The mayor who stopped Kane and his party outside the town was not a man of fear.

Although Kane's cruelty shocked him, he still reacted in time, he frowned, and his tone was heavy: "What the hell is going on?"

Kane didn't put on a show, and patiently explained: "To put it simply, it's a xeno, a monster, this is already the offspring of a hybrid between monsters and humans, if the infected person is the first generation, then this is already the fourth generation." ”

Kane added, "I'm sure you have some horror or disappearances here, especially your great-grandparents, even a generation or two earlier. ”

The mayor was stunned at first, then his brows furrowed even tighter, and he pursed his lips, but he refused to talk more.

Kane understood that he was right, but he didn't want to show his shortcomings in front of outsiders. Wary, but it's normal.

He continued: "I know that the development itself is not a small risk, there are dead people, missing people, there are all people, so you didn't take it too seriously before. But this kid, I'm afraid that you will regard him as a cultivable nephew, so let's take it with you. have all penetrated to this extent, and you imagine how harmful it will be if they flare up. ”

At this moment, a certain unit of the defense army guarding Gradius arrived.

The Human Imperial Defense Army, although it is the cannon fodder of Warhammer 40K Tianzi No. 1, which does not kill dozens or millions of people in any battle, but in fact, they are very good in terms of discipline, combat quality, or morale.

The weapons used are a little worse, but they are also relative.

In the interstellar era, most of the light infantry's equipment was indeed slightly better than that of the orc boy.

But if compared with the soldiers of the origin world in Kane's memory, it has obvious equipment advantages.

Don't look at the individual equipment of the earth soldiers represented by the mold army, there are dozens of kinds of individual soldiers, which makes people unaware of it, and IG (the abbreviation of the Imperial Defense Force) soldiers are often just a few. But in fact, IG is fighting old, countless battles of all kinds, countless deaths, and the equipment system summed up is definitely the best solution of the times.

Therefore, the Imperial Defense Force still has some very famous legions, and as long as it is a regular army, the combat effectiveness is basically above the horizontal line.

But the IG guarding Gradius is much inferior.

Because they have not participated in the internal movement of personnel in the bureau for more than two thousand years. It can only be regarded as a local army with the IG brand, or a planetary defense force.

Finally, they are still abiding by military regulations. Taking the garrison near the town of Mesville as an example, it has its own garrison, and it does not let officers and soldiers run to the town at will in normal times, and the training is also very tight.

But after all, it's still bad, and the slowness is only a minor problem.

"Sir, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the 5th Light Infantry Division of the 4709th Regiment has arrived with the regiment and reported to you!"

The lieutenant colonel with a small belly was a little panting, but the military salute was powerful and pleasing to the eye, and he should have practiced a lot in normal times.

The regimental leader obviously noticed the chicken thief F4 that was still alive in Kane's hand, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and he was quite calm. And the target of his salute was not Kane, but the representative of the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Defense Forces, Major General Amokovich.

The Imperial Bosses knew in advance that Kane was coming to a lost colony outside of the Torch Radius. Therefore, some people were specially sent to rebuild the team.

The Assassins' Court, the Inquisition, the State Church, the Navy, the Defense Forces, etc., all have corresponding teams.

But the Ministry of Administration, at Kane's request, did not. The Imperial Executive Yuan upheld a policy of governance, which was very feudal and allowed autonomy.

It was this local strategy of governing the region that allowed the empire to envelop millions of colonized worlds.

And Kane's arrival on the surface of Gradius this time was not just one of them, but several detachments acting separately. Some represent military affairs, some represent government affairs, and some represent legal affairs and educational affairs.

Kane represents the mission.

After a brief evaluation by Miranda, Kane chose the town of Mesville, not too far from here, where there is the necropolis of space necrocy.

Before becoming necromancy, the Dreadors were an unfortunate race that seemed to be cursed by fate.

They say that the star system where they were born is very unstable, scattering high-temperature plasma storms and flares from time to time. As a result, the Dreadnosaur race is always in a precarious situation until they are able to leave the gravity well, often going to the grave shortly after birth due to the stellar hazard.

With withering and extreme pressure, the Fear of the Dead has shown more effort and tenacity than other intelligent populations can imagine, developing technology and trying to change their fate.

They did completely kill them on the star to which their home planet belonged, and mastered the technology of interstellar colonization, but it was inevitable that they would be forever branded with a curse.

This curse is like the effect of a bad upbringing on a person in his childhood, youth, and the fear of death is radical and pathological compared to other intelligent races.

This is also the reason why they later fought to the death with the ancient saint clan because of jealousy and hatred, no grievance and no hatred.

In the average intelligent race, born with good conditions and longevity, this is not enough to be the fate of the entire population, but also to destroy the other party, but the fear of death will.

They believe that the very existence of the Ancient Saints is a mockery of their race.

Because the ancient saint clan not only has a long life, but also is intelligent, and he grasps both technology and transcendence, and both hands are very hard.

Why, why do you take all the good things?

With such a favorable environment, a group of lazy rice worms were not raised, but diligent geniuses were raised. However, this diligent genius is not a lonely house, but a sense of existence in the universe for helping the world, helping others, and brushing the universe!

The Death-Dreadors challenge the Old Sages, and while their technology is good, it's still not enough to match the Old Sages.

However, the more the ancient saints downplayed, the more hateful the fears of the dead were. They know that if they can't win, they are synonymous with self-immeasurability, vexatiousness, and so on in the history of life in the universe, and they are the clowns of the number one.

Eventually, the Battle for Heaven took a turn for the better after the Star God, an ancient energy life born from the stars, was encased in a living metal shell called the Bridge of Starlight.

That's right, living metal technology was invented by the Fear of the Dead, and heat is not a star god.

The Star Gods are transcendent, and they are powerful beings like primordial gods, and the transcendent means they possess are their technology, and they don't need to develop any technology at all.

The Star God can control the majestic power of the stellar star, even the Ancient Saint Clan, plus the Life Race that the Ancient Saints have ignited or specially cultivated, is not the opponent of the Death-Fearing Beings who have united the Star God.

The Fear of the Dead has finally pulled the high Ancient Saints down from the position of saints, and when faced with the survival of the race, the Ancient Saints will also make bad moves.

The bad trick of the ancient saints is to break the self-discipline and constraints that psionics abide by, and use subspace energy beyond the limit.

But even so, it didn't save their fate.

Although the ancient saints are quite a bit of a natural winner of fate, they are not without shortcomings. One of their shortcomings is that they do not have prosperous children.

Specifically, the fertility rate of their race is a joke compared to other intelligent life forms (to the point that every birth is celebrated). It's just that they are not immortal and have an infinite lifespan.

If any transcendent curse, under the gods and gods, has a race of gold, silver, copper, and iron, as a representative life that is civilized and diffusion in the process of cosmic evolution, then the ancient saints who were born later than the star gods but earlier than other races can be regarded as the people of gold.

Once the transcendent universe, the people of gold are often inextricably linked to the gods.

Some are simply descendants of the gods, because the environment of heaven and earth is not allowed, there is no environment for nurturing natural beings, and they only rely on the mysterious elements that are thinner from generation to generation by their parents, and they have the body of a demigod, and so on.

But in the Warhammer 40K universe, this is not the case.

In this universe, due to the fundamental factors of subspace and the physical universe, it is difficult for natural gods to be born from the beginning.

Even though the star god was born, its existence was bound by the stellar theory. They feed on the energy of the stars, but they can't do without them. Although they were born in the physical universe, their attributes are subspace.

Because, in the Warhammer 40K universe, the star itself has the quality of the two worlds, it is material, but it releases majestic energy all the time.

Of course, for now, this is Kane's reasoning.

Although he was very forced, he didn't dare to rush into the stars to find out.

1. He doesn't have enough information about the Warhammer 40K universe.

2. He has never forgotten that he came to this universe in this way. He doesn't die, neither the evil god nor the ancient god has a good chance of killing him. Otherwise, it may be a long-planned series of blows, a set of takeaways.

Moving on to the ancient saints.

The ancient saints had nothing to do with the gods, and it could be said that they were the best life forms that could be born naturally in the universe at that time. They are a golden race of the rich generation, who refuse to grow old, but they also have to succumb to the laws of the universe, so they have obvious shortcomings.

It is precisely because of the difficulty of reproduction that the Old Saints have cultivated more than one race of slaves, including the Eldarlings and Orcs. Of course, the ancient saints did not admit to being slaves, they called them a race of assistants.

In addition to the helper race, the Old Saints were also keen to assist in the birth of other intelligent races in the universe. This is the so-called ancient saint in the eyes of the fearful of death, who is willing to help the world, willing to surrender, and full of the universe to brush up the sense of existence.

This is a typical case of different experiences, different cognitions, and different perspectives on problems.

In Kane's view, the Old Saints obviously used the universe as an experimental field, collecting biological data from natural births all over the universe (the Old Saints only provided limited help to avoid the death of the intelligent race due to accidents), in order to solve the problem of their own race's lack of reproduction.

And in the eyes of the fearful, this becomes a pretense.

One of the biggest impressions of Kane's adventure in the multiverse is that he is not afraid of bad things, but he is afraid of no good people.

Those who fear death are not good people, and they are the most disgusting of the bad guys, harming others and not benefiting themselves.

The Fear of the Dead did indeed unite with the Star God in the end, and killed the Ancient Saint.

And more importantly, they witnessed the Ancient Saints 'unloading their sacred disguises' and using subspace energy beyond their limits.

This did not save the Old Saints from extinction. Instead, waves of subspace storms have been set off in this universe since then.

That's right, if subspace was originally a huge and boundless backwater, then the Ancient Saint is the existence that creates the tides.

It's just that instead of the moon, some kind of equipment (later generations called it an artifact) is used.

When Kane studied Warhammer 40K, he did not explicitly state that the subspace storm was caused by the Old Sage. But many thought-provoking details point to this.

For example, in the Gradius incident, the words of the space necromancer, they said this:

For thousands of years, we have been waiting, waiting to regain life and reclaim our world, but the subspace storm is raging, life is so fragile, the time is ripe for it to wake up, in order to finally defeat the ancient saints......

When they finally chose to sleep, they did not know that the ancient saints had already paid the price of doomed destruction, they were faced with the poor transportation and information caused by the subspace storm, the Eldar spirits and orcs who launched a powerful offensive through network operations, and the will of the new master Star God, who was excited by the withering of life in the universe and planned to get up and cut leeks again through a wave of sleep, and the space necromancers originally belonged to different branches under the Three Holy Council, but later separated because they served their respective masters, so the information they had was not comprehensive. Timely, as well as uniform.

...... In order to finally defeat the Old Saints, in order to regain control of the galaxy (the Dreadnought are a cosmic race, and the reason they value the galaxy is because they see it as the most valuable crown). Our old adversary (referring to the Ancient Sage) left a gift (referring to the Subspace Storm) that has torn the entire planet apart and trapped us here. It was just a simple awakening, but life on this planet will soon know that the fear of space necrons has once again descended......

The winning mission condition of the space undead in the Gradius event is to control the artifact and solve the subspace storm in the area. And in this process, it is inevitable that it will compete with other racial forces and achieve victory, so that it can do whatever it wants.

It can be said that the appearance of Gradiaus's subspace storm was triggered by the awakening of the space undead and the activation of the ancient saint's artifact device to control the subspace storm.

At that time, many forces were fighting in the cage in this world, IG was the local garrison, and in the context of a large number of human beings being slaughtered and human towns being destroyed in large numbers, the remaining human beings were gathered to form a force.

The arrival of the Ultramarines Starband (blue by default) was a call for help from here and rushed here.

The orcs were responsible for the fall of Gradius's large number of human towns and the massacre of the population. They came to this world because of unreliable interstellar travel and crashes in subspace storms, and by the time they launched an attack on human towns, they had already become a trend, that is, mushrooms were everywhere.

The Titanium Clan is the home galaxy after experiencing a series of disasters that hurt those who heard and those who saw tears, and felt that if they did not find a new suitable life planet, they would die, so they launched the fourth expedition, one of the expeditionary fleets encountered a subspace storm, and the lucky ones did not die, and they landed in Gradius.

As for the Tyranid swarm. There is a saying that there are no eggs under the nest, and their latent infiltrators and chicken thieves have been quite successful, and they have been mixed with the human group of Gradiaus, and they have seen this place from the newly developed world with an ordinary population to the nest capital world where the population rises and falls, just like the summer grain in June, and it is only a few days before the ripe harvest.

As a result, the orcs who like to fight came, and they fought indiscriminately, killing countless humans.

The chicken thieves don't have the consciousness to die with humans, and in terms of physical fitness, they all have the strength of Captain America. Of course, there is no life and vibranium shield for the protagonist of the American team.

So they broke away from the human group in the midst of the massacre or chaos, armed themselves with human weapons or something, and played guerrilla warfare by relying on the superiority of the insects on the ground.

The Tyranid swarm is what they recruited.

Since the 'crops' are not really ripe, only a handful of them are coming.

The activity pattern of Tyranids is generally like this, the colony is dormant and the genetic thieves go out to find food. Years later, the gene thieves mapped out the blueprint for food.

As a creature of the Warhammer 40K universe, the Tyranid is also affected by the power of subspace, and has extraordinary characteristics, specifically being able to use psionic energy, but the mode is relatively alternative and not too delicate, it belongs to the simple and practical kind.

Their logic is simple, genetic thieves need 'parasitic soil', and the more descendants of genetic thieves, the more food in that area.

Therefore, the genetic thief, in the eyes of the swarm, is like the shining stars in the night, and if the stars in a certain area are shining, then it means that the trip is worthwhile.

Then it's time to plan the route to the march.

It is not a single planet, but a series of insects. The swarm will eat all the way, similar to marching ants, walking all the way, gnawing all the way, unstoppable.

Moreover, the efficiency and thoroughness of their plundering of resources can be said to be the existence of a number of cattle in the heavens and all worlds.

Before the plunder, it was Earth, and after the plunder, it was Mars. It's not a description, it's a statement.

From minerals to geothermal, from organic matter to heavy metals, from seawater to air, all insect colonies can be removed.

Pumping out the air is generally the last step, and when this step is completed, the whole planet is basically nothing other than silicon-like materials, and there is a real dead silence, seeing space, what atmosphere, what crustal activity, all of them are gone, it is a big stone in the universe.

So what about the chicken thief, who is the hero of the early detection?

Unfortunately, clean up together. It was the kind of person who saw the arrival of the king and excitedly greeted him and shouted: I am a friendly army, I am a friendly army!

To put it in computer jargon, loyalty or something, it's all pre-programmed. This set of procedures makes the chicken thief full of mission, and he has worked tirelessly for generations to make all kinds of efforts for the smooth robbery of the king. But there will not be good things such as being undercover for many years and being directly promoted to police officer and inspector, but will be harvested together as food. As for the chicken thief's own sense of expectation and achievement, it's all an illusion.

Therefore, the planet of Gradius is not worthy of a swarm to dispatch, it will only be a handful. Perhaps the birth of a new swarm of insects across the universe began with the successful ransacking of a living planet by this handful.

As for the chaotic forces, they have an indissoluble bond with human beings, and they come by the subspace storm, and they are very chic.

In short, the future of Gradius, a crowd of heroes, but that was already after the success of Abaddon's thirteenth expedition, and now the twelfth expedition has not yet begun, and it is nearly a thousand years away.

Back to the Ancient Saints and Subspace Storm, as well as the Warhammer 40K Universe, some of the most essential secrets.

According to the Eldarins, the intensity and frequency of subspace storms reached an unprecedented height before the birth of Slaanesh, and with the birth of Slaanesh, the subspace storms subsided for a time......

This phenomenon is very thought-provoking. It gives people the impression that the birth of the evil god is a quantitative change to a qualitative change after the stagnation of subspace energy.

Combined with this information, Kane has this speculation:

If there is no life phenomenon in the physical universe, but only the evolution of stars, then the entropy increase curve of the universe towards heat death is relatively stable.

In this context, the subspace side will also be unprosperous and relatively stable.

But life arose, and so did disturbances.

The greatest disturbance of life lies not in themselves, but in the birth and development of civilization.

From the perspective of energy, civilization is to reduce entropy through the use of energy, so as to achieve the effect of order. Because order is organized and logical, it is relatively controllable.

However, the operation of using energy to reduce entropy, from the perspective of the large heat death process, is actually a process of shortening the heat death process.

For example, uranium originally needed to go through many natural processes before it could react and deplete energy, but it was artificially refined, used as fuel, and quickly used up, and its long natural process was ended in a very short time.

Etcetera.

And it is this civilization created by intelligent life that has become a catalyst or variable that accelerates the heat death of the universe, forming a reaction in the subspace corresponding to the physical universe, resulting in a series of anomalies.

This inference was not something Kane thought of for a while, but when he destroyed the Medieval Warhammer universe with his own hands, he had a conceptual prototype.

Originally, the medieval Warhammer and Warhammer 40K were in the same series, and later the Creator God GW said that they were each counted separately, and at most they were sisters.

Therefore, whether the theory is universal or not, you must verify it to know.

Kane's creator project is to awaken the branch of the space necromancy on Gradius, find the artifact of the ancient saint, confirm the inevitability of its formation with the subspace storm, and then analyze it step by step to verify his reasoning.

When these are all clarified, subspace, evil gods, etc., will be nothing more than Erer.

Now, however, it is necessary to start with the cooperation with the human military and civilians of Gradius.

I don't expect them to contribute much, and if they don't cause trouble for him, they will be meritorious. But the chicken thieves have all evolved to F4, there are Chaos believers, and the locals are xenophobic, so it's almost impossible not to do something and not add to the chaos.

So there is this one in front of me, which seems a little trivial, but from another perspective, there is nothing wrong with walking steadily at every step.

The empire is not particularly afraid of how powerful the enemy on the frontal battlefield is, but people like Chaos Believers who are doing things behind enemy lines, and chicken thieves, who concentrate on development and make a super big news once they move, are very afraid.

At the same time, he can accumulate merit and favorability, so that he can do things smoothly in the name of the empire, so why not do it?
