Sand, gray sand, like the remains of burned embers.
As long as there is the slightest disturbance, they will be blown away briskly, mixed with rolls of unclean air, and slap on the desolate soil slope, just like the waves licking the shore.
Looking under the dazzling sunlight, there seemed to be something bright and sparsely arranged among the gravel.
But if you walk over, bend down, and grab a handful of coarse sand, the sand grains will immediately flow away from the gaps between your fingers, so softly that it can almost be said to be brushing, without even a tiny sound of falling on the ground.
Yaya let go of the hand protected by the glove and let the gravel fly into the distance. But just a dozen meters in front of her, something seemed to be burning, exuding a strong smell of burning gasoline. This area was dotted with
Many shining fragments of dirt behind the slope.
With heavy steps, she moved forward a little, and finally saw clearly that a Wild Ass Creeper of the Mechanicum was almost completely burned out.
The two walking machines were like huge square weights, with four legs tilted like a dying beetle. It was unclear whether they were destroyed first and then rolled over, or whether they rolled over first and then were destroyed. The red iron shell had been burned by the fire.
It looked like remanufactured steel. The burned parts had turned into a rough and uneven gray scab. Someone seemed to have used some kind of explosive to penetrate a large hole in the side of the outer shell. The remains of one side of the car were burned to pieces by the fire.
The several white logos seem to represent its numbers.
The observation port on the front of the vehicle now lacks the order of the past. The two armor plates are missing. The hatch on the top is open, and the round hatch is swaying, as if it is still swaying in response to the unyielding death of an insect.
There should be a plasma cannon on the tentacles and in front of the hull, and there used to be a machine gun on the top hatch, but now it's a trophy for the victor.
The fate of the crew members who have never met seems to have become intriguing: were they lucky enough to escape, or were they captured when they got out of the car, or were they, like everything in this wasteland, turned into a wisp of ridiculous blackness?
cigarette?
With hatred, Yaya hoped that the death of the slave robot soldiers inside would be a little more painful, although she knew very well that these cyborgs would not suffer any pain at all.
"Yaya, it's time to go."
Behind her, the voices of her companions came. The female knight in heavy protective clothing bent down and took away a small piece of the wild donkey crawler. Then she turned around and trotted all the way to her motorcycle, and stepped on it.
Sit on it and snap the pieces onto a magnetic board. There are already more than a dozen pieces on it.
In addition to her, there were fifteen motorcycles and two Atalan all-terrain vehicles surrounding her. This was the entire strength of their 0083 Jackal Team.
And their vehicles are all from the "enemy", that is, the Mechanicus. First of all, motorcycles are a very common means of transportation in the Forge World, and Atalan all-terrain vehicles are the most common industrial small vehicles in the empire. They are usually equipped with destructive weapons.
Industrial gadgets like mining lasers and flamethrowers allow ATV riders to support agile crews on mining expeditions and battles. With machines like these, a mining company can reach out long enough to find new sites.
, feeding the Empire's endlessly hungry network of planets.
As a result, Atalan-class ATVs can be found in almost every industrial, forging, or agricultural sector of the Empire - like the ubiquitous lasguns, they are cheap to manufacture, highly durable, and easy to repair, making them something of a
Of course, there are many types of symbols in the human industrial field, especially in marginal areas and frontier areas.
The Black Limb Church has attached great importance to vehicles during its development period. From its initial days of picking up garbage and recycling scrapped vehicles, to later directly controlling the workshops in the mining area, the church accumulated equipment while training new blood who were skilled in driving and combat.
In the end, before the riot, the Black Limb Order already had a huge mobile force of more than 20,000 vehicles of various types, and formed more than 300 teams composed of various vehicles, naming them the Jackal Team.
During the battle, the Jackal Team will be like a difficult snake that keeps shuttling in the enemy's fire. The simple weapons in their hands become more deadly with the huge impact, and those mechanical priests who think they are just a group of stragglers will soon
They soon realized their mistake, because some jackals secretly carried mining explosives and unexpectedly dropped them among the enemies while moving at high speeds, causing annoying disasters.
However, their most important task is to fight against the roving units of the Mechanicus, such as the Dark Cavalry and the Hunting Intelligent Robots, or mobile units such as the Steel Walkers, and to maintain the ground transportation network between Scorch Oven City and other war zones.
In the early days of the riot, with the help of seizures, the number of Black Limb Order's combat vehicles once climbed to more than 100,000, and they even organized an "armored force" in a decent manner, claiming that they would defeat steel with steel——
The idea was a good one, but it was a pity that the Black Limb Order still underestimated the explosive power of a forging world. Although it was indeed caught off guard by the Jackal Team at the beginning, and once let the gene stealers connect several war zones together, but with the forging director
Mobilize forces in time, and a fierce counterattack follows.
Tens of thousands of underworld cavalry and hunting machine soldiers, combined with wild ass crawlers and heavy cavalry fighter servitors, began to form a giant net in the vast desert. At the same time, a large number of Archaeopteryx formed a tight surveillance network in the sky. The jackals soon discovered
They become birds in a net.
After a month of continuous fighting, the Black Limb Order was horrified to find that their vehicles had been reduced by half, and now there were less than 50,000 vehicles. And they finally realized clearly that those trucks, off-road vehicles or various engineering vehicles
, it is difficult to fight against real weapons, even the wild ass crawlers that have been ridiculed are difficult to deal with, let alone those combat soldiers.
At this time, the cult realized that the ground battle had turned into a bottomless pit, so they decisively changed their strategy and direction, abandoning the direction of Cui Fanke City where the enemy's power was most concentrated, and concentrated the Jackal Team in the direction of the No. 3 Holy Furnace Mining Area and the Slag Mountains.
Yaya's team is responsible for the desert area with a straight line distance of 200 kilometers from the No. 3 Holy Furnace Mining Area to Jiao Lu City.
The No. 3 Holy Furnace Mining Area is very important to the Order, because after the Order took control of Scorch Oven City, they confirmed that the Mechanicus was unwilling to bomb their precious machinery and foundries, so they immediately began to resume work, trying to manufacture weapons while fighting the enemy, but
Making equipment and weapons requires raw materials and energy. Raw materials are okay. After all, there is no shortage of metal in Coke Oven City, and a lot can be dismantled. However, energy cannot be solved. Part of the city's energy reserves has been destroyed during the riots, and the remaining energy cannot be solved.
The lower part can only last for 2 months at most, and at this time it relies heavily on the energy provided by the refinery in the No. 3 Holy Furnace mining area. Fortunately, the energy pipelines are buried deep underground, so there is no need to worry about being blown up by the enemy.
The Holy Furnace Mining Area was not completely occupied from the beginning, because the Black Limb Order dispersed its power to Trevank City, resulting in insufficient troops being invested here, and ultimately allowed the Mechanicum's defensive forces to gain a firm foothold.
