As the Sons of the Mountains' drop pod crashed to the surface of Colchith, Elaine and his party saw the goal of their trip.

It is a huge tower towering into the sky, like the legendary Tower of Babel.

It's just that compared to the giant tower that can connect the minds and wills of all mankind, this giant tower has a significant mechanical element, and there is no doubt that this is the mechanical tower that Elaine has seen in the subspace and the real universe.

It's just that compared to the ruined, ancient iron man ruins, the giant tower in front of them is like a marvel of some powerful civilization.

The very existence of a massive structure high enough to reach space is a challenge to materials and architecture, not to mention the fact that the tower appeared almost out of thin air without any known resources—Luojia had ordered the technocrats to carefully explore the mass and composition of the Iron Man and the mechanical tower, and to compare their composition with the existing and synthetic elements on Colchis.

And the result is completely unknown.

Although the Human Empire also has the ability and technology to build similar buildings, it is impossible to build such a spectacular structure without using the resources of the planet.

From the point of view of the Empire, the building did not belong to Colches at all.

It's like a ghostly building that has fallen from subspace into the real universe.

And the fact that...

It seems that this is exactly the case.

After all, in her opinion, this mechanical tower was most likely just the [bones] left behind by the iron demon who had removed the core from herself.

The steady stream of mechanical living corpses pouring out of the tower may have come from strange technology from the Age of Dark Technology, and in that terrifying and crazy era, infinite energy, perpetual motion machines, and more advanced and mysterious technologies may not be a bizarre thing.

Mechanical lifeforms, on the other hand, will only cycle through the last command they receive without a specific instruction.

【Reviving Iron Man Civilization】

Presumably, this is the will of the iron man.

Although subspace life usually does not leave corpses in the real universe, it is a demon belonging to the Demon Lord of All Changes, and even death may only be part of their scheme.

So, Elaine didn't let her guard down and saw it as a calamity that could be easily dealt with.

Just like the four Inquisition Divine Chosen to fight against Nurgle, an ordinary reconnaissance mission can also evolve into a fierce battle against Chaos monsters under the malice of Chaos.

I can't be sure that I'll suddenly kill a bunch of pink dreads halfway through.

Of course, the team she leads is not an illegal psyker who will suddenly lose control and explode himself, Oglim who only knows how to waste ammunition, a fanatic who can run faster than anyone else in an accident, or a veteran who is often blown to ashes by plasma guns.

Behind her was a group of Astarte veterans who had been honed in the Chaos Bloody War, confronted the Horrible Demon Army, and won the glory of victory.

……

When they reached the foot of the mechanical tower, they saw the artillery position of the Whisperers.

At this moment, the Whisperers are bombarding the entrance to the mechanical tower around the clock—

It was a strange portal that seemed to connect to the subspace and was pouring out of mechanical living corpses.

At the command center, Elaine meets with the Whisperer's temporary commander.

"You're here, sir."

Seeing Elaine arrive, Angeltay respectfully stood up from the commander's seat and saluted.

Behind Elaine, Karn was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect this battle brother of the Bearer to be in such a high position.

The big guys used to be brothers who were crawling in the duel pit, why did you kid suddenly get promoted?

… Oh, I used to be the second-in-command of the legion, that's fine.

Unlike Karn's nonsensical thoughts, in the face of the genetic prototype in front of him, Angeltay's current psychology is actually a little nervous.

After all, it stands to reason that the difference in status between the original and Astarte officers is very significant, and he should personally greet the other party when he receives a communication from the Twelfth Legion, rather than waiting for the other party to come to the door.

But the many trivial things on Colches made Angeltay a little anxious.

At this time, he was carrying the weight of almost the entire 17th Legion.

Under Luojia's orders, the warlord of the Sawtooth Sun Clan temporarily took over the command of the Legion of the Bearers.

Although Luojia is suspected of not wanting to manage the legion because of confusion, Angeltai has always been very strict with the orders of the Father of Genes.

Whether it's keeping the Dark Angels on guard, settling civilians who have evacuated from Colchis, or contacting the subgroup of Whisperers in nearby systems, it's all up to Angelay alone.

Obviously, even though the Bearers have split from a huge legion to a parent group and large and small warbands, it is not an easy task for an Astarte to handle and coordinate the affairs of a legion.

So much so that the etiquette of personally greeting the genetic prototype was temporarily put on hold by him.

So far, the results have been very good.

Not only did Angeltai not disappoint Luojia, but gradually developed some hidden qualities - after the Dark Angel left Colchis, he led the Legion of Whisperers to methodically suppress the activities of the mechanical living corpses, and even the defenders of the First Legion were impressed with him, and his own status in the mother group gradually increased, as if he was about to become the deputy of the legion.

"Well, thank you, Angeltay."

Elaine nodded slightly, compared to an army like the Bearer, which was full of cumbersome cultures, the Children of the Mountains only had simple discipline.

Besides, she has never been one who cares about etiquette.

"I know you, warrior of the Bearers."

She knew who he was.

The future blessed son, the warrior buried in the shadow of the Twin Eagles, the poor man who was framed to death by Erebas.

When the City of Perfection was destroyed, it was this Astarte who took himself onto the mothership of the Whisperers.

Although Elaine was not interested in the enchanted warriors who were entangled with the Chaos Demons, she was very impressed by Angeltay's tragic story alone.

Moreover, Elaine was also aware of Angeltay's personal relationship with Karn.

In a way, she hoped that their personal friendship would serve as a link between the two legions—so that she could drag the Bearer out of the mire of fate once and for all.

However, Karn and Angeltay did not have any free time to catch up.

"Where's Luojia?"

Elaine asked straight to the point.

"Please come with me."
