As an Eldar, he inevitably became curious about those humans.
The initial construction speed could be attributed to the monkeys being well prepared, but the subsequent speed at which they produced technical equipment was completely abnormal.
Before leaving, the Ranger Team told him that those monkeys could produce half a hundred sets of power armor for the mortals among them in one day just by using such a large territory. How did they achieve such efficiency?
At this rate, they could produce 1,500 sets of mortal power armor in a month, which in half a year would be more than the total number of all the Eldar warriors on this planet.
If these humans were given a little more time, their barbarian compatriots might be crushed by those humans, instead of what he had imagined, where they could use their home advantage and greater agility to engage in a protracted tug-of-war with these humans.
As for their Ark Eldar, the fighting power of the Aspect Warriors is usually above that of ordinary Astartes, but the Eldar who can become Aspect Warriors are a minority in the entire Aida.
He still didn't know the actual combat effectiveness of these mortals wearing power armor, who looked like little Astartes, but even if these power armors were just enhanced versions of carapace armor, given the number of humans, they were enough to pose a serious threat to the sparsely populated Aida.
They really can't leave these monkeys with unlimited potential alone any longer.
"I will contact the Ark's Council of Prophets."
Isram decided, in what could be considered a response to Caledon, "Hunting down the Undead Overlord is our mission. We cannot give up. As for the threat posed by the monkeys on this planet, I will report it truthfully and await the decision of the Council of Prophets."
Caledon was not satisfied: "Just report it?"
"I'll convince them to send us more people."
This answer was unsatisfactory. Caledon did not continue to press the issue, but he still warned:
"You, the people of the Ark, always like to describe every enemy as a world-destroying crisis, but turn a blind eye to the threat right in front of you. But this time, you must make a choice, otherwise your friends will no longer be friends, and your home will no longer be your home!"
Isram sighed and didn't say much, but was glad that he had at least gotten away with it.
He took his leave from the Hall of the Sacred Tree, intending to return to his Ark via the planet's webway to discuss the matter with the Council of Prophets.
But an Ark warrior hurried over and told him an unexpected news.
Isram confirmed it again in disbelief, but no matter how many times he confirmed it, the other party responded with affirmation.
"Those monkeys are marching towards the ruins?!"
-
The prophet didn't expect that before they could cause trouble for those humans, these humans would come to them on their own.
But for Li Ang, this was the result of careful consideration.
It was a well-known fact that the Eldar were known for making things more complicated and worse. If their souls had not been destined by Slaanesh, Leon believed that Tzeentch would have designated their prophets as the Chosen Ones.
The solution is simple if you don't know what a group of Eldar are planning.
Fuck them hard and that’s it, they’ll talk themselves out if they can’t handle it.
This is the experience Leon learned from Larry, and now he wants to put it into practice.
The undead army that had been prepared to protect the mining station from attacks was mobilized, led by Mercado, and marched towards the ruins.
After receiving the news, Isram rushed to the front line and met with the angry Keldos.
"How dare these monkeys attack? I will hang their heads in front of them to commemorate our fallen compatriots!"
Isram's spirit bone staff was placed across the warrior's chest, stopping his impulsive steps. "Calm down, Keldos. Even those who practice the warrior's way should control their anger. Otherwise, the High Heavens could capture our souls at any time."
Keldos calmed down a little, and the prophet had the opportunity to consider the pros and cons.
The advancing human troops numbered about five thousand, accompanied by a hundred siege tanks.
Under Mercado's instruction, they maintained a perfect wedge formation while marching, and from a tactical point of view, he could not find any opportunity to exploit.
"Five thousand heavy armored troops, coordinated with armored units..."
The prophet murmured softly, feeling that the situation was quite tricky.
Keldos, who always held monkeys in contempt, snorted coldly, thinking the prophet was being too cautious: "A monkey is still a monkey, even if it's covered in iron."
In Si Zhan's opinion, the force feedback power armor worn by those humans were nothing more than nice-looking iron sheets, or fully enclosed shell armor. In any case, they could not withstand the crab claws and chain swords in their hands.
According to traditional Eldar tactics, they didn't need to look for flaws in the enemy's deployment. All the Eldar warriors had to do was charge in. With combat power far superior to that of humans, they could take the head of the enemy leader amidst the vast enemy force, and the enemy would collapse.
How many people do we have?" Isaram suddenly interrupted.
"...half of it is still playing hide-and-seek with that skeleton in the maze."
The warrior admitted reluctantly.
That is less than 500 soldiers.
Are we going to use this kind of force to fight against five thousand enemies armed to the teeth?
Logically speaking, this is the winning ratio. The Eldar can win as long as they are willing to sacrifice more people.
But first of all, they didn't want anyone to die, and secondly, Isram didn't think these troops in power armor were the same as those Astra Militarum.
"They aren't the big guys in the Astra Militarum who just make up the numbers. We should be more cautious."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Delay them and use our stealth and mobility to ambush them. Focus on destroying their armored units and absolutely avoid direct engagement."
The Warlord was not convinced, but since the Prophet was the leader of their operation, he had no choice but to obey.
They chose a place with dense jungle on both sides as an ambush point. Several assault scorpion teams lay in ambush, with rangers nearby to provide support.
When the human troops entered here, they did not take action. It was not until they were halfway there that the Eldar warriors suddenly attacked and attacked them halfway across the river.
When the first soldier was brought down by the Ranger's sniper rifle, the alarm fed back from his life monitoring system prompted the entire force to respond quickly.
"Enemy attack! Three o'clock!"
They sought cover on the spot and simultaneously turned the muzzles of their gauss rifles towards the direction the enemy was coming from. There was no confusion as the Eldar had expected, and the entire battle was completed in less than half a minute.
But the Eldar are the Eldar after all, and their genes carefully edited by the Ancient Saints make them naturally faster.
"Quick attack, no trace!"
Keldos's battle cry echoed as the Assault Scorpion Squad rushed out of the forest like ghosts, aiming directly at tanks they had never seen before.
Si Zhan, who led the team personally, slashed at an Undead soldier with his chain sword, but the blood and flesh flying as he expected did not happen.
The chain blade of the chainsword got stuck in the chest of the power armor. Although the mortal warrior stumbled to his knees, severely injured by the blow, he was still a step away from death. He even managed to struggle to raise the rifle in his hand.
Keldos' heart sank, realizing that the prophet's caution was correct.
There was a world of difference between these people and the Star Army soldiers, four or five of whom he could kill with one sword!
But he did not give up the mission of attacking those tanks.
They lacked the manpower and weapons to deal with heavy armor, and if they could not destroy these tanks, they would undoubtedly be defeated.
"Be careful, keep thinking!"
Keldos kicked the struggling soldier, but wasted no time in killing him. He shouted a warning to the bloodthirsty followers of Khaine: "Once we complete our mission, we will evacuate!"
Under his leadership, the Assault Scorpions suddenly accelerated. During their assault, Raynor, who had been ordered by Mercado to accompany the Mechanical Priest, rushed to the front lines at top speed.
The battlefield looked in chaos. Even though the Undead Army maintained order, the Eldar had disrupted their formation.
Several tanks had been overturned by explosions or were on fire, and it was obvious that they had partially succeeded.
As one of the few people with experience in fighting against the Eldar, Raynor felt that he should step forward and command the Undead Army to fight the enemy.
"Disperse the formation!"
He shouted: "Give up appropriately and don't give the Eldar a chance to annihilate us!"
No undead soldier obeyed Renault's orders, which made Renault, who served as Mercado's deputy, very embarrassed.
Mercado kindly reminded him over the comms: "Don't worry, the next battle is the Undead Army's."
Since Leon wanted to train this law enforcement officer, Mercado was willing to give him a chance to try.
But first, Raynor needs to understand how the undead army fights.
As soon as Mercado finished speaking, the Mechanical Priest who came with Renault walked into the formation.
Unlike the typical pursuers who accompanied the troops, this priest was a data craftsman. Covered in electronic cables, he was a data terminal himself.
He set up a data node and plugged his electronic cable in. Instantly, the displays in all CMC power armor helmets, including Raynor's, lit up simultaneously.
Countless pale blue prediction paths suddenly appeared in Raynor's vision. Every possible route for those Eldar warriors, who had once moved as fast as lightning, was now clearly marked by the system.
These predictions directly guided the soldiers' Gauss rifles. The power armor arms attached to the Gauss rifles even made minor adjustments to assist the soldiers in pointing their guns in the predicted directions.
"This……"
Having come into contact with the weapons and equipment left in the ruins, Renault was no stranger to high technology. However, the extent of this high technology still made him tremble.
What kind of high-tech can deliver the answers directly to your eyes?
Mercado understood Renault's surprise because his previous performance was similar to Renault's.
"Surprised? It took me a while to get used to it. I once served on Terra, and my unit was known as the most elite in the Empire. Each of us underwent the most rigorous training, and we were capable of fighting one against a hundred on the battlefield. But after seeing this power armor, I realized that our training was nothing."
Mercado lamented, "Training is just the icing on the cake. Faced with the absolute disparity in equipment, all our efforts are in vain."
But fortunately, unlike the time on Terra, he, the Undead Army, and even Leon were no longer enemies.
He became Leon's subordinate and also bathed in the glory of this technology.
"Now, we fire."
He ordered calmly.
PS1: They really try hard to dress themselves up as scorpions (usually chainsword + shuriken pistol, or chainsword + power fist like scorpion tail)
PS2: GW is introduced as follows:
These warriors of the Assault Scorpion Aspect are as deadly as their name suggests. In the warrior's way, the Assault Scorpion Aspect warriors are the most adept at hand-to-hand combat. They are all cold-blooded killers, obsessed with hunting and slaughter, cloaked in mist and shadow until the moment of their destruction. Assault Scorpion Aspect warriors embody the wrath of Khaine, the Bloody Hand, and they unleash brutality upon their enemies without warning.
PS3: Interestingly, the first Phoenix Lord of the Assault Scorpion is the only Phoenix Lord with clear records at present. He fell into chaos because he was too obsessed with killing.
Chapter 254: Not only did they lose the Soul Stone, but they also lost their soldiers.
The characteristic of the human empire is that it has no miniaturized intelligent systems.
Although making wetware or simply treating the driver as wetware is an indispensable feature of the Empire, in fact, the Thinker system has good computing power even without connecting to wetware.
It's just that the stacking of electronic chips makes it too large, and the stacking of materials for computing power makes it have a kind of beauty that resembles the transistor era where a computer would occupy an entire room.
The smallest Thinker can only be placed on a Knight-class unit like the Tiantu-class Titan. This kind of equipment naturally cannot be used on ordinary power armor.
Including the Space Marines' power armor, the servo system can only provide prompts, and the actual operation needs to be completed by the user himself.
This means that even if mortals have power armor available, the actual effect they produce when using it because their brains are not enhanced is far less than that of the Astartes, which has a 1+1>2 effect.
But CMC power armor is different. The intelligent system that is rarely seen in Warhammer is only common for everyone in the Koprulu sector.
Moreover, the humans in the Koprulu Sector are just UED exiles, so it is hard to imagine what level the human federation in "StarCraft" is.
But these are all matters of another universe. When Leon brought this technology to Warhammer, in order to adapt it to the local conditions and customs of Warhammer, he chose to castrate the intelligent system within the CMC power armor, leaving only basic auxiliary functions.
There was nothing that could be done about the lack of computing power. However, when Leon had a mechanical priest following him, he suddenly realized that the lack of computing power could be made up in a different way.
As if commanding the Skitarii, the Data Artisans used their computing power to construct a prediction matrix, connecting all Power Armor users present to the sacred logic network. With mutual support, the Undead Army quickly locked onto the Assault Scorpions trapped within their ranks.
No need to think, no need to hesitate.
With the support of intelligence, all they have to do is follow the predicted route and pull the trigger.
Following Mercado's order to fire, the Gauss rifle suddenly spewed out flames, and steel nails covered the Eldar like a torrential rain!
Gauss rifles have always been criticized for their low lethality, but their high speed and high penetration are extremely effective against the Eldar.
Faced with the firepower blocking their route, the Eldar's extraordinary reaction speed allowed the Assault Scorpion warriors to see the trajectory of the steel nails clearly.
They instinctively wanted to dodge, but even after dodging, their positions were blocked by the steel nails that were fired at an extremely fast speed, and they had no room to dodge at all.
Steel nails rained down on them like a torrential rain. Most of them were bounced off by their excellent armor, but a few still penetrated their armor and drilled into their bodies, tearing bloody holes in their already slender flesh and blooming gorgeous blood flowers.
Even the Eldar warriors couldn't help but roar in pain from the damage. A few unlucky souls who were hit in vital areas fell headfirst to the ground, motionless.
Keldos suddenly realized that he had underestimated these monkeys.
He felt that he had taken it seriously enough, but they still gave him a "surprise" when he was caught off guard.
These humans, through these devices, can actually keep up with their speed and even predict their movements!?
When did monkeys acquire this level of technical proficiency?!
Shocked and angry, he glanced at the enemies present and spotted the data craftsman who was providing technical support.
