Chapter 153: Three Thousand Eight Hundred and Eight Acts of Forgiveness

As the reactors within the Ark Mechanicus stirred, the light emitted by the Tractor Beam of Mars was gradually becoming more intense and solid.

An anomaly began to appear.

Starting from the circle surrounding the armored transport ship embedded in the ground, countless grains of sand began to collapse, flowing towards the center like running water.

However, its hull was not being pulled out, but the whole was being forcibly pulled upwards, so this anomaly was not as gentle as it initially appeared. In a short period of time, it rapidly spread to a vast elliptical area.

The brief subsidence may have lasted for about half a second.

Then, a mountain of metal suddenly rose from the yellow sand.

Amidst the rustling sound of friction between the fine sands, a roar and tremor suddenly erupted.

Countless grains of sand slid from the hull of the armed transport ship, forming a waterfall-like sand curtain. The collision produced by the landing of these countless sands caused a sand mist to rise below.

At the same time, a reverse dune appeared on the ground as the ship left, and countless yellow sands rolled into it, trying to fill it, but in the end it only slightly reduced the size of the hole, and its structure stabilized.

It is foreseeable that, in a short period of time in the future, this large depression will become an unsolved mystery for the surrounding animals.

Under the plasma streams ejected from the nozzles below the engineering ship, the heights of the two ships rose in sync, and the dazzling blue-colored hot jets even made Zhang Ge and his party on the Land Battleship feel that the air was heated up a bit.

After the armed transport ship was rescued, the other ships that had landed on their own around it were also restarted in turn, flying upwards at an angle, and creating large patches of vitrified sand surfaces due to the wake on the ground.

All the soldiers who were originally in the garrison had been evacuated into the surrounding ships at the beginning of the evacuation, including the Titan, who accepted Zhang Ge's instructions and entered an inconspicuous escort ship among the surrounding escort ships under the crowd of Adeptus Mechanicus personnel according to the plan.

Obviously, the success of the previous wave of using the flagship to lure away the Aeldari Corsairs' landing craft made the priests think that this plan was usable, belonging to the category of "a ship doesn't have to be big, if it has a Titan, it is effective."

Now, the only ones still on the ground were this Land Battleship and its entourage.

Of course, the evacuation fleet would not ignore this thing.

After an Yarkalan Garrison transport ship docked with several escort ships several times, it basically emptied its load, and then slowly flew over the Land Battleship.

When that huge shadow loomed, everyone had basically completed the remaining conversations and various work handovers.

Heloise, who had finished reading the names, did not die, but walked back from the side and handed the bolter without a magazine to Blythe.

Blythe's expression did not change because of this, she just reached out and took the gun, raised it and aimed it at Heloise, and pulled the trigger herself.

Still no firing.

So she said:

"Hmm, it seems they chose to actively forgive you."

In this tone of voice, she pulled the bolt.

A bolter round left in the chamber popped out and landed in her other hand.

Three thousand eight hundred and seven times, plus the one just now, a total of three thousand eight hundred and eight times the trigger was pulled, and this bolter round was not fired.

Heloise did not answer this sentence, until Blythe continued:

"Remember, don't think that not reacting to your behavior means forgiveness for your mistakes. Only actively choosing to forgive you means that your atonement has been accepted."

Having a round in the chamber and not firing it for more than three thousand times, and having no rounds and not having an extra one after more than three thousand times, these two have the same result, but are completely different concepts.

After saying this, Blythe threw the bolter round to Heloise:

"Take it as a souvenir."

"Yes."

In the brief conversation, the transport ship had descended to a height close to the top of the Land Battleship.

Of course, although it was close, it was still two or three thousand meters away. It could only be said to be very close relative to things of the ship level.

Immediately afterwards, from the aircraft belly above, several small shuttle ships that were hung separately detached. One of them was about a hundred meters long, like a one-meter dwarf next to a ten-meter giant compared to a kilometer-long transport ship.

However, after it approached the ground, it could be found that this size was still very amazing, and most ground vehicles were far smaller than these shuttle ships.

The 1st Mechanized Regiment and the Tribesmen entered these ships and were transported to the top, while Zhang Ge and others took a Valkyrie transport plane that flew over, forming a three-plane formation with two Stormhawk Interceptors carrying the Hyberian people and the Yarkalan higher-ups.

Their goal was not the transport ship, but an escort ship that was set up as the command ship, where the accompanying Sisters of Battle, Space Marines, and Militarum Tempestus were mainly located.

Astra Militarum? Of course Astra Militarum also came, but they are mainly responsible for dirty and tiring work, and there are too many of them. Basically, they will appear in every place on the Imperial front line, so they are defaulted to exist and will not be specifically mentioned.

When the three fighters flew towards the command ship, there was a small episode.

When several shuttle ships were loading personnel, the transport ship was also scanning the Land Battleship below, which was not much smaller than itself, to confirm its situation in order to determine the transport plan.

All the data was normal, except for one item: gravity.

Judging from the Gravitic Anomaly characteristics, this thing was too light, even less than one-fifth of the weight it should normally have at this size, as if it was just a shell with an empty inside, or a steel shell with solid wood inside.

Although the accompanying Adeptus Mechanicus personnel only glanced at this data and said that you people have seen too little and are making a fuss, it would be abnormal if something like this, dug out from who knows where, had no data anomalies at all.

When he was still an apprentice, he had even seen relics with high thermal data from a distance, but whose surface temperature was close to absolute zero after approaching with other priests.

But after having a previous lesson of concealing and not reporting, the captain still reported the situation out of caution.

Guess where it was reported to?

That's right, it was Zhang Ge himself.

The process was that the captain asked his superior, the superior asked the Adeptus Mechanicus expert, the expert thought to himself that this was something that couldn't be said randomly before it was specifically tested, so he reported it to the decision-making level and asked whether to suspend the evacuation and test it first.

However, the high-level officials who were originally responsible for decision-making had long been emptied except for the Astra Militarum and Adeptus Mechanicus personnel, so this message went around to the Victrix Guard and Blythe.

The two took a look at the matter related to Zhang Ge, looked at each other, and finally unanimously threw the final decision-making power of the question to Zhang Ge himself, and made a communication to ask him how to decide.

This inquiry came too quickly and too abruptly. Zhang Ge thought that it was just because the Land Battleship was brought by him, so he was just asking for his opinion.

He now just wanted to get to the place as soon as possible to accept the Sanctioned Psyk-interrogation and then be made into barbecue skewers, so he didn't have the leisure to care about these formalities, so he casually answered: "Just follow the initial decision, I don't have any special opinions."

What was the initial decision? That's right, it was the accompanying Adeptus Mechanicus personnel's "Don't worry about it, it's a normal phenomenon".

So, as the shuttle ships returned to their positions, the transport ship also normally towed the Land Battleship into the air.

If there was someone on the underground web at this time, they would be able to see that Sabulous Colossus, who had come to the high altitude for the first time in the hollow Land Battleship without a back cover - and most likely also represented the first time that this species had come to the high altitude.
