Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 437 Clearing out the Miscellaneous Soldiers

Constance chose a utility room as her hiding place. Under Howard's command, Christina moved to the door and hid.

The enemy troops outside the door slowed down their pace and became lighter. They seemed to know that there were survivors hiding in this utility room. They also seemed to know that the survivors hiding in this utility room were ambushing them. They seemed to know even more that these survivors ambushing them were not easy to deal with.

Therefore, the two teams maintained a safe distance from each other and gradually surrounded the exit, while calling for more friendly forces.

But they didn't know that Howard knew everything they were doing.

All their calls for friendly reinforcements were intercepted by Om Messiah.

Howard raised his right hand, and as long as he gave the order, the fragmentation grenades on the second enemy troops would be detonated.

Since Om Messiah can detonate the fragmentation grenade on the enemy, why can't he detonate all the gunpowder on the enemy and kill the enemy directly?

The reason is simple. With Ohm Messiah's current computing power, it cannot do it.

After using it for so long, Howard roughly understood that the advantage of Om Messiah is to buff one's own team rather than debuff the enemy.

Under the control of Om Messiah, one's own weapons and machinery will exert far greater efficiency and power than usual, greatly enhancing one's own combat effectiveness.

However, Om Messiah's control over the machines of the hostile forces will be greatly reduced.

From the very beginning, Ohm Messiah told Howard that its computing power was not enough to support it in controlling all the machines. For those overly complex and overly powerful machines, it could only issue "commands" or "requests" to them. As for whether the other party responded to this "command" or "request", it was beyond its control.

Ohm Messiah is like the emperor among machines. Neutral and friendly machines, as subjects, will certainly not refuse Ohm Messiah's control, but enemy machines are rebels, and rebels do not obey the emperor's orders.

Om Messiah revealing his identity as emperor might shake some rebels, but it would not be enough to turn the tide of the war. Moreover, Om Messiah's computing power meant that it could only forcibly control a small number of rebels.

This is why on Karenya, Om Messiah was able to bring down the Crimson Sword, but was unable to stop the close-in weapon launch aimed at the Sister.

Because the Crimson Sword's machine soul has a tendency to self-destruct, and the close-in defense cannon is a weapon controlled by the Mechanical Sage himself, its ability to suppress the thermal weapons of both sides at the beginning of the war is already the greatest respect these machines have for it.

As the intensity of the war between the two sides gradually increased and the friendly and rebel camps became clearer and clearer, Om Messiah gradually could not suppress the machines of the Mechanical Sage camp. At most, it could prevent the rebel machines from hurting Howard in this chaotic battle and buff the weapons of its own soldiers. Apart from that, it could not change much more.

Now the Om Messiah can detonate an enemy's fragmentation grenade and silence the enemy's weapon for five seconds, which is already a great respect for the "Emperor" by these "rebel" machines.

In the headphones, Om Messiah was calculating the timing and probability of the attack at any time and synchronizing it to Howard.

The synchronization method is through sound. Ohm Messiah plays an indicator tone similar to radio FM. The lower the pitch, the lower the success rate, and vice versa.

Finally, in a very brief moment, the tone coming from the headphones suddenly rose, making Howard shiver.

"Snapped!"

Howard snapped his fingers and hit it.

"Boom!"

There was a loud explosion in the corridor outside.

Under the cover of the smoke, Christina ran out almost close to the ground, blending into the shadows.

The commotion outside immediately turned into screams and curses, and Howard counted silently in his mind.

"Five, four, three, two..."

When he counted to "two", the screams outside the door subsided, but the "one" in his heart had not yet fallen.

Howard walked out of his hiding place and just saw Christina's sword piercing the enemy soldier wearing power armor along with his shield. When she drew out her sword, the last enemy fell powerlessly in a pool of blood.

Although usually hidden in the handle of the broom, this longsword is a legitimate power weapon. Mass-produced blast shields and power armor are as thin as paper in front of it.

The entire corridor was stained red with blood, and even the ceiling was dripping blood.

Neatly severed body parts were lying everywhere. Some of the bodies had lost their upper bodies, but their lower bodies were still standing, with the internal organs and spine clearly visible at the broken parts.

Howard could imagine what Christina looked like when she rushed into the crowd. Because the power sword in her hand was too sharp, all defense and dodging were futile. The enemy fired in fear, but found that the weapon that had always been with them fell silent at the critical moment.

The power sword cut open the enemy's body. Because the power sword was too sharp, it hardly exerted any lateral force on the human body when cutting, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror. As a result, the enemy's upper and lower bodies separated, and the upper body fell to the ground, but the two legs remained standing. The blood spurting from the cut even soared to the roof.

"Sir!" Seeing Howard coming out, Christina put away her power sword and said to Howard happily, "I did it!"

Constance followed, and seeing all this, she asked:

"How did you do that? Are you a prophet?"

But the person she was asking was not Christina, but Howard.

But Howard just gave her a look:

"Don't ask any more questions."

Constance was furious, but she didn't dare to confront him openly, so she could only puff out her cheeks and glare at Howard.

"Master Howard!" Christina ran to Howard and bowed again, "Are you satisfied with my performance?"

"As long as the goal is achieved, there's no need to be satisfied or dissatisfied." Howard said indifferently.

"Okay..." Christina's mood was obviously a little depressed.

Howard certainly saw it, but he suppressed his unnecessary impulse and said to the two of them:

"The enemy has occupied most of this spacecraft. Your people are either being hunted by them or have become their prisoners. The trouble is not over yet."

"Sir..." But just as Howard was about to move forward, Christina spoke, "You...you don't really need to care about them. Your safety is the most important thing. This is the core area of the Helvenson family. I believe the supporting fleet will arrive soon. You should first ensure your own safety..."

Howard: "I don't need you to teach me how to do it."

Christina immediately shut up.

"What about you?" Howard looked at Constance again: "Are you following us or hiding?"

"Of course I'm following you!" Constance said, "Don't underestimate me!"
