Chapter Seventy-Six: Dusk Before the Long Night

“… Ryan, ready to launch a torpedo torpedo at Colchis? ”

After hearing Elaine's relay, Luo Jia was stunned.

At this moment, Lojana's face, which was extremely similar to that of the Lord of Mankind, revealed a stunned face that the Emperor himself had never expressed.

"That's right—although the dangerous energy responses have temporarily ceased to function after learning that we are still alive, there is still no room for optimism. It seems that the 'rigor' of my brother, whom I have never met, is indeed surprising. ”

Elaine spread her hands a little helplessly, in her memory, Ryan Eltenson's ruthlessness was indeed ranked among many genetic prototypes. It's just that she didn't expect too much for the current extreme situation.

After all, who would immediately drop a strategic-level weapon like a tornado just because of an early warning event of an iron man's activity.

Obviously, even Loga was shocked by Ryan's actions and thoughts.

"It's unbelievable..."

Luo Jia gritted her teeth. Not only because his hometown may be about to be destroyed, but in his impression, the haughty and ruthless knight brother, Ryan Al Johnson, could never have destroyed his hometown in such a ruthless way.

At this moment, the incomprehensible emergency in front of him made Luo Jia feel even stunned when he returned to the City of Perfection...

"There are a lot of unreasonable things... I don't think that's the first thing you or I encounter. ”

Elaine sighed and rubbed her forehead, a little wet hair and beads of sweat showing that her situation was not optimistic.

Just as she tried to communicate with Ryan through psionic communication, she was attacked by an unknown anti-psionic device on the Indomitable Truth—if it were a mortal psionic person's physique, she would have been killed by it in an instant.

However, this has little effect on the progenitor, but it also has some effect on Elaine's psionic communication.

So much so that she had to unilaterally pass on some information that could prove that 'the original gene is still alive'.

"All we have to do now is to pray that our brothers will show mercy."

Elaine said helplessly.

Not all protogens are as communicative and approachable as Horus, and this isn't the first time Elaine has encountered this type of progenitor - such as Perturabo, whose time with the Iron Lord is still a memory that Elaine doesn't want to talk too much about.

"But don't we have anything we can do!? This is not the front line of the Great Expedition, and the traces that symbolize the activities of the Iron Men - are they really that urgent!? ”

"I don't question my father's authority on the 'AI ban,' Loga. I've never touched Ryan - and I don't know what kind of genetic protoplasm he is, but his actions... Maybe it has a special meaning, even if it's your home planet. … Although I don't understand that he will drop the Tornado, the traces of Iron Man's activity are indeed a shared responsibility between you and me. Doing what you can and doing what you can is doing is the best way to do it. ”

Elaine's words revealed a hint of sadness.

Obviously, in this era of the Great Expedition where the flames of endless war have not spread to the entire galaxy, the crises that inhabit the galaxy are still not to be underestimated.

“… Damn it. I'm not trying to question my father's intentions, it's just that I can't accept Ryan's approach... My legion still needs Colchis, and Colchis still needs me, and this is where the rebirth of the Whisperers should begin..."

Loga tried to argue with Elaine with some anxiety, not unaware of what the Iron Man's activities symbolized - but what would the perfect city of perfection mean if his home planet was also destroyed by a sudden destruction?

His incompetence? His cowardice? His potential mutiny?

Loga was convinced that if Colchis, while still under the Emperor's watch, was destroyed by the First Legion, the stain on the Bearers would never be washed away.

This was simply unacceptable to Loga, although his horizons were indeed completely opened by Elaine, and he was able to see the many malices in the long river of fate, but it did not mean that he did not care about the reputation and safety of himself and the legion.

The appearance of the Iron Men, the arrival of the First Legion, and the successive emergencies have almost completely shattered Lorca's original plans, and if Colchis is indeed destroyed by this sudden event, the return of the Bearers to the Great Expedition will be greatly delayed.

This is something that every genogen cannot tolerate.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there is no shadow of chaos in these events - or they are not even aware of it.

Elaine knew exactly what was in Luojia's mind about his anxiety, but she didn't tell her directly, but continued with the busy work at hand.

"You're taking it for granted, Luojia. Not all battles will be as smooth sailing as the 'persuasion' experienced by the Bearers, and not all enemies will be subjugated by the teachings of Imperial Truth. ”

"In these days... We are only in the most rudimentary stages of war planning in the major cities, and even if mobilization has begun, the war potential of Colchis is obvious to all. And we haven't even found any trace of the enemy, and the desert is completely unobservable after the fluctuations in time and space - which means that if those beings attack us, we won't even have time to warn. ”

"These beings have been considered by my father to be an extremely dangerous taboo matter, and they come from the dark technological era of dozens of millennia ago—unknown technologies and weapons that have been lost, and the terrible ability to tear apart reason and destroy cognition, in a way... They are as dangerous as the horrors we are about to face, and even the Genoplasms and the Astarte Legion are at risk of defeat. ”

"This is the home planet that is vital to you and the Bearer, and for that... I felt the same way, and I did everything I could to prepare for the tough battle that came after learning about Iron Man's recovery. ”

"But, anyway—be prepared, whether or not Ryan drops the Tornado, whether Colchis is destroyed in the next battle, or whether the Legion of the Bearers is devastated in this battle."

"These are the inevitable 'costs' before victory."

As Elaine's tone grew more indifferent, she tore off her sleeve, revealing her right arm, a prosthetic arm made of pure gold.

The vitality of an Astarte legion, the pain of a genogenit's severed limbs.

Fighting against the chaotic fate and winning the corresponding victory, this is the price she pays.

She lifted the veil of the future, only to see only annihilation.

And in these days, Elaine's gift to Loga was not the dawn before darkness – but the last twilight before the sun set.

The last respite before the Storm of Destruction is over, and the tide of pain forged by the deep night will sweep across the galaxy.
