"So...... What are they? Misha stood in front of his command room, looking at the huge liquid metal polymer on the monitor with a look of surprise, the metal itself looked like mercury, but there was a faint blue light inside the metal polymer, and, with each passing minute, the mass of metal polymer was even larger, he clinged to the metal ruins of the hive, frantically devouring the metal, and the cultists and even demons wrapped in it, who were growing stronger and feeding on their enemies. Although the www.biquge.info knew that it was on his side, Misha still felt a chill "like a hive ......"

"That's a coincidence." Steven stood behind him with an unfathomable smile.

"They're the ones they developed to fight Tyran, the 'Scavengers', and it's not that hard to implement them technologically. In the early days of the Setopia system, and even during the Golden Age of humanity, the Federation's ancestors used similar technology to transform the planet and recycle resources. At the time, however, we never imagined that we would one day use it as a weapon.

However, when dealing with those who like to use numerical superiority to exchange battle losses with us, and then quickly make up for the losses through the battlefield resource recovery system, and finally use the number to suppress our enemies, this kind of autonomous nano/picometer robot aggregate that has no fixed form, cannot be broken or chopped, and constantly proliferates and devours, will be very useful, and their recovery efficiency will be better than Tyran's devouring organisms...... Of course, we preset it, and although it seems to have a low intelligence, its built-in VI hub is very advanced in terms of friend or foe identification function, so you don't have to worry about accidental damage. ”

"Beautifully designed, I think of our tomb beetles, all of whom crush their opponents with sheer numbers...... But this way of using it beyond the fixed form is really eye-catching, not confined to the solid form, but devouring the opponent and proliferating with an amorphous form, a terrifying weapon...... Your scientists have quite a novel way of thinking, which makes me wonder, how did you come up with it? The phase technician looked at Steven with his metal skull-like head, two dots of green light flashing in his eye sockets.

"The need for war...... If we want to defeat our opponents, we must learn from them, and in order to deal with Tyrann, we sometimes have to resort to these extraordinary methods that are different from the usual, not to mention, this can prevent us from losing even more. ”

Steven shrugged, then gestured to the Sentinel Guards being deployed.

"And we're also very method-conscious about how we use scavenger clusters. The complex terrain of the Bottom Nest is not suitable for the deployment of bipedal or multi-legged unmanned combat robots, whether they are Wolf, Sentinel or other models, while the Scavenger swarm can gain a huge advantage in narrow and complex terrain, but the Scavengers lack long-range firepower, even with their shape-shifting abilities. Therefore, in the upper nest that is relatively open and easier to deploy firepower, the core center we set up is mainly to produce simple sentinels to suppress the enemy army, this is the ground combat method of the regular army of the Federation, after all, human resources are precious, and each soldier is of great value and unique, and we will definitely not waste the lives of soldiers in these useless consumption...... Not to mention the fact that our opponents do not care at all about their losses. ”

Steven frowned and looked at the screen: "It's not slow, but why do I feel so wrong...... Are we missing something? By the way, Patriarch Misha, what about your sister? ”

"She's gone to meet the representatives from the Empire, rest assured, it's an acquaintance."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Wright now feels ridiculous, in every sense.

Outside, the Federation's unmanned forces are battling chaos to the death, and the slime-like scavenger clusters are devouring Nurgle zombies and cultists...... Although rationally considering that smashing people to pieces with heavy firepower is just a way to kill the enemy, witnessing this kind of disaster movie-like scene on the front line is indeed a bit too big for Wright, who grew up in a peaceful environment.

But on the other hand, now Wright is accompanying Misha, who is full of calm faces, in the living room to entertain the guests who have just come from the upper nest, and there is no doubt that it is definitely not easy for them to come here, judging from the blood stains on their bodies.

But on the other hand, their expressions and identities added some ...... to this meeting Then there is something surreal.

"Long time no see, Mr. Supreme Judge." Misha calmly said to the leader of the empire that it was a middle-aged man wearing black legal department armor and a mechanical prosthetic leg on one hand, with blood stains and dust on his golden hair, a rough beard all over his face, and a fierce face, and when he heard Misha's question, his already fierce face looked even more hideous.

"What else do you have to pretend, witch, is there anything I have that you don't know? I thought you had been conquered by heresy......"

Then, he narrowed his eyes, and there was fierceness and coldness in his eyes: "Are you waiting for foreign help?" ”

"The friends of Setopia have always been willing to help us, but the Empire has always refused to recognize their existence...... But I have to admit that it was quite tense some time ago, and the cultists almost took our base camp, and I'm personally glad you were so attentive to that, Lord Lucas. ”

"Hmph, nonsense, you should know that I'm not here just to make sure you heretics are alive, so let me make a long story short."

Then, Lucas stood up.

"I am responsible for upholding the laws of the Emperor throughout the Section, and it is my mission to ensure that his will is carried out...... But this rebellion, it had no warning, and until now, even though the heretics had lost their fleets and suffered so great losses, they were still here, which was extremely unreasonable even for the traitors in their right minds. ”

Then, after a pause, he glanced around everyone present with his prosthetic eye, and Wright only felt that there was a volcano hidden under that eye: "So, you guys...... Do you know what the hell they are hiding? Or, what are they looking for? ”

"Nothing...... Misha sighed, "The Chaos Legion is nothing more than bait...... The real threat is someone else, and ...... They have already arrived. ”

Misha's eyes gleamed green as she looked at Arbitrator Alice, who was sitting next to Lucas, "Like the reason you came here in the first place...... Dark Mechanics, they were the ones behind it all, and now, I suspect they've made it their target. ”
