Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 138 Angel Tai
As the Son of the Mountains' airdrop pod crashed onto the surface of Colchis, Elaine and his party also saw the target of their trip.

It was a huge tower towering into the sky, just like the legendary Tower of Babel - the Tower of Babel.

But compared to the giant tower that can link the thoughts and will of all mankind, this giant tower has significant mechanical elements. There is no doubt that this is what Elaine has seen in the banquet between subspace and the real universe. That mechanical tower.

But compared to those dilapidated and ancient Iron Man ruins, the giant tower in front of them was like a wonder and giant building of some powerful civilization.

The very existence of a huge building that is tall enough to reach space is a challenge to materials and architecture, not to mention that this giant tower almost appeared out of thin air without consuming any known resources - Luo Gazen ordered the Tech-Priests to carefully explore the mass and composition of the Iron Men and the mechanical tower, and compare their composition with existing elements and synthetic elements on Colchis.

The outcome is completely unknown.

Although the human empire also has the ability and technology to build similar buildings, it is simply impossible to build such a marvelous building without using the resources of the planet.

From the imperial point of view, the building did not belong to Colchis at all.

It seems like a ghost building that fell from subspace into the real universe.

And the fact...

That seems to be the case.

After all, in her opinion, this mechanical tower is most likely just the "bones" left behind by the iron demon whose core he removed.

The mechanical zombies that continuously pour out from the tower may come from the weird technology from the dark technological era. In that scary and crazy era, infinite energy, perpetual motion machines, and more advanced and mysterious technologies may not be so weird. things.

The mechanical lifeforms will only execute the last instruction they received in a loop before there are specific instructions to guide them.

【Reviving Iron Man Civilization】

Presumably, this is the remaining will of the iron man.

Although subspace life generally does not leave corpses in the real universe, it is a demon affiliated with the All-Changing Demon Lord, and even death may be just a part of their conspiracy.

Therefore, Elaine did not relax her vigilance and regard it as a disaster that could be easily dealt with.

Just like the four Chosen Gods of the Inquisition who fought against Nurgle in the hive city of Tetian, an ordinary survey mission may also evolve into a fierce battle against Chaos monsters due to the malice of Chaos.

There is no guarantee that a bunch of pink fear monsters will suddenly appear on the way.

Of course, the team she leads are not illegal psykers who suddenly lose control and explode themselves, Ogryn who only knows how to waste ammunition, fanatics who run faster than anyone else when something goes wrong, or veterans who are often blown to ashes by plasma guns.

Behind her is a team of Astartes veterans who have been tempered in the bloody battles of Chaos, faced the demon army of Khorne, and won the glory of victory.

……

When they arrived at the foot of the mechanical tower, they saw the Word Bearers' artillery position.

At this moment, the Word Bearers are bombarding the entrance to the mechanical tower around the clock——

That strange door seemed to be connected to the subspace, and mechanical zombies were constantly pouring out.

In the command center, Elaine met the temporary commander of the Word Bearers.

"You are here, my lord."

Seeing Elaine's arrival, Angeltai stood up from the commander's seat respectfully and saluted.

Behind Elaine, Kahn was slightly startled.

He had never imagined that the battle brother of the Word Bearers could hold such a high position.

We all used to be brothers struggling in the duel pit. Why did you suddenly get promoted? ...Oh, I was once the second-in-command of the legion, so that’s okay.

Different from Kahn's nonsensical thoughts, Angeltai was actually a little nervous when facing the Primarch in front of him.

After all, it stands to reason that the status gap between the original body and the Astartes officers is very significant. He should greet the other party in person after receiving the communication from the No. 12 Legion, instead of waiting for the other party to come to his door.

But the many trivial matters on Colchis made Angeltay really anxious.

At this time, he was carrying nearly the weight of the entire No. 17 Legion.

Under Lorgar's orders, the Chapter Master of the Jagged Sun Chapter temporarily took over command of the Word Bearers Legion.

Although Luojia is suspected of not wanting to manage the legion because he is confused, Angeltai has always been very strict in dealing with the orders of the Gene Father.

Whether it was maintaining vigilance against the Dark Angels, settling the civilians who had evacuated Colchis, or contacting the Word Bearers sub-groups in nearby systems, it was all handled by Angel Tai alone.

Obviously, even though the Word Bearers have been split from a huge legion into a parent group and large and small war groups, it is not easy for an Astartes to handle and coordinate the affairs of a legion. manual labor.

So much so that the etiquette of welcoming the Primarch in person was temporarily shelved by him.

So far, the results are very good.

Angeltai not only did not disappoint Luojia, but gradually developed some hidden qualities - after the Dark Angels left Colchis, he led the Word Bearers Legion to methodically suppress the activities of the mechanical zombies. , even the defenders of the First Legion looked at him with admiration, and his status in the parent regiment gradually increased, as if he was about to become the deputy of the legion.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Angelte."

Elaine nodded slightly. Compared to legions like the Word Bearers, which were filled with all kinds of cumbersome culture, the Sons of the Mountains only had simple discipline.

Besides, she has never been someone who cared about etiquette.

"I recognize you, warrior of the Word Bearers."

Of course she knew who he was.

The future blessed son, the warrior buried in the shadow of the twin eagles, the poor man framed to death by Erebus.

It was this Astartes who took himself aboard the Word Bearers' mothership when the Perfect City was destroyed.

Although Elaine was not interested in those possessed warriors who were entangled with Chaos Demons, judging from Angeltai's tragic story alone, she was very impressed by him.

Moreover, Elaine also knew that Angeltai and Kahn had a deep personal relationship.

In part, she hoped that their personal relationship would serve as a link between the two Legions—so that she could drag the Word Bearers out of their fate.

However, there is currently no free time for Kahn and Angelte to catch up on old times.

"Where is Luojia?"

Elaine asked straight to the point.

"Please come with me."
