Titus Arrives
After meeting with representatives of the troops and refugees who had retreated to the Scintilla Hive World,
Qin Yun then asked Xi Ling to find "Night Lord Asks If Your Scalp Is Itchy".
Ask the other party to come see you.
Upon learning that it was a summons from the Guide, Scalp became very excited.
It's assumed he must have maxed out the Guide's favorability.
A special quest that grants the Aquila Medal has been triggered.
The Aquila Medal is currently the highest honor achievement in the game.
To date, only Warmaster has received this honor.
The reason for acquiring it was that the Warmaster was serving as a diplomatic envoy in Tyreen Hive City.
They unexpectedly obtained news of C'tan Shard.
Therefore, he received the highest honor medal in the game— the Golden Aquila Medal.
Scalp strode in and stood ramrod straight in front of Qin Yun.
"Guide, you were looking for me?"
Qin Yun coughed a few times before speaking.
"I have a task for you."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Scalp shouted loudly,
It's as if if you slow down or lower the volume, the task is lost.
"Despite what I am driven by, my esteemed Guide, my life and soul belong to you. I would gladly face any danger, even death."
"If you give the order, I will not hesitate to draw my sword against the gods."
Qin Yun: "..."
These young players are getting better and better at flattery!
Damn it, at this moment I should have spoken out righteously, not flattered like this.
But the words just wouldn't come out.
Being praised like this by the younger players is strangely enjoyable!
This must all be Slaanesh's fault!
Qin Yun opened a data projection, revealing the Forge World Las.
"Las is the most important Forge World in the Calissis Sector and our next strategic target."
"We have amassed our forces and are prepared to keep it firmly in the hands of the Imperium."
"But this world has a huge number of rebels and all kinds of powerful weapons. If we launch a rash attack, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties."
"I need someone to infiltrate and gather intelligence on the enemy, and to create panic and chaos when the main force launches its attack. Can you accomplish this task?"
"In the name of the Emperor, I can complete any task you assign me," Scalp said firmly.
A man who has become Astartes can never say no.
"Great, you can go and select a few suitable teammates to form a team."
"Xi Ling will give each of you a mission, and then you can set off."
Qin Yun reached out and patted his Scalp on the shoulder. "Don't let me down."
"Absolutely not."
After making Scalp confident statement, he went to find his teammates.
He quickly found several suitable teammates.
They are respectively Hawkeye (Raven Guard), Batman (Night Lord), Ling Ling Qi (Alpha Legion), Joker (Alpha Legion).
Each of them is skilled in disguise, infiltration, and stealth.
Following Qin Yun's instructions, Xi Ling assigned tasks to each of them.
Mission: Infiltrate the Forge World Las.
Mission 1: The Loyalists of the Las world have lost orbital control and are scattered across Las planets. Try to ascertain their situation and inform them that aid is imminent.
Mission Two: Also, gather intelligence on the enemy rebels' movements and make contact with the Loyalists.
Mission 3: Once the Imperium army arrives, sabotage key enemy-controlled areas. The more you destroy, the greater the reward.
Basic mission rewards: 50,000 Contribution Points, 15,000 Honor Points, and 3,000 Faith Points.
Commissions and bonuses are awarded based on specific performance.
This is the reward that regular team members can obtain.
As the team leader, the Scalp will be increased by 15% on this basis.
The five players who received the quest wasted no time and immediately set off.
They first traveled by merchant ship, disguising themselves as refugees, to reach the Malz World.
There, they were captured by rebel soldiers and enslaved on a slave ship that was responsible for transporting forced laborers to the Forge World Las.
Ultimately, it was sent to the Forge World Las.
The infiltration mission went smoothly.
The Forge World Las has a great need for population due to war.
Although Scalp and the others are Astartes, their height without their armor is only a little over two meters.
Many gang members in Hive City, or lunatics who like to use bio-enhancing drugs, have this kind of large build.
It's even more so.
Therefore, their presence does not seem abrupt, nor does it attract much attention.
The rebels didn't care about the slaves' past or where they came from.
They just need batches of consumables.
With the issuance of the war mobilization order,
Large numbers of refugees were sent to factories to work.
Those factories, like gluttons, devoured all the refugees, no matter how many there were.
The Mining Guild has built multiple mining areas in the Void to exploit resources from the asteroid belt.
Farming-themed players have also taken over many factories in the Scintilla Hive World.
MC Mythology, who was on a business trip at company expense, and his friends pooled together some Contribution Points and contracted several foundries.
After integration, it was named the MC Dynasty, and began to accumulate resources for its great wonder project.
He joined Dora Workshop only as a last resort to earn his first pot of gold, and did not plan to stay for long.
Once he completes the task of remodeling the Exemplar Fist battleship, he will leave and run his own factory.
As soon as the factory started operating, players from MC Legend, MC Epic, and other Dynasty games began to take over.
They launched new military products at top speed.
Dora Workshop has already started making Exoskeleton Armor and mecha.
They avoided direct competition and chose the drone field.
MC Dynasty's members come from all walks of life, including many top talents in their respective fields.
They came together because they were determined to build wonders in various game worlds.
Once the MC Dynasty was established, these top talents took action in the real world, offering advice and providing technical support.
Soon, relying on existing technology and materials, they designed a unique swarm drone.
In order to promote its products, MC Dynasty cordially invited Qin Yun, the Guide, as well as military generals, players and others to watch the demonstration of the MC Dynasty's first drone.
"This is our first Drone Bee design, named Tian-Shu X1. It features Droplet -shaped streamlined design and is covered with an adaptive color-changing nano-coating, which allows it to blend into the surrounding environment and achieve a stealth effect."
"Modular design, can be disassembled into multiple units, simple and cheap maintenance, just replace whichever one is broken."
"Equipped with an anti-gravity levitation system, it can rely on the quantum force field to break free from the Earth's gravity, achieving silent hovering and instant acceleration."
"Equipped with the Cogitators intelligent control module, it can synchronize with the operator's consciousness through a neural interface."
"Equipped with a phase pulse emitter, it can switch between a scanning mode that penetrates buildings and a destruction mode that penetrates armor."
"In addition, it can be equipped with weapons such as Multiple Bolt Gun, laser emitters, and Melta Beam emitters."
"In addition, the Tian-Shu X1 also features a war swarm design. The entire swarm network can be controlled by a mothership equipped with Wetware, and can carry out suicide attacks with bombs."
"More importantly, its cost is very low. If mass-produced, one unit can be purchased for only 2,500 Sky Eagle Coins."
MC Legend enthusiastically promoted the performance of the Tian-Shu X1 drone to everyone.
"2,500 Sky Eagle Coins per unit, that's a really low price," Colonel Quintus said.
The Departmento Munitorum pays Astra Militarum soldiers a monthly salary of around three to four thousand.
Including war allowances, it should be more than five thousand, with death benefits calculated separately.
Whether or not it is issued is another matter.
According to the regulations of the Departmento Munitorum, this is the amount of salary that an Astra Militarum must be paid.
"This is blasphemy against Omnissiah," a Magos said angrily. "These technologies have not been verified and are at risk of blasphemy and heresy."
"The messenger of Omnissiah is standing right there." The person next to him pointed to Qin Yun in the crowd.
"In any case, these technologies have not been verified by the Sacred Cog," the Magos said. "Using them rashly could bring unimaginable dangers."
"Sorry, we are not members of the Adeptus Mechanicus," MC Legend replied to the Magos.
"According to Imperium law, you have no right to accuse us. Moreover, these drones are equipped with Wetware and possess immortal souls. I believe they probably have far more flesh and blood Wetware than you do."
"Omnissiah never rejects the truth, and rejecting progress has never been His intention."
Qin Yun spoke up, which was seen as supporting the player's words.
"The Imperium's technology also needs some appropriate innovation."
Qin Yun's words displeased several Conservatives members of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Clearly, they could not accept the God Chosen rashly altering the creations of Omnissiah.
But Qin Yun publicly supported him, and they had no choice but to comply.
Ironically, the rebellion launched by the Colin Family indirectly helped Qin Yun.
Otherwise, if the Conservatives faction of Calixis's Adeptus Mechanicus launch an attack on him together, he would probably be in a terrible predicament.
This rebellion weakened the Adeptus Mechanicus the Calixis Sector.
Otherwise, Qin Yun and these Tech-Priests would have to fight several times before they could continue to push forward with technological reforms.
The Adeptus Mechanicus Tech-Priests uphold Mars Dogma and prevent others from making research, often simply out of a need to protect their own interests.
The Adeptus Mechanicus themselves are secretly researching Xenos technology and all sorts of dark and heretical things.
With Qin Yun's endorsement, MC Dynasty's Tianshu X1 Swarm Drone secured several military orders.
This can be considered a good start.
Once the product quality is verified, it will experience explosive growth.
"The enemy must have planted agents in the world of Scintilla to monitor our every move."
"They will definitely try to crush us in the Forge World Las Rasforge, exhausting most of our manpower."
"Strategically, we can despise the enemy and publicize their weaknesses and vulnerability. But tactically, we must take the enemy seriously and fight every battle well."
"All units should make more use of new equipment and develop new tactics. They can no longer be as rigid and outdated as before."
"Every soldier is the Emperor's currency, and must not be wasted. Of course, I'm not saying that sacrifices are unacceptable, but that sacrifices must be worthwhile."
After watching the drone demonstration of the MC Dynasty,
Qin Yun led Lothar, Aing, and others back to the Strategic Command and gave them a new round of war instructions.
We must criticize the foolish tactics of mindlessly using human lives to seize victory, and instead arm ourselves with the power of technology.
Quintus and the others dared not refute, and could only listen obediently.
"Your task now is to familiarize yourselves with the newly equipped army as quickly as possible. I don't want you to make a mess of things when you take over the world of Las."
As soon as Qin Yun finished speaking, a messenger walked to the door of the Strategic Command.
After obtaining permission from the guard at the door, he walked in from outside and performed an Aquila Salute.
"Report."
Qin Yun said succinctly,
"Explain,"
The messenger said, "Living Saint, we have received a communication from a Battle Barge. They claim to be from the Deathwatch Legion and request our assistance."
Qin Yun asked, "Did they give their names?"
"The other party claimed to be the captain of the Kill Team — Noolrus."
Qin Yun's eyes widened, revealing a look of surprise.
Noolrus?
Isn't this the alias Titus used in the Deathwatch Chapter?
