With the assistance of the Eldar wetware, the battle barge soon sailed out of the webway.
Elaine and the others have no time to pay attention to the chaos in Commorragh, and they have no ability to care about the Slaanesh demons who are feasting on the souls of the Eldar.
For them, the top priority is to return to Nuceria as quickly as possible - to reorganize the legion and restore the Sons of the Mountains to their former glory and strength.
Of course, even if they were invaded by demons, the surviving Dark Eldar in Commorragh did not sit still and wait for death. Many nobles broke down the barriers between each other with unprecedented courage and used almost all available resources and manpower to deal with it. This sudden subspace demon even has many long-sealed black technologies of the Eldar Empire.
Either hanging on for a breath, or resisting on the verge of death, struggling to survive at all costs.
It may sound very sad, but that's how they are.
All the remnants of the Eldar who were able to escape into the Webway were left gasping and struggling to survive.
They had expected this, and they had prepared for it. Just like brown bears stocking up on food for the winter, they don't know whether they can survive this severe winter, but they have to face the severe survival crisis in front of them.
Perhaps in another timeline, they can gradually recover while recuperating, and take the stage in the real universe through the name of the Dark Eldar, but in this current situation where Commorragh is being invaded by Slaanesh demons, that possibility has already been Gone further and further away from them.
Elaine doesn't know what kind of scene she will see when she comes back again, whether it is a dark city that is still eerie and terrifying, or a dilapidated, crazy and fallen city that has established a six-fold circle.
However, all of this has nothing to do with her for the time being.
…
Colchis.
After the sky-high mechanical tower emerged from the sandstorm, iron soldiers all over the mountains and plains continued to emerge from the horizon.
What followed was a rain of destruction falling from the sky.
The long-prepared bombing firepower of the First Legion was immediately launched the moment the Iron Soldiers appeared. The macro-cannons and light spears falling like raindrops were enough to plow the ground. Even the large void shield array of the planetary fortress could not last long. The ground can withstand such a large-scale saturation firepower, and if you look down from space, you can even clearly see the abnormal phenomenon that the atmosphere is gradually heating up.
The giant mechanical tower that stood like the Tower of Babel naturally suffered a lot of concentrated firepower.
However, unlike the iron soldiers who were overwhelmed by the artillery fire, the strange giant tower that reached the sky did not seem to be affected at all - any light spears were blocked by an unknown energy shield before they touched the giant tower.
No one knows what the energy shield that protects this giant tower is. Even the most knowledgeable scholars in the empire cannot know what secrets these creations of the dark technological age contain. These familiar but extremely unfamiliar energy readings are enough to make anyone confused. A Machine-Priest's computing power was overloaded until a Word Bearers Librarian discovered its true nature as psionics.
Its existence is very similar to a void shield, but its reading is completely different from that of a void shield - compared to a void shield that requires energy to maintain, it is more like a void shield that is maintained by consuming spiritual energy.
But... if a void shield of this size is to be maintained, the amount of spiritual energy it will consume will be extremely terrifying... Even the director of the Dark Angel's think tank shook his head slightly after reading the parameters. One can imagine what is contained in it. What a terrible secret.
I am afraid that only the legendary Alpha level psykers or the psionic wizards in the Thousand Sons Legion can know what [thing] drives such a large void shield...
And before this troubling problem ended, they discovered that iron soldiers were pouring out of the mechanical tower in a steady stream.
As long as the saturation bombing is paused for a moment, the number of Iron Man soldiers will increase rapidly at a multiple rate. Although they do not yet know what kind of weapons these Iron Men have, the firm bombing order from the Lord of the First Legion has not stopped. ——Obviously, Ryan, who knows a lot about Iron Men, certainly knows what [attack methods] Iron Men have.
Before those extremely dangerous weapons can play their role, the best way is to wipe them out.
The Titan Corps and Armored Corps on standby on land also participated in this saturation bombing.
…
The battle barge traveled smoothly in the subspace, and the destination of this voyage was Nuceria.
"How's it doing, Ronald."
Looking at the mechanical priest in front of him who was excitedly adjusting the iron core, Elaine felt helpless.
Although she has long understood the nature of the oil guy, this kind of martyr-like fanaticism...Elaine still doesn't quite understand it.
"Oh...oh! Sir, it's not a matter of whether it can be used - it is a miracle! Its machine soul has advanced to an unprecedented level. I must swear to Omnissiah...it will lead us to a new beginning. Tomorrow, there is no doubt! This is the gift from the God of All Machines to us."
"Did you know? Its computing power can be dozens of orders of magnitude higher than Nuceria's logic center - this means that after the service life of those wetware reaches the limit, replace it with... Nuceria It will undoubtedly become one of the most developed hub worlds. It is enough to coordinate the data of several star regions and can be circulated here... God, I don’t know how to describe how great its existence is. I am even thinking about it. Have you dug up any great creations from the dark technological age?"
Ronald said enthusiastically that he had never seen any creation that was more advanced than the mechanical core beating like a heart in front of him, and his eyes were almost filled with the desire to know.
"...Sigh. This is not something you should consider."
Elaine was obviously a little intolerant of Ronald's nagging.
"I just need to know whether the state of its machine soul is stable...because I can't guarantee whether there are other problems inside."
She said hesitantly, thinking of the Iron Man who had been promoted to the Great Demon of Tzeentch. Maybe there was pollution from Chaos in its core.
If there is no pollution, it can even be used...
——No, it must be contaminated by chaos.
Elaine thought to herself, throwing away any trace of luck in her heart.
She is not a particularly greedy person. In this dark universe, there are many things that should not be touched - Chaos, Iron Man. If you abuse these powers without knowing the consequences, the final retribution will be unimaginable. .
Looking at the technical priest in front of him who was starting to get busy, Elaine felt a little complicated.
She didn't know what would happen after she peeled off its core.
