"The soul-destroying messenger——"
Soshyan stepped forward and cautiously stretched out his hand to touch the cold arm of a robot.
At that moment, he felt all kinds of things: the dimness before and after the battle, the dark void dripping with oil between the activation and deactivation, and through his unconscious eyes, he saw groups of enemies in front of its weapons. Destruction in front of you, eternal war without thinking about the causes and consequences.
As the robot activated, new life was injected into its vein-like cables, and tracing the surging energy back to its source, Soshyan sensed a rapidly expanding sense of purpose as the combat program came online. , the synthetic cerebral cortex processes the orders that will send it into the battlefield.
But the journey came to an abrupt end when he discovered that there was a higher consciousness in this machine, a spark generated between countless circuits and valves.
A terrible and strong desire for destruction occupied this mechanical mind.
He saw a smooth, mirror-like green grid crystal embedded in the robot's cerebral cortex. A ball of flame danced in the crystal. The energetic will covered the robot's childish tactical chip and linked all its sensing nodes. , operating collaboratively under unified command.
The bright and scorching flames expanded rapidly, then quickly contracted, and finally turned into a wriggling mass of liquid metal.
"this--"
Soshiyang suddenly retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted. He stared at the machine with wide eyes, and the machine also looked at him clearly——
That's right, he actually had a mental connection with the machine, controlled it, and gained its sight and perception. If he hadn't been a Space Marine with superhuman thinking and analytical skills, this sudden connection wouldn't have happened. Likely to cause damage to his brain.
Surprised, he turned to Elena, but she nodded towards him.
"That's it, they will be like your arms and limbs, but you will still need familiarity and a certain degree of multi-threaded thinking training."
Sol rubbed his fingers on the side, he had been observing Soshyan, and then said:
"Much like Pebotura's hoop robots, they are also connected to the original body's thoughts. It is said that the traitorous original body can control hundreds of combat robots at the same time with the help of his arms and fingers."
Elena chuckled.
"The iron ring is nothing more than a pile of scrap metal in front of the lost souls. When they fight together, even the demon primarch will bow his knees."
Talos, who had been observing the robots, suddenly seemed to find something. His face almost hit the chest of a robot, and then his expression suddenly changed.
"Surprise--they're not metal!"
Soshyan was stunned for a moment.
"What did you say?"
"They're not made purely of metal."
Talos tapped the robot's chest lightly and looked at Elena.
"What was added to it?"
"Black Stone."
Talos's eyes widened.
"The Eleven Primarchs actually mastered the art of casting Black Stone? Since the Empire discovered the Black Stone, countless people have tried to use it, but no one has been able to successfully create a Black Stone product... What exactly did the Eleven Primarchs and the Black Stone cast back then? What deal did the alien make!?”
"Midnight Son, there are some things you shouldn't ask."
Talos snorted, walked aside angrily, then crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
Soshiyang felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, but he didn't know what to say. He could only walk to the other side of the cabin, where there was a row of stasis fields that were still open, with black bodies floating in them, with heads in the shape of A three-sided spear.
"What's this?"
"The Spear of Silence is a weapon prepared by His Majesty for the Gloom Guards. They are added with black stone and some special materials. They can cause devastating damage to subspace creations, and once physical creatures are hit, all heat will be drained. .”
"Does it have any requirements for the user?"
"Yes, if there is no gray marrow in the body, then it will suck all the heat out of the body."
Speaking of this, Soshiyang suddenly heard another thing, and then mentioned the White Temple to Elena, as well as the deteriorated gray marrow they used.
After listening, Elena rarely showed some surprise.
"Is there still this matter? His Majesty did find that gray marrow may degenerate, but the Anni Guard project had not yet been launched at that time, so this characteristic was not dealt with in time. Unexpectedly, it would turn out like this... leaving them tens of millions of dollars. Stop transplanting deteriorated gray marrow."
Soshyan nodded.
"It's stopped."
"Manticore is led by Captain Douda Goodman of the 'Death Comet'. Unexpectedly, their bloodline has continued to this day."
"Um?"
Suoshiyang suddenly frowned.
"Isn't it Captain Said?"
Upon hearing this name, Elena's body visibly stiffened.
It was only then that Soshiyang suddenly realized that Elena had never mentioned Said from beginning to end, and she had no concern at all.
So he asked further.
"Ms. Elena, don't you know Said?"
"I do not know him."
"This...how is this possible? Isn't he the first company commander?"
"The legion didn't have a company at all back then. How could it have a company commander? At its peak, the legion had a total of ninety-nine thousand-man companies, but I don't remember any thousand-man commander named Said."
Soshyan looked at each other in surprise, then turned to look at Sol.
Thor then sighed softly.
"No one knows who it is, but at least it helped you get to this day, which means it has no ill intentions towards you and the Eleventh Legion...at least for now."
“Maliciousness is often packaged in hypocrisy.”
Elena's cold voice interrupted Sol's words, and then she looked at Soshiyang and whispered:
"The secrets of the legion have been unearthed. Apart from me and Mu Hu, you can no longer trust anyone... If you must trust a third person again, it is only the Son of Midnight."
Talos raised his head and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Soshyan's mind is now shrouded in many questions and layers of fog. It stands to reason that after finding the flagship and confirming the return of the legion, his vision should become clearer.
But on the contrary, many things he used to believe were turned upside down without any explanation.
"The original body...were you planning anything with the Seal Holder back then?"
Hearing these words, Thor frowned, Talos' eyes moved slightly, and Elena lifted the black veil in front of her, stared at Soshiyang, then glanced at Thor, and whispered:
"I will explain it to you in detail later...when it's just the two of us."
In the middle of speaking, Elena suddenly stopped, and then changed her tone of doubt.
"Mu Hu just sent a message, it received a distress signal."
"A distress signal? Is it an Astropath message or something else?"
Soshyan was not surprised at first. The empire was standing still every moment. Many worlds died in obscurity for various reasons. No one knew what happened until they were destroyed. Therefore, distress signals often floated in the subspace. Many worlds died in obscurity for various reasons. It may have been drifting for dozens or even hundreds of years.
"No, Mu Hu cannot receive the Astropath signal. It is an electromagnetic signal, and it is very new and comes from a war group."
"Huh? Which war group?"
"The message from Mu Hu is... the Crimson Saber."
"ah!?"
Hearing the name, Soshyan and Talos both made surprised sounds, and even Thor raised his eyebrows.
