The Solemnity, upper deck.
Sartrefan sat cross-legged alone in his personal cabin.
Meditation quietly with eyes closed.
It seemed as if the fierce battle outside had nothing to do with him.
Until the Khan's notice came from the bridge:
"The action begins."
The Raven Guard slowly opened his eyes.
Satfaran is a typical Raven Guard with pale skin, dark pupils, and smooth black hair. Many of his physical features are similar to those of his original master.
The Raven Guard warrior slowly stood up, his power armor already fully donned, and he only had to pick up his helmet and put it on, methodically carrying out the preparations for the assassination.
Sartrefan inadvertently recalled that a month ago, in this personal cabin, Qingshan Khan discussed the "Triple Shadow Path" with him.
The Triple Shadow Path, a term coined by the Raven Guard Primarch Corax, is a summary of the philosophical ideas, tactical codes and behavioral norms followed by the Raven Guard, which can be roughly divided into ambush, stealth and vigilance.
The Raven Guard, like the White Scars, is an unpopular and niche regiment. Prior to this, Fu Qinghai had never heard of the Triple Shadow Path. After Sartrefarn's explanation, he finally understood what the Raven King's ideal legion looked like.
I also understood the stealth secrets of the Raven Guard.
As we all know, except for the MK6 Raven, most power armors make quite a bit of noise. Even the MK6 Raven, which is specially designed for stealth and sacrifices some of its defense, only reduces noise and does not have a stealth function.
So, how can a Space Marine, who is more than two meters tall with armor, sneak around without being noticed?
This involves the Raven Guard's innate ability - psionic invisibility, or psychological invisibility.
Some Raven Guards are born with a psychic aura or psychic field, which greatly reduces the presence of the Raven Guards in the eyes of others, and they often subconsciously ignore the existence of the Raven Guards around them or even turn a blind eye to them completely.
This kind of invisibility in the psychological sense usually only works on humans or other creatures with souls. It is completely useless for electronic mechanical equipment such as cameras, camcorders and surveillance probes, which will not be affected by psychic invisibility.
So this kind of talent is both strong and weak. It does not require any stealth technology to walk around in plain sight without attracting anyone's attention, but an ordinary electronic eye plus an alarm can see through it.
So when the Raven Guard Captain tried to assassinate Shadowsun in later generations, Shadowsun herself did not notice or realize the Raven Guard Captain, but the artificial intelligence in her XV22 Tracker battle suit was frantically sounding the alarm, indicating that there was a Space Marine nearby.
Of course, from another perspective, it can be said that the reason why he was discovered by the Titanium Army was because his psychic power level was too low.
To give an extreme example: when the Raven King sailed alone towards the Eye of Terror, during the process, the Imperial Navy fleet patrolling near the Eye of Terror actually detected the small boat. After the auspicious instrument detected the ship's signal, the Thinker System dutifully printed out the report. However, the strange thing was that the mortal navy crew members who reviewed the report were very unwilling to believe its authenticity. They believed from the bottom of their hearts that the report was false and wrong... and this is the horror of the Raven King.
Psychic invisibility is so powerful.
Even if the machine detects it, it will be useless.
Of course, Satfaran's psychic power level is not as exaggerated as that of the Primarch, but he has possessed this stealth talent from the beginning. The psychic awakening psychological invisibility brought by the Brain of MODOK only further strengthens this talent.
In addition, Sartre Fran also has technological bonuses.
He has optical cloaking technology.
The invisible guy from the Fallout universe.
Long ago, in the Resident Evil movie universe, Fu Qinghai obtained the radiation-specific equipment, the Invisible Boy, from the super mutants. However, at that time, he simply looked down on this counterfeit and shoddy product that imitated China's stealth armor, because the Invisible Boy had too many defects:
a large amount of radiation was released during operation, which not only harmed physical health, but the radiation itself would also expose its existence. The working principle of the Invisible Boy was optical stealth, which could not shield heat sources. Not only would it be detected if you got close, but the Invisible Boy could be seen through using thermal imaging views or Geiger counters.
Thermal imaging is the most basic function for any power armor or military servoskull, so Fu Qinghai commented long ago: In the dispute between stealth and anti-stealth, detection technology (spear) is far stronger than stealth technology (shield). Invisible boy is not very meaningful.
Later, after continuous research and improvement by the scientific research team, the problem of emitted radiation was finally overcome. However, after the radiation shielding was done, the thermal shielding still could not be dealt with. It was not until Fu Qinghai captured a group of Kroot prisoners in the battle of Karnak III that some solutions to this problem were found: the Kroot secrete a certain kind of oil on their bodies that can completely isolate the heat from being emitted to the outside.
Later, after Master Quinto tortured and studied these alien captives, he finally succeeded in replicating and synthesizing this magical grease. Applying the grease on the outside of the power armor can completely isolate the heat radiation from radiating outward. Unfortunately, problems are always linked together. This grease solved the heat radiation but brought new problems - it has a pungent smell, which can be smelled by those with a keen sense of smell.
Saroyan Skarsson had detected the Kroot by sniffing. Space Wolves usually don't like to wear helmets because their sense of smell is their unique weapon. Astartes don't have additional sense of smell enhancement, but the genetic defect Wolf Helix has given the Sons of Russ this unique ability. The most exaggerated description - some Space Wolves can even smell the fear in the hearts of their enemies.
Regarding this issue.
Fu Qinghai couldn't solve the problem and didn't want to solve it.
Because looking at the vast majority of interstellar war scenarios, with the exception of the Space Wolves, few people rely on the sense of smell as the primary means of detection, and it is also very dangerous to not wear a helmet in order to expose your nose in a complex battlefield environment - the Death Guard's gas warfare and biological warfare will teach you a lesson.
As a White Scar, Fu Qinghai didn't quite understand Corax's Triple Shadow Philosophy, but as a master forger, he redefined the Triple Shadow from his perspective: psionic invisibility, optical invisibility, and thermal shielding, three different types of invisibility superimposed and fused together.
To reach a level that is almost impossible to see through.
Sartrefaran stood up straight, took out a bottle of ointment and handed it to the servitors, who took it and smeared it evenly on the Space Marine's armor. Then the Raven Guard pressed a device on his wrist, and an optical illusion flashed all over his body, and the Space Marine disappeared from sight.
…
The ground battlefield is still in fierce fighting.
The Wakanda tribal coalition gradually showed signs of decline.
The border tribe soldiers wearing vibranium woven robes and forming the first line of defense had been blown to pieces and their formation was disrupted during the first orbital bombardment.
The giant rhino cavalrymen wearing vibranium plate armor were still rampaging through Kang's army, but were eventually caught and knocked to the ground by the sentinel robots.
Even the ape tribe, which had always refused to submit to Black Panther's rule, sent out all its troops to assist the tribal coalition in resisting the invasion of the kingdom, but it was only a drop in the bucket.
Black Panther killed one sentinel robot after another, but eventually he ran out of energy and stood in the middle of the battlefield, gasping for breath, his two sharp claws dripping with blood.
Marcus Kang stood in the devastation holding a red spear, looking at the panting black panther in the distance, a smile on his face - the king was about to fall.
Marcus Kang looked up at the azure, hazy sky with sparse clouds, wondering why those guys hadn't made any move yet. If they didn't take action, the Wakandan army would collapse.
I was thinking about it.
A black spot in the sky was growing bigger and bigger.
A huge monster fell from the sky from far away.
"boom--"
The "Pojun Golden Armor" fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the mud meadow surged and splashed in all directions in a ring shape like waves in the sea, and it crushed a group of ants to death as soon as it landed. The four-armed Titan raised his two arms, and the dazzling light suddenly lit up. Marcus Kang couldn't help but raise his palms to cover his eyes.
Two giant plasma weapons opened fire, and two empty "passages" appeared directly on the battlefield. There was nothing in the passages. People, armor, weapons, as well as soil and grass were all vaporized and disappeared by the high temperature. The "Pojun Golden Armor" completed a wave of clearing the field the moment it landed, and Kang's army suffered heavy casualties.
It's here! It's finally here!
Marcus Kang lowered his arms, shocked.
He quickly lowered his head and said loudly to his neck:
"Father, that mecha is coming!"
"I see."
Kang's deep voice rang in my ears.
Black Panther looked at the four-armed mechanical giant in the distance.
His eyes widened and his heart was shocked beyond words.
"Po Jun Jin Jia" was just about to march into Kang's army and show off his invincibility when suddenly a dazzling blue light lit up from afar. The mechanical giant turned his head and saw a blue-masked man in a green robe and blue armor walking calmly towards the battlefield alone. Beams of light emanated from his body, and then his figure suddenly grew larger in the beams of light, becoming taller and taller, almost as tall as "Po Jun Jin Jia".
Looks like some kind of holographic projection?
Fu Qinghai frowned and narrowed his eyes.
But if it was just an optical projection...
How can he fight against "Po Jun Jin Jia"?
Whether he really has the strength or is just pretending to be mysterious, you will know after trying. "Po Jun Jin Jia" twisted his waist and turned around, lowered his center of gravity and rushed towards the giant holographic projection of Kang, crossed his arms with swords and swept, and swung the plasma double-edged sword at the giant Conqueror Kang.
"Bang…sizzle!"
Fu Qinghai's eyes widened in an instant.
Two slender swords spewing ion shock waves...
It was actually held by Conqueror Kang's two hands!
The semi-transparent, materialized holographic projection raised its two palms and brazenly grasped the plasma double-edged sword. The ion shock waves spewed out from the blade were constantly in contact and collision with the phantom, making a "sizzling" sound and exploding into clusters of light fragments.
What is the principle behind this?
A holographic projection technology that can be materialized?
"Hehehe..."
The giant Conqueror Kang laughed grimly:
"You didn't expect that, Qingshan...Khan?"
Conqueror Kang used both hands to try to break the two swords.
"Po Jun Jin Jia" drew his sword and retreated without saying a word.
The plasma double-edged sword created a streak of dazzling sparks.
"Did I accidentally scare you?"
The giant projection approached and asked with a smile,
"I'm really sorry."
The man under the blue mask raised his lips.
"Pojun Jinjia" glanced behind Kang.
Two giant dragons flapped their wings, soared, and swooped down to join the battlefield.
The reincarnations from the fifth dimension have also come.
The dragon was followed by a large group of landing vehicles.
Kang the Conqueror continues to send in troops.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It seems that he intends to end this battle once and for all on the ground - perhaps because neither side can do anything to the other in a space naval battle, Conqueror Kang is getting a little impatient.
"Xiaolong Squadron, all forces attack!"
"Shoot down the enemy's landing craft and shuttles."
Fu Qinghai issued several orders one after another:
"Thorny Garden, Zero Realm Guild, attack!"
"Don't let the fifth-dimensional wizard dominate the battlefield."
This move is exactly what I want...
Fu Qinghai thought to himself:
The more intense the fighting on the ground battlefield, the better.
I don't mind investing a few more chips to play with you.
"Pojun Jinjia" stood with his legs apart and danced a sword flower with his hands, looking at the giant conqueror Kang in front of him. Kang's projection spread his legs and raised his hands to get into a fighting posture.
A red beam of light suddenly shot out from the chest of "Pojun Golden Armor".
The surging column of energy was accompanied by a piercing scream.
The giant projection of Conqueror Kang shattered and went out.
"What is that?"
A disdainful voice came from Titan Radio.
The blue light in the distance condensed again.
A new holographic projection appeared again.
"I'm not that easy to defeat."
Giant Conqueror Kang sneered.
"The law of conservation of energy."
"Pojun Jinjia" raised his two-arm plasma cannons:
"Don't play tricks on me. Although I don't know the technical principle behind this, it must consume a lot of energy to condense such a projection. In this case, let's compete to see who has more energy reserves."
"Just what I want."
The giant conqueror Kang pounced on him fiercely.
…
Wakandans, Kang the Conqueror, Starfighters, the Fifth Dimension, Zero World Guild, Garden of Thorns…
After many parties joined the war.
The situation on the battlefield became more chaotic and complicated.
In such a chaotic battlefield.
A Space Marine walked alone.
Beside him, the Wakanda tribal soldiers roared and thrust out their vibranium spears, Kang's black-armored future warriors held their weapons and fired continuously, a giant rhino rushed forward and used its vibranium horns to knock a group of black-armored soldiers away, before being grabbed by several sentinel robots and pinned to the ground, and then burned by several lasers.
However, neither the Wakandans, the Future Soldiers nor the Sentinel robots turned a blind eye to this Space Marine. He just swaggered across the battlefield. The blood, flesh, limbs, shrapnel and fire flying around him did not affect him at all. He walked slowly towards his final goal.
The man in red armor who was surrounded by people.
Marcus Kahn knelt on one knee with his spear in one hand, looking up at the battlefield, breathing slightly. Sweat had soaked his long brown hair and thick beard, which hung in wet clumps on both sides of his face.
Kang's elite warriors were all around, holding weapons and ready for battle. They had surrounded Marcus Kang and protected him tightly. Although Marcus Kang did not like this kind of scene, he had to admit that
he could not participate in a battle of this level.
Without the power armor, Marcus Kang was just a strong future human. After taking a long breath and finally recovering some strength, Marcus Kang slowly stood up and his nose suddenly twitched inadvertently.
He smelled a strange smell.
However, in this complex battlefield, Marcus Kang couldn't tell where the smell came from and what it belonged to. He just frowned slightly and felt a little confused.
Then, he felt a sudden pain in his chest.
Marcus Kahn looked down in horror.
A power sword emerged from it.
Then severe pain spread throughout the body.
"You, you..."
Marcus Kahn turned his head away with his mouth open.
The Space Marines behind him slowly emerged.
Satfaran silently drew back the power sword.
The "Scarlet Centurion" fell to the ground with a thud.
…
"My lord, my lord, His Highness Marcus has been assassinated!"
A heart-wrenching scream rang in Kang's ears.
The giant projection, which was engaged in a fierce battle with the "Pojun Jinjia", turned around abruptly upon hearing this and saw Marcus Kang lying surrounded by a group of soldiers.
"No!!!"
Conqueror Kang's eyes suddenly turned red with anger.
The black-gold armored space warrior was not satisfied after Marcus fell down. He killed the surrounding guards with a few swords and even stabbed his son's body with a sword!
He was killing the corpse!
"Ahhhhhh!"
The furious Conqueror Kang, ignoring the "Po Jun Jin Jia" in front of him, turned around and ran towards the battlefield. The "Po Jun Jin Jia" did not chase him, but watched over there quietly.
"Satfalan, what's the situation?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
"Operation codename: Trojan Horse."
"Mission objectives successfully accomplished, Khan."
The voice of a Raven Guard warrior was heard in the communication channel.
The voice was cold and without any fluctuation.
