Warhammer: Decided to take the route of stars surrounding the warp

Yifeng is very happy to continue holding the last selection on this planet. After all, it does not cost me any money. My "landlord" Otis will pay all the expenses in full. Of course, the current collaborators also have many of their own children. The nobles who entered the final selection.

Although Yifeng couldn't bear to cause casualties, the battle test must be conducted with casualties.

As for the creatures for the final test... they were kindly provided by the Techmarine from Shadowblade.

After Shadow Blade left Atris in the battle barge obtained from the Storm Will Chapter, he went to a planet to destroy aliens. There were aliens there that were extremely hard and good at burrowing into the ground. The one that looked like a series of stones. That thing that looks like a fine thing.

A phone call was made to the Mechanicus.

"Way, Mechanicus? Give me a stone elf. Didn't the Shadow Blades sign an agreement with you? They killed them all. You give me a stone elf, and our war group will fulfill the agreement in the future."

Just a few days later, the Adeptus Mechanicus' transport ship arrived. Yifeng was afraid that he would regret it. After all, he had given all his supplies of ammunition to Shadow Blade. As a result, they were gone, and all the deposits paid before were wasted. Now that he had finally been taken advantage of, he couldn't let him run away.

Yifeng personally went to check out the key to this final assessment.

A series of stones lie in a pile of mechanical chains, said to have been injected with a powerful sedative.

Yifeng looked confused, "Didn't I say one is enough? Why are there so many of them?"

The mechanical sage replied: "Dear Captain Yifeng, these are different torsos of the same creature. We call him the non-Norse stone snake. We numbered their bodies and found that they are all at least 19 sections long. , the longest is still unknown, like this non-Norse stone snake, which is a full 22 knots long. In addition, with respect to the leader of the Yifeng Chapter, this is the contract you mentioned in the star language, please sign it Character."

This mechanical sage is really anxious and is afraid that Yifeng will regret it after he figures it out.

Yifeng leisurely walked around this non-Norse stone snake. Through some data from the Mechanicus, it can be seen that this giant beast has a body structure close to that of the ancient Terran tortoise. Its outer armor is its skeleton. , at the connection between the two body parts is a tardigrade-like structure. This type of structure is often used in space suits in the human 3K era.

The front end of the non-Gnostic Stone Snake is a cone-shaped structure, which will help it pass through the rock and soil in front. The digging principle seems to be similar to that of earthworms?

"After our research, the non-nosed stone snake will be very violent in places where there is no rock and soil, such as in water or exposed to the air."

The question now facing Yifeng is how we will ensure that only 100 people advance.

"Except for the head and tail of the non-Norse stone snake, find a way to put 20 Sky Eagle emblems in each of the remaining 5 segments of the body."

Next, Yifeng is preparing to conduct the final selection in a large arena composed of steel floors and steel obstacles, allowing the subjects to choose their own weapons. As long as this non-Norse stone snake is defeated, it will be time to compete for the Sky Eagle emblem. Only those who return to the starting point alive with the Aquila emblem are eligible to become Astartes.

Of course, there will also be the problem of being completely unable to defeat the non-Norse stone snakes, so it depends on who is lucky enough to survive to the last 100 people.

This may be the most dangerous method of selection so far, but there is no other way. The Astartes must not only defeat powerful enemies, but also leave the battlefield alive. Don't ask why, more than a thousand heroic souls are watching in the sky.

The contestants didn't know how cruel a fight they would face, but the firearms teaching and training organized under Yifeng's order still made everyone nervous.

The results of firearms training will not be counted in the final selection. After all, many elites who have entered the nest have already learned the basic use of firearms. This training is mainly provided for children in the middle and lower nests who have never touched a gun.

Since there are so many types of firearms provided, players can choose their favorite firearm to learn without any restrictions.

Based on the core idea that bigger is more powerful, little Xiaolan likes the big ion pistol.

Of course, for Space Marines, the commonly used Sunfury ion pistol is just a small weapon, but for a 12-year-old boy, it is too heavy and huge.

So what? Eat as much as you want and do as much work as you want. I, Xiaolan, want to eat the most food and be the most powerful Astartes!

Under the dumbfounded expressions of the teaching team, Xiaolan studied very seriously. This was also the first time in his life that he had a "teacher". Someone really wanted to teach him knowledge.

On the other hand, although Mr. William had different ideas from Xiaolan, he also chose a large firearm that he had never learned before - a melt gun.

This is not because William wants to learn something new, but mainly because he feels something is not right. The emergence of such large firearms indicates that their next opponents are likely to be extremely large. He needs to prepare for these things that seem unlikely to appear. Weapons in case of trouble.

The extreme melt gun was very large, and even William, who was well-nourished and strong, found it very difficult to lift it.

Generally speaking, even among the Astra Militarum, only the most ferocious warriors wield this weapon.

There is another fierce person who also chooses the melt gun, that is, the fierce player who passed the test riding a desert wolf.

Enke's idea is very clear. For someone with such poor motor cells, it is only proper to carry a small pistol and wear a thicker body armor. Momo picked up the Mark 4 "Dervish" laser pistol, which is one of the classic weapons from the Carricks sector.

Alas, it's a pity that Frosa is not here. Enke really has no idea. His initial idea was to see the "accidents" other than the data. He didn't really want to become an Astartes, but this selection round was full of surprises. As the rounds passed, the more I participated, the more enthusiastic I became. Now I couldn't help but pick up the gun and prepare for training.

The 211 boys are clearly differentiated, 129 boys from the upper nest and 70 children from the middle nest, 10 children from the lower nest and 2 Orion children from outside the nest are divided into separate areas and will never challenge each other.

If it weren't for this selection, they would never see people from other levels in the hive city in their lifetime.

The time for firearms instruction is neither long nor short. It is just enough for children to basically master the use of firearms, but it is impossible to say how accurate it is.

——————————————————————————————————

A huge steel arena was built, and various metal barriers were erected in the arena, mostly tower-shaped pillars. There were also some small hemispherical metal fortresses as emergency protection, but there were only 3 fortresses in total. , a fortress can hold up to 20 people.

Taking into account the possibility of people outside avoiding the non-nosed stone snakes while engaging in offensive and defensive battles with the people inside the fortress, the fortress was also thoughtfully designed with shooting ports.

The metal box containing the non-Norse stone snake was placed in the open space in the center of the arena.

Each selected contestant took the firearms he was good at, went to the open space in the middle of the arena, and surrounded the strange black metal box.

Everyone was whispering, speculating on what kind of giant beast it was, and the rumbling crashing sound coming from the metal box made everyone uneasy.

"William, tell me what that thing is, could it be a stabbing thing?"

"Impossible, this alien species was wiped out during the Great Crusade."

"Then what did you say it was?"

"I can't imagine that someone with this size and strength must be a rare alien."

"Is it possible that it is a war machine, not a living thing?"

"Then we won't keep smashing the black metal box. The war machine should use an attack strategy that quickly explodes with powerful firepower as soon as the metal box door is opened."

Several nobles who came to the nest were discussing enthusiastically.

Enke stood with several boys in the middle nest. At this time, Enke's thick body armor and small laser pistol became everyone's laughing stock.

Enke dealt with these children in the middle nest nonchalantly. In his opinion, it was almost impossible for these people to pass the selection. Instead, among the independent children who were leaving the nest next to them, a child who was nibbling on a food bar let him know. He was very interested.

The children who left the nest and the sons of Orion both had a strong sense of hostility. Their long and hard life taught them never to trust anyone easily. They stood separately, keeping a considerable distance from each other.

Everyone was holding their own weapons and looking at others warily.

Xiaolan held his ion gun and sat on the ground. Even after several days of "plentiful food and clothing" and professional teacher guidance, he could only shoot the ion gun while lying down. No one knew about him. What will hit if you fire a shot while standing.

Xiaolan began to retreat silently behind the crowd. His weapon was too heavy and he had to find a position in advance. He could not wait for Yifeng's order to start the selection before moving quickly.

Enke stared at the child who had left the nest, and silently moved backwards. He understood what the child was thinking. For Enke, this strategy was also applicable.

A huge roar sounded in the sky, and the leader of the Yifeng Chapter jumped off the plane and stood firmly on the box in the middle of the arena.

"Alright, future generations of the empire, the final round of selection is about to begin. Everyone, be prepared."

Everyone subconsciously clenched their guns. An Astartes Chapter Master and the constant banging sounds from the huge metal box under his feet filled the entire space with invisible pressure.

"Now are the rules of the competition. You have two ways to win. One. Kill the monster in this box. There are 100 Sky Eagle emblems in its body, symbolizing one hundred places. Get it and then reach the exit. You will You can advance.”

"Two, if you can't kill it, then the one hundred people who survive to the end will be the winners."

"If the Sky Eagle emblem is destroyed, the one with the largest fragments will be qualified. If the Sky Eagle emblem is beaten to the ground and there is nothing left, then run quickly, Wutian will be the first to reach the exit. Those who bear the eagle emblem will be qualified.”

Enke actually calculated the situation that was most beneficial to him in an instant. Looking at the melta guns held by several people and the ion weapon held by the boy who came down from the nest, it was almost certain that the Sky Eagle emblem had been hit. If it breaks into pieces, there is a high probability that it will completely melt down. You can go out directly from the exit at the beginning of the selection, bet on it, and become the first person not to get the Sky Eagle emblem.

But there is also a problem. If you really can't beat them all, then the 100 people who survived will be regarded as qualified, and you will be treated as quitting.

To gamble or not to gamble.

"You have two minutes to find your position, okay, now start the timer."

Yifeng turned around and jumped onto a towering metal pillar. He would take action to deal with the alien in the worst case scenario.

Hopefully this doesn't need to happen.

Enke struggled for a long time and finally decided to stay. He has now run towards a metal fake mountain with a gentle slope so that he can observe the battle situation and collect data.

Didn’t I just come here to see the options besides the data?

Little William quickly looked for a fighting position. Other nobles, including him, had spread out, looking for positions that could be attacked or defended.

Many of the boys in Zhongchao did not have this awareness, and some of them ran directly to the dead end. For example, there was only one way to reach this metal pillar. Once the escape route was blocked, it would become a horse on the street pavilion.

When the nest is laid, the child's reaction is actually the fastest. Just one word: run.

Hide first and check the situation.

The huge black metal box collapsed instantly, and Yifeng silently took out the melon seeds.

The nonos stone snake rushed out at once and swam towards the place with the most people.

The Nonos Stone Snake mainly relies on vibrations to determine the enemy's direction, and its vibration-sensing organs are within its hard exoskeleton. If it has any weaknesses, its eating mouth may be considered the softest part when it is open. Come on.

In an instant, a powerful barrage swept through the center of the arena, and boys from all directions opened fire at the same time. The laser gun only left slight marks on the body of the non-Gnoss stone snake. The poor power warhead could not even hurt the big snake at all. The melt gun could not fire because it was too far away. As for the ion gun...the only one Xiaolan was carrying her up the hill.

The nonos stone snake broke through the fire blockade in a few blows and quickly rushed towards the crowd.

The boys quickly dispersed, some hid directly in the fortress and continued shooting, some climbed onto metal pillars and tried long-range sniping, some ran away and dispersed, and there were a few who were particularly fierce, such as William.

William hid behind the metal pillar, leaning against the pillar with his back, holding the melt gun in a standard position with both hands, waiting for the non-Norse stone snake to pass by.

The giant snake looks huge and bulky, but it moves extremely fast on this steel land. His own twisting allowed him to gain astonishing speeds, and the friction with the earth made a tooth-ache-inducing sound.

Hold on, we're getting close. The nonos stone snake knocked a boy away, and the poor boy screamed and hit the metal pillar hard, and he could no longer survive.

The nonos stone snake came closer, and the huge friction sound made goosebumps all over William's body. Bullets were flying everywhere, and a few of them almost hit William's thigh.

Another armor-piercing bullet failed to break through the snake's defense and was bounced away.

The pointed giant snake's head swept in with the strong wind.

The tip appeared in front of William's eyes, and now, fire.

The head of the giant snake crossed over, and the short-term accumulation of the melt gun allowed the giant snake to slide through the first section of its body, which was the most important head.

The destructive hot melt hit the second and third sections of the giant snake's body, drawing a long bloody mark.

Effective, as long as you find a way to stop him, the melta gun can kill it with a little more time.

At this time, the nonos stone snake fell into a state of rage, flicking its tail in all directions, knocking away several players who tried to attack from the rear.

The power of this giant beast is extremely terrifying, and it is basically useless if it is hit.

Many people took refuge in the fort and started shooting. Some smart people have stopped attacking non-Norse stone snakes with guns and bullets, which cannot penetrate the beast's armor.

But it can penetrate people.

............

If I kill only 100 people, will I advance?

Several people are ready to take action, but things have not deteriorated to this extent yet.

"The giant snake's outer armor has been broken!"

Many people saw smoke coming out of the body of the nonos stone snake, and everyone suddenly became energetic. The boys stopped sparing ammunition and took aim, firing into its wounds.

William was running away with all his energy at this time.

He is not afraid of the nonos stone snake. After his observation just now, it seems that the structure of this giant snake does not support its turning more than 90 degrees, but the flying bullets are really scary. These people obviously can't shoot through the nonos. The stone snake's armor kept firing bullets, and the bounced bullets flew everywhere. He had already seen several unlucky people hit by stray bullets.

This melta gun is so heavy, it can't run very fast.

After being injured, the nonossake tried to find the murderer, but because it was a creature that lived underground, it had no vision. But now there are violent vibrations in all directions, and the sounds of humans running and firing are everywhere. It seemed a little overwhelmed.

If they are all enemies, it doesn't matter where they attack.

The Nonos Stone Snake rammed forward with all its strength towards the place where the most gunshots were heard.

"Bang". Suddenly, the giant snake hit the human hemispherical fortress, denting the metal wall of the fortress. Everyone was shocked. Isn't this metal fortress absolutely safe?

Many people were stunned.

Enke, who was at a high place, wanted to wake them up with the Emperor's smelly slippers, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing standing there? It's not moving. Use a melt gun to burn it!"

The nonos stone snake woke up quickly and twisted its body quickly. By coincidence, it just managed to avoid a fatal attack.

Although the loud noise of the hail of bullets drowned Enke's words, Xiaolan, who had finally climbed to the top of the mountain next door, heard his cry and immediately aimed an ion pistol bullet at the big snake.

If Orochi didn't wake up quickly, this shot could at least inflict serious damage to Orochi. Unfortunately, it can only stir up some flying metal debris now.

The battle seemed to be at a stalemate. The big snake angrily attacks people everywhere, and people are constantly being knocked away. People in the fortress and in high positions have nothing to do against the non-Norse stone snake.

Do we really have to wait until a hundred of us are dead?

I'm not willing to give in. Are there more than two hundred candidates who are qualified to become Astartes and can't even handle this thing?
