When moving the creations of the Star Technology Tree to this universe, Russell always used rhetoric such as "legacy of the dark age of technology" to deceive the Mechanical Society, forcing himself to give himself rationality.

And now, he has truly found a piece of humanity's legacy from the dark ages of technology.

"This is an extremely powerful and extremely dangerous weapon. It was originally installed on the war flagship of ancient humans as the main weapon." Russell exhaled the air he had inhaled before, looking away from the ring instrument and looking at the link. The transparent cube under the instrument: "And it is the AI ​​artificial intelligence core that controls the war flagship and main weapons."

The connection between the ring instrument and the transparent cube was crude and sloppy, and Russell understood why. It was because the Eldar had failed to penetrate the overly powerful and mysterious technology of humanity's technological Dark Ages.

He stepped forward, stood under the broken crystal cluster, stared at the silent AI core, and explained to Gray Feng:

"The Eldar Empire has had many contacts and conflicts with the ancient humans in the Dark Age of Technology, and several wars have even broken out."

"In the largest conflict recorded in the history of the Eldar, the Eldar Empire nearly destroyed an extremely precious war flagship of humanity after paying a heavy price."

"After the war, the Eldar disassembled the ship's main weapons and artificial intelligence core respectively, trying to study and decipher the incredible time technology."

Yes, the purpose of this weapon is to interfere with time.

"Did the Fordola Ark Eldar just plan to rely on this thing to break the situation?" Gray Feng was a little confused.

"Yes, because it's a time weapon."

Russell looked up at the ring-shaped machine mounted on the crystal cluster and continued:

"Humans in the dark age of technology are particularly good at time technology. They are good at using time manipulation technology to counter the Eldar's ability to predict the future, and the function of this weapon is to go back in time on a large scale."

"The Eldar Empire failed to crack the secret of human time technology until its own collapse. The activation authority of the weapon is also in the hands of AI, but they still developed a rather crude way to use this weapon - combining the weapon with artificial intelligence The core is connected and then overloads the system, forcing it to activate at the cost of structural collapse of the weapon itself."

"The Eldar plan to use this method to turn back the time of the entire Lost Dream Star Group and restore the miniature galaxy to a complete state without damage, and they themselves can ride the tide of time together with the Ark World and enter a new era in the miniature galaxy. The universe is free from now on.”

Speaking of this, Russell was a little scared.

Fortunately, his actions were not slow, otherwise the Eldar had successfully activated the time weapon, and even he would have entered the miniature galaxy with these cowardly bean sprouts.

"No wonder you said before that once a dangerous device is successfully activated by the Eldar, the entire Lost Dream Nebula and us will no longer exist in this universe." Gray Feng suddenly realized: "So this is what you meant?"

Then, Gray Feng said: "I wonder if this weapon can be used by us?"

The power of time weapons is too powerful. If it is possible to use it, I believe no one will miss this opportunity, and Russell is no exception.

"The control of the time weapon belongs to this former battleship AI. We can start from here." Russell clapped his hands gently: "Before that, we should go."

Two strong insect nest tyrants walked from behind him to the crystal cluster cage. The two insects carried the ring-structured time weapon and the transparent cube-shaped artificial intelligence core respectively.

Russell left the craft world of Fodlan with two pieces of human heritage from the Dark Age of Technology.

After Russell left, the huge insect hive biological mothership emerged from the nebula and docked over the corpse of the craft world. The insect swarm was still doing the dismantling work. The Eldar and Zerg who died in the previous war The corpses are all recycled as biomass raw materials without any discrimination, and not a single drop is wasted.

Those Eldar individuals who were reduced to unintelligent species, as well as the few Fodlan warriors who were lucky enough to be seriously injured and survived, were also swallowed into the flesh cavity of the biological mothership, and were trained in the next step according to Russell's plan. . Compared with burning the land to dust, these spirit races can provide Russell with more and greater benefits after being domesticated.

After ending the war in his hands, Russell also learned about the war situation in other areas on the way back:

Due to the timely return of reinforcements, the Imperial Army commanded by Alexei temporarily suppressed the two-sided attack of the Eldar offensive force with an unsightly battle loss ratio. The reason why I say temporarily is because it was not suppressed in the end.

A scarred Eldar destroyer finally broke through the Imperial defenses and launched a suicide attack on the main L-Stargate in Falla - it detonated without hesitation after teleporting to Falla through the stargate. He hit the singularity reactor at the core of the destroyer, blowing his body and the left hand of the guide icon into pieces.

Even though the Order of Truth, prepared for the worst, successfully repaired the main gate using the nanobots left by Gray Wind at the first opportunity, this failed battle that failed to protect the Emperor's icon was still regarded as a great shame by the Imperial Army. , countless state church priests broke down and cried bitterly on the battlefield.

The chapter leader of the Crimson Upstarts fell into a state of madness because of this. He led his bodyguards into the enemy's formation and slashed at them. He almost died from being trapped in the siege. In the end, the Iron Wraith Chapter fought to the death with an interceptor. They rescued.

"They didn't hold it... It's a pity, but I don't blame them. Although there are many advanced fighters I provided to the Steel Wanderers, they are just a drop in the bucket on a battlefield of this level. They can keep the Star Gate in the hands of the Eldar who act strangely." It’s been a miracle that it’s taken so long.”

Russell shook his head and asked another question that he was more concerned about: "What about Milak? The Fire of Repentance Chapter should also be participating in the war. The enemies have all reached their home planet. No matter how long they recuperate, they have to get up with their swords in hand, right?"

Gray Wind shook his head: "No, Miraak has disappeared, along with the remaining 38 veterans of the Penitent Fire Chapter. The Inquisition is still looking for them everywhere."

"Missing?" Russell couldn't hold himself back: "What happened? Tell me in detail."

"Okay." Gray Feng nodded, came to Russell and sat down next to him, and then said:

"At the very beginning of the war—that is, when the Eldar launched their main attacks on the Xihe and Aurora systems at the same time—Mirak, the Chapter Master of the Flame of Repentance, and 38 veterans of the Chapter mysteriously disappeared without warning. ”

"The Adeptus Mechanicus stated that Miraak asked them for two light strike boats and a guided missile destroyer before disappearing, and then disappeared without a word of greeting. There has been no news from them since, until now."

“Because Miraak’s disappearance coincided with the Eldar’s attack on Falla, and because the Fire of Penance had previously opened fire on the Guide Statue, the Inquisition believed that the Fire of Penitence had betrayed the empire by escaping from the battlefield. "

"There are also radicals who have submitted petitions to Alexei and the Ministry of Military Affairs and other departments, hoping to erase the heretical formation of the Fire of Penance and replace it with other chapters capable of protecting the Emperor to be stationed in Falla."

This situation is really not very good, especially when Russell knows that Milak is a loyal person. Russell frowned while listening, and subconsciously clenched his fists, feeling both doubts and worries in his heart.

Gray Feng lowered his head, held Russell's palm with both hands, straightened and stretched out his clenched fingers one by one, and said softly: "You are a little nervous, Marshal, what's wrong?"

Only then did Russell realize his gaffe, so he smiled at Hui Feng and said: "I once saw that one day in the future, Miraak will give me some vital help on a certain matter, and Now he's missing..."

The originally relatively clear situation immediately became complicated, which he had not foreseen.

"Huh?" Gray Feng blinked, his expression full of surprise: "So isn't this sentence used by the marshal to deceive them? Is it actually true?"

"Of course it's true..." Russell pinched Gray Feng's face with one hand and gave him a half-crying face.

It would be fine if it was really just deceiving people.

"Anyway, let's go back to Faya first, and then we can find out why Milak disappeared and where he went." Russell let go of his hand and let the half-crying face on Gray Feng's cheek return to its original state.

Seeing how he was overreacting because his prediction was suspected to be wrong, Russell couldn't help but laugh at himself.

He suddenly remembered the two Primarchs who had the same ability to predict the future as himself: Sanguinius and Konrad Curze. Both of them believed in their prophecies to the point of being crazy. As a result, one of them was charged. Ruth dug out his heart and soul, and one of them was made into a space drift bottle.

I don't seem to be much different from them now, just like a clown.

Is it true that the human mind cannot control the power of God?

Gray Wind opened his eyes wide and looked at Russell's face. He didn't quite understand. He had just defeated the Ark Eldar of Fodlan and obtained treasures such as time weapons and ancient artificial intelligence cores. Not only was the marshal unhappy, but he was also because of several He became a little disappointed after the disappearance of ten genetically modified people.

After thinking for a while, Gray Feng carefully took Russell's hand and put it on his face, making a half-crying face.

"Would this make you feel better?"

Russell was stunned for a moment, then smiled and sighed: "Thank you, Gray Wind, I'm much better."

After saying that, he pinched half of Gray Feng's crying face into a smiling face, so the other half of Gray Feng's face also laughed.

In fact, after calming down, Russell could more or less guess the reason why Milak took the remaining veterans of the Penitent Fire Chapter and left without saying goodbye, but that reason was not suitable to be used as an excuse for the National Church and the Inquisition... Rather, that reason is itself a crime.

In addition, the timing of their disappearance was too coincidental, and even though the words of the Star Destroyer held great weight, he did not have much confidence that he could keep the title of the Fire of Repentance.

Take it one step at a time.

The Gray Goo mothership soon returned to the Xihe Galaxy and returned to Falla through the L-Star Gate.

Over the stargate that had been repaired in an emergency, the left hand of the emperor's statue was still incomplete. Russell didn't pay attention to this.

After the Gray Goo mothership flew into the Falla galaxy, the first thing that came into view was a dark red planet covered by a steel frame and various industrial zones.

Urban planet "Embra".

This planet was originally in the outer ring of the Falla galaxy. However, the Adeptus Mechanicus performed a miracle and forcibly pushed it into the habitable zone. It was transformed into an urban planet with full production capacity. It continuously devoured massive resources and processed them into high-strength alloys. and an ideal city for all types of military/civilian industrial products.

But there is a huge symbol on the surface of this ideal city, which can be seen even from space, and that is the symbol of the Adeptus Mechanicus - the Gear Skull.

The influence of the Adeptus Mechanicus goes far beyond that. When the Gray Goo mothership left the Embra star behind and entered the inner ring of the galaxy, the outline of a behemoth emerged, the star base that anchored itself in the orbit of the star. "Zhe" is right in front of us.

The Zelo storm projector left behind by the star bombers is installed on the top of the star base. This artifact, which can set off subspace storms on the scale of the star system, is shaped like a three-legged tower, with obscure and incomprehensible Zelo carvings on it. Luo text, but that was before.

The central control room of the star base under the current Zelo storm projector has been transformed into a glorious and magnificent cathedral. Murals, scriptures and poems praising the emperor of mankind can be seen everywhere, even the three-legged tower itself. The text was also obscured, and the representative gear skull of the Mechanicum and the sacred imperial double-headed eagle were printed.

This group of magicians... Seeing the storm projector transformed into the shape of the empire, Russell had an inexplicable feeling that he had been NTRed.

Boarding the Seeker with mixed emotions, Russell, as the Governor of Falla, participated in several post-war meetings led by Alexei, which were mainly about celebrations. Everyone deliberately avoided talking about the emperor's broken left hand. , focusing more on emphasizing how many troops and resources the planets they manage provided for this great victory, and exaggerating their own contributions.

After several discussions, Russell felt that he had gained nothing except feeling that he was very respected in Esbanese's upper circle and that his words had little weight.

On the contrary, the Order of Truth has been doing well in its arms business recently. After the battle with the Ark Eldar of Fordola, forces including the Order of the Mechanicus and the Steel Haunted Chapter have accumulated a large amount of psychic dust and living spirits. Tribe prisoners. The high-performance interceptors, Cyberlux combat bodies, and destructive weapons that Russell had previously deployed were basically bought by them.

In addition, the news spread by Bernadita has spread throughout the underground world of the Esbanese Sector. It is foreseeable that Russell will probably not be short of psychic fuel for a long time in the future.

And this area will probably become a restricted area for the Eldar.

It is worth mentioning that the Order of Truth is not a legal organization recognized by the empire, and of course Russell does not disdain to be recognized by the empire. Therefore, psychic dust trading has always followed a transaction process similar to the black market, and cannot be brought to the table and done openly.

This is why Russell did not ask Alexey, but relied on Bernadita to spread the news.
