At this time, Cortana used the projection system of the original body's armor to image herself on the left side of the original body, and continued to maintain a calm appearance and reported:
"According to the recent scan results, the Farah named Xun Baraher has already sent its consciousness to the isolated island, and I...even if I use the World Engine as a relay, I cannot break into the interior of the isolated island.
And all the landing troops, including the 300 warriors and the original body Volkan, Anakin and other personnel, are in a disconnected state."
Speaking of this, Cortana also had her own insights and reminded: "Legion Commander, based on my analysis after invading the internal network of the Opatara Dynasty, I can know that Farah has an extremely strong fighting body. Even if he is a legion,
If the leader solves it himself, he will also judge it as a difficult matter..."
"So?" John interrupted Cortana coldly and asked rhetorically: "What's your point of view?"
Hearing this, Cortana took a deep breath and continued: "So, Legion Commander, if you don't go to the island in person, the offensive faced by the 1st Battalion will increase exponentially.
The most fatal thing, and one that is extremely detrimental to the development of the legion, is that if the two young primarchs die due to the order of the legion commander, this..."
Cortana didn't continue.
As an intelligent artificial intelligence, coupled with Legion-level intelligence, Cortana does have a considerable degree of "emotions", but she does not "pity" or "worry" about Vokkan and Anakin like humans do.
Life is at risk.
The main reason is that the two young primarchs really died as a result of this operation, then this will be a political black spot that can never be erased for the Spartan Legion.
If there is another Great Expedition or a war fought with the power of the Empire in the future, then the position of Warmaster will be completely missed by John.
In Cortana's eyes, nothing is more important than her Legion Master and the Spartan Legion. Of course, the first "credo" of all artificial intelligences and the instructions that must be followed is unconditional loyalty to the Emperor.
If the Emperor is absent, the intelligent artificial intelligence will switch the primary "Creed" to their Legion Commander and Legion.
"so?"
But John still did not have any emotional fluctuations, and asked: "If I lead my troops into the island because I am worried about their death, changing the situation where I originally had an advantage, and even causing the battle to fail before support arrives and complete the siege together, or
Our regiment has suffered serious losses, so you, the artificial intelligence, will be responsible for this?"
"This...I understand, Legion Commander." Seeing this, Cortana stopped providing her own opinions and continued to report:
"Legion Commander, according to the latest status reported by the company directly under the legion, it is estimated that the World Engine will be completely owned by Sparta in 45 minutes."
In response, John just nodded in response, and used the anti-gravity device of the God of War armor to "float" directly into the driving bolt, and returned to the head of the God's body to continue the connection.
Even though the body of God is in poor condition, the remaining power of the undead that can cleanse the world engine is still more than enough.
Moreover, the Lord of Sparta knew from beginning to end that once he took the World Engine as his own, Xun Barahir, who was forced to retreat to an isolated island by Cortana, would definitely pour out his anger on Volkan and Anakin.
.
But so what?
John was not the kind of person who would give up an excellent opportunity to reverse the entire battlefield situation or even turn defeat into victory for the sake of his so-called brothers.
Even though they are underage, fourteen years old, it is time for them to continue to understand that the human empire is not just a fantasy, but also cruelty, ruthlessness and war.
Before setting off from the earth, it is "a boy's journey through the mountains and rivers". After setting off, he has to bear the burden of being a primarch in advance.
Death is nothing to be afraid of.
What I fear is feeling useless and shrinking.
John saw these two points in Anakin's eyes. Even if the younger brother has the potential to surpass Magnus in terms of psychic abilities, once his character has "self-doubt" or even is influenced by the outside world...
Although pure spiritual energy can ensure that their original body and even the Astartes are free from the pollution of Chaos, the evil god will always have a way to appear in front of them like flies before it is completely eradicated.
Therefore, as the elder brother, John must let them bear the core of the whirlpool of war. As the original body of the Empire, John must correct Anakin's "self-doubt" and prevent the younger brother from repeating the mistakes of his previous life.

…
On the occasion of a fierce naval battle between Sparta and the fleet of the Opatara dynasty.
The five-dimensional area at the edge of the island.
Swish-!
Swish-!
The "elongated" and "slender" light trajectory instantly returned to normal, indicating that the 1st Battalion Fleet had completed the jump voyage.
At this moment, compared with the fierce naval battle, everything in this five-dimensional area is definitely safe.
The hundreds of warships that completed the jump broke this tranquility.
I saw an endless island with an incalculable area, which was very similar to the surface of the World Engine. There were streets, squares, residential buildings, etc. on the metal land, as well as various commemorative towers or statues of unknown meanings.
Although there are many super giant metal pyramids representing tombs, those pyramids are located deep in the isolated island, and there are actually metal green belts and metal vegetation here, adding a lot of "life atmosphere".
And the arrival of the fleet from the 1st Battalion shocked the "residents" who "lived" on this isolated island...
No, it should be said that those undead residents who mechanically walk between buildings and streets, and some even gather around open-air tables and "raise glasses to eat" with each other, are just repeating the same actions.
If you look closely, you can easily see that there is nothing on the dinner plate or in the wine glass.
Looking at it this way, Xun Barahir has an almost pathological obsession with everything in his life. This is one of the main reasons why the Opatara dynasty did not use the brilliant star map to explode supernovae at will in the "vibrant" galaxy.
.
The arrival of the 1st Battalion caused the vast majority of Necron who obeyed orders to go offline.
After all, they have never fallen asleep, but they have been running for tens of millions of years, so when they see an intruder, their thinking logic cannot function normally immediately.
Phew! Phew!
But that was a failure in the thinking logic of the low-level undead, and the high-level units with a certain degree of autonomous consciousness immediately picked up Gauss firearms and counterattacked with automatic anti-aircraft firepower.
However, compared with the fleet level, the firepower in this area is simply "itchy" for the 1st Battalion.
Boom! Boom!
After completing the angle adjustment, hundreds of ships launched their first salvo of artillery fire on the surface. At the same time, missile bays were deployed one after another, causing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of missiles of various equivalents to "wash the ground."
Immediately afterwards.
After the flash of the nuclear explosion, the ships began to break into the "high altitude" of tens of thousands of meters above the surface, dropped countless airdrop pods, released tens of thousands of carrier-based aircraft, and transport boats began to land.
Among them are Wokkan and Anakin, who are about to be hated by Xun Barahir.
