178 Tongue War

Casting World Antarx, is the most famous and important world in the entire Vidal Star Sector. This huge planetary factory supplies equipment to more than 100 astral military regiments and more than a dozen interstellar marines, and is the most important logistics center in the theater.

The starry sky around Antarx was as dead as a wasteland, and only the gentle call still drifted away in the sea of souls. This is not a good sign.

"In the worst-case scenario, if the subspace silence in this airspace is caused by space necromancy, then the reason why our star language is not being responded to is most likely because Antarx and the world around it have fallen."

"The loss of the logistical supply of Antarx, the vital foundry world, is tantamount to cutting off the lifeline of the Vidal Star Sector, and the situation in the entire war zone is bound to deteriorate rapidly, and the Empire is likely to lose control of the Vidal Star Sector......

Dressed in full armor and walking with heavy and vigorous steps, Elliud entered the central control room of the Celestial Lady with the Biological Sage and the Chief Think Tank, and there were already many people busy inside—mainly a few high-level technical priests who had set off with the ship were burning incense and praying for blessings around the central processing unit of the Majestic Heroine, chanting sacred binary prayers for the favor of the God of Machines.

"Dianying Heroine" sat on the central processing unit and looked at them blankly, several times before opening his mouth to say something, and then closed his mouth helplessly.

Unlike other large machines that have experienced the baptism of war for a long time and naturally born from the infiltration of countless people's thoughts and feelings, the battleship soul of the Valkyrie-class battleship is sacrificed by a pious nun after a series of sacred ceremonies of the state religion and the machine religion, which is artificially catalyzed.

Each Valkyrie needs to go through a lengthy living sacrifice ceremony before leaving the factory, and the bloody living sacrifice often needs to be repeated many times before it can successfully awaken the soul, and only the most devout pure nuns can successfully renounce their bodies and names during the ceremony, and continue to serve the emperor as a Valkyrie.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the 'Heroine of the Palace' turns a blind eye to the gentle call of the clay artist.

Dressed in the same vacuum robe as the prophet, the Radiant Nun sits solemnly on the CPU, her body between the unreal and the real looming.

Dianying Nujie was at a loss for what to do, and she was puzzled by the technical priests who surrounded her and chanted the words and danced gods...... But looking at the fanatical appearance of the technical priests, I dare not say that they are so annoying.

Before she gave up her former name to become a "heroine of the palace", she was an introverted and weak nun in the state church. Unable to become a battle nun, she was unwilling to become an attendant or secretary who stood behind the aristocratic bureaucrats to advise them, so she volunteered to become a living sacrifice to awaken the Valkyrie and dedicate herself to the empire in another way.

This bully personality survived after becoming a mech, and the warriors of the Blue Blood Noble Warband liked to play tricks on her over trivial matters...... Even the chief think tank, Senerio, was solemnly warned by the warlord for provoking the crying Valkyrie.

After the hatch of the central control room opened, the Lady of the Temple hurriedly cast a plea of help to the battleship commander Elliud, who had just walked in, but when she saw Senerio following behind the warband, she couldn't help but tense up like a feline that saw a vicious dog.

"What are they doing?"

After witnessing the chatter of several priests and gods of incense and the troubled appearance of the temple heroine, Elliud asked the biological sage Igrenu beside him.

"Well, this is a ritual to appease the machine spirits, reciting the sacred binary prayer, and asking for the favor of the god of all machines, lest the Valkyrie's machine soul be bewitched by the clay artist......" Igranu said with a wandering gaze, "There are already several mechanical arks whose machine souls are showing signs of near-loss of control, and many engines and thrusters are starting on their own, trying to get closer in the direction of Antax. ”

That's why the technical priest on the Dianying Maiden is so nervous, the loss of control of the other ships in the fleet is still within acceptable limits, and once the Valkyrie is out of control, the 13th Expeditionary Fleet will undoubtedly fall apart.

"That's why you sing the Mechanic Prayer to the nuns of the State Church?" Elliud looked incredulously at the senior priests who were singing and dancing around the CPU: "Does she understand?" ”

"Hmm...... Maybe? Igerenu didn't know what to answer for a moment.

Elliud, who almost laughed angrily, quickly stepped forward and stopped the bewilderment of a sage who tried to anoint the temple lady with holy oil.

Senerio stood in the doorway with great interest, not approaching Miss Mech, who was shivering behind Elliud.

The priests who were interrupted by the Jumping God were furious and denounced the blue-blooded nobles' warband leaders for not respecting the traditions of the Mechon, and Elliud was respectful of each other by singing the Mecha binary prayer to the women of the State Religion? Fight back.

The powerful counterattack from the war leader made the technical priests angry, and for a while, the central control room was full of noise, and the atmosphere was very absurd for a while.

Senerio quietly walked up to the bio-sage Igrenu and whispered to her: "The head of the regiment was once an extreme warrior stationed in the Sleeping Land of the original body, you better not quarrel with him in the future, he has the eloquence inherited from Macurag, and it is difficult for ordinary people to win the ......"

Truth be told, Senerio suspected that even Killiman himself might not be able to quarrel with Elliud even if he was alive—only someone like him would have such a rebellious idea.

The Biological Sage took the advice of the Chief Think Tank to heart and felt that it was too practical.

Ellioud quickly left several technocrats speechless, and under the kind gaze of the ever-victorious swordsmen of the Blue-Blood Noble Honor Guard, the oilers had to abandon the idea of convincing Elliud physically.

It's not that I don't dare to play, but the main thing is that this is someone else's home field.

Sitting on the central processing unit, Dianying Nujie covered her face with her hands, looked at Elliud's majestic back with shining eyes, and her heart was full of admiration for the battle leader.

At the same time that Ellioud ended his dispute with the Order of Mechanics, the situation of the 13th Expeditionary Fleet was not optimistic.

The scythe-shaped, crescent-shaped crescent-shaped warship of the Space Necron is heading this way, and in the void, the call of the "Clay Artist" continues.

The situation of the Dianying Nujie and some veteran warships that have followed the soldiers of the blue-blooded nobles for many years is relatively good, and the mechanical order has also successfully stabilized the mood of most of the equipment and machine souls through various means, as for the ships of the Truth Order that accompanied the army...... There is no such thing as a machine soul on their ship.

But there were still a handful of battleships whose mechs lost control at the clay artist's call, and forced their engines to rush in the direction of the Foundry World Antax.
