Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 123 The possibility of the third type of perpetual motion machine

"Colchis...is the home planet of the leader of the No. 17 Legion?"

Kahn thought for a moment before digging out the memory about Colchis from the depths of his memory. Obviously, he knew very little about the Word Bearers who were not dazzling in the Great Crusade, so much so that Kahn even I have never deliberately learned anything about them. After all, their 'friendly' method of conquest is too slow and cannot compete with the efficiency of other legions.

However, Kahn did have a certain impression of the Word Bearers, but this impression did not come from the real universe, but from the future images that Elaine had shown to the Children of the Mountain - whether in the infamous The massacre at Isstvan's landing site, or the Shadow Crusade that swept across the entire Ultramarine Star Territory.

If there must be certain key points in the great rebellion that may occur in the future, then the Word Bearers must be among them.

Thinking of this and looking at his mother's pensive look, Kahn roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Since the mother wants to fight against the power of Chaos, she should contact those legions that may rebel in advance and eradicate any possible sparks of rebellion.

After all, there is obviously more than one Astartes legion targeted by the evil forces of the subspace.Just like towering trees, there are also holes that are corroded. In fact, Kahn's view of many Astartes legions is not optimistic - in that future scene full of terror and darkness, he glimpsed the former glory of the Human Empire. Destroyed in the rebellion, there are traces of chaos at work in the destruction, and the mother who fights against chaos will undoubtedly rush to the forefront of such incidents.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that the mother had some interaction with them during the period of her disappearance.

"It seems like you have already been in contact with them."

"Yes, not only have I come into contact with you...but there are also a lot of troubles waiting for me to deal with."

"But if you want to go into detail, it may be a bit complicated. The general situation is... when I returned to reality from subspace, I fell into the world of the Word Bearers - but it wasn't long before I was given a very important job by my father, so I followed the Word Bearers' fleet to Colchis..."

"Subsequently, signs of Iron Man and subspace invasion were found locally."

Elaine said with a slight distress that she still didn't understand why the Iron Man whose original core was removed by her was still moving, and the mechanical tower that should have been covered by the subspace curtain was also revealed in the real universe.

However, this encrypted battle report did not record any overly strong subspace energy readings. It is possible that the iron man who had become a demon had long been exiled back to the subspace.

If you really think about it carefully...it might be Tzeentch's back-up plan.

As long as incomprehensible changes can be dumped on the blue-haired bird, it is considered a consensus in this universe.

"……I see."

Kahn frowned when he heard the term 'Iron Man'.

Although I don't know why my mother went to Colchis, there is a high probability that it was an order from the Emperor himself. Nuceria, which has been relatively devoid of information recently, has not heard of what happened to the Word Bearers Legion. Important matter.

It's most likely a problem with the progress of the Great Expedition.

It's just... He thought that his mother was most likely going to Colchis to deal with subspace-related matters, but he didn't expect that apart from subspace-related issues, there were signs of Iron Man on Colchis.Kahn, who has gone through almost 200 years of long wars, has also heard about those terrible creations of the dark technological age. In the rumors of warrior associations, those terrible abominable intelligences have extraordinary lethality, and this lethality The source of it naturally comes from the unimaginable advanced technologies of these ancient beings. On the way to Comoros to find his mother, Kahn was often brainwashed by Ronald's noisy and trivial chatter. These oil guys Their pursuit of technology is almost comparable to that of fanatics.

There are even rumors that those ancient Iron Men even had terrifying weapons that could harm the Primarch.

However, such rumors usually cease with the intervention of the First Legion.

From this point of view, mother's side is really surrounded by malice and danger all the time...even the one-in-a-million Iron Man Resurrection can be encountered.

"So, is this trip also because of Iron Man?"

Facing Kahn's question, Elaine hesitated in his answer.

"…I guess so."

After all, she didn't know what happened in Colchis.Logically speaking, no matter how urgent the situation is, it is just that the other iron men in the ruins have recovered. With the combined military power of the First Army and the No. 17 Army, such a small matter is not a problem at all.What's more, Jonson is one of the few beings in the empire who knows a lot about Iron Man, so when she left to deal with the problem of subspace, she didn't care about the possible remaining problems on Colchis.

And various information in the battle report also proves that what they have to face is at best the "weirdness" of Iron Man, rather than the terrifying technology of those dark technological ages.

Just from the fact that there are still troops stationed on the surface, it can be seen that the problem in Colchis is not serious enough to require the use of an extermination order.

No matter how extreme Jonson was, it was impossible to directly launch a cyclone torpedo while there were still troops stationed on the surface of Colchis.

——But...why are there a steady stream of Iron Man legions pouring out of that giant tower?

She recalled the extremely abnormal iron men recorded in the battle report, their too weak combat capabilities, and their high degree of plasticity, like industrial cornerstones produced in factories... and the machines she had seen in the cracks of subspace. The living corpses are completely different. If those mechanical living corpses are like the dead corpses of the iron men, then these abnormal iron men are more like babies just born from swaddling clothes.

Logically speaking, the original central part of the Iron Man is almost equivalent to the human brain. Elaine does not think that any existence can continue to maintain activities when the brain is removed. If there is not a steady stream of Iron Man pouring out from the giant tower, In her opinion, this weird incident can only be regarded as a 'rigor mortis' reaction.

But the endless production capacity inside the mechanical tower does indeed exist.

Elaine herself didn't know whether the iron men in those dark technological eras had technology similar to the third type of perpetual motion machine, so she was still a little uneasy subconsciously.
