Thank you for your hard work. 】

In their eyes, Elaine saw many emotions—longing, admiration, and worry.

His loss of contact is undoubtedly a heavy blow to these Astartes.

Thinking of this, Elaine couldn't help but sigh.

In order to break free from the shackles of fate, the Children of the Mountains have given so much that even the Empire finds it unbelievable.

- There are only four-digit mortal auxiliaries, three-digit Astartes, two-digit warships, and single-digit Titans.

And the sacrifice of an entire generation.

During her time at Colchis, she had read the most tragic war report. And Luojia's disbelieving eyes, Elaine also saw in his eyes.

Yes, the price was too great to win that war.

Even though the Sons of the Mountains' potion technology has greatly improved the survival rate on the battlefield and the success rate of cultivating Astarte, the continuous loss of life has really damaged Nukeria, Salem, and the worlds attached to the Children of the Mountains to the point that it is difficult to recover.

Everything that once belonged to the Twelfth Legion may have vanished in that war, and the living life was reduced to the sacrifice of the blood god, the great sacrifice hidden under the skull.

When they returned in triumph, they were denied the honor of the Empire's truth, and were only described as a trivial consequence of the Scourge.

In fact, what they are fighting against is countless times more terrible than natural disasters.

The god of blood, the lord of skulls, the symbol of war and glory, the evil god of blood and fire.

[Fear of abuse].

Fighting the gods with human strength, defying fate with will, such a great struggle, perhaps only the Lord of Mankind has ever done this... But his existence is beyond the reach of any real universe.

The sons of the mountains, on the other hand, are only human beings.

Even though they have the superhuman body transformed into Astarte, and the terrifying armament that can wipe out any alien empire in the galaxy, at the end of the day... They are still just human.

With no talent for using psionic energy, and no extraordinary special physique, they were almost as small as mortals in front of that blood god.

But even so, the sons of the Lord of the Red Sands rallied under the banner of the mountains, and fought hysterically to win a hard-fought freedom.

Tragic war, tragic results. Elaine didn't know what the plight would lie ahead of them, but for now, the Children of the Mountains had paid an unspeakable price.

At the end of the war, however, they lost contact with the Lord of the Legion, the mother of genes that had condensed the will of all of them into a razor-sharp blade.

Just from the perspective of a bystander, Elaine was enough to feel the confusion that permeated the hearts of these indomitable warriors, not to mention that she was the mother of these bruised children.

……

The subspace erosion in the sky is constantly worsening, and countless Slaanesh demons are falling from the sky like funnels.

The demons that have poured into the Comoros have become the most ruthless hunters, hunting these delicious spirits in the way they love.

Feeling the familiar atmosphere, Elaine not only sighed, but also crushed the head of the Slaanesh demon who pounced on her.

She glanced at the dark spirits huddled around her, but didn't say much.

They should know what the attitude of humanity towards the alien race is.

……

With the screeching noise of the engines, the battle barge of the Children of the Mountains slowly docked in front of Elaine.

The massive hull of a giant metal box crushed the surrounding houses without hindrance, and the kilometers of ships stretched almost the entire block - its exaggeratedly thick solid shell was undamaged in the event of an emergency landing.

Although the city has been completely paralyzed by the invasion of the demon world, and there is no harbor for battle barges to land, the ships of the Empire are known for their durability, and there will be no problems with a single emergency landing.

What's more, they never wanted to land in the ports of the alien world.

In just a few moments, several Astartes in blue and white power armor burst out of the cabin, and they also saw the familiar majestic figure in the middle of the street.

Wearing a scarlet power armor that was extremely tattered but already stained with wizard blood, a helmet that was torn to the point of revealing pupils, and crimson hair that could be faintly peeked out of it, the power fist was playing with some kind of extremely ancient mechanical creation.

Beside her, in addition to the countless demon corpses that were almost piled up in a small mountain, there were several trembling dark spirits - Adonis, the heir of the Eldar monarch, Servius the Blood Servant, and a group of cabal warriors belonging to the nobles of Earls, who were taken by Servius to Elaine's side after the Saneanesh demon invaded the Comoros.

Although Elaine's image at this time is similar to that of the Lord of the Red Sands in the heart-like world, for the children of the mountains, the familiar gentle gaze of the mother will not change.

"Mother."

Although he didn't understand that his mother's side would lead the filthy aliens, Karn led the proto-body guards around him to kneel down without hesitation.

Elaine didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

"Mother, is this...?"

Rising, Karn looked suspiciously at the dark spirits behind her.

"These are some of the slaves we're going to use."

Elaine glanced at the blood servant beside her slightly, and spoke slowly.

"Due to the imminent destruction of this network city, this alien is about to become extinct."

"And they know the use of the network and the ferry, just as you did when you came, and we can transform them into wet pieces in a servile way."

"And this alien named the Blood Servant has mastered the breeding technology of this race, so that we don't have to bring too many aliens to achieve the reproduction of this race."

With Elaine's indifferent voice, the dark spirits who were prostrate on the ground beside her showed a look of humiliation.

Karn, on the other hand, suddenly realized that his mother must have known how to use these alien [wet pieces] technology through their memories. Machado must have known that there would be such a day, so he was relieved to hand over this technology to himself.

"Although I'm still a little interested in this network city... But at the moment, we don't have much troops. ”

As she spoke, Elaine glanced at the ominous demonic world in the sky.

Compared to the several primordial guards in front of her, it seems that the gap is a little insurmountable.

"If you can... We'd better aim to get out of here as much as possible. ”

Although Elaine himself didn't mind fighting the demons of Slaanesh until he was tired, the safety of his children was still of paramount importance.

"This is the Iron Man Core I got in Colchis, and I can get Redjak to study it later."

"Alright, let's go."

Delivering the Iron Man Core to the other party under the incredulous gaze of the accompanying technical priest, Elaine boarded the battle barge with great vigour.
