Chapter 131 The End of the Era: Feudal Planet
The double-layer hatch slid open diagonally on both sides, and the hatch with the Imperial Skyhawk logo opened and closed quickly. Its speed was extremely fast for its physique, and it was obvious that it was well maintained.
Vito walked out of the door and walked on the busy deck. On both sides were tall scaffolding and busy maintenance personnel. The welding guns in their hands sprinkled countless sparks on the ground, just like heavy rain.
It was equally busy on the ground. The mechanical servants were carrying parts under the command of the mechanical priests and maintenance personnel, and some were cutting and welding. The entire cold space was filled with a lot of electric sparks. The shining welding fire points were like twinkling stars all over the deck.
Vito walked under the scaffolding. The steel frames were built into a high building on the side. He raised his head and looked at the sparks falling all over the sky. Those cold sparks slid down from him, and some of them died out and disappeared during the fall.
He looked up at the high wall of the battleship, which was full of signs of damage, exposed pipes and twisted walls, but considering the battle they had just experienced, this little damage was already a miracle.
"Omega." Vito shouted, and he walked behind the technical priest. Omega turned his head to look at Vito and then turned his head back. Several mechanical arms behind him were working.
The giant snake-like mechanical arm grabbed the armor plate, and the iron plate that had been cut began to weld quickly on the wall. Omega's mechanical eyes carefully stared at the welding work, and the dazzling fire illuminated his mechanical face under the hood.
"Is everything going well? At least I hope so." Vito asked and leaned beside him. The Inquisitor looked around the busy deck, countless welding flames and sparks flew everywhere, and servo skulls flew everywhere in the air.
Omega was performing maintenance work efficiently and accurately. His other mechanical arms were debugging an operating table. A scented incense burner was hung on the iron wall. The elegant fragrance was very suitable for soothing the machine soul.
But he did not recite the Messiah's Song, but this was not surprising. The members of the Mechanicus would selectively skip some useless preparation steps to fool outsiders and pretend to be cool at some "critical moments", such as kowtowing to a screw and singing songs. Now is the "skippable moment" defined by Omega.
"The damage to the warship is more than a quarter. The Inquisitor, the Void Shield Generator, the Charger and the Propulsion Array are all seriously damaged, not to mention the artillery array. In the name of Om Messiah, I don't even know how we got through the subspace."
Indeed, the ship almost fell apart when passing through the subspace again, especially the Geiger Field almost went out several times, which scared the whole ship. You know, the feeling of Geiger Field failing in the subspace.
Although Vito himself was in a stable state of mind, after all, Lilith was on the ship, and any demon with a little bit of knowledge would not think of attacking the "toy" of the succubus queen, so yes, they finally jumped out without any danger.
"According to my calculations, Vito, the probability of our failure in the last operation was 97.8%. You once again made an extremely crazy action." Omega said, without falling behind in the work at hand.
Vito shrugged jokingly, "But we still succeeded and escaped, although the sons of Rus returned to the throne."
He sighed and made a Sky Eagle salute on his chest, "May their souls return to the throne."
"I believe they will, the feat of the sons of Leman Rus will be remembered, but this also caused a huge threat to our mission, Vito."
Omega said while adjusting the operating table. He walked to another exposed line pipe and began to repair the line with a small cable welding gun extending from his fingers.
"The main thruster is seriously damaged, the ventral booster is seriously overheated, the cooling pipe has exploded, more than 60% of the ship's weapon array is damaged, 165 corridors have been pierced and vacuumized, and 8 decks must be repaired."
"The machine soul is also irritable and restless. The temperature of the reactor is still high, and there is even a leakage problem. According to calculations, our probability of failure is 1000% if we enter the Eye of Terror."
"Are you so sure?" "Yes, and it's a bit conservative. In other words, it's courting death."
Vito smiled and folded his arms, "What's your suggestion?" "Dock for repairs as soon as possible, or at least find a safe anchorage to repair and appease the machine soul, otherwise we may explode with the reactor."
The Inquisitor laughed jokingly, and then his communicator rang. Vito raised the communicator and turned on the image, and Cole immediately appeared on the screen.
The captain's holographic bust looked at Vito and made a brief explanation in an impolite, resentful and almost vicious tone.
"Get to the bridge, we found a place to dock."
It was over, Cole's image disappeared, Vito whistled and patted his thigh and stood up, "It seems that Captain Cole should have solved this problem, we will dock as soon as possible."
Vito patted Omega's shoulder, the latter turned his head to watch Vito walk away, then turned his head again and continued to work, countless sparks illuminated his face, illuminating the almost completely mechanized face.

Vito walked into the bridge, he walked under the arch of the entrance, turned and walked up the long stairs, he walked up the long ladder against the wall to the command platform.
Vito walked towards Cole and the four Space Marines who were standing at the front of the captain's platform. When he passed the captain's throne, he stopped. To be precise, he was pulled.
He turned his head and looked at Lilith who was tugging on his sleeve. The latter was lying on the throne and smiling seductively. She gestured with her fingers to signal Vito to come over. The judge smiled and quietly came up to her.
He came in front of Lilith and was kissed by her. Their lips touched each other. Lilith stood up and slid her elbows over Vito's shoulders and stood on tiptoes, just like two young lovers having a tryst. Same.
Although they are not young at all, the combined number is scary.
Cole cleared his throat and coughed heavily. Vito freed himself from Lilith's fragrant lips and smiled at her. The two of them walked side by side towards a few people.
Vito walked up to Cole and glanced at the captain who looked unhappy. He was obviously unhappy with his "tryst" just now, and since he almost messed up his ship, he probably wanted to kill himself now. So it's better to provoke him.
"Have we found a safe haven?" Vito asked, leaning on the armrest, although it was in vain to ask because he had already seen the safe haven.
A planet is suspended in the window, suspended outside the bridge of the Infinite Frontier, extremely eye-catching.
"The feudal world of Kason. According to the database, the social system of this planet is aristocratic enfeoffment. It is ruled by noble knights and lords. It is almost a medieval society."
Cole said, and with the movement of his finger, Casson's information was also suspended in front of Vito. He tilted his head and looked at the large list of data rolling over it.
To be honest, he didn't need to watch it, because every feudal world was full of, you know, a large group of ignorant peasants who knew nothing about it, plus the remaining group of aristocratic knights who were equally ignorant and stupid and regarded themselves as noble.
Vito smiled and said, "Lancelot, you are finally home."
"Maybe, Judge, but my hometown is not so backward." Lancelot also said with a smile. Knight Caliban looked at the outline of the planet. This planet is beautiful, with oceans, forests and plains all over it. The earth, without any trace of industrial pollution, is like a paradise world.
But this also means that the empire's technology has not affected this place, and there is no Mechanicum stationed here. This may be good news for the locals, but it is not for the Infinite Frontier.
"Compared with its beauty, I'm more worried about whether it can help here." Lancelot said, and Vito looked at Cole, obviously he needed to answer this question.
The captain nodded slightly and clicked on the interface, and soon a complete and detailed scan of the planet appeared in front of everyone.
Cole pointed to the mineral veins above, "The bird's radar scanned the planet, and we know that there are many mineral veins on this planet, and the reserves are enough for us to use."
"What do you mean, we are going to be miners?" Lancelot asked in confusion, but Ragnar made a bitter sarcasm, "What's wrong? The delicate knight doesn't know how to wield a pickaxe?"
"I'm better at swinging a sword, if you want to try it." Lancelot said and pressed the hilt of the sword, and Ragnar also smiled and grabbed the handle of the axe.
"That's enough! Please continue, Captain Cole." Olaf yelled angrily, and then nodded apologetically to Cole. The captain nodded slightly and looked at the holographic display again.
"The design purpose of the Mars-class battlecruiser is to be independent of the fleet, capable of independent navigation, exploration and self-sustainment. The Mechanicus designed her as an all-rounder."
"So this beauty is equipped with a full set of industrial production lines. Although it is not as good as the foundry world, the foundry on our ship can carry out some basic production. Weapons, armor plates, ammunition and ship spare parts can all be produced, as long as there are raw materials."
"According to estimates, we can produce some required accessories ourselves to repair the current damage. Although it cannot be said to be perfect, it can at least ensure basic navigation needs."
Cole said, pointing to the long veins on the display, "We are equipped with an anti-gravity generator that can dig out the veins, pull them out of the ground, and then collect and produce them directly on the surface. Those who cannot use the gravity generator can use Orbital cannon blasts open the ground."
"What a beautiful planet, what a pity." Lilith said sadly, looking at this planet was like appreciating a work of art.
"Our mission is the most important, Judge Lilith, I believe everyone agrees, and we will inform the owners of this planet in advance, although they are now"
"I guess something's up, right?" Vito said with a smile. This was not unexpected at all, and Cole nodded affirmatively.
He turned off the hologram and looked at the beautiful planet with his naked eyes, looking at the green land and blue ocean on it. "Kazon is falling into a civil war. The traitor lords who believe in Chaos have launched a rebellion and are trying to overthrow the planet. Authorize the governor to fight with his council of lords, you know, with swords and crossbows.”
Okay, a group of old farmers, led by a knight, cut down each other, and then attacked the city with trebuchets and ballistae? It's very medieval.
Vito smiled jokingly, "I'm curious, this place is next to the Eye of Terror, why are there no Chaos legions or demons coming here to support the local rebels?"
"I mean, with the local empire's level of power, they would probably be killed in one fell swoop, right? But I didn't see a Chaos ship, and I didn't find any demons. There was just a group of farmers who were hacking at each other on the ground for several months."
"I think Abaddon used all his main forces to attack Cadia, so this remote, worthless and backward planet was ignored."
As Cole said, the light of the planet shone in from the window, and the beautiful blue light illuminated the outline of their faces. The four giants were bathed in the holy light of the planet.
"In short, although we just fought a "wonderful offensive battle" initiated by someone, we still need to fight a battle now. We need locals to help us mine ore before we can process it, so."
Cole looked at Vito, who smiled and pulled out his grenade launcher, "Well, at least it's easier than fighting Chaos."
Lilith put one hand on her slender waist and looked at Vito with a joking look. He turned around and looked at the four giants behind him, "Who wants to go down and bully them?"
Let me think about it, Space Marines plus a ship of fully armed stormtroopers, marines and Valkyries, Thunderhawk fighters, Chimera armored vehicles, and Leman Russ main battle tanks to fight a group of rebellious peasants?
Anyway, it's still very interesting.
