When the Gravelbreaker surfaced from Mandeville Point in Armageddon's system, the battle barge belonging to the Iron Warriors had just emerged when it was hit by the fire of several orc clans.

Fortunately, Peturabo had been prepared for this, and before jumping out of the subspace, the commander of the first company, Fagato, left the headquarters and went to the prison in the lower cabin, dragging out the sacrifices that had been prepared long ago.

It was a serf taken from the agrarian world of the Human Empire, unclothed and bruised, confined to the dark and crowded lower cabin.

Fagato picked up the two slaves and threw them into a black 'millstone'-like mechanism, an ancient relic from the Dark Ages of Technology, an artifact entrusted to him by the Primordial himself before his departure.

As the energy was pumped into the pipeline, the mechanical 'grinding disc' began to rotate, and the overflowing blood slid down the cracks of the grinding disc, creating a beautiful blood-colored pattern flowing on the altar.

Sharp cries echoed through the deep cabins of the Gravelbreaker, the souls of slaves whose flesh had been worn out by mechanical millstones, ancient machines satiated with pure blood, and relics from the dark ages of technology in motion.

High-explosive projectiles and biting lasers fired by orcs in the distance looked like they were about to hit the Stonebreaker's outer shields, but as the mechanical millstone turned, the artifact from the Dark Ages was awakened, and the attacks mysteriously vanished.

The airspace in front of the Gravelcrusher was empty, and there were no torpedoes or lasers ever flying at them.

This is the ability of this relic, which requires the use of human blood to activate, and it is not a direct block/deflection of enemy attacks like a regular energy shield, nor is it a Void Shield that transfers its own attacks into subspace and makes it flood.

The 'Mechanical Mill' wiped out the cause of the Stonebreaker's injuries straight to the source, the orcs' cannons were cold, and they hadn't launched any attacks since then.

"The Paradox Engine, a dark relic that erases 'facts' like an eraser erases pencil drawings." Fabius Bair recognized the cause of this horrific phenomenon.

A brief introduction to the principle of the paradox engine, let's say that Bayer is about to be shot at this moment:

The enemy pulls out the gun - aims at Bayer's head - pulls the trigger - the bullet is fired - the headshot is hit

It's a complete assassination process.

If you want to stop this process, you can usually either find a way to knock out the enemy's weapon before he shoots, or quickly find cover to dodge and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, or strike first and give the enemy a backhand shot to compare whose American style is faster.

And the Paradox Engine's solution to this problem is to make the bullet that hit itself non-existent in the first place.

"The humans of the Dark Ages studied science so deeply that many of the relics left behind by the Jin people seem like gods to us." Fagatou Regilok watched as the blood slowed down in front of him, and he casually picked up a sleeping man and threw it into the dry mechanical grinding disc, followed by a loud cry coming from the mechanical grinding disc.

A few seconds later, a pink mass of minced meat was sent to the food processing plant by an automated conveyor belt.

Most of the things in the dark technology era are like this: easy to use, powerful, and not expensive. The downside is that only the most morally corrupt extreme means can activate these mysterious ancient relics.

This is also the reason why the official name of the so-called Golden Age of Humanity is the 'Dark Age of Technology', and the scientific research of the Golden People is often dark and distorted, and they promote their research with all kinds of atrocities that exterminate humanity.

When humanity's footprints are all over the stars, the threat of aliens is suppressed by humanity's powerful technology, and only humans themselves are left to kill the human race.

The Gravelbreaker's engines rushed towards Armageddon at full power, and the large number of green-skinned garbage ships gathered in the galaxy was already crazy, and attacks from various tribes and clans were pouring in, torpedoes, guided missiles, nova cannons, macro cannons, and subspace wave cannons...... A variety of weapons launched a variety of attacks, and the sea of matter and energy wiped the Iron Warriors' battle barge into a sea of death.

However, the engine of paradox continued to run, and the Stonecrusher headed straight ahead, as if the fiery ocean of energy in front of it did not exist.

Yes, it doesn't exist, it never existed.

"This is the glory of humanity from the Golden Age, when we were the masters of the galaxy, and the Xenomorphs could only tremble under the oppression of our powerful technology." Fagato Reggillo said, grabbing the two sleeping baby girls and throwing them into the mechanical grinding disc that was constantly running.

The operation of the relics requires the purity of human flesh and soul, and the unworldly child is undoubtedly the purest.

As for whose children and whose treasures they were before they were taken away by the Iron Warriors...... Who cares?

At least the great scientist of the Golden Age, who developed the engine of paradox, would not care.

Along the way, the Gravelcrusher reached the orbit above Armageddon, and the airborne pods loaded with heavily armed iron warriors shot to the ground, while the company commander Fagatou and the apothecary Fabius Bair began to prepare to board the last airborne and head to the ground.

"According to the reliable information provided by undercover agents within the Human Empire, the artifact 'The Last Bao' first appeared in the Espernes Star Region of the Far Eastern Star Domain, and the Gaia planet infected by green skin spores was also scattered from the Far Eastern Star Domain."

Fabius Baier said as he sorted out his surgical equipment: "If I want to extract the genetic factors of Bao, I need living specimens from the orc clans in the Far Eastern Star Domain, the more the better, and the higher the status in the orc social class, the better." ”

In this way, the chances of recovering Bao can be maximized.

"Understood." Fagato, the commander of the company, put on his helmet and walked with Bayer into the final airborne capsule.

Shouting "Steel inside and out!" The Iron Warriors landed on Armageddon, which was completely overrun by the Greenskins.

After the last airborne capsule also landed, the Gravel Crusher battle barge in orbit immediately activated the emergency subspace jump - there were so many orcs gathered in Armageddon that the Iron Warriors would not have been able to get close to Armageddon without the blessing of the Paradox Engine, and under the long-term fire of the orc tribe, the 'energy' of the Paradox Engine was about to run out.

While the Company Commander leads the Iron Warriors to collect 'specimens' for Beyer's research, the Stonebreaker makes a short-distance subspace blind jump, where they will randomly select a lucky Imperial planet to launch an invasion to replenish the Paradox Engine.

Armageddon, which has always been very lively, is particularly lively today, and the Great Khan dispute has begun.
