Chapter 582 Landing, Encountering the Enemy, Father's Heart
Bang!
Everyone in the narrow torpedo cabin was shaken, and the red status indicator light also changed color quietly.
Seeing the pale skull in the middle of the gate in front of him making a unique friction sound of copper alloy while turning, Calvin finally dispersed the psychic energy that had been condensed in his hand and led the team to the gate supported by the hydraulic system.
With the blessing of the Emperor, in the short flight just now, the aliens did not find Calvin who was hidden in the camouflaged torpedo group.
In addition to being afraid, he was more determined to personally participate in the vanguard team.
Someone has to take risks, so why not him?
If the landing torpedo he was riding was hit, he still had the ability to pull out a portal to transfer; but what about the other Grey Knights? How could they have such ability?
"Gorgon! Sutherland!"
Calvin looked at the overly empty deck cabin in front of him and contacted the leaders of the other two teams in the psychic communication channel.
In the first wave of attacks just now, the bomber group's close output effect was not ideal;
Although Calvin repeatedly reminded, the enemy's mobility far exceeded expectations, and the bomber pilots still left far more enemies than planned after adopting targeted regional coverage tactics.
And this poor aftereffect of the attack also directly affected the escort fighters that followed closely, and even the smooth progress of the torpedo landing craft.
Groups of alien fighters exchanged fire with the escort aircraft sent by the fleet at medium and short distances.
The human fighters were unable to effectively lock on to the opponent, and could not exert the killing power of physical ammunition at medium distances;
And the power of energy killing weapons was not enough to penetrate the opponent's defense system that obviously had a technological gap at this distance.
So human fighters continued to fall, and the landing torpedo group they protected also suffered high-density saturation attacks.
But fortunately, in this batch of landing torpedoes, the real payload was only three teams of Gray Knights.
And because they had already had experience in fighting, Calvin deliberately asked these Grey Knights to take out and use the sedatives in their power armor before setting off.
So the three Grey Knights, whose heartbeats became lower and whose body temperature radiation was close to zero, finally managed to get to the edge of the Blackstone Fortress among a group of fake targets mixed with living creatures and Imperial Marines.
And this was because they deliberately adjusted the flight angle of the landing torpedoes, because this place was just not far from the landing battlefield of the aliens and the defenders.
Before the torpedo group arrived at the fortress, Calvin had already issued an order to use two information virus bombs exclusively for the Inquisition to force the servo on this side to open;
This behavior was a choice made out of necessity, because they not only had no time to communicate with the defenders of the Blackstone Fortress, but they were not even sure whether they agreed.
But the special feature of this landing support operation lies in the peculiar structure of the Blackstone Fortress.
The obsidian-like material has an amazing inertia in response to energy. Even the plasma weapon, which is said to be the strongest penetrating weapon among individual weapons, can only leave a shallow melt mark on the wall of this black stone when it is fully charged;
Unfortunately, the main building material of this huge fortress is composed of these stones.
As for the small-power hot melt demolition guns on the landing torpedoes that Calvin and his team took; unless they are extremely lucky, they can hit the rare human buildings on the surface of the black stone fortress in dynamic rotation.
Otherwise, with this little firepower, I am afraid that they can only slightly preheat the environment where their bodies will be placed before they are crushed against the wall like the hamsters that Calvin saw in his previous life.
Well, maybe it will make them stick more firmly...
"This is Gorgon, Team 2... is in place! The position has been confirmed! Checking the surrounding environment!"
"Sha... This is Sutherland! Team 3 is in place! We are deviated, but not too far! We are confirming the position and re-estimating the route of action!"
The replies from the other two teams came from both sides. Although the signal was obviously weakened due to the material of the Blackstone Fortress, this signal was much clearer than ordinary psychic communication due to Calvin's soul essence.
Calvin quickly sorted out the positions of the two teams and the time difference caused by the deviation of the third team. In the end, it was decided to make a slight adjustment to the scheduled rendezvous position in the direction of Sutherland.
"Let's go!"
Calvin's voice spread within the will of the Legion, and the Grey Knights behind him also moved forward quietly.
The cabin in front of him was extremely large, but very old. This fits Calvin's impression of the Blackstone Fortress, because it is too large, even though humans have been operating it for thousands of years, they still cannot effectively utilize all the space.
Sand... Sand...
The thick dust has been deposited on the ground for who knows how many years, and it is lifted and fell under the trampling of steel boots.
In this quiet environment, the breathing filter silently senses the surrounding environment and starts to start spontaneously.
The sound of breathing, footsteps, and dust falling to the ground are all that all the Grey Knights can sense in the dark environment.
In this environment, after traveling for nearly ten minutes, Calvin and his subordinates finally arrived at the planned location.
"5, 4, 3, 2..." Calvin calculated the time in his mind, and it was almost time for the routine report between the teams.
As he expected, the voices of the two team commanders appeared again on the communication channel in the next second.
But this time, because of their different positions, they brought completely different news to Calvin.
"Report the position and calculate the error!" Calvin directly ordered the moment the communication was connected, and the two commanders later responded in a fixed order.
"The route is confirmed! I will arrive in one minute!"
Gorgon's voice was still calm, but along with the report, there was a piece of information that was enough to attract attention:
"On the left wing of the team, about one kilometer away, the sound of gunfire could be clearly heard a minute ago.
Initial suspicion is that we are approaching the battlefield, waiting for orders! "
"Well...one minute, one kilometer." Calvin quickly calculated in his mind and then made a decision:
"Establish defensive positions in place."
"Yes!" Gorgon's voice disappeared, and then Sutherland's channel was connected.
The young commander had obviously heard Gorgon's report, and the unexpected deviation of his team had clearly hampered the entire team's action plan under such circumstances.
"Give me three minutes! No! Two minutes!" He said quickly in the communication channel, and Calvin had already seen the dilemma he faced from the information flow of Legion Will.
This is no longer just a matter of positioning deviation.
Even judging from the surrounding environment information he wore, there was an error even in the layer he was on.
Calvin sighed softly, feeling a little headache for Sutherland.
He knew and understood this guy. This commander, who was born into a Terran noble, had always held himself to extremely strict standards because of his family background and his relationship with Calvin before joining the war group.
But it seems to be a joke of fate. The more serious he is, the more uncontrollable accidents such as teleportation deviations occur, the more people like to find him.
Once or twice is okay, but once the number of times accumulates, even Calvin will inevitably cast strange looks at him every time something unexpected happens.
And what about himself? Presumably, although this guy maintained his composure in front of others, he was the one who was under the greatest pressure behind his back, right?
This was not the era of the Great Crusade, and Calvin was not one of those Emperor's Children who couldn't even take care of himself.
In the eyes of him, a foreigner from Eastern civilization, the word "character" can be divided into "nature" and "character";
In Calvin's eyes, the so-called "character determines destiny" is nothing more than an individual's continuous and consistent choices based on his "personality" in the countless encounters of fate;
And then ultimately leads one's destiny to a fixed but unknown path...
And this is "lattice".
In the world he lived in in his previous life, the so-called "relying on parents for the first thirty years, and relying on personality for the next thirty years" meant exactly this.
"Take your time, don't rush..." Calvin thought a little, but he didn't dare to let this sensitive soul notice anything strange.
He endured the peculiar irritability of his military nature and tried to appease little Calvin across the communication channel.
Isn't he in a hurry? Of course not.
This is a battlefield where every slight mistake will be caught by the enemy and magnified without limit!
And who is little Calvin? It's the commander!
Any mistakes made by his team should be fixed on him, the person in charge, under the ruthless responsibility mechanism of professional soldiers in a state of war!
What's more, it was his own fault!
However, he really couldn't be in a hurry.
This is what he gained after coming to this world, and it is also the second growth he gained after re-examining his responsibilities and character after having a lifespan far beyond that of ordinary people.
He is no longer the company commander, he must have a more tolerant mentality.
Compared with the battles in a long life, which are destined to gradually fade over time.
The growth and destiny of his special heir are far more important than the former...
renew! Happy New Year!
