"…well."
Reading the many parameters returned from the auspicious instrument, the technical priest named Redjak sighed, and his hoarse and old mechanical voice revealed his melancholy mood.
He is the technical priest who just communicated with the female captain on the "Fortitude Resolve". He is also the talker in the forging world of Salem, and the founder of the "Mechanical Pagan Cult" who has appealed for help from the distant homeland of Mars.
The dark red simple robes set off his rickety figure. The dense cables and mechanical parts have replaced most of the living tissues in his old body. The various research reports that were extremely precious in the past are now like waste paper. Scattered all over the ground, the ancient sage was worried about their future.
Obviously, the ancient knowledge buried under this planet is in danger. The barbaric alien empire is constantly prying open the door of their locked rationality, and the precious time is running out after countless careful calculations.
Even though their reinforcements from distant worlds are arriving, the current situation is still not optimistic.
Those alien scum of the [Brotherhood of Destruction] are attacking the defense line of the forging world Salem all the time. The huge fleet that covers the sky is like a swarm surrounding the metal planet. These [Mechanical Pagans] are The artillery arrays and void shields used for anti-aircraft were burned in the endless iron rain. As a price, the dirty flesh and blood and mechanical originals from the aliens almost covered the surface, as well as the spores of the Orcs-such as Ohm Nisaiah blessed him to survive the incident, so Redjak must clean up the planet.
But now, his brain, which has only a few wet pieces left, is only filled with uneasiness. The alien empire's increasingly fierce offensive is shortening the time limit he calculated.
Redjak only prayed that these reinforcements from the homeland of the solar system would arrive as soon as possible.
Because [Mechanical Paganism] has now completely lost control of the planet, supplies and servitors have been continuously consumed in the endless flames of war, and even vital communications have been almost cut off.
If this continues, Salem will definitely not be able to survive another Mars standard month.
…
The actual situation is somewhat different from what Redjak imagined.
"You trash! You actually allowed those intruders to pass [Anchor Point] smoothly. Don't you know that is our only way out!?"
On the throne made of all kinds of steel and unknown machinery, the [Emperor] roared crazily at their alien subjects. As the king of the alien empire that once conquered the entire Golgotan sector, he They know that the only stable [anchor point] filled with chaotic subspace storm airflow, which is also called the [Mandeville Point] by the human empire, will be their only chance of survival in the face of the unknown enemy.
"But, but...my majesty, those invaders are too weird...our patrol fleets have lost contact one after another. Our empire has too few fleets to control the territory, and the fleets left there are really not enough. ah…"
"Not enough? That's two fucking hundred ships! What's more, since they started invading my territory, we have lost half of our fleet! And we don't even know their origins, trash!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... At least we can still defend this planet... Those oil guys have been driven underground by us. I think it won't be long before we can get the ancient technology hidden under their corpses!"
"But what's the use? Waiting for the invaders to crush the rest of our fleet on this metal planet that is so barren that even the orc brothers can't be stationed here?"
Angry and crazy electronic sounds echoed in the empty hall. The king of the alien empire frantically vented his anger on his cowardly and incompetent subordinates, and there was a hint of deep despair in it.
Yes, this alien empire called [Brotherhood of Destruction] has been forced into a desperate situation by those unknown invaders.
At first, the [Brotherhood of Destruction], which maintained almost 90% control of the Golgotan sector, focused on this ancient forging world called Salem. The desire for unknown technology prompted the aliens to launch an attack on this world. War - they originally thought that this war was just like the thousands of wars they had fought to conquer this star region, a planet that could be easily conquered with the help of a vast and majestic fleet.
In fact, those [Mechanical Pagans] transformed this planet into a fortress world. Endless air defense arrays and void shields kept the alien empire's minions at bay. The task of conquering this planet changed from simple conquest to It turned into a cruel war of attrition. These aliens, who exuded madness in their blood, refused to give in. They expropriated countless resources and manpower from the human world in the entire star sector, which had been destroyed for thousands of years. The human slaves they controlled played a key role in this war. They were the alien slaves and cannon fodder soldiers who served as the alien nobles.
Endless lives and warships are thrown towards this airless metal planet like consumables. The air defense arrays all over the planet are spitting out tongues of death all the time, even if the vacuum environment cannot transmit the pain of trillions of alien slaves. There were screams and whines of pain, but the carpet of flesh and blood that was gradually spread out on the planet also spread an atmosphere of death.
Under the bloody and rapid consumption, even the powerful air defense array of the [Mechanical Paganism] that could overcome thousands of fleets was gradually eroded and consumed, and the alien empire with rich heritage stepped up their bloody and cruel offensive—— It wasn't until the population of dozens of slave worlds were squandered by their cruelty that the airdrop pods containing the Orc mercenaries and the alien warriors were frantically thrown to the surface, and then the man named [ The ancient organization of "Mechanical Pagan Cult" continues to encroach on the scope of activities on the surface. Just like the dozens of worlds that this powerful alien empire has conquered in the past thousand years, this dead planet with countless ancient secrets will eventually were incorporated into the rule of their empire.
However, something unexpected happened.
Unknown invaders have appeared in this star field that has been controlled by the Alien Empire for nearly a thousand years, but the [Brotherhood of Destruction] knows nothing about their existence.
All they knew was that one patrol fleet after another lost contact amid screams and desperate communications. These ferocious wolf-like enemies were hunting for the power of the Alien Empire.
Panic and panic suddenly filled the entire empire, but they had nothing to do about it - it was as if they were witnessing a giant gluttonous mouth from the darkness outside the territory that was constantly chewing their flesh and blood, making a terrifying sound of chewing bones and grinding flesh. It was slowly approaching their ears.
The only way to bring a sense of security is to keep the fleets that once served as symbols of the alien empire's strength within sight, which is also around the forging world of Salem that the [Emperor] is conquering.
As a price, they have completely lost control of the entire Golgotan sector, and the unknown huge shadow is slowly approaching.
Obviously, this tiny alien empire, which is located in a corner of the maelstrom, has never imagined why all the worlds they have conquered have a race called 'human'.
In the whirlpool of barbaric information and barbarism, they had never heard of the prestige of the [Human Empire] that had resounded throughout the galaxy.
Because in the Great Crusade in pursuit of efficiency and time, the conquerors from Terra temporarily ignored this unsophisticated chaotic star region. However, as the territory of mankind continued to be developed in the galaxy, this land that was once filled with barbarians The star sector will eventually usher in its fate - to be reconquered by humans.
