Chapter 188 Mechanic
Countless orc super factories sprang up from the ground, and colossal war machines such as the "Ancient Giant Chicken" and "Gorilla King Kong" were manufactured...
Although the orcs have not yet launched a full-scale attack, massive orc armies have begun to approach the hive world, constructing defenses and establishing strongholds...
"Are we just going to watch like this?" Russell asked.
General Gil smiled wryly: These are not things that you and I should be thinking about. We cannot retaliate before the orcs attack. This is an order from our superiors!
"What kind of superior would issue such an order?" Russell was now very dissatisfied with the "superiors" here.
"I know you have your own thoughts, but we are soldiers, and obeying orders is our duty!" General Gil said helplessly.
Russell fell silent, as did General Gil. Both of them stared at the orc monitor, which was filled with more and more red dots. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before the hive world was surrounded by orcs like an iron barrel. If they waited until then, it would be too late.
"General Jill, do you know? I've been fighting for the Empire as a member of the Star Guardian for over a decade, and this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this?"
General Jill smiled wryly: This is the first time I've encountered this situation.
What exactly is going on up there?
"Those above are playing a game of power, and the outcome of this war is of no importance to them."
“If this world is destroyed, then their struggle will be meaningless!” Russell couldn’t understand what these high-ranking officials were thinking at times.
"That's not something we should worry about. Besides, destroying this place isn't an easy thing!"
"The Imperial Guard is no match for the Orcs, and there are no Space Marine Legions stationed here?"
As for the distribution of power here, Russell knew less than General Giles.
"Here you will find not only the Imperial Guard, but also the State Church's Guard, the Mechanicus's 'Warrior Legion,' knight families, the 'Titan Knights' Legion, and the private guards of nobles."
"To be honest, I'm a little ashamed to say that although I've fought for many years, I've never fought alongside the warrior legions of the Mechanicus or the Titan legions of the knight families!" Russell said with a touch of self-deprecation.
General Giles said: "Although I am a lieutenant general, this is my first time."
Just as the two were talking, a guard walked in from outside.
"General Jill, does someone from the Cult of Mechanics want to see you?"
General Jill frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: Let him in!
A moment later, a very tall person walked over.
“These are the Mechanics, we call them ‘oil guys’ in private!” General Gil whispered to Russell.
The person was completely covered in a red cloak, making it impossible to see what the person inside looked like.
The two men, who were working on motor oil, were in front of each other.
"Are you General Jill?" the oil guy asked in his strange voice.
General Gil nodded and said: I am General Gil. May I ask what business you have with me?
"We've discovered some mutated creatures in the lowest level of this hive world. They're wreaking havoc on underground cables and water resources. I've heard that General Jill has an elite Kashejin warrior force here?"
General Gil glanced at Russell and said: "That's right, this is Captain Russell, the commander of the Kashejin warriors."
The oil guy quickly turned his gaze to Russell, who felt an invisible laser instantly sweep over his entire body. In that instant, the oil guy had scanned and recorded all of Russell's body data and uploaded it to the higher-ups of the Mechanicus.
The motorist's behavior was very impolite. Russell frowned slightly and said: "Collecting other people's data and information without their permission is not a very polite thing to do."
Instead of answering Russell's question, the motorist said: "Captain Russell, we need your help?"
Russell smiled slightly and said: Why should I help you?
"Because those mutated things are destroying cables and water resources, we must stop them!" The oil enthusiasts spoke in a stiff and strange way, as if they were programmed.
Actually, Russell had already decided to help these techies by this point. Both the underground cables and the freshwater resources were the lifeblood of this Nest City world. However, Russell felt uncomfortable agreeing to help them.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Motor Oil, I can't help you!" Russell accidentally blurted out something he shouldn't have.
The oil guy stood there stunned for a moment before saying, "Excuse me, Captain Russell, my name isn't Oil Guy, it's 'Steel Gear.' Why can't you help us?"
"I am a soldier and have not received orders!" Russell replied briefly.
The oil guy nicknamed Steel Gear was standing there again, and this time he stayed for a long time. Russell felt he should communicate with his superiors.
Half an hour later, the motorist said, "I'm sorry, Captain Russell, General Jill, we've disturbed you!" Then he turned to leave.
There is currently no one in the world who can directly command "Blade of Fire".
Theoretically speaking, Russell could choose not to participate in the battle if he didn't want to.
After investigation, the higher-ups at the oil company also reached this conclusion, which is why Steel Gear decided to leave.
“Stand still!” Russell shouted.
The motor enthusiast turned around and asked: "Captain Russell, do you have anything else to do?"
"Your name is Steel Teeth, right?"
"My name is Steel Teeth!"
“I can help you, Steeltooth, but what reward will you give me after the mission is completed?” Russell wasn’t going to do this kind of help for nothing.
“Captain Russell, what do you want?” Steeltooth asked.
"How about a hundred anti-gravity locomotives?" Russell asked, making an outrageous demand.
After a moment of silence, Steel Tooth said, "Yes, Captain Russell!"
Russell was completely taken aback by the fact that these tech enthusiasts would agree so readily, and he was overjoyed, saying, "Then it's a deal, we can't go back on our word."
Steel Teeth clearly didn't understand what "reneging on a debt" meant and said: "The Mechanical Cult has already agreed to your request."
This was entirely due to Russell's ignorance of how wealthy the Cult of Mechanics was, and the Cult of Mechanics' ignorance of Russell's ignorance! Russell should have asked for a thousand anti-gravity vehicles or something even more valuable.
After the motorist left, Russell was still smiling and saying: This is really great. With these 100 anti-gravity motorcycles, I can organize a more powerful motorcycle army.
General Giles scratched his head and said, "Brother Russell, don't you know anything about the Mechanicus?"
Russell glanced at General Jill with a puzzled look and said, "I know about the Cult of Mechanics? What's wrong?"
"I see you still don't understand the Cult of Mechanics, otherwise you wouldn't have only asked for this much?"
“That’s already quite a lot!” Russell felt he was being very greedy.
