"Which relic does the marshal want?" Grey Wind asked softly.

"Cyberlux Arsenal."

"Understood!"

As the sound of the gray wind fell, a certain part of the battleship began to run.

The corridor at Russell's feet soon came to an end, and turning the corner, he followed the instructions and continued down. Soon, a gate that was too tall to be used by humans appeared in front of him.

"From here, it's a warehouse."

Russell was a little puzzled, the path he had taken before was only a small section, far from entering the core section of this battleship, how could he have already arrived at the warehouse?

Soon, this mystery was solved.

As the gate opens, the interior of the warehouse, where ancient relics are stored, comes into view.

The first thing that broke into Russell's vision was a huge sarcoma suspended in mid-air, imprisoned in the center of the chamber by the dense force field generators on the walls, its twisted flesh exuding a terrifying hunger desire.

If you look closely, you can see that this is actually a big meat worm with a bloated and fat body, but the body is curled up in a ball, and the epidermis looks dry, as if it is dehydrated.

This is the queen worm.

The queen is so large that even though she has curled up into a ball and is dehydrated and dormant, Russell still can't see the end of her body, which can be called an asteroid.

As a rough estimate, the giant fleshy worm curled up was almost one-third the size of the warship that housed it.

The seemingly mighty behemoth was actually a hollow shell, and most of the space inside was used to imprison the queen worm, like a yellow peach in a can.

And the door that Russell just opened is actually more like a small window that opens on the wall.

Sailing the universe with such a dangerous hollow battleship, is Gray Wind really not afraid of being dismantled by any accident...... Well, it really doesn't seem to be afraid of disintegration.

"It's a crazy structure, and that's what nanobots can do." Russell snorted.

"It's the biggest of all the relics, and it's almost filling my belly."

Gray Wind's voice was still brisk, sounding heartless: "The other relics don't take up much space, only the Cyberlux Arsenal that the marshal intends to use is slightly larger...... It's in another cabin, I'll send you there. ”

Russell nodded.

Following the guidance of Grey Wind, he walked through the chamber behind the Imprisoned Worm to another warehouse at the stern of the ship, and as the door opened, Russell saw a steel beast lying quietly in another chamber that also had a stasis field.

It looks a bit like a human armored tank, but it's much larger and more complex than that, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's a modern metropolis, with a dull mechanical structure and an apparently energy outage.

Cyberlux Arsenal, as its name suggests. It's an arsenal.

This is a legacy from the forerunners of the Machine, a war machine that was used to conquer the galaxy in ancient times.

This steel behemoth has an entire industrial system within its body, capable of directly processing raw ore into alloys and casting them into the strongest land power in the stars:

Cyberlux Battlebody.

Judging by the textual descriptions in the stars, the towering size and powerful firepower of the Cyberlux battle body should be similar to the Empire's Titan Divine Machine.

In short, this is a fully automated industrial production line capable of mass production of Titan-class land forces from raw ore.

Russell took a deep breath and stepped forward.

With the release of the stasis force field and the restart of the energy core, the various structures around the Cyberlux Arsenal have been reactivated and put into standby.

Looking up as he approached, he couldn't see the top of the arsenal.

The steel behemoth crawls to the ground, its machinery humming slightly, its abyssal jaws wide open, and if enough minerals are poured into it, it can continue to create Titan-class war machines.

So, where do you go to find enough minerals?

There are some mineral deposits in the southern continent of Falla, and they have been excavated for a period of time, and the conditions are not unsuitable, but Russell thought for a moment and did not choose here.

"What do you need me to do? Marshal? ”

The voice of the gray wind dragged Russell's thoughts back. He was silent for a moment, then said:

"There are two small moons in Falla's orbit, and I need you to place the arsenal deep underground in the 'First Moon', which is closer to the planet, and hide it to make a battle body."

"I see, but marshal...... According to drone scanning, there are no particularly rich mineral resources on that asteroid, and even if we completely squeeze it out, we will not be able to create a fully formed combat body. ”

Gray Wind expressed his opinion softly: "And after the resources are hollowed out, it is more troublesome to transfer the arsenal again - it is difficult for me to guarantee that the hollowed-out satellites will not collapse and disintegrate in the process. ”

Wouldn't that be contrary to Russell's demand for "hiding"?

Russell nodded: "But this is the most convenient and fastest way, the drawbacks you said do exist, but they are still within the acceptable range." ”

"Okay, I got it." Grey Wind didn't say anything more.

Then, the people on Falla, who had just lifted the state of emergency, were surprised to see that the huge warship that had been hovering over the sky dome was moving again, deflecting its course, slowly moving off its tracks and disappearing from view of the earth.

The giant ship incarnated by the gray wind came to the side of the First Moon with its back to Falla, and stayed there, no one knowing what it was doing.

During the time it took to house the Cyberlux Arsenal, Russell returned to the surface first. With him landed, there were also more than twenty unmanned carrier-based aircraft, which were the necessary forces.

The planet Falla has long been divided by the nobles of various places, and even the planetary governors have only nominal jurisdiction over them, and in fact it is difficult to even collect taxes.

However, when the gray wind arrives and the nobles from all over the country flee in panic, Russell is finally able to cut through the chaos quickly and successfully occupy the moral high ground and shoot them down.

This reduced a lot of resistance to his plan for the next step of integrating planetary forces.

Falla has no resources, and the only thing left on the planet is the population, except for the construction machinery that the machines will leave behind.

There are three main demographic currents on Falla: the state religion, the cult of the mechanical gods, and the imperial truth.

Yes, here, there are even those who support Imperial Truth.

The most direct reason why the people of the empire worship the emperor as a god is the increasingly erosive situation in the galaxy. The empire that had been in ruins after the Horus Rebellion was crumbling under the onslaught of various forces, and the edifice was about to collapse, and it was in dire need of a spiritual pillar and a common faith that could unite everyone from collapse.

That faith is the emperor.

It can be said that the more dire the people of a place, the more enthusiastic and firm their belief in the emperor becomes.

Fallas does not belong to this one.
