Chapter 206 emp
half an hour ago
Led by a silent sister who carried an orc wizard on her back, a group of soldiers from the human empire used guns and artillery to clear the way and penetrate deep into the interior of the orc army.
The Sister of Silence can perform many tasks, but stealth is the only thing she cannot do. Without any instruments or monitoring, simply walking around, the Sister of Silence is enough to make all living creatures with souls around her feel abnormal and uncomfortable.
The Empire already has some expensive but effective methods of cloaking psychics to allow psionic units to disguise themselves as normal humans, but it has no means of countering the anti-psychic field.
This does not mean that the Sisters of Silence can use anti-psychic energy without limit. Just as the anti-psychic energy areas produced by the Sisters of Silence vary in size, the Sisters of Silence also have a threshold for limiting psychic energy. Therefore, some beings with extremely powerful psychic energy can still use psychic energy unscrupulously in the Sisters of Silence's domain.
However, there are obviously no orcs in the Black Water Section who are so strong that they can ignore the anti-psychic field.
Even though the imperial soldiers who were still able to maintain their combat effectiveness at this moment were the elite among the elite and veterans among veterans, casualties and reductions in personnel continued to occur. Soon, more than half of the team had been lost.
So the Sister of Silence who was responsible for detonating the orc waaagh energy had to order the team to stop. After making a specific gesture, the surrounding Astra Mila tacitly formed a defensive formation, protecting the Sister of Silence and the orc wizard in the center.
Then, the Sister of Silence used her chainsword to cut off the chains that bound the orc wizard and threw him to the ground.
In order to prevent these aliens from causing unnecessary trouble, every imprisoned orc wizard had his hands and feet chopped off and his teeth pulled out. The orc wizards who fell to the ground immediately began to twist and roll like worms, constantly banging their heads against the ground, exhibiting all kinds of self-mutilation behaviors.
Orcs are not unintelligent beasts, especially orc wizards.
Perhaps now this orc wizard feels that freedom is only one step away from him, but because of the existence of the Sister of Silence, he has been unable to embrace the fighting energy generated by his orc compatriots, so he becomes anxious and self-harming.
But what is more likely is that during the long and tiring battle, the orcs gradually understood the most effective way for humans to deal with them - using the Sisters of Silence and orc wizards to detonate waaagh energy, thereby causing huge damage to the surrounding orcs.
Perhaps these orc wizards trapped in cages are not yet clear about the specific steps to do this, but with their limited wisdom they can guess that these little shrimps are not letting them go out of kindness, but are using them as powerful weapons to attack their compatriots.
In that case, the behavior of this orc wizard might be understood in another way - this orc wizard is committing self-harm. He hopes to die before becoming a weapon to kill countless of his compatriots.
But unfortunately, the orcs' powerful bodies evolved for war cannot be damaged so easily, especially when their limbs are cut off and they lose their points of force, it is even more unrealistic to want to commit suicide in this way.
What is even more cruel to the orcs is that the waaagh energy is an alternative magic that makes their wishes come true. The orc wizards' belief that "after coming into contact with the waaagh energy, they will cause huge damage to their compatriots" will also be realized by the waaagh energy. The orcs' waaagh energy is not just a positive wish of the orcs.
There's a Warhammer joke that goes like this: A group of Igs are trapped in an Ork stronghold. Even though they've run out of bullets, the Orks keep coming. In a critical moment, the Ig captain raises his battery-depleted lasgun, aiming at the Orks and imitating the sound of a laser gun firing, "biu!" An Ork charging towards them responds, and the other Igs follow suit, firing their battery-depleted lasguns like "biu! biu! biu! biu!"... blasting away numerous Orcs. Finally, a group of greenskins huddle together and charge. No matter how many "biu!"s or "bom!"s the Igs shout, they won't fall. Only when the huddled orcs reach them do the Igs hear them shout, "I'm a tank, I'm a tank..."
So when an orc thinks that a pile of scrap metal can move, this pile of scrap metal may really move, and when an orc thinks that he can blow up a group of orcs, it may really blow up a group of orcs.
After throwing the orc wizard to the ground and making sure it would not run away, the Sister of Silence began to retreat.
However, according to the plan, the outer circle's defensive troops had to stay.
The ways for the Sisters of Silence to lift their anti-psychic stance are either to stay away or to die. Every Sister of Silence is always ready to sacrifice herself for the Empire, but they also know that their lives are also bargaining chips for the Empire, and bargaining chips should not be easily discarded in unimportant places. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the Sisters of Silence will still cherish their lives.
The Astra Militarum were well aware of the Sisters of Silence's retreat, but no one objected. This was planned long ago.
Those Astra Militarum troops who remain will die.
Not to mention how many Astra Militarum troops the Orks would kill between the time the Sisters of Silence retreated and the time their anti-psychic stance was completely lifted, when the waaagh energy was detonated, these mortals with fragile souls would also be doomed to die.
Although Waaagh energy is the exclusive psychic power of orcs, it can still be perceived by humans, such as Gloria and other pure mortals.
As mortals who are not psychics, these Astra Militarum soldiers are slightly more resistant to orc psychic energy than Gloria. Psychics are like precision electrical appliances that can withstand large currents and voltages, while they are just small alarm clocks. The rampant orc psychic energy is like a manic and unstable voltage and power supply. Therefore, Gloria's reaction to the orc psychic energy is so great.
Detonating an orc wizard is equivalent to directly exploding an emp or graphite bomb, and it explodes right in the face.
The Astra Militarum is also a bargaining chip for the Empire, but the combined value of 110,000 of these chips is not as great as that of a Sister of Silence, so after careful calculation, the cheaper chips will be discarded.
In fact, generally speaking, the ones who carry out such tasks together with the Sisters of Silence should be powerful Astartes. These transformed supermen born for war can not only more easily repel the orc wizards left behind by the orc protection, but also can directly withstand the psychic impact caused by the explosion of the orc wizards.
But now, the first batch of supporting Astartes regiments will not be able to land on the planet for at least two weeks.
Without any goodbyes or explanations, the Sisters of Silence began to evacuate.
With the withdrawal of the Sisters of Silence, the anti-psychic field began to weaken, the Ork offensive became more fierce, and more and more Astra Militarum soldiers died under the claws of the Orks.
In the center of the Astra Militarum defense circle, more and more waaagh energy penetrated into the brain of the orc wizard. The alien realized what was going to happen. It screamed hysterically, rolled around and hurt itself, but it was of no avail.
This fragile appliance is gradually being connected to a high-voltage power grid that it cannot withstand.
The invisible waaagh energy penetrated, but the orc wizard's tangible brain expanded little by little like a balloon. The orc's hard body structure prevented its head from exploding so easily, but the high pressure inside the skull still squeezed out the orc wizard's eyes, leaving only the nerve bundles behind the eyes connected to the brain.
Finally, after the last Astra Militarum soldier left behind was captured by the orcs, an orc finally managed to cut off the orc wizard's chest with a knife before it exploded. The orc wizard's chest cavity and only half of his heart could be clearly seen at the severed part.
But the orc wizard's heart still beats.
At this moment, the orcs' powerful body structure became the poison that killed them.
"boom!"
The balloon exploded, and brains splattered everywhere.
If there was a psychic who could remain rational under this kind of psychic impact and was present to record all this, he would see a nuclear bomb explode on the psychic level, and the powerful shock wave stirred up the already chaotic psychic turbulence and spread outward, and the brains of all the orcs affected by the shock wave exploded at the same time.
Even the airtight psychic barrier on the outer layer of the Black Water Section was torn open by the shock wave, leaving a huge hole that was slowly healing.
