When moving the creation of the Star Tech Tree to this universe, Russell always used the "legacy of the dark age of technology" to fool the automata, and forced himself to give himself legitimacy.

And now, he's truly found a piece of human heritage from the dark ages of technology.

"This is an extremely powerful and extremely dangerous weapon, originally assembled on the war flagship of ancient mankind as the main weapon." Russell exhaled a long exhale of the air he had inhaled earlier, and looked away from the circular instrument and cast his gaze on the transparent cube linked to the instrument underneath: "And it is the core of AI that controls the flagship and main weapon of war." ”

The connection between the ring instrument and the transparent cube was sloppy, and Russell understood the reason for this, and that was because the elves had failed to comprehend the overly powerful and mysterious technology of the Dark Ages of human technology.

He stepped forward, stood beneath the broken crystal clusters, stared at the silent AI core, and explained to Grey Wind:

"The Spirit Empire has had a lot of contact and conflict with the ancient humans of the Dark Age of Technology, and even a few wars have broken out."

"And in the largest conflict recorded in the history of the Spirit Race, the Spirit Empire narrowly destroyed one of humanity's most precious war flagships after paying a heavy price."

"After the war, the Spirit Clan dismantled the ship's main weapon and artificial intelligence core separately, trying to research and decipher the incredible time technology."

Yes, the purpose of this weapon, is to interfere with time.

"Did the Fódla's Ark Spirit Clan plan to break the game with this thing just now?" Grey Wind was a little confused.

"Yes, because it's a time weapon."

Russell looked up at the ring-shaped machine resting on the crystal cluster, and continued:

"Humans in the Dark Ages of technology are particularly adept at time technology, and they are adept at using the technology of manipulating time to counter the Elven Race's ability to foresee the future, and the purpose of this weapon is - a large-scale time rewind."

"The Spirit Empire has not been able to crack the mystery of human time technology until its own collapse, and the activation authority of the weapon is also in the hands of the AI, but they still have developed a rather crude way to use this weapon - connect the weapon to the AI core and then overload the system, and forcibly activate it at the cost of the collapse of the weapon itself."

"The Elves plan to use this method to rewind the time of the entire Lost Dream Constellation, so that the miniature galaxy can be restored to a complete state without damage, and they themselves can ride the tide of time with the Ark World to enter the new universe in the miniature galaxy and be free from then on."

Speaking of which, Russell was a little afraid.

Fortunately, his actions were not slow, otherwise he would have been successfully activated by the Spirit Clan, and even he would have entered the miniature galaxy with this group of cowardly bean sprouts.

"No wonder you said before that once a dangerous device is successfully activated by the Spirit Race, the entire Dream Lost Nebula and we will not exist in this universe." Gray Wind suddenly realized: "So that's what it means?" ”

Immediately afterward, Grey Wind said, "I wonder if this weapon can be used by us?" ”

The power of the weapon of time is too powerful, and if it is possible to use it, I believe that no one will let go of this opportunity, and Russell is no exception.

"The control of the Time Weapon belongs to this former battleship AI, and we can start here." Russell clapped his hands gently: "Until then, it's time for us to go." ”

Two strong hive tyrants walked from behind him to the crystal cluster cage, and the two bugs carried the ring-shaped time weapon and the transparent cube-shaped AI core, respectively.

With two pieces of human heritage from the Dark Ages of Technology, Russell leaves the world of Fódlan's Ark.

After Russell left, the huge hive mothership emerged from the nebula and docked above the corpses of the Ark World, the swarm was still dismantling, and the corpses of the spirits and zergs who died in the previous war were all recycled as biomass raw materials without discrimination, without a drop being wasted.

And those spirit individuals who were reduced to unenlightened species, as well as the few Fódlana warriors who were lucky enough to be seriously injured and did not die, were also swallowed into the flesh cavity of the biological mothership, and the next step of training was carried out according to Russell's plan. Compared to burning the land to dust, these spirits were able to provide Russell with more and greater benefits after being domesticated.

After ending the war in his hands, Russell also learned about the situation in other regions on the way back:

Because of the timely return of reinforcements, the Imperial Army commanded by Alexei temporarily suppressed the two-sided attack of the Spirit Clan's offensive forces with a not very good-looking battle loss ratio, and the reason why it is said to be temporary is because it was still unable to suppress it in the end.

A scarred Eldar destroyer eventually broke through the Imperial defenses and launched a suicidal assault on the main gate of the L-Stargate at Falla, which did not hesitate to detonate the Singularity Reactor at the destroyer's core after teleporting to Fallas through the Stargate, blasting its own body to pieces along with the left hand of the Guide's icon.

Even though the Orders of Truth, who were prepared for the worst, succeeded in repairing the main gate in the first place with the nanobots left to them by Grey Wind, this failed battle to defend the Imperial Icon was still regarded as a great shame by the Imperial Army, and countless Anglican priests broke down and wept on the battlefield.

The leader of the crimson upstart fell into a certain state of madness because of this, and took his own guards to kill the enemy and almost fell into the encirclement and died, and in the end, it was the Steel Wanderer Wargroup who drove the interceptor to desperately rescue them.

"I didn't hold it...... Although it is a pity, I don't blame them, although there are many advanced fighters I have provided to the Iron Spirit, but it is only a drop in the bucket on a battlefield of this level, and it is already a miracle to be able to keep the Star Gate for so long in the hands of the Spirit Clan who act strangely. ”

Russell shook his head and asked another question he was more concerned about: "What about Milak?" The Repentant Fire Warband should also participate in the battle, right, the enemies have all been killed to the home planet, and they have to get up with a knife to recuperate, right? ”

Grey Wind shook his head: "No, Milak is missing, along with the only 38 remaining veterans of the Flame of Repentance Warband, the Inquisition is still looking for them everywhere. ”

"Missing?" Russell was a little nervous: "What the hell is going on, tell me in detail." ”

"Okay." Grey Wind nodded, came to Russell and sat down next to him, and then said:

"At the very beginning of the war, when the Eldars launched their main attack on the two systems of Xihe and Aurora at the same time, the leader of the Flame of Repentance, Milak, and 38 veterans of the warband mysteriously disappeared without warning."

"The Mechanists said that Milak had asked them for 2 light strike boats and a guided missile destroyer before he disappeared, and then disappeared without saying a word, and has not been heard from since."

"Because Mirak's disappearance coincided with the time when the Spirit Clan attacked Falla, and the fact that the Flame of Confession had opened fire on the statue of the Guiding Path before, the Inquisition considered that the Flame of Confession had betrayed the Empire by fleeing from the battle."

"There are also radicals who have sent petitions to Alexei and the Ministry of Military Affairs, hoping to erase the formation of the heretical warband of the Flame of Repentance, and replace it with other warbands capable of protecting the emperor and stationing them in Falla."

This is not a very good situation, especially since Russell knows that Milak is a loyal man. Russell frowned as he listened, and subconsciously clenched his fists, with both doubts and worries in his heart.

Gray Wind lowered his head, took Russell's palms with both hands, stretched out his fingers that had been clenched into fists one by one, and said softly, "You are a little nervous, Marshal, what's wrong?" ”

Russell realized his gaffe, so he smiled at Grey Wind and said, "I saw that one day, in the future, Milak would give me some kind of vital help, and now he is missing......"

What had been a clear situation immediately became complicated, something he had not foreseen.

"Huh?" Gray Wind blinked, his expression full of surprise: "So this sentence is not a rhetoric used by the marshal to fool them?" Is it true? ”

"Of course it's true...... Russell pinched Grey Wind's face with one hand, pulling out half of its crying face.

It would be nice if it was really just a fool of people.

"Anyway, let's go back to Falla first, and then find a way to find out why Milak disappeared and where he went." Russell let go of his hand and let the half of the crying face on Grey Wind's cheeks return to its original state.

Looking at his current appearance of overreacting because of the suspected error in the prophecy, Russell couldn't help but laugh at himself.

He suddenly remembered two genetic agents who had the same ability to predict the future as himself: St. Giles and Conrad Coetze, both of whom believed in their prophecies to the point of being stunned, and as a result, one was plucked out by Horus, and the other was made into a space drifting bottle.

The current self doesn't seem to be much different from them, just like a clown.

Is it true that the human mind cannot control the power of God?

Gray Wind looked at Russell's face with wide eyes, it didn't understand very well, it was clear that he had just defeated the Spirit Clan of Fódla's Ark, and had obtained treasures such as the Time Weapon and the Ancient Artificial Intelligence Core, and the marshal was not only unhappy, but also became a little lost because of the disappearance of dozens of genetically modified people.

After thinking for a while, Gray Wind carefully took Russell's hand and put it on his face, pinching out half of his crying face.

"Will you feel better this way?"

Russell was stunned for a moment, then sighed with a smile: "Thank you, Gray Wind, I'm much better." ”

After saying that, he pinched half of Gray Wind's crying face into a smile, and the other half of Gray Wind's face also laughed.

In fact, after calming down, Russell could more or less guess the reason why Milak took the only remaining veterans of the Confessional Fire Warband to quit without telling him, but that reason was not suitable for the Anglican and the Inquisition as a reason to exonerate...... Rather, that reason is a crime in itself.

Coupled with the fact that the timing of their disappearance was so coincidental, even if the words of the star player were heavy, he did not have much confidence that he would be able to keep the name of the Flame of Repentance.

Let's take it one step at a time.

The Grey Mothership soon returned to the Xihe system and returned to Falla through the L-Star Gate.

In the sky above the Star Gate that had been urgently repaired, the left hand of the Emperor Icon was still mutilated, and Russell didn't care about this.

After the gray Gu mothership flew into the Fallas system, the first thing that broke into view was a crimson planet covered in a steel frame and various industrial zoning.

Urban planet "Embra".

This planet, originally in the outer ring of the Fallas system, was forcibly pushed into the habitable zone by a miracle by the Mechanics Order, and transformed into an urban planet with full production capacity, an ideal city that constantly devours massive resources to process them into high-strength alloys and various military/civilian industrial products.

It's just that there is a huge symbol on the surface of this ideal city, which can be seen even in space, and that is the symbol of the Mechanical Order, the Gear Skull.

The influence of the Mechanical Order goes far beyond that, when the Gray Gu Mothership left Embra behind and entered the inner ring of the galaxy, the outline of a behemoth emerged, and the star base "Seeker", which anchored itself in the orbit of the star, was also close at hand.

The Zelow Storm Projector left behind by the Star-Marquers is mounted at the top of the star base, and this artifact capable of setting off a galaxy-scale subspace storm is in the shape of a three-legged tower carved with obscure Zelo script, but that was before.

Today, the central control room of the star base beneath the Zelo Storm Projector has been transformed into a splendid and magnificent cathedral, full of frescoes, scriptures, and poems that praise the human emperor, and even the Zelow script of the three-legged tower itself has been obscured, printed with the representative gear skeleton of the Automata and the sacred imperial double-headed eagle.

This group of gods...... Seeing the storm projector that had been transformed into the shape of an empire, Russell inexplicably felt like he had been NTR.

Boarding the Seeker with mixed feelings, Russell participated in several post-war meetings led by Alexei as Viceroy of Falla, mainly in celebration content, and everyone deliberately avoided talking about the emperor's shattered left hand, focusing more on emphasizing how many troops and resources their respective planets had provided for this great victory, and exaggerating their own contributions.

After a few discussions, Russell felt that he had gained nothing other than feeling that he was respected in the upper circle of Espernez and that his words carried little weight.

However, the Order of Truth has been doing well in the arms business lately, and after the battle with the Spirit Clan of Fódla's Ark, forces including the Order of the Mechanics and the Iron Spirit Warband have hoarded a large number of psionic dust and living Spirit captives. Russell's previously deployed high-performance interceptors, Cyberlux battle bodies, weapons of destruction and the like were basically bought by them.

Coupled with the fact that the news spread by Bernartita has spread throughout the underground world of the Espernez Star Zone, it is foreseeable that Russell will probably not be short of psionic fuel for a long time in the future.

And this realm will probably become a forbidden area for the Spirit Race.

It is worth mentioning that the Order of Truth is not a legal organization recognized by the Empire, and of course Russell does not bother to be recognized by the Empire. Therefore, the trading of psionic dust has always been similar to the trading process of the black market, and it cannot be put on the table to do it in a bright way.

This is also the reason why Russell did not ask Alexei, but used Bernarita to spread the news.
