【Thank you for your hard work. 】
In their eyes, Elaine saw many emotions - longing, admiration, and worry.
His loss of contact was undoubtedly a heavy blow to these Astartes.
Thinking of this, Elaine couldn't help but sigh.
In order to break free from the shackles of fate, the Sons of the Mountains have sacrificed so much that even the Empire found it unbelievable.
——There are only four digits of mortal auxiliaries left, three digits of Astartes, two digits of battleships, and one digit of Titans.
And the sacrifice of an entire generation.
During her time in Colchis, she had read the extremely tragic battle report. Elaine also saw Luo Jia's disbelieving look.
Yes, the price to win that war was too high.
Even though the potion technology of the Children of the Mountains has greatly improved the survival rate on the battlefield and the success rate of cultivating Astartes, the constant loss of life has actually reduced Nuceria, Salem, and The worlds affiliated with the Children of the Mountains were severely damaged to the point of recovery.
Everything that once belonged to the Twelfth Legion may have disappeared in that war, and the living lives were reduced to sacrifices to the Blood God, and the great sacrifice was shrouded in the haze under the skull.
When they returned in triumph, they were unable to obtain the corresponding honors because of the truth of the empire, and were only described as a trivial concept like fighting against [natural disasters].
In fact, what they were fighting was countless times more terrifying than natural disasters.
Blood God, Lord of Skulls, symbol of war and glory, evil god of blood and fire.
【Khorne】.
Using human power to resist gods, using will to defy fate, such a great struggle may be only done by the Lord of Humanity...but his existence is beyond the reach of any existence in the real universe.
But the sons of the mountains are only human beings.
Even though they have superhuman bodies that have been transformed into Astartes, and have terrifying armaments that can defeat any alien empire in the galaxy, in the final analysis... they are still just humans.
Without the talent to use psychic powers, nor the extraordinary special physique, in front of the Blood God, they were almost as insignificant as mortals.
But even so, these descendants of the Lord of the Red Sand still united under the banner of the mountains and fought hysterically to win a difficult freedom.
A tragic war with tragic results. Elaine doesn't know what kind of difficulties they will face next, but for now, the Sons of the Mountains have paid an unspeakable heavy price.
But at the end of the war, they lost contact with the Lord of the Legion, the genetic mother who condensed the will of all of them into a sharp blade.
Just from the perspective of a bystander, Elaine is enough to feel the confusion permeating the hearts of these unyielding warriors, not to mention that she is the mother of these children who are covered with bruises.
…
The erosion of the warp in the sky continues to worsen, and countless Daemons of Slaanesh are falling from the sky like funnels.
The demons that flooded into Commorragh have turned into the cruelest hunters, hunting these delicious Eldar in their favorite way.
Feeling the familiar atmosphere, Elaine not only sighed, but also casually crushed the head of the Slaanesh demon that rushed towards her.
She glanced at the Dark Eldar gathered around her and huddled around her, but didn't say much.
They should know what mankind's attitude is towards alien races.
…
Accompanied by the harsh noise of the roaring engine, the battle barge of the Children of the Mountains slowly docked in front of Elaine.
The huge ship body, which was like a giant metal box, crushed the surrounding houses without any hindrance. The several-kilometer-long ship almost traversed the entire block. For an emergency landing, its exaggeratedly thick and solid shell was not even damaged.
Although this city has been completely paralyzed by the invasion of the demon world, and there is no port for combat barges to land, the empire's ships are known for their durability. It is just an emergency landing, and there will probably not be any question.
What's more, they never wanted to land at the port of the alien world.
In just a moment, several Astartes wearing blue and white power armor filed out of the cabin, and they also saw the familiar stalwart figure in the middle of the street.
A burly figure that is several times taller than a Space Marine, wearing an extremely broken scarlet power armor that is already stained with the blood of wizards, a helmet that is so damaged that its pupils are exposed, and a vaguely visible figure that can be seen from it. With his red hair, he was playing with some extremely ancient mechanical creation in his power fist.
Beside her, in addition to the countless demon corpses that almost piled up on a hill, there were several trembling Dark Eldar—Adonis, the descendant of the Eldar Lord, Servius the Haemonculus, and a After the Slaanesh demons invaded Commorragh, the cabal warriors belonging to the nobles of Erth were brought by Servius to seek refuge with Elaine.
Although Elaine's image at this time is completely different from that of the Lord of Red Sand in the world of her heart, to the sons of the mountains, her mother's familiar gentle gaze will not change.
"Mother."
Although he did not understand that his mother would be accompanied by a dirty alien, Kahn still led the original body guards around him and knelt down without hesitation.
Elaine didn't say much, just nodded slightly.
"Mother, is this...?"
After getting up, Kahn looked at the Dark Eldar behind her with some confusion.
"Here are some slaves we'll be using."
Elaine glanced slightly at the Haemon beside him and spoke slowly.
"With the destruction of this webway city imminent, this alien species is on the verge of extinction."
"And they know the use of the Webway and the ferries, just as you did when you came, and we can enslave them into wetware."
"And this alien named Haemon has mastered the breeding technology of this race, so that we can reproduce this race without having to bring too many aliens."
Following Elaine's cold voice, the dark elves lying on the ground beside her showed expressions of humiliation.
Kahn suddenly realized that his mother should know how to use these alien [wetware] technologies through their memories. Makado must have known that such a day would come, so he confidently handed over this technology to himself.
"Although I am still a little interested in this webway city...but for now, we don't have too many troops."
As she spoke, Elaine looked at the demonic world in the sky that exuded an ominous aura.
Compared to the digital bodyguards of the original body in front of her, the gap seemed insurmountable.
"If possible... we'd better take [escaping from here as much as possible] as our next action goal."
Although Elaine herself didn't mind fighting those Slaanesh demons until she was tired, the safety of her heirs was still a crucial matter.
"This is the Iron Man Omnic Core I obtained in Colchis. I can let Redjak study it later."
"Okay, let's go."
Under the unbelievable gaze of the accompanying technical priest, Elaine handed over the Iron Man Core in his hand to the opponent, and then boarded the battle barge resolutely.
