii's predicted shooting matrix to ensure that Leon would not die so quickly, but those Black Shield Astartes who suddenly appeared had eliminated the approaching Skitarii before he could exert his strength.

His preparations were of no use at all.

The unexpected situation caused his logic to temporarily stagnate. He tried to identify the identities of these Astartes, but could not get any information from the deliberately painted power armor.

The only thing that is certain is that these Astartes are not Imperial Fists.

The logic engine told Augustus that his plan wouldn't be affected by this issue. But this unexpected situation still annoyed him.

"Don't worry about casualties, speed up the attack."

He issued a new order, "Let's put some real pressure on this sage who is constantly giving us surprises."

Without the obstruction of a great sage, the deployment of the Crusaders became coordinated and smooth under the command of the logical network. Countless Crusaders reorganized their offensive, but the sages coordinating with the battle-hardened Astartes were far from their match.

The Rust Seeker who was blocking the way was dealt with by Efron who was better at close combat. Before the hunter who was trying to aim at Leon could raise his gun, Leon had already jumped up with the rebound force of the wall.

A Ranger's head was split open, a mixture of blood and motor oil spraying onto the wall. The Ranger nearby logically tried to distance himself, but Leon had already taken the opportunity to disappear into the shadows of the passage.

"They are more familiar with the terrain of Lava City than we are!"

This is the only way the Rangers can respond.

The terrain map that Occam had explored in advance came in handy here. The Night Lord led the entire team forward in the overlapping shadows of the buildings. The four-man team, each doing their own job, relied on the complex terrain of Lava City to deal with thousands of enemies with ease.

"We either escape through the main gate of Lava City or leave here via an Archaeopteryx."

Amidst the chaos, Occam explained the next plan to Leon.

"Archaeopteryx? Why is it here?"

"We discovered it when we were scouting the Skitarii's deployment ahead of time. It's parked in a square not far from here. As long as you can drive it, we can use it to escape. But from my experience, this kind of unexpected vehicle is usually a trap prepared by the enemy."

Li Ang certainly knew about Chekov's gun: "So what is your real plan?"

"We'll pretend to go to the Archaeopteryx, and Koda will use his psychic powers to create the illusion that we want to seize the Archaeopteryx. But in reality, we'll make a surprise attack and escape directly through the main gate."

"August, who is in charge of this experiment, is involved with demons. Are you sure we want to use psychic energy to carry out this plan?"

"If you have a better idea."

"Then listen to me, let's take Archaeopteryx directly!"

With their target clearly in mind, the squad charged forward, their killing efficiency in the narrow terrain causing even the Skitarii to doubt their ability to eliminate them. Even though the priests repeatedly emphasized that there were only four of them, the morale of these soldiers, who had not yet been completely stripped of their emotions, began to weaken.

But this killing would not last forever. When Leon approached the square where the Arc'teryx was docked, the terrain inevitably opened up.

"I told you, stop them!"

Augustus raised his voice for the first time.

The speed at which the other party broke through the Crusaders exceeded his expectations.

The Mountain Phalanx has not detected any unusual movements in Lava City. If Leon is allowed to board the Archaeopteryx now - even if he has a backup plan on the Archaeopteryx, his plan will encounter unpredictable changes.

He needed to get the plan back on track.

"Turn up the heavy firepower, don't hold back!"

The intelligent robots assigned to him by Kubik were pressed into the battlefield. These predatory intelligent robots that looked like miniature knights were professional hunting experts.

Gathered in the square, they covered Leon with their revolving cannons with astonishing firing speed.

Leon held up an energy shield to resist, but Augustus, who knew Leon had this trick on Maxim, directly commanded the Greedy Hunters to move forward. They wielded special power blades and tried to cut Leon and his men in half.

The bolter's firepower seemed weak against the true cybernetic corps. At the crucial moment, Occam unleashed several strange grenades painted red. These grenades clung to the hull of the Greed Hunter, unleashing a terrifying force no less powerful than a miniature melta.

However, the Greedy Hunter Mechas of the light armor unit in the Intelligent Control Corps were instantly transformed into a ball of twisted scrap metal.

"Where did you get this good stuff?"

Leon was surprised.

"As for your apprentice, let's just say that the weapons of the orcs under your guidance are more reliable than those produced in the Forge World. He even made a few stasis grenades."

The last obstacle was removed, and the group quickly snatched the Arc'teryx. The cockpit of this transport Arc'teryx was just large enough to accommodate Leon, making Leon more certain of the vehicle's purpose.

But he wasn't worried about that: "Occam, would you like to see Mars at four in the morning?"

"what?"

"Hold on tight, we're about to take off!"

Li Ang connected his cable to the Arc'teryx's operating program, and the Arc'teryx flapped its wings and took off from the ground.

The Skitarii aimed their weapons at the air, but the ornithopter's design gave the Archaeopteryx incredible maneuverability.

Leon avoided all firepower and controlled the Archaeopteryx to climb. He soon reached a safe height, leaving behind only the Crusaders who looked at each other in bewilderment and the Great Sage with a grim face.

He had his own understanding of why Victor lost to Leon on Maxim.

This mysterious sage always manages to give you some unexpected "surprises" from nowhere.

But he was not the deputy foundry supervisor who was desperate at the time!

Even though he hadn't expected Leon to seize the Archaeopteryx so quickly, Augustus had made sufficient preparations. He revealed his second-to-last trump card: "Send out the Dragon Wing Soldiers!"

Unlike the Astartes' jumppack fighters, these Mechanicus's flying soldiers could truly fly. Upon receiving the order, the cyborg fighters quickly attacked, their powerful jet engines and lightweight bodies allowing them to quickly catch up with Leon's Archaeopteryx.

Occam attempted to shoot them down with his onboard blaster, but the dragonwings, whose wings were controlled by nerves, possessed aerial maneuverability far exceeding the aiming speed of the Astartes. They spun a vast web across the sky, entangled in the Archaeopteryx with their explosive bolt pistols and taser rods.

"Can't you go faster?"

Occam, who barely managed to fight back, urged, "If this continues, we're going to crash!"

"In fact, we're in trouble."

Li Ang quickly eliminated the continuous errors in the operating system, but his efforts seemed to be a drop in the bucket compared to the massive number of failures.

The Great Sage's final preparation came to light here - the electronic virus implanted in the Arc'teryx system began to take effect, interfering with Leon's control of the flapping-wing aircraft.

Leon originally thought that the great sage who had an affair with the devil would put an electronic devil in it, but it turned out to be a pure data attack.

The result of having to distract oneself from dealing with the virus while manipulating the system is that neither side will be happy, and the group on the Arc'teryx is in a dilemma.

The plane, which had been dodging the attack swiftly, slowed down, and the Dragon Wing Soldiers quickly tore a hole in its wings.

The Archaeopteryx, deprived of sufficient lift, began to descend in a spiral. The Dragon Wing Soldiers seized the opportunity to approach the Ornithopter, and Augustus took command of the Dragon Wing Soldiers closest to the cockpit. Through the cockpit window, the Great Sage met Leon again after Maxim.

"Is this reunion part of your prophecy engine's calculations, Sage Leon?"

"Yes, but I don't want that probability to happen."

Leon was still trying to clear the virus from the operating system, but the electronic bomb carefully prepared by a great sage was beyond his ability, as his brain had not been modified and he was at a natural disadvantage in data processing. "You seem to know me very well. I just stole your ball, didn't I? Why make such a fuss?"

"I don't care about Maxim. It was all part of my plan. You stepped forward and dug your own grave."

"You have a big plan too?"

"Of course, but you won't have the chance to know the plan."

Augustus ordered the Dragon Wing soldiers to raise their Taser rods and smash them against the cockpit with great force. Leon dodged the rods that smashed through the glass, but was unable to prevent the high voltage current from the rods from damaging the control system.

Li Ang tried to make a final attempt at negotiation: "Are you determined to kill me? Perhaps I can be a helper in your grand plan?"

The God of All Things does need more help, but the various minor variables that have occurred before have made Augustus want to completely crush this sage with his ever-changing tactics.

"Your death is part of a grand plan."

He created distance and completely destroyed the Arc'teryx's propulsion system.

"Be honored to be a footnote in the era. Your death will open the door to the future of Mars!"

The flapping-wing aircraft, which had been barely maintaining its flight, could no longer do so and plummeted towards the ground. Occam burst into the cockpit, and even the usually calm Alpha lost his composure.

"Tell me you're prepared!"

Leon didn't answer, and Occam gasped.

"Man!"

He locked the power armor, bracing himself for the impact of the plane's descent, but the expected impact never came. Confused, Occam restarted the power armor's systems, only to discover that the Archaeopteryx had landed steadily on the ground.

He realized that this was exactly where he had placed the solar-powered battle axe.

"how did you do that?"

he asked curiously.

"Please call me the legendary captain."

Li Ang picked up the solar-powered battle axe from the ground. The blade of the battle axe, which was powered by the soul stone, had gone out. He weighed the old axe with regret, realizing that he would not be able to use it until he found a new soul stone.

There was no other way. After all, his current crude and indistinguishable Protoss teleportation technology could only be implemented through Soul Stones. In addition, there was nothing around before the crash, so he was able to reach here alone through teleportation.

Li Ang removed the soul stone embedded in the battle axe and unexpectedly discovered that it had not been completely drained. The dim soul stone was struggling to emit a final glow, as if conveying some emotion or message.

Leon was still confused. He handed the Soul Stone to Occam and asked Occam to contact Koda.

"Let your wizard see what this bean sprout is up to."

Ockham did so.

"The soul power inside is already very weak, and no useful information can be obtained."

He quoted Koda's words: "But you can see that the Eldar inside are very agitated, and the remaining consciousness can only repeat the word death."

"what?"

Could it be that Douya has tortured himself into becoming a masochist?

But there was no time for Leon to delve into it. He took back the Soul Stone, and Occam confirmed with him: "What should we do next?"

"Of course we will retaliate."

Escaping does not mean safety. The sound of teleportation was too obvious. Augustus must know that he was alive.

Li Ang understood that this battle was inevitable.

"Perhaps we can just leave. Mars is clearly still in the dark about the Great Sage. Fighting him would mean fighting against all of Mars. I don't think that's wise."

"Ockham, you may have a point, but that's not what I want."

"What do you want?"

Occam was puzzled. Leon stood on the horizon of the Martian desert, gazing at the chaotic lava city in the distance.

"What I want is simple."

He pointed to Augustus's carefully guarded heart, a bright smile on his face.

"Let's burn this city to ashes!"

-

Augustus's face was ashen as he patrolled the ground again and again.

Of course he knew that it was impossible for him to find Leon's remains on the ground, he just couldn't believe that Leon had escaped.

"How could he still have a psyker? How could he have a psyker who could teleport?!"

No one around dared to answer his question.

Under the guise of General Forge's orders, he would encircle and attack Leon, creating a large enough commotion to have Leon killed in public—according to Augustus's original plan, this action would ultimately cause a rift between High Wall and Mars. Mars, plunged into chaos by the conflict between the two sides, would become a stage for his own actions.
